Chapter 2: Close Encounters
Su Yunlai followed his mother, the second wife of the Su family, Chen, to return to Beijing together, passing by here on the way, just in time for the Shangyuan Festival yesterday, saying that the lamp market is very lively, so he stayed for a day, and stayed in Chenglu Temple at night.
Su Yunlai led him from the back compartment to detour, through the pavilion corridor, and directly to the main hall.
The main hall is a place to worship the Buddha, and there are statues of Arhat King Kong standing on both sides of the main hall, and their faces look particularly hideous at night.
The man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Yunlai, "You let me hide here?" ”
Su Yunlai nodded without hesitation, and then lifted her skirt and was about to climb up to the offering platform, but she was young, not tall, and weak and slender, and tried several times without success.
The man on the side watched in silence, then supported the desk with his hand, jumped slightly, and jumped up easily.
Su Yunlai blinked without changing his face, turned the button on the altar, the Buddha statue shifted a little to the left, and under the Buddha seat, there was a dark grid, the size was just enough to hide a person.
The man glanced at her meaningfully, this young lady who had lived in the boudoir for a long time still knew a lot!
Su Yunlai turned a blind eye to his eyes, but showed an astringent smile, when she ran away in the previous life, she also hid here......
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
"Quick, go inside! Don't miss a corner! ”
Su Yun was taken aback, he didn't expect those people to move so fast and actually find here!
Without waiting for Su Yunlai to think about it, she was thinking about how to deal with it, when her body suddenly became lighter, her first reaction was to cover her mouth and not let her exclamation be heard by the outside, and then the next moment, she fell into a solid embrace.
Su Yunlai was stunned, the clear smell of the young man's body came to her nose, her cheeks turned red all of a sudden, she had never had such intimate contact with a man, even in the previous life, she was ...... It's also out of affection and courtesy.
Su Yunlai instinctively took a step back, but her feet were empty, and a pair of solid arms wrapped around her waist, avoiding the possibility of her intimate contact with the earth.
"Don't make a sound." The man whispered warning in her ear.
Su Yunlai naturally knew that if people found out that the two of them were here, her consequences would definitely not be lighter than his. The man jumped off the dark grid directly with Su Yunlai in his arms, Su Yunlai instinctively climbed on the man, she had never experienced this kind of thing in her previous life and this life, the man reached out and touched the edge of the dark grid, and soon touched a bulge, he tried to twist it, and the big Buddha on it slowly returned to its original position.
As the Buddha closed, the light in the dark compartment suddenly dimmed, and only a light from the vent shone inside.
Su Yunlai glanced at the man with some surprise, she knew the mechanism, because there was only one 'door', but there must be two switches, which could be opened inside and outside, and I didn't know if the man had known that there was a switch inside, or if he had just thought of it.
But thinking that he looked at the Buddha statue mechanism with a surprised face just now, she thought that it should be the latter, and she didn't know who this person was, and he could think so calmly at such a critical juncture.
Su Yunlai was suddenly a little curious about the identity of this man.
Su Yunlai was thinking about the man's identity, and the man was also thinking about her, according to what she said, she was just a boudoir daughter, but she knew the secret path of Chenglu Temple, and she was a girl who had not left the pavilion, and she was not embarrassed to be alone with a man, if she changed to a girl, she was afraid that she would have been scared and screamed when she saw him, let alone take him to avoid pursuit.
I don't know if this girl is bold or frivolous.
Su Yunlai moved quietly, but her cheeks rubbed the soft skin, and she stiffened, and only then did she realize that the two of them were a little close.
She was in his arms at this time, clinging to his chest, and she could even hear his heartbeat.
Su Yunlai wanted to retreat, but the dark grid was such a big place, and there were still two people, which was really a little difficult for this small space.
She furrowed her brow tightly, trying to stiffen herself in the hope of keeping her distance from him, but his warm breath spilled over her ears.
The messy heartbeat was a little obvious in the silent space, and Su Yunlai didn't want to make herself look so embarrassed, so she bit her lip tightly.
The people who chased after him were very cautious, and carefully inspected the entire hall, not even letting go of the Buddha statue, Su Yunlai's heart sank, they came up in a hurry just now, and they didn't know if they would show traces.
This person is really miserable, just in time for the rain today.
Fortunately, the abbot rushed over and stopped the search.
"The government handles the case!" The leader came out with a sign, waved it casually, and put it away.
The leader didn't say his details, only said that it was someone from the government who came to catch a thief, it was a matter of confidentiality, and there was nothing to say, and the monks of Chenglu Temple did not allow it, so the two sides confronted each other.
Chenglu Temple's status in Dayuan is transcendent, when Emperor Taizu fought the world, there was a distress, happened to pass by Chenglu Temple, was rescued by the monks of Chenglu Temple, and escaped.
Later, Emperor Taizu set Chenglu Temple as a national temple, and there were more rules for civil officials to get off the sedan chair and military generals to get off the horse, and even the prince had to abide by the rules of Chenglu Temple when he arrived at Chenglu Temple.
After some negotiation between the abbot and the leader, the leader followed the monks and left.
Su Yunlai waited for a while, and she whispered: "I'm going back too, if my family finds out that I'm missing and makes a fuss, you won't be able to leave." ”
There are thieves in the temple, and the female relatives are lost, and this matter will definitely make a big fuss.
The man silently opened the mechanism, Su Yunlai looked embarrassed, and saw that he had no intention of helping, so he ran out clumsily, and his feet suddenly slipped, but the man reached out and hugged her tightly.
Su Yunlai's face couldn't help showing annoyance, the smile in the man's eyes flashed, and then he wrapped one hand around Su Yunlai's waist, jumped up, and brought the person out and put it on the ground safely.
Su Yunlai breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the man say lightly: "It's not a shame to find someone to help. ”
Su Yunlai was slightly stunned, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Sometimes it's better to rely on others than on yourself. ”
Even the elders and relatives she thought would sell their families for a prosperous future, and she understood that only by herself in the Su family, only if she was strong, would she not be sold for benefits.
The man's expression moved slightly, the little girl, who was not very old, was already full of vicissitudes, and a touch of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
"I'm going back first, you can stay here first." After Su Yun finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out, and carefully looked to see if there was anyone outside.
