Thirty Seven: Curiosity Kills People

Lu Rui is a native of Zhaojia Village, Wannian County, which is only half an hour away from Chang'an City. She is only fifteen years old this year. In ancient times, she was already old enough to marry into her husband's family.

On the first day of the first lunar month this year, Lu Rui and her family went to Fu'an Temple, a famous temple in Wannian County, to pray and make wishes. She hoped that her family would be healthy and her marriage would be happy.

On the first day of the first lunar month, there are many people in the temple. At this time, every household has no farm work to do. The rare leisure time of the year will certainly not be wasted on visiting relatives, visiting friends, and playing.

This day is the beginning of a new year, rebirth and hope. People have good wishes and hope that this year will be smooth and peaceful for the country and the people, and that they can live a prosperous life and have a good start. Ask God, worship Buddha, and pray

, I hope that the gods and bodhisattvas in heaven can hear my voice and send blessings to bless the world.

After going to the main hall to kneel down and make a wish, Lu Rui was a little absent-minded. After all, he was a child who was undecided and very playful. The active Lu Rui left her parents and wandered alone in the temple. The layout of the temple was very exquisite and the environment was very quiet. Lu Rui was completely addicted.

When I went in, I forgot about the path under my feet and forgot about the time. I was tired after walking for a long time. When I wanted to go back, I found that I was lost. There was no one around, and it was so quiet!

Lu Rui was a little scared and was eager to find a way out, but she simply forgot where she came from. There were many roads around her, and Lu Rui stood in the middle, a little at a loss.

It was already very late, and the sun had already set. It gets dark quickly in winter, and soon the sky became very gloomy. There was still no movement around. It seemed like this was a restricted area, and no one was allowed to enter, but I was.

Lu Rui doesn't know how she got in.

We couldn't wait like this. My parents should be anxious. I randomly chose a road that seemed to have been taken by myself, hoping to find a way out. However, I accidentally entered a remote courtyard, thinking that maybe I could ask the people inside.

How to go back, Lu Rui walked in, and this was the beginning of Lu Rui's nightmare...

Lu Rui was trembling a little and her voice was intermittent. Zhang Yang handed her a cup of tea, stroked the warm teacup, and smelled the fragrance of tea floating on her nose. Lu Rui's mood gradually calmed down.

"Have these goods been arranged? If anything goes wrong, you know the punishment from the Lord!"

"Yes, yes, the arrangements have been made. I will never miss the master's important event! It's just that the quantity is still lacking. The quantity required by the master is really too large. The wind is tight at the moment, and it is difficult for us to get fresh goods.

Already."

"Well, you can take care of this yourself, just don't let the master do anything wrong!"

The speaker's voice was not concealed, as if he had not expected anyone else to come in here, so he had no scruples in speaking.

Lu Rui paused her feet and lowered her hand ready to knock on the door. Everyone is curious, and Lu Rui was the same. When she heard the conversation between the two, she was very curious about what was going on, so she put her ear close to the door frame and listened carefully.

Listen.

"Hmph! If the news leaks out, your life will be over!"

Hearing this, Lu Rui already knew that she seemed to have heard something she shouldn't have heard. This was no longer the category of watching the excitement. It was better not to get into trouble!

Turn around and get ready to run away!

Unfortunately, due to panic, I tripped over the flower bed in front of the door.

boom!

The sound was crisp! Lu Rui was dumbfounded and quickly picked up her feet and ran away! Unfortunately, the sound alerted the two people who were talking in the room!

"who!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two big men stood in front of Lu Rui, one behind the other. Their eyes were fierce, staring at Lu Rui like Little Red Riding Hood in the eyes of the Big Bad Wolf, and the Big Bad Wolf was beaming with joy.

Standing in front was a man in his forties, dressed in silk and satin. He was slightly fat and had fierce eyes. He was clearly the leader of the group of people Zhang Yang had encountered before - Mr. Wang.

Standing behind him was a bald monk. At this time, the monk no longer looked like an extraordinary and accomplished monk. His shiny forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which looked a bit funny in this cold winter.

"This is what you call safety precautions!"

Manager Wang's voice sounded like a messenger from hell. It was filled with cold air, and Lu Rui shivered.

"This this..."

The fat-headed monk stared at Lurui as if he wanted to skin her alive. It was all her fault. He would have to deal with this bitch later. The fat-headed monk did not have the compassion of a monk this time. He just wanted to

He taught the girl who had framed him into such an embarrassing situation a lesson, but his body was shaking like a little chicken. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, lowered his head and was speechless, waiting for the punishment from the steward.

"Hmph, I will report this matter, and it is up to the master to decide how to punish him!"

"Yes, yes, I hope the manager will intercede with the Lord on behalf of Yuankong!" Yuankong bent over. It was really difficult for a fat man to bend to such an extent, with a face like a bitter gourd. This time, he really fell into this stinky situation.

The girl has it!

"Master Manager, what should I do with this girl?"

Yuankong's fat face was squeezed into a flower, making people afraid to look directly at it. She was looking at Mr. Wang flatteringly. If there was a tail, it must be wagging.

He hated Lu Rui's bad deeds in his heart, and just wanted to vent his anger on her immediately, but with the manager in front of him, he still didn't dare to make the decision without authorization.

"Well, this girl looks pretty good!"

He reached out and grabbed Lu Rui's chin, turned her face to his side, and stared at it carefully.

"Since this batch of goods is insufficient, let's include her. She is a woman after all, and she can still be used for some time!"

Manager Wang put down his serious face and laughed together with Yuankong, like evil ghosts coming out of hell, their faces full of ferociousness!

"You, you, what on earth do you want to do?"

Lu Rui's voice had a shrill tone when she was frightened. She knew at this moment that she had fallen into the hands of bad people. Although she couldn't understand many of what they said, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that people would treat appointments as child's play.

How can one be so kind?

Curiosity can not only kill cats, but also people! Lu Rui regrets very much. She shouldn't have run around, shouldn't have eavesdropped on their conversations, shouldn't have...shouldn't have...

Lu Rui couldn't think anymore. The back of her head hurt, her vision went dark, and she didn't know anything anymore...

Lu Rui's voice was choked with sobs. Zhang Yang patted her back, blaming himself a little. Do you have to dig at others' painful feet? Even if you are eager to know the information, you should slow down or find other methods.

How cruel and inhumane is it to uncover the scars of others and shed blood like this? What role did you play in it?

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Come, have something to warm your stomach!"
