Back at Bo'an House, Zhuo Yiting sat by the window with his cheeks in his hands, and Sanxi didn't dare to come forward and squeak. Hui Yuan Cheng Xin passed by twice outside, and the three joys waved their hands to signal, and at the end Hui Yuan left. The next morning, Sanxi went to wash the girl's face, passed by the east side of the house, and saw that the nuns and others hurriedly entered and exited from the old nun of Bojing, and asked a small nun, only to know that the limit of the old nun of Bojing was approaching.

Sanxi hurriedly returned to Bo'ansha with a basin of water and told her that the girl heard this, and rushed to the old nun of Bojing, but she stood outside the door and did not dare to enter, seeing that everyone was busy and anxious. For a long time, Chunguang cried loudly and crawled in on his knees in the distance, looking at the scene, it was more sad than crying when his parents died. Zhuo Yiting's master and servant stood while hearing the cry of pure light, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Suddenly, an old nun came out of the house and said to the crying pure light: "Master said that you don't have to come here to howl, and you can go behind yourself." ”

Chunguang still cried and knelt and kowtowed, but he couldn't see half a tear. Zhuo Yiting knew a little in his heart that the pure light was making this scene, just to make Bojing Laoni change her mind when she was dying, so that she could have something to give. Bojing Laoni used to teach Zhuo Yiting to observe words and colors, and there was a kind of calculation method that said: "There are tears and voices are crying, there are tears and no crying, there are tears and there is a howl, and most of the people who cry and howl are deeply wronged and cannot see the sun." This method can be seen to be a trick of the people, and Baidu is unhappy. Chunguang was expelled again, belatedly gone, and finally looked at Zhuo Yiting's master and servant with angry eyes.

Immediately after, an old nun's voice came out of the house: "Tell the two outside to find agarwood and hemp tendons to burn mugwort leaves, hurry up." ”

The old nun broke off, and several little nuns who were looking outside hurriedly ordered to leave, and after a while, one of the little nuns who went was holding an agarwood, and one was holding half a bundle of mugwort leaves and hemp tendons, and entered the house. After a while, the smoke in the house was swirling, as if walking in the water. It wasn't until the middle of the day that the nuns walked out of the house with a calm look. Zhuo Yiting grabbed Hui Yuan, who came out at the end, and asked, "How?" ”

Huiyuan's tears flickered, fell, and grinned: "Buddha bless, it's okay." ”

When Zhuo Yiting heard this, his heart stone settled, and he hurriedly folded his hands and closed his eyes to thank the sky. Zhibo Jing Lao Ni is fine, the master and servant returned to the Bo'an House, except for taking back the fast food outside, they will no longer go out of the house, until the afternoon, Huiyuan came with a letter, handed it to Zhuo Yiting, and said: "Master let me hand it over to you." ”

Zhuo Yiting took the envelope, he didn't know what was hidden inside, and Juanxiu wrote a few words on the outside of the leather envelope: "Zhuo's Mansion Yiting Second Miss personally opened", and did not avoid Huiyuan and Sanxi, opened it to see, there was a piece of red jade and a red skirt corner torn off by one side, and a maple leaf, and a few words were written on the leaf: "Guangfu revenge, Siniang Dunliu bowed."

Sanxi stepped forward to glance at it, and asked, "Girl, who is Siniang?" ”

Zhuo Yiting quickly packed the letter, without speaking, and looked up at the sky in a daze. On that day, Bojing Laoni found her, so he mentioned this Siniang to her, and because of Siniang, Zhuo Yiting let Bojing Laoni be tempted to take him in. When they met for the first time, Bojing Lao Niti's conditions were related to Siniang. That day, Bojing Laoni said: "Leave you, no matter the will of fate, it will always be attributed to Siniang." "These four Niang, originally called Jin Yilang, slightly harmonic as "Si Niang", on the rivers and lakes are mostly called Si Niang, can be literary and martial; It is an orphan girl adopted by the concubine, her parents were also able to minister in the court, there was a girl of the same clan in the palace, and then because her grandfather was impeached for implicating the opposition party in a disorderly dispute, the court asked the nine clans, the whole family wore a flail and sent it away, or was asked to behead, her mother escaped, and she gave birth desperately in Xianyuanan, and her mother begged the concubine to protect her daughter for life, and the concubine agreed. The concubine did not dare to adopt her openly in the nunnery, and quietly entrusted it to a chivalrous person in the folk to foster teaching, when she knew the grace of the concubine, the slightly adult Siniang secretly came to the nunnery to find repayment, so far, from the mouth of the concubine learned that her clan was sinful, and since then she has hated the court to the bone, and swore to avenge the family revenge. Because she loves to wear red clothes, and she is indeterminate, and she has fallen without a trace, and has scared the nuns in the nunnery many times. When the concubine died, let Bojing Laoni try his best to protect Siniang, and at this time, Siniang had already mixed into the palace. At that time, Zhuo Yiting's sister Zhuo Yiyue came to ask Bojing Laoni, and Bojing Laoni also put forward the same conditions to help contact Siniang and protect her in the harem.

