Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

The three of them carried the unconscious White Rose into Miss Lilac's room. Miss Dingxiang looked at the terrifying White Rose on the stretcher in surprise, and she hurriedly cleaned up the room and let White Rose lie on her bed. Di Gongdao: "Miss Dingxiang, quickly turn on the brazier. White Rose was tied up in the ten halls of hell by the gangsters in view. It was cloudy and cold, and her body was injured again. She was bleeding and almost lost her life. You need to be careful. Serve her, wash off the paint on her body, and then heal the wound on her chest. I'm going to get some golden wound ointment now."

Di Gong turned to Tao Gan and Zong Li and said: "You two watch the movement outside Miss Ding Xiang's room, and call Kang Yide. If Momo shows up, he will be captured on the spot, and you must not let him go." .” The two led the order and went out of the room, Tao Gan went to call Mr. Kang, Zong Li hid in a corner and observed the surrounding movement secretly.Di Gong went upstairs to his room to get the medicine. Di Gong went back to his room to get the medicine, put on a robe and went back to the corridor outside Miss Clove's room.Tao Gan reported: "Master, Mr. Kang is not in his room, and neither is that black bear."

Di Gongdao: "Go to Mrs. Bao's room and bring her here! Yes, put on this robe first, and be careful not to catch cold." Zong Li couldn't help asking: "Master, who is the gangster?" Di Gong said: "You will know in a moment." Tao Gan quickly came back and said, "Master, the door of Mrs. Bao's room is locked. I opened the door, and there was no one in the room. I saw Bai Meigui's bag of clothes, but Mrs. Bao's own luggage was gone. The two beds didn't look like anyone had slept in them." Duke Dee didn't speak, he cut his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the corridor.

After a while, Miss Dingxiang opened the door to invite them to enter the room.Bai Meigui was lying on the bed, still unconscious.The paint on his body has been washed off, and his chest has been wrapped with a piece of white gauze. Duke Di took out a small wooden box and a thin-necked orchid porcelain vase from his sleeve. "Miss Lilac, apply the golden wound ointment in this wooden box to the wound of White Rose, and the wound will heal within three days. It is very effective." Miss Ding Xiang said: "Master, there are no traces of violence by gangsters on Bai Meigui's body, but her scalp was scratched on her forehead. The puncture wound on her chest doesn't seem to be very deep."

Miss Clove applied the Jinchuang ointment on the breast of White Rose, and bandaged it again. Duke Di spilled a little white powder from the thin-necked orchid porcelain bottle, and lightly sprayed it into White Rose's nostrils.Bai Meigui sneezed a few times, groaned a few times, and gradually woke up. Di Gongdao: "Bai Meigui, you don't have to be afraid. I am the magistrate of this county, and I came here to catch the murderous gangsters and villains. You are safe now, and you can sleep well after a while." Di Gong signaled Zong Li to come forward and talk to her. Zong Li squatted close to the bed, softly calling her name.White Rose opened her beautiful big eyes, and she finally understood that she was saved.

"What's going on here? Could it be that I had a nightmare?" Zong Li said: "The previous things are over, Bai Meigui, you are saved. It was Master Di who saved your life." Bai Meigui glanced at Di Gong, with a grateful smile on her face. Di Gongdao: "White Rose, please tell me the details of this nightmare! I will capture the real culprit who killed you and avenge you. Tell me who got you into the ten halls of Yama." White Rose let out a long sigh, with tears in her eyes.Slowly said: "My brother dressed up as an actress and followed me to Chaoyun Temple. He came here to persuade me to go back to Chang'an. My parents objected to my being a nun as a nun, and my heart was broken. I couldn't make up my mind, I just felt in a dilemma. Mrs. Bao pushed me hard again. After the performance, my brother asked me to secretly go to his room to do business. I changed into his white dress, and I ran into you as soon as I walked up the corridor of the east building. .”

Duke Di smiled and said: "Yes, I know all about this before, what happened after you escaped from us in the corridor?" I was turning a hidden corner in the corridor when I happened to be bumped into by Mrs. Bao.Seeing my flustered and sneaky face, she was very suspicious and dragged me into the room.After entering the room, she asked me how I wanted to be.I was shaken by the matter of being a Taoist nun, and I clearly told Mrs. Bao what I meant.I haven't made up my mind yet, and said that I still want to discuss with Ms. Ouyang. "When Mrs. Bao heard this, she was furious, saying that I was ungrateful, that I was desecrating the sect, and that the actors were mean and obscene, and that they were all prostitutes. I felt very uncomfortable at that time. I had never seen Mrs. Bao lose her temper so much. Mrs. Bao then said, of course, I have to make the final decision on whether to be a Taoist nun or not, and she said that she would go to Zhenzhi Zhenren for advice. After a while, she came back to my room and told me that Zhenzhi wanted to see me."

