Jade Without Fragrance

  Chapter 80 Bring Back

  The deacon monk saw that Mrs. Wuning Hou firmly refused, and stopped talking.

   Mrs. Wuning Hou finally handed over the task to Ningcui, another personal maid of Tang Wei.

   "If you lost the girl, you have to bring the girl back safely. This is considered to make up for the fault, understand?"

   Ningcui was scared to death, but she didn't dare to refuse, she said in a trembling voice, "My maid understands that the maid will definitely bring the girl back."

   "Go." Mrs. Wuning Hou stopped looking at her and closed her eyes tiredly.

   Ningcui walked heavily into the darkness.

   The wind at night was very cold, cutting her delicate cheek mercilessly, reminding her of the light redness of her throat cut.

   The person who caught the girl... Did he really let the girl go after receiving the bank note? Will she treat her and the girl like Qinghong did—

   Ningcui subconsciously touched her neck, tears in her eyes.

   In the middle of the night like this, there were shadows shaking everywhere, and she couldn't see the way clearly.

   The monk who showed her the way stopped: "The entrance to the valley is ahead, the female benefactor should be more careful."

   Ningcui clenched the lantern pole tightly and nodded with a pale face.

   The road ahead, she had to go by herself.

   She carried the lantern deep and shallow, and the road seemed to be endless.

   A tall black shadow stood silently ahead.

   Ningcui summoned the courage to raise the lantern, subconsciously heaving a sigh of relief.

   is that pine tree!

   She approached cautiously with a lantern, and found a blue cloth tied on a pine tree.

   She first followed the instructions in the letter and put the purse containing the banknotes on the ground half a zhang away from the back of the pine tree, then circled back and waited quietly.

   Light footsteps sounded, the rustling sound of thick fallen leaves and withered grass being stepped on.

   Ningcui was tense, staring at the back of the pine tree.

   She vaguely saw a figure approach and back away, and something flew over.

   At that moment, Ningcui's cold hair stood up, and she tightly covered her mouth before she let out a scream.

  The flying thing fell not far away, it was a stone wrapped in blue cloth.

   Ningcui was frightened, took off the cloth strip, and looked closer to the lantern.

  A location is written crookedly on the strip of cloth.

   She grabbed the cloth and ran back to the place where the monks were waiting, with the excitement of the rest of her life: "Here, the girl is here!"

  The monk took the cloth and looked at it, and hurriedly said: "The female benefactor is coming this way."

  The two hurried to the place written on the cloth.

   The wind in the valley is a little lighter, the grass is half a person high, and the shadows are so dazzling that it makes people palpitate.

   The intermittent whining sound came from out of nowhere.

   Ningcui raised the lantern and ran over: "Girl!"

  Tang Wei was lying on the ground like a zongzi, unable to struggle.

   "Miss, are you alright?" Seeing Tang Wei's face, Ningcui screamed and threw the lantern out of her hand.

   The monk picked up the lantern and walked over, and he saw Tang Wei's appearance by the light.

  On the right side of her face, she was smooth and fair. Although she was embarrassed, she couldn't hide her beauty, but a bright red brand on her left cheek destroyed all her beauty.

   "Woooooo-" Tang Wei saw the person shouting fiercely, but Naihe couldn't shout with the rags in her mouth.

  Ningcui calmed down, crawled over and hurriedly took off the cloth stuffed with Tang Wei's mouth, and untied the rope.

  Tang Wei's hands and feet were free, but she couldn't move.

   Ningcui burst into tears: "Girl, girl, are you okay?"

   "Are you going to die? Carry me away!" Tang Wei hoarsely gritted her teeth.

   "Yes, yes, the maid will carry you back." Ningcui stretched out her hand to pull Tang Wei, because she was flustered and did not carry her back for a while, and received a weak slap.

   "Trash!" Tang Wei hissed.

   Ningcui carried Tang Wei on her back, gritted her teeth, fell several times on the way, and finally walked out of the valley.

  The people who were waiting there gathered around, and a woman took Tang Wei over and carried it to Mrs. Wuninghou.

   "Mother—" Tang Wei burst into tears when she saw Mrs. Wuninghou.

   Mrs. Wu Ninghou saw Tang Wei's face, and her soul flew away: "Weier, what's wrong with you!"

  Tang Wei raised her hand and touched the fleshy part of her left cheek, and screamed: "Mirror, bring a mirror!"

  No one dared to move.

   "Mother, I want a mirror, I want to see my face!" Tang Wei shouted, Xu was frightened for most of the day, and she rolled her eyes and fainted in excitement.

   There was another chaos, and Tang Wei, who fell into a coma, put on clean clothes, her face and hands were wiped clean, and the bright red brand on her left cheek became more and more striking.

   Mrs. Wuning Hou stared at her daughter's left face, completely unacceptable.

  Daughter was completely destroyed!

   She stood up suddenly and went to find the deacon monk.

   "The person is familiar with the surrounding terrain, either from the temple or the people around here. Your temple wants to give the little girl an explanation!"

  The deacon monk chanted the Buddha's name: "The poor monk has arranged for the disciples to guard the ends of the valley and the way down the mountain, and wait until tomorrow to go into the mountain with the official messenger to find..."

   After listening to the arrangement of the deacon and monk, Mrs. Wuning Hou turned around and went back.

  The deacon monk secretly sighed.

  Fortunately, I didn't listen to this lady and let the person who kidnapped the second lady Tang go alone, otherwise I would be even more helpless now.

   When Tang Wei woke up, it was already bright.

   Seeing Mrs. Wu Ninghou sitting beside her, she was a little dazed: "Mother, why are you in my room?"

   Mrs. Wuning Hou's eyes were red: "Weier, are you awake, are you hungry?"

   "I'm hungry—" Tang Wei's expression froze, and she sat up suddenly, "Bring me the mirror!"

   Knowing that her daughter will face her sooner or later, Mrs. Wuninghou motioned for her maid to bring a mirror.

  Tang Wei glanced in the mirror and saw that the left cheek had been wrapped with ointment.

   She stretched out her hand to grab it, but was stopped by Mrs. Wuninghou: "Weier, you must not grab it, the doctor put a ointment on you to remove scars."

  Tang Wei didn't dare to move, and screamed: "Mother, have you caught the person who harmed me? I'm going to cut him into pieces!"

   "Weier, calm down first." Mrs. Wuning Hou gestured to the maid.

   The maid went out and brought in a man dressed up quickly.

   "Weier, when Liu Zhaotou asks you, you should tell him what you know, so that you can find the person who harmed you earlier."

  Tang Wei nodded again and again.

   "Miss Tang still remember what happened yesterday?"

  Tang Wei's eyes were confused: "I was walking quickly in the woods, and suddenly fell and was covered by someone, and then I didn't know anything."

"and after?"

   "Later—" Tang Wei recalled, her face pale, "When I woke up, I saw a man with a mask and a black scarf showing only one pair of eyes. He looked at me for a while, then, just—"

  Tang Wei burst into tears, with a look of fear mixed with despair: "He took a piece of red-hot charcoal with iron tongs and pressed it on my face - Mother, I'm disfigured, woo woo..."

  Liu Zoutou waited for her to cry for a while, and then asked, "What did that person say?"

   "He didn't say a word. After scalding my face, I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I lay there and couldn't move."

   Liu Zhaotou pondered for a moment, and said to Mrs. Wuninghou: "This man is probably seeking money by the way, but his real purpose is to seek revenge."

   Thank you for the 10,000 coins that have been rewarded with the jade, and thanks to the book friends who voted for the reward. See you tomorrow.
