Chapter 266 1 thought becomes a demon
Jiang Miaomiao looked at her brother curiously.
She didn't even mention that her mother had been ambushed, so how did her second brother know?
Could it be that her second brother can understand bird language just like her?
She felt a chill in her heart.
Did her second brother find out her secret?
Will people think of her as a monster?
Jiang Ziyan looked at his adorable, slightly dazed younger sister and gently pinched her little nose. "What are you thinking about?"
Miaomiao held her second brother's hand and asked, "Second brother, is Mother in danger?"
"Don't worry, Mother told me before she went in that if I didn't come out after an hour, it meant there was really a problem inside, and then Brother Sun could go and rescue people."
Jiang Ziyan touched his little sister's scallion flower, then pulled her into his arms, wrapped her in his cloak, leaving only her little head sticking out.
"Don't be afraid, little sister, your brother is here."
My sister shouldn't have come to a place like this, to a place like this.
But leaving her at the inn is even less safe; their luggage has probably already been thoroughly searched by now.
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
She felt that her second brother had changed; he had become more intelligent.
She used to worry that her second brother, Wenwen, was weak and handsome, and that he would be bullied if he entered officialdom in the future.
It's said that scholars are jealous of each other, and when they get jealous, they can be even more intense than humans.
However, judging from his behavior these past few times, it's unlikely that an ordinary person could bully him.
Sun Dalang walked over at this moment.
He was unarmed and was left outside the Shuiyue Nunnery.
I was afraid of causing trouble for my second brother.
Looking at the handsome and composed young man, he asked, "Brother Yan, did you guess that there was an ambush at Shuiyue Nunnery?"
Jiang Ziyan nodded.
"Then why did your mother bring my wife inside?"
Sun Dalang was in a bit of a headache; he didn't even know when his wife had gone in.
Madam Jiang actually brought his wife inside so openly, even though he would never have let his wife take that risk.
Jiang Ziyan raised an eyebrow. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If my mother and sister-in-law Sun don't go, who will?"
Are you going?
The Shuiyue Nunnery is full of women, and Master Shuiyue treats women's illnesses, so men are forbidden from entering.
It's likely that the assassins took this into account, which is why they chose to ambush her at Shuiyue Nunnery, luring her there to rescue her.
They were certain that the guards would not dare to barge in.
But they made a mistake. They wanted to save the people, they wanted to break into Shuiyue Nunnery, and they even wanted to take Shuiyue Abbess with them.
Sun Dalang was speechless.
While Madam Jiang was facing danger inside, her son remained remarkably calm.
Such composure and calmness in the face of adversity at such a young age.
He himself felt inferior to them.
Outside the temple, the wind howled and cranes cried, and wolves howled all around.
Inside the temple, swords clashed and shadows flashed; another fierce battle ensued.
The pilgrims who stayed overnight were terrified and hid in their rooms, locking the doors tightly.
The nuns at Shuiyue Nunnery were also terrified.
These past few days have been filled with terror, one moment it's assassins, the next it's government soldiers.
I have a feeling that Shuiyue Nunnery will be demolished sooner or later.
The young nun who had opened the door for Jiang Zifeng earlier secretly sneaked into the woodshed during the chaos, picked up a stone, smashed the lock, and said to those inside, "Come out quickly, someone is here to rescue you."
Xu Wanxin happily pulled her younger sister out of the woodshed, both of them looking disheveled.
If you were to ask her now if she regrets it, she would say she regrets it terribly.
She knew the mountain path to Shangshuiyue Nunnery was rugged, so she thought of finding some sedan chair carriers to carry them up. As soon as she got into the sedan chair, she knew nothing more, and when she woke up, she was in this dilapidated temple.
She thought she was going to die there. The nun said that after tonight, she would send them to the back mountain.
Could the back hill be a mass grave?
It's terrifying to even think about.
She asked the young nun, "Why did you save us?"
The young girl paused, then stopped talking and went to the back of the mountain.
She and her sister were sold here by their parents. Their father wanted their mother to have a boy, but he didn't have the money to buy medicine, so he sold the sisters to pay for it.
They were taken to Shuiyue Nunnery, thinking that becoming a nun wouldn't be bad, as they would have food and clothing and wouldn't have to suffer from hunger and cold.
But a few days later, my sister disappeared.
Her older sister was older than her and was also good-looking.
The master said that there was a reclusive master in the back mountain who saw that the sister had good aptitude and wanted to take her as his apprentice.
But less than two months later, she found her sister's purse and torn clothes in the woods behind the mountain.
In the days that followed, little girls were sent to the back mountain one after another.
She also secretly saw that some beautiful young pilgrims were also tricked into going to the back mountain.
She had a sharp knife hidden in her sleeve, coated with deadly poison.
Quickened the pace.
……
The sounds of fighting could be heard coming from inside the temple.
The sounds of a woman screaming and panicking could also be heard.
The sound was somewhat eerie.
It was even more terrifying than the howl of wolves.
Jiang Miaomiao felt a little flustered and worried.
Master Shuiyue hid behind the door, watching as the group of assassins were actually losing ground, and she felt very panicked.
They're just two women, how could they be so powerful?
If those assassins fail to kill them, the soldiers outside will probably demolish her Shuiyue Nunnery.
Everything she painstakingly built and hid will turn to ashes.
The assassins lying in ambush in the forest could finally breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the group of guards go inside. Their main force was inside, so they dared not confront them head-on.
Hiding in the woods, they remained motionless, even holding back their bodily functions.
After taking care of his physical needs, he saw the children at the entrance of Shuiyue Nunnery and looked around, only to find that there wasn't a single guard.
There was only a man who was panting heavily even while climbing the mountain, and a young maidservant.
In the end, I panicked and lost sight of what I was doing.
I thought to myself, "The opportunity has come."
They captured the woman's child and used it to blackmail her, not afraid that the people inside wouldn't comply.
Even if they perish together, it will be considered that the mission has been completed, and their families will receive a large reward.
Jiang Miaomiao felt a chill down her spine, as if countless eyes were staring at her.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai, who was lying at his feet, stood up and roared at the forest.
"Aww...aoww..."
In an instant, there was a response from the woods.
"Ouch..."
"Help! What the hell is this thing...?"
"Run! It's a wolf!"
Soon, a green light flashed through the forest.
The sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling could be heard.
Sun Erlang rushed to Shuiyue Nunnery and saw a group of men in black on the ground.
This……
Do they not even need to lift a finger?
Lu Qingyao, holding a red-tasseled spear, stood back-to-back with Xiuxiu in the middle. When she saw him coming, she shouted, "Stop dawdling! These people are scattered in several groups. Go find your wife and search the Shuiyue Nunnery inside and out, but don't disturb the worshippers."
This is destined to be a sleepless night.
The worshippers hid inside the house, huddled under their blankets, filled with fear and apprehension.
No one broke down the door.
Finally, dawn broke.
Jiang Miaomiao nestled in her second brother's arms, wanting to see her mother come out with her own eyes, but in the end she couldn't hold on any longer.
I fell asleep without realizing it.
When I woke up again, I was already in the inn.
It feels like everything has changed.
It was already noon, and everything had returned to calm.
The room was neat and tidy, with no signs of having been ransacked.
Does that mean those people didn't search their luggage and find those ledgers?
Her second brother and Xi'er were still by her side.
She suspected she was dreaming.
Then I heard her repeat it over and over again.
The Sun sisters were rescued, and Sun Erlang found a lot of silver at the Shuiyue Nunnery.
This nun swindled a lot of money from those ladies under the guise of treating illnesses.
All that talk about "spiritual spring water" is fake.
