The attack of the bandits directly caused the death of two family members, two serious injuries, and several people with varying degrees of minor injuries, which is not a problem on the side of the road.

Fortunately, Zhang Tou was familiar with this road and knew that there was a temple outside the forest in front of him, which could be used for a short rest.

Xu Guan arranged for someone to pull the two deceased family members back to Shuyang Yizhuang in advance, and find a time to bury them.

The rest of the group was hugged and supported, and after a while, they arrived at the temple in front.

This is a medium-sized temple, located in Hailing Town, thirty miles west of Shuyang, because there is an autumn snow lake on the side, so it is named Qiuxue Temple.

The scale of Qiuxue Temple is not large, it is also three before and after, and there is a courtyard before entering the main hall of the gate, which is similar to other temples, and it is also dedicated to the Buddha and several Bodhisattvas.

Arrived at the gate of the temple, Zhang Tou went in to find someone, depending on the situation, Zhang Tou was more familiar with the monks in the temple, he didn't go in for long, four or five little monks came out of the temple, guiding everyone from the side door into the side room in the courtyard.

Everyone brought medicine with them, and the temple was also prepared, so the injured people were placed and dealt with after a while, and they were all allowed to rest well.

It's just that Miss Xu and the two maids are not easy to arrange, fortunately there is a pilgrim's residence, and now there is no one. Miss Xu didn't care, she really didn't care about this, so she thought she could go back to Yangzhou as soon as possible.

Yuan Rui saw that everyone was busy, and he couldn't intervene at all, so he simply walked out of the room alone and slowly wandered along the corridor.

He may not care about other places, but he is interested in history and culture, and he really likes this environment, which is very peaceful, and occasionally he can hear the faint sound of chanting.

Yuan Rui walked past the Buddha statue in the main hall, carefully examined, similar to the later generations, Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat, to say that there is a difference, that is, the Buddha statue in front of him is more vivid, not as illusory as the later generations, are all drawn.

After walking through the two courtyards, Yuan Rui saw a small door, and couldn't hide his curiosity, so he pushed the door directly and walked in.

In fact, what he hates the most is that in some places in the later generations, there is something hanging on a small door, the staff is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

This is a completely different environment from the previous two entrances, a small grass house stands alone on the edge of a vegetable patch. The vegetable field is the same as my own home, and there are a lot of fruits and vegetables grown.

Suddenly, Yuan Rui became interested, he hadn't eaten fresh melons and fruits for a long time, and his mouth was a little greedy.

He walked slowly, while carefully touching, now is the season, the cucumbers have grown only a handful, the green radish has been unearthed, he finally found a fairly big one, and pulled it out directly.

After looking at it, there was only a water tank at the door of the grass house, so he thought that he would go later, so he took the radish and continued to look for it.

Suddenly, he was stunned, there were many small finger-sized fruits hanging on the green branches and leaves of several two-foot-tall green plants, they were tomatoes, how could there be tomatoes!?

Yuan Rui was so surprised, shouldn't it be at this time, didn't he say that it would be too late to come in, where did this come from?

Yuan Rui was immersed in his consciousness and didn't notice that an old monk appeared next to him at some point.

"Donor, do you recognize this?" The old monk looked at Yuan Rui, who had been silent for a long time, and still asked.

Yuan Rui came back to his senses suddenly, and then he realized that there was someone next to him, and he quickly thought about standing up, but it was a little fierce, his eyes were dark, and his body was staggering, and it was not the old monk who grabbed it, and fell down directly.

"Teacher, teacher, master, I, I, that's it, just looking at this thing, thing, curious, yes, curious."

Yuan Rui was incoherent in an instant, and he didn't know how to say it.

Only then did Yuan Rui see clearly that the old monk in front of him had a thin face, a white beard, very short, a short coat, relatively clean, and a small pickaxe in his hand.

"Donor, don't worry, come on, come and sit over there, I'll fetch you water."

The old monk understands very well the situations that people suddenly react to, and he also knows how to calm people down.

There was really a wooden table by the door of the grass house, and the old monk took two stools and tea from the house.

Watching Yuan Rui wash his hands and pour another glass of water, the old monk looked at Yuan Rui with a slight smile on his face.

"Master, the kid is okay, it's rude to disturb and pull out the vegetables you planted," Yuan Rui calmed down and quickly stood up and saluted the old monk.

"It's okay, it's okay, these things are planted for people to eat, nothing, sit down, sit down and say."

Yuan Rui sat down at this time, and quickly told him in detail about his origins, and also said about the mountain bandits he encountered on the road, chattering a lot, and finally expressed his gratitude.

"Xiao Xianggong is a scholar who went to Yangzhou to catch the exam, and it is also fate to be able to come to the old monk this time, so there is no need to be polite."

The old monk smiled indifferently, "Since the little minister is thinking about the imperial examination, he should have plans to become an official, I don't know what the little minister has plans for the future?" ”

"Actually, don't hide it from the master, I really don't have this idea."

"I came to the imperial examination is also the expectation of my family, originally according to my own ideas, it is good to be a rich man in the countryside, and trying to make the life of the people in my hometown better is not also a kind of life!"

