The dilapidated temple is filled with the aroma of minced meat porridge, which arouses people's appetite.

The porridge cooker somehow left in a hurry, leaving only a pair of grandparents and grandchildren who were always silent in the corner.

There was a sound of rustling from the hollow Buddha statue, and Zhong Jiuchou, who had been lying in it to rest, stretched his waist.

Suddenly, Ran Shaotang, who followed Cheng Yi away, went and returned. He had to take it back and look out curiously through the eyes of the Buddha statue.

Ran Shaotang braved the rain to return to the temple, stuffed the purse containing broken silver into the arms of the old man curled up in the corner, and instructed the purple-clothed boy who was looking at him: "The porridge in the pot is not poisonous." Hurry up and eat it. ”

The little boy looked at the still burning firewood with wide eyes, and pursed his lips.

The old man was so sick that he seemed to have no sense of what was happening in front of him, and his eyes were still closed.

Xie Yingjian's urging voice sounded outside the temple: "Senior brother, hurry up." ”

Ran Shaotang got up, touched the little boy's head by the way, rushed out quickly, and disappeared into the rain.

In that life, her younger brother Ran Shaobai was killed at such an age. For some reason, when she saw the purple-clothed boy who was dependent on the old man, she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart.

Zhong Jiuchou looked at Ran Shaotang's slender back, and actually pulled the corners of his mouth, thinking that this little boy was very interesting.

When he poisoned and killed people before, Yama was unrelenting.

At this time, he pities others, and he has a bodhisattva heart.

The Medicine King Sect is really talented.

The little boy watched Ran Shaotang leave, and then slowly let go of the hand that had been hiding behind him, and a short blade fell behind his back.

He stuffed the purse containing broken silver into his arms, ran to the firewood in three or two steps, filled a bowl of porridge in a clean bowl, and happily served it to the old man.

"Grandpa, we've got something to eat."

He carefully blew cold food and wanted to feed the porridge into the old man's mouth, but the old man clenched his teeth and couldn't swallow it at all.

The little boy tried several times to no avail, and fell on top of the old man and began to cry loudly.

Zhong Jiuchou had seen enough of the play, frowned impatiently, and jumped out of the Buddha statue.

The boy in purple, who had been crying, was frightened, and he didn't know where he came from, so he forgot to cry.

Ignoring the little boy's strange and frightened eyes, Zhong Jiuchou walked straight to the minced porridge, took out a spoonful, sniffed it, and drank it while the spoon was hot.

In an instant, the long-empty stomach was satisfied, and the whole person relaxed.

He looked at some wooden children and raised his chin: "People can't live." Come with me. ”

The boy in purple didn't believe it, turned his head and picked up his grandfather, and continued to feed him.

Zhong Jiuchou drank a few more spoonfuls of porridge before he opened his mouth to persuade: "It was the people from the Medicine King Sect who took your grandfather's pulse just now. He can't do anything about your grandfather, who else do you want to expect? ”

When the little boy heard this, he could no longer restrain the grief and pain in his heart, and spurted out a mouthful of blood with "wow".

At this time, the man who gave people the pulse was sitting in the galloping carriage with a chill on his back.

The younger sister is really like a god. If it weren't for her reminder, maybe the Medicine King Sect would have caused trouble.

I don't know if my sister has any other advice.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi stared at Ran Shaotang and couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Senior nephew, my junior sister, has she --- anything else?"

Shaotang quickly glanced at Uncle Shi, and decisively summed up a truth: Uncle Shi's IQ will undoubtedly be a solid backer after he invites disasters and causes trouble in the future.

Cheng Yi saw that Shaotang was silent in thought, and coughed twice to remind him. This kid, can't he say a few more words to Uncle Shi?

