For two days in a row, the weather was like a spoiled lady in a deep mansion, and after a few heavy rains in a temper tantrum, the air was as clear as a wash.

The news of Shen Zhan's departure from Yuzhou reached Ye Lingwu's ears.

She opened the account book and said without a deaf ear: "Uncle Yu, you can accompany me to the coat shops in two days." ”

Uncle Yu didn't expect Ye Lingwu to react like this, and sneered: "Yes." By the way, big girl, the roster of selected stewards has come out, do you need to look at it? ”

Ye Lingwu thought for a while and said, "Whether you are competent or not needs to go through the assessment first, and after the assessment, it will not be too late for me to see it." ”

Uncle Yu nodded, and said with a smile: "Big girl, no one has been interested in this purple carrot cloth village since it reopened, but just after yesterday's vegetarian banquet, the orders received by the cloth village this morning have increased, and the big bosses in Yuzhou are really giving face." ”

Ye Lingwu slowly lowered his eyes.

It's to save face.

But what they gave was just Shen Zhan's face.

As for her, she owes Shen Zhan a favor again.

How to repay this favor, how to pay it back, and pay it back?

She didn't know......

A few days ago, Mrs. Shen sent a letter, urging Ye Lingwu and Jiang Yuan to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and she wanted to hold a banquet in Jinghe Hall to celebrate this family affair.

However, the affairs of the Ye family have not been completely dealt with, and the return to Beijing has to be postponed, but Jiang Yuan, as an important minister in the court, can not stay any longer, according to her words, the rare leisure days are over.

In March, the spring was cold, and while Ye Lingwu had not left Yuzhou, the Ye family went to Qingquan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.

There is a big lake behind the main hall, Ye Lingwu led Yuan Tao and Qingtang to walk slowly, she didn't want to come to this sad place today, but Liu Yuping had to pull the whole family together, or in the name of Ye Huaisheng.

Everyone thought that they had indeed neglected the aftermath of last month, so they agreed.

Ye Lingwu and Ye Jinxiao simply came out after burning incense, while Liu Yuping and Gu stayed in the main hall to chant.

It was windy outside, so the bhikshuni found a small room that was clean and elegant, and invited the two girls to go in and wait for tea.

Ye Jinxiao took a few sips of tea, looked at the humble wing, and said provocatively: "Big sister hasn't come to Qingquan Temple for a long time, why don't you go to your hometown to see it now?" ”

Ye Lingwu paused, slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "What's there to see." ”

"It's nothing to see, but the eldest sister has lived here for a while, and she didn't feel it when she returned to her hometown?" Ye Jinxiao's tone was sarcastic, she knew that Ye Lingwu had a hard time in Qingquan Temple when she was a child, but she deliberately uncovered her old scars.

Ye Lingwu gave her a cold glance and got up to leave.

Seeing people leaving, Ye Jinxiao glanced at Xiaoqu.

Xiaoqu looked solemn and hesitated: "Second girl......"

"Go!" Ye Jinxiao interrupted.

Xiaoqu pursed her lips and hurriedly followed out of the house.

Qingquan Temple has never had many people to burn incense, not that this temple is small or not spiritual, but the common people of Yuzhou take business as the priority, most of them are the gateway of businessmen, compared to burning incense in Qingquan Temple to pray for blessings and safety, more people will go to Lingshun Temple to pray for prosperity, great wealth and wealth.

Wealth is more important than anything else.

Yuan Taosi looked around and said, "Big girl, when are we going back, it's cold to look at here." The eldest lady is probably also looking for you, isn't she praying for the deceased lord today? ”

Ye Lingwu was silent, her eyes looked up along the moss-covered old stone steps leading to the top of the mountain, and in a trance she seemed to see a girl in cloth carrying a bucket climbing the mountain with difficulty, her heart sank, and she suddenly got up.

At that time, she often wondered, will she live through tomorrow?

Will her father come and take her home after she survives?

After she goes home, she must restrain her temperament, get rid of her bad temper, and obediently don't mess with Liu Yuping.

“…… Pray for him. Ye Lingwu snorted coldly and slowly lowered his eyes. He doesn't deserve it!

The three of them continued to walk along the path around the mountain, and after a short time, they were almost at the edge of the lake, but at this moment, they heard the movement of the path behind them.

Ye Lingwu looked for a sound, and saw two cloth-clothed men walking towards this side, with a beard covering two-thirds of their faces, and they looked fierce.

When the two little girls saw it, they were directly frightened.

"Big girl, let's go back." Yuan Tao said calmly.

Ye Lingwu frowned, those two people didn't look like they had come to the temple to pray for blessings, they didn't seem to have a purpose, but their intuition told Ye Lingwu that they were coming for them.

"Take a different path, don't go back from that trail." Ye Lingwu relied on his memory and led Yuan Tao Qingtang towards another relatively deserted path.

It is also possible to go around the main hall from this path.

The stone steps on the trail look like they've been around for a while, but luckily it hasn't rained these days, otherwise the mossy path wouldn't have been possible.

The movement behind her did not stop, and Ye Lingwu was even more sure that the two people were coming towards her, as for the purpose...... is probably inseparable from Liu Yuping.

The deeper you go down the path, the more desolate it becomes, and the withered grass on both sides is more than half a head taller than the girl's.

Ye Lingwu stopped, raised her eyes to look at the withered and withered weeds on both sides, she reacted quickly and pulled the two little girls to hide in the weeds.

"Don't make a sound." Ye Lingwu shouted in a deep voice.

Footsteps are getting closer.

", where did those three dead girls go?"

"They're pretty fast."

"Hurry up and find it, they definitely didn't go far, if they don't kill them this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the money."

The man's voice on the other side of the path was rough and loud.

Yuan Tao Qingcheng heard the word "kill", his whole body trembled, and the two never thought that when they came to Qingquan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, they could actually meet bandits.

And Ye Lingwu's face is not much better, it stands to reason that Liu Yuping will not be so stupid to find someone to kill her, especially this kind of person who can't turn over once she misses.

I don't know how long it took, the movement didn't stop, the two bandits seemed to have some experience, and they noticed that the place where Ye Lingwu's movement disappeared was in this section of the trail where the grass was overgrown, so they kept searching around this section of the trail.

"What should I do, big girl, they haven't left, and we can't escape." Yuan Tao was so anxious that her voice trembled.

Ye Lingwu thought for a while, looked at the bottomless cyan lake through the wild grass, and muttered for a moment: "Take off your coat, swim to the other side and go back." ”

"But on such a cold day, I'm afraid my body will not be able to bear it if I swim over." Qingtang hesitated, this lake is just melted snow water, and it is strange that it does not swim past the wind and cold.

"Those two people will come over immediately, and if they swim over, they will be the path back to the main hall, and if they don't swim over, they can only wait here for death." Ye Lingwu frowned.

Qingtang bit her lip.
