Chapter 8 Winter Clothes for Futu

Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, on the way back to Sanxiao, "I bought some steamed buns, and when I went back, I asked Xiaoer to cook a few dishes and eat the rock sugar hooves given by Master Nian, but I had a beautiful meal." San'er squinted his eyes, kept his saliva and sniffed the hooves hanging around his neck from time to time, and thought beautifully.

Ah Da smelled the aroma of the lotus leaves, and felt even more hungry in his stomach, so he quickened his pace and ran towards the broken temple, striving to go back early to eat.

Ran all the way to the broken temple and put down the second small, suddenly saw a person lying at the temple gate, the night was dim and could only be seen by the moonlight but not very clear, the third small hurriedly stepped forward.

I saw an old man with a white beard and a coarse linen coat lying on the ground, his eyes closed, and a bundle of firewood beside him.

Seeing this, Xiao Er squatted down and gently pushed the old man and called, "Old man, wake up." Old man..."

The boy called several times, but the old thread on the ground did not move, and he raised his hand to poke into his nostrils and felt that he was still breathing.

Xiao Er stood up and looked left and right, and said helplessly: "It looks like he should be a firewood man, I don't know why I fainted, let's carry it in first." ”

Ah Da didn't say a word after hearing this, grabbed the old man's belt, put it on his shoulder, and walked towards the hall. San'er picked up the fire fold and lit the oil lamp to take a closer look, the old man's beard and hair were all gray, his face was wrinkled, and his face was pale, if he didn't look at the slight ups and downs on his chest, he would have thought that the old man was dead.

Ah Da frowned and sighed after seeing it: "This old man can't stand it, how can he stand it when he falls to the ground at such an old age and is so cold at night." ”

Xiao Er looked at the old man on the bed, pondered for a moment, and said, "No matter what, since we have brought it back, let's save it." ”

Then he instructed: "San'er, you go outside and light a fire, put some rice in the pot, and boil some rice soup." ”

"Ah Da, you cover all our quilts for the old man. I'm going to make a brazier. ”

After a while, the three little ones did everything neatly, Xiao Er took a spoon and pried open the old man's teeth and fed some warm rice soup, folded the quilt and went to cook.

Today could have been a good meal, but when I thought about it, there was an old man in the hall who didn't know if he could survive tonight, and the three of them were tasteless while eating the delicious dishes in front of them.

In the middle of the night, Sanxiao picked up some autumn dry grass and covered his body with clothes and slept to pay for tonight, and looked at the old man before going to bed, only to see that a thin layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead, and his breathing was more powerful than when he had just seen it.

The three little ones all breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts: "This old man's life is really big, and he can be regarded as surviving." ”

The young men can kill the unscrupulous beggars like drinking water, or they can raise their hands to save the poor old man who collects firewood.

It seems to be a contradiction, but it is actually a contradiction.

But this world is full of contradictions.

At dawn the next day, Sanxiao got up early to look at the old man, only to see that his face was not as pale as the night before, and he already had some blood, but his body wrapped in a thick quilt kept shivering. Xiao Er raised his hand and touched the old man's forehead, it was very hot, frowned and thought for a moment and said to Ah Da and San'er: "It seems that my life has been saved, and I don't know how long I lay on the ground last night, I must have attracted a cold." ”

Ah Da thought for a moment and asked, "How many silver taels do we have left?"

Xiao Er smiled bitterly and said, "I just finished buying winter clothes for Aunt Cui and Qin'er, and I just wanted to keep it for us to buy a jacket." ”

Ah Da also smiled bitterly and said to San'er: "San'er, what do you say?"

The young man looked at the single clothes on his body, pouted with a sad little face, and said, "What can I do? Help, then you can still throw him out." ”

Xiao Er pulled the boy and pinched his young man's pursed lips and smiled: "Look, you can hang oil bottles." ”

Seeing this, Ah Da laughed and said, "Save it, it's just a piece of clothing." ”

Xiao Er patted the young man's head and said, "Didn't you survive without a padded jacket in previous years?" You will definitely be able to buy it this year, and the second brother will buy it for you first when the construction money starts next month." What's more, I heard the storyteller in the building say: 'Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter.' ', we are also accumulating virtue and doing good, just like the last time we saved Master Nian, won't we have good rewards?"

After hearing this, Peach Blossom nodded her eyes, and said with a childish but arrogant face: "It's okay, isn't it just a straw for a few days on your clothes?" ”

After thinking about it, he said weakly: "It's just a panic." ”

Leaving Ah Da and San'er to feed some rice soup to Lai, Xiao Er hurriedly took out a small cloth bag containing silver taels from a blue brick under the ground behind the temple, and opened a small silver ingot of five taels and two pieces of scattered silver. He took out the silver ingot and put it in his bosom, and put the rest back in the bag and put it back under the green brick.

