Chapter 142: Hiding in a Tree
Chapter 142: Hiding in a Tree
There is a strong enemy in the Holy Maiden Palace, there are patrols outside from time to time, Yang Shucheng can't get out, and the Holy Maiden Sect has strict rules, and a strange man comes and wants to be killed, Yang Shucheng can't, so he can only hide in Ma Yue's room.
The room was simply furnished, with nowhere to hide, and in the end there was only to hide in a small wooden bed.
The two of them fell asleep at some point, when they suddenly heard a shout outside:
"Ma Yue, get up."
The two of them woke up, and Ma Yue whispered: "Young Master Yang, don't go out, I'll be back soon." ”
Ma Yue walked out and was going to be on duty for the second half of the night. Yang Shucheng was lying on the bed alone, not daring to move, for fear that someone would come in.
After a short time, I heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside.
I walked to the door, pushed the door, but couldn't open it, only to hear it say, "This little girl, lock the door." ”
"She doesn't usually lock the door."
"Isn't there a strong enemy tonight, if she doesn't lock the door, she's afraid of being taken captive."
"Senior sister, what should I do?" One asked.
"Smash the lock open."
"Oh no, if she breaks the lock, she'll know someone has come in." One asked worriedly.
"It's okay, if she wants to ask, she will say that it was smashed by a foreign enemy."
"Yes, it's still the senior sister who is resourceful. I miss her as a little girl, why does the sect leader trust her so much! ”
Yang Shucheng hid in the quilt and heard the sound of talking outside clearly, this must be the result of the competition between the sisters and sisters, but it doesn't matter, if they come in, they will give them a handle, which will hurt Miss Ma Yue, and he will sleep with her in the middle of the night, and he can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
Yang Shucheng immediately made a decision, and immediately got out of the warm quilt, the house was simply furnished, there was no place to hide, so he had to turn around and climb under the bed.
Fortunately, there was a cloth bag and his own padded jacket under the bed, Yang Shucheng curled up, hid behind a ball of cloth bags, and looked outside.
I only heard a "bang" outside, smashed the lock open, and the feet of two or three people walked in.
These people came to the house, turned over the quilt on the bed, and said, "This little girl, the quilt hasn't been folded properly, didn't the sect leader say that she loves cleanliness very much." ”
"This little girl is a love pretend."
The senior sister said, "You turn over the contents of the drawer and see what there is." ”
"Yes."
Yang Shucheng hid under the bed, where did he dare to vent loudly, looked at the footsteps of two people approaching the table, opened the drawer, and turned it over.
"Senior sister, there are only two scriptures for this teaching."
"You two look through it and see what the signs are? Does the Sect Master have any hints? “
"Yes."
The two of them stood at the table and looked through the two thin scriptures, and after they finished reading them quickly, disappointment appeared on their faces.
"Senior sister, no."
Senior sister said: "This is strange, there is nothing, what kind of swordsmanship or spell does she rely on, it must be taught orally by the sect leader, and there is no evidence left." ”
"Senior sister, what can I do?"
Senior sister said: "This little girl is really hateful! Follow the second set of actions, Xiaoguo, you put things under her pillow. ”
Then I saw a footstep walk up to the bed and put things away.
"Xiaoguo, you go and tell the sect leader, just say that you saw a figure, walked into Ma Yue's room, and let the sect leader come to check, I don't believe that this time I won't be able to defeat her."
The three men had a plan and quickly walked out of the room.
Yang Shucheng knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, put on his clothes, looked around, and saw that there was no handle left.
Before leaving, he put his hand under the pillow and took out a thing, which was a roll of paper, opened it, reflecting the faint light outside, and saw that there were people painted on the paper, men and women, dressed in light shirts, holding swords, fighting, this is a picture of spring.
This is the evidence used to frame Ma Yue, but fortunately he was discovered by himself. It suddenly occurred to me that the old woman had taken herself captive, did she want to save Miss Ma Yue herself? Isn't Miss Ma Yue having something to do with the old woman?
didn't have time to think about it, Yang Shucheng put the roll of paper in his pocket, and listened again, there was no movement in the corridor outside. He crept to the door and looked out, but there was no one outside.
Yang Shucheng walked out quickly, there was a corridor on the left and right, and he wanted to come to this row of houses, which were all dormitories for female disciples in the Holy Maiden Sect.
Yang Shucheng was afraid of meeting the disciples of the sect, so he flew down from the railing, this courtyard was very wide, but he didn't dare to go out, for fear of meeting the disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect on the way.
Fortunately, there are still a lot of holly trees in the courtyard, and they can hide in the leafy branches.
