Chapter 1292 Ninth Life Reincarnation 12
"Little beggar, how far is it?"
"It's early!"
The tunnel was dark, damp, and had a sour smell. The eldest lady could only rely on her senses and try her best to follow the beggar's footsteps.
"Little beggar, are you almost here?" After a while, the eldest lady couldn't help but ask.
"Not half yet!"
When the eldest lady heard this, she was very discouraged and simply stopped.
The beggar crawled out some distance and felt that the other party was not following him. Strangely, he heard faint sobbing from behind.
He had to back away slowly.
"Little beggar, I can't crawl anymore."
"Do...what?"
"Let me give you a hand!"
The eldest lady thought for a moment and stretched her hand forward.
The beggar couldn't see her, so he touched her hand in the air for a long time before he caught her hand.
Her palms were very cold, but very soft.
The beggar didn't dare to think too much and pulled her hard.
The eldest lady used her strength to rush forward and threw herself on the beggar.
The passage is too narrow for two people to walk side by side, but the height is okay.
"What are you doing?" The beggar was knocked down and his back hit the hard ground. He gasped in pain.
The eldest lady lay on top of him without any intention of leaving.
She was thinking in her mind, why did this sloppy little beggar not smell sour, but instead had a faint fragrance?
Bah, bah, bah, what do I want with these?
Although he was a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but think for a while that even if the little beggar hadn't dug out such a secret passage by himself, he knew Puguang Temple so well that it would be really difficult for him to come in and out countless times.
What am I thinking? Am I pitying him? No, no, this is his business, what does it have to do with me?
The eldest lady was thinking wildly, surrounded by various emotions such as fear, anger, and grievance. She couldn't control it anymore and cried "Wow".
The beggar wanted to blame her, but he just wanted to pull her back, but he didn't let her do this. Now that he was completely unable to use his strength, how could he move forward? But as soon as he heard the other party crying, he immediately became at a loss.
He stretched out his hand as if to hug her, but stopped as soon as he reached the air and did not dare to move again.
"Hit you, beat you, beat you!" The eldest lady cried even more sadly, beating the beggar's chest with her hands.
She beat him really hard, and the beggar felt that his internal organs were shaken.
"Don't cry." He finally found the courage, put his hand on her back, and said softly.
The eldest lady's body trembled slightly, but her crying gradually stopped.
She leaned against the beggar, and the beggar hugged her gently, and the two of them were silent.
"Um... you... you won't... won't fall in love with me, right?"
After a long time, the beggar suddenly made a joke, but he regretted it as soon as he said it. It was too abrupt.
"You think so!" The eldest lady scolded like a frightened rabbit, and her body quickly fell down. However, because the passage was too narrow, the two of them still maintained their embrace.
"Let's go, we should be almost at the exit." Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the beggar said hurriedly.
"Didn't you just say that you're not halfway done yet?"
The beggar was speechless.
The two were silent again.
"Little beggar, I can't walk anymore, can you carry me on your back?" After a while, the eldest lady suddenly said.
Carry you on my back? Wouldn't that kill me?
He wanted to return home, but the beggar couldn't bear to refuse.
"Don't move, I'll turn over first."
The beggar turned over with great difficulty, and then said to the eldest lady: "Come up, be careful to hit the stone wall."
The eldest lady softly said "Yeah", slowly climbed up his back, and subconsciously hugged his neck tightly with her hands.
"You are trying to strangle me to death!" The beggar suddenly found it difficult to breathe and complained.
"I..." Seeing his unkind tone, the eldest lady was about to get angry, but after thinking about it, she let it go and relaxed her hands slightly.
The eldest lady's body was very light and soft, but the beggar felt like he was carrying a big mountain on his back. It became more and more difficult, his speed became slower and slower, and sweat poured out of his face.
Suddenly, he smelled a scent, but it was the eldest lady who took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. A warmth surged in his heart, and he immediately became lively again.
At a certain moment, he felt a burning sensation on his back, as if he had an illusion that the place he was in was not this dark and damp tunnel.
If he didn't need to use both hands and feet, he would even want to reach out his hand backwards. Of course, he was doing this to prevent the eldest lady from falling from behind him, and he had absolutely no other dirty thoughts.
The eldest lady did not give him such a chance. She hugged him tightly, constantly adjusting herself along the way. Sometimes, she would even land on the ground with her feet to reduce the pressure on him.
But in this way, the kind of contact is even more imaginative, and the beggar almost has a nosebleed.
A beggar, a young lady, maybe they haven't fully realized that in this short period of time, they have forgotten each other's identity, and their hearts have become closer and closer.
In fact, some people, even if they have rubbed shoulders countless times, are still strangers, while for some people, even if they have only met once, they may be doomed for life.
They didn't know how long it took before they finally saw the light.
The other end of the tunnel is behind Puguang Temple. It is close to the back mountain and there is not a single person in sight.
The eldest lady glanced at Puguang Temple below and suddenly said: "Little beggar, come with me!"
"Why should I go with you?" the beggar asked doubtfully.
"Who asked you to bully me? What if you run away?"
"When did I bully you?" the beggar retorted.
"You dare to say that you didn't bully me?" The eldest lady glared and spoke plausibly.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you." The beggar had no choice but to admit it. No matter how long he argued, he didn't know how long the other party would be entangled in this matter.
"This is ridiculous!"
The eldest lady curled her lips, raised her head, and walked down the mountain first.
She didn't look back at the beggar, she didn't believe he dared not follow him.
…
"father!"
As soon as he entered the general's mansion, he saw a man showing off his fists in the courtyard.
