Chapter 35: Tsukidan
After returning to the ward with Ji Yan, the two unexpectedly found that Wei Fang had actually woken up.
However, seeing that she was extremely pale, without the slightest trace of blood, and that she looked like she was struggling to open her eyes, it was clear to anyone that she was in a very bad situation.
However, whether it was her or Wang Wanquan, the expressions on the faces of the two did not see too much frustration and sadness, Wang Wanquan still had a plain, simple but reassuring smile on his face, and Wei Fang, although extremely weak, also tried to squeeze out a smile, and struggled to chat with Wang Wanquan without a word.
Zhou Jing on the side had already turned his body on his back, facing the window of the ward, and did not look back at this side at all.
Judging from her slightly shrugged shoulders and back, it can be imagined that she must be in a very bad mood at the moment.
Seeing this scene, even though Xu Zhuo and Ji Yan are far more knowledgeable than ordinary people because of the production of TV programs, they can't help but be gloomy.
However, Wang Wanquan heard the footsteps of the two walking in, turned around and smiled at the two, then lowered his head and said something to Wei Fang, and got up to meet the two.
"Master Xu, let's go out and say a few words."
Xu Zhuo was stunned, looked at the calm expression on Wang Wanquan's face, nodded, and walked out of the ward with him.
After coming to the corner where he was staying with Ji Yan just now, Wang Wanquan groped in his arms for a while, took out a small package wrapped in a red cloth, and then slowly opened it, but there was a layer of red banknotes inside.
"Master Xu, Miss Zhou said that you paid for the hospitalization examination just now, I asked, I paid a thousand yuan just now, and I will give it to you now."
Xu Zhuo was stunned.
When he was at Wang Wanquan's house just now, he told Zhou Jing that the money should be paid in advance with his own remuneration, but Zhou Jing refused.
Now after listening to Wang Wanquan's meaning, it is clear that Zhou Jing took out the money, but used his name.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo frowned and hurriedly pushed back.
"What are you talking about? My sister-in-law is still in the hospital bed, and there is money to spend, why are you in such a hurry for me? Keep it for now. ”
Wang Wanquan shook his head and was unmoved.
"No, the money must be paid back to you. Because I have already discussed with her, I will be discharged from the hospital in a while and move back in. ”
"Discharged?" Xu Zhuo couldn't help but shout loudly. "What are you kidding! My sister-in-law can still ...... Can be returned...... Still like this, you actually let her out of the hospital? The doctor said that she would be hospitalized for more observation. ”
Wang Wanquan raised his head slightly, stared at Xu Zhuo's eyes for a while, and showed an extremely indifferent smile.
"Master Xu, you don't have to lie to me. I'm a little honest, but I'm not stupid. The doctor's appearance just now is actually saying that she won't live long, right? ”
"How can there be that ......?"
Wang Wanquan raised his hand and interrupted Xu Zhuo's words: "When I took her around to see a doctor, I heard a lot of such words. The reaction of the doctor just now was no different from that of other doctors, anyway, they can't just say that the patient is hopeless, can they? ”
Xu Zhuo looked at Wang Wanquan blankly.
He had always thought that this middle-aged man, who was born with a disability and had a difficult life since he was a child, was an honest man, and he was afraid that he didn't even know much about human affairs, but now it seems that he was very wrong.
"She and I have been to the hospital too many times, and she has long been tired of this place and does not like to come here. The two of us have already discussed that no matter what happens in the future, even if we are going to die, we will not come to the hospital, and if we want to die, we will die at home. Today, if it weren't for this situation, she would never have stepped through the hospital door again. She also told me just now that she didn't want to stay here, she wanted to go home and live. So ......"
Wang Wanquan stuffed the 1,000 yuan he had counted in his hand towards Xu Zhuo and motioned for him to accept it.
Xu Zhuo stared at Wang Wanquan for a while, then turned his head to look at the door of the ward, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh.
"Have you really decided?"
"Hmm." Wang Wanquan simply nodded.
Xu Zhuo sighed again, reached out to take the money, stuffed it into his pocket, then took a deep breath, and suddenly slapped Wang Wanquan on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you can be discharged from the hospital with your sister-in-law and stay at home, but Brother Wang, don't give up hope." Until the last minute, a miracle may happen! ”
Of course, Wang Wanquan regarded Xu Zhuo's words as meaningless empty comfort, shook his head with a smile, and didn't say anything more.
Xu Zhuo returned to the ward with him, pulled Zhou Jing and Ji Yan, and told them Wang Wanquan's decision.
At first, both of them were very opposed to Wei Fang being discharged from the hospital directly, but after hearing Xu Zhuo relay Wang Wanquan's words just now, they could only agree gloomily.
With the help of Ji Yan's friends and Wang Wanquan's resolute attitude, the hospital could only reluctantly agree to Wei Fang's discharge application.
An hour later, the group returned to Wang Wanquan's dilapidated hut in the northwest of the city.
