Chapter 10 chapter Ten

When Di Gong woke up, he could only smell the scent of makeup and powder on the woman's body.He opened his eyes, and saw himself lying on a big bed with all his clothes on, with a sky-blue curtain stretched on top of the bed.He raised his hand to touch the back of his head, and suddenly came across a big lump, so painful that he quickly withdrew his hand. "Drink Kouxiang tea to soothe your throat!" Miss Ding Xiang said softly.She held the teacup in one hand, and supported Di Gong's heavy shoulders with the other.Duke Di only felt very dizzy. He greedily drank the cup of fragrant tea that Miss Clove handed to him, and felt a little relief in his mouth. —he finally understood what was going on.

"Miss Clove, it seems that someone sneaked up on me from behind, do you know who did it?" "I don't know. Master, I heard the door of my room slammed. I quickly opened the door and came out to see you lying on the floor in the corridor, unconscious. I guess the master is probably looking for me Then I dragged you into the room. Lie on my bed. I put a cold towel on your temple, and you slowly woke up." Duke Dee asked, "Did you see anyone in the corridor when you opened the door?" "The corridor was dark at the time, and no one was seen moving around."

"Can you hear footsteps?" "I didn't hear that either." Mr. Di smelled a scent, looked at Miss Ding Xiang suspiciously, and said, "Show me the sachet on your waist." Miss Dingxiang untied the embroidered sachet and handed it to Duke Di, who sniffed it close to Jiejian. The fragrance in the sachet was very strong, completely different from the delicate fragrance he smelled in the corridor.He smiled and returned the sachet to Miss Ding Xiang, and said, "How long have I passed out?" "It's been about an hour;—it's already midnight!" Miss Clove pursed her lips and complained.

"Thank you, Miss Ding Xiang, for saving my life. If you hadn't opened the door in time, I'm afraid that gangster would still harm me. I'll investigate it myself right now." Di Gong propped himself up and wanted to get out of the bed, but he felt top-heavy and dizzy, so he had to lie flat again. "Master Di, this blow is not light, Jian, let me help you down to that armchair." Di Gong leaned on the back of the chair, sipping fragrant tea slowly, while looking at Miss Ding Xiang. He found that although Miss Ding Xiang was not very beautiful, she had a kind of charm unique to an actress. She often played the heroine of martial arts in the troupe. , heroine, "therefore also has a kind of majestic and inviolable heroic spirit."

Miss Ding Xiang bandaged Di Gong's head with straw and some bruises.Duke Dee put on his hat, and felt a coolness on his forehead, and felt much more comfortable all over his body. He asked: "Why did Miss Ding Xiang vote for the theater troupe as an actress?" Miss Ding Xiang, Qi Rong said with a full face: "The family is poor, so I have to live here. Master, don't believe that actresses are prostitutes. Master Guan treats people very kindly, and we also conduct ourselves with integrity and guard ourselves like jade. We only know how to act and perform, and never cheer for others. Wealthy and wealthy people flatter me, let alone sell themselves. I have learned a little bit of martial arts since elementary school, so no one has ever come to trouble me."

Di Gong hurriedly asked: "Then, what about that Momo? Didn't he pester you?" "He was interested in me earlier, but he had a bad nose, and I ignored him afterwards. In fact, he is a person with a good heart, but he has a weird temper and looks a little ugly. Said In fact, I would really like to act on the same stage with him." "Did he have a bad relationship with Miss Ouyang? Or Miss Ouyang also made him feel bad, or she fell in love for a while and then left him." Miss Ding Xiang hesitated for a moment, and slowly replied: "No, no, Miss Ouyang has just joined the theater troupe recently, and she has nothing to do with Momo. I get along with Miss Ouyang in temperament, and Momo is a little jealous of her."

"I see. How long has Momo been in the troupe?". "It's been almost a year. But he often leaves the troupe suddenly. Master Guan doesn't care about it. When he comes, he acts together. When he goes, he doesn't care about food and doesn't take care of him very much. Master, Momota's original surname is Liu, and outsiders don't know much about it." One day, I saw the word "Liu" embroidered on the inside of his robe. There was only one thing that puzzled me. This Momo was very familiar with the temple. He must have been to Chaoyun Temple before I invited him here. "

Di Gong said: "No matter what, Miss Dingxiang should be careful. I suspect that Momo is a very dangerous person. At this moment, I am really worried for Miss Ouyang. You said that Miss Ouyang just joined the theater troupe recently, and you and her get along very well." , do you know her origin?" Miss Ding Xiang frowned, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I don't know Miss Ouyang's background, I only know that she is from the capital. She is very rich. In order to enter our troupe, she secretly gave it to Master Guan. A large sum of money, begging Master Guan to bring her to come here to act. She also tamed a big black bear, only obeying her orders, and others would be afraid of seeing it. She promised Master Guan not to receive salary. She only wanted to be with us One place. Master Guan told me not to tell outsiders about this matter. Since the master is the head of a county and the parents of the people, I dare not hide it. Miss Ouyang is very free in her actions, and Master Guan is profitable. Are you going to arrest her? So after entering this temple, except for performing on stage, she rarely hangs out with us, and always hides alone in the room with the black bear. Tonight she suddenly dressed up as a white rose, I really don't know why she did this. Master Guan was also very puzzled, so when Master Cai visited Master Guan just now, he was very nervous, for fear that something might happen to Miss Ouyang and the interview would be on his head. Master Guan regretted that he should not have agreed to Miss Ouyang It’s a strange request, master, please don’t mention this matter in front of Master Guan.”

Mr. Di smiled and nodded. He struggled to stand up and bid farewell to Miss Ding Xiang. He was about to go out when he staggered, and Miss Ding Xiang said: "No matter what the master thinks of Miss Ouyang, I always think she is an outstanding woman. I like her very much, I only hate that I am a woman, if I were a man, I would definitely marry her as my wife." Di Gong said with a smile: "Throw away these silly thoughts, how is this possible?" Miss Ding Xiang suddenly said: "Zong Li, a poor scholar, is always pestering us, saying some frivolous things." "Don't pay attention to him, he won't do you any harm. What's scary is Momo, an incredible person. He appears and disappears like a ghost, and his behavior is too suspicious. Yes, I think of it Now, Zong Li told me that Bai Meigui doesn't want to become a monk and practice, is this true?"

Miss Ding Xiang shouted: "No, I have talked with her many times. She is very determined to become a monk, and her mother, Mrs. Bao, is also very happy to let her be a Taoist nun. Master, she is too unsatisfactory in marriage. I look forward to transcending the world of mortals as soon as possible, cultivating my heart and mind, and living my life with the green light and yellow roll. Therefore, I came here from the capital specially, asking Zhenzhi to accept me as a disciple and give me the yellow crown." Di Gongdao: "I was going to Mrs. Bao's mother and daughter's room just now, but I was plotted against by gangsters on the way. It is already very late, and before I leave tomorrow morning, I want to visit them again. Oh, Momo's room is also here One floor?"

"Yes. Master! Turn to the east corridor, and the fourth room on the right is there."
