A dark hole in the floor was revealed.

The entrance to the cave is so narrow that only petite women and children can pass through.

If you were an adult man, even if you were thin, you might not be able to get into that hole.

Ruan Si was shocked in her heart, and she wanted to call someone, but after thinking about it, no one might be able to hear her shouting when she broke her throat.

The entrance to the cave was faintly smelling of earth.

If there is wind, there must be an outlet.

Ruan Si touched the purse on his body, and there was a silver needle in it.

This is when Lian Yu came to detain her yesterday, she used the excuse of going back to the house to change her clothes, and quietly put it in her purse as a secret weapon.

She crouched down at the entrance of the cave and looked in, faintly seeing a faint glow of fire.

There is light.

Then she will be able to breathe as usual when she goes down.

Ruan Si hesitated for a moment, took out the gold bracelet that Yan Yingzhou gave her from her arms, and left the bracelet at the entrance of the cave.

In the next moment, she slipped through the hole into a tunnel.

The tunnel was narrow enough for one person to pass through.

Several grooves were carved into the wall next to the tunnel, and in the recesses were oil lamps that were always lit.

The wind came out of the tunnel ahead, with a slightly moist earthy smell, which made her cheeks and neck cold.

Where is the exit?

Ruan Si picked up a few silver needles and cautiously walked against the wall.

After walking a few hundred steps, the tunnel gradually became wider.

She has also gradually adapted to the dim environment, and her hearing seems to be much sharper.

Knock knock, knock ......

The layer of soil above his head seemed to be thinner, and from time to time there was a dull sound of footsteps, and the soft dust fell in a clump of dust.

There is an exit ahead.

Ruan Si covered his mouth and nose and hid under the wooden plank at the exit.

Occasionally, there were a few human voices or the sound of clanging footsteps from above.

She struggled to make out the voices, only to think that there were at least two or three people in the room above.

"It's better to wait."

She blew out the oil lamp in the doorway and hid in the shadows, patiently waiting for the sound to die out completely.

I don't know how long it took for the movement above to stop.

Ruan Si slowly moved his stiff ankles and wrists.

Just by looking at it, she didn't have to be in danger......

The wooden plank that covered the exit was close at hand, Ruan Si didn't think much about it, and reached out and gently pushed the door open.

She emerged from the hole in the ground.

It was a very ordinary inner room.

There is a Buddhist shrine in the inner room, and the curtain in front of the Buddhist altar is lowered to cover the Buddha statue inside.

Ruan Si looked around and didn't find anything unusual.

But she stared at the Buddhist altar, unable to take her eyes off the empty curtains.

Don't stay in the Buddha?

Once this thought was born, it was like a barbed vine, tormenting her and urging her to unravel the mystery once and for all.

She was startled by the conjecture, but the hand couldn't help but lift the curtain.

Inside is an ordinary Buddha statue.

Ruan Si was a little disappointed, and was about to go into the hole when he turned around, when he suddenly peeked from the side that the back of the Buddha statue seemed to be protruding.

"Like, there's still a face?"

Her heart tightened, and after covering the entrance of the cave, she walked back to the Buddha shrine and stretched out her hand to turn the lotus base of the Buddha statue.

"Click! Click......"

The base of the Buddha statue makes an intermittent sound.

Ruan Si's heart rose to her throat, and when the Buddha statue was completely turned, she saw a statue of a man.

The man's face looked like he was middle-aged, with heavy eyes and slight beards, and he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe!

She was so startled that she almost fell to the ground.

Who is this temple dedicated to, is it holy today?

But before she could guess, there was a noisy sound of footsteps at the door, "Who's in there?" ”

As soon as Ruan Si put down the curtain of the Buddhist shrine, the guards outside kicked open the door and broke in.

In the midst of the electric light and stone fire, she extinguished the candle flame, and the silver needle in her hand was sent out at the same time.

The guards were armed with torches, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw more than a dozen hidden weapons coming at them.

