Chapter 718 Punishment
Several people searched separately, and Bi Yuntao went straight to Su Di. According to Grandma Zhang, the only time Sister Xue enjoyed the scenery after arriving in Hangzhou was yesterday along the Sudi Causeway. If she came out on her own initiative, she must have been on this line.
It was already dusk when we went out. There were already sparsely populated areas on Su Causeway, and all the lively scenes during the day had disappeared. Walking on the Su Causeway, the breeze blowing from the lake brought a chill, which made Bi Yuntao feel chilly. It was very different from the mood he felt yesterday morning.
A melodious and loud bell sounded from the other side. Looking at the time, this should be the famous Nanping Evening Bell among the ten scenic spots of West Lake.
There are many rocky caves at the foot of Nanping Mountain. The large and small temples headed by Jingci Temple ring the evening bell at dusk, forming a resonance in the large and small caves. They fly over the West Lake and reach the other side of the West Lake. They hit the Geling Ridge made of igneous rocks on the other side, and then echo. Stacked up one after another, the famous Nanping Evening Bell is formed.
Bi Yuntao was so anxious at this moment that he had no intention of listening to the sound of the bell. He kept walking and looking around.
Although this Su Causeway is long, you can tell at a glance if there are any traces of people there. Bi Yuntao walked along, and nowhere could he see the shadow of Xue Ruyue.
What's going on? Sister Xue was supposed to be the one leading the group outing, but why did the group leader disappear at this moment? He sighed inwardly.
Even crossing the Sixth Bridge of Sudi, my heart grew colder and colder as I walked. There was not even a shadow of a ghost, let alone a living person.
"Sister Xue, Sister Xue..." It was getting late anyway, so Bi Yuntao raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Sister Xue, Xue Ruyue, Xue Ruyue..."
Seeing that he had arrived in front of Lingyin Temple Chong'en Xianqin Temple, but still no one was seen, Bi Yuntao became more and more cold and desperate.
It was already dark, and there were already very few pilgrims in Lingyin Temple's Chong'en Xianren Zen Temple. With the last glimmer of hope, Bi Yuntao grabbed a sweeping monk and said, "Excuse me, young master, are there any female donors in your temple?"
"Amitabha." The monk hurriedly announced a Buddha's name and said: "Donors must not talk nonsense. This temple is a pure place of Buddhism. Where can there be such filthy things."
Damn it, is the female benefactor filthy? You monk, you don’t know where your mind is. Bi Yuntao was about to turn around and leave when he heard the monk say: "There is also a devout female Bodhisattva offering incense in the Medicine King Hall. I wonder if she is the person the donor is looking for?"
Anyone else? Bi Yuntao suddenly became energetic. After asking for the direction of Yaowang Palace, he hurried there. When I arrived at the threshold of the main hall, I saw a plump and rich woman, kneeling respectfully in front of the Five Hundred Arhats Stand, kowtowing and offering incense. She was so pious that people couldn't bear to look at her.
God, Buddha, thank you, I finally found it. Bi Yuntao sat on the threshold, looking at Sister Xue, angry and funny, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Xue Ruyue heard the movement behind her and saw a person sitting behind her. It was already dusk, but she couldn't see clearly for a while, so she screamed in fright.
Bi Yuntao was angry and funny at the same time. He said angrily: "What's your name? Hurry up and worship your Bodhisattva and come home with me."
Xue Ruyue heard his voice and said happily: "Bi Yuntao, why are you here?" Then a blush appeared on her cheeks, "Why should I follow you home? How could you say such frivolous words in front of this Buddhist hall? Let me If Buddha hears it, it will be bad."
The blush on her cheeks is as delicate as a flower, so beautiful, filling this lonely and dim Buddhist hall with a different kind of brilliance.
Bi Yuntao sighed and said: "Sister Xue, I don't know what Buddha will do if he hears this, but I know that you left without saying goodbye this time, but it made us very worried."
"Ah!" Xue Ruyue realized that the sky had turned dark at some point, "Why is it at this hour?"
Bi Yuntao was a little dizzy. He quickly brushed his forehead and bowed to the Bodhisattva Buddha. Is there any need to sacrifice life and death like this? Why didn't he even notice that the sky was getting dark?
Since taking over the family business, this is the first time that she has done something wrong like this. Xue Ruyue couldn't help but blush, "I just came out to offer incense and worship Buddha, and I forgot about it for a moment. I didn't expect that it was already so late and I worried you all." .”
Seeing that Bi Yuntao was silent, he didn't need to think about it to know that Bi Yuntao was very angry now. Xue Ruyue also understood that this was indeed her fault. She lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. She came to Bi Yuntao, took his hand and whispered: "Brother Tao, don't be angry. I'll do it next time." You won’t have to worry anymore.”
This call of Brother Tao made Bi Yuntao very satisfied, and he couldn't help but feel a little elated, but thinking that this matter was not a trivial matter, he quickly straightened his face and said: "Sister Xue, it doesn't matter if you are a little late, but you must at least inform us first. You are coming. Xiang, we will just accompany you. Do you know how anxious I am? I almost had to report to the official."
"I know I was wrong. Brother Tao, don't be angry anymore, okay?" Xue Ruyue said coquettishly. There are no outsiders here anyway, so calling him Brother Tao won't be ignored.
"Hmph." Bi Yuntao snorted and said: "For the sake of your good attitude in admitting your mistake, I will spare you this time. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. I will punish you by calling me Brother Tao from now on."
"Ah?" Xue Ruyue cried sadly, and the blush on her face became a little deeper. "Can you give me a discount? There are no outsiders here, so it's okay for people to call you. But if I have to call you Tao in front of outsiders...Brother Tao...how can I say it out loud?" He said the last word in a low voice. It's pitiful, even though Bi Yuntao was so close, he almost couldn't hear him clearly.
Bi Yuntao knew very well that one bite cannot make you fat, and it needs to be gradual, so he pretended to be thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and said: "Then as you said, when we are alone in the future, you will call me Brother Tao, so I will Forgive you."
"Well..." Xue Ruyue's cheeks were rosy, and she still wanted to fight for something, but she saw Bi Yuntao's eyes turned cold and said: "If you are bargaining, I won't help you tell the lie to Madam after you go back. To Madam Tell the truth and let her beat you."
"Ah? Mother also knows?" Xue Ruyue's face was full of bitterness, and she suddenly lost her desire to bargain.
"Then what do you think?" Bi Yuntao said playfully: "I haven't seen you back for a long time. You can't hide such a big thing even if you want to. Now there will be a good show when you go back." The last sentence obviously brought out the meaning. He was gloating about his misfortune and looking like he was watching a good show.
Damn you bastard! Seeing Bi Yuntao's appearance and tone, Xue Ruyue cursed in her heart. This bastard was obviously trying to intimidate and lure her into submission, so she could obediently let herself call him Brother Tao. This bastard was really hateful.
"Then, let's make an agreement." Xue Ruyue said with evasive eyes: "You help me lie to the side and successfully appease my mother, so I will call you Brother Tao when you and I are alone in private. "The last two words, Brother Tao, were as thin as a mosquito's sound, and they were swaying. They were completely different from the one when he just admitted his mistake.
