Chapter 20 Establishment of the Bureau (6)
"Chen'er!" Li Zhong turned around and went out and beckoned to Cheng Chen!
"Brother, can there be people living here?" Cheng Chen stood on tiptoe slightly and looked inside.
Li Zhong led Cheng Chen to the courtyard. "There are people living here, big brother go and pour you a glass of water to drink!" The two of them had already walked into the small courtyard while talking.
Cheng Chen walked towards the old woman, and when she got in front of her, Weifu bowed, "Old woman, I'm sorry to disturb you, can the junior ask for a glass of water to quench his thirst?" ”
"Who are you looking for? Who to look for? The old woman looked at the little girl in front of her. I don't know who she's looking for.
Cheng Chen felt that this old woman seemed to be a little behind her ears, and repeated again: "Old woman, the juniors are not looking for someone, the juniors are trying to ask for some water to drink." ”
"Who are you looking for? Who are you looking for? My daughter-in-law is not at home, you come back at noon! ”
Cheng Chen gave up struggling...
"Chen'er! Come and have a drink! Li Zhong came over with a kettle and a cup, and poured a glass of water for Cheng Chen.
Cheng Chen smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to take the cup, and said, "Thank you, brother!" ”
After drinking two cups in a row to quench his thirst, Li Chong took the cup that Cheng Chen had drunk and continued to drink water.
This guy wants to kiss indirectly? Cheng Chen didn't stop him, watched him drink, and the two left the small courtyard after drinking water.
—————————————————————
The carriage swayed too slowly, and Mrs. Chen, who went to the Taoist temple of Ximing Mountain, walked for almost an hour before arriving at Ximing Mountain.
The Ximing Mountain Taoist Temple enshrines the Sanqing Patriarch, and there are only 21 female Taoist priests in it, which is a medium-sized Taoist temple.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
The old Taoist temple master brought a middle-aged female Taoist aunt out to greet the most bold pilgrims of the Taoist temple.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Mrs. Chen is here! Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Mrs. Chen is pious! Even on a stormy day, it can't stop the lady from coming to worship, and the Sanqing patriarch will bless the lady's well-being! ”
When the middle-aged female Taoist priest next to him smiled and opened her mouth to flatter, the old viewer next to her frowned imperceptibly.
The old viewer swept away the fleeting displeasure, and looked at Mrs. Chen with a kind face: "Madam, please come in!" ”
A group of female dependents followed the old temple and they entered the Taoist temple, and the male guards stayed at the door of the Taoist temple.
"Scatter them all to check, and if there is no situation, they will come back to guard."
"Yes! Commander," the guards promised in unison.
After Mrs. Chen and her daughter went into the subjective piety to burn incense and bow, she took her daughter to wander aimlessly and chat in the back garden of the Taoist temple, waiting for lunch and then going to the Taoist temple guest room to copy the scriptures.
The mother and daughter were talking and laughing, when they suddenly saw a big-bellied woman holding the trunk of the tree and moaning under the peach tree in front of them.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chen hurriedly walked over.
"This lady, but your stomach hurts?" Mrs. Chen stepped forward and grabbed the lady's arm, leaning her other side against her.
The woman in the coarse cloth dress looked pained, looked up at the noble lady who came to help, opened her trembling lips in pain, and spit out a few words with difficulty, "It hurts... My stomach hurts! ”
"Isn't it going to give birth? Mama Chen, go and call someone! Qiu Xiang came to take a hand and helped her lie down! Mrs. Chen led Qiu Xiang to help the pregnant woman slowly lie flat on the ground, she had given birth to a child, and knew that lying down was better than sitting.
After the pregnant woman lay down, she kept holding Mrs. Chen's hand and pleaded bitterly:
"Madame, please help me! Help me! ”
A female Taoist aunt heard the call for help and ran over in two steps, and was quite nervous when she saw the pregnant woman howling in pain, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Ma'am, do you still need help? ”
Mrs. Chen said eagerly: "Little master, this lady may be about to give birth." Hurry up and ask the doctor to come. ”
Xiao Daogu promised again and again, and said: "That poor nun went down the mountain to invite someone, Miss Chen, this woman has a dirty child, and a woman who has not left the pavilion can't see it!" Please take a break from the front with the poor nunty! ”
"Jin'er, you just go to the front with the little master and wait, there are me and Qiu Xiang!" Mrs. Chen also felt that what the little Taoist priest said was very right, and echoed it.
