Hearing the abbot's words, Xiao Ruyun seemed to be relieved, with a slight smile on her face: "Thank you, master abbot."
"Miss Xiao, you're welcome. Please come inside." the abbot invited.
The four people followed the abbot to the wing of the temple and prepared a sumptuous vegetarian meal for the four of them. After eating the vegetarian meal, Xiao Ruyun led the three of them to visit the temple.
"Hua Hua Hua"
The green mountain stream splashed with white pearls. A pavilion was located on the mountain stream. Xiao Ruyun stopped at the pavilion, put her jade hands on her waist, looked at the temple below the pavilion, sighed softly, and turned around He sat down, tilted his head slightly, pursed his lips, took a breath and said, "Actually...my mother is Shen Moyu's adopted sister!"
"What? You said Aunt Qu is Shen Moyu's... adopted sister?" Tang Wanting opened her eyes wide and shouted in disbelief.
Even Tang Jing and Wu Yi were surprised and didn't know what to say.
Xiao Ruyun nodded: "My father never mentioned my mother's affairs, and he never let Yingjun and I ask about my mother, so I almost only know that my mother's name is Qu Ruolan. Even my mother is Shen Moyu's adopted sister. Once when I accompanied my mother here to offer incense, I saw other children playing with their uncles, so I asked my mother why I don’t have an uncle. That’s when my mother told me that I have an uncle named Shen Moyu.”
Wu Yi nodded and suddenly understood. He leaned against the fence of the pavilion, put his arms flat on the fence, crossed his legs, and thought: "I understand, no wonder you were acting weird when you first went up the mountain. You were worried about your aunt and your third wife." It’s related to my brother’s matter.”
Xiao Ruyun smiled faintly and explained: "Well, my mother rarely goes out except to teach me how to read and write. She only comes to this temple every three months."
"No wonder you are worried that your aunt is here to meet other people. Are you at ease now?" Tang Wanting also understood, sat down next to Xiao Ruyun, nodded and smiled.
Wu Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, smiled faintly, and analyzed: "Actually, Ruyun, you don't have to worry. Think about it carefully, have you ever seen Shen Moyu in so many years? You must not have, so I guess that although the aunt is Shen Moyu's Sister-in-law, but I believe there must be some problem in their relationship. Since there is a problem in their relationship, I believe that my aunt must not know what Shen Moyu did."
"Second brother is right, Ruyun, you don't have to worry, we all believe in Auntie." Tang Jing looked at Xiao Ruyun, nodded in agreement.
"Thank you." Xiao Ruyun pursed her lips and smiled, feeling very happy in her heart.
Looking at Xiao Ruyun's sweet look, Tang Jing scratched his head and smiled stupidly: "Hey, Ruyun, don't be so polite. It sounds like you are doing us a favor."
"Well..." Xiao Ruyun smiled softly at Tang Jing, her eyebrows seemed affectionate, and her watery eyes made Tang Jing feel a ripple in his heart, as if there was a little deer running around in his heart.
Wu Yi knew Qu Ruolan's identity and became more curious. He couldn't help but smile and asked: "Besides these, what else do you know?"
Xiao Ruyun pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her eyebrows, shook her head slightly, and recalled: "I don't remember much about my mother, I just vaguely remember that my mother knew martial arts, and she seemed to be very powerful, and my mother told me, She doesn’t believe in Buddhism, that’s why I have this suspicion.”
"Oh, this is strange. If you don't believe in Buddhism, why do you have to come here to fast for a few days every three months?" Wu Yi put away his arms with a thoughtful look on his face.
Xiao Ruyun sighed softly, shook her head and said, "I'm not sure about this either. I remember I asked my mother, but she just said she wanted to come here to relax."
"Then what should we do next?" Tang Wanting asked, blinking her big watery eyes.
Wu Yi held up his hands, was silent for a moment, and analyzed: "Since others already know what we are going to do, we might as well go ahead and do it, but we can't put too much pressure on them, let alone be taken advantage of. , so I think it’s better for us to be more casual. Since we’re all here, we might as well rest here for a few days and talk.”
Tang Wanting nodded slowly, bit her jade finger with her red lips, and said thoughtfully: "Second brother is right."
"Uncle doesn't want to say, why don't we ask my dad? Maybe my dad knows." Tang Jing stood in the middle, looked down at the three of them, and asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, even if my uncle was in Huayu Village at the time, he might know something about it." Tang Wanting stood up happily, patted Tang Jing's arm, and said excitedly: "Such a good idea, why didn't you say it earlier? .”
Xiao Ruyun said nothing and looked at Wu Yi. Wu Yi lowered his head slightly, stared at the ground, frowned and shook his head: "No, Uncle Tang will not tell us. In fact... I have thought about it, Uncle Xiao and Uncle Tang, they may also be one of the chess players, and they should be on the same line."
Tang Jing looked sideways at Wu Yi and said with some disbelief: "My father? But didn't he say that Tangjiabao will not participate in these power struggles?"
Wu Yi looked up at Tang Jing, stood up, put his hand gently on Tang Jing's shoulder, leaned against Tang Jing, smiled faintly, and explained to Tang Jing sideways: "The scope of this game must be beyond ours. It may involve more than just power. Although Tangjiabao does not participate in the power struggle, it is still the overlord in the world. It is necessary and inevitable for Uncle Tang to participate. This is not surprising. "
Tang Jing seemed to understand, nodded, and glanced at Wu Yi: "Second brother, what you are saying is that my father and Uncle Xiao were worried that we would be involved and did not want us to be in danger, so they deliberately did not tell us?"
Wu Yi nodded, stood up straight, looked slightly solemn, frowned and thought: "That should be the case, or there may be other reasons."
"But..." Xiao Ruyun hesitated, looked at Wu Yi, and said with some worry: "If we are followed by those people, will it bring danger to the monks in the temple?"
Wu Yi hesitated for a moment: "Um...I didn't expect this. Now those people are unknown and it's really dangerous for us to be around, so we'd better rest for a while and go down the mountain."
When Tang Wanting heard this, she inadvertently thought of the nightmare in the morning, and said reluctantly: "Ah! Can't we just have a night's rest before leaving?"
For the safety of the monks in the temple, the four of them rested for a while in the temple, said goodbye to the abbot, and went down the mountain. When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, it was already dark. After resting for a night, the four of them headed towards the place where Qu Ruolan's carriage fell off the cliff. Place to go.