Everyone drew their knives to block, and the silver needles hit the blades with a ping-pong sound, and some people were stabbed and fell to the ground before they could dodge.

She took advantage of the chaos and rolled out of the room.

Outside the door was a courtyard, and she ran towards the wall by the faint moonlight.

The wall is not high, as long as she steps on the branches next to the wall and climbs out......

"Ugh!"

Ruan Si didn't notice that someone was approaching, and then slapped her the back.

The internal organs suddenly suffered from severe pain.

Her throat was sweet, and she endured the pain, and threw a handful of silver needles back, quickly forcing the man back.

In the next moment, her eyes went black and she fell from the wall.

The last thing she smelled before she fell unconscious was a wisp of osmanthus flowers......

Tonight, too, is a nightmare for Hong Aya.

Mrs. Jiang chatted with Aunt Hong after dinner, chatted back and forth, and finally talked about the affairs of her children.

"I'm the one who likes these two nieces the most, especially Aya'er."

Mrs. Jiang gave her a golden hairpin, and ordered the maid to put it on her on the spot, praising Hong Aya's young beauty and love.

Hong Aya was confused, and subconsciously touched the forehead in front of her forehead.

"Isn't the wound on Aya'er's forehead healed yet?"

When Mrs. Jiang asked, Aunt Hong hurriedly replied: "The scab that formed a few days ago has fallen off, and there is still a pale red mark that has not faded." ”

"It's okay, I'll let people go to the capital to buy some scar ointment."

As she spoke, she smiled and took Hong Aya's hand.

"Aya'er's skin is snowy, it would be a pity if she had a scar on her face. Besides, when you get married in the future, will it be difficult to wear a wipe of your forehead to the church? ”

Hong Aya was a little embarrassed by her, withdrew her hand and said straightforwardly: "Aunt said that she was laughing, Aya is not married yet." ”

"This child," Mrs. Jiang smiled meaningfully, "the eldest woman is not staying, sister, do you say yes?" ”

Aunt Hong's face changed, and she said with a smile: "What my sister said is that it's just that Aya'er is already married, and I can't bear Aya'er's child, and I want to stay for a few more years." ”

"Hey, how can there be a daughter who doesn't marry?"

In the candlelight, Mrs. Jiang's smiling face made Hong Aya's back chill.

"I know that my sister is reluctant to give up Aya'er, so why don't I promise her to my family Cong'er, how about our two families kiss each other?"

Aunt Hong and Hong Aya were both stunned.

Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "Aya'er has lived in the Jiang family for so many years, and she has a deep relationship with Cong'er, and it can't be compared to others." ”

Hong Aya was dumbfounded.

For so many years, the two have not spoken a few words, where does the relationship come from?

"Aya'er is beautiful and lively, and I like her very much."

Mrs. Jiang glanced at Aunt Hong and said with a smile: "Do you think, if you marry her into another family, how can there be such a good mother-in-law?" ”

Aunt Hong's face turned pale, and she could only barely smile.

After Hong Xuan married Jiang Song, she posted a lot of property to the son-in-law, but Hong Xuan still came to the door from time to time to complain.

Jiang Song is still a timid and cowardly person, and her youngest daughter is so unbearable.

Replaced Jiang Cong, a belly of flowery intestines, Hong Aya married a rectum, and sooner or later she will be eaten to the scum.

But she has been under the fence for many years, and she can't say a word of refusal.

Hong Aya said: "Cousin Cong doesn't like me like this, so it's better for my aunt to tell him a lady from an official family." ”

Mrs. Jiang's eyes flashed, and she smirked: "Silly boy, you are from a businessman's family, and you can only marry a mud-legged or a merchant in the future." ”

"Auntie, this is for your good, I can't bear to see you being humiliated, so I want you to stay in the Jiang family and be a decent aunt."

Aunt Hong was stunned and muttered, "...... Auntie, aunt? ”

The smile on Mrs. Jiang's face became more and more kind.

"My good sister, it's not aggrieved to let Aya'er be a concubine for Cong'er, right?"
