Old man Mu is still alone, wearing a half-sized black cotton robe, wearing a black felt hat, black cotton pants and black 100-layer shoes...... Coupled with the dust on his head and face, where there is a little bit of a master's style, it is exactly the same as the old man basking in the sun under the wall of Liujiaao.

Qiu Chen rushed into the gatehouse angrily, Old Man Mu was already sitting by the charcoal fire and roasting, as soon as he saw Qiu Chen enter the door, Old Man Mu did not look guilty at all, stared at Qiu Chen for a moment, and then frowned: "You didn't take the medicine I left for you?" ”

Qiu Chen was full of annoyance, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned when he interrupted him like this. Moreover, Old Man Mu had worked hard to make so many pills out, but she was troublesome, and she was angry that the old man had abducted Man'er, so she stopped for several months.

She hesitated for a moment, and didn't see how Old Man Mu moved, but she had already come to Qiu Chen's side, and picked up Qiu Chen's wrist, and pressed the three fingers of her index finger, middle finger, and ring finger on her pulse.

Qiu Chen awkwardly wanted to withdraw her hand, but it seemed that Old Man Mu's fingers were gently resting on it like iron tongs, and her arm couldn't move at all.

"Don't move! Beware of internal forces hurting you! Old man Mu lowered his eyelids, didn't lift the ground, and only warned in a low voice.

Qiu Chen pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to move again. Her arms and shoulders were numb and she couldn't move, what else could she move...... However, thinking about the numbness just now, she has never experienced it, so she thinks it is the internal force that Old Man Mu said, right?!

After a while, Old Man Mu let go of Qiu Chen's wrist, grabbed the other arm and checked the pulse for a long time, and then let go, but his brows wrinkled deeper, and he stared at Qiu Chen with angry eyes and said, "Why are you disobedient to a stinky girl?" Let you take the medicine on time to recuperate, how dare you stop the medicine? ”

At first, when he heard the anger of Old Man Mu when he came back, after such a back and forth, it dispersed a lot, Qiu Chen pursed his lips, walked straight to the charcoal stove and sat down, stretched out his hand to roast the fire and said: "I am in good health, I can eat, sleep and work, and I am not sick, what medicine do I take?" It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous......"

"You girl, what, alas!" Old man Mu blew his beard and glared at him and wanted to accuse, but looking at Qiu Chen's accusatory eyes that looked at him quietly, he couldn't help but turn his head away and coughed, and then continued, "I know that you are annoyed that I took away the little girl, but you can't be angry with your body......"

Speaking of this, Old Man Mu simply slowed down his tone, sat down on the foot bed opposite Qiu Chen, and said slowly: "You were too tired before, your body was already weak, and then you were too sad and seriously ill...... I found in your pulse that your illness almost killed you, but somehow kept you alive. Although you saved your life, your body was also very short in that serious illness, and since then, although you have gradually maintained it, bird's nest and red dates and the like are used for ordinary health preservation, but they are used for your body, which is a big loss and a big void, but it has no effect at all. Moreover, from the pulse, your three souls and seven spirits always seem to have a sense of floating and no return, although this matter is not a disease, but the spirit is the foundation of life, without the spirit, people will lose their lives. The spirit floats, your already weak body grows day by day, maybe the oil will soon run out, maybe the spirit will escape from the body, then you won't be able to live......"

If Qiu Chen didn't care about what Old Man Mu said before, she couldn't help but be terrified when she heard Old Man Mu mention the serious illness and the Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

I don't know how she came to this world, she is completely contrary to her cognition and concept, but this happened, she came to this world, but her body changed, so what state did she come over? Do people really have such a thing as three souls and seven spirits? Can the human soul exist independently of the body? So, what is she? Resurrection of the dead? Or is it the seizure mentioned in the cultivation of the true fantasy?

She completely scoffed at these things before and ignored them!

