Sleep together in the ancient temple and listen to the spring rain
Sure enough, after walking less than a mile, I saw a black thing on the side of the road, which was probably the small temple. Qin Yixuan carried Shang Zhilin into the small temple on his back. He put Shang Zhilin sideways on the futon for people to kneel in the small temple, took out the fire sickle and lit the fire, and lit the remaining candles in the temple. The small temple suddenly lit up.
Qin Yanxuan looked around the small temple and found that the small temple was too small, no more than eight feet high, no more than six feet deep, and only nine feet long. There is a goddess at the door, which looks like a grandmother's temple. Some of the offerings on the table have become moldy, and it seems that the incense is not strong, and no one has come for a long time. Fortunately, there was a porch outside, and Qin Yanxuan bolted the horse to the pillar under the porch. Shang Zhilin lay in the temple, almost occupying the entire space, and Qin Yanxuan could only sit on the threshold.
Qin Yixuan gently helped Shang Zhilin up, and then he saw that the injured woman was indeed Shang Zhilin. Shang Zhilin's eyes were closed, her face was pale, and her breathing was weak. Qin Yixuan took out the silver needles and medicine from the horse's bag, took another offering bowl and took it to the eaves outside to catch a bowl of rainwater, and fed a "Bilian Gum Ginseng Dan".
After a bag of cigarettes, Shang Zhilin woke up slowly, her face became bloody, and she gradually became ruddy. When he opened his eyes and looked at Qin Yanxuan by candlelight, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "It's you?" ”
Qin Zhenxuan said: "You know me? Why do I hear you speak so familiarly? Where do we seem to have met? Shang Zhilin hurriedly said: "I don't know, I don't know, I want to say that you carried me over?" After speaking, she suddenly remembered that she was lying on Qin Yuxuan's back, grinding her ears and temples all the way, and she couldn't help but turn a red glow on her face, and hurriedly lowered her head.
Shang Zhilin suddenly covered the wound on his left shoulder with his right hand and reached out to pull out the dart. Qin Yanxuan hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Girl, no." Shang Zhilin gently withdrew his hand, Qin Yixuan felt out of shape, and couldn't help but show embarrassment.
Qin Yixuan coughed dryly and said, "Girl, I want to treat your dart wound, and ask the girl to take off her coat." Shang Zhilin was ashamed when she heard this, and turned her face away and was silent. Qin Yuxuan said: "The girl's injury is not light, if the dart is not taken out as soon as possible, I am afraid that she will lose too much blood and lead to a coma, and I am afraid that I will worry about my life after a long time." Shang Zhilin was silent for a long time, and Qin Yanxuan comforted her: "There is no distinction between men and women in Langzhong's eyes, and all patients are the same in Langzhong's eyes." If you don't believe me, girl, I can make you a vow. If I have bad intentions towards the girl, tomorrow I will be beaten in the head by the bandits. ”
Shang Zhilin hurriedly said: "Who wants you to make an oath?" And swore such a poisonous oath. I...... I know that the third master is a righteous man and a gentleman, and it seems that there is no other way today, everything is up to the third master......" At the end, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't continue.
Qin Yuxuan gently unbuttoned Shang Zhilin's coat, only to see that the red belly pocket was exposed inside. Shang Zhilin's eyes were closed, her face was flushed, and she was panting with nervousness. Qin Yanxuan took off her coat and looked at her back, only to see Shang Zhilin's skin like clotted fat, with a dart stuck in her left shoulder. The dart was very deep into the flesh, but the injury did not look as serious as Liu Heiqi. He pierced several silver needles in several places to block the acupuncture points and stop the blood flow. Gently pulled out the dart and applied the "Qin's Golden Creation Cream".
At this moment, suddenly the temple door opened with a "squeak", and Qin Yixuan and Shang Zhilin were taken aback at the same time. The two thought that Chen Nanshan was chasing after them, Shang Zhilin hurriedly put on his clothes, held the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Who is it?" ”
I saw a man coming in from outside the door, and a horse was led behind him, and the man was drenched. Qin Yixuan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, it turned out that the person who came was Li Youlan.
Li Youlan looked at the scene in front of her, and saw Shang Zhilin's clothes disheveled, her hair scattered, and even the red belly pocket inside was exposed. Seeing Qin Yanxuan bowing his head on top of her, he couldn't help but be ashamed and anxious, shocked and angry.
Li Youlan suddenly stomped her feet in anger, pointed at Qin Yunxuan and said, "Okay, you Qin Yunxuan, I have always treated you as a righteous gentleman, who knew that you were actually a womanizer." ”
Qin Yixuan also recognized Li Youlan, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, "It turned out to be Miss Li, you ...... You misunderstood, this girl was injured, and I was treating her just now. ”
Li Youlan glanced at Shang Zhilin and Qin Yuxuan, suddenly turned around and got on the horse, and said sadly: "I'm sorry to disturb the good things of the two of you, I'll leave now." As he spoke, he took the reins of his horse and plunged into the pouring rain.
