Chapter 57

"What time is it?" Bi'er sat up.

"It's almost five o'clock, Bi'er, you should leave now!"

Seeing Bi'er sitting there hesitating, Pu Yu said again:

"Hurry up, or it will be too late!"

Bi'er went to put on her own clothes, but Pu Yu handed her another dress:

"When you wear this men's clothing, it will attract people's attention if you go outside alone. It's better to wear men's clothing. It was changed when my brother was drunk and dirty last time. I couldn't find a suitable one in a hurry. He has a lot of clothes, but I think you don't want to wear them, so I found my brother's."

When Bi'er went down to the ground, Pu Yu handed her another bundle and said:

"I have prepared everything. Here is the contract you sold yourself back then, and a document that I can prove your identity. You can use it when you need it later."

Bi Er looked at Pu Yu hesitantly.Pu Yu urged her:

"Go! When you get outside, if you meet the right person, marry yourself!"

"Miss……"

Bi'er wanted to say that she wanted Miss to go with her, but she was a maid, why would she say that?So she swallowed the words harshly.

But Pu Yu lowered his head and said as if he fully understood her thoughts:

"I'm sorry Bi'er, I can't go with you, I want to run away, my family, my father and mother, will be blamed by everyone, they have no face to bear the shame!"

Bi'er looked at Pu Yu, in the dark night, she couldn't see her eyes clearly, she walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute, I'll take you out."

Pu Yu walked out of the room first, and Bi Er followed behind her.Pu Yu went to the gate of Shen's house, called the concierge to open, and said:

"There is something wrong with her natal family, I will ask her to go back to her natal family."

The concierge opened the door. After Bi'er walked out of the gate, she looked back at Pu Yu. Through the light at the door, she saw that the young lady's sad eyes were full of reluctance and sadness. She turned around and wanted to return to Shen's house. Yu shook her head and urged her to leave again.

Seeing that Bi'er had left, Pu Yu returned to the room with heavy steps, lay down on the bed and wept.

At noon the next day, Shen Fuquan came over but Bi'er was nowhere to be seen. Pu Yu said:

"I let her leave here, I don't know where she went!"

Shen Fuquan was very angry, so he called the porter to ask, and learned that Bi'er had left before dawn, so he sent people to search around, thinking that he could be chased back.

Bi'er left Shen's house, and she also left Miss Puyu, from five watch to dawn, she didn't know where she should go, where was her destination, her home.She just walked aimlessly like that, walking, she couldn't move her legs anymore, so she rested under a tree by the side of the road.

Holding the bundle Pu Yu gave her in her arms, she looked around.I saw three or five low-walled houses scattered along the curving path.There was no one on the road, only a few wisps of clear thin smoke drifting out from the chimneys of those houses; there were occasional barks of dogs not far away.

Bi'er was leaning against a tree by the side of the road, when she heard a "squeak", a door opened not far from the side of the road.

Bi'er was facing the door obliquely, and turned her head to look. There was a house over there, the courtyard door and the top of the wall were slightly taller than other courtyard houses on the side of the road.A middle-aged woman came out from the door. She was dressed as a Taoist, and she was holding a wooden basin. She was walking outside the courtyard gate. She leaned over and poured the water in the basin onto the open space outside the gate. She turned around and entered again without stopping. the door.

It turned out that it was a Taoist temple.Bi'er sat on the ground, staring at the door for a while, then she walked over there, walked to the door, looked up, and saw the words "Qingxuguan" written on an old door plaque with peeling paint.

The gate of the temple is half open. Looking from the outside to the inside, the temple is not very big. There are only sixty or seventy steps from the outside to the main hall. The three-room main hall is directly opposite the door, and there are several low houses on the left and right sides. The Taoist who just poured water outside the door is now entering the main hall.

Bi'er walked into the temple, and at this time, a female priest walked out from the building on the right. She was in her 30s, and she seemed to have just finished washing.Bill stepped forward and said:

"Master invited!"

The female Taoist looked at the woman in men's clothes who came early in the morning and asked:

"Is there something wrong with the donor?"

"I want to become a monk here and enter the Tao, please master to save me!"

After hearing Bi'er's words, the female Taoist said: "We don't accept apprentices here, you can go elsewhere!" After speaking, she also went to the main hall.

Beer followed and begged:

"Master, please take in the disciple!"

An old lady in the main hall heard it and came out and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"This benefactor wants to become a monk with us," said the young woman.

The old Taoist looked at Bi'er, and said: "We are a small temple here, and the quota of Taoist priests is full, you should go elsewhere!" The female Taoist said and walked down the steps of the hall.

Although Bi'er was a little displeased when she saw that the two female priests were wearing heavy makeup and always squinting at people, she still followed, took off a pair of gold bracelets from her wrists, and brought them to the elderly priestess :

"Master, this is my wish, please accept it!"

When the old Taoist saw the gold bracelet, he smiled and said:

"How can a monk be greedy for property, but seeing that you are so sincere, I will accept you for the time being. It just so happens that the government wants to become more Taoist priests. In two days, I will ask for a place for you!"

The old Taoist said he took the bracelet, and Bier thanked him endlessly.After a few days, according to her foreword, the Taoist woman really gave Bi'er an ordinance and sent her into the Taoist sect.Bi'er took out a few taels of silver and gave it to Nv Dao as a thank you gift.

Since Bi'er came here, the two young women have been relieved. All the cleaning and cooking are left to Bi'er. Because Bi'er has a place to stay, she doesn't care about everything, so be careful. Serve them.Living in peace like this, Bi'er's heart became calm day by day.

One day, Bi'er washed some fruits and was about to take them to the statue in the main hall to worship. She had just stepped out of the threshold when she suddenly saw four menacing men coming from the gate. Bi'er recognized two of them as Shen Fuquan's family. servant.

She was startled, and hurriedly fled to her house, took the burden, and while the two house slaves were walking towards the main hall, stopping the two female priests from asking questions, she quietly fled to the back door of the Taoist temple—the front door It has been guarded by the other two.

Bi'er rushed to Guan's back door to take a look, her heart sank, the back door was locked and she couldn't get out.

"It seems that we can only wait with our hands tied!"

Thinking in her heart, Bi'er caught sight of a pile of firewood in the corner, and she hurriedly ran over to climb up the pile of firewood.

The back wall is not high at all, and you can see outside the wall by climbing up the firewood pile, but even so, Bier still couldn't climb the top of the wall, so she bent down to pick up two thick firewood, put them up on the wall, and then Hold on to the top of the wall, step on the firewood stick with both feet, push upwards, and climb up the top of the wall.Looking outside the wall, although she was timid in her heart, she was cruel, closed her eyes and jumped down.

Fortunately, the ground outside the wall was very wet and grassy, ​​and I just fell down when I jumped down.Bi'er didn't have time to stop, so she ran forward. After running not far, she heard shouts from behind, and the four people had already chased them out. Bi'er ran without relaxing her pace.

After running for less than half a mile, the white river ahead blocked her way.Bi'er stopped and looked at the river, and there was nothing on the white river, which was so calm.

This place is not a ferry, and there are no boats to stop, Bier looks around and there is no way to go, and the people behind are about to catch up.
