When Yang Hongxia saw Sister Yunyan, she asked eagerly, and when she learned that there was no news from Xianggong, she burst into tears and cried.

She was very sad and a little desperate, and if she did not return for many days, she must have suffered misfortune. She didn't want to think about this terrible result, and she couldn't avoid it, and she would pop up from time to time, tormenting her body and mind.

Zhang Yunyan held Hongxia's sister in her arms, so that her sister felt relied on, hoping to relieve her grief.

Now, Hongxia is snuggled in her sister's arms, still sad, no longer lonely, with her sister here, that broken heart is a little calmer.

Zhang Yunyan caressed and comforted, hoping to alleviate some of the pain for her sister.

Night had fallen, the stars were blinking and visiting, and the moon was half showing its face. The earth is quiet, and the living beings are no longer busy, and they have fallen asleep in the dark night.

Yang Hongxia sighed and wanted to get up to cook for her sister, Zhang Yunyan didn't want to tire her sister anymore, so she ate a little leftovers.

Hongxia's heart was full of depression and pain, and she didn't think about tea and dinner.

Zhang Yunyan was powerless to persuade, so she could only hold Hongxia and comfort her from time to time. In this way, the sisters sat silently for a long time, and then fell asleep in the middle of the night.

The next day, Zhang Yunyan had to look for Yang Hongqing, and she couldn't rest assured of her sister. After breakfast, she sat with Hongxia for a while, wanting to send her to Zhang's mansion, so that she could be accompanied by someone and feel less sad.

As soon as they left the house, a person suddenly broke in outside, it turned out to be Yang Hongqing's eldest brother Yu Hui.

Yu Hui gasped, his face was shocked, revealing an anxious expression. When he saw Zhang Yunyan, he was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that Sister Feiyan is also here, it's really good!"

Zhang Yunyan was also very happy, and hurriedly greeted him: "Big brother, please come in, I just want to accompany my sister to Master Zhang's house." ”

Yu Hui hurriedly said: "Sister, you still have the heart to move around and play now, something big has happened to Hongqing!"

Hongxia was worried about Xianggong, and when she heard this, she trembled with fright and burst into tears. She hurriedly asked, "Big brother, do you have any news about my father-in-law, what happened to him?"

Zhang Yunyan was frightened in her heart, her face was shocked, her eyes were fixed on Yu Hui, and she urged: "Big brother, tell me quickly, what's wrong with Hongqing?"

Yu Hui sighed: "I only heard about it yesterday, and I went to look for him, although I didn't see Hongqing, but I can confirm that something happened." ”

Zhang Yunyan was frightened when she heard this: "Big brother is about to say, what happened to him, where is he now?"

Yu Hui said bitterly: "He was arrested and locked up in a temple more than 200 miles away from here. ”

Zhang Yunyan was furious when she heard this, and asked, "Who did it?"

Yu Hui was very anxious: "I happened to hear about this, it's a long story, Hongqing is very dangerous, you can't delay, go and save him!"

Zhang Yunyan didn't ask any more, and after comforting Sister Hongxia, she hurried away with Yu Hui.

Yang Hongxia trembled with fright, her face was pale, her legs were weak and she sat on the ground, and tears kept flowing.

She cried bitterly: "Xianggong, why is the life of our husband and wife so miserable! If something happens to you, I will no longer live in the world...... She was extremely grief-stricken, crying loudly, very desperate.

For several days, Yang Hongxia has been grieving over her husband's disappearance, praying bitterly, eagerly looking forward to a safe return.

As time passed, she became more and more frightened, and she still did not give up, yet

I was looking forward to it. Now, she suddenly received the sad news, as if she had been struck by thunder, and she was overwhelmed with grief and could not bear it.

I don't know how long she cried, Yang Hongxia gradually stopped her grief, got up and came to the outside of the courtyard gate, and kept looking into the distance. What she saw were houses, trees, fields, hazy distant mountains......

Hongxia shook her head, returned to the house, just sat down and stood up again, walked around not knowing what to do or what to do, and hurriedly came to the courtyard gate to gaze.

Poor Hongxia was flustered and panicked, she was already desperate, and there was still a trace of fantasy in her despair, hoping that Yu Hui and her sister could save Hongqing.

This glimmer of hope is very precious, and it is supporting the poor woman that Hongxia does not fall. She still knows the pain, she still misses, she is silently praying, she is praying bitterly......

Zhang Yunyan followed Yu Hui all the way, because he didn't know how to work lightly, so he had to be patient and hurry. She was very anxious, if this continues, when will the journey of more than 200 miles be reached?

When she was anxious, Zhang Yunyan saw someone grazing horses on the side of the road, and immediately went over to discuss, and bought a good horse for a dozen taels of silver for Yu Hui to ride, which was much faster.

Yunyan is as light as flying, easily following left and right.

On the way, Yu Hui told about the incident. Speaking of which, it was purely by chance that he was able to get news of Yang Hongqing. That was the day before yesterday.

......

Yu Hui went to visit a friend, passed by a restaurant at noon, went in and asked for food.

