When Murong Ling'er's frosty gaze swept over, He Yulan's heart trembled violently.
She never expected that the other party was so perceptive that her gaze only lingered on his face for a second or two before he noticed it quickly.
He Yulan couldn't help but wonder: This woman was definitely not ordinary. Just that moment of eye contact was like an invisible, overwhelming pressure surging over her, making her breath catch. What was her origin? What unfathomable thoughts and abilities did she possess? Even from this initial encounter, He Yulan felt that any future confrontation with her would be no easy task.
Murong Ling'er seemed to see through He Yulan's thoughts, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a scornful smile.
This smile made He Yulan even more uneasy.
At this moment, the dilapidated temple was extremely quiet, with not a sound at all. Only the sound of the rain kept coming, continuously hitting everyone's eardrums. The air was filled with a damp smell mixed with the smell of dust, making it difficult to breathe.
The sky outside the dilapidated temple was gloomy and dark, and the heavy dark clouds seemed to be pressing down on the heart, which also made the vision inside the dilapidated temple very blurry. The only few rays of light coming through the broken window frames seemed so weak and powerless.
The shabby statue in the corner was looming in the dim light, adding a bit of mystery and gloom, making people feel even more depressed.
Occasionally, a cool breeze squeezed in from the crack in the door, bringing a hint of chill, blowing on everyone's faces, as if a ruthless hand was wantonly stirring up their uneasy emotions.
The people in the temple were silent, each with their own thoughts, and the solemn atmosphere seemed to freeze time.
I don’t know when the rain outside stopped, and a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds came from far away.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the wet nurse hurried to the door of the dilapidated temple. When she saw the appearance of the person coming, her face turned pale in an instant, her body trembled violently, and she was so scared that she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The man on horseback seemed like a deadly evil star from the underworld, with a terrifying aura all around him. His face was covered by a ghost mask, making it difficult to see his full appearance, but one could sense the cold light emanating from his eyes behind the mask, as if it could freeze a person's soul.
The nurse's heart was beating wildly, as if it was going to burst out of her chest. Her legs were shaking uncontrollably, and her throat seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand. She couldn't utter a word, and only bursts of cold air came out from her forehead.
"Oh my God! There are... there are bandits..."
The panicked voice of the wet nurse suddenly rang out in the air, so sharp that it almost pierced the sky. Her face turned pale in an instant, and her legs trembled uncontrollably. She never expected that the first people to arrive were not the young master of the Yuan family's men, but this group of terrifying bandits.
For a moment, the nurse's mind went blank, and she had no time to think about why the bandits appeared at this critical moment.
"What should we do? Oh my God! Isn't this going to kill us?" The wet nurse muttered incoherently, and was extremely panicked.
She turned around as fast as she could and shouted at the top of her lungs, "The bandits are coming! Close the door quickly!" The voice was filled with endless fear and despair, as if it burst out from the depths of her soul.
The roar made everyone freeze in place as if they were under a spell.
It was not until the two dilapidated doors slammed shut that everyone woke up from their dream and panic spread like a tide.
The nurse was extremely anxious. She ran to He Yulan at lightning speed, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. She shouted anxiously to the maid, "Hurry up and find a way to hide the young lady. Don't let her get into any trouble!"
The maid was also frightened, but she suppressed her fear and pulled He Yulan inside.
However, before he had run a few steps, he heard the violent shouting and cursing of the bandits outside.
"Everyone inside, listen to me. Open the door obediently, and I might spare your life!"
"Haha, I'm really lucky today! This dilapidated temple looks like it has a lot of good things!"
The wet nurse's heart was in her throat when she heard these threats. She urged the maid to speed up and looked back, wondering if there was any place she could hide.
He Yulan was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "Nanny, I'm scared..."
The nurse gritted her teeth and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, young lady. I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you."
At this moment, there was a deafening roar coming from outside. It turned out that those vicious bandits were banging against the gate with thick logs!
The dull and rapid impact sounds were like death-prompting drumbeats, causing pain in the eardrums and making people terrified.
After the wet nurse comforted He Yulan, she hurriedly gathered all the servants and sent them to the door to block it with nervous expressions.
Huo Jianjie also ran to Murong Ling'er and anxiously told her to take Murong Chen to find a place to hide.
Murong Ling'er did not hesitate at all, and obediently led everyone to hide behind the ruined temple without stopping.
I had just hidden myself, my body was still shaking and I hadn't stood firm yet, when I heard a shrill scream coming from the front.
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
The sound seemed to tear the soul apart, and then, "Snap!"
"boom!"
All kinds of creepy sounds intertwined together.
The He family's servants had no idea that this wave of bandits would be so fierce and powerful. They didn't even have the ability to resist, and the gate was easily broken open.
Accompanied by the sound of swords piercing flesh and endless screams, everyone present was trembling with fear and their faces turned pale.
At this moment, the wet nurse dragged He Yulan all the way to the altar, but there was nowhere to hide.
Just when she was extremely anxious and like an ant on a hot pan, her eyes suddenly caught sight of the worn and stained tablecloth.
In an instant, an inspiration flashed through her mind like lightning. She grabbed He Yulan beside her without hesitation, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. Then she bent her body and prepared to quickly crawl under the altar to avoid the impending danger.
However, what she never expected was that the moment she reached out to lift the tablecloth, an extremely powerful force suddenly rushed out from inside like an overwhelming force, pushing her out fiercely.
The sudden force left the unsuspecting wet nurse no time to react. With a dull "bang", the wet nurse fell heavily to the cold, hard ground like a thrown sandbag.
"Ouch!" As the scream rang out, the nanny felt as if all the bones in her body were about to fall apart. The pain was unbearable. She subconsciously stretched out her hands and tightly covered her old waist, trying to relieve the piercing pain.
"This is my place, no one can snatch it from me!" Huo Shuixian clutched the tattered tablecloth tightly under the altar, her eyes full of vigilance, and shouted at the top of her lungs.
The nurse refused to give up. She gritted her teeth and climbed up, reaching out to lift the tablecloth again. "You vicious little bitch, this is not a place for you alone, let us in!"
Huo Shuixian grabbed the tablecloth with all her might, refusing to let go. "You old witch, I was here first, get out of here right now."
The two of them were in a stalemate, and the wet nurse was anxious and angry!
"You selfish thing, you are so cold-blooded and heartless!" The wet nurse cursed while trying desperately to snatch it.
Huo Shuixian was not to be outdone, "Humph! Who cares about who else at this moment? If you have the guts, find another place for yourself!"
