"Hui Niang, why were you arrested too? What about Mingyang? Du Ruo asked strangely.

"I've been restless lately, I've always had nightmares, and I'm going to stay in the temple for a few days, but Ming Yang went back, who knows......" Before she finished speaking, she burst into tears and wiped it with her sleeve.

Du Ruo patted her on the back, which counted as comfort.

She glanced around, and found that the room where they were locked up was tight, not even a window, the jade pagoda is a famous high-rise building in Qingyang Temple, with eighteen floors, Du Rulan's memory is there.

"Cry what cry! Save a little effort and live longer! A woman said in a vicious voice.

Su Huiniang immediately stopped crying, she seemed to be very afraid, and she was a little more relieved when she saw Du Rulan.

"How long have you been locked up here?" Du Ruo looked at the others.

The women sat or lay quietly, and no one paid attention to her.

"Will anyone come here? Like delivering food or something? When will it come? She asked again.

Still no one paid attention to her.

After a while, a woman suddenly covered her face and cried, her body trembled slightly, the hem of her skirt was torn in several places, her skin was pale, but her arms were bruised and swollen, leaning weakly against the wall, and muttering, "Those monks...... Every time you come, you take someone away...... Used to vent desire...... We...... We...... It's impossible to get out alive......"

Another woman also wept silently, "If I can jump from here, I will jump......

"Humph! Didn't you just die the day before yesterday?! Are you still too long-lived? Maybe it'll be your turn in a moment! The cold-spoken woman said again.

Everyone stopped talking, hugging their knees in a daze.

Du Ruo sat back and asked Su Huiniang about something.

It turned out that when they arrived at Qingyang Temple, Su Mingyang sent Su Huiniang into the temple, and as usual, donated sesame oil money, walked around the temple and left. Su Huiniang religiously burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, and entered the apse to ask for a hexagram, who knew that she was covered by the monk and fainted, and she was here after waking up.

Listening to the woman's words, Su Huiniang was even more frightened in her heart, since she was a child, her father and mother had never been hurt, but she suddenly encountered such a thing.

"Don't cry, it's useless to cry, maybe someone will come, let's all think of a way." Du Ruo said again.

"Rulan, what should we do......" Su Huiniang grabbed her clothes, and Du Rulan's appearance made her feel as if Du Rulan had become her last straw.

She had obviously seen Du Rulan's slapping appearance, once Du Shi picked up eggs on the grass pile in front of someone's house, others were chasing, she ran, and stopped from time to time to scold a few words, put her hands on her waist, jumped three feet high, and spit flew sideways.

Another time was when Granny Cai said that she was greedy and ate Song Ju'an's share of food, and Granny Cai chased her for half of the village with a burning stick.

People call her 'Sao Fox' behind their backs, because Du Rulan will scratch her head and pose when she beats the men who have passed in front of the Song family, throwing flattering eyes, asking if she can drink a bowl of water at home, and she also pulls with the men in the village on weekdays.

Everyone said that Du had already set his sights on Song Ju'an, hooked up in every possible way, and deliberately walked naked in front of Song Ju'an......

Thinking of Song Ju'an, Hui Niang's eyes dimmed, no one can compare to him with such a man.

She secretly glanced at Du Rulan and found that Du Rulan didn't know when she stood up and walked around the room.

"There's a small window here, for ventilation." Du Ruo removed the debris next to him and squatted down.

The light also came in through this window, and the wooden window was nailed to one side firmly, one foot from the floor, which could have been opened and closed, but it was about a long time, rusty, and could not be pushed away, and the light through the window was a little dazzling. She leaned on the window and took a look, and found that she was high in the sky, connected with the white clouds, and the beautiful scenery of Qingyang Temple fell into her eyes.

Hui Niang hurriedly walked over and squatted down to take a look.

Du Ruo leaned on the wall with one hand and kicked the window with his foot, but he didn't kick it away.

"Rulan, do you want to climb out of here?" Hui Niang asked.

Du Ruo looked down again, can you climb out from here...... She's just going to kick it.

