Chapter 191
The sudden sound startled Meishuang, who was kneeling on the ground and thinking about the pillar, and she hurriedly got up, and turned her head to see a woman in plain clothes standing behind her.
The woman had a kind face, although she didn't look young, but her fine white skin and good manners still made her look different from the peasant woman who was working in the fields, especially when she looked at the plum cream who turned around.
Mei Shuang only said that she took the liberty to come in and make the other party wonder about her identity and cultivation, and she hurriedly apologized while patting the soil on her knees, "I'm sorry, I'm here to spend the night, I just knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, so I took the liberty to come in."
Seeing that the sky was already dark, the woman took a closer look at Meishuang and nodded, and said kindly, "Since it's getting late, let's stay." No outsiders have ever stayed here, so we don't have extra bedding."
Mei Shuang hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm alone, it's good to have a place to take it in, as long as it's not in the wilderness, I don't care." I thought I was going to spend it here alone, but I didn't expect someone to talk. β
The gratitude on Meishuang's face was not pretended, to be honest, if she lived alone in this deserted place at night, she was still a little scared.
Although I have come through all kinds of hardships and dangers on Qishan, I have become a lot bolder, but after all, I will be with a few people, and I will have a companion no matter what I do. It can be seen that humans are still social animals.
It's just that since the woman lives in this Buddhist hall, she should be the owner of the Buddhist hall, but judging from the clothes, the other party is not a monk like a nun, and the other party does not call herself a "poor nun" or call Meishuang a "donor" or anything like that.
Seeing that Meishuang was looking at her, the woman seemed to see her thoughts, and smiled slightly, "It's true that this place is a temple, but it wasn't built for monks, it's justβ"
Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, and then went to the Buddha hall, looked inside, saw that the incense had been burned, hurriedly renewed, and after respectfully worshipping, she turned around and came out.
Seeing her like this, Meishuang was a little curious.
Seeing the woman come out, Meishuang asked, "Uh, what do you call you?" β
The woman was stunned for a moment, and said casually, "Call me Master Jing." β
Master Jing? Mei Shuang repeated, vaguely feeling a little strange, this is like the name of a monk, but the word "quiet" is secretly in line with her temperament.
"Master Jing, are you living alone here?"
Master Jing shook his head, "My master has something to do."
"Master Jing's master?" Meishuang was a little surprised, although she was curious, she didn't forget the lesson of her curiosity that killed the cat in the afternoon, and forced herself to put away her curiosity and said, "Oh, okay, Master Jing, it's getting late, where do you think I live?" β
Master Jing didn't think about it, led Meishuang to the east room, and pushed open the door, "You live here tonight, my master goes out to do errands, you have to have some kung fu, and you won't be able to come back tonight." You put your stuff here first, I'll cook and I'll call you later. β
After Mei Shuang thanked him gratefully, he entered the room, which was simple and simple, and the windows were clean and tidy, and when he saw that the person who lived here should be a very tidy person, Mei Shuang suddenly had a good impression of the master of this Jing master.
Although people let her live here, she can only say that people are polite, after all, it is a nightstay, how can she occupy the bed of the owner.
After thinking about it, she stepped forward and put a few stools together, and then laid a board near the wall flat, which happened to be a small bed that could hold herself.
She was very satisfied with her approach, and after putting it together, she lay down on it a little and tried it.
Through the long window, Master Jing, who had inadvertently watched it, happened to see this scene and felt a little distracted.
This child, she is so sensible.
While cooking, Master Jing stared at the fire of the stove and wandered.
There was no difference between when I saw her in Cheng'en Temple and now, but why did she suddenly leave Cheng'en Temple?
As he was working hard, a soft voice came from behind him, "Master Jing, can I help?" β
Master Jing came back to his senses and turned his head to see Mei Shuang looking at her, still holding a few buns in her hand, "Master Jing, I'm out and I don't bring anything, let's take these buns as dinner." β
Master Jing's heart was hot, and he didn't shirk it at the moment, opened the lid of the pot and put the bun in, and then invited Meishuang to sit down together.
Seeing Master Jing accept the bun, Meishuang immediately relaxed, sat beside Master Jing, and said, "Master Jing, I'll burn the fire." β
Master Jing shook his head, threw the loose grass in his hand into the bottom of the stove, and said, "Where are you from?" Where to go? β
Meishuang froze, and a wry smile condensed at the corner of her lips, "Come where you came from, go where you go." β
Master Jing frowned slightly, his eyes moved from the bottom of the stove to the surface of the plum frost, slightly surprised, but it was not easy to ask, so he only nodded.
Mei Shuang sighed unconsciously, what kind of life is it for herself to have a day with no tomorrow today.
Even if it is well disguised, it is still obvious that there is a lot of concern written between the eyebrows, since Meishuang doesn't say it, Master Jing doesn't want to ask too much. Moreover, the owner of his own family has no intention of recognizing his relatives for the time being, and it is even more difficult for him to get involved.
However, looking at Meishuang's situation, she should have left the temple, but how did she come here?
She sighed in her heart, let it be.
