Chapter 151: The Old Temple in the Back Mountain
The old pavilion master returned from the basement in vain, and when he came back, he saw his daughter trembling slightly on the bed, her lips were white, and she was shouting for water.
He quickly poured a cup of tea for his daughter, and moistened his lips with his mouth, but he couldn't drink it, he gently pinched his daughter's mouth, and saw that the monkey's head inside was already swollen very big, since the water couldn't be fed, let alone the medicine that boiled out.
What can I do? The old pavilion master was anxious, but he didn't want to talk about it with others, and at this time, another disciple knocked on the door outside the door.
Cen Chan didn't want to open the door, but the disciple kept knocking, and there was no intention of stopping, the old pavilion master went to open the door, and he was about to get angry, but when he saw someone coming, he got angry and took it back.
It's Juqin.
Yuqin knows that the master is in a very bad mood right now, but someone must report the matter!
But in order not to make the master angry, Yuqin hurriedly spoke.
"Master, the senior brother has sent a letter, and he will be back in three days."
The old pavilion master calmed down for a moment, and then asked.
"Why did you suddenly set a date for your return? Did he already know about Gu Chao? ”
"What? No one dared to tell him at all, so he had to wait for the senior brother to come back and let him know for himself. ”
The old pavilion master sighed deeply, hesitated for a while, and said.
"You let the pigeon pass the word, and then send him a letter back, saying that if he can find any miracle medicine for arrow wounds along the way, bring back more of them."
"Yes, Master, is Senior Sister's illness serious? Please let me take care of her, Senior Sister changes her medicine and clothes every day, Yuqin can't bear to watch Senior Sister suffer, and wants to do her part for Senior Sister. ”
The old pavilion master thought about it for a while, but he was still worried that Yuqin would be sick.
Yuqin knew what the master was worried about, so he retreated and said.
"I don't often come to contact my senior sister, I only go once when she changes her medicine and clothes, and I will bring her food, I will cover my mouth and nose with a gauze scarf, and at this time, the epidemic does not seem to be so easy to infect, otherwise my senior sister and senior brother are in the Heihe place every day, and they would have been infected a long time ago."
Cen Chan was moved by this statement, but he still reminded.
"But I still have to send Gu Chao to the back mountain, it has been raining recently, the moss on the mountain is slippery, and the path is dangerous, I am afraid that it is not safe for you to go alone."
Yuqin took the opportunity to say.
"Then you can let Senior Brother Chang Yu go with you."
The old pavilion master immediately changed his serious face.
"Since he has entered the ancestral hall, naturally there is no reason to come out easily, if he hadn't pinched Gu Chao every day, Gu Chao would not have been so reckless, this time the thousand cluster arrows, didn't he let Gu Chao take him down the mountain, he always had to sharpen and sharpen, you don't need to say it again."
Yuqin had already reached her first goal this time, so she didn't ask for anything more, and respectfully pushed it out, and hurried to the small kitchen to find something to eat, planning to send dinner to Sanyu.
The old pavilion master closed the door, looked back at Gu Chao again, and was surprised to find that she had opened her eyes, as if she had woken up, so he hurried over.
"How? Do you feel a little more comfortable? ”
Gu Chao frowned and shook his head, as if he couldn't speak.
"Your throat is swollen so badly that you can't speak now, I'll feed you a bowl of medicine later, you swallow it as hard as you can, and see if you can get better tonight."
Gu Chao moved his arm and wanted to sit up dressed as a body, but as soon as he moved the wound, it was heart-rending pain, so he moved his fingers and didn't dare to move anymore.
"Don't move yet, the more you move like this, the more painful it becomes, this medicine has been applied several times, but there are still blood stains oozing out, if you move less, it will heal faster."
Gu Chao can neither move nor speak now, can only endure the pain all over his body, and cannot express his needs.
Gu Chao was in pain all over her body now, even a hundred times more painful than the moment when the crossbow shot directly in, she had never felt so clearly that she was about to die.
There was a tear in the corner of his eye, which was drawn down shallowly and fell on the corner of his mouth, he could only feel the salty feeling, but in the eyes of the old pavilion master, it was even more heart-piercing.
"Child, I shouldn't have let you go down the mountain alone so early, and I shouldn't have handed you over to Chang Yu when your senior brother was not around, I should have thought that you should stay on the mountain with peace of mind from now on, with me and your senior brother, I will be able to protect you for the rest of your life."
When Gu Chao heard this, he remembered Song Jinyao, who had been trapped at home for more than ten years, although his father was for her good, but if he really wanted to stay in the mountains for the rest of his life, wouldn't it be the same as Song Jinyao?
Gu Chao used the remaining strength of her body and shook her head suddenly, although she liked it very much and was very nostalgic for this place, but one day, she still had to go out to find a truth.
This is her home, of course she will not abandon her home, maybe when she finds the truth, she will guard the Qingzun Pavilion and dedicate her life, but if she is allowed to stay here forever and never go out, that is what she can't do.
The old pavilion master treats her as a daughter, and after so many years, of course, he doesn't understand Gu Chao, he knows what Gu Chao is thinking in his heart.
But the truth that Gu Chao wanted to know was the biggest threat to her life, and he absolutely couldn't let her get close to this truth.
This time, Gu Chao just approached the prince, and after only a few days of getting along, he had already been killed like this, it is unimaginable that if Gu Chao chose to surround Princess Rongqu head-on, then what she brought would be a catastrophe.
Since God arranged for Gu Chao to come to his side, it was a child for him, and it was also a responsibility that he chose to bear.
Cen Chan just wants to protect her, protect her for the rest of her life, and not fall into hatred.
This is the mistake of those in power, and since someone has already fallen victim to power, then this child should no longer be allowed to suffer the pain of revenge.
Maybe one day Gu Xiang really became a very powerful person, and he would tell her before he left this world, but it was definitely not now.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, you have the epidemic, there are still many of your junior brothers and sisters on the mountain, you can't let them also get infected, and the day after tomorrow, Daddy will send you to the back mountain, there is a monk, I will arrange for him to take care of you, and I will come to see you every day, understand?"
Gu Chao closed his eyes and nodded, and there was no objection.
"Good boy, after drinking the medicine, drink some clear porridge, you can sleep, fall asleep, it won't hurt so much, sleep a few more days, the injury on the body will be healed, when the time comes, Daddy will spare time to take you out to play, so many years, you have patronized the practice, you have not had the opportunity to go to the outside world to see, this is the first time you went down the mountain, you encountered such a thing, it is not your fault, and then Daddy personally took you out, and no one will hurt you again."
Gu Chao's eyes flashed with tears, nodded with a smile, shook his father's hand, and fell asleep contentedly.
By the time Cen Chan came out of the room, it was already dark, and there were no disciples practicing in the courtyard outside, so they must have been affected by this incident.
On the path to the kitchen, there were occasionally a few little disciples, who hurriedly saluted and hurried back to the room when they passed by Cen Chan's side.
Looking at these children who were rushing back and forth, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
