After lighting the incense, Wang went to the back to find the master to interpret the signature.
Xie Ying pulled Luo Ran around.
But her feet were still a little sore after walking for a long time. Luo Ran also noticed it and suggested, "Let's go back and take a rest."
However, Xie Ying was still a little unfinished. She pointed to a large hall not far away and said, "Let's go there for a final look and then go back."
Luo Ran nodded: "Okay."
This main hall should not be open to the public at ordinary times. The Buddha inside was covered with a thick layer of ashes. Only some tributes were placed on the confession table in front, and only a few incense sticks were burning slowly in the incense burner.
After Luo Ran came in, he stepped forward and lit the incense stick again, bowed and said, "Okay, let's go back."
Xie Ying agreed, but before going out, she looked back and wondered: "This palace looks very spacious. There should be room in the back. Why isn't it popular?"
Luo Ran said lightly: "Perhaps the place is remote and it is inconvenient for everyone to come."
Xie Ying didn't say anything else, and the two of them went back to the courtyard that had been prepared by the temple to rest.
When Luo Ran came back, he heard that his aunt was still chanting sutras at the master's place, so he thought of taking a nap and then waiting for his aunt to come back and have a fast meal together.
Not long after lying down, and just about to fall asleep, I heard the sound of spring rain at the door.
It sounded a little bad, and he deliberately lowered his voice: "Have you searched all around?"
A little maid cried: "I searched, but I couldn't find anyone. That's why I came to trouble the princess."
A green voice: "Okay, don't cry now. In this case, you don't make any noise for now, go to the host quietly, say that your lady's things are missing, and ask the host to send someone to help look for it. I'm going back now Princess, let’s see what the princess says.”
The little maid left crying.
Youqing and Chunyu came in and found that Luo Ran was already up, but his eyes still had the same trepidation as when he just woke up.
"Xie Ying is missing?"
Luo Ran came to her senses slightly and guessed based on the few words she had just heard.
Chunyu said angrily: "Yes. Just now the little maid next to her came over and said that she took a nap, and Miss Xie disappeared. I searched the yard and surroundings, but no one was seen."
Luo Ran frowned slightly.
Chun Yu continued: "How can a good living person disappear out of thin air? The people serving them are also sleeping worse than their masters!"
Youqing glanced at Luo Ran's face, winked at Chunyu and said: "Princess, don't worry, I have asked the little maid to ask the abbot for help. After all, Fahua Temple is a royal temple, and nothing has happened in all these years. , I think Miss Xie must have been tired from somewhere, and no one noticed for a moment."
Luo Ran always felt that something was slightly wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
At this moment, he no longer felt sleepy. While letting Youqing help him change his clothes, he asked, "Where is my aunt? Are you back?"
Youqing said: "Madam is back. She just came over to see you sleeping, so she went to the room next to you to rest."
Luo Ran had just put on his clothes when Mrs. Wang heard the news and came over, her face full of anxiety: "Has the person been found?"
Luo Ran shook his head: "Not yet."
Wang also said: "There shouldn't be bad guys, right? The temple has been strictly guarded these years, and ordinary people can't get in. Unless..."
Unless you leave the temple and go to the wild mountains behind, there is no control over it.
Luo Ran knew Wang's worries and said: "Don't worry, aunt, Xie Ying has an injury on her foot and she shouldn't be able to walk that far. You sit down first and I'll go take a look."
Wang couldn't sit still and said, "Let me go with you. We are here together. If something happens, no one can escape the responsibility."
This is why Luo Ran has to take care of it.
After the host heard about it, he took it seriously, but because it was a matter of reputation for the woman, he didn't dare to make a big deal about it, so he could only send a young novice to look for it privately.
I just searched around and found nothing.
The little maid was so frightened that she could no longer stand. She fell to the ground and cried: "Miss, where are you? Come out quickly. I beg you..."
Luo Ran's forehead pounded because of her noise.
The so-called house leak happened to be raining all night. Before Xie Ying could find it here, God started to rain lightly again.
Luo Ran knew that his aunt had just recovered from the heat a few days ago, so he insisted on letting her go back to her room to rest, and promised: "Don't worry, aunt, I will let you know as soon as there is news."
Wang was also worried that her health was not good and she had to let Luo Ran worry about her, so she gave instructions again and again before returning to the house.
After returning home, I was still restless. I ordered people to go out to have a look and make inquiries, but I always came back disappointed.
Youqing and Chunyu are also worried about Luo Ran's health.
Luo Ran didn't try to be brave and said to Chun Yu: "You are smart and have fast legs and feet. Go and look for them. Just don't go too far and don't go to dangerous places."
Chunyu nodded and said to Youqing: "Take good care of the princess!"
Youqing solemnly agreed.
In the spring rain, I put on my coir raincoat and ran into the rain.
Luo Ran couldn't sit still when he returned to the house at this time. He was afraid that no one would notice Xie Ying's return, so he walked slowly around the corridor and looked around from time to time.
Youqing saw that the rain was going to get heavier, so he said, "Princess, let's go back and add some clothes. Be careful of catching a cold."
Luo Ran nodded: "Okay."
The master and servant walked back along the corridor. Suddenly, Youqing pointed to the trees in the distance and said excitedly: "Princess, did you just see it?"
Luo Ran nodded. Just now she thought she was dazzled and saw it wrong. Now that You Qingdu saw it, it means she saw it right.
Youqing: "I remember that Miss Xie was wearing that color dress when she came here."
"Come on, let's go over and take a look."
Luo Ran said when he saw that it wasn't too remote over there.
You Qing said: "Princess, please wait a moment while I go get my coir raincoat."
Luo Ran: "Okay! Go back quickly, I'll keep an eye on you."
Youqing left quickly.
Luo Ran's eyes were always fixed on the place where the figure had just flashed, and he did not dare to move.
As soon as Youqing left, Luo Ran heard a sweet shout: "Stop!"
It’s Xie Ying’s voice!
Then there was a burst of noisy footsteps.
Luo Ran looked around, but there was no novice monk there. He was anxious and looked back in the direction Youqing left. He followed the corridor to the other side, but did not dare to go far.
The surroundings were quiet, as if the sound just now was just her illusion.
Luo Ran looked up and found that not far away was the hall where she and Xie Ying had been before.
After staring at the door of the main hall for a while, he saw nothing. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Xie Ying suddenly come out of the main hall, almost soaked by the rain.
Luo Ran breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the person. Just when she was about to speak, she saw Xie Ying shouting to her: "Cousin! Wait for me here!"
As he said that, he turned around and walked along the corridor outside the hall to the other side.
At this time, Luo Ran was so angry that he wanted to curse, and shouted: "Come back!"
But no one agreed.
Luo Ran had no choice but to run quickly and arrive in front of the main hall. At this time, Xie Ying ran to nowhere.
The rain was blown into the corridor by the wind, and the tips of Luo Ran's shoes were a little wet. At this time, she did not dare to chase Xie Ying anymore, so she had to step back and stand in the main hall to take shelter from the rain. He didn't dare to go too far in, fearing that Youqing would come back later and not see her.
While looking outside, Luo Ran suddenly heard a voice behind her. She thought it was Xie Ying. She turned around, swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips, and frowned: "Why is it you? Why are you here?"