The woman with a cold tone said again, "Do you know that we are on the top floor of the Jade Buddha Hall!" It's not your earthen wall, climb out and fall into a mess, maybe it will alarm the pilgrims below, and someone will come up to check it! Then we will be saved! ”

Everyone looked at Du Ruo's side, as if there was a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

In order to prevent the window from opening and someone going crazy and pushing people down, Du Ruo hurriedly said to everyone seriously: "This method is not possible, you think, we are missing, and no one suspects the heads of these bald donkeys, it can be seen that they may collude with the government!" Besides, they locked the tower gate above, who knows from which floor the person fell, didn't he die in vain?! ”

Everyone was silent again.

"I was caught here on my way home!" A woman said suddenly.

"Me too!"

"Me too...... It's almost home......" bowed his head and cried.

"When I came to the temple to burn incense, my husband was waiting for me nearby, I was in a hurry, and as soon as I got out of the temple gate, I was knocked out by them as soon as I arrived at a place where there was no one!"

"How did they get us to the temple and then to the tower?" Du Ruo was very puzzled.

She and Hui Niang, in broad daylight, want to avoid people's eyes and ears, and there are pilgrims in the temple, is it possible that there is a tunnel dug underneath? However, as far as she knows, pilgrims are also allowed to enter the Emerald Pagoda during the day.

"They were carried in water tanks, and they loaded people into water tanks and brought them in." After saying that, her eyes became frightened and sad again, "They just tortured a woman to death two days ago, and they died here. She glanced quickly somewhere, "Two monks loaded her body into a water tank and carried it down......"

Hui Niang shuddered, and her lips turned white instantly.

Du Ruo was also shocked.

Where is this place to practice Buddhism and chant scriptures, it is clearly an adultery under the guise of a temple!

I thought it was full of gods and Buddhas, but it was hell!

Du Ruo walked to the door that was chained, shook for a while, turned around and asked: "I was deceived by a monk named Zhenguang, and I wanted to do wrong to me, and today Wuxian ordered to bring people to the temple!" Otherwise, I'll ......," she wanted to say, or she would have succeeded, but then she thought about it, hadn't she escaped yet?

Several women didn't react much, as if they didn't have any hope for the arrival of Wu Dajiang.

"None of the monks in this temple are good!" A woman said with a fierce expression.

"Master Zhenluo is a good person." The other woman whispered.

Du Ruo glanced at a few people and said, "I don't know much about Qingyang Temple. ”

The woman who spoke in a bad tone spoke at this time: "I was also given by Zhenguang...... Hum! Zhenluo and Zhenguang are brothers, often for the position of the host of the open and secret fight, people think that Master Jingyuan will choose one of the two to do the temple host, a year ago, a monk fled to the temple, Master Jingyuan accepted him as a disciple, named Zhenfeng, at first he was arrogant and did not follow the temple law, but I don't know why he slowly began to concentrate on cultivating Buddhism, wholeheartedly good, did a lot of good things, everyone is also very grateful to him, since he took over the presiding position, the incense in the temple is more vigorous than before, I think...... Zhenfeng became the host, Zhenguang was not convinced, he had no Buddha heart, and he did a lot of evil behind his back! ”

Du Ruo sighed: "I thought that only the robbers of Sanqing Mountain were hateful, but I didn't expect the monks in the temple to be even more hateful!" A few of us are missing, and people think they did it by robbers! It made the robbers carry the black cauldron. ”

Several people fell silent again.

Born hopeless, Du Shi is missing, the Song family should be very happy, right?

Song Ju'an couldn't see the annoying Du Shi, it was a surprise for him! Maybe he will marry a new wife soon.

Du Ruo sneered, raised his foot and continued to kick at the window.

She is a person who refuses to give up as long as she seizes the slightest opportunity.

Half an hour later, the nail came loose and with a thud, she kicked the window open.

She lay down in front of her and quietly probed out, and Huiniang immediately grabbed her clothes nervously: "Rulan, be careful not to fall!" ”

Du Ruo grabbed the edge of the window with her hand, looked down, the jade pagoda was wooden, each floor was not too high, she looked down and could see the window of the next floor, and at the bottom was the little man moved by ants, looking up, there were still several floors above.

Those monks hid people on the tower, even if the yamen suspected Qingyang Temple and sent people to search the temple, they would never climb to the top to search.

She retracted her head and looked around the room, but she didn't see half a rope, she didn't know if the window below could be pushed open, and she wanted to give it a try.

"I need a rope, I want to climb out of here and down to the next floor!" Du Ruo said to a few humanitarians.

Everyone looked at her in shock.

The eyes of several people began to search the room.