Yang Shucheng walked to the side of one of the largest holly trees, and looked left and right, but there was no figure.
Yang Shucheng came to the dry land to pull the onions, and his whole body stood up like a stiff one, flying into the holly tree.
As soon as I flew to the tree, I saw a black shadow, and I couldn't help but panic, and almost fell off the tree.
At the critical moment, Yang Shucheng reached out and grabbed a branch so that it did not fall. But he saw that there was a person hiding from the tree before, and those eyes were shining with green light.
When Yang Shucheng saw it, he was taken aback again.
The owner of these two eyes with green light is the old woman who has taken her captive.
"Ahh Yang Shucheng twisted his body and was about to fall from the tree.
The old woman stretched out her hand and grabbed Yang Shucheng and pulled him up into the tree, Yang Shucheng couldn't break free, so he had to sit on a horizontal branch.
Yang Shucheng said: "Old woman, you ......"
The old woman snorted and said, "Did you sleep well at night?" ”
Yang Shucheng was seen through the secret by her, blushed, and said, "It's ...... Ok......"
The old woman glanced at him, and looked elsewhere.
Yang Shucheng thought that this old woman hid in a tree overnight, and she must have known about her every move, so she no longer discerned, but just asked:
"Old woman, Miss Ma Yue is your granddaughter?"
"It's not."
"Then you came with me to save her?"
"Yes and no." The old woman said lightly.
Yang Shucheng thought she was going to explain, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see her speak, so he opened his mouth and said, "Old woman, ......"
"Don't talk, someone's coming."
Yang Shucheng had to stay opposite the old woman, not daring to make a sound, sharing a bed with Miss Ma Yue in the first half of the night, which can be said to be beautiful, and now hiding in a tree with an old witch, I can't say what it tastes like.
Looking out from the dense leaves, there was a heavy snowfall at night, and the ground was already snow-white, and it was hazy according to the night, but there was some poetic feeling.
"Oops, not good." Yang Shucheng shouted.
"How?"
Yang Shucheng said: "There are my footprints on the ground. ”
The old woman stretched out her hand, and a gust of wind blew up from the ground, and the snowflakes that had just fallen on the ground rolled and covered her footprints.
Yang Shucheng thought that this old woman was so powerful in martial arts, he couldn't talk casually, if he offended her, his life would be in danger.
Just as they were thinking, a group of women came to the courtyard, and they walked under the holly tree to a house opposite. Yang Shucheng turned his head to look out from the crack in the dense leaves, this group of women walked up the corridor, as if they were going to walk towards Ma Yue's room, due to the dense branches and leaves, they couldn't see the faces of these people clearly, I don't know if there was a girl Ma Yue?
Miss Ma Yue didn't know that she had walked out of the room, she was still scared, right? Her face must have turned pale with fright, and her heart was pounding. The evidence of framing her was also taken away by herself, but who would tell her all this.
The group of women walked into Ma Yue's room, and after a while, they all walked out.
Of course, they didn't find anything, because the things were in Yang Shucheng's pocket.
Soon, the group of Saintess Sect Female disciples walked down the hallway, under the holly tree, out of the courtyard, and soon walked to another place.
Yang Shucheng said to the old woman flatteringly: "There are a few people who want to frame Miss Ma Yue." ”
"That's jealousy of her." The old woman explained, "She has only been in the sect for a short time, but she can gain the trust of the sect master, and she has passed on a lot of her secret skills in private, and of course she will be jealous of her senior sisters. ”
After the old woman finished speaking, she closed her eyes, as if she was recuperating her spirits, her wrinkled old face, with thick white pastel, with the two large flowers of rouge on her cheeks, smeared with bright lipstick, and the yellow mountain flower was inserted in the sparse left sideburns.
Yang Shucheng saw her close her eyes and recuperate, knowing that she hadn't slept all night, so he didn't dare to speak again, for fear that any sentence would offend her, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The two of them were hiding in the holly tree, and they were also very close to each other, Yang Shucheng couldn't help but think about Miss Ma Yue, but looking at the old face of the old woman in front of him, he couldn't imagine Miss Ma Yue's pretty face.
The old woman slept for a while, and when she opened her eyes, her eyes were shining. She stretched out her wizened right hand, like a chicken's claw, but used it to pinch her fingers, and after a moment of calculation, she began to speak:
"The hour has come."
She glanced at Yang Shucheng again, and said, "Good boy, I hope I didn't miscalculate you." You have to work hard, do your best, it's up to you in the future. ”
A few inexplicable words made Yang Shucheng stunned for a moment.