"Miss Li, listen to me, this is really a misunderstanding. Besides, it's raining so hard outside, you'll get sick from the rain. ”
"I let the rain rain rain and kill you, and I don't care about it." Li Youlan said and disappeared into the vast rain curtain. Qin Yixuan chased him out and shouted loudly: "Miss Li, listen to me, Miss Li ......" But Li Youlan had already walked away......
The fashion lynch was already dressed and didn't know when she was standing behind him.
Shang Zhilin asked softly, "Do you know the girl just now?" ”
Qin Yuxuan said: "We met in Daokou Town, we met in Pingshui, and we just knew each other. ”
Shang Zhilin let out a soft "oh" and asked, "It turns out that you are Mr. Qin Zhenxuan, a famous doctor in Kaizhou." ”
Qin Zhenxuan nodded: "Don't you dare to call it a famous doctor, it is Qin Zhenxuan of Taiping Town, Kaizhou." After speaking, a cloud of doubt suddenly appeared in my heart: "I told Li Youlan in Daokou Town that my surname is Zhang, and I opened a Zhang Ji pharmacy in Kaizhou, how does she know my name?" ”
Shang Zhilin was silent for a while, raised his head, and his eyes were facing Qin Yuxuan. Both of them were flustered, and each lowered his head in a hurry. Then there was silence in the temple, and neither of them knew what to say. I only heard the night rain outside the temple, hitting the Qin bricks and Han tiles of the small temple, and the raindrops were falling under the eaves. The rainy night in late spring was unexpectedly cold, and the clothes of both of them were drenched, and Shang Zhilin's body was weak and shivering from the cold.
Qin Yixuan said: "I'll go and make a fire." Shang Zhilin said softly: "It's raining outside, and everything that can be burned is wet." Qin Yuxuan said: "I have a way." As he spoke, he cleaned up the offerings and incense burners on the offering table, took Shang Zhilin's sword and clicked a few swords, smashed the table, took a candle and ignited the wood, and a warm spring suddenly appeared in the small temple.
Qin Yanxuan sat by the fire, picked Shang Zhilin's clothes with his sword and baked them by the fire, and the two were silent for a while. The raindrops outside were ticking, and the fire in the temple was beeping and peeling. Qin Yanxuan dried Shang Zhilin's clothes and covered her. Shang Zhilin finally broke the silence: "Third Master Qin, do you know who I am?" ”
Although Qin Yanxuan had heard her voice in the woods, and today he carried her so far in the rain and healed her, but he never knew her name. I was busy treating my injuries just now and didn't have time to ask, but now I want to ask but I'm too embarrassed to ask. Qin Yanxuan is a conservative person, and he panics when he sees a woman, especially when he sees a beautiful woman, so he never knows the other party's name.
Qin Yanxuan shook his head: "I haven't asked the girl's name yet." Shang Zhilin said: "My surname is Shang Zhilin, and my nickname is 'Overseas Feihong'." Qin Yixuan said softly "oh" and said, "What a beautiful name." ”
Shang Zhilin's face turned slightly red and continued: "The third master must think that I am a heinous female bandit, specializing in the murder of the house and the house that has lost her conscience, right? ”
Qin Yanxuan lowered his head and said silently, "Is this still fake?" I've seen it all. Shang Zhilin saw that he was silent, and said faintly: "Everyone thinks that I am a big devil, since you also think so, then why do you want to save me?" Just let me die. As he spoke, he cried "woo", and his words were full of grievances and complaints.
Qin Yixuan was speechless for a while, so he had to say: "It is the duty of a doctor to save the dead and help the wounded, even if you are a demon who kills people without blinking, I will still save you." ”
When Shang Zhilin heard this, she cried even more: "I thought you saved me and thought I was a good person, but who knew that you really regarded me as a female demon." I don't want you to save it. Saying that, he struggled to get up and walked out of the temple, Qin Yanxuan grabbed her: "Where are you going?" It's raining outside, and you're so badly injured, you're going to die outside. ”
Shang Zhilin became more and more angry: "It's just right to die outside, anyway, I have no relatives and no reason, and no one in this world hurts at all, and I have always been misunderstood, so it's better to die." Saying that, he broke free of Qin Xuanxuan's arm and was about to go out, Qin Zhixuan pulled her back violently in a hurry, Shang Zhilin was caught off guard, and fell into Qin Xuanxuan's arms all of a sudden. Her delicate body trembled slightly, her eyes were closed, and she suddenly opened her eyes and broke free from Qin Yuxuan's arms and sat on the futon.