"Is the clothes you're wearing okay?" A woman muttered.

Du Ruo nodded hurriedly.

Hui Niang was also shocked by her thoughts, and hurriedly stopped: "Rulan, no, the tower is so high, if you fall, you will die!" ”

"Staying here is death anyway, how do you know if you don't try? If I succeed, everyone will be saved! Du Ruo said firmly.

Everyone seemed to find strength and hope because of her words, and since they could not find the rope, they tore off the hem of their skirts, and some of them tore off the sleeves as well, and brought them and tied them together to form a strong rope.

After doing this, everyone waited silently for the dawn to come.

Du Ruo stretched the strip of cloth, believing that it could fully bear its own weight. To be honest, she has lost a lot of weight these days, probably because she was embarrassed to eat it after she became Du Ruolan.

"Rulan, just in case...... I'm afraid ......," Hui Niang worried.

Du Ruo smiled: "Don't be afraid, in fact, I'm also afraid, but what if I go out?" If we sit and wait, no one will come to our rescue, will we? ”

Hui Niang listened to her words, and her eyes were full of tears.

"Rulan, you've changed." She said again.

"People always change."

"Brother Ju An, if he can't find you, he must be very anxious."

Du Ruo pinned his hair behind his ears, and a sarcastic smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, I still want to give him a white and chubby child!" I can't do it if I'm dead! But she said 'bah' twice in her heart.

The sun was setting in the west, and the light in the room was getting dimmer.

Du Ruo looked at the window and said to a few people: "Just now!" It was so far from the ground that the people below couldn't see clearly. ”

Everyone looked at each other, grabbed one end of the rope, and tried their best to hide the excitement in their hearts.

Du Ruo tied the rope around his waist and slowly leaned out, several people grabbed the rope tightly and slowly lowered it, and as he descended, Du Ruo's eyes finally appeared in front of the small breathable window on the lower floor.

She grabbed the wooden board next to her with one hand, and pulled the window with the other hand, but she didn't expect the small window to be easily opened by her.

Du Ruo was overjoyed, grabbed the window with both hands and slowly climbed in, pulled the rope, and the people above knew that she had succeeded, so they let go of the rope.

There were dusty old scriptures piled up in this floor, and she squatted there and listened to the movement outside for a while, and then slowly walked to the door, quietly opened the door and walked out.

Walking down the stairs, Du Ruo's heart beat like thunder, and his palms were sweaty, first, he couldn't believe that he had succeeded, and second, he was afraid that there was a monk above, or he would meet a monk in the process of going downstairs.

After going down the fifth floor in a row, she didn't meet anyone, and she quickened her pace, suppressing the complicated emotions in her heart.

As she walked, she stopped suddenly, and she didn't know which floor she had descended on, and there was a voice from below. She opened the door next to her and flashed in, leaned on the small window and looked out, and found that it was already very low from the ground, and she was on the fourth floor of the stupa.

It was completely dark outside, and the pilgrims had already gone, so it should be the monk who was talking below, and if someone went up at this hour to find that she was missing, they would definitely go down to look for her.

After a while, the voice below was still there, Du Ruo took a deep breath, tiptoed down the stairs, and when he reached the third floor, his voice was clearer, and there were two monks chatting below.

She felt her hair stand on end, and she dared to continue to go down step by step, and finally reached the second floor, where she stood around the corner, sweating all over her head, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Can't go any further.

I don't know if there is anyone in the room on the second floor, Du Ruo stood outside the door, grabbed the lock with both hands and quietly pulled out, through the crack in the door, she saw that everything in the room was in the faint light, and there was a monk sleeping on the table.

At such a tense moment, she actually calmed down.

She can't deal with a single monk, not to mention that there are two more below, she can't take risks.

Du Ruo wiped a handful of sweat, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times, and quickly turned around and walked upstairs.

She hid in the dark around the corner of the third floor, and heard the door open on the second floor, "Who?" The monk in the room yawned and asked, and when he saw that there was no one outside, he closed the door again with a mumble to himself.

After a moment of silence, Du Ruo did the same as last time.

The monk came out and touched his bare head, and said angrily, "Who is making fun of me?" With that, he walked downstairs.

Du Ruo hurriedly entered the room on the second floor, closed the door, and opened the small window to see that it was about four meters above the ground, and it was a little dangerous to jump down. She took out the rope she was carrying and tied it to the edge of the window, and climbed out cautiously, and when she grabbed the rope and was about to fall, the door was pushed open, and the monk returned.

