Chapter 15: Please Allow Me to Live and Die with You (3)
insisted on standing with his back to Yin Su for a long time, and did not hear her departing footsteps, but came with a faint sob.
"I'm sorry, the poor monk was reckless and offended for a while, not intentionally, don't blame the donor! Amitabha! β
He thought it was his attitude that scared her to tears, and hurriedly apologized.
The moon came out, more and more fireflies were flying around, and a few strands of Yin Suwen's long hair were blown up by the wind and raised gently. She just stood still and looked at Xinche, her eyes were full of the light of the moon, but the tears were falling little by little.
In fact, she didn't know why she suddenly wanted to cry uncontrollably, whether it was because she felt too much guilt about Xinche or because she was uneasy to be treated so unceremoniously by him, or she just wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered for a long time for no reason.
Seeing that she didn't speak and her tears kept flowing, with a look full of grievances, Xinche couldn't bear it after all.
"Don't cry, hurt your eyes!"
He turned around and patted her on the head, as if he were coaxing a child who had lost candy. And she burst into tears.
"Master, don't blame, I don't know what's wrong with me, probably because the mountain wind is too big and my eyes are shaking. Master, don't worry, Su Wen just wants to confirm whether you are injured or not, I'm afraid you will be fine! β
"It's okay, you see, I'm not fine now, am I?"
There was a smile on his face, and his hands in the night breeze were warm, like a long-lost relative who had finally returned.
Yin Suwen choked and blinked tears, she didn't understand why Xinche had to hide that similar birthmark, but when she saw him finally smile again, it didn't matter anymore. As long as he is not injured and alive, it is enough.
"Let's go, it's late."
"So, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going back to the temple, in the opposite direction from you."
"Oh, your knife!"
Carefully taking out the golden treasure knife from his side, Yin Suwen returned it to Xinche with a happy face.
"Thanks to it, I was able to repel the monster. This knife is a gold handle, inlaid with seven-colored gemstones, and the workmanship is rare and exquisite. Although the master is a monk, he is inseparable from it, and it must not be an ordinary thing, so I found it for you. β
Yin Su asked himself to know that he owed Xinche too much since they met. Seeing that this knife was very important to him, but in order to regain the jade pendant for himself, he was almost destroyed by a bear, and he couldn't repay him except for trying his best to find it.
"Let the benefactor keep it, as you said, it may not be appropriate for a monk to keep it. Although it did not hurt anyone, it was enough for self-defense. β
The clear eyes of the heart passed by the blade, and there was a little nostalgia. Although it was the only token that Master left to himself, it should be the same at this moment to help others. Whether it is for objects or people, he has always deliberately kept a blank, and too strong emotions will be demons.
Although the wind and snow rose, it could not stop the sudden sound of a sigh in the forest, Yin Suwen was the first to startle, and an arrow stepped forward and stretched out his arms in front of Xin Che, and rebuked the wild grass that trembled more and more strongly in the darkness.
"What's playing tricks? Get out! β
She was afraid, afraid that there would be any more bloodthirsty beasts at this time. The human-bear battle had already exhausted her physical strength, and even her legs were trembling a little at the moment, but Xin Che was now so seriously injured that she needed to come forward.
Before the words fell, the grass quieted down, as if he understood Yin Suwen's question. A moment later, a dark felt hat slowly peeked out of the grass, and a stout figure slowly walked towards the two of them from the darkness.
The person who came was five short in stature, but he was very strong, wearing a bow and arrow on his back, with a lot of cloth bags tied around his waist, but his steps were steady and powerful, and it was not difficult to walk in the deep snow.
When he approached the moonlight, Yin Suwen found that there was a hideous scar hidden in the other party's full beard, which snaked behind his ears and occupied most of his face, adding a bit of horror to this bloody dark night.
"Stop, don't go any further. Whoever comes, report it by name. β
Although the one who came was no longer a fierce beast in the forest, she was still worried about whether she had exposed her whereabouts and recruited the soldiers who patrolled the mountains to catch her, so she still looked on guard and defense.
"Haha, I didn't expect that there were really people in this snow-covered old forest besides Lao Tzu. It's also a loss that you are clever, and you were not swallowed by that big bear! β
Seeing Yin Suwen's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, the visitor not only didn't care, but sat down in the snow under the tree close to the two, and the burden on his waist was casually untied and still on the side, leaving only half of the soju in his hand. After raising his head and taking a few sips of wine, he smacked his lips and shouted at Yin Su.
