Chapter 142 Hiding in the Tree

A powerful enemy came to the Holy Lady's Palace, and there were patrols outside from time to time. Yang Shucheng could not get out. However, the Holy Lady's Cult had strict rules. A strange man came and wanted to be killed. Yang Shucheng had no choice but to hide in Ma Yue's room.

The room was simply decorated and there was no place to hide. In the end, I could only hide on the small wooden bed.

The two of them fell asleep at some point when they suddenly heard shouting from outside:

"Ma Yue, wake up."

The two of them woke up, and Ma Yue whispered: "Master Yang, don't go out, I'll be back soon."

Ma Yue walked out and was going to be on duty for the rest of the night. Yang Shucheng was lying on the bed alone, not daring to move for fear of someone coming in.

Whatever is scary comes, and not long after, I heard footsteps coming in the corridor outside.

I walked to the door and pushed it, but it couldn't be pushed open. I only heard him saying: "Little girl, lock the door."

"She usually doesn't lock the door."

"Isn't there a strong enemy tonight? She didn't lock the door for fear of being kidnapped."

"Senior sister, what should I do?" someone asked.

"Break the lock open."

"What's wrong? If the lock is broken, she will know that someone has come in." One person asked worriedly.

"It's okay. If she asks, just say it was a foreign enemy."

"Yes, senior sister is still very resourceful. She is a little girl, why should the leader trust her so much!"

Yang Shucheng hid under the quilt and could clearly hear the voices outside. This must be the result of the competitiveness among the junior sisters, but it didn't matter. If they came in, it would give them a handle, which would be harmful. Miss Ma Yue is dead. I slept with her in the middle of the night and jumped into the Yellow River.

Yang Shucheng immediately made a decision and got out of the warm bed. The room was simply furnished and there was no place to hide, so he had to twist and crawl under the bed.

Fortunately, there was a cloth bag and his cotton-padded jacket under the bed. Yang Shucheng curled up and hid behind a ball of cloth bags, looking outside.

There was only a "dong" sound outside, the lock was opened, and two or three people walked in.

These people came to the house, turned over the quilt on the bed, and said, "This little girl, the quilt is not folded yet. Didn't the leader say that she loves to be clean?"

"This little girl just loves to pretend."

The senior sister said: "Look through the things in the drawer and see what is there."

"Yes."

Yang Shucheng hid under the bed, not daring to vent his anger loudly. He looked at the footsteps of two people approaching the table, opened the drawer, and started flipping through it.

"Sister, there are only two scriptures from this religion."

"You two look through it and see if there are any marks? Does the leader have any hints?"

"Yes."

The two of them stood in front of the table and began to read through the two thin scriptures. They quickly finished flipping through the pages, and disappointment appeared on their faces.

"Sister, no."

The senior sister said: "This is strange, there is nothing. Whether it is swordsmanship or spells, she must have been taught by the leader orally, and there is no proof."

"Sister, what should we do?"

The senior sister said: "This little girl is really hateful! Follow the second set of actions, Xiaoguo, put something under her pillow."

I saw a step walking to the bed and putting things away.

"Xiao Guo, go and tell the leader that you saw a figure walking into Ma Yue's room and ask the leader to check. I don't believe that we can't defeat her this time."

The three people had a plan and quickly walked out of the room.

Yang Shucheng knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, put on his clothes, looked around and saw that there was no clue left.

Before leaving, he put his hand under the pillow and took out something. It was a roll of paper. He opened it and reflected the dim light outside. He saw figures drawn on the paper, including men and women, wearing light clothes and holding Swords are fighting, this is a picture of spring.

This was the evidence used to frame Ma Yue. Fortunately, he discovered it. Suddenly it occurred to me that the old woman had kidnapped him, so she wanted to rescue Miss Ma Yue by herself? Could it be that Miss Ma Yue has something to do with the old woman?

Without any time to think about it, Yang Shucheng put the roll of paper into his pocket and listened again. There was no movement in the corridor outside. He quietly came to the door and looked outside. There was no one outside.

Yang Shucheng walked out quickly. There was a corridor to the left and right. He thought that this row of houses were dormitories for female disciples of the Saintess Sect.

Yang Shucheng was afraid of meeting the disciples of the sect, so he jumped down from the railing. The courtyard was very spacious, but he didn't dare to go out, for fear of meeting the disciples of the Holy Lady Sect on the way.

Fortunately, there are still many holly trees in the courtyard with lush branches and leaves, so they can still hide.

