Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sunset on the Mountain

"Whether she stole or not, whatever she attempted, wait for her to come down from the mountain!"

The old lady waved her hand, indicating that she did not want to hear their accusations.

"What? Old lady? This can't be done, who knows if this girl will run away again halfway, and the sunset mountain has now been banned by the lord's order,

No one who goes up the mountain is allowed to come down any further......" asked the third lady.

"I'll send her, I'll send her personally! As for her theft, if she returns, I will judge her myself.

If she can't make it down alive, she will be rewarded with a coffin! Walk! ”

"Coffin book? Can you really say ......"

Firecrackers pouted after hearing this, they were really old and hung the coffin every day.

"Mother...... Mother ......"

When the eldest lady saw that the old lady didn't eat them, she immediately panicked.

What kind of medicine did this girl give to the old lady to make her obey her.

"Get out of here, I see who dares to stop me?"

The old lady shook off Aunt Xin, who wanted to step forward to block her way, and almost pushed Aunt Xin to her heels.

"Yes..... It's ......"

Aunt Xin was so frightened that she stepped aside, and it was the first time she saw the old lady lose her temper so much.

However, Firecrackers felt that this was the second time, and the first time was when the old lady was holding a crutch to hit the second lady.......

"Get out of the way!" The old lady ordered: "I don't care if the Qi family is epidemic or poisoned, I must set off firecrackers to leave the house today, if the treatment is really delayed,

When I die, I will go to Hades, and I will see all those who stand in my way today! ”

"Don't dare...... How dare we......"

The third lady was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more, leaving only the eldest lady to stop talking.

"Let's go!" The old lady roared and dragged the firecracker's arm, and several people went out of the house.

"What a bunch of mallets! At this juncture, I still think about that little grudge! ”

The old lady looked like she hated iron but not steel.

"The old lady is angry, after all, the grievances between the eldest lady and the second lady are not a day or two."

"Alas! When I was young, I couldn't bear the anger of the moment, fighting back and forth, I don't live you, I'm old,

It's all fleeting, it's all karma! ”

The old lady patted her thigh and muttered.

"Yes, yes, yes! They are still young and not very savvy, so it is inevitable that there will be disputes......"

Firecrackers hurriedly hammered the old lady's legs.

This old lady is now her living bodhisattva, without her protection, the eldest lady would have eaten her a long time ago!

"Alas, you, you must be more careful when you go to the mountain, and now the saint has decreed that the mountain will be closed at sunset,

No one is allowed to go in or out, if you go up the mountain, you will never come down again, it is better to wait for the jade to come down later to get food,

You told them to bring the medicine, right? ”

The old lady persuaded bitterly.

"No need, the firecrackers know that the old lady feels sorry for me, my wife is really not an epidemic, and I will not be on the mountain for a few days.

She'll be healed! ”

"Okay, okay, I know you're stubborn, and you can't beat you! I naturally believe that you will not lie to me! Otherwise, I wouldn't have shown the two girls a look just now! ”

The old lady sighed: "I will ask someone to add more bedding and food for you to prepare." ”

"Thank you, old lady......"

"That Qi is my daughter-in-law of Hengfu, you are my favorite maid, not to mention that I eat fasting and chanting Buddha on weekdays, how can I not save myself when I die?"

"The old lady doesn't eat fasting and reciting Buddha, and she will never die without help, the old lady's kindness can't be hidden......"

"Just count that you will make me happy, and count that you are the most affectionate and righteous, and you can go so far to find an antidote for your master,

When you get back home safely, you're going to tell me a good story, I'm curious! ”

"Okay, well, I will definitely tell the old lady everything!"

The firecracker smiled and held the old lady's hand, and outside the carriage, the sunset mountain was getting closer and closer.

"Go, Sunset Mountain is quite high, the temple is built on the top of the mountain, and the medicinal food and food sent by the people in recent days have been taken back, so it can be seen that their current situation is not too difficult.

That's right! Girl, remember, be vigilant tonight......"

These were the last words the old lady said to her before she got out of the carriage.

"Why?"

Firecracker jumped out of the carriage and turned around and asked the old lady suspiciously.

The old lady did not reply, but waved her hand, and the curtain was lowered.

The maid who followed stepped forward and said a few words to the guard.

"This ...... There are no more people on this mountain! ”

The guards seemed to be a little embarrassed, knowing that there was a plague on the mountain, why did anyone rush to die?

"Don't worry about this, the person was brought by the old lady, and the old lady will naturally take care of everything."

"Okay..... Let people go up the mountain! ”

The guards commanded the guards standing in the row behind them.

Carrying a burden and holding a bottle containing Bian Grass, the firecracker hurried towards the mountain.

Obviously there was only less than half an hour to go, but she felt that every step was getting more and more difficult.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see the second lady on the mountain, and she couldn't find the pear blossom like jade, and she was even more afraid that what she saw was the second lady's dying appearance.

The terrain of this sunset mountain is not precipitous, but the mountain is far away, and it will take nearly an hour to come and go, and the food delivered to the foot of the mountain is already cold.

This is tossed again, and when I get to the top of the mountain, I am afraid that I will not get sick if I eat it.