"Mrs. Bao led me zigzagging, up and down, and came to a small room. Mrs. Bao handed me a bundle and asked me to change into a Taoist robe and a yellow crown. She said she wanted to see Zhenzhizhenren must dress like this. I understood that she intended to force me to become a Taoist nun. I refused her request, and Mrs. Bao changed her face again, rushed forward angrily, grabbed me and tore off my dress, Push me into the next room." "I opened my eyes and saw that it was a very luxurious and elegantly furnished bedroom. There was a large ebony bed against the back wall, and the yellow curtains on the bed were half-opened. A man's voice came: 'Beauty, let me come. I'll tie you a yellow crown." I was terrified. I realized that I had fallen into the trap of the gangster, and I had fallen into a terrible trap. I ran away, but before I reached the door, Mrs. Bao pulled me away again. I grabbed it, and she tied my hands behind my back with a rope, grabbed my hair and dragged me to the bed. I kicked my feet desperately, calling for help. There was another voice in the yellow tent: "Let her go, I want Persuade her well.' I yelled, Mrs. Bao forced me to the ground in front of the bed, and then retreated to the side. There was a horrible laugh from the bed, which made my hair swell.'How can such white and tender skin stand up? Slapping? Let her have a good rest, I will be unhappy if I don’t obey tomorrow.’ I haven’t understood what the meaning of ‘rest’ is, Mrs. Bao suddenly stepped forward and punched me on the sun star, my eyes were black , I just feel top-heavy and don’t know anything.”

"When I woke up, I couldn't move. Five or six iron chains bound me tightly. I was smeared with paint and stuffed with cotton in my mouth. A green-faced and long-toothed Yaksha was pointing a sharp halberd at my chest." Chest. I thought in a daze that I was in the underworld, surrounded by bull-headed horses and ghosts, but I felt that Wei Wei was still in the world. Slowly I realized that the Yaksha holding the halberd was originally carved from wood and could not move at all. " "At this time, I heard several people passing by in a hurry, and one of them was still holding a lantern. I was about to shout, but I couldn't make a sound. I was desperate, and I had to cry alone."

When Zong Li heard this, hot tears fell into Bai Meigui's hands like broken beads. Bai Meigui let out a long breath, looked at Zong Li affectionately, and continued in a trembling voice: "Since someone has walked past, they will always come back. I struggled desperately to get your attention, Yasha's halberd pierced into my flesh, and the blood oozed out, staining the white paint on my body red. It gave me courage, I think if you see my chest bleeding, you won't think I'm a wooden statue!" "After a while, I saw another person coming back, but he hurried away without even looking at me. I was very sad. But I had courage and hope, and I waited patiently. Then, as expected, you guys came again and saved me..."

Di Gongdao: "Let me ask you, Bai Meigui, do you know which room Mrs. Bao led you to? What places did you pass along the way?" Bai Meigui frowned, thought for a while, then shook her head, "I really can't remember." "Let me ask you again, can you recognize the voice of the man in the yellow tent? Is it true wisdom?" White Rose shook her head again. "I'll never forget this evil voice, but it's not like the voice of someone I've ever seen. It's very strange, and it's not from a real person. My ears are very good. It's the first time you have passed through Yama Ten When I was in the palace, I heard the voice of Mr. Zong." She said, smiling shyly. Di Gongdao: "It was Mr. Zong's words that enlightened me. Otherwise, I would have never imagined that you would be locked up in that terrible place! These gangsters are really too vicious." Bai Meigui looked at Zong Li affectionately again, her cheeks flushed slightly. "Thank you Mr. Zong for saving your life..." There is a knock on the door.Miss Ding Xiang opened the door, Mr. Kang walked in, he was already dressed as a man. Miss Clove was shocked: "Who are you?! Ouyang..." Mr. Kang smiled slightly and said, "I just took my bear for a walk outside, why is this room so noisy?" Di Gongdao: "Young Master Kang came just in time, I'll take a step first, Miss Ding Xiang will tell you in detail what happened here." Di Gong and Tao Gan left Miss Ding Xiang's room. Miss Ding Xiang couldn't help but coquettishly said, "So you're a man, and you've been cheating me all this time." Mr. Kang hugged Miss Ding Xiang into his arms, Miss Ding Xiang blushed and pushed Mr. Kang away forcefully. "Look at your sister!" Mr. Kang saw that there was indeed a white rose lying on the bed, while Zong Li stood quietly by the bed without saying a word.
