After another two days, Liu arranged the things in the house, and took Shen Yinqiu to Lingyin Temple, which was half a day's journey from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Yinqiu went out happily and happily brought a bunch of food and scripts. The rest of the things are taken care of by the servant girl around you.

Since the heavy rain, the weather has been cold, and in the morning you can see icicles hanging on the branches.

And Shen Yinqiu was dressed thickly, and a soup woman was stuffed in her hand, she didn't feel the cold at all, after getting along with each other for a few days, her relationship with the Liu family has improved by leaps and bounds, and occasionally she will be coquettish with the Liu family or something.

In the warm carriage, Liu was covered with a blanket, leaning to the side and closing his eyes to recuperate, and the carriage was moving slowly and steadily. Shen Yinqiu looked at the book on the table intently, eating pastries and drinking flower tea from time to time.

Although the two did not communicate, they did not feel awkward and stiff.

The morning passed quietly, and the carriage could only reach the foot of the mountain, and the steps up were steps, and they had to walk up.

This time, Liu Shike brought eight guards, just for fear that there would be another accident halfway.

Shen Yinqiu looked at the continuous bamboo forests on both sides, swaying left and right with the cold wind, and a few bamboo leaves fell down from time to time.

Leaving the warm carriage, Shen Yinqiu stood for a while and shivered.

Liu tightened her collar for her and said, "It won't be cold when you can walk." ”

"Hmm." Shen Yinqiu took her aunt's arm and walked towards the bluestone steps with no end in sight step by step.

Liu said: "There are 999 steps in this step, and you have to climb them step by step with sincerity to achieve results. ”

Shen Yinqiu's calm face instantly tensed, and he looked at Liu Shi in disbelief and said, "Mother, there is a ...... on this step Nine hundred and ninety-nine? ”

It's not about scaring her anymore! Such a long staircase is estimated to be tomorrow morning!

Liu Shi didn't look over his head and snickered, and then straightened Shen Yinqiu, who was afraid with a bitter face, and climbed to the top step by step,

Half an hour later, Shen Yinqiu stared at the vermilion temple gate with a cold face and asked Liu, "This is the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps?" ”

Liu Shi glanced at the name of the steps, "Nine hundred and nine steps, is there any problem?" ”

"Ninety-nine at best! You lied to me. ”

Liu patted her head and said, "This is the name of the ladder, how can my mother lie to you?" Don't make noise in front of the Buddha's door, go in. ”

Shen Yinqiu grimaced behind her back, and then went in with Qianguang. The Buddhist gate is quiet, and the smell of incense wafts everywhere.

In the courtyard, three or four monks were cleaning with brooms, and when they saw them, they all put down their brooms and folded their hands in salute.

Shen Yinqiu learned from Liu's return gift, and soon saw a chubby monk come out to entertain guests.

Shen Yinqiu looked around and found that the scenery of this temple was good, and the smell of incense melted with the bright plum fragrance, which was very alternative and would not make people offensive.

Liu pulled her, she bowed her head and returned to her senses, and several people came to kneel in front of the statue of the Buddha.

"May I ask the donor, what do you ask for?" In front of the Buddha statue, the monk who was beating the wooden fish with his back to them asked in a kind voice.

Liu sat on his knees reverently, his face did not have his usual laziness, he glanced at Shen Yinqiu and said, "Master, I ask her for peace, keep her well-being, and ask her why she has so many disasters." ”

Shen Yinqiu looked at the fat monk with a charitable eyebrow, and turned to stare at the lottery holder in Liu's hand.

There was a bang, and the sticks collided up and down, left and right in the stick, and Liu closed his eyes, looking so pious.

Shen Yinqiu was silent for a while, lowered her head and her eyes were a little hot, could she believe that her aunt cared about her now?

The sound of shaking lots stopped, and Liu opened his eyes and picked it up and handed it to the monk waiting aside.

Shen Yinqiu got up with Liu, looked at the red candles burning on both sides of the hall, and the cold wind outside blew in through the open half of the door, making the candle flame wick shake with it, and the smell of incense that was not blown away condensed in the air, and I felt okay after smelling it for a long time.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Liu Shi beckoned Qianguang and said: "You accompany your master to go out for a walk, remember to take a few guards and don't go to remote places, she may feel a little bored staying here." ”

Qianguang bowed his head, walked to Shen Yinqiu's side and whispered a few words, Shen Yinqiu glanced at Liu, and followed her out.

The eight guards stood outside the door, and when they saw Shen Yinqiu straightening their waists, Qianguang nodded casually: "You follow Miss to visit the temple together." ”

The monk on the side looked up at Shen Yinqiu, immediately looked away, and said Ani Buddha.

"Little donor, please rest assured, there is no evil intention in Buddhism."

Qianguang looked at his master, Shen Yinqiu thought that they didn't like her walking around the temple with the guards, and said, "I understand what the master means, disturb and disturb." ”

Shen Yinqiu looked back at the guards who wanted to follow and said, "You guys just wait for my aunt here, I'll go around with Qianguang and come back." ”

Now that it was already after noon, the temperature was a little warmer than in the morning, Shen Yinqiu took Qianguang's hand and said, "You say, will there be a wishing pool here?" Or else there is a wishing tree? ”

Qianguang has never been here either, and when he heard his master ask, he shook his head honestly, "Master, the slave doesn't know, but you can ask the monks passing by." ”

Shen Yinqiu walked along the eaves of the temple to the backyard, and he didn't see anything else, but the patchwork of plum trees and bamboos was pleasing to the eye.

