This huge spring rain gradually faded towards noon.

Yuan Xing hugged Hong Qingyao in his arms, propped up his body and leaned against the mountain wall with one hand, rested for a while, and then slowly gained some strength, moving his stiff and sore legs, he carried the little girl behind him, and no matter what the north and south were, he only flew away in one direction.

Perhaps the bad luck had really passed, and it was almost evening, and I finally saw a village.

Yuan Xing first inquired about the doctor, the village was remote, and there was no one who knew medical skills. It is known that this place is in the southwest of Lanzhou City, and the distance is not far. I didn't dare to delay at the moment, the little girl was still sick, asked the way, and ran towards Lanzhou overnight along the official road.

The distance was very fast, and it was not yet midnight when he arrived in Lanzhou, so he turned around half a circle in the periphery, found a corner where no one was around, and quietly climbed into the city wall.

Sneaking into the pharmacy all the way to hide his tracks, the doctor who had seen Hong Qingyao before was ready to sleep, and before he closed the door, he was frightened by an extra person in the hospital, thinking that he had encountered a thief who had robbed the house again.

"Doctor Chen, please help me see what's wrong with this child? If you stay asleep all the time, is your condition getting worse? Yuan Xing also knew that he was acting Meng Lang, but it was a matter of human life, and he couldn't care about anything else.

Hearing that he was seeking medical treatment, Dr. Chen, who was still trembling incessantly, immediately put his mind at ease and led the person to the room, before reaching out and starting to take the pulse.

While checking the pulse, he always felt that this child was familiar, and when he withdrew his hand, he looked at the face of Yuan Xing by the candlelight, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he scolded him for a while: "Why don't you come to get medicine these two days?" This child has become sicker, how do you take care of the child? Scolded here, suddenly snorted again, and aimed at the top of Yuanxing's head.

It turned out that because he was in a hurry, Yuan Xing didn't even wear a wig, and the shiny bald head was very conspicuous under the reflection of the candlelight.

Yuan Xingzheng bowed his head in remorse, didn't pay attention to the strange look at the doctor, and just said: "I acted carelessly, and it is really ......a sin to take her to run around outside when the child is sick."

Doctor Chen snorted and instructed the old wife next to him to boil some hot water, before he said to Yuan Xing: "The child will stay here and be taken care of by the old man, you can go." ”

"Uh......" Yuan Xing was stunned when he heard this, glanced at the sleeping little girl on the bed, and then said, "Doctor Chen, can I stay here too." As he spoke, he took out the silver from his bosom and handed it over. He really didn't dare to leave Hong Qingyao now, for fear of revealing his whereabouts again and really losing the child.

Dr. Chen stared at him for a long time before nodding and taking the silver.

After waiting for a while, the lady of the Chen family came in with a basin of hot water, and Dr. Chen asked her to wash the little girl's body, and led Yuan Xing out of the room.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Chen did not bring Yuanxing to the side room where guests generally live, but took the crutch into the backyard, don't look at Dr. Chen's pharmacy is just a small façade, if you don't enter the backyard, Yuanxing can't imagine that there is a hole inside, and even a pond that covers a lot of land.

Winding along the winding path around the pond with a lantern, Dr. Chen finally stopped at a corner, and a small courtyard hidden in the trees in front of him took shape in the hazy halo of lanterns.

"You can stay here." Dr. Chen pushed the door in, lit a candle, the structure inside is simple, the space is not large, all the furnishings are clear at a glance, only two beds, a desk and a few chairs without backrests.

"Thank you, Dr. Chen." Yuan Xing thanked him politely, put his backpack on the desk, and ran all the way, he was really tired.

At this time, Dr. Chen said: "When the condition is stable tomorrow, the old man will bring the child, and you will stay in the backyard honestly, don't go out of this yard if you have nothing to do, let alone go to the shop in front." ”

Yuan Xing didn't hear it right, and he wanted to ask again, but when he saw the other party pointing to the top of his head, he didn't speak again, and turned to leave.

Yuan Xing was stunned at his back for a long time, and then subconsciously touched his head, and then understood.

