Chapter 13: Accidental Injuries
At this moment, the sky was getting dark, and the soup bowl was running out in a bit of a hurry, and I forgot to take a lantern that could be used to light the way.
In addition, she was not familiar with the path in this temple, so she walked east and west, but went to a fork in the road. By the time she realized she was on the wrong path, it was a quarter of an hour later.
"What kind of place is this? It's so dark that you can't see anything. "Although it is summer, the temperature in this mountain has always been lower than outside, and Tang Wan walked alone on this barren mountain road, and I felt a cold swish behind me.
Just as the soup bowl closed her eyes and called the names of the Western Buddhas one by one, she suddenly noticed that not far from where she was standing, something shone brightly.
She rubbed her eyes and looked over there again, and sure enough, something was shining there.
"Who? Who's there? The soup bowl shouted boldly.
"Broken bowl, it's me!" Lu Ziyi's voice spread in the darkness.
"My lord? Why are adults here? The soup bowl was stunned for a moment, but her body reacted faster than her brain, and before she could figure out what was going on, the person had already run to the light.
ran to him, and sure enough, he saw Lu Ziyi sitting there, and he was sitting upright. If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding environment was too gloomy, the soup bowl would almost think that Lu Ziyi was sitting here admiring the moon in the wind.
However, there is no moonlight today.
"I really didn't expect adults to like to enjoy the scenery in this black-lit place." I don't know why, seeing Lu Ziyi in front of him, the heavy feeling in the heart of the soup bowl disappeared all of a sudden.
"I'm done admiring it." Lu Ziyi's voice was a little lower than usual.
"It's just that what's so nice about this kind of place, it's better to get into bed early and go to bed." Hearing that Lu Ziyi was going back, Tang Wan raised her hands in approval, and then she immediately turned around and planned to go back.
"Your lord, I'm still here, where do you want to go?" Lu Ziyi's voice sounded again.
"My lord, didn't you say you went back?"
"Come here!"
As soon as the soup bowl approached Lu Ziyi, he stood up and leaned against her, and at the same time, a very strange smell wafted from him. The soup bowl was stunned for a moment before he reacted, this is the smell of blood.
"Your Excellency, are you hurt?" The soup bowl exclaimed, and suddenly didn't know where to put his two hands: "My lord, how are you?" You wait here, I'll call Lu Yun over. ”
The soup bowl wanted to continue to say something, but found that his shoulder was held down by Lu Ziyi: "You help me back." ”
Lu Ziyi's body leaned over, and the smell of blood became even more obvious. The soup bowl gritted his teeth, grabbed Lu Ziyi's arm and put it on her shoulder, and walked in the direction she was going back and forth step by step.
finally touched the door of the courtyard where they lived, and the strength of the soup bowl had reached its limit. She didn't know what she was tripping over, and as soon as she stumbled, her body involuntarily fell to the side. And Lu Ziyi, who was helped by her, also fell over. In the end, the two of them fell to one place in a ping-pong.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" The soup bowl called out softly in a hurry, only to find that his eyes were closed and he had already passed out, and one of her hands was propped up on the ground, and he felt a sticky one. Blood, it's all blood!
Lu Yun, who was in the house, had already heard the movement and ran out, pulling Lu Ziyi up from the ground and carrying it to himself.
"You, hurry up and boil the water, go outside to the creek to dispose of the blood stains on your body." Before Lu Yun carried Lu Ziyi in, he didn't forget to order the soup bowl.
"My lord, he'll be fine, right?" As soon as the soup bowl saw the blood stains on his hands, his head was dizzy for a while.
"You can only get out of here safely if the adults are okay!" Lu Yun glared at her.
"Can't I care? Anyway, I brought the adults back, you incompetent guard! The soup bowl muttered quietly.
Lu Yun's face was a little dark, and he was about to speak, but he found that Lu Ziyi, who was asleep, was holding the arm of the soup bowl again: "Don't run around." ”
"My lord, you can take care of yourself!" As soon as Tang Wan wanted to raise his arm, he found that Lu Ziyi's hand had already hung down.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
According to Lu Yun's description of the soup bowl later, Lu Ziyi was slashed from behind, and the knife edge was deep to the bone, fortunately he had a big life and was not cut through his heart, otherwise in that environment, he was likely to die of excessive blood loss.
The soup bowl rinsed all the blood on his body in the stream at the entrance of the courtyard, wrung the water, and put the half-wet clothes on his body. Then another trip came in to wash away the pool of blood in the yard.
I don't know why, she always felt that in this seemingly peaceful Zenlin Temple, there was a pair of invisible eyes staring at the courtyard where they lived. And this person hiding in the shadows should be the one who sneaked up on Lu Ziyi, right?
