After the fifth watch in the night, the sky began to slowly brighten, and the bells of Wan'an Temple became quiet.

Today is the little monk Xiunian is in charge of the morning fast, with sleepiness, Xiunian put on his clothes, yawned and went out of the room.

The back kitchen is close to the back door. The rain was still heavy and had no intention of stopping. Xiu Nian held a brand-new oil-paper umbrella, ran to the back kitchen in small steps, shook off the rain on his body, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly heard a knock at the back door, quite eager.

Looking at the back door, Xiu Nian shouted, "Who is it?" ”

There was no answer outside the door, but kept knocking, looking at the posture to knock on the back door of Wan'an Temple.

Xiu Nian looked at the back door, a trace of doubt appeared on her delicate face, although the front door street was blocked, but it stands to reason that at this hour, no one should come to Wan'an Temple to offer incense, let alone someone knock on the door like this, the Buddha door is pure, how can it be so disturbed?

Sighing, Xiu Nian held an oil-paper umbrella and walked over: "It's here." ”

"Crunch", Xiu Nian slowly opened the wooden door, but did not find a figure outside the door, frowned, and was about to turn around and leave, but Yu Guang saw that there seemed to be a person lying in the corner, looked left and right, and walked over.

"Ahh Seeing that person, Xiu Nian covered her mouth with her hands in shock.

It was Li Xiao, I saw that although Li Xiao's shoulder stopped bleeding at this time, half of his clothes had been stained red with blood, his face was pale, and his breathing was even more indiscriminate.

"Come, come!" Xiunian shouted towards the temple as she ran forward to check on Li Xiao.

Wan'an Temple was also startled by Xiunian's shouting, and candles gradually lit up in the room, and some monks pushed open the door and ran towards the back door.

"What happened?" A monk asked. Xiu Nian didn't speak, just looked at everyone with a sad face, and then pointed at Li Xiao tremblingly.

Following the direction pointed by Xiu Nian, the monks also saw Li Xiao lying on the ground, motionless.

How can they not know Li Xiao, this Suzhou son who has lived in Wan'an Temple for several days, is humble, polite, and extraordinary, even the abbot praises him, but he hasn't seen him for a day, and when he sees it again, Li Xiao is like this.

"What's wrong?" A quiet stroll is coming.

"Abbot ......" Xiu Nian looked at Pu Jing, and she didn't know whether it was tears or rain on her face.

Pu Jing followed everyone's line of sight, and happened to see Li Xiao lying in the corner, and couldn't help but be shocked, and the Buddha beads in his hand slipped down with the rain.

"Why are you still stunned, send it in." Pu Jing exclaimed to the group of disciples, and his body couldn't help falling backwards, but fortunately he was supported by Zen Master Pu'an, who was holding an umbrella beside him.

When the monks standing on both sides heard Pu Jing's words, they hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Li Xiao, who had no reaction, and ran towards the inner courtyard in the rain.

Pu Jing watched Li Xiao pass by, saw the blood stains on the latter's body, and the bloodless face, his hands were tightly clenched, his brows were tightly locked, and a few tears couldn't help but shed a few tears on his face full of ravines, and his voice couldn't help but tremble: "How can this be, how can this be." ”

"It's okay, brother, it's okay." Pu An hugged Pu Jing and comforted: "Li Xiaoji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine." ”

"yes, it'll be fine." Pu Jing looked in the direction of the inner courtyard, her eyes full of sorrow. It looked like it was fine, soaking wet, half of his body was covered in blood, and his face was bloodless.

He didn't know who injured Li Xiao like this, let alone why Li Xiao was so seriously injured, it stands to reason that no one in Jingshi today should be so bothered to deal with Li Xiao, could it be him? But there's no reason. In the final analysis, no matter who it is, he is responsible, it is he who did not protect Li Xiao, and it was he who persuaded Li Xiao to go out this morning. If Li Xiao had been stopped at that time and not allowed to go out, then Li Xiao would not have had an accident. But there is no if, Li Xiao has been seriously injured and is dying.

If something happened to Li Xiao, he would be unable to escape the blame, and he would have no shame to face his master.

"Senior brother, let's go in first, it's raining heavily outside." Pu An held Pu Jing, and then said to Xiu Nian, who was standing by the door, "Xiu Nian, close the door." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Chu Chu was leaning against the wall weakly, his eyes widened, and he looked at the seriously injured Li Xiao with horror.

Li Xiao didn't return tonight, the little girl Chu Chu has been feeling uneasy, got up several times in a row, walked to Li Xiao's room to check, but there was no response, I thought that my son-in-law was playing late outside, living outside, so I was ready to sleep, but I couldn't sleep, after five watches, I simply didn't sleep, and it was at this time that there was a sudden noise from the back door, although I don't know what happened, but I still put on my clothes and walked to the back door.

But just after the moon gate, I saw Li Xiao, who was seriously injured and unconscious, the bright red of that body was shocking, and the miserable whiteness of her face made the little girl feel despair again, this despair was like when she lost her parents, the world suddenly turned gray, without a trace of brilliance.

"Less...... Father. ”

……

In the darkness not far from the back gate of Wan'an Temple, Xu Shengliang held an oil-paper umbrella and looked nervously at the back door of Wan'an Temple, until a group of monks carried Li Xiao in, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave.

"Is it worth it?" Ni Songhan stood behind Xu Shengliang and asked expressionlessly.

