Chapter 114: Restoration
It hurts!? The next day, Huang Quan gently opened his eyes, and immediately felt a sharp pain in his wrists and ankles, and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the restraint of her wrists and ankles made her eyes widen for a moment, not only was her movement restricted, but even her mouth was blocked.
Moving her body, she saw Tsuchinomiya Kagura, who still had tears in the corners of her eyes and had not woken up, and her condition was similar to her own, her wrists, ankles, and hands were bound, and her handcuffs and ankles were stained with mottled blood.
Speaking of which, what was I doing before?
After she woke up, in addition to feeling that her head was dizzy and swollen, her thoughts were also clear, and the memories of the past few days had not disappeared, but the memories made her feel a kind of nightmare, as if she had changed into a person's self, which made her have a deep sense of strangeness, including Kagura.
"Sober?" Zheng Chen, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, and the abbot sitting opposite him had already left the meditation room at some point.
"Hmm......" Huang Quan, who was gagged, sighed hard, Zheng Chen tore off the cloth stuffed in their mouths, and took off the handcuffs and foot cuffs that bound them.
"That...... I. Lei glanced at Zheng Chen guiltily, and immediately lowered her head, thinking of her actions in the past few days, she wanted to hide far away without shame, she actually had that kind of thought, this is a betrayal of Zheng Chen.
"It's okay."
Shaking his head, Zheng Chen reached out and pressed Lei's head, looking at Xi Ya, last night she was more concerned than worried about the situation of Huangquan and them, no other. She's the scariest when she goes berserk, and now she's fine, right?
"Sister Huang Quan. We're so embarrassed. Tsuchinomiya Kagura, who was held in Huang Quan's arms, whispered, and her words made Huang Quan blush a little. It's really embarrassing, he is obviously an exorcist, but he was compared to an ordinary person, and he had to rely on the other party to return to normal safely along the way.
"When I go back this time, I must investigate the identity of that woman." Huang Quan said in a low voice, maybe Tomie's combat ability is not strong, but her ability is the weirdest example of the enemy she has ever encountered.
After that, several monks came to the meditation room with a little bit of early, and when they left, they left a box of ointment by the way.
After digging up a piece of ointment in the pillbox. Zheng Chen put the medicine box in front of Huang Quan, came to Lei's side, and pulled one of her arms, last night's manic struggle made her wrist break the skin, making the girl's flawless skin look particularly dazzling.
"It hurts." When the ointment was applied to the wound, Lei couldn't help but squeeze her eyes, and then quickly said, "It's okay, I can bear it." ”
Zheng Chen nodded. The force was a little lighter when she applied the medicine, and after treating the injuries on her wrists and ankles, Zheng Chen looked at Huang Quan's side, compared to Lei's injuries. The injuries to her wrists and ankles were even more severe.
At that time, the greater the strength of the struggle, the greater the damage to himself, after Zheng Chen dealt with Lei's injury. She and the little girl Tsuchinomiya Kagura had just half-smeared each other.
"......" Seeing Zheng Chen standing up and walking out, the corners of Huang Quan's mouth twitched. Seeing the predicament on his side, he actually left without saying anything?
Zheng Chen had just left the meditation room. He was stopped by a monk, "This benefactor, the abbot asked me to convey some words, you can stay here and meditate for a period of time these days." ”
"If you can, please don't let those female benefactors walk around." After a pause, the monk said, "This is my personal meaning. ”
Zheng Chen nodded, in this place full of monks, it didn't seem to be a meaning to let Huangquan and them walk around.
"Does the donor have any other needs?" Zheng Chen was so good at talking, which made this monk have a little good impression of him, after all, when they came here, that evil thought was like a dirty thing, and no one wanted to introduce these things into their own house, and now that those evil thoughts were cleared, their impression would naturally change.
"Bandages."
With the brand-new bandages found by the monk, Zheng Chen returned to the meditation room, handed a bandage to Huang Quan, and bandaged the rest of the medicated wrists and ankles, the location of this meditation room is relatively remote, except for the occasional monk who passes by here, there is not much disturbance, and the only thing that can pass the time is some scriptures that the monk at the door has taken.
"I've read a lot of scriptures before." Huang Quan picked up a scripture that was placed next to him and read it, "I've read this before." ”
"Oh." Zheng Chen stared at the scripture in his hand and replied lightly.
"......" So she was talking too much just now, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull, she thought quite sadly, Zheng Chen couldn't understand the scriptures, and she could read them silently over and over again, quietly waiting for time to pass, and when she was concentrating, time passed quickly.