Ran Shaotang glanced at Cheng Yi inquiringly, and asked rhetorically: "Uncle Shi, are you afraid of the ancestors and grandchildren in the temple?" ”

Cheng Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and he denied: "Nonsense." ”

"Then why did you suddenly change your mind after checking the old man's pulse, and you were about to leave in a panic? I didn't even eat. ”

"My pot is a good object, I think I spent a lot of money to get it from the Marquis's Mansion in the first place. They should be brought to the car together. It's a shame to throw it away like that. ”

"Not only do I have nothing to eat now, but I have to travel in the rain...... Uncle Shi, what are you afraid of? ”

Cheng Yi asked Ran Shaotang a question, but he was speechless by the other party's question, and he couldn't help but get annoyed.

"You're new to the rivers and lakes, what do you know. Don't ask about these useless questions. ”

Shaotang was unconvinced: "Uncle Shi, if you don't teach me, I will never understand." Truth is not something that is innately known. If you want to understand, either someone is earnestly professorial, or you have to touch your head and break the blood before you suddenly realize. Uncle Shi, what do you mean by not teaching me, do you want me to try it myself? If my grandmother knew......"

Before the latter words were finished, Cheng Yi drank decisively.

He looked at the little man in front of him, his eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to his junior sister, but he had this tricky temperament...... It must have been with that bastard surnamed Ran.

"Don't do anything, carry your grandmother out. Not telling you is afraid that you are afraid. Since you have to know, it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”

Shaotang sat upright and set up a frame to listen to.

Xie Yingyi, who was driving in the rain, was also engrossed outside the car and pricked up his ears.

Cheng Yi saw that his nephew had a good attitude, nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly asked with doubts: "Your aunt did say that you should beware of children in purple clothes?" ”

Shaotang nodded his head very firmly, and said on his lips: "Uncle Auntie, you know the ability of the mother's divination." She said that the young man in purple we would meet on the road would cause us to worry about our lives. Now we met two people in purple clothes one night, which shows how wise my mother is to give me the broken intestine grass. ”

Cheng Yi pondered, purple in Zhou Rao is the color of the emperor. Ordinary people are not allowed to wear it.

Although it is in Gaoxi, it is close to the border of Zhourao, and the people here also avoid purple clothes.

Those who can wear purple clothes are either rich or expensive.

Senior sister's hexagram is very good.

Thinking of this, he said with pride.

"My sister's ability to divination has been particularly effective since she was a child. Remember that time...... The crisis almost brought down the Medicine King Sect. Fortunately, she divined the hexagram in advance, so she had a later ...... A scene from the Medicine King Sect. ”

Shaotang keenly noticed that Cheng Yi's words seemed to be deliberately concealing something, and he stumbled and --- off topic.

Before he could remind him, Xie Yingjian outside couldn't help but open his mouth: "Master, let's talk about the point." ”

Cheng Yi Xianyou's mind was pulled back by the apprentice in time, he lifted the curtain and yelled at the talkative apprentice, "concentrate on driving", and was forced back into the car by the wind and rain outside the car.

Even the tired Shaotang was drenched in the rain.

It seemed that his conscience found that Cheng Yi Ma took out his coat from under the seat and threw it out: "Wear another one, don't freeze." ”

Xie Yingyi, who was stunned, inexplicably felt that his eyes were swollen.

He muttered, "Master treats me so well. ”

Cheng Yi recalled the scene when he checked the old man's pulse, and sighed: "If you guessed correctly, then the pair of ancestors and grandchildren should be the ones to be hunted down and killed by the Dongcha clan." ”

"Dongcha?" Shaotang faintly remembered that in the first life, this nation was a special existence. Specializing in lurking in the palaces and high-ranking offices of various countries, collecting intelligence and waiting for opportunities.

The catastrophe seven years later was said to be related to the Dongcha tribe.

"How did Uncle Shi see it?" She asked.

Cheng Yi glanced at her and said with some pride: "Jianghu experience." ”

Shaotang pouted.

She heard her mother say that this Uncle Cheng Yi rarely walks around the rivers and lakes, and his reputation is not obvious. That's why he was sent by the Medicine King Sect to pick up people. Where did you get the experience of the rivers and lakes, completely bluffing yourself into being a child and not understanding anything.