Her face was very ugly, she couldn't hide it at all, and she didn't have the energy to hide it, and she trembled for a long time before Qiu Chen spit out a sentence with difficulty: "Do people really have souls?" ”

Old man Mu looked at Qiu Chen's pale face, and was puzzled, and when he heard her ask, he couldn't help laughing: "You girl, how can people live without souls?" Without a soul, wouldn't you become a walking corpse? ”

The Walking Dead? Walking meat? What is she?

Qiu Chen shivered, and his teeth tightened a little.

"Alas, you said you are a girl......" Old man Mu looked at Qiu Chen's face in horror, and he didn't think much about it, after all, when many people mention souls and the like, they are often associated with those ghost stories, and it is normal to be afraid and afraid.

He didn't care about explaining anything at this time, he raised his hand and patted Qiu Chen's back a few times, and quickly rubbed a few places with his fingers, Qiu Chen felt a long breath come out of his mouth, and the horror and nervousness in his heart seemed to be relieved all of a sudden.

"Master Mu, what are these souls you are talking about, are they really true? I think there's nothing wrong with it, right? How can I say that my soul is unstable? Qiu Chen still couldn't let go of this question.

This question has been bothering her since she appeared here inexplicably, but this matter is regarded by her as an unspeakable secret, in case it is known that she is not the original Begonia, but someone from another world, she doubts that she will be eliminated as a demon and a monster. Even when she first came here, she was full of uncertainty and rejection in this world, and she never thought of ending her life.

Since she has come alive in this world, then in modern times, she is estimated to have been declared dead, and even her body has been sent to the crematorium to melt away, if she is not here, can she go back? She didn't dare take that risk. In her understanding, it was better to be alive than dead. There is hope to live!

Therefore, she has always let herself live hard, let herself work hard to integrate into the identity and life of Begonia, and gradually adapted to this place and lived a prosperous life. But this fundamental question has always been pressing on her heart, sometimes midnight dreams will make her at a loss, she wonders if she will always be here, whether she will open her eyes again and inexplicably return to the modern era, or, inexplicably lose this unexpected life, these make her confused and uneasy...... It's just that she is well disguised on the surface, and no one knows the Tao to outsiders.

Today, Old Man Mu's words were like a needle that went straight to the lesion, and suddenly punctured the abscess she was trying to hide and didn't want people to know. The pain was inevitable, but it also gave her a sense of relief, and she found a breakthrough and asked about her long-standing doubts and uneasiness.

Old man Mu took the kettle from the charcoal stove and poured a glass of water, then took out a small bottle from his arms, poured a few drops of brown liquid medicine into it, shook it and handed it to Qiu Chen, signaling her to drink.

Although Old Man Mu has a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, he is both righteous and evil, and he is moody and casual, Qiu Chen feels that he has no ill will towards her or her family from the bottom of his heart, and even has a feeling of love and care for children from the old man, so that she dares to argue with such a legendary master who has mastered kung fu and poison, and can even run to question him so bluntly...... I have never seen the old man in front of me differently.

At this moment, Old Man Mu handed over a cup of potion, Qiu Chen also didn't think about it, took it and drank it, and then held the empty cup in his hand, but his eyes kept staring at Old Man Mu, waiting for him to explain to her.

Old man Mu looked at Qiu Chen like this without hesitation, and drank the potion he handed over without even thinking about it, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart. How long has it been since he made a name for himself that no one has treated him so peacefully, without hesitation, without doubt, without ...... Fear? Those people, even those who begged him to cure their illnesses and save their lives, every time they used his medicine, they would always show a touch of fear, how could the woman in front of him be so frank!