- After a simple dinner with Master Hejing, Meishuang went back to the house.
Lying on the hard bed made by herself, looking at the bright moon outside the window, a deep sense of powerlessness rose from her heart while relaxing her body and mind, making her feel weak in her limbs.
The words of her mother's visit to the temple still rang in her ears, and the situation of Xiao Luolai was even more vivid, but the result was that her mother was entangled for a long time and finally did not recognize her; And she was even more disrespectful, which annoyed the Ninety-Five, which made the already unreliable relationship completely collapse her, and by the way, she also forced herself to a dead end.
Alas, now think about it calmly, how could she say such a thing when she was really a brain tendon - for the other party's use, even if you are really used by the other party, you are a common person, you should be happy and grateful that you still have some use value, alas, why can't you put yourself in the right position?
It's good now, I have completely offended the high-ranking Ninety-Five. Although people did not punish him for his disrespectful remarks at that time, perhaps because he took into account the dignity of the emperor and was afraid that the reputation of having a bad deal with a woman would not be good, but he knew in his heart that there was absolutely no turning back from this matter.
Originally, even though he deceived himself and thought that the other party still had three feelings for him, but now he didn't expect that this holy will was really unpredictable.
When I think about it like this, I can't help but feel cold.
Originally, those days were replaying in front of me like a movie, and my mood became more and more depressed.
Overnight, tossing and turning, cold hands and feet, stomach pain, the whole person was very uncomfortable.
Master Jing didn't sleep well at night, and when he got up at night and walked around the yard, he heard a small moan.
Through the long window, she saw Meishuang lying on a simple bed, her small body curled up, and the moans that came from her, and her body occasionally trembled slightly.
Master Jing was shocked, hurriedly pushed the door open, and called softly, Meishuang did not respond, when she stepped forward to help Meishuang, she found that the other party's body was weak and weak, trembling from time to time, and her forehead was even more frighteningly hot.
The child was sick, and very serious.
She pondered for a while, then decisively put down Meishuang and went to the Buddhist hall.
When she came out of the Buddha hall, she had something in her hand, she stood in the middle of the courtyard, and then stretched out her hand into the air, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", something whistling and flying into the air, bursting in the air with a large cloud of sparks, and then disappeared.
I hope the master will come back soon when he sees it. She prayed secretly.
Meishuang was dazed, only to hear a distant voice from a distance, but not real, I wanted to open my eyes to see, but the eyelids were a thousand pounds, I couldn't open them, and I finally opened them to see only a hazy light, and then I fell into darkness in front of my eyes
In the middle of the night, the door of the temple opened, and a black shadow hurried in.
Master Jing heard the door knock and hurriedly came out of the room, and saw the person who came in hurriedly saluting, "Princess, there is a distinguished guest from the temple." β
"Guest?" The princess's eyebrows frowned slightly, just now she heard a sound in the air, and suddenly felt that it was not trivial, and rushed back overnight, but she didn't expect to just say "distinguished guest".
"Princess, come in and take a look" Master Jing didn't say who it was, but there was a lot of worry between his eyebrows.
When the princess entered the house, she saw a woman lying on the bed, but her head was facing inward, against the candle flame, and her face could not be seen clearly for a while.
Her heart sank, thinking that she would never let her sleep in her own bed when she waited for the idler.
When she got closer, she was shocked and blurted out, "Frost? β
After a moment of astonishment, she realized that the person on the bed was hot, and the heat made him tremble from time to time.
"Jing'er, go get the medicine."
Master Jing hurriedly went to fetch a box, and said to the princess as he opened it, "I have already given her the Rest Pill just now, but it doesn't seem to have much effect on reducing fever. β
After the princess carefully gave Meishuang the pulse, her face became more and more solemn, "It's not good, her illness is menacing, it must be caused by an old disease, hurry up and prepare the horse, we have to rush to Cheng'en Temple overnight to find the abbot for help." β
After the fourth watch, the door of Cheng'en Temple was wide open, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves under the mountain, and the abbot and the nuns in the temple all ran down the mountain.
When the abbot saw that it was Meishuang who was sick, he immediately secretly complained, how could this child become like this after disappearing on his own for a day?
Mei Shuang was full of high fever, still shivering, the abbot hurriedly took out the silver and pricked a few acupuncture points at Mei Shuang, watched Mei Shuang's reaction, and finally said "Amitabha" after his expression began to become anxious, and said to the princess who was sweating all the way, "Princess, I have temporarily controlled her condition, but I'm afraid we can't cure it." β
"How's that for good?" The princess and Master Jing were shocked when they heard this, this abbot has excellent medical skills, and if she wants to say this, then Meishuang will be in danger.
"It seems that this matter must be reported to the emperor, please ask the emperor to help find a way," Master Jing said urgently.
The princess was noncommittal.
The abbot listened, but was silent.
Master Jing was anxious, and said to the abbot, "Abbot, speak quickly, didn't you hear that the emperor had a private visit in Qizhou Weifu a few days ago?" β
The abbot lowered his head in embarrassment, "The former emperor has been here."
