Chapter 170 The Flower Thief in Guanyin Temple

Chapter 170 The Flower Thief in Guanyin Temple
Outside the window, the night is getting darker.

It was a chilly night in late autumn, and those who stayed up late chanting sutras in the hall were all cold and tired.

Even with thick clothes, I still couldn't bear it.

The four major families took turns to change people, light incense and chant scriptures, and did not dare to slack off.

Those who were replaced only dared to rest in the corner.

Poor maids and servants outside, they could only wait outside, shivering in the cold wind in the middle of the night, and dared not go anywhere.

However, some young masters and maids who have no status in the mansion can leave and find rooms to rest.

Jia Tanchun and her sisters also knelt in front of the Guanyin statue and chanted scriptures.

Lin Daiyu had just caught a cold outside and was coughing constantly. She was frail and sick, so she naturally couldn't stay up late. She took her maid to the side room to rest.

Luo Zijun has no name or status, so naturally he doesn't need to stay up late to pretend.

But he didn't dare sleep.

Even though this place was very safe and nothing would go wrong, he still remained alert.

He asked Zhiyuan to go and rest first, and he prepared to read a book all night.

Zhiyuan said, "My master doesn't want to sleep, so why should I go to sleep? I am not sleepy either, so I will stay here with you, Master."

So there was a master and a servant, one was reading a book at the table, and the other was daydreaming beside him.

Seeing that she was bored, Luo Zijun took out a book from his storage bag, handed it to her, and said, "How about you read a book too?"

Zhi Yuan took the book, glanced at the title, and her face changed slightly: "A Chinese Ghost Story? Is it the story about the love between a human and a ghost that you wrote? I am afraid of ghosts. Every time I see a ghost about to appear, I dare not read it."

Luo Zijun said: "It's not scary at all, just look."

Zhiyuan saw that the night was long and there was nothing to do except reading, so she could only say, "Okay, then I will read for a while."

Just as she read a few pages, her face tense and her heart uneasy, Luo Zijun suddenly leaned close to her ear quietly and shouted "Ah".

Zhiyuan was so frightened that she screamed and jumped up from her place, and dropped the book in her hand to the ground.

Luo Zijun held back his laughter and continued reading.

Zhiyuan stood aside, stroking her chest, and said with lingering fear: "Young Master, you are so bad. You almost scared me to death..."

"How cowardly."

Luo Zijun teased, paused, put down the book, stood up and said: "I'm going to go out for a while."

He went over, opened the door, and was about to go out when he suddenly stopped.

Looking at the darkness outside and feeling the silence in the temple, that lingering shadow suddenly came again.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Zhiyuan saw him standing at the door in a daze and asked in confusion.

Luo Zijun stood at the door for a while, then turned around and said, "Zhiyuan, stay with me."

Zhi Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly burst into laughter, walked over and said, "Young Master, you just said that I was timid, but it turns out that you are even more timid."

Luo Zijun was a little embarrassed and explained: "I'm just afraid of stepping on a snake."

Zhiyuan walked in front with a smile, looking down attentively.

The two of them walked down the corridor and were about to go through the round door to the toilet at the back when Luo Zijun felt it was a bit far and unsafe, so he quickly said, "Just go to the corner of the flower bed over there."

Zhiyuan said "Oh", walked over, walked back and forth in the corner several times, and said: "Sir, there is no snake, come over quickly."

When Luo Zijun passed by, she was ready to leave.

Luo Zijun quickly took her hand and said, "Zhiyuan, don't leave. Wait for me next to you."

Zhiyuan made another "puff" sound, turned around and said with a smile: "Then I will be waiting for you, sir."

Luo Zijun looked around again before turning his back and going to the bathroom.

He didn’t know if it was because there was someone next to him or because he was nervous thinking about what happened before, but he didn’t pee for a long time.

But he was obviously feeling uncomfortable.

Zhiyuan waited for a while, and said with a smile: "Sir, I will go further away and wait for you."

"No, right here."

For some reason, the more this happened, the more uneasy Luo Zijun felt.

After a while, he finally urinated.

Hearing the "swish swish" sound, two blushes rose on Zhiyuan's face next to her, and she suddenly felt the urge to go to the bathroom.

After Luo Zijun peed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhiyuan, let's go back."

Zhiyuan turned around and said shyly, "Sir, please go back first. I also want to go to the bathroom."

"Oh."

Luo Zijun was stunned for a moment, ready to go back by himself. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said quickly: "Zhiyuan, it's convenient for you. I'll wait for you here."

The two must not be separated.

The previous two times, he was ambushed when he was alone.

Although it seems safe this time, he still needs to be careful.

He felt a little regretful. Why didn't he get intimate with Xiaohuan last night? Knowing that he was going out today, he should have given everything to Xiaohuan last night.

Zhiyuan said shyly: "Master, you are here, I...I can't pee..."

Luo Zijun said: "It's okay, I couldn't pee just now, just squat and it will come out."

Zhiyuan: "..."

"Oh fine……"

We are all family anyway, why be shy?

Zhiyuan took a few steps forward, turned her back, and prepared to undress. After thinking for a moment, she quickly turned around, faced him, and began to undress and tie her belt.