Firecracker thought all the way, raised his head, and saw an abandoned temple not far away,

Hurriedly quickened his pace, and came to the temple gate, where a crumbling wooden door hung and the walls were mottled and patchy.

Outside the door, the weeds were overgrown and no one's knees were reached, only a gust of wind whistled by, rolling up a few fallen leaves and whispering quietly.

Firecrackers gently pushed open the wooden door that seemed to be about to collapse in the next moment, and hesitantly stepped into the temple courtyard.

"Pear blossom? Pear? ”

“......”

"Ruyu?"

“......”

The only thing that responded to her was her own bursts of echoes.

"Where have all the people gone?"

"Squeak?" While she was in the midst of all her doubts, she suddenly heard the side door in the backyard seem to be opened.

"Who is it?" A familiar voice asked.

"Ruyu?" Hearing the sound of firecrackers, he hurriedly ran over.

"Firecrackers?? You're back! You're finally back! ”

Ruyu saw the firecrackers, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Ruyu? Who is it? ”

Rika came to the door with a bowl, looking a little thinner, and when she saw someone coming, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"You...... You're back? She muttered.

"Hmm!" Firecracker nodded vigorously: "What about Madame?" ”

"Inside!"

Rika slowly leaned sideways to get out of the way.

"How's she doing?"

Firecrackers squeezed past the pear blossoms.

"Hold on to the ......."

Ruyu followed behind and replied: "If it hadn't been forcibly driven to the mountain by the eldest lady a few days ago, the situation would not have deteriorated so seriously!"

The night on the top of the mountain was very cold, and I and Pear Blossom finally found some wood to make a fire, but fortunately, an old lady helped at the bottom of the mountain and sent pots and pans.

It can also heat up those cold meals properly......

There are also a lot of insects here, and every night just to drive away the mosquitoes that crawl on the second lady's body, it takes a long time to drive away......"

"You guys, find something to make a fire and boil the antidote!"

"Did you really find an antidote?"

Rika asked in surprise as she stood in the doorway.

"Naturally, would I dare to go up the mountain? When I come back empty-handed, I'm afraid I'm going to be like you, boiling up a dry corpse on the mountain! ”

"Phew! Don't scare people! ”

Ruyu gently pushed her shoulder: "Originally, it was pitch black here at night, and we didn't even dare to come out of the house!" ”

"There is such a big statue of Bodhisattva in that hall, what are you afraid of?"

"We don't eat fasting and chanting Buddha like you and the old lady, of course we're afraid......"

Ruyu touched her arm, and when she said that just now, she suddenly felt cold.

"There seems to be a wolf ...... here at night"

"It's a wild dog, right?"

Firecracker took out the bottle of charge: "Where is the fire?" I'm going to boil! ”

"No need, just leave it to us!" Ruyu wanted to take the bottle.

"You don't know how to boil it, just keep it here!"

The firecracker pushed her away without a trace, and walked out of the hut, just glancing at the second lady on the bed,

She looked away, the skinny man was not a person, and his eyes were a little worse than thinking that it was a stack of firewood spread on the bed!

The purple blue on his face was just that, but even there were blood spots on his neck.

"If you don't come again, we'll all discuss finding a clean straw mat and roll the second lady up."

As soon as the firecrackers found dry firewood, Ruyu followed out.

"As long as there is a breath left, there will be salvation, but I brought back a big bottle of medicinal juice,

One day is not good for two days, two days is not good for ten days! When I was at the border, I also met a person who was poisoned.

I didn't even bother to separate the medicine from the bottle! ”

"It's been a hard trip, isn't it?" Ruyu squatted aside to help the firecrackers nod her head.

"Fortunately, at least the medicine was obtained, and I came back alive......"

Firecracker opened the bottle, weighed the dosage according to Tang Jue's instructions, and carefully dripped it into the iron kettle.

"After running so far for the sake of such a few grasses, I will be very relieved to know that you are back, and Madame will wake up."

"How long does Madame wake up every day?"

"Alas, I can be awake for an hour before going up the mountain, and now it is estimated that it is only two quarters of an hour, and it is always night. Every time I'm afraid she's going back......."

"It's okay, everything will be fine, the second lady's life is hard, and there is the blessing of all people, and even the antidote has someone to run errands,

Now all you need to do is let her detoxify and slowly recuperate. ”

"Can we still go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Ruyu asked suspiciously.

"Why not?"

"Now that many people know that the second lady has an epidemic, who dares to let us go down the mountain again?"

"They say a plague is a plague? The old lady believed what I said, and when the second lady was poisoned, we must try our best to go down the mountain.

Stay on this barren mountain, let alone her, after a long time, even we will be sick! ”

"Anyway, you're back, with you, we'll listen to you for everything!" Ruyu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she couldn't sleep at night these days, and she really didn't know what to do.

Although she and Pear Blossom resolutely followed their wife up the mountain that day, they really felt abandoned by the world and hid in despair of being struggling, and they also began to be afraid.

It's just that now after the firecrackers appear like a round of rising sun, her heart is a little more steady, no matter where she is, this girl can always come up with a way!
