Chapter 93 Caught
Song Changling scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, this Lingjing Temple is a famous ancient temple, be careful that the Buddha will punish you!"

Song Lingwan looked indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether she believed it or not. She raised her hand and patted Fifth Sister's shoulder to comfort her, "Fifth Sister, maybe you are worrying too much. There are so many people in the temple looking for you, so you will be fine."

knock knock --

There was a knock on the door, and the three sisters in the room looked at each other in bewilderment.
Not long after, an extremely young and tender male voice sounded outside the door, "Girl, Madam Song asked me to come over to urge you to go down the mountain."

The three sisters breathed a sigh of relief at the same time for some unknown reason. They had just been saying that something was wrong with the monks in the temple, and then there was a knock on the door. Who wouldn't be nervous?

Song Changling replied unhappily: "Got it!"

Quiet outside the door
The three sisters quickened their pace to pack their luggage and headed for the temple entrance.

Passing by a side hall, the old lady who was chanting scriptures anxiously pulled the temple abbot and said that she wanted to go to the back mountain to take a look, saying that her granddaughter had always been obedient and would not disappear without saying a word.

The temple abbot refused the old lady's request, saying that the mountain road at the back of the mountain was difficult to travel on and very desolate, and it was impossible for anyone to go there.

Song Lingyi listened to their conversation and felt that something was wrong with this temple. She had been to the back mountain and found that the road was not as difficult as the abbot said. Besides, there were caves in the back mountain and the monks in the temple lived there all year round. How could they not know that there were people hiding there?

Just as Song Lingyi was lost in thought, a monk in a gray robe came towards her. It was the short and thin monk she had seen in the back mountain.

He clasped his hands together and bowed to the three sisters. "Three donors, I am entrusted by Madam Song to take you to the Heavenly King Hall. Please follow me."

Song Lingwan frowned, "Why do we have to go to the Heavenly King Palace? We should go down the mountain."

The short and thin monk lowered his head, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "Maybe there is something else, please don't delay me."

Song Changling didn't think twice and pulled Song Lingwan, "Oh, let's go, I guess it was just a sudden idea of ​​the lady."

Song Lingwan had her doubts, but she didn't insist. "Okay, please lead the way."

Song Lingyi's hands were sweating from the tension of holding the bag. This person's purpose must not be that simple. While this place is not too remote, she can only delay time, "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Song Changling looked back at her impatiently, "Did you drop something?"

"..." Song Lingyi suppressed her inner panic and forced a smile, "Yes... Third sister, fourth sister, I don't know where I left my jade pendant. Can you accompany me back to look for it?"

"You're so grown up, but you still lose things." Song Changling scolded.

Song Lingwan sensed something and said calmly to the short and thin monk, "I'm so sorry, my sister left something behind. We can go to the Heavenly King Hall by ourselves later, so I won't bother you to lead the way."

The short and thin monk refused to give up: "It's okay, I can accompany you for a trip."

"..."

After hearing this, Lian Song Changling couldn't help but frown and wonder, what's wrong with this monk? He had already said that they would go over later, but they still wanted to follow him.

The three sisters returned to the meditation room. Song Lingyi closed the door and whispered, "He is the monk who followed the girl as I said..."

"Are you sure you're not seeing things?" Song Changling asked in panic.

boom--

The door of the meditation room was kicked open with great force, and the short and thin monk's eyes showed a dark light: "I didn't quite believe it when Xuan Jing said it, but it turns out you really saw it." The three sisters were frightened by the sudden movement and took several steps back.

They were clearly speaking quietly, how could they be heard?

Perhaps he could see the three people's confusion, the short and thin monk said coldly: "My hearing has been trained since I was a child. Not to mention your voices, even if there are a few birds chirping in this yard, I can hear them!"

After Song Changling sensed the danger, he instinctively ran out and shouted, "Help—"

How could she be faster than the eight-foot-tall man? His footsteps were approaching quickly. The monk raised his hand knife. Song Changling only felt a pain as if his neck was broken, and he lost consciousness instantly.

Then he waved his hand and scattered a large amount of white powder
Song Lingwan and Song Lingyi accidentally inhaled it and lost consciousness.

…………

When Song Lingyi woke up, she found herself lying in a broken, narrow and cold stone house. The ground was covered with withered and messy thatch. Her third and fourth sisters were lying on her left and right. In the corner of the stone house, a ragged girl was huddled there.

She supported herself and slowly stood up. She found that her left knee was aching, as if she had been injured unconsciously. She couldn't even stand steadily and staggered towards the girl huddled in the corner. "You...are you the girl from the Liu family?"

If I remember correctly, the girl who disappeared from the temple was named Liu.

Miss Liu looked terrified, her clothes were torn, and her exposed skin was blue and swollen.

Song Lingyi raised her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then placed it on Miss Liu's shoulder, wanting to comfort her. But before she could say anything, Miss Liu dodged her hand in shock, "Don't... don't touch me..."

"..."

What happened in this stone house is self-evident.
Song Lingyi's eyes were filled with heartache, and she regretted why she didn't bring people to rescue her in time.

Song Lingyi looked around the stone house and smelled it carefully. The smell of opium was very strong in the stone house. She tapped the ground with her left foot, jumped forward with her right leg, and returned to her third and fourth sisters. She patted them for a long time before waking them up.

"Oh, where is this..." Song Changling was hit on the neck and was still a little confused.

"Hush!" Song Lingyi put a finger to her lips, signaling her to speak softly, "This should be the cave in the back mountain of Lingjing Temple."

……

Song Changling glimpsed someone in the corner and turned to look. Miss Liu looked so miserable that she was terrified. She said in a trembling voice, "Could she be the missing girl? How did she get caught here? What should we do? Will they..."

"There is more than one monk here who kidnapped us. Even if we escape to the temple, we may not be safe. The most urgent thing is to find a way to go down the mountain and report to the authorities." Song Lingyi said.

"But it took us a long time to take the carriage up the mountain, and my mother and the others are still in the temple." Song Changling spoke with a tearful voice.

At this moment, the door of the stone house suddenly opened from the outside.
The person who came in was the burly monk. He had a blank expression on his face and a fierce look in his eyes. After entering the stone house, he started sharpening his knife without saying a word.

creaking——

The sound was harsh and unpleasant, like a death warrant

Song Changling was tortured by the sound of the knife sharpening and broke down emotionally. He covered his ears and cried, "Don't kill me... Don't kill me..."

Song Lingwan protected Song Lingyi behind her. She was so panicked that her lips turned pale, but she still negotiated with the burly monk calmly: "Just tell me what you want. There's no need to threaten us like this. We have plenty of money in the Song family!"