Bojing Laoni asked Zhuo Yiting again, but she was helpless, because she knew that she didn't have many days to come, and she couldn't wait for people to help Siniang, for fear that she would die and not be able to entrust the concubine on her deathbed. So, let Zhuo Yiting agree, and he will join forces with the Zhuo sisters to liberate Siniang, or let Siniang follow up the Zhuang Mansion, so that they can live safely, or they can help Zhuo Yiting around. After all, the mansion is much safer than the palace, otherwise, let Siniang make a living by herself after she comes out, and don't think about revenge and resentment, after all, people can't fight the court.

Zhuo Yiting naturally agreed to Bojing Laoni's conditions. First, Siniang's fate is similar to herself, and second, she also wants to have an arm that can be civil and martial, so as to show the grievances of her father. The red jade is her mother's relic, and her mother's name has the word "red jade", and the corner of the red dress is a corner of her daily favorite wear. Leaving this thing, there is a lot of enthusiasm for the heroic self-destruction of a strong man who broke his wrist and committed suicide with "returning from invincibility and taking it without a face". Bojing Laoni handed over these tokens to Zhuo Yiting, thinking that she would hold the vouchers in her hands, and if there was a rhetoric at that time, she could also return the items to the original owner.

Now Sanxi asked Zhuo Yiting, how could Zhuo Yiting tell him in a few words? Besides, this matter cannot be said about it as much as my own personal affairs. So, she can't say it, she doesn't dare to say it.

After thinking about it again, wasn't the red shadow I saw on the night I arrived at Xianyuanan the red-haired fox? If it is Siniang, why didn't she show up to see Bojing Laoni? Zhuo Yiting had a little more doubts in his heart, but he also smoothed the knot of red shadows hidden in his heart in the past few days.

Sanxi and Huiyuan sat with Zhuo Yiting for a while, and they didn't speak. In the afternoon, Chunguang came to the house, thinking that it was a matter of looking for the master and servant of Zhuo Yiting, but he was looking for Huiyuan. Although the status of pure light in front of her has been cut off, Huiyuan is still afraid of her, and with her beckoning, Huiyuan obediently goes. When he got outside, Chunguang didn't say a word, and snatched the gold-inlaid jade pendant on Huiyuan's neck.

Chunguang said: "Master I'm afraid it's not good, I turned over the yellow calendar, today is the auspicious day to make a shroud, I have to go down the mountain to spare a decent shroud with her, if you want to stay in the nunnery for a long time, wait for me to become the master of the nunnery as long as you want to stay." This object should be a place you are willing to give away for your life. ”

Hui Yuan didn't dare to refuse, and was taken captive by Chunguang, and only after walking a few steps, Chunguang came back and said to Hui Yuan: "You don't have to go with those two masters, when they came, I heard them talk outside the master's door." Stay away from them, otherwise, when the time comes, people will come and arrest you, and you will have to be a concubine when you go back, and I won't be able to control you. ”

After Chunguang left, Huiyuan cried and cried to Zhuo Yiting that Chunguang had robbed him of his gold inlaid jade, and threatened to stay away from them. Zhuo Yiting then woke up to the fact that the words he said to Bojing Laoni that night were not for Chunguang to listen to. Thinking about it again, Chunguang may not be stupid enough to report to the official, hiding prisoners in the nunnery is a big crime, and he should be punished together.

In this way, the torment lasted until the evening, and everything was fine. Tuo Huiyuan went to inquire again, and replied that Chunguang went down the mountain to make shrouds and came back, as usual, there was no unusual movement, but Chunguang wanted to invite merit, and the little nun who avoided the guards went in to see Bojing Lao Ni and told Shou Yi about it, but unexpectedly let Lao Nun scold him and was bombarded out. Hearing this, Zhuo Yiting breathed a sigh of relief.

Until midnight, the nunnery became agitated, and Zhuo Yiting knew that something was wrong.