Old Man Mu's face softened a lot, he looked at Qiu Chen with a smile, and said, "People naturally have three souls and six spirits. But the three souls and six spirits are not the ghosts and gods mentioned in the strange chronicles, and there is nothing to be afraid of, everyone has their own three souls and six spirits, which are inherited from the essence of their parents, inheriting the essence of heaven and earth, contained in the essence of the five grains, rain and dew, and fused into it. Only when a person has a soul can he see, speak, think, distinguish between right and wrong, distinguish between good and evil, cry and laugh, and use seven emotions, six desires and five aspirations...... Under normal circumstances, if the soul is safe, the body will be healthy, and if the soul is restless, the body will suffer from various diseases, especially emotional diseases, which will often hurt the soul. You are overly sad because of the sudden bad news of your husband's death, which hurts your soul and causes a serious illness, and the soul is not too abnormal, but you are also different, and the soul will gradually stabilize when people are healed from illness...... According to my thoughts, it should be that you injured the root at the beginning, which hurt the soul is far more difficult to heal than the injury to the flesh and bones, and if necessary, you must also take medicine to recuperate, so I left you medicine, not only to regulate your injured soul, but also to regulate your previous weak body...... Originally, I went to Nanyi this time, and in addition to looking for a few drugs to regulate the muscles and bones for the little girl, I was looking for a requiem remedy for you, but I could only use it if you took the medicine I left behind to regulate your body...... You, but you stopped for a few months...... I just went to the capital, I have seen it just now, your body conditioning is not bad, from today onwards, I will start to give you requiem medicine. ”

"Today?" Somehow, Qiu Chen felt a little dizzy, and tried his best to concentrate his energy to listen to Old Man Mu explain the matter of the soul, but he only caught this sentence in the end, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Today!" Old man Mu's eyes were calm, and his cloudy gaze, which was originally the same as that of an ordinary old man, suddenly became black and clear.

Qiu Chen felt a slight suspicion in her heart, but a more intense dizziness made her not grasp the essence of this suspicion, and the next moment, she felt that her consciousness was drowsy, and she gradually lost consciousness.

She seemed to be asleep, and it seemed like she was back to that horrible night.

Heavy rain fell from the sky, and the sky seemed to be poked into a hole, and the torrential rain turned the metropolis she was in, which was known for its dryness, into a country in the water.

The flat and wide road has become a river, and when you look out of the car, the rain curtain that connects the sky and the ground is connected into a piece, and it is almost impossible to tell that it is raining, more like the Tianhe is hanging upside down and pouring down directly. Her car cautiously followed the flow of traffic, not daring to turn off, not daring to brake, not daring to pause in the slightest, many vehicles on the road had broken down in the water, and the owner stood in the rain outside the car with a sad face. At this time, there is no rescue force that can take care of towing someone to rescue someone, and there are too many low-lying areas that are afraid that they have been flooded, and the residents there need to be evacuated and resettled...... A low-lying area that she usually cares about has made her caution a joke. The car shook a few times in an instant and then broke down. There were already a few cars parked in front of her, and she didn't notice because of the heavy rain and the slow speed. The car behind it honked its horn twice and then turned off......

She looked out the window at the heavy rain, full of panic and nervousness...... Do you want to be trapped in the rain?

It didn't take long for her to wait for a river beside the road, which had hardly been forgotten to be watered a few times, to prove its existence and might with a torrent of water. Barely reacting to her, a murky flood mixed with all sorts of city garbage rushed in, submerging dozens of cars trapped in the low-lying areas......

The doors were locked and could not be opened, the windows could not be broken, the air in the carriage was getting less and less, and water quickly poured in through countless cracks and holes, covering her waist, chest, and neck...... The last consciousness was frozen in a dark darkness.

Qiu Chen slept very unsteadily this night, and from time to time she muttered words that no one could understand, broken words, and unintelligible words, which made Chen and Yufeng Qingxing, who were guarding her bed, very worried. All they could do was wash them with a handkerchief and wipe away the layers of cold sweat on Qiu Chen's forehead, but they didn't dare to disturb her or wake her up...... Because Mr. Mu said that after taking the medicine, he will recall many frightened and sad things in his dreams, but this is a necessary process for treatment, just like having a sore, there is no way to make the sore heal by covering it, you can only cut open the carbuncle, remove the pus, and even cut off the carrion to cure the sore.