The eldest lady yelled and ran over quickly.
"My precious daughter, how did you do this?" The general only glanced at the beggar not far away. His daughter actually brought a beggar back to his house. Although he was very surprised, his eyes fell on his daughter's dirty face. On the clothes, I just feel extremely distressed.
"Dad, we'll talk about this later. Dad, listen to your daughter..."
The eldest lady kept talking, and the general's face became more and more ugly.
"Dad, go quickly! Otherwise..."
"The bald donkey is looking for death!"
No need for his daughter to remind him, the general knew the truth, especially when he heard that his most beloved third concubine was among them, one can imagine the anger in his chest.
"Baby girl, please wait at home. Daddy will be back soon!"
The general gave an order and rushed out of the general's mansion boldly.
He came back as soon as he said he would go, and in the end, he stayed away for two full months.
On this day, the army surrounded Puguang Temple.
Puguang Temple was filled with blood, and no one, from the abbot to the cooks, was spared.
When the general arrived, his third aunt was having tea with the abbot. She was very panicked when she saw him. They prepared a lot of excuses, but the activities in the dark room were still going on. The facts were in front of him, and he believed in himself even more. The baby girl said that they were not allowed to differentiate at the moment, and they were hacked to death on the spot with two swipes.
The pilgrims didn't know why the army wanted to surround Puguang Temple, but in the face of the military's power, they dared not speak out in anger.
The news is still slow
When the news came out, the expressions of the pilgrims immediately became rich, especially those pilgrims who came with their wives in person. How could they endure it?
For a time, Puguang Temple was in chaos, and the general spent a lot of effort to suppress it.
After thinking about it, I realized that I was too angry and was suspected of overstepping my authority. As a general, killing first and reporting later would make the emperor suspicious, so the general decided to go to the capital immediately.
The capital is not far away and can be reached in a few days.
Precisely because Puguang Temple is not far from the capital, after listening to the general's report, the emperor was very angry. He also heard about Puguang Temple, and even thought about whether to let the concubines in the harem make a wish. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be A place of filth and evil!
The emperor immediately sent relevant personnel to investigate the matter thoroughly, but did not say a word about the general's execution of all the monks in Puguang Temple after beheading him first, and just kept him.
The emperor's kindness was so great that more than a month later, the emperor only warned the general a few words, advised him not to be impatient when encountering difficulties, and then let him return home.
As for Puguang Temple's subsequent series of responses, others will be responsible for it.
…
As soon as he returned to the house, a servant reported that in the past two months, a beggar had been frequently coming in and out of the eldest lady's boudoir.
The general then remembered that his precious daughter did bring a beggar back to his home that day. Could it be that they...
Now, only the beggar knew the inside story. He didn't want to keep this hidden danger. His third concubine was hanging out with the monks in Puguang Temple. This was a great shame for him. He couldn't let other people know about such a thing.
Besides, according to what my servant reported, does my precious daughter like this little beggar? No, absolutely not! How can a beggar get his hands on the golden branches and jade leaves?
The eldest lady met her father in the study.
Before she could inquire about Puguang Temple, the general went straight to the topic.
Unexpectedly, the eldest lady admitted it directly and said that she wanted to marry the beggar as his wife. If he didn't agree, she would elope with the beggar.
The general's heart was in a knot, how could he have given birth to such a stupid daughter?
He slapped her for the first time in his life, and then began to persuade her with sweet words.
The eldest lady argued with reason to protect the beggar's innocence, and he also told everything about her own body without any concealment.
The general knew that he could not convince this precious daughter, so he finally sighed and pretended to agree, but repeatedly warned her not to have too close contact with the beggar for the time being.
The eldest lady obediently agreed and returned to her room happily.
Unexpectedly, two days later, a piece of top-secret news reached the eldest lady's ears, and she felt like a thunderbolt hit her.
"Dad, you lied to me! You lied to me!"
The big and small girls were crying and heartbroken.
It turned out that the general agreed to her request in front of her, but in the blink of an eye, he threw the beggar into the dungeon and severed his hand tendons and hamstrings.
He didn't kill the beggar because he wanted to leave a way out for himself. After he completely convinced his precious daughter, it would not be too late to kill him.
…
"Dad, he is my daughter's savior. Please let your daughter see him! My daughter promises you that after this time, she will never see him again."
The eldest lady knelt in front of the general and begged, which was heartbreaking to hear.
"Baby girl, do you really think so?" The general was overjoyed and quickly helped her up.
"Dad, my daughter never tells a lie."
"Okay, dad promises you, we can give him enough money. In addition, dad promises you that he will have no worries about food and clothing throughout his life. He will even find the best doctor to treat his injuries."
"Thank you, daddy!"
…
The eldest lady entered the dungeon alone. She refused to let the general follow, but the general had no objection.
After half a day, his daughter still hadn't come out. The more the general thought about it, the more something was wrong.
His heart was pounding and he couldn't wait any longer.
In the dungeon, the eldest lady and the beggar hug each other
He fell in a pool of blood, with a blood-stained dagger next to him.
This dagger was a self-defense item given to the eldest lady by the general when she was twelve years old.
The general looked at everything in front of him, and the muscles on his face kept twitching. He regretted a little, regretted that he should not have believed his daughter's words, and regretted that he did not kill the beggar. Read the book
…
A few months later, an imperial edict entered the general's mansion.
The next day, the general rushed to the bitter cold frontier with his family. It was called a garrison, but it was actually an exile.
The general never came back until his death.
This is the seventh reincarnation of Ling Shi and Cheng Zhaoxue.