There was sudden silence in the corner.

Luo Zijun waited for a while, and seeing no movement behind him, he quickly asked, "Zhiyuan, are you still there?"

There was no response from behind. Luo Zijun was startled and turned around hastily. He immediately grabbed a handful of lime and tightened his legs, ready to jump and escape.

It was at this moment that the kite finally came out after much anticipation.

"Zi..."

"Wow..."

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although it was dark, I was standing close enough and there was moonlight outside, so I could still see it.

"It's okay, you continue."

Luo Zijun quickly turned around again, with his back to her, heaved a sigh of relief, and quietly put away the lime powder in his hand.

Zhiyuan blushed, and after he finished, he stood up, tied his belt, and said, "Sir, are you so afraid of the dark?"

Luo Zijun felt bitter, but he had nowhere to say it, so he could only say, "I was scared when I was a child."

Zhiyuan came behind him, was quiet for a moment, and suddenly stretched out her arms, gently hugged him from behind, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, young master, I will protect you in the future."

Luo Zijun turned around and looked at her beautiful and tender face and her charming eyes. He hesitated and struggled for a long time, then gently stroked her soft hair and said, "Zhiyuan, the young master suddenly has an unreasonable request. I hope you can help."

Zhi Yuan raised her pretty face with a blush on it and said softly, "Sir, please tell me, even if you want me to die, I will be willing to do so."

"It's not that serious."

Luo Zijun rubbed her little head, and then gently stroked her pink little mouth with his fingers, and said: "Young Master just brought a lot of precious things out, and he was afraid that it was not safe here and that they would be stolen by others, so now he wants to secretly give them all to you. Are you willing to help the young master keep them?"

Zhiyuan nodded quickly: "I am willing."

Luo Zijun looked around again, and the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt. So without further hesitation, he whispered, "Let's go to the shadow in the corner over there and squat down to talk. There are too many things, and you can't take them all at once. You may have to divide them several times."

Zhiyuan looked solemn and quickly walked to the corner.

Luo Zijun followed her to the shadow of the corner, and looked around vigilantly for a long time before biting her ear and whispering, "Are you ready?"

"Ah."

Kite said softly.

at the same time.

In another room, bursts of delicate coughing were heard.

Lin Daiyu was wrapped in a thick quilt, coughing and crying, with tears in her eyes, which was sad and beautiful.

Zijuan, Xueyan and Chunxian cried beside her bed and tried to persuade her not to think too much.

Lin Daiyu smiled sadly and said, "I thought that after my father passed away, I came to the Jia Mansion and had someone to rely on, but today I know that this is a den of tigers and wolves. Even my second sister, my own flesh and blood, has ended up in such a miserable situation. How can my fate, as an outsider, be any better?"

Zijuan wiped her tears and said, "Miss, you still have the ancestors to protect you."

Lin Daiyu laughed bitterly and said, "Can the old ancestor protect me forever? My second sister was raised by the old ancestor himself, and the relationship is much deeper than mine. But when the time comes, will it be of any use? After all, the one who is in charge of the Jia family is still the one who inherited the title. After hearing what he said today and seeing the evil things he did, I can be sure that the Jia family will not last long."

At this time, Xueyan suddenly said, "Miss, isn't Mr. Luo very accurate in fortune-telling? How about asking him to tell fortunes for you, too?"

Lin Daiyu was silent for a moment, then said, "I heard from my second sister that he took the initiative to tell fortunes for her. Perhaps he saw her fate. As for the others, he may not know."

Chun Xian said, "Miss, just go and try. If you are embarrassed, I will go and ask for you tomorrow."

Lin Daiyu thought for a moment and said nothing.

At this time, the night was already dark.

In the main hall in front, the people from the Shi family and Xue were keeping vigil and chanting scriptures.

Others were in the corners, meditating, closing their eyes to rest, or lying on the ground to rest.

Outside, the cold is even stronger.

The bright moon in the night sky was also covered by a dark cloud and disappeared.

Luo Zijun returned to the room and lay on the bed for a while, wanting to sleep, but after thinking about it, he still felt a little uneasy, so he had to sit up and continue reading.

When Zhiyuan came back, he felt a little drowsy.

Luo Zijun said: "Go to sleep, don't worry about me."

People do want to sleep after eating and drinking, especially at this late hour.

Zhiyuan did not refuse this time. She said "Oh" with a red face, and lay down on the bed obediently. She touched her bloated belly, and fell asleep after a while.

Luo Zijun continued reading the book. After a while, he yawned and felt a little sleepy.

"This is in the inner city, and outside the palace. There are patrolling soldiers everywhere. What are you afraid of?"

"Besides, it's still a period of national mourning."

"Even if that thief is very brave, there is no way he can come out tonight."

Luo Zijun struggled for a while, but couldn't resist the sleepiness anymore, so he lay down next to the mat and prepared to sleep.

After thinking about random things for a while, I soon fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he slept, but he suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately opened his eyes.

However, the eyes can no longer see.

A black cloth had covered his eyes at some point.

His hands were also tied up.

And it seemed that he had no clothes on him, and was covered with a quilt.

Besides him, there was another person in the quilt.
