Or did Na Zhaoshui realize the gaffe, restrained his expression, and said gently: "Ah Tian, I came to the vegetable field early in the morning, but I was hoeing?" Don't be busy, I'll just hoe. ”

Ah Tian shook his head. "Brother monk, I'm here to have breakfast with you."

"It's hard to worry about you."

When Ah Tian heard this, he felt that there was restraint in his words, so he chewed it, feeling a little uncomfortable, but it was difficult to say anything.

The two of them then returned to the temple one after the other for breakfast. The serpent also went to the neighborhood to feed.

After eating according to the water, he went to look for a hat, changed his shoes, and put a burden on his back. Seeing this, Ah Tian asked, "Brother monk, are you going out?" ”

"Yes. I'm going to a town and looking for someone. ”

"Looking for someone? How far away? Ah Tian follows you, and he can take care of it on the road. Ah Tian was quite reluctant, and his eyes were still there.

"You don't have to follow me. In the end, the road is bumpy, and it takes days and nights to come and go. I'll be back when I'm done. This morning, I went to a nearby village and told a few female monks who often come to offer incense, and if you are afraid, they will come and spend the night with you. "Shine on the water, let Ah Tian just rest assured.

In this way, Ah Tian really can't say anything.

Brother Monk still cares about her, she really can't ask for more.

Shine on the water and leave.

Ah Tian wanted to speak and stopped, standing in front of the temple and looking forward.

It was the rainy season. The air is dull and swallows fly low. Every now and then, there will always be a sporadic light rain throughout the day. Ah Tian then remembered that the monk's brother didn't bring an umbrella.

Halfway through the walk, the light rain turned into a heavy rain, wouldn't it be drenched into a soup chicken?

Ah Tian found an umbrella and followed the pace of the water, eager to chase after it. She wanted to scream, but kept her mouth shut. It is better to follow behind, as long as she can see the back of the monk's brother, she is also happy.

This walk went from morning to noon.

Ah Tian was a little tired, but the water in front of him was still walking like a fly.

When he reached a cluster of thorns in front of him, Ah Tian slipped under his feet, fell, and called out "ouch" in his mouth. Zhaoshui was alert and hesitated to turn around, and Ah Tian hurriedly hid into the bushes.

Zhaoshui thought about it, and simply sat down on a rock, opened his baggage, and ate dry food. Then he went to the river with a bowl to get water, and drank it in large gulps.

Ah Tian brought an umbrella, but nothing else.

She was hungry. Looking at the water and eating the steamed buns, my heart was hungry.

After eating enough water, he continued on his way. At dusk, I finally walked to a bridge. After crossing the bridge, there is a small town called Caisang in front of you. The people who are not thoughtful to find according to the water practice in the ancient cave not far behind the town.

Ah Tian finally couldn't hold it anymore. She held on to the bridge pole and wanted to rest. Zhaoshui didn't know that there was someone behind him.

At this time, it was really raining in the air. The rain drops become the size of soybean grains. It hits the body, it hurts.

Shine the water went faster.

Ah Tian wanted to call Zhaoshui, but his throat was dry, he couldn't say a word, and his voice was hoarse, so he had to watch Zhaoshui go farther and farther, so that he couldn't see it.

It was only when it was dark that the pouring rain stopped.

According to the water, he entered Caisang Town, but he didn't find anyone who was not thoughtful in the ancient cave. The boy guarding the entrance of the cave told Zhaoshui that it was the master who had traveled far away, and you came unlucky.

Zhaoshui was very melancholy. He was concerned about Ah Tian, did not stay in the town, borrowed a lantern, and returned the same way.

When I returned to the bridge, I saw a man lying sideways in front of me in the dark and hazy front. Zhaoshui was startled and thought it was a robber. When he was bold, he walked over, and when the lantern shone on, he was surprised by the water.

How could it be Atian?

He thought he was wrong.

"Ah Tian, Ah Tian ......" Zhaoshui helped her up, and called anxiously again and again. Ah Tian heard it, but his body was limp and weak, so he only nodded his head lightly with difficulty.

There are so many taboos in the water pipe, kneeling on the bridge, and holding Ah Tian in his arms. She was already soaking wet. looked at her forehead again, and it was really hot, and he was even more distressed.

If you have a belly in the water, you have to ask Ah Tian. Why didn't this stupid girl stay in the temple obediently, why did she have to sneak out with him?

Tonight, it seems that I can't go back to the small temple.

He carried Ah Tian on his back and carried a lantern, got off the bridge, searched and searched, and found a dilapidated house. The monk picked up some dead firewood, set up a fire, and lit a fire.

Ah Tian lay beside the fire, although he was roasted by the fire, his head was even hotter, and it did not relieve him at all.

She was groggy and began to talk nonsense.

I boiled hot water in a bowl and fed Ah Tian a few mouthfuls. Under the reflection of the firelight, Zhaoshui found that Ah Tian's complexion was very different, and many small red dots suddenly appeared on his face, which was a bit like a rash.

Zhaoshui's heart tightened, could it be that Ah Tian had smallpox?

That's not good! He didn't have time to think about it, closed his eyes, took off Ah Tian's clothes indiscriminately, and then turned his back and put it next to the fire to roast it. The flames were blazing. He dried her clothes in the water, closed his eyes and rubbed them on for her.

"Ah Tian, I'm not blaspheming, don't blame me."

