Chapter 40: A Serendipitous Encounter
"What?" Mrs. Chen screamed in shock. She looked at the closed door of the main house, then at the old lady Bai who was sitting on the top without saying a word, and finally turned her gaze back to Zhu Luan's face, hoping to find even a trace of jokes on the girl's face.
Miss Nine has a very bad temper and often talks angrily, which must be the same as before, the girl is just losing her temper and talking casually.
Zhu Luan looked at her calmly.
Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Mrs. Chen's forehead.
"I hope you keep those two kids a secret." Just when the atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was almost suffocating, the old lady Bai who was sitting at the top sighed and put the tea cup in her hand back on the table.
The crisp clatter of porcelain was heard.
"I haven't told anyone about this," Mrs. Bai glanced at Mrs. Chen beside her, and then looked deeply at the girl sitting below, "There are too many lice, don't itch, nine girls, there are too many strange things in you, and I won't investigate how you know about this matter at this time." ”
Whether it is possessed by a lonely soul or a wild ghost, whether it is getting the guidance of an immortal in a dream, whether it is a great enlightenment after life and death, or having someone else controlling you behind your back, these are all kinds of reasons.
The difference between an old man and a young man is that there will be no too many expectations and no too many disappointments.
"Abbot Guanhai did tell me," Old Lady Bai nodded lightly.
When she knew that there was no solution to this Gu, Old Lady Bai was like being struck by lightning, and after thinking for a long time, she gritted her teeth and continued to say to the abbot of Guanhai, "Even so, I will raise these two children, and ask the master to tell me how to raise two children." ”
The old monk recited a Buddhist verse and said, "The donor is merciful." ”
"It's enough to give these two children a place where no one disturbs them and they can grow up happily, but ......" the old monk couldn't bear it, "The Gu of the Ghost Bird will absorb the nutrients of the child's growth and give birth to toxins, and as they grow older, more and more toxins will accumulate inside and outside the body, and the burden on the five organs will also increase." ”
He sighed heavily, "If you can live in a place where there is no sunlight at all, the Gu Yuan in your body can be in a semi-dormant state, and it can be kept safe for ten years, and then the Gu Yuan will start to erode the bodies of these two children no matter what." ”
"Once the whole body is covered with tumors, it will be difficult to save the Great Luo Immortals."
The old monk clasped his hands together and bowed his head to Old Taijun Bai, "It's the old man who is incompetent." ”
Ten years, that's the deadline.
It is less than two months before the ten-year period mentioned by the abbot of Guanhai. And the tumors on Zhu Rong and Zhu Yue's bodies have begun to grow wildly in the past year, and they are about to spread all over their bodies.
"Don't tell them," Old Lady Bai's eyes were tired, "even if they are not born as they wish, I always hope that they can live an ordinary life." ”
Zhu Luan still looked at Mrs. Bai quietly, she didn't say anything, just nodded, and her eyes softened.
And Mrs. Chen whimpered beside her, "How can this be, why is the life of the young master and young lady so bitter......
"Who knows?" Zhu Luan suddenly said, "There are many people who are more miserable than them." ”
"Please take the pen and paper." She commanded.
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, and then took a pen and paper from the study next door.
Zhu Luan waved the ink, and in less than a moment a piece of paper was densely written, she blew the written paper gently, stood up, and handed the paper to the old lady Bai.
On the paper, it is not the hairpin flower small letter often written by the ladies, but the book.
Mrs. Bai had never seen the words written by the nine girls, so she couldn't read the handwriting at all, and in her previous impressions, Mrs. Bai even suspected that the unlearned and unskilled obstacle might not be able to write a few large characters at all.
And the book in front of me is not the kind of handsome and elegant, the pen is sharp, but the trend is beautiful, just a prescription, but the strokes and layout have been magnificent.
There are names of various medicinal materials written on it, due to visiting famous doctors, Bai Lao Taijun is about to become half a doctor, but more than half of the names of medicinal materials on the paper are something she has never seen, she frowned, and handed the paper to Mrs. Chen.
"Look at it," she said to Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen took the piece of paper and read it carefully, and Zhu Luan felt that the thin paper was about to be read through by her.
"What kind of medicinal herb is this, I haven't seen it before," Mrs. Chen looked at Zhu Luan suspiciously.
Zhu Luan glanced at the few places she pointed to, which were a few more precious medicinal materials that could be seen in the palace, because of the low yield and high curative effect, they had always been monopolized by the royal family.
Royal.
Zhu Luan pondered for a moment, "I didn't expect it to be so coincidental." ”
"It seems that the lives of your young master and young lady are not so miserable," Zhu Luan smiled slightly, "Even such a coincidence can happen, these medicines are more precious, and the medicine stores outside are estimated to be not sold, but I know where to find these medicines, I'll go find them." She said.
"Where are you going?" Old Lady Bai frowned slightly.
"Lingyan Temple." Zhu Luan replied.
……
……
When Zhu Luan and Yuying came out of the back door of the British Mansion, the carriage was already ready.
Wei Yong sat in the front of the car and drove for her personally.
The last time he walked through this door, Zhu Luan was still tied with his hands and escorted into the car, but he didn't expect to be treated so courteously this time.
"The world is real," she muttered, ignoring the stool lying on the ground, grabbing the wheels with one hand and flipping into the carriage.
Wei Yong's eyes were straight when he was watching from the side.
He has been out of the army as a guard for a large family for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has seen a young lady get into a carriage like this.
Yuying followed behind, but she was obviously not skilled enough, and her butt was stuck on the edge of the car, Zhu Luan laughed, pulled the little girl, and pulled her into the car.
Wei Yong was stunned for a moment, and the stocky man didn't know what to say, so he had to whip his head and drive the car.
"Miss is so good, I can't do it," Yuying sat in the carriage and rubbed her waist and muttered.
"Practice makes perfect, you can climb a few more times in the future," Zhu Luan touched the little girl's head with a smile.
When the carriage came to the foot of the mountain, it could no longer sit, Wei Yong hired a sliding rod at the foot of the mountain, and at the request of Zhu Luan, Yuying also got the treatment of sitting on a sliding rod, and when the three of them reached the top of the mountain, it was already past noon.
The quaint main entrance of the temple, surrounded by lush pine trees, is verdant even in winter, with a hint of sandalwood wafting in the air.
Surprisingly, there are two beautifully laid out sliding poles at the main entrance of the temple.
The ladies who accompanied Princess Jinyang into the incense should have gone back two days ago, and it seems that there are daughters from other families who have newly visited the mountain and the temple today.
Zhu Luan got down from the sliding pole, gave a salute to the monks who were sweeping in front of the temple, and was about to step into the temple when there was a sudden sound of footsteps inside.
"Lady Tao, please stay, just send it here, the courtiers and the little girl will leave, I really thank Her Royal Highness the princess for taking care of the child along the way, and please ask the Tao lady to convey the gratitude of the entire Duan clan to the princess again." A woman's voice came.
Zhu Luan raised his head.
On the opposite side, a woman with a young girl was about to leave the temple, and after greeting a woman dressed as a female official, she turned to the direction of the temple gate......
Then Zhu Luan saw the two people on the opposite side raise their heads and see themselves, and then as if they were frozen, they were stunned in place.
"What a coincidence, Mrs. Duan." Zhu Luan smiled and said, "Do you also come to offer incense?" ”
