Chapter 50 The more suppressed, the more surging
Zhuiyue brought back everything he saw and heard from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to Feiyun Pavilion.
When Yun Ji heard that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion learned that Su Rui had been captured, the first thing he did was not to send people to search and rescue her, but to throw all the dirty water on her to distance himself from her. Even though he had been practicing seclusion for many years, he couldn't help but feel unfair for Su Rui.
I'm afraid it was the same five years ago.
No matter what the reason, the whole family excluded her and left her alone to face the wind and snow.
Yun Ji couldn't help but recall the disappointment in Su Rui's eyes on the black-covered boat that day.
"Master, do you want to send someone to search and rescue Miss Su?" Zhuiyue asked.
Now that she was alone and helpless, he should save her.
However, this attack was probably the work of the Emperor. If he made any move, the Emperor would become more convinced and further pressure him, and he would go into a solitary alley.
Finally, Yun Ji waved his hand and asked Zhuiyue to retreat.
Kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, Yun Ji closed his eyes and chanted scriptures, thinking over and over in his heart that as long as he did not take any action, the emperor might not hurt Su Rui.
But even though he persuaded himself again and again, he still couldn't suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and Su Rui's shadow involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Her smile, her playfulness, her wildness, her loss, her loneliness, her scars...
He suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body covered in sweat.
He didn't understand why the more he suppressed his emotions, the more they surged.
She used spices again!
Yun Ji stood up and immediately checked the incense burner, even the incense sticks on the altar, eager to find a reasonable explanation for his restlessness.
But there is none.
Everything is as usual.
Even the Black Bodhisattva is not here.
Everything related to Su Rui is gone.
But he still couldn't help thinking about her and worrying about her, even though he knew it was just a ruse and she would be fine.
But I can't help it.
He was clearly trying to overcome this calamity, so why was it that it became increasingly difficult for him to control himself?
Could it be true...
Absolutely not!
He has practiced hard for more than ten years, how could he fall into depravity!
Yun Ji knelt down in front of the Buddha statue again, beating the wooden fish and reciting Buddhist scriptures to calm his mind.
…
Su Rui opened her eyes dazedly, and the pain from the back of her head reminded her that she had been knocked unconscious.
I tried to rub the back of my head, but found I couldn't move.
Her hands and feet were tied, a cloth ball was stuffed in her mouth, and a cloth strip was tied around the outside to prevent her from pushing the cloth ball out with her tongue.
After taking a few deep breaths, Su Rui looked around.
It was pitch black, without a single ray of light.
This proves that there are no windows here, and the house cannot be so airtight. It must be a cave in the rock or a mountain.
It was so sealed that she couldn't hear any sound coming from outside.
She was probably held in the back.
Being so meticulous is because we’re afraid that she’ll escape.
Although I don't know who hired these bandits to deal with her, the result must be bad, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
She vaguely remembered hearing a familiar voice before she fell into a coma saying that they would wait for someone to come and deal with her.
They haven't touched her yet because the person behind the scenes has said that they must wait for him to arrive before taking action.
Then the moment she saw the person behind the scenes would be the end of her life.
She didn't know whether it was day or night, nor how long she had been unconscious. Su Rui couldn't tell how much time had passed or how much time was left.
But she knew she had to escape, the sooner the better.
She struggled a few times and found that the rope was tied with a pig-killing noose, and the more she struggled, the tighter it became.
He shook his sleeves and found them empty; all the spices had been taken away.
It is true that the first thing bandits do when they catch someone is to search him.
Without the spice, she was on her own.
You have to pull your hands out of the rope in one go to have a chance.
Fortunately, the bandits were either too lazy to bother, or they believed that she could not escape, so they did not tie her up.
She immediately pulled her right hand hard, but the hemp rope was too thick and too tight, and it caused pain in her wrist.
But she couldn't relax. Once she did, it would be more difficult to pull it out next time, or even she would lose the chance.
no!
If your hands aren't strong enough, use your feet!
Groping, she lowered her body, stepped on the rope on her wrists with both feet, counted to three in her mind, pushed her right hand upwards, and pushed her feet downwards with all her strength.
The hemp rope cuts the skin and blood flows out, soaking the hemp rope will make the rope tighter.
There was no time to care about the pain. Su Rui bit the cloth in her mouth tightly and used up her last bit of strength. After hearing the sound of skin tearing and bones dislocating, the taut rope finally loosened.
Her right hand came out, dislocated, and hung limply, covered in blood.
The intense pain made Su Rui stop and take a few deep breaths. Then she immediately shook off the rope with her left hand, reached out to untie the rope on her feet, untied the cloth tied around her mouth, and pulled out the cloth ball.
Enduring the pain, she quickly stood up and began to feel the wall.
It's a rock.
It is a natural cave, not dug by ourselves.
That would reduce the difficulty of escape. After all, there are many entrances to the caves in the suburbs of Beijing, and the bandits are roaming around. There may not be so many people to guard every entrance.
After groping along the rock wall for a while, Su Rui touched a broken wire. He gently traced the wire with his fingers. It was about one meter tall and should be the rock blocking the door.
I put my nose close to the gap and sniffed, there was a faint smell.
She reached out and took out a bean-sized scented pill from inside her clothes.
She was used to keeping a few tricks up her sleeve, and would hide some small fragrant pills in hidden places close to her body. They were small in size, but quite powerful.
She crushed it with her fingers, smeared it deep into the crack, held her breath and blew outwards into the crack, then immediately took a few steps back.
After waiting for about ten breaths, I heard a faint sound coming from outside.
The person fell down!
She immediately stepped forward, put her shoulder against it, and used her whole body to push the rock out.
Little by little, the cloth on the shoulders was all worn out, the skin was rubbed to bleed, and the rock was finally pushed open to a gap two palms wide.
Su Rui squeezed out from the gap with difficulty.
It was still dark outside, but better than inside. After my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I could see the general outline.
There was a man lying at his feet. Su Rui searched his body, took the iron plate hanging on his waist and the machete, and then cut his neck with one knife.
I stood up and saw three roads in front of me, but I didn't know where they led to.
By sheer luck, Su Rui chose the left side.
To reduce noise, she took off her shoes and walked barefoot.
The ground under her feet was uneven and there were many sharp points, which caused pain to be transmitted to her brain all the time, keeping her awake.
The further you go, the brighter it gets.
It was reflected by the candlelight.
There is someone ahead!
Su Rui held her breath, walked lightly, and approached slowly.
"Boss, when will that person come? I've been waiting for a long time." In the spacious cave, Zhang Laoer shouted impatiently.
Lin Chuan, who was sitting at the top, glared at him and said, "Why are you so anxious? People will come naturally. Can you stop thinking about those things all day long? What's wrong with skipping a meal?"
"What do you mean by skipping a meal? Which of you brothers has done it all along the way?" Zhang Laoer stood up unconvinced.
"When we were being suppressed, I told you to go south, where there were many rich people and beautiful girls. But you didn't listen and insisted on coming to Shengjing first, sneaking under the emperor's nose. You didn't allow us to do this or that along the way. Now we finally caught a little beauty, but you are locking her up and not allowing us to touch her. You are becoming a monk for your old lover, but we are not!"
