Bi He quickly pulled Jin Lan, but the person just brushed past Jin Lan and bumped into Bi He's shoulder. Even Jin Lan fell to the ground. Luckily, with Bi He's support, it didn't hurt, but Bi He was only injured by the seedling.

"Lan Er!" Madame SHen hurriedly went forward to help Jin Lan up and down, looking worried that she would be injured again.

"Mother, I'm fine, it's just that Bi He …" Jin Lan immediately laughed, indicating that he was safe and sound, then he turned to look at Bi He who had already been helped up by Hui Xiu, only to see that her face was pale white.

Before he could say anything, a sharp voice pierced in from behind.

"Don't all of you look blind? Can't you see that someone is passing by?"

Jin Lan's face suddenly turned cold, she recognized this voice, it was the woman who had just crashed into the Ye Mansion and bit back!

Madame SHen's face also did not look good, it was clear that she recognized who it was. It was just that her pavilion was not as lively as the girl in front of her, and she said calmly: "Is this lady mistaken? "If my daughter hadn't dodged so quickly, I'm afraid that she would have already been injured by this lady. How could she have passed by with such a rampage?"

The red clothed female saw that although Madame SHen and the others were dressed simply, their conversation revealed that they were not ordinary people. It was just that she was used to being carried by people around her since she was young, so naturally she was arrogant. Madame SHen retorted, then she immediately threw her rationality to the back of her head and jumped up while shouting, "There is only one path. If you all can leave, I can leave as well, why can't you all be considered as passing by? Don't tell me you think this isn't a road? "

Madame SHen had never seen someone who talked nonsense like this before. For a moment, he choked, his face turning ugly.

When the red-clothed female saw that the Madame SHen had turned silent due to her words, she thought that she was in the wrong and immediately became proud of herself. She lightly swung the horsewhip left and right, not worried at all that she would hit the other people who were preparing to enter the temple.

Seeing that Madame SHen was angered, Jin Lan's face darkened again. She looked up at the lady and coldly said: "Don't tell me this big sister likes to turn the tables on the right and wrong? In the morning, you clearly bumped into someone else's carriage, yet you still clung on to them. Now that my mother clearly said those words to you, yet you dragged yourself onto the road below, could it be that you are certain that you cannot open your mouth to compete with her? "

The woman in red felt embarrassed and angry as someone pointed out her thoughts. She immediately understood that these were the people who were sitting in the carriage this morning. Don't talk nonsense! "

"Oh?" Jin Lan raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer, "Did I say something wrong? Had my sister not run into someone else's carriage in the morning? Or did you not climb your way to the top just now? "

"You … "You're courting death!" The woman in red was furious. She grabbed her whip and was about to lash at Jin Lan, completely ignoring the fact that she was still a child.

Madame SHen's expression changed greatly as she tightly embraced Jin Lan in an attempt to stop the whip for her. Hui Xiu and Bi He also charged forward to protect Jin Lan and Madame SHen.

"Amitabha, please stop!" The woman in red's expression suddenly changed. She suddenly raised her head to look for the origin of the sound and saw an eleven to twelve year old handsome little Shamei walk out.

"What a meddling monk!" The woman in red snorted coldly, as if she was extremely fearful of this little Shamei. She fiercely glared at him, then turned her head back to look at Jin Lan and his group before squeezing out of the crowd and leaving without looking back.

Little Sha Mi didn't mind her spitting out evil words, so she walked straight in front of Madame SHen and Jin Lan, clasped her hands, and said to them, "Amitabha, Almsgiver is frightened."

The Madame SHen smiled and returned the greeting. "Thank you, Young Master Kongming, for helping me out." Since she was supporting the incense within her Lingji Temple, she naturally recognized that the little Shame in front of her was a disciple of the Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu.

Kongming's little Shamei extended his hand to invite them, "The room that the Almsgiver has decided on has already been cleaned up. Would you like to pay your respects at the Fa Hua Palace first, or go to the room to rest?"

Jin Lan and the Madame SHen looked at the distant crowd that followed. They were slightly afraid; if they went to worship the Bodhisattva now, they probably wouldn't even be able to touch the praying mat, right? It would be better to miss the time with the pilgrims, and the bumps and accidents along the way had long since caused everyone's faces to reveal traces of fatigue.

Madame SHen thought for a moment and said: "I'll have to trouble Young Master to take us to the side room."

Kong Ming and Little Shamei nodded, then led them to the east wing. Seeing that there was nothing else to see, the surrounding pilgrims also dispersed.

There were not many maidservants accompanying them this time, only Hui Xiu and Bi He. Xiao Ming, Sha Mi had arranged two rooms, which coincidentally happened to be the room for Jin Lan and the Madame SHen. Madame SHen settled Jin Lan down first before returning to his own room. The two did not live in the same place, but it was not far from each other, just a few rooms away.