Yang Shucheng quickly came to the largest holly tree and looked around, but there was no one there.

Yang Shucheng came to a dry land to pluck onions, and his whole body stood up straight from the ground and flew into the holly tree.

As soon as I flew to the tree, I saw a black shadow. I couldn't help but panic and almost fell from the tree.

At the critical moment, Yang Shucheng reached out and grabbed a branch to prevent it from falling. But he saw a person hiding in the tree, his eyes glowing green.

Yang Shucheng was shocked again when he saw it.

The owner of these two eyes with green light is the old woman who kidnapped him.

"Oh." Yang Shucheng twisted his body and was about to fall off the tree.

The old woman reached out and grabbed Yang Shucheng and pulled him up into the tree. Yang Shucheng couldn't break free and had to sit on a horizontal branch.

Yang Shucheng said: "Old lady, you..."

The old woman snorted and said, "Did you sleep well at night?"

Yang Shucheng blushed when she saw through the secret, and said: "It's... not bad..."

The old woman glanced at him and looked away.

Yang Shucheng thought that the old woman had been hiding in the tree all night. She must know every move he made, so he stopped trying to explain and just asked:

"Old lady, Miss Ma Yue is your granddaughter?"

"No."

"Then you came here with me on your back to ask me to save her?"

"Yes, and no." The old woman said calmly.

Yang Shucheng thought she wanted to explain, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see her speaking, so he opened his mouth and said: "Old lady..."

"Stop talking, someone is coming."

Yang Shucheng had no choice but to stay opposite the old woman, not daring to say a word. He had shared a bed with Miss Ma Yue in the middle of the night, which was a beautiful sight. But now he was hiding in a tree with an old witch, but he couldn't tell how good it felt. .

Looking out from the dense leaves, it snowed heavily at night, and the ground was already white. The night was hazy, which gave it a somewhat poetic feeling.

"Oops, not good." Yang Shucheng cried out.

"how?"

Yang Shucheng said: "There are my footprints on the ground."

The old woman waved her hand, and a gust of wind blew up from the ground. The snowflakes that had just fallen on the ground rolled and covered her footprints.

Yang Shucheng thought that this old woman was so powerful in martial arts, and he couldn't talk casually. If he offended her, his life would be at risk.

Just as he was thinking about it, a group of women came to the courtyard. They walked under the holly tree and walked to a row of houses on the opposite side. Yang Shucheng turned his head and looked out through the cracks in the dense leaves. This group of women walked up the corridor and seemed to be heading towards Ma Yue's room. Due to the thick branches and leaves, he could not see the faces of these people clearly. Is there Miss Ma Yue among them?

Miss Ma Yue didn't know that she had walked out of the room. She was still worried, right? Her face must have turned pale with fright, and her heart was beating wildly. The evidence that framed her was also taken away by him, but who would tell her all this?

This group of women walked into Ma Yue's room, and after a while, they all walked out.

Of course they found nothing, because the thing was placed in Yang Shucheng's pocket.

Soon, the group of saintly disciples walked down the corridor, walked under the holly tree, walked out of the courtyard, and soon walked to another place.

Yang Shucheng said to the old woman flatteringly: "There are a few people who want to frame Miss Ma Yue."

"This is because she is jealous of her." The old woman explained, "She has been in the religion for a short time, but she has gained the trust of the leader and has taught her many secret techniques in private. Of course, she will be jealous of her senior sisters."

After the old woman finished speaking, she closed her eyes, as if she was resting her mind. Her wrinkled old face was covered with thick white pastels, and there were two big flowers of rouge on her cheeks, and she was wearing bright lipstick. , there is still a yellow mountain flower stuck on the sparse left temple, she is really old and pretty, but no matter how she looks, she looks like an old witch.

Yang Shucheng saw her closing her eyes and concentrating, knowing that she had not slept all night, so he did not dare to speak again, for fear that one sentence would offend her, and he could not imagine the consequences.

The two of them were hiding in the holly tree, very close to each other. Yang Shucheng couldn't help but think of Miss Ma Yue, but looking at the old woman's face in front of him, he couldn't imagine Miss Ma Yue's pretty face.

The old woman slept for a while. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were indeed full of energy. She stretched out her skinny right hand, which was like a chicken's claw, and used it to pinch and count. After counting for a while, she spoke to herself:

"The time has come."

She glanced at Yang Shucheng again and said, "Good boy, I hope I didn't miscalculate you. You have to work hard and try your best. It will be up to you in the future."

A few inexplicable words made Yang Shucheng stunned for a moment.
