Chapter 326: Danger is imminent
After the masked man left, the old monk called the little monk and told him that when the distinguished guests from the Great General's Mansion arrived, take them to the north wing, and not disturb the guests in the south wing.
When the group from General Cheng's Mansion arrived at Wanfu Temple, it was already evening, and the second lady Li said to the abbot very politely: "Master Abbot, I'm sorry. ”
"The general's wife doesn't have to be polite, please inside." The old monk said.
According to the abbot's instructions, the little monk took everyone to the north wing, Cheng Xi's house was next door to the second aunt's, and Cheng Yun's house was next to the second lady Li's house, which was a little far away from Cheng Xi's house.
Cheng Xi thought to herself, the Li family deliberately let her live farther away from Cheng Yun, because she was worried that she would spoil the good things of Cheng Yun and the prince of the Protector's Mansion, right?
Cheng Xi returned to her room, she washed her face, and applied a mask with medicinal powder, after washing off the mask, she saw that her face was better again, she said to Qing'er: "It's a pity, it's not convenient to take a bath here, and you can't take a medicinal bath these days." ”
"Miss, I see that your skin has improved a lot, and I believe that even if you don't soak for a few days, there shouldn't be much of a problem." Qing'er comforted her.
Cheng Xi just smiled and didn't say anything, she thought of the way just now, and found that there are a lot of herbs in this mountain, in modern times, the effect of wild herbs in the mountains is much better than what you buy in the drugstore, and it is also much more expensive.
In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Xi followed the second wife Li and his party, had a fast meal in Wanfu Temple, and began to chant and pray for blessings, which was not completed until noon.
Got up early in the morning, knelt and sat and chanted, Cheng Xi felt a little tired, and after lunch, he went back to his room to rest for a while, and then changed into a coarse linen clothes, put on a veil, and went out with a basket on his back.
The air on the mountain is very fresh, which makes her feel very comfortable physically and mentally, this feeling is only found in the courtyard of her grandfather's suburbs, thinking of her grandfather, I don't know if she crossed here, does it mean that the modern Qin Chenxi is dead? Then my grandfather must be very sad! However, she didn't have time to be sad, she had to hurry up and pick herbs.
There are really a lot of wild herbs in the mountains and forests, not only are there many varieties, but they also grow very well, Cheng Xi knew at a glance that the medicinal effect of these wild herbs must be very good, but soon after walking into the forest, she had a strange feeling, but she couldn't tell what was weird.
A woman's sixth sense is often very accurate, she clenched the dagger in her sleeve vigilantly, and suddenly, there was a "rustling" sound from the grass behind her, Cheng Xi immediately took out the dagger and stared in that direction with bated breath, not wanting to see a hare jumping out of it.
She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was a docile little animal, if a big tiger came, then she would probably hang here!
At this time, after the masked man explained some things to his subordinates, he was about to go back to the temple, and was surprised to see the slender figure not far away, the scene just now was also in his full view, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a beautiful arc, she was really here, and her vigilance was quite high!
Her courage is not small, she doesn't know martial arts, and she dares to be alone in the mountains and forests. She actually knows how to distinguish herbs, it seems that she really understands medical skills, he can't help but be a little curious, where did she learn her medical skills? Under whom?
Looking at her like that, she really can't be connected with the delicate lady of the General's Mansion who hit the doorpost in the mouth of the ninth brother in order to protect the prince of the country's mansion, she doesn't look like the daughter in the boudoir is as weak as the daughter, maybe after experiencing something like that, she got a new life, became strong, and became independent. Unconsciously, he felt a little sorry for her.
was thinking about it, but saw the little rabbit stumbling towards Cheng Xi, letting out a cry of pain, only to see Cheng Xi reach out and touch the little rabbit's head, as if to comfort it, the little rabbit rubbed her head against her body, as if begging Cheng Xi to save it.
Cheng Xi saw that one of the rabbit's legs was injured, the blood flowed, and its snow-white rabbit hair was dyed red, if there was more than blood, it would definitely die due to excessive blood loss, fortunately, she carried the silver needle for acupuncture, she quickly took out the silver needle, pierced it on the rabbit's acupuncture point to help it stop the bleeding, and then looked at its wound, Cheng Xi took out the medicine he had just picked from the basket, took out the dagger, chopped the leaves of the herb out of the mud, and applied it to the rabbit's wound, and then took out a handkerchief from his arms, tore it hard, and tore it into two pieces, She quickly knotted her handkerchief and tied it tightly to the rabbit's injured leg.
"Alas, I don't worry about letting you be alone in this mountain forest like this, good people do it to the end, send Buddha and send things." Cheng Xi said to himself, then took the little rabbit in his arms and continued to walk forward, collecting medicine as he went.