Du Ruo grabbed the rope and slid down, and soon reached the ground, probably because the rope was pulled too tightly, the window was stretched outward, and as soon as she let go, the small window popped back and made a sound.

Now it's going to be discovered!

Du Ruo turned around and ran, but as soon as she ran not far away, she found two rows of monks walking towards her, and the monk with the lantern on the head seemed to be Zhenguang.

She immediately turned her head and ran in the other direction, and the monks behind her quickly chased in her direction.

Du Ruo walked around, hiding in Tibet, and didn't know where she was, bent on getting rid of them, but those monks were familiar with the way, always looking for a shortcut, and suddenly came out of the side, and several times she was almost caught, and they were getting closer and closer to her.

Tonight is doomed.

She saw a man in front of her bypassing the corridor and walking into the wide courtyard, with his hands behind his back, as if he were taking a leisurely walk in the courtyard, perhaps borrowing from the pilgrims who lived in the temple.

After hesitating for a second, she ran towards the man, and when she got to him, she said, 'Help me! She grabbed his arm and begged, only to find out that he was Song Ju'an!

He's all the way here to find her?! It seems that Song Ju'an didn't ignore her after she disappeared!

For no reason, she had a sense of the rest of her life, and her heart was full of gratitude.

Although Song Ju'an is unreliable, he can't be said to be bad for women.

Song Ju'an was also very surprised when he saw her appear in front of him, and asked, "...... What happened? ”

She gasped for breath and calmed down a little, but her body still kept shaking, grabbed his sleeve, and said in a panic: "I was locked up by them!" Jade Pagoda! They're coming after you! Save me! ”

Song Ju'an could feel her body trembling because of fear, and her eyes were flustered and weak that he had never seen before, as if they were ...... A little distressing?

He raised a hand and hesitated, but patted her on the back as a sign of comfort, his dark gaze falling on the monks who were chasing after her.

Du Ruo suddenly remembered his many dislikes for Song Ju'an on weekdays, and now he was almost held in his arms, and he responded very much, and hurriedly let go of his arm and separated him from him for some distance.

The monks chased after them and quickly surrounded them.

"What the hell is going on?" Song Ju'an asked them.

"Arrest her!" Zhenguang's face was grim, and he waved his sleeves and said loudly.

The monks immediately stepped forward to arrest her, Du Ruo hurriedly hid behind Song Ju'an, and at this time, the nearby catchers who were enjoying the cool heard the movement here and quickly rushed over with their knives.

"Don't come here!!" Du Ruo angrily reprimanded these monks.

"What did she do? Why can't you get along with a woman? Song Ju'an asked in a cold voice.

Zhenguang flicked his sleeves and stepped forward, stared at Du Ruo, sneered three times, and said to Song Ju'an: "Mr. Song, it was this woman who stole in the temple during the day, and later set fire to the meditation room!" The monks were merciful, did not endanger people's lives, did not embarrass her, did not report to the officials, who knew that she was still hiding in the temple and taking advantage of the darkness to steal, and was hit by someone! I'm going to get her out of the temple now! ”

"You talk nonsense! These are all false accusations! You tricked me into going to the backyard meditation room with the intention of doing me wrong, and I escaped from the room and was caught and locked up by you! ”

She really didn't know how the bald donkey said those words!

After listening to the conversation between the two, the catchers were stunned one by one, and their jaws were about to drop.

"Catch her!" Mahiro ordered again.

At the same time, Du Ruo watched Song Ju'an take seven or eight steps back, away from her, and pointed at her and said loudly: "Catch her!" ”

Du Ruo was suddenly held down by the two catchers.

"Song Ju'an! You! She looked at Song Ju'an with wide eyes and disbelief.

Song Ju'an glanced at her expressionlessly, and said to Zhenguang: "I also know about the temple on fire, how can she let her leave so cheaply?!" Master Zhenguang rest assured, Lord Wu will definitely uphold justice for Qingyang Temple, it's late today, presumably Lord Wu is also resting, first lock up the Du family! Dispose of it tomorrow! ”

"Song Ju'an! Why are you arresting me? I'm going to report to the police! Du Ruo yelled at Song Ju'an angrily, but had to be dragged away.