First, I heard the screams of Nizi from the nunnery, and then I vaguely saw the light of the fire, and then I heard the voice of a man shouting, and then it was the sound of Huiyuan knocking on the door.

Sanxi opened the door, Huiyuan couldn't help but break in, knelt on the ground and begged: "Girl, save me, someone from the government is coming, and they must arrest me and go back to my husband to be a concubine." You told me to hide, and don't give me out. As he spoke, he got up and found a place to hide.

Zhuo Yiting and Sanxi looked at each other, and they were very puzzled. Sanxi woke up, pulled Huiyuan out, and asked again, "Where is your master?" ”

Huiyuan cried: "Master brought someone here." Today, I will go down the mountain to make a shroud and keep me away from you, I must have come back and be scolded by the master, but I can't get angry with me, I'm afraid that this time I'm afraid that I will have a vicious heart, and I can't be spared. ”

Huiyuan stared at Zhuo Yiting, Zhuo Yiting was even more anxious, whether he came to arrest Huiyuan or went on another business trip, the officers and soldiers came here, and there was only harm and no good for them. At that moment, Zhuo Yiting grabbed Sanxi and Huiyuan's hand, and said, "Go!" ”

The three of them hid and wanted to escape down the mountain through the front door, but they were blocked by officers and soldiers outside the Nunnery Hall, and they couldn't cross the road; A group of officers and soldiers were carrying torches and searching in and out of the direction of Bo'an Sha. Looking at the scene, Zhuo Yiting understood very much in his heart, didn't the person who came arrest him? Zhuo Yiting asked Huiyuan at this time: "I can't get out in front of the door, can there be a back door in the nunnery?" ”

Hui Yuan said: "There is a back door, behind the Buddha Cave Mountain. ”

Zhuo Yiting told him that he wanted to go down the mountain through the back door together. When they tried to turn around, a line of firefighters came behind them. At this moment, they were in a dilemma, and the three of them had to lie in ambush among the grass and flowers, waiting for the opportunity.

The three of them saw from a distance that Chunguang was holding a bounty notice paper in his hand, and they saw Chunguang whispering to the officers and soldiers. After a long time, a small soldier hurriedly ran from the direction of Zhuo Yiting's Bodhisattva House to report.

Xiao Bing said: "My lord, no one has been checked." ”

Huiyuan held Zhuo Yiting's hand and trembled very much. He giggled and said, "It's not about grabbing me!" ”

Zhuo Yiting said: "Don't think about it, maybe it's not you!" She didn't dare to confess her identity to Huiyuan.

As the two were talking, they saw a few old nuns helping Bojing Lao Ni out. Bojing Lao Nun just arrived, and shouted sternly: "Bold minion, Xianyuan Nunnery is also so bothered by you?" Tomorrow it will be sent to the palace, so that you can be dismissed from your posts and investigated. ”

The head of the officers and soldiers looked domineering, and he didn't take the nuns in his eyes at all, and said: "Even if the concubine of the previous dynasty is there, we will find it!" He showed a token and said with a smile: "Where it is rewarded, it will not be investigated." ”

Bojing Laoni was so angry that he trembled, coughed again and again, and after a little slowdown, Bojing Laoni said: "That...... Then who are you searching for in the middle of the night? ”

The officers and soldiers said: "Of course, the court is chasing down the key criminals." With a hand, he said to the soldiers: "Search carefully!" ”

A small nun flashed out of the shadows, and went to Bojing Laoni to support her, I don't know what to whisper to Bojing Laoni, only to see Bojing Laoni smiled, and said loudly: "Our group of nuns, it's not the court to commit a crime." I've been locked up for most of my life, and I never expected to see the light. Take whoever you want to take away, what is there to search! ”

After a cup of tea, the search soldiers and others replied, but to no avail, but all the nuns were detained. He also saw two officers and soldiers escorting them to pure light, and asked them to identify them. Pure light recognized the person and shook his head.

The officers and soldiers were angry and said, "So, your sister-in-law is lying about it?" Come! Wanting to blame Chunguang, suddenly Bojing Lao Nun stood up and said: "Under the heavy punishment, people will die, why bother to create evil." ”

The head of the officers and soldiers smiled and said to Bojing Laoni: "Is it true to say that the Tibetan prisoner is so?" Come on, take her away first! Go back and torture and torture, if you don't believe it, you can't hand it over! ”

Seeing that the people wanted to take Bojing Laoni away, Zhuo Yiting in the bushes and flowers couldn't hold back and wanted to rush out, and Sanxi stopped him.