"It's a cold day, but you have to have a few burnt knives to get comfortable. Okay, okay, little girl, stop it, I won't do anything to you. I look tired if you look nervous, didn't you just toss you enough? β
"You are? How did you know we just met a man-bear? β
"Heh, how do I know? The half arrow in the beast's mouth just now was inserted by Lao Tzu himself! It's just that I didn't expect that thing to go crazy for a while, and before it could fully exert its strength, it was thrown into a dark tunnel in a river valley, otherwise it would have been in Lao Tzu's bag for a few more moments, and it would have been your turn to be a few heroes. β
The person who came was still scolding and complaining, but Yin Suwen was relieved. Although this person looks fierce and vicious, and his mouth is very rude, his identity is not suspicious, he is not a bad person, and the prey scattered all over the place is also a strong proof of identity.
"So, you're the hunter in the mountains?"
"That's it, you go to the Orion family in Uehara Mansion and ask, who doesn't know my name as Boss Tu."
I saw that the other party did have multiple abrasions on his face, as if he had just fought. Looking back at Xinche again, and seeing that he also nodded, Yin Suwen relieved him to sit against the tree, and found a small half bamboo tube of water from the broken burden to feed him to drink.
"Then dare to ask Brother Tu, how far is this place from Yunju Temple?"
"Yunju Temple? Far away, the temple is at the top of the hill and this is the mountainside, and there is still most of the way up the mountain. Alas, it turned out to be a monk. β
Boss Tu leaned towards the position of the two, carefully identified the physically exhausted person under the tree, and shouted after a while.
"Oh, isn't this Master Xinche of Yunju Temple? Why are you here, and you're so badly injured? You little girl too, why didn't you say that Master Xinche was injured earlier! β
Unexpectedly, this mountain hunter actually knew Xinche, and Yin Suwen was pushed away by the strong Boss Tu before he could reply. Seeing that he quickly took out a lot of herbs and cotton cloth from the leather bag to heal Xinche's wounds and stop the bleeding, she didn't stop it anymore, and only helped to do it on the side.
"The wound in Master's heart was scratched by the man and bear just now, I'm afraid the wound is very deep, Brother Tu, you need more medicine."
"I know, I know, this woman is trouble. Of course I know that this is a bear paw scratch, there is no injury in this forest that I can't heal Boss Tu, as long as Master still has a breath to ensure that he can be fine, he will be fine in a few days, don't worry. But then again, fortunately, the one you met was a newborn bear, if you meet an old one, needless to say, you can't be defeated by force, and there is an old earth poison on that paw alone, so if you are scratched for a while, you can't save the Daluo Immortals. Let me tell you, these things in the mountains will become fine after a long time, and they are very fierceγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Yin Suwen smiled secretly, this Orion is also a warm-hearted and interesting person, he said that he disliked the trouble of women, but when he spoke, he was talking to himself, and his funny appearance even made Xinche feel a lot easier.
During the conversation, the three of them learned that this Tu Boss was a native of the mountains and forests, and his ancestors naturally had some hunting skills. Fierce beasts infested the depths of Donghuang Mountain all year round, and almost no one in the entire Shangyuan Mansion dared to stay in this forest at night except for him.
Three years ago, when Tu Boss took his youngest son into the mountain, he happened to meet the man bear, the child was so frightened that he couldn't run for a while, and he was single-handedly difficult to take care of, if it wasn't for the government soldiers who opened the mountain to mine, the father and son almost died directly in the bear's mouth, but although the child saved his life, he also gave up a leg. The slaughter family has been passed down from generation to generation, the son is lame, and the short-tempered Tu boss must not give up, this time he was fully prepared to kill the bear to take revenge, but he missed it for a while, and the bear happened to be met by the two of them.
Hearing the story of Boss Tu, Yin Suwen finally understood how his help to Xinche came from the heart. When their father and son were attacked, if it weren't for the timely treatment of Xin Che who returned from Yunyou on the way down the mountain, the child would definitely not have survived even if he gave up one leg.
"Well, little girl, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Don't worry about my boss Tu, don't dare to say anything else, I still dare to pat my chest and guarantee that the master will be sent back to the temple safely. This is not far from the official road down the mountain, and you will be safe after you get on the official road, you just have to walk straight out of this forest. β
I don't know what Xin Che whispered to the Tu boss when he was healing, and as soon as he cleaned up, the two of them urged Yin Su to leave quickly.
"Master Yin should go down the mountain earlier, there will be no problem for the poor monk to take care of the butcher here."
Yin Suwen's expression was complicated, and he wanted to say something more after all. He was such a stubborn person, Yin Suwen knew that he couldn't convince him, and finally turned around and left after solemnly saying goodbye.
A few steps away, a faint voice came from the heart.
"It's not easy to be born again, you have to live well."