As soon as the two of them settled down, Zhou Jing received a phone call, and then reluctantly announced to Xu Zhuo that there was something in the studio for her to go back.
Before leaving, she took out 500 yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into Wang Wanquan's hand, not giving Wang Wanquan a chance to shirk at all, turned around and left.
After Xu Zhuo and Ji Yan stayed for a while, under the urging of Wang Wanquan, they also said goodbye and left.
Of course, before leaving, the two of them took advantage of Wang Wanquan's inattention, and quietly left 500 yuan each.
After getting into Ji Yan's car, the two returned to the Great Bodhi Temple in silence all the way.
Because of Wang Wanquan and Wei Fang's affairs, the two of them spent nearly three hours before and after, and when they returned to the Great Bodhi Temple again, the sun was already close to the top of the mountain, and it seemed that it was about to fall.
As soon as the two of them walked into the courtyard of the backyard of the Great Bodhi Temple, which was really like the courtyard where the master lived, they smelled a very faint, but clearly audible aroma hit their faces, which made people have a great appetite just by smelling it.
"Haha, Xiaoyan, Xu Zhuo, you came back just in time." Rego caught a glimpse of the two of them and laughed and beckoned them to take their seats. "I just made a vegetarian dinner under the guidance of Master Zhenru, how about you come and try the craft I have learned?"
Ji Yan happily sat down, but Xu Zhuo was not in the mood, and came directly to Master Zhenru, and asked in a low voice, "Master......"
"Amitabha." Master Zhenru pronounced a Buddha name, planned Xu Clumsy's words, and then looked back at the wing room behind him.
Xu Zhuo understood, explained to Rego and Ji Yan, and entered the wing room with Master Zhenru.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Zhuo couldn't wait to ask: "Master, you didn't reply to my WeChat just now, is there no panacea to kill her?" ”
"Panacea?" Master Zhenru was slightly surprised, thought for a while, came to a corner of the room, took out a mobile phone, opened it, and nodded suddenly. "Lord Lei Shi just invited Lao Wei to guide him to make vegetarian food, but he forgot to bring his mobile phone, so he didn't see this WeChat. You say a panacea...... The elixir that can bring the dead back to life only exists in legends, and there should be no such thing now. But the medicine that can sustain life ......"
Master Zhenru closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slowly in Xu Zhuo's expectant gaze.
"This medicine should be available."
"What's that? How can I get started? Xu Zhuo immediately asked with great joy.
Master Zhenru sighed softly and shook his head.
"There is such a drug, but it is not easy for ordinary people to take it. If you don't have a foundation for cultivation, even if you take these medicines, they won't have any effect, and you may even die as a result. ”
"Huh? So what to do? Xu Zhuo suddenly became anxious. Isn't there anything you can do to save her life? ”
Master Zhenru glanced at Xu Zhuo, his expression slightly puzzled.
"Master Xu, what is the relationship between this female donor and you? Why do you care so much? ”
"This ......" Xu Zhuo thought to himself that he couldn't say that it was actually because her husband had the true spirit of the god of fortune attached to him, and thought for a while: "Master, don't you Buddhists pay attention to saving people's lives than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, I look at her now, I really can't bear to let her die like this, so I have to find a way to save her life." ”
"Amitabha. It is really a blessing for my Buddha to have such a kind heart. Master Zhenru said it very well, but Xu Zhuo could clearly hear it, and he didn't believe his explanation at all.
However, Master Zhenru obviously didn't intend to pursue it, and after a pause, he continued: "It's not that it's completely impossible. Did the old man tell you before, as long as you guide that female benefactor to step into the cultivation, you can continue your vitality and regain your life? ”
"But she's dying, how can she step into cultivation?"
"She is afraid that she can't afford the other elixirs in the cultivation sect, but there is one elixir that he can take."
"What is it?"
"In most of the cultivation sects, including our Sumeru Mountain Gate, this elixir is called Tsukuji Dan. After taking it, it can guide ordinary people to comprehend the vitality of heaven and earth, so that it is easier to step into the door of cultivation. If the female benefactor is allowed to take a Tsukidan and then teach her a set of introductory exercises, there is hope that she will be guided to step into the practice and thus continue her life. ”
"And this method?" Xu Zhuo was stunned, and then asked, "Where is Tsukidan?" Master, do you have it here? How about selling me one? ”
Master Zhenru shook his head and said: "Although the Zhuji Dan is only used to guide the disciples to enter the foundation building, it is also equally precious, and the old man does not have it here now, only a little stock in the mountain gate." ”
Xu Zhuo was suddenly deflated: "Then it's useless for you to talk about it for a long time...... When you return to the Sumeru Mountain Gate and get the Tsukidan back, the daylilies are cold. ”
Master Zhenru smiled slightly: "The old man doesn't have it here, but others may have it." ”
"Oh?" Xu Zhuo's eyes immediately lit up. "Who has it?"
"You've seen this guy before......"