Shen Yinqiu and Qianguang looked at it and walked farther and farther, and when they looked up and saw a big bell hanging from a high place, they all climbed the steps with great interest, because they didn't dare to knock it at will, they also touched it, and stood for a while to observe the layout of the entire temple.

Qianguang sighed, pointed to the southwest direction and said, "Miss, that big tree covered with red silk is not the wishing tree you said?" ”

Shen Yinqiu looked over and nodded again and again: "It should be, let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

They didn't know where they went, and they didn't see any trace of the monk along the way, Qianguang relied on the general direction to take Shen Yinqiu around, and it was also luck that they found it.

It was a large tree that could not be hugged by two open arms, and even though it was winter, it was still leafy and leafy. There is a lot of red silk hanging on the thick branches, and there are also a lot of red and green on the top, and the red and green are blended against each other.

Shen Yinqiu looked left and right and didn't find anyone else, the ground was covered with a layer of fallen leaves, and a lot of red silk also fell among them, but no one helped pick it up.

Shen Yinqiu bent down to pick it up, and saw love poems written on the red silk cloth two fingers wide and half an arm long.

"I hope that I and you have no colorful phoenix wings, and you have a good heart."

Chikko leaned over, "Miss, what is this?" ”

Shen Yinqiu looked back and forth and didn't find anything special, looked up at the big tree and said, "Verses, Qianguang, let's hang these down?" ”

Qianguang glanced at at the fact that there were at least a dozen of them, when did they have to hang up?

"Miss, my aunt is still waiting for us, don't delay the time, this is someone else's wish, of course, they will hang it up with their own hands."

"You're right, but it's fate that I picked up this one, I'll hang it up, you help pick up the red silk on the ground and put it away, although I don't know if it will offend people, it's better than falling on the ground and getting dirty."

Qianguang answered, and saw that her young lady was standing a few steps away, jumping up with great effort, and the red silk cloth fell as soon as it left her hand.

"Strange, how did they hang the top red silk?"

Qianguang paid attention to his master from time to time, picking up red silk strips everywhere.

Shen Yinqiu tried it once and knew that she couldn't throw it like her, and muttered: "Pick up two stones and tie them on both sides, you should have a chance to hang them on the branches!" ”

She passed by Qianguang's side to look for stones, and walked forward, and before she knew it, she came around behind the tree, and the thick trunk of the tree could completely cover her figure. It's just that she didn't know that there would be someone behind the tree, and before she could make a sound, she covered her mouth, and then she didn't know anything when the back of her neck was numb.

A gust of wind blew, the leaves rattled, and nothing was left behind the trees.

Qianguang picked up the red silk and sorted it out, but she didn't look up to look at the master for a few breaths, and she didn't see anyone when she stood up, she thought that she was behind the tree, and she held the red silk and said as she walked: "Is the young lady ready?" Slaves and maids came to help. ”

As soon as the words fell, the footsteps froze, behind the empty tree, quietly around, where was the figure of the young lady.

Qianguang tightly pinched the red silk in her hand and told herself not to panic, but the next second she threw away the things in her hand, looked around and shouted: "Miss! Miss, where are you? ”

The red silk strip was thrown in the air, and the cold wind blew, and the shouts gradually fell to the ground with the footsteps of Qianguang running away.

Qianguang's shout attracted the monk, and after she explained anxiously, the monk also began to look around, and the monks who accompanied Qianguang also comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, maybe your young lady just walked around and accidentally got separated." ”

Qianguang nodded casually in a panic, so that her young lady would not be so reckless and leave the maid next to her too far!

This incident naturally alarmed the Liu family, who came out to find Shen Yinqiu, as soon as she heard the news that Shen Yinqiu was missing, her smiling face quickly sank, and she glared at Qianguang suspiciously,

"What are you eight still standing for! Go and help find it! ”

Qianguang was chilled by Liu's back, which was a sense of crisis that he had never felt before. But now she is more anxious about her master. Without waiting for Liu to ask, he came to the front and told them everything about the places they had walked through, focusing on the wishing tree, because Shen Yinqiu was missing there!

Liu ordered, "Take me to the Wishing Tree now!" ”

Qianguang immediately led the way ahead, and the monk accompanied them to the place, shook his head, and said, "This is not a wishing tree but a marriage tree." ”

But now where does anyone care what kind of tree it is, they want to see people! See Miss Shen Er jumping around!

Liu followed Qianguang around, and when he came to the back of the tree, he couldn't see the footprints and couldn't find anything. If you drop something like a headdress, earrings, and a handkerchief, you might feel more at ease, but there's nothing on the ground!

Qianguang's eyes were moist but she didn't dare to cry, "In such a short time, Miss will definitely not be able to go far." ”

Liu picked up the red silk cloth under his feet, Qianguang glimpsed the content, instantly lost the rules, snatched it and saw it clearly: "I hope that I and you have no colorful phoenix wings, and you have a good heart?" It was in the lady's hand at the time, and she wanted to help hang it up. ”

Liu's Zhengse, snatched it back from her hand, looked at it twice and pinched it tightly, all around were looking for someone, and the shouts of the second lady from far and near were telling her all the time that her daughter was in trouble again!