"Oh, your idea is already very good, and it is a great thing to make the lives of the people in your hometown better!"

"Many people keep their eyes on the distance, but they ignore the fact that you can achieve things around you."

"It's not worthy of the master's praise, the world is big, there are too many places that can't be seen, the power of one person is too small, I will do what I can do first, this is my idea."

"Coming, since it is fate, the donor doesn't have to care about this, the monk is not homeless, the monk is actually to better take care of the family, cut off the mortal dust, just deceive himself."

The old monk looked at Yuan Rui, raised a single palm, and gently waved it from the front of Yuan Rui's face.

"Today, the old monk is very happy, so I won't say much, wait a minute."

After speaking, Lao He went up into the grass house, and after a while, he took out a Buddhist bead and handed it to Yuan Rui.

"Master, how can this make such a valuable thing that I can't accept," Yuan Rui quickly stood up and excused himself.

"Xiao Xianggong doesn't know that the Buddha gave a destined person, since he is destined with my Buddha, he can rest assured to accept it."

"Since it is fate, we will meet again, if you see anything suitable for the old monk outside, the next time we meet, you can also bring a gift to the old monk."

Yuan Rui looked at the string of Buddhist beads that the old monk had been coiling for for an unknown period of time, and solemnly took the Buddhist beads with both hands.

Yuan Rui saluted again, just got up straight, a monk pushed the door in, came to the grass house, saw the old monk, and saluted with both hands.

"Master, the abbot invited you to the front yard, there is an incurable disease, and he is a little unsure."

Miss Xu of the Guogong Mansion was depressed, she was restless and in a trance for the past two days, and while remembering her mother, she was still thinking about the hexagram of the old Taoist priest of Xiaogushan.

Shanshui, Menggua, Heng, I beg Tong Meng, Tong Meng beg me. The first accusation, repeated blasphemy, blasphemy, blasphemy, Lizhen.

In fact, the old Taoist priest also told her, judging from the hexagrams, don't be too anxious, you have someone to help.

But she was anxious, thinking about whether she could rush back quickly, no matter what, she must be by her mother's side.

However, if you can't reach it quickly, you will really be bumped into by yourself, and you will encounter mountain bandits, and you will be killed or injured a few people, and now you are still delayed.

She was also busy with the maid, although Steward Xu kept blocking her, but she still did what she could, if she wasn't in a hurry, those family members wouldn't have died.

Later, she saw that the abbot of the temple was alarmed, and she also went to the front yard to help rescue several seriously injured people, and wanted to stay on the side to help. It was not until all the wounded were placed that they went to rest in the place arranged by the temple.

The abbot didn't know that it was Miss Guogong standing next to him until he was done, and he was very surprised, he could ignore the blood and dirt, this kindness was very rare, especially if he was so calm, he was even more extraordinary.

After the abbot changed his clothes, he invited the second son and the young lady to the Zen room for tea. Originally, he was going to call Yuan Rui together, but he was not in the room.

After a few people chatted, the abbot looked at Miss Xu's haggard face, and only when he asked did he know that the Duchess was seriously ill.

In line with the holy intention of saving people's lives and creating a seventh-level Buddha, coupled with the kindness of Miss Guogong, the abbot became compassionate and inquired in detail.

For medicine, the abbot has a deep attainment, whether it is trauma or incurable diseases, he knows a little bit, but when the young lady finished speaking, the abbot also frowned, not very easy to grasp!

Looking at the look of hope on the young lady's face, the abbot was still soft-hearted, so he asked the little monk to call the ancestor to come over, there were too many people, and it was really inconvenient to go to the backyard.

The old monk didn't ask too much, got up and motioned for the little monk to go first, then said hello to Yuan Rui, and walked to the front yard.

Yuan Rui was inconvenient to stay alone, so he followed the old monk to the front yard, and then he knew what was going on.

After listening to the brief introduction of Miss Xu and the abbot, the old monk was still thinking, but Yuan Rui understood as soon as he heard it.

In later life, it is neurasthenia, depression, fear of wind, fear of light, and headaches.

For such patients, the best way is to recuperate, go to an unknown quiet place, slowly recuperate, and after a few years, they can slowly recover.

Of course, it would be better if it was accompanied by some traditional Chinese medicine to calm the nerves and recuperate, and it would be faster.

Listening to the abbot and the old monk's little bit of analysis, a little bit of careful inquiry, and constant discussion, they also talked about which medicinal materials are more suitable.

Yuan Rui also initiated kindness, to say that it was really the subconscious guidance given to him by the old monk.

"Excuse me, Miss, whether Ling Tang has a headache when he hears the noise, or if he suddenly encounters a bright light and falls ill, or if he has symptoms when he hears the news that his family is not going well."

Yuan Rui still asked a little tactfully.

Several people present were stunned when they heard Yuan Rui's question, and the old monk glanced at Yuan Rui and suddenly smiled with relief.

"I'm old and don't have much energy, let's talk first, I'll go back and rest."

As he spoke, he walked to Yuan Rui's side, "Little Xianggong, there is fate when we meet, haha, Yuan is fate, female donor, you are a blessed person." ”

After speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he went out directly.