This night, Qiu Chen slept hard and long, slept for two days and two nights, repeated that terrifying night countless times, and after the end, she was tired and tired, and she didn't feel afraid and afraid in the face of the flood coming from Taotao, so she woke up.

The pale bamboo blue bed tent is embroidered with a delicate bamboo branch pattern...... It's familiar, it's reassuring......

This time, she was not in the slightest trance and dazed, and when she opened her eyes, she felt as if she had been reborn again, and it was as if she had finally recognized something, finally determined something.

Although, she still couldn't figure out why she had come here; Although, she still didn't know if the Dao Soul existed...... However, at this time, after experiencing countless floods, she opened her eyes and saw everything she was familiar with, and she was sincerely relaxed and happy.

This is her home, and here, there are her children and family......

The next moment, she felt sticky and greasy, very uncomfortable. She sat up with her support without dizziness or discomfort, except for the stickiness on her body, she was refreshed and clear-minded. It's a good feeling.

"Ma'am?" Yufeng's voice sounded, Qiu Chen turned around and saw Yufeng's girl pick up a bed tent and look in, the surprise on her face was undisguised, almost losing her usual composure and composure.

Looking at the familiar people, the joy in Qiu Chen's heart added another layer, and he couldn't help but smile at Yufeng: "Yufeng, what time is it?" I seem to be up late today! ”

"Ma'am, are you awake? You're awake, you've been asleep for two days and two nights......" Without waiting for Yufeng to answer, Qingxing came in from outside the tent, and as soon as she saw Qiu Chen, she said in a bara and said, as she spoke, she couldn't help but redden, and tears fell from her eyes.

was crying like this, Yufeng's eyes were also red, and the two girls were obviously full of joy, but they burst into tears, so that Qiu Chen couldn't even be surprised that he had slept for so long, and there were two days and two nights!

"Okay, okay, it's just a little heavier...... Qiu Chen comforted the two girls, and frowned again, "I've slept for too long, and my body is sticky, you go get some hot water, I have to take a bath!" ”

Qingxing reacted quickly, wiping her tears, and promised repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Mrs., please wait, I'll go and release water for you...... The water is always ready, just a moment! ”

Qingxing chirped and moved like the wind to prepare water, and Qiu Chen turned his head and asked Yufeng, who had already collected her tears. When I asked, I found out that she fainted and fell asleep in the gatehouse that day, and Mr. Mu asked the girl waiting outside the door to carry her back, and Mr. Mu also said that it was for his wife to treat her illness, and she might have to sleep longer, so she couldn't be disturbed, and Qiu Chen had to wake up by herself.

"Sure enough!" Qiu Chen only remembered the cup of potion that Old Man Mu gave her that day, at that time she just thought that it was some kind of frightening medicine and didn't go to her heart, but now that she thought about it, it must be the requiem medicine that Old Man Mu said!

Why does this old man always like to do such things, and abduct Man'er without saying a word, and go for almost a year; This time she was treated, but she didn't say a word......

"What else did the old man say?" Qiu Chen gritted his teeth and asked.

Yufeng had basically regained her composure at this time, and said with a smile: "No, Mr. Mu just told me a few words, and I didn't say anything more." ”

Qiu Chen snorted and didn't ask any more. Qingxing rushed back and said that the water was ready, so she put these aside for the time being and went into the ear room to take a bath.

After bathing and changing into a dry thin cotton shirt and pants, Qiu Chen walked out of the ear room with wet hair and sat down in front of the dresser. Chen, Chengying Hanguang and others also learned that Qiu Chen had woken up and hurried over.

After saying goodbye, Chengying Hanguang went into the ear room to clean up, and Qiu Chen twisted her hair by Yufeng, while listening to Chen's introduction of the situation in the past two days.

"The little lady and the little master are all good, and everything in the house is also very good...... Yesterday, Qingjiang's family came back, and he came back with a letter, saying that the second uncle would come back after the tenth day of the new year...... Counting it up, it's today and tomorrow......"

