Chapter 124: Jin Xiaolou is trapped in Bogu Temple
Jin Xiaolou took the box with the wedding dress, returned to Luer Lane, and just entered the door and was about to call Gui Zhi to try it, but saw Lu Yun crying in the house and her eyes swollen into a pair of peaches.
Ruyue was also anxious, and when she saw Jin Xiaolou coming back, she hurriedly ran over, and without saying a word, she stuffed a ball of paper into Jin Xiaolou's hand.
"Lin'er is gone, Gui Zhi went out to look for it, but he walked for a long time and didn't see anyone back, and he was worried, when someone shot an arrow at our gate, and the arrow carried this note."
After hearing the words, Jin Xiaolou's heart went up and down, and he opened the note, and only two lines of small words were written on it: "If Guizhi is safe, come to Qishan Taibo Ancient Temple quickly." ”
"Bogu Temple?" Jin Xiaolou was worried about Guizhi's safety and Lin'er, but he had never heard of where this Qishan Taibo Ancient Temple was.
Guo Ruyue nodded: "Qishantai is far away from Xinning, and it takes three days to travel by carriage, but it is very close to the Wuli River, and it will be there in half a day if it is fast." ”
Lu Yun clenched his hands: "Isn't that on the edge of the battlefield, this, this is too dangerous!" Let's report to the police! ”
"Lu Yun is right, although I don't know what the intentions of the people who kidnapped Gui Zhi and Lin'er are, but it must be in crisis, and you can't go to the shopkeeper!" Guo Ruyue hurriedly agreed.
Jin Xiaolou pinched the paper ball and said in a deep voice: "Even if it is a trap, I have to go, since that person sent a note, he thinks that our every move is under his nose, and he rashly reports to the official, but I am afraid of ......"
Jin Xiaolou didn't dare to continue, nothing was more important than the lives of Gui Zhi and Lin'er.
Even if she had to fight for her own life, she was willing.
Jin Xiaolou handed the box containing the wedding dress to Guo Ruyue, "Store it well, I'll pick her up now and try on the new wedding dress!" ”
"Shopkeeper!" Lu Yun grabbed her, "If you have to go, then let me go with you, how can I take care of it." ”
Jin Xiaolou shook his head and smiled, turned around and left.
One more person is more dangerous, and she doesn't want to trap Lu Yun in it.
When he went out, Jin Xiaolou picked up the clods on the ground and wiped his face, and took out a handkerchief to cover his head, and then went to find the carriage in the city.
She is still a suspect, and she can't go out of Xinning at will without the amnesty of the county magistrate.
Therefore, I had to disguise myself.
It's just that Jin Xiaolou asked almost all the coachmen, but no one was willing to go in the direction of the Wuli River.
"There's a war over there! Which one doesn't want to go there to do business? When the coachman heard Jin Xiaolou's destination, he shook his head again and again, and no one even went to triple the price.
Helpless, Jin Xiaolou had no choice but to pay for a fast horse.
She can't ride a horse, but she always holds the horse's neck and doesn't let go, the horse goes faster than the carriage, and the three-day horse city journey only takes a day and a half.
Riding on the back of the horse, with a whip, Jin Xiaolou hugged the horse's neck, let the horse gallop and bumpy, just raised his little face to look at the direction of the sunset.
The Wuli River is in the south, as long as you let the sunset covered with Jinxia in your right hand, it is convenient.
Jin Xiaolou went all the way south from Xinning, and when he met a pedestrian, he grabbed the reins and stopped the horse to ask the pedestrian for directions. In this way, Jin Xiaolou learned a little equestrianism, and he was more comfortable sitting on horseback.
It was the evening of the second day when I arrived at Deqi Mountain Terrace, and the sunset was more gorgeous than when I left Xinning.
Bogu Temple is hidden behind a row of camphor trees, and the old house tiles glow red in the light of the setting sun.
The temple has been uninhabited for a long time, with artemisia grass overgrown among the tiles and moss on the steps.
The red lacquered wooden door has been broken by many winds and rains, and the wooden pillars next to the door have also fallen into disgrace.
I didn't feel it when I rode on the horse, and as soon as I got off the horse, Jin Xiaolou's legs were so weak that he almost knelt down, and he collapsed and felt numb in pain with his inner thighs, and he could barely straighten his waist.
He stumbled two steps and quickly sat down on the bluestone on the side of the road.
It's just that the buttocks haven't been hot yet, and a person suddenly appeared behind him, pinching Jin Xiaolou's neck with one hand, and holding a stinky handkerchief with the other hand and pressing it directly to Jin Xiaolou's mouth and nose.
Jin Xiaolou subconsciously reached out to pinch the man's leg, almost using his strength to eat, pinching his fingers, but he just wouldn't let go.
