056 Bitten by a snake
Shuangzhi usually has exercise, although yoga is not a strenuous exercise, but when they came to the Thousand Buddha Pagoda along the mountain road, they were already tired and panting, but their faces were ruddy after exercise.
"I'm tired, looking at this mountain is not high, why do you have to walk for most of the day?" Shuangzhi couldn't even speak, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained.
"Girl, drink some water." Rong Lan handed Shuangzhi a kettle, in fact, Shuangzhi was just recovered from illness and didn't sleep well last night, so he was easy to feel tired.
Shuangzhi took the kettle and drank all the water in one go, "Let's go, go to the Thousand Buddha Pagoda and have a look." ”
Because today is the chanting and blessing ceremony, there are very few pedestrians on the mountain, even there are few Zhaigu in the tower, only two little nuns are cleaning, and they are a little surprised to see Shuangzhi them, but they still greet politely.
In fact, there is nothing special about the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, that is, there are different forms of Buddha Guanyin on each floor, all of which have been brushed with gold leaf, and the light shines brightly, but whether there are so many thousand statues, Shuangzhi did not count, and when she and Rong Lan walked to the third floor, they were no longer interested in continuing to look.
"Rong Lan, you fill up the kettle, let's go for a walk elsewhere." Shuangzhi said to Rong Landao, she was suddenly interested in the Zhuangzi she saw yesterday and wanted to go over and have a look.
"Okay" Rong Lan went to the little ni in the tower to ask for hot water, and Shuangzhi went down the Thousand Buddha Pagoda first, and behind the tower, there was a mountain road that winded through a forest and led straight to the Zhuangzi she saw yesterday.
This mountain road is not wide, and it doesn't look like people often walk, which reminds Shuangzhi of the time when she used to go camping in the deep mountains and old forests with her classmates, the more she seemed secret, the more she wanted to explore, although her adventurous spirit was not so sufficient, but she still had curiosity.
Walking down the mountain road, she thought that Rong Lan should follow after a while.
The feeling of going up the mountain and going down the mountain is really different, she is not in a hurry to walk, slowly, while waiting for Rong Lan, while enjoying the scenery on the mountain, although it is now early winter, but most of the trees in this mountain are evergreen, and there is still a green everywhere, especially the small eucalyptus forest, which is really beautiful from a distance.
Unconsciously, she had already walked into the woods, and when she looked back, she still didn't see Rong Lan's figure, "This girl, her foot strength is worse than mine." ”
Shuangzhi exhaled, his forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat, and he found a place under the big tree, planning to sit down and rest, and wait for Rong Lan to come to her by the way.
Shi Tuo squinted at the woman who had her back to him and sat down under the tree in a daze, this was the third time he had met her, she really gave him a different surprise every time, she appeared alone in this deep mountain, do you want to say that she is brave or not afraid of death?
He raised his head and looked at the looming Thousand Buddha Pagoda through the layers of leaves, did she come to Nan'an, did she get lost here?
Suddenly, a murderous aura appeared in his eyes, his eyes looked behind her with a cold aura on his body, and he took a step forward and walked towards her step by step.
Shuangzhi seemed to sense the oppression in the air, and when he turned around, he raised his eyes to see his cold and solemn eyes.
Is it him again? Shuangzhi frowned, wondering how she had always met this man, but after seeing his terrifying and murderous expression, where could she think so much, and immediately stood up.
"What do you want to do?" This man only felt domineering when he looked at it before, but today he felt that he had a cold edge like a sharp sword out of the sheath.
Shi Tuo had already come to her in a blink of an eye, he pursed his lips, and his deep dark eyes stared at her for a moment.
Shuangzhi was startled and took a step back in fear.
Shi Tuo's face changed, and he reached out and immediately pulled her over.
Shuangzhi only felt a tingling pain in her calf, and the whole person was already in his arms, and in an instant, her snort was full of his breath.
She struggled a few times and screamed, "Bastard, let me go, indecent......"
Shi Tuo hugged her with one hand, and held a branch in the other, and the other end of the branch seemed to be pierced by a small brown snake.
"Shut up and don't move!" Shi Tuo didn't look at the little snake, but stared at the red blood stains on the skirt of his calves.
Shuangzhi was stunned for a moment, and then she felt that her calf hurt a little strangely, and she turned her head and almost fainted when she saw the little snake with a branch stuck in its head and did not move.
"That'...... That's a poisonous pit viper. Her voice trembled a little, and she secretly scolded herself for being too careless, although it was early winter at this time, the weather in the south was not too cold, and snakes would not hibernate above the temperature of fifteen.