Sanxi said: "The girl should think about the old lady, think about the young master who is still outside!" ”

Zhuo Yiting's tears flowed, his stubborn strength retreated, and he settled down to continue looking. The officers and soldiers over there took Bojing Laoni and loosened the pure light, and the nuns watched the officers and soldiers arrest people, and most of them refused to accept it, so they simply pulled and tore with the officers and soldiers, and did not take Bojing Laoni away.

The people in front of them are like moths to a fire, and like villains in shadow puppetry, in a trance, intertwined; And the howl shook the earth, and the cry was all over the sky, and it was miserable and miserable.

Huiyuan was stunned, blurred her eyes, and covered her mouth and couldn't cry. The same is true for Zhuo Yiting.

Sanxi was calm, pulled Huiyuan and said, "Master Huiyuan, don't help me pull the girl away." If it's too late, you'll die. It was the time to escape, and the officers and soldiers went to resist the nuns, and in the melee, Zhuo Yiting and the three quietly groped away.

The three of them walked together, looked back at Bojing Laoni again, and saw that she staggered to block the pure light, the original knife stabbing of the head of the officers and soldiers gave the pure light, and finally was blocked by Bojing Laoni, and the blood was like a shower of dark clouds, scattered and stained, black and not red.

The night is vicious, the night is even more vicious, and it is so dark that it is impossible to move forward.

Escaping through the back door, the three of them fell into a gutter, covered in cement and embarrassed. Zhuo Yiting was even more weak to lie down, not wanting to move. After Sanxi and Huiyuan pulled her to the side of the road, Zhuo Yiting regained popularity, got up, knelt down in the direction of Xianyuan Nunnery, knocked his head nine times, and then cried so much that he couldn't get up anymore, and said sadly: "I don't kill the uncle, but the uncle died because of me!" ”

Sanxi cried: "Girl, if you don't leave, how can you protect her master with death." ”

At this time, the fire flickered, the distant mountains were getting farther away, and the shouting was endless, although the three of them started to move forward, they were still chasing behind them. How many years have passed since this scene, like a dream, like a nightmare, lingering, and unforgettable. Think about it again, where can you go if you escape from Xianyuan Nunnery? Perhaps, I can only seek the help of Mr. Yao.

In the dark night of May, Kyoto is not as good as the south, Kyoto is still cold in June, and the wind blows at night, which is even more cold. The three of them snuggled up, supported each other, and walked along the corner of the path, but whenever they encountered a place with many people, they avoided as much as possible, for fear that any passer-by would send them to the official. I don't know how many miles I walked, and finally arrived at Chengkou Street.

Sanxi said: "After crossing this street and walking a short distance, it should be Mr. Yao's location when you turn a corner." I don't know if Mr. Yao is at home? ”

Zhuo Yiting was about to speak, but Huiyuan took two steps forward and knelt upright.

Huiyuan burst into tears and said, "Sister, good girl, take me in!" ”

Zhuo Yiting hurriedly supported Huiyuan and said, "Sister, we can't protect ourselves, how can we take you in?" It's not you who they're arresting, it's us. ”

Hui Yuan said: "I was also unsafe, and I can't go back to the situation in the nunnery." Now that you are really unaccompanied, penniless, you will live on the streets, and you will be a dead end, girl! Have mercy on me! I will follow you, and serve you like a cow and a horse. ”

Sanxi spat and said, "Who was a cow and a horse?" Our girl is not those delicate ladies in your capital, who want people to be cows and horses. ”

Huiyuan smiled: "Sister Sanli, did I say it wrong?" Just let me serve the girl with you, okay? ”

Huiyuan was reluctant to glance at Zhuo Yiting, but Zhuo Yiting hesitated and didn't speak.

Huiyuan said again: "Hengzhu, I am a stranger, sister and sister, you go well, I will rush back to the nunnery." After Huiyuan finished speaking, she hid her face and turned to leave, when suddenly a fast horse rushed from the road in front of her, if it wasn't for Zhuo Yiting's quick hand to grab her, she would have been knocked over and killed.

The three of them were frightened, and looked along the way, there was a person riding on the back of the fast horse, and there was a small flag behind the person, and there was a sign number "Zhuang" on the flag. Zhuo Yiting took Huiyuan's hand, glanced at Sanxi, and then said, "And so, come with us first." ”

The clatter of the fast horse in the distance was still echoing, and when I looked again, the fast horse had disappeared into the darkness. The three of them continued to rush towards Mr. Yao's house, and perhaps at this time, Mr. Yao had not yet fallen asleep.