Qin Yanxuan's face flushed slightly, and he also sat on the threshold. I only heard Shang Zhilin say: "Actually, you think that I am a heinous devil and I can't complain about you." But the truth is not as you think, do you want to know the truth of the matter? Qin Yixuan nodded: "I really want to know everything about you." ”
Shang Zhilin was very happy after hearing this: "Actually, I'm not really a bandit, I'm a disciple of the 'White Coat Society'. As you can see, we Christians are dressed in white, which means that our souls are as white and flawless as lotus flowers. ”
Qin Yanxuan's heart moved when he heard this: "Are you and the 'White Lotus Sect' in the Jiaqing period of this dynasty the same sect and sect?" ”
After Shang Zhilin took Qin Yuxuan's "Bilian Gum Ginseng Dan", she felt a warm current surging all over her body, and the wound on her back was numb and cold, and she felt refreshed, and continued: "We have a certain relationship, we all believe in the common ancestor Maitreya Buddha and King Ming. But it's not exactly the same, the White Lotus Sect in the Jiaqing period believed in the 'unborn old mother', while we believed in the 'White Lady'. It can be said that the same sect is different, just like the Buddhist temples all over the world believe in the Buddha Shakyamuni, but the world's temples do not know how many, and each temple has its own rules. ”
Qin Yixuan seemed to understand a little, and only listened to Shang Zhilin continue: "All the White Lotus Sects believe in the 'Two Sects and Three Realms', the so-called 'Two Sects' are the two sects of light and darkness, light is light, which means justice and truth, and dark is darkness, which represents sin and treachery. These two sides are constantly fighting, and we believe that now that Maitreya Buddha has been born, light will soon come. ”
Qin Zhenxuan asked: "Then what is the 'Three Worlds'?" Shang Zhilin coughed lightly: "'Sanji' refers to 'Qingyang', 'Red Yang', and 'White Yang'. The 'Qingyang' world is the period when the Buddha of the Burning Lamp rules the universe, when there was no heaven and earth and the world, but there was already light and dark. The 'red sun' is the reign of Shakyamuni, when the heavens and the earth have been opened, but darkness has the upper hand, and the 'white sun' is the reign of Maitreya Buddha, when light has overcome darkness. The Jiaqing period was still the reign of Shakyamuni, so although the Great White Lotus Rebellion in Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, and Gansu provinces lasted for nine years and four months, it was finally suppressed by the government. Now that Maitreya Buddha has been born, the light will soon come. ”
Qin Yanxuan was confused when he heard this, and then asked, "Since it is now Maitreya Buddha who rules the world, why do you say that you believe in the 'White Lady'?" ”
Shang Zhilin said: "Maitreya Buddha is the cosmic Buddha who rules the world, do you think he can manage such a big world alone?" Just like now the country has an emperor and the provinces have governors. The 'White Lady' is the goddaughter of Maitreya Buddha, who lives in the East China Sea and is ordered by Maitreya Buddha to govern Middle-earth. And our leader, the 'Holy Aunt', is in charge of the Central Plains and has come here to help the suffering. ”
Qin Yanxuan listened disapprovingly: "You said that Maitreya Buddha has been born, the light has come, and the 'White Lady' governs Middle Earth, and her magic power is boundless. But why did foreign devils bully our Great Qing Kingdom, but she didn't care at all? This one came and fired a few guns to ask for money and land, and that one came to put a few shots to rob and kill? Doesn't the 'Lady in White' know? Why do you let these foreign devils act recklessly and run rampant? Does her old man only know how to sit in the East China Sea every day and enjoy pure happiness? ”
Shang Zhilin said: "It's not that the 'White Lady' will let it go, her old man has already issued a will to the 'Holy Aunt', asking us to propagate the doctrine, recruit disciples, kill all foreigners, and recover the land. The reason why we want to rob Chen Baozhen's dog official is to respond to the call of the 'Holy Mother in White' and the order of the 'Holy Aunt' to raise funds and gather strength. ”
Qin Yuxuan said in surprise: "Oh, I see. Miss Shang, how much silver is Chen Baozhen worth for you to rob the people? And so many brothers. Shang Zhilin said: "As the saying goes: 'Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.'" 'The Qing official is like this, then Chen Baozhen squeezed out the people's fat and people's ointment, and the silver is more than one million taels. Qin Yixuan was secretly speechless when he heard this, and said in his heart: "I think my money is not small, who knows that it can't be compared with a county master, let alone a first-class member in the court." ”
The two talked until the second half of the night, and finally they were so sleepy that they both fell asleep. Qin Yanxuan was originally sitting on the threshold and sleeping with his head on his knees, but then he fell asleep beside Shang Zhilin unconsciously. The night rain outside was still bleak, and the two people in the house slept quietly in the cold night. As Zhu Yizun wrote in the poem "Guidian Autumn": "Sleep together and listen to the spring rain, and the little flute is cold." ”