I haven't seen Gui Zhi and Lin'er yet, so I can't just fall here.
But the more I struggled, the more powerless I became.
After a while, Jin Xiaolou felt that his eyes were black, his body was getting lighter and lighter, as if he was about to float up, and then his eyes closed and he completely lost consciousness.
……
Gui Zhi waited in the cabin for a long time with Lin'er in his arms, and saw that the sky was about to get dark, and the tea and fruits of the subordinates were on again and again, but he couldn't see the face of the fifth master.
She was a little anxious, lifted the curtain and went outside, and saw Chixiao before she took two steps.
Hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Chixiao, if the fifth master has something, I should go back first, next time the fifth master is free, I will definitely thank him." ”
The man smiled: "Miss Guizhi, I am Chixiao's brother Qinghong, you wait a minute, the fifth master will not be able to pull away for a while if he has something important, he specially instructed you to stay for dinner." ”
Gui Zhi was stunned, he never thought that Chixiao actually had an elder brother who looked so similar.
Qinghong beckoned as she spoke, and ordered the people below to hurry up and prepare: "There is roe deer meat tonight, which was specially hunted in the forest by the fifth master the day before yesterday, don't let down his good intentions." ”
couldn't push it, Gui Zhi had to stay in the cabin, finished dinner, and was pulled by Qinghong to gossip for a long time, and then got off the boat and went back in a soft sedan car.
As soon as I got off the sedan chair, I saw that the door of the house was wide open, and Lu Yun stood at the door, and when I saw Gui Zhi from a distance, I cried and laughed, and I rushed over.
looked at Lin'er, then at Guizhi, pulled her around and circled, and couldn't stop sighing: "Guizhi, you're fine!" You're back! That's nice! What an eye-opener! ”
Gui Zhi smiled ashamedly: "It's ...... make you anxious."
Before the words fell, he heard Lu Yun say again: "What about the shopkeeper and Zhou Shuli?" ”
"Xiaolou? Book ceremony? "Katsura Zhi is a little strange," I ...... I didn't see them, did I? ”
"How so!" Lu Yun's face changed greatly, "They are all looking for you!" Xiaolou has been gone for a while, Zhou Shuli has just left, we don't let Zhou Shuli go, but he seems to be crazy, he can't pull it, and he wants to save you desperately! ”
"Help me?!" The more Gui Zhi listened, the more strange he became, "I'm so alive, why do you want to save me?" ”
Lu Yun stomped his feet: "What's going on, what a mess!" ”
As he spoke, he took out the note that had been crumpled by Jin Xiaolou before: "Look at it, what is going on?" ”
Gui Zhi unfolded the note, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became: "Trick, this is a trick!" I'm here with a good look, where did I go to this Bogu Temple! ”
"Report to the official, hurry up and report to the official, Xiaolou and Shuli are in danger." Gui Zhi said and handed Lin'er into Lu Yun's hands, "You said Zhou Shuli just left?" ”
Lu Yun nodded: "It's just a moment's work, I'm afraid I haven't left Xinning City yet." ”
"I'm going to chase him!" Gui Zhi turned his head and left.
Lu Yun was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and hurriedly hugged Lin'er into the house to find the situation Ruyue.
……
After a long period of nothingness, transitioning into a blank darkness, Jin Xiaolou's mouth was dry, and his ears were buzzing.
It took a long time to barely open my eyes, and my eyes were blurry and I couldn't see anything clearly.
I only felt that my hands and feet were swollen and painful, and I wanted to move, but suddenly I found that something seemed to be tightly restraining me.
opened his mouth, and his mouth was also stuffed with a hemp pit.
For a while, he couldn't move, and he couldn't speak, only a pair of ears and a pair of eyes remained.
It's just that the roar in my ears doesn't stop, and my eyes are blurry again.
This unsteady feeling made Jin Xiaolou break out in a cold sweat with fear, his heart beat faster than ever, and he could barely breathe.
She was like a person trapped in a swamp, waiting to die alone.
After being scared, calm, and exhausted and drowsy, there was a loud bang.
Jin Xiaolou came to his senses and opened his eyes again in the dark.
The noise seemed to be coming from in front of her, but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't see anything.
"Guizhi?"
A familiar voice sounded.
"Guizhi, are you there? Cinnamon branches? I'm here to save you! ”
The words fell, and the candlelight lit up.
Only then did Jin Xiaolou see clearly, he didn't know what was being contained in it, there were only two small round holes the size of jujube kernels in front of him, and through the round holes, he could see that Zhou Shuli was standing in the middle of a wide room with a candle, looking around while walking inside.
Jin Xiaolou wanted to move to let Zhou Shuli hear him, but his whole body was like he didn't obey him.