There were three people at the next table eating and talking. One person said: "Alas, I am worried about him when I think of the person who was caught, and if he doesn't die, he will be stripped of his skin, it's so pitiful." ”

Yu Hui looked at them and ate again, there are too many such things, and he is too lazy to listen to them or to care.

Another man said, "Yes, I don't know why he offended those people and brought trouble." Alas, it is better to cause less trouble these days, so as not to cause trouble like him. ”

"My brother is right, you should pay more attention when you go out. Another person sighed, "I can't imagine that there will be harmful things in the pure land of Buddhism, there is really no royal law." ”

Yu Hui couldn't help but talk: "This world is so chaotic, what kind of royal law to talk about, it's better to protect yourself." "He's still eating and drinking, and he doesn't want to bother about it.

A person looked at Yu Hui and said, "This brother is right, it will be good luck if you don't have trouble in this life." ”

"I don't know where the arrested person is, if the family learns the news, they won't be in a hurry to die. ”

The other person thought for a while and said, "I remember, those guys mentioned his name when they spoke, it seems that his name is Yang Hongqing, and I don't know where he lives." ”

Yu Hui was immediately shocked when he suddenly heard these three words. He hurriedly asked, "Is that person's really called Yang Hongqing?"

"Hey, brother, what's wrong with you, why are you so surprised?" asked a man suspiciously.

Yu Hui sighed: "You don't know, I have a younger brother named Yang Hongqing, I don't know if the person who was arrested is him." ”

"I see, the man was in his early twenties, taller, a little taller than me, very handsome, a handsome young man. Alas, alas, he will not be better when he encounters this difficulty. He asked, "Is that your brother?"

Yu Hui was even more surprised: "According to what you said, he is a bit like my brother." Where is that man now?"

"We went to Ji'an Temple

When I saw that group of people, it was estimated that Yang Hongqing was also locked up there. Ji'an Temple is in the east, about 30 miles away from here, you might as well inquire to see if it is your younger brother. However, those people are very vicious, so you need to be careful. ”

Yu Hui didn't have the heart to eat and drink, so he hurriedly called the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and then said goodbye to the three people and left in a hurry. He galloped all the way and arrived at Ji'an Temple in less than an hour.

This temple is very large, and according to the three people, there are many people and tourists who come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and they come and go constantly. However, now it is deserted and there is no one in sight.

There was silence inside and outside the temple, and everything here seemed to have been solidified, as quiet as death.

Yu Hui was very puzzled, and when he entered the temple gate, there was no one in the empty courtyard, and the tall incense burner was still full of cigarette smoke, and the branches, leaves, flowers and plants were motionless. Except for the faint green smoke, everything seems to have condensed.

Yu Hui looked left and right, and had an ominous premonition. He entered the main hall and inspected around, not to mention the tourists, pilgrims, even Buddhist disciples could not see it. There are several Buddha statues sitting and staring, not knowing who they are waiting for or what will happen.

"Hey, where are the people?" Yu Hui was puzzled and shouted, "Is there anyone?"

Echoes rang out in the hall, but no one showed up or answered. He felt deeply uncomfortable, and hurriedly ran out of the main hall to the courtyard, and looked around, but there was still no one, still silent.

Yu Hui knew that something must have happened here, maybe the person who was arrested was here, and it was likely to be his younger brother Yang Hongqing. He didn't think much about it anymore and hurriedly searched.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter, and with the laughter, a person walked out of the side hall.

The guy was in his thirties, with a steel knife in his hand, and he didn't look like a good man. He looked at Yu Hui and asked, "Look at you like this, it's neither like seeking Buddha nor like a tourist, isn't it a good idea?"

Yu Hui guessed that this person was one of the murderers, and sneered: "Look at you like this, you are neither the host nor the guest here, you must have a lot of background." ”

The man laughed: "Well said, well said, of course we have a background." In this way, you are really a person with a background, and you are not a good one. If I'm not mistaken, you're here to ask us for something, right?"

Yu Hui said coldly: "That's right, I'm here to find you, let people go!"

"Well, we're here waiting for someone to ask for," said the man, smiling contemptuously, "but whether you can get there depends on whether you have what you can do." ”

Yu Hui asked angrily: "Thief, who is the person who was arrested, and where is he now?"

The man was a little puzzled and asked, "Why, you don't know him?" He was very dissatisfied and snorted, "That guy's name is Yang Hongqing, since it has nothing to do with you, get out of here quickly, so as not to attract death." ”

Although Yu Hui had already guessed, he was still very surprised, and he didn't know if it was a righteous brother. He asked, "Is he really Yang Hongqing?" Why are you arresting him?"

"Why, do you know him? It seems that you didn't come in vain, and we didn't wait in vain, let me tell you again, he has a beautiful lady named Yang Hongxia. That little girl was so beautiful that we thought of her and couldn't sleep and eat when we thought of her, and we dreamed of her. He laughed as he spoke.

Yu Hui was shocked when he heard this, but he was sure that the person who was arrested was the second brother Yang Hongqing.
