Chapter 83 The real daughter, she quit (29)

After climbing up the steps in front of the Bodhi Residence, one second before her hands touched the small door made of bamboo, Haiyao turned her face and saw the fork in the road through the sparse bamboo forest in front of her. Under the old pagoda tree, that figure is very eye-catching even in the dark night.

The blue brocade cloak on the opponent's body was so radiant that it could be seen at a glance.

For Wu Jinzhen, she thinks that she can be regarded as the most benevolent, so many opportunities, if the other party hesitates once, she will not appear in a place where she should not appear now.

Gently pushing open the small door in front of them, Haiyao walked into the Bodhi House with Chunxi. As soon as they entered the door, they slept on a small wooden bridge. Connecting each other, you can vaguely see pious figures kneeling on the futon in the Buddhist hall.

Haiyao walked lightly to the outside of the Buddhist hall, and bowed slightly to the little novice who was guarding there: "Please trouble the little master to give this food box to the wife of the Wu family."

The little novice clasped his hands together and recited the phrase 'Amitabha Buddha', took the food box, turned around and entered the Buddhist hall lightly.

After waiting quietly outside for a while, Haiyao soon saw a figure walking out from inside, it was Mrs. Zhao.

"You child, it's so late, you ran out just to deliver those three bowls of bird's nest?" Zhao said in a reproachful tone with relief, and stepped forward to hold her slightly cold hand: "You go back to the wing first. Well, it may take more than an hour to finish!"

"Actually, it's sister Jinrou. She said that every year you come to this Shanyuan Temple, you will go to Bodhi Residence to listen to the abbot's chanting, and she will also come here every year to give you bird's nest." With a long face, he didn't care at all.

"It's just that in the afternoon, sister Jinrou went out to see Lao Shizi's Zhenling Stone, and sprained her foot on the way, so she gave me such a good opportunity."

Come every year?Mrs. Zhao frowned, feeling a little strange in her heart, but she didn't get too entangled in this kind of 'good thing'. She just kept urging: "Good boy, you two are good boys, go back quickly."

"Mother, as soon as I entered the Bodhi Residence, my daughter felt that the anger in her heart has calmed down. I wonder if the abbot minds if I go in and listen?" Haiyao asked sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was very happy: "It is of course good to listen to the Buddha's music more. I am just afraid that you will not be able to calm down and sit still at this age. You will come in with me. If you want to come, the abbot master will not listen to you." would mind."

Haiyao happily walked two steps forward with the other party, then stopped immediately, with a perplexed expression on her face: "Oh, cousin Zhen is still waiting for me outside, Chunxi, go out and tell her quickly, if If you like, please invite her to listen together, if you don't want to, let her go back to the wing with Lu Liu."

Chunxi responded crisply, turned around and ran out of Bodhiju with brisk steps.

But not long after, she ran back at a faster speed, her face was pale with panic, and when she was still some distance away from the two of them, she yelled at the top of her voice: "Ma'am! Girl! Not good! Miss Tang...Miss Tang seems to be missing!"

"Missing?" Mrs. Zhao didn't believe it, and seemed a little dissatisfied with Chunxi's frizzy behavior in this Buddhist and pure place: "Perhaps I'm impatient to wait, maybe they left first Ask people to go to the side room to have a look, what's the point of shouting like this before the matter is clear?"

"No ma'am!" Chunxi was about to burst into tears, with a trembling hand pointing in the direction outside the Bodhi House: "Lantern... lantern... When Miss Tang's personal maid, Lu Liu, came The one who was carrying that lantern! As a result, the lantern has fallen to the place where their master and servant stood just now, and the candles inside almost burned the surface of the lantern!"

It was only then that Mrs. Zhao felt that something was wrong, but regardless of her identity and age, she still seemed to calmly call the little novice not far away, and quickly stuffed a piece of silver into his arms: "Please trouble me Master went to the guest room where the female relatives are entertained, to see if Miss Zhen from the Wu residence has returned."

The little monk covered his chest and smiled, and ran away swiftly.

However, Chunxi's noise just now attracted the attention of the people who were originally worshiping the Buddha in the Buddhist hall. Some people looked around one after another, and some simply got up and walked out to check the situation.

It was Mrs. Song who came to them first, and the woman asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Why did I seem to hear our sister Zhen's name just now?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not sure what it is..." Mrs. Zhao tried to calm the other party's emotions.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, Mrs. Song was keenly aware of something from the words and tone, turned her head and raised her finger viciously at Chunxi: "Little hoof, tell me the truth soon, our sister Zhen What happened?!"