Lanzhou City is very prosperous, the ethnic composition of the residents is complex, and the living habits are also diverse. But after careful calculation, the Han people do not account for the majority, recently there are Jianghu people from the Central Plains into the city, what their purpose is, others may not know, but as a well-known doctor among the Han people, these news can never be concealed from him.

Yuan Xing couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, so, is this for the poor monk to hide?

The next day, Dr. Chen really carried Hong Qingyao to this small courtyard. At this time, Yuanxing had already changed the crumpled scribe's robe into a gray monk's robe, and when he saw the other party, he rushed to give a salute: "Poor monk Yuanxing, thank you Chen Shizhu for taking it in." ”

Dr. Chen gently put the little girl on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then turned around and waved his hand: "You're welcome, I just see that this child is pitiful, but it has nothing to do with you." "I still don't smile, but my face is not as gloomy as last night.

"The gentleman is benevolent, and the poor monk admires."

Listening to his praise, Dr. Chen raised his eyebrows, and his expression softened a little.

In this way, Yuan Xing took Hong Qingyao to live in seclusion in this remote courtyard.

Dr. Chen has only one daughter under his knees, and he married in Lincheng in his early years, and he rarely came back a few times. In such a large mansion, there are only three people, Dr. Chen and his wife and an old housekeeper, and now there are two more, although they are only in the corner during the day, but they are more or less lively.

Mrs. Chen likes Hong Qingyao's little girl very much, seeing that she can't speak, her motherhood is even more overflowing, and she will come to this small courtyard whenever she has time, whenever she has time, Yuan Xing can only sit alone by the pond, either meditating, or looking at the swimming fish in the pond in a daze.

Women have a natural advantage in taking care of children, at least it is more convenient to involve some privacy matters than the monk Yuanxing, Mrs. Chen is a careful and proper person, gradually, Hong Qingyao is better day by day, after five days, she can walk normally, and her complexion is a lot ruddy.

There is no task to press on the head, and there is no need to hide the identity to hurry, stay at home every day, either silently recite scriptures, or meditate and practice, these five days are actually the most comfortable time in this journey.

"It's time to go." Yuan Xing took a sip of fragrant tea, glanced at the little girl in the courtyard who was obviously more lively than ever before, and slowly spoke.

"These towns in the northwest are no longer safe, so why take the risk." Doctor Chen frowned when he heard this, and persuaded. Every evening, when the pharmacy closed, he followed him to this small courtyard. The lady teased the little girl, and he drank tea and chatted with Yuan Xing to pass the time.

At first, he just chatted casually, but he didn't expect Yuan Xing to look like a young monk, but no matter what topic he talked about, he could talk to him a few words, he naturally didn't know whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Yuan Xing was a frequent visitor to the Internet forum, and the miscellaneous things he saw and heard, how could an ancient man compare? Gradually, the two became year-old friends.

At this moment, I heard that Yuanxing was leaving, and I was reluctant, but I was more worried, these days, because there were people hiding in the house, I was particularly concerned about the news on the market, although I didn't know the exact destination of Yuanxing, but several towns in the northwest must not have run, and now there are people stationed in various towns to inspect, and even the government in some places have participated. At this time, there is a person with a child, which is really conspicuous.

Seeing that Yuan Xing only smiled and didn't answer, he persuaded again: "Can't you go?" If she returns south, it will be good for you and for her. ”

"When you are entrusted with loyalty, your promise comes from what you should keep." Yuan Xing shook his head and sighed: "What's more, the poor monk can't help himself and has to go." "People are clearly using him as bait to fish, and now that he is wearing a hook, how can he come and go at will? Of course, Yuan Xing doesn't mind poking the fisherman out of blood when he picks fish.

"I know that your monks do not lie and believe in cause and effect." Dr. Chen snorted: "Do you want to go even if you know that you are going to die?" Can you protect the little girl? ”

"Can be disguised." Yuan Xing smiled.

"How was it found before?" Doctor Chen glanced to the side before whispering, "No matter how disguised, this girl is always a child, and it is too obvious that she can't speak." ”

"The poor monk has a way." Yuan Xing smiled and turned to the little girl who was being pulled by Mrs. Chen to enjoy the fish, and added in his heart: "It may be a little damaging ......."