The boy turned around and walked a few steps, sighed, opened the bricks, picked up the money bag, and ran towards the city.

On the land of Shenzhou, there will definitely be a pharmacy in Daozhou County, which is called: Sanweitang. This is the Yunwu Mountain Danzong opened, which brings together the world's good doctors, hanging pots to help the world, saving the dead and helping the wounded, but also to the Danzong ancestor Yao Wang created three kinds of pills famous in the world: smallpox pill, the second: cold and heat pill, the third: cholera pill. The pill should treat three diseases in the world, such as children suffering from smallpox, the rich and noble people can ask a famous doctor to give good medicine, if the treatment is timely and the number of cures is also in the five or five, the rich and noble families are still like this, and the poor family can only use some home remedies after resigning to fate. The two diseases of cold and heat and cholera are the diseases of the plague, such as a few months after the appearance of a certain place, there is a wailing everywhere, and filial piety is everywhere.

Since the King of Medicine developed this three-flavor pill a hundred years ago, thousands of three-flavor halls have been opened in the land of China, and each pill is sold to the people at the price of a copper plate. During the 100-year period, he saved thousands of people, gathered supreme merits, and graced the world.

After the death of Yaowang Xian, people from all over the country spontaneously donated to build Yaowang Temple, and worshiped every day to express gratitude. The incense in the temples around the country is prosperous, and the pilgrims are endless, but the pilgrims who come here to worship are different from other temple pilgrims who make wishes, and this is more of gratitude.

The boy came to the door of the Sanweitang shop, gasped for breath, calmed down for a while, and then walked in. It was still early, and there was no patient in the pharmacy who was looking for medicine, and the guy was sweeping the ground with a broom, and when he looked up, he saw a teenager coming in from outside the door and said, "Little brother is early, are you here to grab medicine or to see the disease?"

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Look at the disease, the old man in the family is cold, he feels cold, and he came to the doctor to prescribe medicine." ”

The guy hurriedly invited Xiaoer to the back hall doctor's office.

When the young man saw the doctor carefully describe the old man's illness, the doctor brushed his long beard, pondered for a moment, and wrote down a prescription: "Occasional wind and cold, it is not a big problem. One pair a day can be cured in three days, but it must be rested for a few days before going to the ground. Remember. ”

Xiao Er took the prescription and thanked him, and then went to the front hall to grab the medicine. The doctor chuckled and nodded as he looked at the young man's departing back.

The guy read the prescription, and handed the medicine to the young man and said, "Diagnosis gold, a total of twelve taels of medicine, little brother." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Er felt a pain in his flesh, took out the silver from his arms, and handed it over. The guy took the silver taels and did not forget to tell some decoctions, heat and other matters.

After returning to the temple, he asked Ah Da and San'er to go to work, and told Ah Da to go to Zuixian Lou to ask for a day off for himself, saying that he had a cold.

The young man squatted on the ground with a fan in his hand, and looked at the medicinal soup tumbling in the crockpot and couldn't help but think of the girl who didn't know where.

Among the four, Ji'er's body is the weakest, and she has to drink decoction several times a year. One winter, the girl lay in bed for more than three months, so thin that only bones remained, and when she was seriously ill, she couldn't even eat by herself. That winter, the boy didn't know how many times he made a vow, how many kowtows, and how many tears he shed in front of the statue.

Maybe the gods and Buddhas in the sky are also preaching some truths, both winter and spring. A spring rain poured down, the withered grass in the temple sprouted, the girl could finally go down to the ground and walk out of the temple gate, looking at the rainbow in the sky after the rain, the sun after the dark clouds, tears and smiled to Xiaoer: "Brother Ai, am I still good-looking?"

This winter, the boy listened to the girl's cough every day, looked at the increasingly thin face, and had to cry in no one's place, for the first time he was extremely resentful of this world, not very fateful, not complaining about the injustice of heaven and earth, only resenting this book for nothing, and taking away the only remaining dependence on each other.

It's okay, it's all gone, it's all gone.

The young man solemnly knelt in front of the statue of the Dragon King and kowtowed three times, wiped his tears, narrowed his smiling eyes and said, "My sister-in-law is the best-looking." ”

When the girl heard this, she smiled like a flower, and she was charming.

Suddenly, a burning smell came into the young man's nose and pulled back from the memory, it turned out that the fan was too close to the fire and was ignited, and he hurriedly threw it away and stepped on it. looked at the medicinal soup in the crockpot and boiled it into a bowl, so he hurriedly poured it out.

Xiao Er took a spoon to pick open the old man's teeth, fed little by little, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of the cold and windy weather in a few days. But then he looked at the old man who was taking the medicine and thought: "At most, I will freeze him for a month, and I will start working next month to buy it. Thinking about it, the young man's heart suddenly brightened.

On this day, there is a young man in the Dragon King Temple who changes his winter clothes into a floating temple.
