Chapter 552 The Suspicious Maid

"Boss, look, there is blood on the thorns and vines over there. I guess that girl ran away from here." The voice of a strange man came from above his head, as if he was talking next to him.

Li Meier's face turned pale, but she still controlled herself not to make a sound.

Baozi's face was a little paler than Li Meier's. Her mouth was still covered, but her teeth were trembling uncontrollably.

"Boss, shall we chase them out now?" the man asked again.

The man he called the boss seemed to ponder for a while, before he said: "This place is full of thorns and vines, she should not be far away, I will go find a sickle, let's go directly to the back to check."

The man at the front should have nodded, and the sound of their footsteps gradually left the window.

Li Meier kept listening with her ears upright. She cautiously leaned out from under the window sill when she heard the sound of the door being closed. There was no sound of breathing in the room, so enduring the pain in his feet, he quickly crawled back into the meditation room.

Baozi was frightened to the point of confusion at the moment, she would do whatever Li Meier did.The master and servant returned to the meditation room.The fire outside had already been extinguished, but the meditation room was still sealed with thick smoke.

Li Meier quickly moistened the handkerchief with tea, covered her mouth and nose, pulled the buns and rushed outside.

This time, the luck of the two of them was not bad at last, they escaped from the door smoothly, the master and the servant did not dare to stay, fearing that those thieves would turn back again.

"Miss, who were those people just now? Are they looking for us?" Baozi still looked scared, and asked Li Meier while running.

Li Mei'er didn't have time to explain to her right now, from the brief words of those people just now, she guessed that Sun Xiaowu and Lu Zhiwei should be caught by them.Now the two of them don't know what's going on.

Li Meier felt that she had caused them trouble, but Lu Zhiwei would not say anything, she must save Sun Xiaowu.But there is still one thing she can't figure out, how could the meditation room suddenly burst into water, the fire was really strange, but it wasn't set by those people, could it be really an accident?
Li Meier frowned, subconsciously felt that the possibility of accident was very small, so who set the fire?
Li Meier felt that she was really in danger now, so she took Baozi to hide in a secret place first, thought for a while, and then told Baozi: "Go to Master Abbot now, let daylilies come over, and by the way, bring the day lilies to the temple. The monk called over."

Li Mei'er thought, there was so much movement of the water here, but no monk came over, it is estimated that the monks near the Buddhist monastery were all controlled by that group of people.

It's also because the Tantuo Temple is too big. The distance between the main hall in the front and the temple in the back mountain is a bit far, and there is a large bamboo forest in between. So something happened in the temple, and I didn't know it for so long.

Li Mei'er groaned in her heart for a while, and thought of her grandmother and mother at the abbot's place, and felt a little relieved. Fortunately, her grandmother and the others will not be in any danger for the time being.

"What about you, miss? Aren't you going to find the old lady and the wife with the slave?" Baozi was naturally worried about leaving Li Meier alone, and asked, shaking his head.

"I'm going to find Miss Sun and the others. Don't worry, those thieves are looking for us from behind. They won't think of me here for a while. Hurry up! They will be even more dangerous if it is late!" Li Meier frowned. urged.

Baozi struggled for a while, then listened to Li Meier's words, and quickly ran towards the bamboo forest ahead.

After she left, Li Meier quickly walked towards the latrine. The two of them went to the latrine just now, so they must have been arrested nearby.

But before she took a few steps, she saw a light blue figure running towards the outside of the bamboo forest not far away in a panic.

Li Meier frowned, that figure looked familiar.She didn't have time to think about who that person was, so she trotted after him.

Although Li Meier's foot was injured, her running speed was still not slow, and the person in front stumbled in panic, and was caught up by Li Meier not long after.

As the distance got closer, Li Meier saw clearly the clothes of the person in front, and finally recognized that this person was a maid beside Lu Zhiwei.Why is she here?Did you escape?
Li Meier was puzzled and anxious, so she called out, "Hey! Stop!"

The servant girl glanced back, seeing that it was Li Meier, her expression changed drastically, as if she had seen a ghost, not only did she not stop, but she accelerated her speed.

Seeing her reaction, Li Mei'er couldn't help frowning. There is something wrong with this maid.The two ran and chased, and soon entered the bamboo forest. Seeing that Li Meier couldn't catch up, she simply stopped chasing, picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it directly at the maidservant's calf.

Li Meier has been learning some tricks of attacking people from Hemerocallis recently, and hurting people with stones is one of them. She has good eyesight and strength, so she really learned this trick well.

The small stone hit the servant girl's calf very accurately, and the servant girl suffered pain and fell to the mud floor in an instant. The fall was not light, and the servant girl didn't get up for a long time.

When Li Meier walked to her side, she was still lying on the ground humming.

Li Meier looked at her condescendingly, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did you run away when you saw me?"

The servant girl propped herself up with her hands and managed to get up from the ground, but she didn't dare to look into Li Meier's eyes. Perhaps she felt that Li Meier would not do anything to her, so she said stiffly: "I... I didn't run away until I saw you. Yes, I ran to find someone quickly..."

"Looking for someone? Why?" Li Meier asked again with a half-smile.

The maid immediately stopped talking, even though she lowered her eyes and couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, she could feel her nervousness at the moment.

"I don't think you are going to find someone, but you escaped by yourself against the master?" Li Meier squinted her eyes, and pierced the maid with a single sentence.

The servant girl really had a ghost in her heart, and immediately defended herself: "No, I was looking for someone to save Miss and the others!"

Li Mei'er didn't believe her excuse, but asked contemptuously: "Your lady was restrained by thieves, how did you escape, could it be that...you were not with her at the time? You are a personal maid, Where did you go then?"

The servant girl's face changed suddenly, obviously she was hit by what Li Meier said, she hesitated for a while, and then said firmly: "Miss sent me to do other things at that time, when I went back, I found that Miss and the others had gone out That's why I hurried out to find someone..."

Li Mei'er didn't know what to think of, her eyes suddenly froze, and her eyes suddenly became dangerous when she looked at the maid, could it be... is that what she thought?