Qiu Chen listened silently, Chen first briefly introduced, and then said that Chengzi and Ah Fu Aman studied and practiced very hard, no one cared about them, and they would practice in the morning and evening every day, and in the morning, afternoon and evening, the three of them were all reading and writing in the house of Ah Fu in the Westinghouse......

"Well, Chengzi and Ah Fu are both sensible, and Man'er's girl is more lively, with her two brothers taking care of her, and there is nothing wrong with thinking about it!" Speaking of the children, Qiu Chen's face was filled with a heartfelt smile.

Chen smiled: "Yufeng and Qingxing didn't make a sound, the little lady and the little young master didn't know that Mrs. Lu Dao was awake, otherwise they should have come over a long time ago." Mrs. didn't know what to say, you fell asleep in the past two days, but the little lady and the little master came over several times a day, and the little lady also told the story to the wife, and the little master also read two books to the wife...... Mrs. is a blessed person, not to mention anything else, the little master and the little lady will definitely be filial in the future. ”

Qiu Chen also felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and shook his head with a smile and said, "They are better off than anything else......

Chen wiped the corners of his eyes, nodded and said: "Mrs. is reasonable, although it is to raise children to prevent old age, but people like us will never lack people to serve, don't raising children just look forward to them having a good life!" ”

Hearing what Chen said, Qiu Chen smiled, his heart moved, and asked: "You have been with me for so long, and you haven't asked about your family history, you can know my mind so well, you must also have children, right?" ”

Chen was not surprised, and replied generously: "Yes, the slave maid is the son of the Yue Guo Mansion, and at the age of eight she was selected to serve in front of the only daughter of the Yue Guo Gong - that is, the mother of the Hou Ye. When she first entered the mansion, she was promoted to a third-class girl at the age of ten, and a first-class girl at the age of fifteen, and entered the Liangguo Mansion with the young lady...... Miss promised me to Ji Kui, the guard who was also the Duke of Yue, and had a son after marriage, the same year as Hou Ye, only two months older than Hou Ye, so I became Hou Ye's grandmother. Hou Ye was young and lost, and the Duke of Yue and the old lady couldn't stand the white-haired people sending the black-haired people, and they were overly sad, and they died one after another a year later...... Ji Kui escorted Hou Ye to the frontier, and died in battle two years later, and his son is now by Hou Ye's side...... Mrs. should have seen it, Han is a big one, and the Hou Ye changed his surname, surnamed Qin, called Qin Zhong! ”

Oh, the confidant left by the late mother is Qin Zheng's nurse, and her husband and children are accepted as henchmen by Qin Zheng's side...... It can be seen that the Chen family is really different in Qin Zheng's mind.

is such a person, but he was sent to him early by Qin Zheng...... Somehow, a strange warmth and joy suddenly welled up in Qiu Chen's heart.

Qin Zheng really used her heart, and she had already done so!

Thinking so, her face unconsciously showed a touch of joy.

Chen watched Qiu Chen's expression change from the side, replaced Yufeng with a look, combed Qiu Chen's hair with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Master Hou has been ashamed since he was a child, and five or six-year-old children have forced themselves to practice kung fu and archery every day...... There is hardly a good place on the body, and the injuries are tired and ......"

As if remembering Qin Zheng's misery at that time, Chen couldn't help wiping his tears, and then continued, "Since Miss is gone, Master Hou rarely smiles anymore, he is cold every day, and he is resolute in handling affairs, and he will not drag his feet at all...... Because the grandfather of the old country left some people and things for the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye was able to grow up smoothly, and he went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen...... Fortunately, Hou Yefu had a great life, he successfully escaped several times in distress, and was promoted step by step by virtue of his military exploits, and at the age of twenty-three, he became the youngest general since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, commanding more than 100,000 troops in the three northern provinces......"

------Off topic------

The eldest aunt came to the door again, and her stomach hurt, so that's all......