A national teacher who is deeply trusted and reused by the emperor can still be seriously injured like this in this royal temple, it seems that the water in this cloud city is very deep. Tang Wan looked up at the dark sky above, and once again secretly warned himself: You must calm down! Fifteen years have passed, and there is no hurry.
Chanlin Temple is located in the suburbs, although there are some standing medicines, but for an injury like Lu Ziyi, it still seems a little stretched. Moreover, he repeatedly told him that he could not disclose his injury to a third party, which made it even more difficult for Tang Wan and Lu Yun to invite someone to treat him.
In this way, the soup bowl was guarded in front of Lu Ziyi's room for three whole days, although she also knew that it was useless for her to do this, but she just wanted to do it. What is she trying to do?
Sometimes she also thinks, wouldn't it be a great pleasure for such a bad and moody person to die? What's more, because he was reused by Emperor Chen Yang, he acted perversely, and the arrogant and domineering Lu Ziyi offended countless people in the court. If they knew the news that Lu Ziyi was seriously injured, they would probably clap their hands and say that Qingben would go to sue, right?
However, she still wants Lu Ziyi to get through this danger safely. The soup bowl leaned against the door and thought: maybe, because of those buns; Or maybe it was because he didn't send her to the Thonda Mansion that time.
The soup bowl was thinking about it when she suddenly heard a creak at the door, and she was defenseless, fell off the threshold with a bang, and rolled into Lu Ziyi's room.
"My lord, how is he?" The soup bowl got up and patted the soil on his body and looked at Lu Yun.
Lu Yun shook his head: "I will wake up for a while and be unconscious for a while, I can't let the adults continue to stay here, I have to send him back to the house." ”
Tang Wan said: "But didn't the adults say that his injuries can't be known to others?" ”
Lu Yun glanced at her: "When is this?" Is it possible to let the adults consume here to make the injuries worse? You look after the adults here, and I'll go and catch the carriage up. ”
In order not to attract the attention of outsiders as much as possible, Lu Yun drove the carriage from the back mountain to the small courtyard where they lived.
The two of them carried Lu Ziyi, who was asleep again, into the carriage and placed it, Lu Yun jumped on the horizontal board in front of the carriage, and the soup bowl also sat next to him consciously, and was kicked by Lu Yun: "What are you doing sitting here?" Go in and help the adults! ”
"But the carriage that the adults are riding in can't be entered casually......" Before the soup bowl finished speaking, Lu Yun's fried chestnuts were hit on the top of his head: "Extraordinary measures are used in extraordinary times, don't worry, when the time comes, I will intercede for you in front of the adults, and let him punish you for a few days." ”
"What kind of master has what kind of subordinates, it's just too deceitful!" Holding his head, the soup bowl slowly crawled into the carriage.
The carriage looks unremarkable on the outside, but is very spacious and comfortable on the inside. But because Lu Ziyi was injured in his back, he could only lie face down. The soup bowl climbed in and consciously leaned against the wall of the carriage, and then put Lu Ziyi's head on his thigh.
She still looked at Lu Ziyi's face so closely, thinking that he would come up with various ways to "repair" her from time to time, the soup bowl unconsciously dodged back, and as a result, her head hit the wall of the carriage with a "bang", which made her grin in pain.
"This guy is unconscious now, at most he is a paper tiger that is only useless, soup bowl, soup bowl, when did you become so timid that you were afraid of paper tigers?" Tang Wan looked at Lu Ziyi, whose eyes were closed, and couldn't help but make a grimace at him.
"It turns out that I am a paper tiger...... Lu Ziyi's eyes slowly opened a slit.
"Ahh was hit on the spot by the "good deed" he had done, and the soup bowl in a hurry subconsciously pushed Lu Ziyi, and directly pushed his head to the short legs on the side.
After Lu Ziyi snorted, he stopped talking.
After a long time, the soup bowl saw that Lu Ziyi's face was still motionless against the side of the short legs, and couldn't help but worry, it couldn't be that she pushed him like this just now......
The soup bowl trembled and stretched out a finger and put it under Lu Ziyi's nose, and it took a long time to feel his faint but steady breathing. "Thank God, Bodhisattva bless." The soup bowl breathed a sigh of relief, carefully moved Lu Ziyi over, and then carefully avoided his injured back, protected him by his side, and finally leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes.
She didn't know anything, just when she closed her eyes to rest, Lu Ziyi, who was protected by her, opened her eyes again. The head was tilted sideways, just enough to obliquely see her face. Lu Ziyi kept this posture and looked at her for a while, didn't do anything, and then closed his eyes again.
Lu Yun drove the carriage all the way back to the National Teacher's Mansion calmly, and behind them, a rumor about the National Teacher, just like the silent and ubiquitous air, permeated the sky above Cloud City.