Jin Lan carefully examined for Bi He, and after seeing that there were no obvious injuries, his face was no longer as pale as before. It must have been because she was distracted like before, and after a long time it recovered, and she heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Jin Lan was so concerned about her, warmth arose in Bi He's heart, and a bitter look appeared in the depths of her eyes. It had been a long time since this lady had treated him in such a manner.

Although she was a little tired, she was unable to sleep for the moment. Jin Lan simply sat on a chair by the window, while sizing up the furniture in the room, and casually chatted with Bi He about harmless matters.

Her body trembled slightly, and her voice also paused for a moment. But she quickly came to her senses, as if she had thought of something, and smiled towards Bi He: "Have you brought the candied kumquat fruit tea that you made?"

Bi He was startled, didn't the lady say she wouldn't bring it before she left? Why did she ask this again? and she said, "Did you forget? You say that the temple naturally needs to drink the tea prepared by the temple, so tell your servant not to bring it. "

"Is that so?" Jin Lan pouted and said, "It's just that after walking on the road for so long, the bumpiness of the carriage makes me feel uncomfortable. I only felt comfortable after eating some sweet and sour food and pressing down. I remember mother brought some."

Bi He was in a difficult situation, now that the lady was only by herself, and was planning to hide away the Bodhisattva for Christmas the next day, there were many pilgrims who came to the temple to stay the night, who knew what kind of family lived next door? Although the little Shame said that the East District was the place for the female family members to live, no one could guarantee that nothing would happen.

Seeing that she was hesitating, Jin Lan unhappily said, "It's only a few steps, you should return quickly!"

Bi He was helpless, seeing Jin Lan's insistence, she could only nod her head, pushed open the door and quickly went inside the Madame SHen.

Jin Lan was still sitting on his chair. After Bi He's figure disappeared from the window, he silently calculated the time in his heart, then stood up in annoyance, and muttered to himself: "How did I forget? The water needed to brew the fruit tea should be dewy. It seems like I need to find little master Kong Ming and ask him if there's any dewdrops in the temple. "

Just as she walked over to open the door, before she could even step over the threshold, she felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind her. Jin Lan's heart tightened, and just as she wanted to shout out, a hand suddenly covered her mouth, stopping her from speaking.

He was still a step too late. Jin Lan's heart trembled as he sighed inwardly.

The fingers of his hand that covered Jin Lan were slender with distinct joints, and there was a thin layer of cocoon around the mouth of the tiger. Her hands were wide and thick, covering her entire mouth and nose. In just a few moments, she was unable to catch her breath.

Even so, she did not move an inch, let alone struggle, afraid of angering the other party. She only followed the movements of the other person as he slowly retreated, occasionally coming into contact with the bruises on his elbows, not even making a sound.

That person saw that Jin Lan was young and seemed to be more obedient, so he noticed that she accelerated her chest. He bent his body and whispered into her ear, "I will let go, but you are not allowed to make any sound, otherwise …" As he spoke, he tightened his grip.

The voice seemed to squeeze out from his throat as the tone was suppressed to an extremely low level. An icy aura permeated the voice, causing Jin Lan to uncontrollably shiver. His body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered. She quickly nodded her head and felt her hand loosen a little. She waited for a little while and when she saw that she did not listen to him, she completely let go of her hand.

The sandalwood fragrance that was curling up in the smokehouse mixed with an indescribable scarlet sweetness formed a strange smell that quietly filled the entire room. Jin Lan couldn't care less as she gasped heavily for breath and her legs went soft.

She did not dare to look around. After the rise and fall of her chest gradually calmed down, she timidly opened her mouth and said, "If you want silver taels, you can take them from me. I … I closed my eyes, but I could not see your face, nor could I tell you what happened today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly quietened down. If it wasn't for the scorching heat coming from behind him, Jin Lan would have thought that that person didn't even exist. After a long while, she heard a faint laughter coming from behind her.

Facing such a mocking smile, despair flashed past Jin Lan's eyes. Although she could call for help now, she could not easily make a sound. Otherwise, that person would definitely break her slender neck before the sound could reach her. Judging from the method of bringing her back into the house, this was not a difficult task.

What should he do? This voice, this voice should be him right? Although it was suppressed, he could still recognize it. Jin Lan bit his lips, trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart. His body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Just what was he trying to do?

Just as both parties were silent, Bi He suddenly knocked on the door. "Miss, why did you lock the door?"

In an instant, Jin Lan felt a hand on his neck, the strength behind it was even stronger than when he was covering his mouth. But in a short moment, her white face was flushed red and she could not help but grab onto the cold hand, but she could not move it at all.
