Chapter 51: Exploring the West Window
After the next day, Lin Yun'er looked at the mountains and forests that had been baptized by the rain last night and was particularly refreshing and fresh, she had not breathed such a fresh and pleasant air for a long time, and the mountains not far away were surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it was a fairyland on earth, but no one would have thought that there was a murderous motive hidden in such a fairyland on earth.
She planned to go to Shitai's meditation room to have a look, and eat by the way.
Shitai's body had already been collected, and Qianniuwei had bought a coffin from nowhere and placed it in the hall in the front yard, and at this time there were several Qianniuwei guarding the door of the meditation room.
Xu was the acquiescence of the saint, or maybe it was Huang Yu's relationship, when Lin Wan'er wanted to step in, they actually dodged and gave way.
This meditation room is very large, there are two rooms inside and outside, and the teacher is in the outer room when he tastes tea and participates in meditation on weekdays, and the inner room is the couch where the teacher rests, as well as some private things.
Lin Yun'er, as usual, bowed three times in front of the incense case outside, and there was a string of Buddha beads on the incense case, which Linghui held in his hand on weekdays. Lin Yun'er reached out and pinched it in her hand, this Buddha bead is the size of a thumb, roughly counted, a total of eighteen, the grains are full and smooth, and there are bursts of sandalwood.
All the furnishings in the meditation room have not been touched, they are exactly the same as what Lin Yun'er saw that day, Linghui is sitting on the futon where she is kneeling at this time to meditate and participate in meditation, and even the furnishings have not changed in the slightest. Could it be that Linghui is also like the abbot of the clouds, calmly going to death?
She pinched the Buddha beads and got up, walked to the west window, no one talked about Bashan, why cut the candle in the west window, why cut the candles in the west window, but when it rained at night in Bashan, this is a poem about missing, Lin Yuner remembered that the emotion in Linghui's eyes when she said this was longing and sadness. But I don't know who Linghui was thinking about at that time.
The windows that had not been opened for a long time were covered with dust and cobwebs, and it looked like no one had entered, and the front door of the meditation room was locked from the inside out, even if the murderer did not come in from here, he should have gone out from here.
Lin Yun'er looked out the window, this is the scenery of the back mountain, the bamboo grows on the slightly raised soil slope, and the soil slope is covered by the yellow leaves of the bamboo, and there is no trace at all. It's seamless.
Suddenly, Lin Yun'er's eyes froze, and there seemed to be a road at the end of the bamboo forest, but because it was too far, Lin Yun'er only saw it in a trance.
Xiu frowned slightly, she hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to find Ziwei, "Girl, where did you find the jasmine that day?" ”
Ziwei was asked by Lin Yun'er, and paused the movement in her hand, "Lady, don't you forget?" The slave and maid also took the lady through the path. ”
Lin Wan'er immediately changed her sandals, found a pair of thick-soled silk shoes and put them on, and said, "Take me there again." ”
It rained last night, although there is some sun today, but the strong light is not big, but walking in the forest, it is inevitable to cause a wet damp, Ziwei hurriedly copied an umbrella from under the eaves and followed.
The bluestone road section is full of falling bamboo leaves, if you don't look carefully, you don't know that there will be a road here, the breeze blows for a while, and the forest is in a light rain, Ziwei hurriedly opened the umbrella in her hand and put it on Lin Yun'er's head, "Lady, it has just rained now, and the bamboo leaves are full of dew, and the lady is already cold, and then affected by the dew, then she is going to be sick." ”
Lin Wan'er turned around and gave her a warm smile, "I just want to help Aya and A-Ling." ”
In later life, she always felt that someone was protecting her, and she could always be carefree and happy, but in the end it was useless, and since she was left behind, she had to rely on herself if she wanted to survive. People can't be protected all their lives.
She smiled lightly and moved forward step by step, observing the situation around her step by step.
The bluestone road is still the bluestone road, there has been no change, it rained last night, and I am afraid that many important clues have been washed away.
After walking a few more steps, they walked to the place where they found jasmine that day, but the loess was still there and the flowers were gone, looking at the color of the soil, the flowers seemed to have been dug up for a long time, Lin Yun'er stood still in front of the flowers, and there was no way forward a few dozen steps, but the sound of water could still be faintly heard.
"Girl, is there really no spring around?" Lin Wan'er asked again.
Ziwei also stood still, just now she had already looked around carefully, only hearing the shallow sound of water, but she really didn't see the spring stream.
Lin Wan'er walked a few dozen steps further along this road, and there was a bush in front of her, surrounded by a small patch of reeds, and then looking ahead, there was a deep forest, and there was no road in it. Lin Yun'er wanted to take another step, but was firmly pulled by Ziwei, "Lady, there is no way ahead." ”
Lin Yun'er motioned for Ziwei to accept the umbrella, and she took the wooden umbrella bone and knocked it into the bushes, "Since someone has taken care of Jasmine here, then there must be a way to go, Ziwei, you can look for it again." ”
"Lady, the slave has seen it several times, and there is no way." Ziwei looked at Lin Yun'er helplessly, Lin Yun'er stopped her movements, and when she turned around, she saw that Ziwei's head, face, body, and clothes were all wet. She pulled out the towel in her sleeve pocket and wiped it for her with a sigh. But Ziwei looked depressed, as if she was about to cry, "Lady, you are all wet, but the slave maid was told by thousands of times not to let the lady get cold." ”
"Why do you cry and mourn? If you can't find it, you can't find it. Lin Yun'er held up her umbrella, "It's all wet, let's go back." ”
"Whoa!" Ziwei replied.