It's done. Zhaoshui extinguished the fire, and then carried Ah Tian on his back and returned to the town. He vaguely remembered that there was a white-bearded old man in Caisang Town who was consulting smallpox, but he forgot the location.

After a few tosses, the sky will be bright.

At dawn, many residents in Caisang Town pushed the windows, opened the door, cleaned the front yard and the back yard, and when they raised their eyes, they saw a young monk carrying a handsome big girl on his back, running all the way. He looked anxious, and when he met people, he inquired about the address of Whitebeard Langzhong, which aroused the curiosity of the townspeople, pulled the sleeve of Zhaoshui's coat, and asked long and short questions.

In the crowd, most of them were enthusiastic.

One of them pointed out the address of Zhaoshui, and kindly persuaded him: "You monk, do you know that you are carrying a girl like this, you have already broken the color precepts, you need to return to the vulgar!" ”

Shōsui didn't want to explain.

The other person said kindly: "Monk, Na Lang is old, and there is only one hour a day to see a doctor, you need to go early, if it is late and the diagnosis and treatment are delayed, this girl is really going to become a pockmark!" ”

The onlookers all saw that Ah Tian was infected with smallpox.

Caisang Town is dozens of miles away from the small temple of Zhaoshui practice, but the folk customs are very different, very simple, and the treatment of people is also generous.

Zhaoshui successfully found Langzhong. has already missed the hour, Lang Zhong doesn't want to entertain guests, and thinks that Zhaoshui is a flower monk who doesn't do his job, and he feels even more disgusted. I can't shine on the water, so I have no choice but to report the name of the inconsiderate person. "Lu Daochang is a friend of the poor monk, and he has always had dealings with the poor monk. When the poor monk was 12 years old, he also had a smallpox episode, and it was you, the doctor, who treated the poor monk. These are remembered by the poor monks. ”

When Na Langzhong heard this, a pair of eyes hidden under his white eyebrows lit up, and he looked at the water again, slightly thoughtful, and his attitude changed.

He opened Ah Tian's sleeve, and Zhaoshui was even more shocked.

Ah Tian's arms, neck, palms, and palms were already red and swollen, and his mouth was even more painful.

Lang Zhong told Zhaoshui: "Fortunately, you delivered it in time." If it's any later, I'm afraid it'll be too late. ”

Zhaoshui was even more anxious, her heart trembled violently, and her voice jumped unsteadily: "Doctor, since it's timely, I think her symptoms and life are okay, right?" ”

This smallpox, if the symptoms are severe and not treated in time, is life-threatening.

The old man said, "I want to be vaccinated." If it goes well, there are no pockmarks on the face. But if it doesn't go well, I'll still leave a few ideas. In short, the outcome depends on the luck of this girl. ”

When Zhaoshui heard this, he felt even more panicked: "I was also diagnosed and treated by you, but there were no pockmarks on my face." Why didn't she go well? ”

"This girl's smallpox came out late, and the toxicity in her body is stronger."

Shine on the water and understand.

Lang Zhong wrote a recipe, gave him a few herbs, and collected them all with water. Lang Zhong handed another jar of wine to Zhaoshui. I was puzzled by the water, and asked what it meant?

"If she stays asleep. And you spray her with liquor. Three times a day. ”

The monks do not drink meat, nor do they drink alcohol. If you drink it, you break your vows.

Shine on the water and ask if there is any other way.

"Nope." Lang Zhong replied in the affirmative, "Only with wine in his mouth, he spit into her nose and mouth." You can't change people, you have to do it. ”

The monk asked why.

Lang Zhong said: "This is how the ancient recipe is recorded. You're the closest person to this girl. She has a lot of pox and poison, and she can't go beyond the outside, and the poison attacks her heart, and she is immortal. Although you are a monk, you are a man after all, and the masculinity in your body can help her to support the poison, and when the poison is poisoned, she will naturally be happy, and if she is happy, people will wake up. ”

Zhaoshui suddenly realized, thanked Langzhong, and said that he came in a hurry, forgot to bring silver taels, is it a few days of grace, and will I send it later?

Na Langzhong smiled leisurely: "No." For the sake of you and those who are not thoughtful, this medicine will be exempted. Besides, you are a monk with a kind heart, and when you first entered the door, I misunderstood you. ”

More than ten years have passed, and the appearance of Zhaoshui has changed, and Lao Langzhong is no longer recognizable.

"Amitabha, thank you so much."

Zhaoshui clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, and wanted to carry Ah Tian away.

"Wait." The lady in the middle of the room walked out of the back room and smiled charitantly at Zhaoshui, "Little monk, I see that you treat this girl with affection." Otherwise, just return to the vulgar and find a livelihood elsewhere. You've been skin-to-skin with her, and your mind is no longer pure. ”

Zhaoshui said: "The wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart." I went skin-to-skin with her, and that was to save him. The Buddha is everywhere and he will forgive me. ”

The lady laughed when she heard it.

Zhaoshui went out with Ah Tian on his back.

Lang Zhong sighed: "This little monk, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are clearly in love with that girl, but he doesn't admit it." ”

It is also thanks to the good physique of the water, running all the way, although panting, but the feet are also stable and powerful. When she returned to the temple, the monk helped Ah Tian to lie down, and gave her the medicine according to the prescription.

"Monk, monk...... Why don't you run? There were hurried footsteps coming in from outside the temple. When I looked up at the water, I saw that they were all villagers living nearby.
