(52) Dumb riddles
Miao Yuan didn't dare to close his eyes all night.
When it was almost dawn, Qinglan returned to Heaven first because there were many affairs that needed to be dealt with urgently.
Xuanhua walked with him, and when he returned, he found Miaoyuan squatting in the corner of the wall, his shoulders twitching slightly.
Xuanhua was shocked, and hurriedly said, "He...... How's he doing?"
Miao Yuan didn't say anything, just sobbed softly.
Xuanhua put down the snack slightly, pulled Miaoyuan up, and gently hugged her into her arms. "Ah Yuan, don't cry," Xuanhua said, "It's going to be fine, he has always been desperate for his life." ”
Miaoyuan's tears had already wet Hyunhua's shoulders, and she finally cried out loud, "Why is this always the case? every time...... It's him every time it's been him! It's always him! Xuanhua, tell me why......"
Xuanhua patted her on the back and said slowly: "He has been like this since he was a child, he would rather suffer himself than see others suffer." ”
"But what about himself? Won't he be in pain? Or ...... Or is it really not going to die?"
"Let's not talk about that. Xuanhua sighed and coaxed: "Ah Yuan, go to sleep first, I'll come and see him." You'll come back to me when you wake up in a while. ”
Miao Yuan shook his head, "It's been extremely dangerous these days, and my heart stopped beating twice tonight." Don't say close your eyes, I can't leave for a moment. ”
"But it's not a matter of a day or two, and you'll be overwhelmed when you turn around, so what can I do?"
"It's just a few all-nighters, you can't stay up!" Miao Yuan saw that Xuanhua still insisted, so he had to say: "If you don't feel at ease, you can go and make a bowl of snow ginseng soup for me, it's all right?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xuanhua boiled a big pot.
For lunch that day, Xuanhua didn't have the heart to do it, so he bought two steamed buns from the town, and dealt with it with Miaoyuan with a bowl of snow ginseng soup.
It's just that Xuanhua felt that this soup was a little lighter, no different from white water, so he added some salt to it smartly, cut the shredded ham, beat an egg, and finally sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions.
Fortunately, Miao Yuan was deeply thoughtful, and she didn't eat the bowl of delicious ham and egg drop soup made from her thousand-year-old snow ginseng, otherwise she would have to bleed after drinking it.
Xuanhua had just teased the last egg flowers at the bottom of the pot to Miaoyuan, and when she looked up, she saw Ah Mo walking into the courtyard with a smile.
"Brother Xuanhua, Sister Yuan, are you having lunch?" Ah Mo leaned on the table, her eyes rolling.
Miao Yuan was not good at concealing it, and immediately looked nervous. However, Xuanhua still calmly accosted her, "Yes, Ah Mo, have you eaten?
Ah Mo smiled, half-truths and half-truths: "Big brother, this soup is about to bottom, and you still come to invite me?
Xuanhua took this trick steadily, and continued to smile: "This soup is so good, Ah Mo wants to drink it, I'll make a new bowl now!"
Ah Mo immediately went down the water steps and said with a smile: "Big brother's love, Ah Mo understands it." I've already eaten in the palace, so I won't bother my eldest brother. ”
The two of them sang and played dumb riddles, but Miao Yuan had a simple temperament, and he couldn't understand what they were saying at all, thinking about the injury of the person in the room, he still lowered his head and was determined.
Seeing Miaoyuan's appearance, Ah Mo confirmed his guess even more, this pair of "pit" people must have known something a long time ago and deliberately concealed it.
Xuanhua is cunning and cunning, and she may not be an opponent, but Sister Yuan is simple-minded, and as long as she takes advantage of Sister Yuan's loneliness, she will beg for good words, grind hard and bubble, and it should not be difficult to find out Jinghua's whereabouts from her mouth.
"Oh, I heard that Chenhua was seriously injured yesterday? Is he wearing clothes today? Can I go in and have a look?" Ah Mo glanced at the closed door and said deliberately.
Miao Yuan was taken aback, and didn't know how to answer, and was picked up by Xuanhua unhurriedly, "The third brother is out of danger, let Qinglan return to Heaven early this morning." Since then, he has been in retreat and recuperation, and at the same time has practiced repentance to eliminate his sinful karma. ”
Ah Mo sighed: "That Chenhua is very powerful, he can survive the five thunder capital punishments! I underestimated his cultivation!"
She changed her words, and then said coldly: "But then I have to thank Jinghua! If it weren't for Jinghua giving him half of his spiritual power, how could he have the ability to survive these nine thunderstorms now!"
When Ah Mo said this, although she was not imposing, she did not have a smile on her face, and her dark eyes looked straight at Miaoyuan, and her gaze seemed to poke into her heart.
Miao Yuan's body trembled, and his face turned pale.
When Xuanhua saw it, he patted Miaoyuan and said, "A-Yuan go in first, I'll clean up here." ”
Miao Yuan answered, and immediately entered the hut.
Ah Mo's eyes immediately widened and stared at the door, but unfortunately Miaoyuan's movements were very fast, and Ah Mo only saw that there was a curtain behind the door, and the door was closed again.
"Brother Xuanhua, hasn't Chenhua already been sent back to the Nine Heavens, why are there other people in this room?" asked Ah Mo deliberately.
Xuanhua was cleaning up the table and replied casually, "Oh, it's your sister Yuan who took in a new patient today." ”
"New patients, didn't Sister Yuan come here to treat Jinghua as a regular patient, why did she start accepting patients here?" Ah Mo looked curious, blinked her eyes, and said innocently: "Big brother, are you planning to live here for a long time and open a medical center?"