Chen Jin followed the little Dao Gu in front of him to the back mountain of the Taoist Temple, Chen Jin had also been to this back mountain, but he didn't set foot too far, and he was a little hesitant at the moment.
Chen Jin stopped and looked around with a curtain, and the quiet woods in front of her made her feel a trace of fear, "Little master, I want to go back after walking a little far." ”
"Buddha Amitayus! Female donor, there are a few grass huts on here, which are the cultivation residences of the Lord! The poor nun has to go down the mountain to ask for a doctor, and the female benefactor please take care of herself! The female Taoist priest said that she walked down the mountain path in front.
Chen Jin glanced at the thatched hut that Daogu said, hesitated for a while, but decided to go back, turned back and walked a few steps, and saw a purse in the pile of dead wood leaves on the road ahead, so he picked it up.
The purse emitted a very strong sandalwood fragrance and seemed to be mixed with another fragrance, Chen Jin did not open the purse, but just leaned in front of his nose and smelled it.
The grass is spinning in front of me... This was Chen Jin's only perception before he fainted.

"Brother, I can't walk anymore, I don't want to go!"
Li Zhong looked at Cheng Chen, who was standing in place panting, and his heart moved, and said; "It's Chen'er herself who said that she wants to go to the top of the mountain, and she has been walking for a long time, and the top of the mountain can be seen in front of you, don't you want the eldest brother to carry you up?"
Cheng Chen was helpless, and walked forward with his steps, "Just lead me." ”
"Good!" Li Chong was ecstatic.
Li Zhong led Cheng Chen and continued to walk forward for a while, and finally went up to the top of the mountain, the back mountain of the Ximing Mountain Taoist Temple, and both of them saw the row of dilapidated thatched houses.
"Brother, there is a hut, shall we go over and rest?"
There were three huts, one of which was locked, and the lock was rusty, as if it had not been opened for a long time. The other two rooms are empty, one is a bedroom, only a bed and a shrine, there are three fine incense sticks burning on the shrine platform, Cheng Chen took off his shoes and lay on the bed when he entered the bedroom. The bed is covered with stacks of straw topped by coarse cloth mattresses.
Li Zhong sat on the edge of the bed and listened to the sound of the beauty's even breathing, his mind was full of dirty thoughts, and he took off his shoes and lay down after struggling for a long time.
Didn't have time to do anything.........
Li Chong felt very tired, felt very sleepy, and also fell asleep...
After Li Zhong fell asleep, Cheng Chen's eyes suddenly opened, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes.
"Down?"
A female Taoist priest who had just led the way for Chen Jin appeared at the door,—— Lihong...
Cheng Chen glanced at Li Chong and said lightly: "The water he drank on the road was only added a little, and he could be dragged here to have a seizure, plus the fierce material in the room, it was enough for him to sleep until tomorrow and carry people in!" ”
"Right now!" After Li Hongcai finished speaking, he heard the sound of a 'creak' opening from the locked room next door, and two people who were also dressed as female Taoist aunts walked in, and a young woman was lying on the bed in the room.
————————————————————
Mrs. Chen has been busy for a long time, and she feels that her back hurts and her hands hurt, and her knees also hurt.
The pregnant woman grabbed Mrs. Chen's arm tightly and refused to let go, and Mrs. Chen could only squat on the ground to accompany her, and when she got up after squatting for a long time, she was almost unsteady.
Mrs. Chen didn't care much about the rude and domineering behavior of the pregnant woman, she was well-known for her kindness in the Chang'an ladies circle, and she accompanied the doctor and the midwife at the foot of the mountain before leaving, and she was comforted when she left.
"Sincerely!"
After Mrs. Chen came back, she entered her daughter's room, pushed open the door, and saw that her daughter was not there.
"Sincerely!"
Mrs. Chen went to her room again, but still did not see her daughter. On the way back, he didn't see Jin'er, so he told Mama Chen and Qiu Xiang to find someone. It's going to be lunch, why hasn't this girl come back yet?
"Madam, the old slave and Qiu Xiang went around the entire Taoist temple but didn't find the young lady." Mama Chen reported to Mrs. Chen when she returned.