"I don't know." Xu Shengliang shook the rain on the oil-paper umbrella and replied with a smile: "But I know that if I don't save it, it's not worth it." ”

As early as when he first entered the palace, he knew the darkness of Dongchang, the ruthlessness of Dongchang Fanzi, and regarded the people as mustard, when he entered Dongchang, he recognized these even more, and the never-ending screams in the Dongchang prison made him afraid, in order to live, he recognized Xu Youzhen as a relative, in order to survive, he endured nausea to live in Dongchang. He didn't know when he would become like that, but at least, at this moment, he was still himself, still the same boy he used to be, even if the people he saved would not remember him.

"Strange eunuch." Ni Songhan shook his head and said.

"Aren't you a eunuch?" Xu Shengliang asked subconsciously, from just now to himself, he didn't know the identity of the person behind him, and there was always a kind of discrimination against the eunuch in Ni Songhan's tone.

"Eunuch? Who told you. Ni Songhan said disdainfully.

"Guess." Xu Shengliang smiled, and then said: "If you are not a eunuch, then why do you want to help Dongchang?" ”

"One, just a promise." Ni Songhan opened his mouth lightly, his eyes dim.

After speaking, without waiting for Xu Shengliang to speak again, he laughed at himself and escaped into the depths. Xu Shengliang didn't say more, after all, the first thing he learned in Dongchang was that the more he knew, the faster he died.

Patting the rain scattered on his body, Xu Shengliang smiled bitterly and said to himself, "I have to change my clothes quickly." ”

The morning light rises slightly from the ground level, bringing a glimmer of light.

Xu Shengliang looked at the light, couldn't help but feel a dazzle, shook his head and laughed at himself, got into the carriage along the darkness, and left the street with a hiss.

……

Back in Wan'an Temple, Li Xiao has been carried back to the room by a group of monks, gently put on the bed, the little girl unbuttoned Li Xiao's clothes in a panic, revealing her pale skin, panicked and overwhelmed.

"There are too many people, all go out." Master Pu'an came from outside the door, waved his hand to signal the monks in the room to go out, and walked to Li Xiao's bedside, stretched out two fingers and put them on Li Xiao's wrists.

The breath is faint and the pulse is shallow and fast.

Puan withdrew his hand, his brow furrowed. Judging from the pulse just now, Li Xiao's condition is not optimistic, but it is certain that the reason why Li Xiao was unconscious was because of excessive blood loss, and the medicine on the wound was even more critical, which can be said to have saved Li Xiao's last breath. I just feel that there is another symptom in his body, which seems to be poisoning, but fortunately, there is medicine to control it, and there is no major problem. There is also the fact that Li Xiao was hot all over his body at this time, it should be due to excessive blood loss, rain, and cold.

"Master Pu'an, how is the young master?" Chu Chu stood aside and asked with a worried face.

Pu'an shook his head, at present, Li Xiao's life is saved, but only for now, if he is allowed to go on like this, it is estimated that he will not last a few days, he has this medical skill to cure Li Xiao, but there are no medicinal materials in Wan'an Temple, and it is still difficult to rely on manpower alone.

"There's no need to worry about my life for the time being, it's just ......" Pu Jing got up and sighed, pacing back and forth in the room.

"It's just what, Master Pu'an said clearly, as long as Chu Chu can do it, he will definitely do it." Chu Chu clenched his hands and looked flustered.

Pu'an stopped, stood in the center of the room, looked at the bloodless Li Xiao on the bed, and said, "I just need medicinal herbs." ”

Only medicinal herbs are needed, but Wan'an Temple does not have them, and the monks of Wan'an Temple cannot go out to buy them, because the monks in the temple cannot go out if they have nothing to do.

The rules set by the royal family can only be followed.

"What is needed? Chu Chu can go and buy it. Chu Chu asked quickly.

Hearing Chu Chu's words, although Pu'an said that he was unwilling, but there was no way, now only Chu Chu could walk around at will in Wan'an Temple, but the little girl was still young, and the distance to the pharmacy was not close, so I was afraid that it would be hard.

Puan sighed, walked over to the desk, took a piece of paper and wrote. Chu Chu stood aside, looked at the few herbs on the paper, and silently recited in his heart: "Baiji, angelica, atractylodes, salvia, poria, licorice are five taels each......

After only a cup of tea, Pu An wrote the name of the medicinal herb, folded it twice and handed it to Chu Chu, and said with a solemn face: "Go straight to the pharmacy all the way out of front, remember to go back quickly." ”

"Hmm." Chu Chu answered, glanced back at Li Xiao, who was lying on the bed without moving, picked up the oil-paper umbrella by the door and left.

Now Li Xiao is already all she has, she doesn't know what will happen to her after she loses Li Xiao, she doesn't dare to think about it.

The rain continued to fall, as if the sky was crying, and it was more like the sky was screaming.

Chu Chu laboriously opened the gate and glanced at the street in front of the door, it was still blocked and muddy, and several stepping stones placed on the road had been sunk in the heavy rain.

Clenching his hands, Chu Chu touched the prescription in his arms, looked at the looming stepping stone, gritted his teeth and stepped on it.

"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Chu comforted herself, the young master's injury waits for no one, she needs to hurry, faster.

I only heard a boom, which was deafening and startled many people who were still asleep.

ps:emmmmm someone.,Bubble up in the area.,Boom!!