"I don't object to opening a medical center, as long as we Ah Yuan like it. Xuanhua soldiers came to block it, and said calmly: "While opening the medical hall, I am waiting for Jinghua to receive some medical fees to supplement the family." Well, that's a good idea! Ah Mo, you deserve to be the daughter of Yu Li, you have brains!"
"When will Jinghua come back?" Ah Mo immediately grabbed Xuanhua's words and chased after her.
Xuanhua glanced at her meaningfully, and said slowly: "Didn't he tell you? You get along with him day and night, you don't know, how can I know?"
On this day, Ah Mo and Xuan Hua came and went in secret, half-truths and half-truths, what kind of person is Xuanhua, Ah Mo naturally can't take advantage of the slightest loophole. Later, she didn't bother to argue with him anymore, so she just stared at the hut opposite, the closed door.
Miao Yuan has not been out since lunch until sunset. Ah Mo kept sharpening his head and wanted to drill into it, but he was always stopped by Xuanhua lightly.
"It's getting late, I'd better send Ah Mo back to the palace first. There are no extra beds here, otherwise Big Brother will keep you. Xuanhua politely gave the order to evict the guest.
Ah Mo's eyes rolled and Yan Ran smiled: "That's right, it's late to go back to the palace, and I won't be able to catch up with dinner when I turn back! Big brother, you don't invite me to eat delicious food, and I will deal with buns and noodles all day long!"
As she spoke, she walked out the door, but when she was about to reach the door, she suddenly turned a corner and scurried to the hut!
She was extremely sudden, and her body was so fast that even Xuanhua was defenseless. By the time he rushed over, Mo was already standing in front of the wooden door.
Fortunately, Ah Mo didn't break in, she just stuck to the door and shouted: "Sister Yuan, I'll go back first! I'll come back early tomorrow!"
After speaking, he glared at Xuanhua proudly, and then he was satisfied and swaggered away!
Xuanhua's face was not very good-looking, he frowned and sent Ah Mo to the door, wanting to say something but seemed to hesitate.
"Big brother doesn't need to send it, Ming'er buys a chicken stew in chicken soup, I love to eat it." If you don't have a good hen here, I'll bring it out of the house. Ah Mo didn't think of himself as an outsider at all.
"Ah Mo," Xuanhua took a breath and said warmly, "You better not come tomorrow." ”
"Why?"
"I ...... Ah Yuan has patients here, and he is afraid of noise. ”
Ah Mo's face changed suddenly, and the smile that had lasted all day disappeared in an instant!
She panicked and hurriedly confessed loudly: "I won't make a noise! Brother Xuanhua, I ...... I must not be noisy tomorrow, I will be quiet, will it be successful?"
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly remembered again, and immediately lowered her voice and said: "I'll find a few books to read tomorrow, or I can write scriptures, practice calligraphy or something, I promise not to say a word, please let me stay here, okay?"
Xuanhua sighed, and just wanted to say something to refuse her, but she heard Miaoyuan's voice, "Wait." ”
Miao Yuan opened the door and came out of it, first looked at Xuanhua with complicated eyes, and then turned to Ah Mo, who was nervous, and said, "You should come tomorrow." You can say whatever you want, it doesn't matter. ”
Ah Mo's eyes lit up, and he said in a trembling voice: "Really......? Patient, he's not afraid of my noise?"
Miao Yuan nodded and sighed, "That's right, he doesn't think you're noisy." ”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at Ah Mo's happy back, Xuanhua and Miaoyuan slowly went to the house.
Xuanhua said: "Didn't you say that you didn't let her know until you were sure of the cure?
"He didn't have the ability to say anything. Miao Yuan sighed and smiled bitterly, "I can see it myself." As soon as Ah Mo came, he immediately brackezed his ears to listen to her footsteps and listen to every word she said. When you hear it, you will smile on your face. But as soon as I asked if I wanted her to come in, he immediately shook his head desperately, so anxious that he almost lost his breath. ”
"Ah Yuan, what do you say is his chance of recovery?" Xuanhua said suddenly.
"I'm really not sure about that. Since ancient times, there has been no one who has been able to survive the capital punishment of nine bombs and five thunders and save his life! He has been able to survive until now, and he has really relied on his profound cultivation, and there is ...... Hold on to that thought. ”
"Which thought?"
"The marriage in three years!" Miao Yuan said, "didn't he always tell me that he must get better in three years, or at least look like he has gotten better." If it wasn't for that marriage, what else could it be?"
Xuanhua's heart was sour, "Then can Ah Yuan cure him?"
Miao Yuan smiled bitterly: "You shouldn't ask me this. A doctor does not heal his life, and in a situation like his current situation, I can only play a very small role. The key is up to him, and there is the one who will come every day in the future. ”
Xuanhua suddenly said: "Ah Yuan, are you saying that if Ah Mo is willing to accompany him every day, it will actually be of great help to his recovery?"
Miao Yuan bowed his head and his eyes were gloomy, "He doesn't say anything, but as long as he listens to her voice, he will be happy, he will laugh, and it will be more effective than taking ten of my medicines." ”
Xuanhua said: "Then why don't you just break this curtain for the two of them? Just listening to the voice is already very beneficial, and wouldn't it be much more useful to see each other face to face and say a word? I think Ah Mo has probably guessed it, why hide it like this anymore, and want to cover it up!"
Miao Yuan shook his head and said: "Don't make your own decisions about this! His temper has always been very difficult, and now he is a person who can't stand the slightest stimulation! If you really say it and make him unhappy, I can't afford to take this heavy responsibility." ”
Xuanhua was helpless, and walked into the house with Miaoyuan in his arms, "Okay, Ah Mo also seems to have grown up, obviously he has guessed, but he has always calmed his breath and does not break through, nor does he break in." Well, if they want to play this dumb riddle, let them play it!