But that's fine. "Child" is her protective color. She had already planned that in the future, she would mix medicine Wang Zong, and her character would be the stupid white sweet among the gentlemen.

Cheng Yi didn't know that Shaotang was slandering in his heart, and continued: "Judging from the old man's pulse and complexion, the poison in him is Wu Ban, a poison unique to the Dongcha clan. Only the Dongcha people will be poisoned. ”

"When this poison does not attack, it is a tonic, strengthening the muscles and body, and improving the strength. However, once the clan made a mistake, as long as they inhaled another poison called vulture, the witch ban would turn from a tonic into a poison, and it would be difficult to treat it. It is a means for the Dongcha people to punish those who rebel. ”

Shaotang understood, and interrupted thoughtfully: "It turns out that Uncle Shi judged their identities through the poison in his body. But that's not why you're afraid of them, is that? Our Medicine King Sect has always taken it as its responsibility to treat diseases and save people, have you ever offended the Dongcha clan? ”

Cheng Yi was very displeased with the word "afraid" repeatedly mentioned in Shaotang's mouth, but when he heard him mention the Medicine King Sect, he looked in reverence, and felt that this child was still a manufacturable material, so he endured the words to reprimand him and patiently explained.

"Because the Dongcha clan is uncertain and ubiquitous, it is a threat to a reclusive sect like us. The sect master had already given an order, and when he encountered people from the Dongcha tribe, he would hide if he could, and he would avoid if he could. In short, don't have anything to do with them. ”

Shaotang heard some doorways, nodded and concluded: "Uncle Shi means that people are in the dark, and we are in the light." Can't afford to hide. But why is our Medicine King Sect so cowardly? The use of poison is also what we are good at, are we afraid of the Dongcha people? ”

Xie Yingyi, who had been listening intently outside, couldn't help but lift the corner of the curtain, and pointed out to this junior brother who he didn't think was very smart: "If you want to succeed with poison, you must know its location, and second, you must be close, these conditions cannot be met, no matter how good you are at poison, who can you do?" Brother, why are you stupider than me? ”

Shaotang let out an "oh" and humbly arched his hand: "Senior brother, don't dislike me." If it weren't for my family thinking I was stupid, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to study medicine and entrusted our sect to take care of it. In the future, I will have to take care of me more. ”

He had a sweet mouth, and one senior brother coaxed Xie Yingjian to accept it stupidly, put down the curtain and continued to catch the car.

Cheng Yi thought more.

The younger sister did not let her son inherit the position of the head of the Ran family, but sent her son to study in the sect, which was by no means as simple as letting him study medicine.

Maybe it's really like what Master said, the Ran family is in a high position in the temple, and it is not as full of flowers as it is in the eyes of outsiders.

The younger sister must be preparing for a rainy day.

He thought of the divination again, and felt that his sister's arrangement was indeed profound. When he looked at Shaotang again, there was a little more pity in his eyes.

"Shaotang, your master is strict with his apprentices and lacks patience with his apprentices. When you arrive at the Medicine King Sect, if you can't stand it, just tell Uncle Shi. ”

Shaotang nodded obediently "oh" in response.

When she was at home, she inquired about who her master was, and why she didn't let her master pick her up, but her uncle came to pick her up.

Mrs. Ran was very tight-mouthed on this matter. Just let her obediently obey the arrangement, apprenticeship is a big deal, don't pick and choose.

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong. My mind is full of --- and my mother is digging a hole for herself again! Master shouldn't be my father's rival again?

Now listening to Uncle Shi's words, I can't help but snort coldly in my heart. The master who is going to meet is really not easy to deal with.

Xie Yingjian opened the curtain again and interjected: "Senior Brother Shaotang, don't be afraid, if the master beats and scolds you, you will come to my master." The disciples in the sect are all envious that I have a good master. ”

Shaotang closed his eyes and rolled his eyes, and lay down on the couch.

Yes, you still praise Master for your treatment of rushing to the car in the middle of the night!

It can be seen that my master can't ask for it.
