Chapter 112 Saved That Person
There were crowds of people in front of the main hall, so Xu Shuyao took two maids to the back of the temple.
The last time I came here, it was a sea of gorgeous peach blossoms, but in the blink of an eye, they had all fallen, and only some soybean-sized peaches were left.
The not-too-dense branches and leaves half-hid several couples near and far, and the sound of low laughter could be heard.
Xu Shuyao's steps forward suddenly stopped.
She looked at the surroundings and remembered the guest house where she lived with the old lady last time.
There is a mulberry tree under the outer wall of the guest house. I wonder if it has produced mulberries yet.
She was agile and familiar with the layout of the temple, so she walked along the meditation rooms at the back of the temple. Gradually, she could only hear the sound of Sanskrit in front of her, or some faint noise.
The two maids were very familiar with the area since they had lived in a temple with her last time. The three of them, master and servants, walked around and looked around, feeling quite relaxed and at ease.
The meditation room in front of me was about to reach the end, and then I heard a "dong" sound coming from inside, followed by a very short "ah".
Xu Shuyao was startled and quickly and quietly retreated behind the wall. Qiao Wei and Huixiang also stopped.
Then they heard the door open and someone said, "Get a sack and take the person away."
Xu Shuyao felt a little creepy when she heard this.
Thinking of the plum blossom viewing banquet last winter, she felt as if she had strayed into some dangerous place again.
However, since he had retreated behind the wall, it was not convenient for him to leave immediately.
After a while, she heard footsteps walking away along the corridor.
I was thinking about the person who was going to be dealt with, and I didn't know who it was, but I actually ran into him.
That "bang" sound just now, was it the sound of someone falling to the ground?
Is that person dead or alive now?
Xu Shuyao shook her head vigorously. What does this have to do with her?
Could it be that she, a weak woman, and her two maids were going to save people?
She looked around. This place was far away from the peach forest. Down below was a pine forest, which was overgrown with weeds and not easy to walk through.
The front hall of the temple was packed with people, but there was no one here.
The place is really hidden.
After a while, someone came out of the meditation room.
Xu Shuyao looked closely and saw that they were two women in black.
But one of them looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before.
From where?
Watching the two people dragging the sacks into the pine forest, Xu Shuyao noticed the woman's silhouette and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
Isn’t this the maid who follows Shen Jingshu?
She changed her clothes and wore a veil, but her hairstyle remained the same. She wore a gilded jade-white pear blossom hairpin on her head, which was very unique.
Xu Shuyao noticed it at the time and also felt that such a hair accessory was too conspicuous on a maid's head.
So, who's in the sack?
Could it be someone I know?
Many thoughts suddenly flooded Xu Shuyao's mind.
But the steps are faster than the brain.
In the end, she and Qiao Wei each picked up a stick and followed quietly.
Neither the master nor the servant had any martial arts experience, and even if they were careful, they would make some slight noises when they walked.
But every time the two maids turned around, the sound disappeared.
Hiding behind a tree, they heard the unfamiliar woman in black say, "Strange? Are we being targeted?"
"Don't overthink it. It's none of our business if they're targeted." said the maid wearing a pear blossom hairpin.
"You said he... he's not dead yet, right? The concubine asked us to deal with him..."
"There's a hidden river down here, just throw it in."
…
Xu Shuyao listened to their conversation and roughly realized that they were just two ordinary maids, so she felt relieved.
There are three of them in total, including her, Qiaowei, and Huixiang!
Three against two, if there are no accidents, there should be no problem.
If thrown into a dark river, the person cannot be saved even if he is still alive.
Then he exchanged glances with Qiao Wei and hit each of the two men on the back of the head with a stick.
The aim was surprisingly good, and then the two of them fell sideways into the grass.
Xu Shuyao ignored them, hurriedly reached out to untie the sack, and called Huixiang who was following behind her.
The sack was tied in a knot, and Huixiang, who arrived, finally bit it open with her teeth.
But after the sack was opened, Xu Shuyao, her master and her servant were all shocked.
The person lying there was actually Shen Shaoyu, the eldest son of the Shen family!
Xu Shuyao sniffed the other person's breath, which was warm and long, as if he was asleep, or perhaps he was just knocked unconscious.
Seeing that they were not far from the guest house, they hurriedly carried Shen Shaoyu over there with the two maids.
Fortunately, this man is just tall and doesn't have much flesh on his body.
The wooden door of the guest house opened with a push, and inside there was a little monk cleaning the yard.
Xu Shuyao recognized him and said that a young man had fainted and needed to find a room to rest. The novice monk let them in without saying a word.
I saw several girls carrying a big man, and they helped them to help him lie down on the bed.
By this time, they were already sweating profusely.
After the little monk left, the three of them looked at each other.
Even the master Xu Shuyao was a little confused.
I just saved someone in a hurry, so now I have time to think carefully.
One of the women who committed the crime was someone close to Shen Jingshu. Does that mean she was working for Shen Jingshu?
Shen Shaoyu is the other party's elder brother, so this is unbelievable no matter how you think about it.
Xu Shuyao was stunned for a while, then looked at Shen Shaoyu on the bed. Seeing that his face was peaceful, she didn't know when he would wake up.
She felt a little worried for a moment, and estimated the approximate time. It should be too early to go back.
Thinking back to the "bang" sound I heard at that time, I had no idea whether it was a hit on the head or someone falling to the ground.
So what about before?
Does this person have any other injuries?
Do you need medical treatment?
All three of them were women and could not help with the examination.
Xu Shuyao thought for a moment and then instructed Qiao Wei, "Go to the front hall and ask for a young master from our mansion to come over."
The two families are old friends. Except for Xiao Mo, all the sons of the Xiao family went to the Shen clan to study. If they heard that the eldest son of the Shen family was in trouble, they would not refuse to lend a helping hand.
Qiao Wei agreed and left.
Xu Shuyao closed the door, took a stool and sat under the porch waiting, but her heart was in turmoil.
Thinking of the way Concubine Shen looked at her at the foot of the mountain, it didn't seem like an exaggeration when she told her third cousin that it was a poisonous snake.
Xu Shuyao often attracted inexplicable hatred because of her appearance, and she was well aware of this.
Isn’t Liu Qingwan in the mansion one of them?
It's just that Liu Qingwan did have some connections with her, and the two of them had competed for favor in front of Old Madam Xiao.
And since it involves several young masters in the mansion, such as Xiao Jinwen or her husband Xiao Jinrong, it makes sense.
Where did Shen Jingshu's hatred for her come from?
Is it because of the prince?
Xu Shuyao's vigilance made her think more deeply about an enemy who might even harm her brother.
Just as he was thinking about it, Huixiang, who had been paying attention to the movements in the house, suddenly said, "The young master seems to be waking up."
Xu Shuyao was startled and hurried in, only to see the man with half-closed eyes, murmuring: "Sister..."