When the time came to the evening, the abbot of Hengkong came to this meditation room again, "Donor, we meet again." ”
The abbot explained the reason for the re-arrival, it was very simple, the evil thoughts entangled in Zheng Chen and them were not completely eradicated, those evil thoughts were very different from ordinary evil thoughts, ordinary evil thoughts were dispersed, but these evil thoughts were stronger than the weeds that were blown and grown in the spring breeze, and if they were not completely eradicated, it would not be long before the spring breeze blew and reborn.
Of course, even if it is eradicated, it will still be entangled in this evil thought again in the future.
Therefore, the abbot of Hengkong said that this was just a symptom, this time the chanting time was not long, less than two hours, the abbot got up and left here, and when he left, he did not say that because there were a few girls here and arranged another room for Zheng Chen.
Many of them have Xi Ya's sake, this abbot is not an ordinary person, and Xi Ya's abnormality is impossible not to find.
“…… What's wrong. Noticing that Huang Quan's expression was a little abnormal, Zheng Chen asked.
"That...... The question of bathing ...... "She looked a little embarrassed, it had been several days since she had returned to normal from the time she was enchanted, and the blood stains on her body because of the injuries on her body, now that she was fine, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
"You too?"
Zheng Chen looked at Lei, who gently tilted his head sideways.
"Wait."
Because it was already night, even though the monks did not rest or do any extraordinarily active, they had to solve all their needs at this time.
Like fetching water.
In the same meditation room, no fire can be lit, carrying a large wooden barrel, Zheng Chen returned to the meditation room, the wooden barrel is new, there are woods nearby, after pouring out the firewood in the wooden barrel, Zheng Chen carried two small wooden barrels and walked back to fetch water.
"Uh, it won't be outside, will it?" In short, after seeing what Zheng Chen had prepared outside, Huang Quan pulled Tsuchinomiya Kagura and hesitated.
"No fire is allowed in the meditation room." Zheng Chen said that lighting a fire in the meditation room is simply a provocation here, and the monks here are considered to be highly cultivated if they don't come to drive people, "There is no one nearby." ”
"It's not a question of having people and not having anybody...... Rather, forget it. Huang Quan was full of entanglement, hesitated for a while, and then nodded, "...... So be it. ”
“……”
Then she looked at the independent tent that Zheng Chen made that covered the big wooden barrel just right, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this is completely better than showing her head, "It's still very detailed." ”
However, when she saw Zheng Chen making a fire, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but jump slightly.
"Questions?"
“…… Nope. ”
"You guys figure it out for yourselves." Zheng Chen walked to the back of the tent and added firewood to the fire that had been lit, the wooden barrel he made was not small, Huang Quan and Lei were both slender, and Tsuchinomiya Kagura was a little girl, and it was more than enough for the three of them to squeeze in.
Ignoring the sound of undressing not far away, Zheng Chen calmly stared at the flame heating the water in front of him, then raised his left hand, pulled away a little of the Fenghuang talisman wrapped in it, and stared at the red aura that was restrained to the extreme, this red aura seemed to be a little stronger.
Why?
"The water is a little hot."
"Oh." Hearing the sound in the tent, Zheng Chen responded lightly, wrapped the Fenghuang talisman back, took out some of the lit firewood from the fire, and poked it on the ground to extinguish it.
"That, Sister Huangquan, is it really okay?" Tsuchinomiya Kagura in the bathtub grabbed the edge of the barrel with both hands, looked out of the tent, and the figure that could be seen by the firelight couldn't help but ask.
“…… Probably it doesn't matter. Isayama Huangquan stroked her long soaked hair, and Lei's reaction was extraordinarily calmer than the two of them, and her gaze lingered for a moment on the core stone that exuded a warm color on her head...... All in all, she was really calm.
"We don't seem to have spare clothes." Rei's realization stopped at the clothes they had casually thrown on the ground, and said in a very calm tone.
Huang Quan was silent, he ignored this point because he was too nervous before, Zheng Chen was in a hurry when he brought them here, and he didn't prepare other daily necessities at all, "Why don't you make do with it first?" ”
Although this is not easy to come by here, a bath is washed in vain.
"But it looks like we're going to be here for days."
“……”
Wash clothes?
By the river, Zheng Chen frowned slightly and looked at the bloodstained clothes stacked in the wooden basin, and after a little classification, he cleaned the stains on them, he didn't like to do this kind of thing very much, it was not easy to find water in the wasteland, and washing clothes was quite extravagant, of course, there was no need to worry about this in this world, but it also made him face a new problem.
Because there is no soap or anything like that, it is difficult to thoroughly clean the blood stains that have completely dried up on the clothes, so rub them vigorously...... There was a slight tearing sound.
Calmly glanced at the skirt that had already appeared in his hand, Zheng Chen casually put it aside and moved on to the next one. (To be continued.) )
