Chapter 31: Yuyin Temple

After resting for a while, I noticed that there was an unusual silence outside the door, and I don't know when the noise that had been making at the door had stopped.

Zhu Xuan used the wooden bed against the door of the house and instructed Cao Ran: "I didn't expect them to be so anxious, you wait for me, I'll go see our horses." With that, he turned and jumped out of the window on the back wall. Cao Ran pressed the only tables and chairs in the room again. As soon as Zhu Xuan left, he saw a few figures faintly outside the door, and after wandering for a while, he pushed the door and didn't open it, so he used brute force to hit it.

Where can the light wooden bed withstand the impact of a few strong men, it will be useless in three or five strokes.

Cao Ran leaned her back against the window, looking down from the second floor, it was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything clearly. In an instant, most of the door had been slammed open, and a fat man with a full beard squeezed in first, the same one who had been staring at her for a long time when he entered the store. Cao Ran pulled out the only hairpin, and secretly scolded Zhu Xuan in his heart for being really unreliable, what kind of horse to see at the critical moment!

When the fat man saw Cao Ran, he jumped forward excitedly, but unfortunately tripped on the stool, and even the few people who had just come in behind him also stumbled.

Cao Ran clenched the hairpin with both hands and shouted weakly: "Dead Zhu Xuan, you are coming back, won't you leave me alone!" ”

"Jump off!" It was Zhu Xuan's voice.

It was too dark to see the real thing, and I could only vaguely see the figure under the window. Don't think about how many strong men are close at hand, Cao Ran closed his eyes tightly and jumped down. Since you have not forsaken me, then I believe you.

The cold wind was blowing, Cao Ran slowly opened his eyes, and the horse was already galloping in the forest. Behind him was the sound of Zhu Xuan's regular breathing, and behind him was the sound of chasing horses' hooves.

"You're not scared, I thought you wouldn't dare to jump off." Behind him, Zhu Xuan said with a little surprise.

Although he couldn't see his expression, Cao Ran didn't need to look at it to know his look of contempt. This time she didn't get angry and asked rhetorically, "What are you going to do if I really don't dare to jump off?" Are you still down to me? ”

He replied without hesitation: "I really didn't think about it, now that I think about it, I really don't dare to jump down......" After a pause for a few seconds, "I don't bother to go up, so I guess I'll leave you there." They won't kill you, just sell it to a brothel for a few bucks. He said it so easily that even she felt as if he could really do it, after all, she only owed him a promise to be a slave, and he had no shortage of minions.

The night wind was so strong that Cao Ran's whole body was almost unconscious, and at the beginning of the day, Fang Liang and the two found a green space with a little sunshine and sat down to rest.

Zhu Xuan took out the two steamed buns he put away last night and handed one to Cao Ran: "They have been thrown off, eat something to warm up, let's rest for a while and leave." ”

Cao Ran took the steamed bun and took a bite, it should have been placed close to his body, and the steamed bun was still a little warm.

The rising sun shone on his face, the narrow phoenix eyes curved gracefully, and the straight eyebrows were a little arrogant, although they were not very familiar with each other, although he was not very reliable, and often mocked her, at this moment she was still grateful that he didn't leave her last night.

"Where are we going? If I continue to run like this, even if the horse is fine, I will fall apart. Cao Ran swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth hard, not caring about the image of her daughter's family.

Zhu Xuan untied a kettle from his horse and said, "It should be there in half a day." ”

She clearly remembered that they had already drunk all the water before entering the inn, and when they were in the inn, they didn't dare to touch anything except steamed buns, and took a heavy pot of water and said, "Where did you get it?" ”

"I found it when I was leading the horse." He replied lightly.

"Oh" Cao Ran drank a sip of water, her dry lips became a lot fuller, and suddenly a mouthful of water squirted out without holding back, and it was splashing on the face of Zhu Xuan, who had just sent her water and had not gone far, she didn't care about coughing and said, "Do you still have time to find water?" Aren't you afraid that I will be taken away by them? ”

Zhu Xuantie blushed, glared at her for a long time, turned around and got on the horse and said coldly: "It's really a stupid woman!" ”

Cao Ran was about to hand over a handkerchief to express his apology, but he might have been really angry when he saw him get on the horse and leave, so he hurriedly put away the kettle and chased after him.

He was really angry. He didn't say a word when she hurried for most of the day, and she didn't have a chance to rest to think of a reason to speak. said that it was a half-day journey, and the two walked to dusk without stopping.

Running all the way, the two finally dismounted and arrived at their destination, Yuyin Temple. The doors of the temple were wide open, as if waiting for their arrival. Yuyin Temple is a nunnery built deep in the mountains, and the roads along the way are rugged and few people come.

Entering the temple, the presiding nun hurriedly took the blood of the snow wolf and went to make medicine. Cao Ran was taken to a quiet guest room, covered with layers of white veil, and on the couch lay a silver-haired woman. The woman closed her eyes slightly, saw Zhu Xuan smiling and holding his head, and said softly: "Xuan'er, where have you been, my mother thought you wouldn't come back." ”

Although the woman who calls herself Zhu Xuan's mother is full of white hair, her face is extremely delicate and young, and she is only in her twenties, which may be well maintained, otherwise she will not be his mother's relatives no matter how it is counted.

"Mother, my son has only been down the mountain for a few days, why won't he come back. The son brought back the snow wolf blood that Master Zen Xin wanted, and she said it would be useful for your illness. ”

Cao Ran had never seen Zhu Xuan so serious and soft, thinking that he would have such a beautiful young mother, could it be his adoptive mother, no, it was his sister.

Noticing that a pair of ghostly eyes behind Zhu Xuan had been looking at herself, Zhu Xuan's mother Luo Ying looked at Cao Ran and asked with a smile, "Who is this girl?" ”

Cao Ran looked at Luo Ying's smiling appearance and could see that she was so beautiful, if she was left in a thousand years, she would definitely be more beautiful than those celebrities and Internet celebrities, such a beautiful face with silver hair looked mysterious and inviolable.

Zhu Xuan covered the quilt on Luo Ying's body and said, "The temple is deserted, my mother needs personal care, I may not be by your side these days, just let her take care of you for me first." ”

The ancient temple was cool, and Zhu Xuan stood alone in front of the corridor looking up at the starry night sky.

"On the night of the waning moon, there are a lot of stars." Cao Ran sat on the crossbar in front of the porch and looked up at him.

Zhu Xuan glanced at her back, in fact, he didn't have to travel thousands of miles to bring her over, he was very relieved that his mother had been taken care of by the host for so many years. He didn't care about what tragic story the bride in the sedan chair had with her, but what she said after she was drunk, coupled with her lonely figure, reminded him of his childhood experience, and he finally did not leave with confidence. When she woke up, she apparently didn't remember anymore.

"If I don't come back after three days, you're free to leave." His voice was cold and emotionless, and he paused for a moment to continue, "Or stay, if you want." ”

Tightening her clothes, Cao Ran continued to look at the starry sky, it made no difference to her whether she went or stayed.