Shi Tuo glanced at her pale face, although he was surprised that she could see what kind of snake it was, and he didn't ask anything, but helped her sit down again, and then took off her beaded shoes.
Shuangzhi's whole body was weak, the figure in front of him had gradually blurred, and his voice was also weak, "You...... What are you going to do? ”
In her blurred vision, she saw the man lower his head, a warm touch coming from his calves, and he ...... Actually helping her take drugs?
Shuangzhi opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
It wasn't until the blood from her wound stopped blackening that Shi Tuo stopped taking drugs, and he looked up and saw that she had fainted, and her little face was pale and bloodless.
He wiped the blood from his lips, shook his head and chuckled, he would actually take drugs for a woman? If his subordinates saw it, they would be so frightened that they would lose their eyes.
Despite this, he tore the strip of cloth from the hem of his clothes, helped her bandage the wound, and then bent down to pick her up.
This woman is petite! It seemed that with a slight effort, he could crush her.
He looked in the direction of Nan'an, raised his eyebrows, turned his feet, and walked back.
Before he left Pujing City to be a soldier, he often came here to hunt, here is a part of his childhood memories, today he originally planned to go to the Thousand Buddha Pagoda to see, but he didn't expect to meet this woman.
Back in Zhuangzi, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy immediately greeted him, "Master, you are back, hey, this girl is ......"
"Xiangxing, go find a doctor." Shi Tuo's face was expressionless, but his gaze kept falling on his pale little face.
Seeing her face like this, he actually felt awkward, she should have a ruddy face and smart eyes, not such a white and almost transparent fragile appearance.
Xiangxing glanced at the girl in Shi Tuo's arms in a daze, and couldn't help but wonder in his eyes, who is this girl, the master seems to be very nervous.
Shi Tuo raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you go soon?" ”
Xiangxing was shocked, didn't dare to take another look, and hurriedly ran to find a doctor.
Shi Tuo carried her into the house, gently placed her on the couch, examined her wounds, and fortunately, the bleeding had stopped.
Who is this woman? After he returned to Pujing City, people kept coming to the door with their own daughters to look for him or to ask his father for marriage, he thought she was one of those women who loved vanity, but she was not, he could see it.
She's not afraid of him! This surprised him, and although she was caught off guard every time she saw him, it was not a fear of him, but a defensiveness.
Many women wanted to get close to him, but they were all terrified of him, and this woman was the only one...... It surprised him.
When Xiangxing came in with the doctor, he saw that his master was looking at a girl in a daze, and he almost wanted to go to the ground to find his chin.
Is this his grandfather? He has been by his side for a few years, and he has never seen his father show a similar gentle expression, even this time with his grandfather's hometown, he has never seen his father show a soft smile to his younger siblings and even his parents.
"Master, the doctor is here." Fortunately, there is a pharmacy not far from Zhuangzi, so you don't have to go into the city to ask for a doctor, otherwise it will take a lot of time to go back and forth.
Shi Tuo came back to his senses, feeling inexplicably irritated that he was looking at a woman in a daze.
The doctor took Shuangzhi's pulse and prescribed a few medicines, because Shi Tuo had already sucked all the poisonous blood, so there was no danger to his life, as long as he boiled water with herbs, cleaned the wound again, bandaged it with herbs, drank a few pairs of medicines, and rested for a few days.
The doctor looked relatively young, Shi Tuo did not ask the doctor to bandage the wound for Shuangzhi, but asked him to leave the ointment and silk cloth for the snake wound, and sent the doctor away, asking Xiangxing to immediately take the prescription to the pharmacy to prescribe the medicine, and then boiled the herb water and presented it.
There were only two people living in this Zhuangzi, Shi Tuo and Xiangxing, because he didn't want to continue to stay in the Shi family to deal with those sycophants, and he didn't want to face Mrs. Shi's bitter face, so he asked the housekeeper to buy him this Zhuangzi, and only brought Xiangxing, who came with Jingzhao, to live here, and his ears were a lot quieter.
When Xiangxing boiled the herbal water to clean the wound, Shuangzhi hadn't woken up yet, and there was no maid ring in this Zhuangzi to call, Shi Tuo didn't want others to help her clean the wound, so he sent Xiangxing down.
Do you want to wash this girl's wounds in person? That...... Isn't that footwashing? Xiangxing's eyes widened and he looked at Shi Tuo in disbelief.
Shi Tuo glanced at him, "Anything else?" ”
Xiangxing hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, master, that'...... The medicine that is going to be given to this girl, should it be fried too? ”
Shi Tuo glanced at Shuangzhi, "Well, let's go." ”
