After being scumbag with the paranoid villain, I failed to escape

Chapter 125 The suspicious rice monk

The rice monks in the small kitchen noticed Si Yi as soon as he arrived, but they just thought that Si Yi was not full and wanted to come to the small kitchen to get some vegetarian food.

Because the meals to be prepared for the royal family in the morning have been prepared, some rice monks have left the small kitchen to rest, so there are only two or three rice monks that can be seen now.

Two of them were walking out carrying bamboo baskets containing discarded kitchen materials.

When he saw Si Yi coming, he saluted him with both hands and left.

There was only one rice monk who looked to be at least forty years old and was still cleaning the stove.

While cleaning up, he gave Si Yi some looks and asked in a hoarse voice: "The donor is not full yet and wants to get more vegetarian food? There is also a bowl of vegetable porridge on the chopping board by the window, which is warming.

There are also some delicious side dishes on the table, if you don’t mind, you can just take them away.”

The rice monk who spoke had a kind face and seemed to be easier to get along with.

Si Yi nodded and walked forward with his blind stick in hand. He looked like he was in trouble and asked, "I don't mind, but I'm just wondering if it would be convenient for you to help me pack the food."

At this time, the meal monk noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Si Yi's eyes. After realizing this, he stopped moving with an annoyed look, wiped his hands and went to help Si Yi pack the meal.

While waiting, Si Yiyou noticed that the Buddha string hanging around the rice monk's neck looked different from the ones who had just left. It was an extremely thin Buddha string.

Then he asked about it out loud.

"Oh, tell me this, the poor monk was not a monk at Jiutan Temple before. Five years ago, the poor monk stayed at Cheng'en Temple to work. After coming from there, some old habits have been retained."

After the monk finished explaining, he looked at Si Yi in confusion.

"But this donor, can you see with your eyes?"

Si Yi nodded: "I can see a little bit, but if I want to see clearly, I still can't."

"I see."

The rice monk suddenly understood that he had also packed the vegetable porridge and side dishes and put them all into the food box.

Si Yi heard the sound of him closing the lid, and when he reached out to take it, he continued: "Actually, when I come here now, besides getting food, I also want to ask you something."

"You should know something about the Chengen Temple fire that year, right?"

When the rice monk heard the words "Chengen Temple fire", he looked obviously startled.

Zuo Weiyue noticed this and continued to follow his movements closely, feeling that he should know something.

But then the rice monk covered his eyes and shook his head: "When this happened, the poor monk happened to go down the mountain to buy supplies. When he came back, the matter had been settled, so he didn't know much."

Seeing the wild look in his eyes when he said this, Zuo Weiyue was even more convinced that he must know something.

After the meal monk sent Si Yi out of the kitchen, he told Si Yi the abnormality she discovered.

"What should we do now? You have asked him directly about this matter, but he refuses to tell you. There must be some reason."

Si Yi walked to a deserted corridor, looked at the rabbit stuffed doll at the collar, and said calmly: "Don't worry, let's wait for him to get into trouble first. After I suddenly asked him about this, he will definitely take action.

At that time, all you need to do is see what he did or who he met somewhere."

Zuo Weiyue raised the doll's head to look at Si Yi, a little puzzled: "Why did he get into trouble? Didn't you ask anything from his mouth?"

As soon as she finished asking this question, Zuo Weiyue saw the rice monk she had met before leave the kitchen and walk out in a hurry.

Si Yi did not reply to her first. Instead, he held a jade blind stick in his hand and quickened his steps to find Azheng, asking him to ride a horse to catch up with the rice monk who had boarded a donkey cart.

The sky is gloomy now, and there is a distinct earthy smell in the air. It is probably going to rain.

The carriage carrying Zuo Weiyue and the two of them kept a good distance from the donkey carriage of the rice monk at a neither fast nor slow speed. When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the rain fell heavily.

The rice-headed monk paused for a moment, put on the raincoat on the donkey cart, and then continued to drive the donkey forward.

After going down the mountain, the rice monk was obviously more alert, and he looked behind him through the rain and thick rain and fog from time to time.

Ah Zheng noticed this and had no choice but to slow down his horse to follow.

It was almost a quarter past three when the donkey cart at the front was stopped by the rice-headed monk.

Si Yi held up an umbrella and got off the carriage. He found that the donkey carriage was parked behind a small farmhouse that looked very ordinary, and he walked straight in.

It can be seen that the rice monk entered in a hurry. He didn't even close the wooden door, which made it easy for Si Yi to enter the small courtyard unimpeded.

"Chunxi, sorry, someone brought up what happened that day again today. I have to change your place quickly, otherwise we will both be in big trouble!"

When Zuo Weiyue followed Si Yi to the place, she heard the rice monk saying anxiously in a hoarse voice.

Looking inside, a middle-aged woman with a sick look on her face was lying on the couch.

After hearing what the rice monk said, he coughed twice violently, his eyes full of horror: "How could someone come to investigate this matter again? This matter passed back then, and it has been relatively peaceful in the past five years. Did you leak it before?

What?"

When the rice monk put the clothes he took out of the closet into his bag, he denied: "How could it be me who said that? I guess something went wrong over there and someone came directly to us.

.”

"How could this happen? The one who promised at that time would never let us get involved again."

As the middle-aged woman spoke, she opened the quilt and wanted to get down, but was stopped by the sound of the wooden door being pushed open.

After Si Yi heard the general idea and determined that these two people were closely related to the Chengen Temple fire, he put away the paper umbrella in his hand and handed it to Azheng who was following him.

Then he pushed the wooden door completely open, and a long shadow fell on the earthen floor inside the house under the skylight. Along with the flash of lightning outside, the rice monk and the middle-aged woman were startled.

The young man who appeared at the door was wearing a snow-colored fox fur cloak and the dark purple clothes he was wearing. He looked very familiar. The rice monk recognized him at a glance. He was the young man who had come to him to beg for a meal not long ago.

But even now, he was still lucky that Si Yi didn't hear much. After suppressing his panic, he frowned and asked: "This benefactor, I wonder what you followed the poor monk down the mountain for?"

Si Yi walked in with his blind stick in hand long before the rice monk said anything.

The blind cane hit the earthen ground, making a neither light nor heavy sound, which fell in the ears of the rice-head monk and the middle-aged woman, but it was like an alarm bell, and each time it sounded, it made the two of them feel better for a moment.

Si Yi stopped in front of the rice monk, with a faint smile on his handsome face, and said in a warm voice: "I have already heard what you two just said."

Take a walk through the plot.