The masked man was about to leave, but seeing Cheng Xi's loving scene, that hard heart seemed to have changed a little, and he didn't know what was going on with him, so he quietly followed Cheng Xi inexplicably, worried about being discovered by her, he looked at her from a distance, watching her stop and go, squatting down from time to time to dig herbs.
Cheng Xi walked to the hillside, she saw a large patch of herbs in front of her, she was very happy, and muttered: "Wow! Great, with these babes, my face must be getting better faster! ”
She crouched down and dug for herbs, and according to what she had seen in the medicine books, some herbs had different medicinal effects not only on the leaves, but also on the roots and stems, so she had to dig very carefully so as not to hurt the roots and stems. She dug so hard that she forgot that she was in the middle of the woods, and that wild beasts were always there.
Cheng Xi dug up the herbs and was about to get up and prepare to leave, but he didn't expect to turn around, his heart was suddenly shocked, and a wild boar appeared in front of him, this wild boar is not small, it looks like it weighs more than three hundred pounds, especially the sharp teeth exposed in the wild boar's mouth, revealing a dangerous breath in the cold wind, which makes Cheng Xi's legs a little weak, she wants to pull her legs and run, but her legs seem to be filled with lead, and she can't move at all.
At this time, it was too late to take out the silver needle of acupuncture as a hidden weapon and shoot it at the wild boar, not to mention her three-legged cat kung fu, whether the silver needle could shoot the wild boar as accurately as she thought was a problem.
Just when Cheng Xi thought that he was going to die here, a nervous voice came from afar, "Don't act rashly!" ”
Cheng Xi raised her head in surprise, and suddenly a black shadow flashed, so fast that she felt that it was a gust of wind blowing, and she saw a man wearing a mask standing not far from her. Cheng Xi recognized this man as the masked man who had rescued her on the road that day.
Luckily, I finally caught up! The masked man stopped and cautiously approached, for fear that the wild boar would be provoked by himself and hurt Cheng Xi, but the wild boar was smarter than he thought, it just glanced at him vigilantly, and then locked its eyes on Cheng Xi's body.
Who said pigs are stupid? Not only is this boar not stupid at all, but it is also very smart, and it also knows how to strike at the weak first!
The masked man didn't have any lethal weapons on his body, the wild boar's skin was very thick, and it was not easy to kill it with his bare hands, he said to Cheng Xi: "You slowly retreat, try not to alarm it." ”
Cheng Xi held her breath, she could feel that the wild boar's gaze was aimed at her, she moved her steps slightly, but the wild boar was startled and showed an attacking state.
The masked man had only one thought in his mind at the moment, he couldn't let her get hurt! Looking at the sharp teeth in the mouth of that vicious boar, how can you get it to divert its target? He performed light skills, fell in front of Cheng Xi, and protected Cheng Xi behind him.
The wild boar looked at the man in front of him, his face was hideous, and he made a "purr" sound, as if to threaten him not to meddle in his affairs, otherwise he would look good.
"Engong ......" Although Cheng Xi knew that the masked man in front of him was strong in martial arts, he didn't have a weapon on him, did he plan to deal with the wild boar with his bare hands? That's nonsense! How can he let him save himself so desperately?
She quickly pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and handed it to the masked man, "Go on!" ”
The masked man took the dagger steadily, and with the dagger, his chances of winning were much greater, and he whispered, "Thank you, Miss Cheng try to go as far as possible." ”
How does he know who he is? Cheng Xi searched for memories in her mind, and she thought that they didn't know each other before, except for the time when he saved her on the road. Before she had time to think about it, she quietly moved her steps backwards.
After feeling that the woman behind him had walked far back, he clenched the dagger in his hand and pounced on the wild boar, the wild boar dodged, the masked man did not pounce on it, it didn't seem to expect the masked man to attack it first, it was angry, and then it was even more arrogant, and launched a fierce attack and pounced on the masked man.
The masked man immediately raised his dagger and aimed it at the boar's stomach, and as soon as his body fell, the boar jumped over him in an instant, and at that moment, he saw a flash of blood, and the boar fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the masked man, and took a cautious look at the wild boar from a distance, and saw that it didn't move, so he completely relieved himself, "Thank you Engong, I saved Cheng Xi again, I don't know Engong's surname?" After Cheng Xi goes back, he will definitely tell his father, and he will be rewarded heavily! ”
It was the first time she had seen a person confront such a big wild boar, and she had solved the wild boar in three or two clicks, which was really eye-opening for her! It also made her worship this ancient martial arts even more, and I don't know when she can learn such a light skill as him.
But the masked man's eyes kept staring at the wild boar, and just when he felt that something was wrong, the danger approached Cheng Xi again.
"Don't come here!" The masked man hurriedly shouted, but it was too late!