Back in the inner courtyard of the Buddhist hall, Lin Yun'er hurriedly went to the room to change into a dress, she couldn't stand the feeling of being soaked. After changing her clothes, she called Jade over, "Mother Cui, you ask Xiao Wu Xiaoliu to take tools and go to the stone steps and trail in the back mountain to see if there is a road at the end." ”
"Whoa." Jade got the order to go out and call Xiao Wu Xiaoliu to find the way, turned around and asked, "What did the lady find?" ”
Lin Wan'er looked at the shallow dripping water under the eaves, and said in a shallow voice, "Somehow, I want to find the reason for Linghui's death, Mother Cui, you say, why did the Holy Lord come to the Buddha Hall at this time?" He said that he had come to summon Mrs. Linghui, but he was so frank about Mrs. Linghui's death, as if it was expected. ”
"Lady hurry up and shut up." Jade looked left and right for a while, and after making sure that Qianniuwei outside the courtyard had not heard Lin Yun'er's conversation, she said, "The wall has ears, be careful." ”
Jade continued, "The sage's summoning of the concubine of the previous dynasty is just a family matter for their royal family, how can there be so many twists and turns? ”
Lin Yun'er said softly, "The prince of Pingxi seems to have not been powerful in Jifu Temple. She glanced up at the outside of the courtyard and lowered her voice again, "Both brothers are here, and I don't know if they really came for the treasure of Jifukuji Temple." ”
"Lady!" Jade was furious, "Don't say this in the future!" ”
Lin Yun'er was still puzzled and unmoved, and Jade said, "Lady, these things, Ah Lang Saburo will deal with them, we are just a deep daughter's family, and what we can do is to marry and obey our husband." ”
Married to a husband? Lin Yun'er smiled bitterly, is there only such a way? What about Mu Ling? Looking at the wrinkles that quietly climbed up Jade's face, she stopped her wayward question, and only lowered her eyebrows and said, "Yes, I know." ”
Jade hated iron and couldn't make steel sigh, after so many days, she still can't see what kind of character the lady from home is, she is just turning a blind eye now.
For about half a day, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu carried a tool on their backs and rushed to the yard from the back mountain, but because the road was wet, their shoes were covered with mud, and they actually printed mud marks on the bluestone road in the courtyard.
When Jade saw their appearance, she couldn't help but reprimand, "What the hell do they look like?" What kind of system? ”
Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are just two underage children, this Huang Zishan's third brother bought and waited at the farm under the mountain, just because there are few rules on the mountain, so he also developed such an innocent character, he was reprimanded by Jade, and immediately suppressed the laughter on his face, put down the tools on his back, and lowered his head one by one.
"Let you go and find your way, how did you come back?" Lin Wan'er asked.
The two paused, and Xiao Wu said cautiously, "Back to the lady's words, the slave and Xiao Liufang went to find the way, and accidentally fell into a dark ditch, which was full of shrubs, and the slave did find the way after breaking the shrubs." ”
Lin Yun'er's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly got up, "Quick, take me to take a look." ”
But when she got up just right, she was pulled back by Jade, "Lady, you are the eldest lady of the Huang family, you can't be so nonsense." ”
"Mother Cui, that road may be the path taken by the murderer." Lin Yun'er looked at Jade, "Now that my father and Ah Ling are definitely dealing with that prince in Jifu Temple, I'm afraid I don't have time to pay attention to here." ”
Jade seemed to want to preach, but just about to say the words of refusal but she swallowed back, her heart suddenly softened, about this lady, speaking and doing things have their own reasons, and the previous one is very different, but when I think of so many years of running around alone, Jade's heart can't be hard, after a few breaths, she had to sigh, said, "Wait for the slave maid to add clothes for the lady, so as not to get wet and cold." ”
Jade took a cloak from the house, the material of this cloak is similar to the oil-paper umbrella, but it is softer than the oil-paper umbrella, but it can also block some rain, which was made by Jade a few days ago overnight, she put this cloak on Lin Yun'er's body, and said, "Lady, don't be caught in the rain again." ”
Ziwei, who was standing in the courtyard, changed her clothes, holding an oil-paper umbrella tightly in her hand, and her expression seemed to be a little dead.
Lin Yun'er teased her, "Girl, if you don't want to go, then stay." ”
She pursed her lips and said, "Where the lady is, the slave and maid are." Somehow, Lin Wan'er vaguely saw on her face what she said in the ice cellar that day, "Where the lady is, where the slave is." ”
Lin Yun'er changed into a pair of thick-soled silk shoes, and followed the little five and six to the back mountain trail.
