The real daughter is reborn, I will no longer be this evil stepmother

A smile finally appeared on Xu Xiangniang's face.

"That's great."

After finishing speaking, she was afraid that Jiang Mingyue might misunderstand something, so she explained, "When I came here before, it took a long time to walk on the road. When I arrived at the temple, it was already past noon. I was a little tired, so I rested in the Zen room for half an hour before returning home... …”

Jiang Mingyue smiled and hummed.

"Then let's go over and take a look."

It was already dark.

Several of them went over.

The poor scholar said, "Girls, can you bring me with you..."

Before he finished speaking, he received a few eye rolls.

He touched his nose and closed his mouth wisely.

"I'll go to the front, the main hall, and wait for the arrangements from the temple..."

Part ways.

It is impossible to repair the flyover.

We can only stay one night at Gongyuan Temple.

Jiang Mingyue followed Xu Xiangniang to the Zen room in the backyard.

There are not many meditation rooms here, specially built for pilgrims to rest.

The monks of this temple do not live here.

Because Gongyuan Temple is remote and the terrain is steep, it is not easy to go up and down. Many people go up the mountain and spend money to rest here for a night, so a small and quiet courtyard was specially built.

There are about four or five rooms in a row.

Xu Xiangniang's room was in the innermost room.

The furnishings in the house are simple, but all the necessary furniture and accessories are available.

Du Juan went out to inquire for a while.

This gives us the information about Gongyuan Temple’s arrangements for pilgrims.

The male pilgrims live in the main hall, and the female pilgrims live in the same Zen room. The number of the Zen room they live in is arranged according to the list, and they cannot live in random places.

Du Juan added, "I don't think anyone has been assigned to our room. We should live alone in our room."

Among the hundreds of pilgrims, more than half are female pilgrims.

There were at least sixty or seventy people.

There are five Zen rooms in total, and Jiang Mingyue and the others lived in one.

There are four rooms left, each of which can accommodate more than ten people.

However, it is still affordable, and you can make a bunk on the ground to squeeze in a little space.

It’s an emergency, so there’s no need to pay so much attention.

"This arrangement is okay. The male pilgrims live on the side of the main hall, far away from the place where the female pilgrims live. This also protects the reputation of the female pilgrims."

Xu Xiangniang also nodded, "Well, I hope the overpass will be repaired tomorrow."

Jiang Mingyue asked Xu Xiangniang to rest in the room, and she went out to visit Gongyuan Temple again.

I went outside to check out the progress on the overpass.

Met the poor scholar again.

He was also at the cliff of the overpass. "It's no longer possible. It won't be repaired today. The Zhanzi Army over there is coming over, but the people from Gongyuan Temple won't let them go. They won't put up ropes. Let's wait until dawn!"

Then, the conversation changed.

Ask Jiang Mingyue, "How many people live in your house?"

Jiang Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "I want you to take care of it!"

The poor scholar said again, "Don't get me wrong. I overheard that there are only four of you, master and servant, living in your house. There are only a few people. I want to live in the main hall. There are too many people. I am afraid that others will steal my book box. , can you take it into your house and help me keep it safe? I don’t know anything when I fall asleep at night."

Seeing Jiang Mingyue hesitate.

The poor scholar added, "Look at me saving four of your lives...it's such a small thing with a little effort."

"Okay." Jiang Mingyue took it.

The bookcase is old and broken. There are quite a lot of things in it and it is quite heavy.

"I'll give it back to you tomorrow morning."

The poor scholar was very happy and said, "Okay, thank you, thank you!"

So, when Jiang Mingyue went back, she carried a broken book box on her back, and Xu Xiangniang and the others asked.

Jiang Mingyue told the truth.

Du Juan was disgusted by the smell, so she put the book box in a corner of the room.

Just wash up and go to sleep.

Du Juan and the others yawned endlessly, and so did Xu Xiangniang.

Jiang Mingyue and her group were small, so they didn't make a bunk on the floor. Jiang Mingyue and Xu Xiangniang slept on the bed.

Du Juan's two maids slept on the couch. They almost went to bed and fell asleep without saying a few words.

There are many people living in this courtyard. At the beginning, it was as lively as a vegetable market. We would chat with each other and visit each other.

Not long after, everyone became quiet.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the snoring coming and going.

Jiang Mingyue naturally couldn't sleep. She was in a strange environment for the first time and had things that happened in her previous life. She was always vigilant.

I'm afraid something will go wrong again.

In the previous life, a man broke into Xu Xiangniang's house and lay on her bed. He was caught in the act.

Now, after much thought, Jiang Mingyue didn't know any man.

I met a poor scholar.

Could it be him? Will he come tonight?

Now, there is no use for him to come. She will stay here and will never let him succeed.

However, based on her intuition, a poor scholar may seem unreliable, but after all, he is also someone who has read books by sages, so he should not do this! Besides, the poor scholar seems to be more interested in her than Xu Xiangniang. If he really wants to do something evil, the target is more than half her.

Xu Xiangniang should be safe.

Of course, it is also possible that he is a fake, pretending to be a scholar...

In short, no matter what, she would never allow things from her previous life to happen here.

After a while, Jiang Mingyue also yawned.

But she didn't allow herself to fall asleep, so she got up and drank a glass of spiritual spring water.

The sleepiness receded.

Her spirit was highly tense, and as the night went on, she felt more and more something was wrong.

It's so quiet.

There were so many people in the yard, but there was only the sound of snoring.

They all fell asleep.

That's it!

This shouldn't be the case! !

If you stay away from home overnight, a man may have a more generous personality and fall asleep.

Women are different.

Will be more vigilant.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for so many people to fall asleep.

There should be people who are tossing and turning, sleepless, worried, and scared.

But are all these people asleep?

Du Juan was the person close to the old lady and was extremely loyal. Logically speaking, she would keep vigil for her master and let him sleep. However, she fell asleep as soon as she fell on the bed.

It’s tricky!

Jiang Mingyue couldn't lie still.

She got up and wanted to go out to see what was going on.

As soon as she got up, Xu Xiangniang was startled on the bed.

She didn't fall asleep either, "Mingyue, do you want to get up at night?"

Jiang Mingyue replied to her, "I can't sleep, so I got up and took a walk. It's hot. The windows in the house are closed tightly and there's no ventilation. I'll go outside to get some fresh air and come back. You can go to sleep."

Xu Xiangniang said oh and lay down again in a daze.

Jiang Mingyue pushed the door open and walked out. In the rooms next door, people were really sleeping deeply, and they were all snoring.

The rooms were all lit with oil lamps. She looked through the window and saw the female pilgrims lying on the floor sleeping soundly.

All four rooms have the same scene.

While she was watching, Jiang Mingyue's ears suddenly twitched.

Footsteps were heard.

There's more than one person.

In this silent night, the chirping of insects suddenly stopped at this moment.

Therefore, the sound of wind and grass can be heard especially clearly.

Of course, most people would definitely not be able to hear it. Only Jiang Mingyue could hear it. Her ears and eyes were particularly sensitive.

Her heart skipped a beat.

This late at night, this scene is so weird, if something goes wrong it will be a monster.