Chunxi was scolded for no reason, and she was naturally unhappy, so she pretended not to see Mrs. Zhao's wink, and explained the cause and effect clearly like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"My sister Zhen!" Song's complexion changed drastically, she pushed away Zhao and Haiyao in front of her, and ran out in a hurry, screaming indiscriminately with her heart and flesh in her mouth.

After she made such a fuss, the wives who had stayed in the Buddhist hall also came out, and the Bodhi House suddenly became a mess.

The abbot of Shanyuan Temple, who was wearing cassock and was quite thin, with two long white eyebrows, was about 60 years old. After asking about the situation, he turned around and ordered seven or eight big monks to help him. He went out to find someone, and comforted him: "Mrs. Wu, don't worry, the monks in the temple are familiar with the terrain in the temple, and they will search carefully on every road leading to the female family's wing to see if Miss Zhen is I accidentally lost my way."

"Thank you, master abbot." Mrs. Zhao recited a sentence of Buddha, and then, with Haiyao's support, she went down to the fork in the road where Wu Jinzhen disappeared. The large open space is as bright as daylight.

Not long after, the little novice who had just been sent to the women's wing came back briskly, and shook his head vigorously at the expectant Song and Zhao.

"My lord!" Song rolled her eyes and her whole body went limp. If it weren't for the maid beside her with quick eyes and quick hands, she would have fallen into a shit.

The old lady on the side also yelled. Faced with the chaos in front of her, Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to listen to the suggestions of the wives, first send Mrs. Song and the old lady back to the wing to rest, and then asked the abbot to send More monks are conducting a large-scale search for people in the entire Shanyuan Temple and its surrounding areas.

When the group of them returned to the women's wing in a mighty way, Wu Jinrou, who was startled by the little novice just now, was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly limped up to greet her: "Mother What the hell happened? Why did a little novice come to the door just now..."

The rest of the words were stuck in her throat after she saw Haiyao's intact figure in the crowd, and the expression on her face was even more out of control.

"My sister Zhen... my poor sister Zhen..." Mrs. Song had just come back to her senses at this moment, and when she heard this question again suddenly, she burst into tears again.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't get away for a while to explain to Wu Jinrou, so she could only wave her handkerchief to beckon the servants of Wu's mansion to take Mrs. Song and the old lady back to the house first, and she naturally followed behind in a hurry Also entered the wing.

"Sister Jinrou's leg is so badly injured, why did she come out again?" Many wives around Haiyao went into the yard to watch the excitement, and then slowly approached her: "You don't know Right? Cousin Zhen disappeared, I obviously just went to Putiju to give my mother a bird's nest, but when I went out again, she disappeared!"

"Right now, all the monks in the temple are searching inside and outside the temple. I really hope she just accidentally found the way back." She didn't seem to notice Wu Jinrou's increasingly rapid breathing, and after greeting Chunxi He went into the courtyard on his own.

When there was no one around, Wu Jinrou suddenly shivered under a gust of cool wind, only felt a cold and sticky back, and unexpectedly broke out in a cold sweat at some point.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the yard, she turned her head and stared at Ding Xiang: "At that time, Wu Haiyao and Wu Jinzhen went out from here, and I asked you to report to that person. What did you say?"

Ding Xiang was a little frightened by her expression, shrank back half a step, and replied in a stumbling manner: "I told the characteristics and clothes of the eldest lady according to the request of the second lady."

Dress, dress, dress...

Wu Jinrou finally knew what went wrong. The cloak that Haiyao was wearing before she left was nowhere to be found. Suppose the cloak ended up on Wu Jinzhen's body... The two of them looked extremely out of shape from a distance. Similarly, it is not surprising that unfamiliar people cannot distinguish in dark colors.

In addition, Shanghai Yao went to Bodhijuli alone to deliver the bird's nest, once the person hiding in the dark saw that Wu Jinzhen in the cloak was on the order...

"Oops!" Wu Jinrou anxiously dragged Lao Gao's swollen ankle in circles, and after a few breaths, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Ding Xiang to her, and whispered something in her ear.

Seeing Ding Xiang going away, she bit the tip of her tongue vigorously. The reason why she ordered Ding Xiang to do everything was because the maid was very loyal to her, and because once the matter was exposed, Ding Xiang was now a member of the Liuliyuan. She, Wu Haiyao, shouldn't even try to stay out of it.

Wu Jinzhen, an idiot who has more success than failure!

The smell of blood spreading from her mouth did not calm Wu Jinrou down, and the sudden creepy feeling of being watched made her turn her head away quickly.

However, what I saw was only the shadows of people in the yard and the bright lights, nothing else.

She swallowed anxiously, and the haze in her heart became heavier.
