Chapter 3 Ancestral Hall
After prescribing the medicine to Uncle Yuan, Liu Xunyin went back to the room to get a package and prepared to go down the mountain with him.
"Sister, where are you going? ”
"I'll go to town, you wait at home first. Liu Xunyin smiled and rubbed his brother's head.
"Let's go too, Taoyuan Town is fun. Yu Qinghe pulled Wen Ember and left.
It is spring, and the market in Taoyuan Town is very lively, with children playing and playing in the streets. There are craftsmen making halva, kites, and toys shouting on the side of the road. There are bamboo baskets on the bluestone slabs by the river, and there are various flower species in them, which are for flower lovers to take for themselves. Yu Qinghe greeted the villagers cheerfully along the way, and the three of them went straight to a medical center.
"Xunyin, Qinghe, why are you here. Shi Huaijin put down the medical book and stood up happily.
Wen Ember looked at him seriously, the man was about twenty years old, gentle as jade, thin and slender, and wearing white clothes. Xu is often not resting well, and his face is slightly tired.
"Huai Jin. This is the condition and prescription of the residents who often visit our clinic, and I have sorted it out, and you have been working hard these days. Liu Xunyin handed him the booklet.
"Where are you going?" Shi Huaijin took it and looked at Wen Shen behind Liu Xunyin: "Who is this son?"
"It's my brother-in-law. Yu Qinghe quipped.
"Don't talk nonsense. Liu Xunyin said softly: "This is the son of Wen Yan, the descendant of the master." We are planning to go to Yangzhou. ”
Shi Huaijin smiled and nodded to Wen Yan, and Wen Yan returned the salute.
"Xunyin, wait a minute. Shi Huaijin went back to the house and picked up some things. "Here are some dry food and common medicines. The road is long, you must take care of your health, if there is anything to me, send me a message. ”
"Brother Huaijin, why don't you care about me. Yu Qinghe took it and put his arm around Shi Huaijin's shoulder.
"Don't make a fuss. Shi Huaijin smiled: "Xunyin, come back early." ”
"Good. Liu Xunyin also smiled and nodded.
After pouring the tea, Shi Huaijin pulled the three of them to sit down and continued to advise on matters. Qing He was sleepy when he heard this, and dragged Wen Ember out to buy sugar and oil fruits. As soon as he turned around, Wen Ember was gone.
"Hey, where is Brother Wen? Yu Qinghe looked around.
Liu Xunyin said goodbye to Shi Huaijin, walked over, and thought: "If you want to come to a long way, he will go and buy some luggage." Let's go back to the infirmary first, he knows the way. ”
It was already time to arrive, Wen Yan had not come back yet, and Yu Qinghe was looking left and right in front of the door worriedly.
Liu Xunyin packed his luggage and said to him: "Your brother Wen's kung fu is much better than yours, don't worry." But you, who haven't slept yet, beware that you won't be able to get up tomorrow. ”
"Sister......" Yu Qinghe shook her hand, "I'll wait a little longer, just a while." ”
"If you can't get up, we won't take you to Yangzhou. She laughed. Yu Qinghe muttered and went back to the room to rest.
At the moment, there was a slight sound of the wooden door opening in the courtyard, and Liu Xunyin extinguished the reading lamp, wrapped the clothes draped over his shoulders tightly, and walked out of the door.
Wen Ember stood in the courtyard with his sword in his hand, and the moonlight was like water, which made him even more cold and handsome.
Liu Xunyin saw that he seemed to be preoccupied, and asked, "What is the matter with Gongzi Wen coming to Taoyuan Town?"
"Girl looking for sound. Wen Yan turned his head and smiled with low eyebrows: "I originally wanted to go to the Su Ancestral Hall......
"Going to worship the owner and his wife?"
"Hmm. Ember slid his throat. "It's just that I was young when I left, and there are so many changes here that I can't remember the way anymore. ”
"Jixue Hall has been uninhabited for more than ten years and has been demolished. The villagers thanked the owner and his wife for their grace in helping the world, and kept the Su ancestral hall. Liu Xunyin asked softly, "Do you want to go and see it?" But it is very dilapidated, and it has been uninhabited for a long time. ”
"Where does the girl know where it is?" asked Wen Ash.
"Hmm", Liu Xunyin nodded. "My sister is a disciple who has been expelled from the door, and I have always felt shameless to face my master, and when I collect medicine, I often look at it from a distance and don't speak. In the early years, I would secretly supply some incense, and then I gradually stopped going. Childe, come with me. ”
The two walked down the mountain for a long time, until they reached the depths of the trail, Liu Xunyin said in a low voice: "This is it." ”
Wen Ember looked up and saw that due to the age, the handwriting on the plaque of the Su ancestral hall was blurred and covered with dust. The courtyard is littered with fallen leaves and dilapidated. Liu Xunyin walked forward with the lamp, Wen Ember choked in his throat, and followed in.
Liu Xunyin lit the lantern, looked around, and began to tidy up and sweep the dust. The withered wooden seat was covered with dust, and Ember knelt down and bowed respectfully to the ancestral throne.
"Young Master Wen, do you think this mural is a little different from other places. After wiping the stone carvings on the wall, Liu Xunyin raised his hand and pressed it against the wall in confusion.
"Don't!" Wen Shen couldn't stop him, and Liu Xunyin fell down with a scream.
"Girl!" Wen Ember jumped down.
There was a thick layer of straw at the bottom of the secret room, and although Liu Xunyin fell heavily, fortunately he only scratched some flesh and skin, and his muscles and bones were fine.
Wen Ember helped her up, tore open the handkerchief and helped Liu Xunyin bandage the wound. Then go to the corner of the chamber and check how strong the wooden ladder and rope are.
Liu Xunyin saw that he was no stranger to this place, and said suspiciously: "Young Master Wen seems to know about this secret room. ”
"Back then, when the Qixue Hall was destroyed, my senior sister and I hid here. Ember smiled bitterly. He was only six years old.
"My senior mother is a great disciple of Qixue Hall, and I don't know such a hidden place. Wen Gongzi, you... It seems that it's not just an ordinary disciple of the Su Clan?" Liu Xunyin asked suspiciously.
"My senior sister is the daughter of the hall master couple, Su Mu. Wen Ember had a sad look on his face: "I am their adopted child. ”
"Childe's Day mourns. Liu Xunyin comfortingly pressed his hand: "It is rumored on the rivers and lakes that the Snow Hall was destroyed by the Cloud Lonely Gate, and the knife wound on the prince's chest was also caused by the Cloud Lonely Gate?"
"Sort of. Ember got up and secured the wooden ladder with a rope.
He had a new wound on his chest, and it couldn't have been written more than ten years ago. Liu Xunyin thought to himself, but seeing that he was silent, he didn't ask any more. The dungeon is damp, and the wooden ladder has been loose for too long to withstand the weight of one person. Wen Ember sighed, the rock wall was slippery, even if he did it lightly, it would be difficult to go up to such a height without a focus point.
The knife wound on his chest was faintly painful, and Liu Xunyin saw that Wen Yan's expression had changed, so he helped him sit down and pressed his Neiguan acupoint.
"Thank you. Ember felt calm, and the pain was relieved a lot.
"Childe, let's take a rest. Liu Xunyin said: "Wait for dawn to find a way." Qinghe woke up and didn't see us, and he would go down the mountain to look for it. ”
"You and Qinghe have a really good relationship. Wen Ember smiled indifferently and remembered her senior sister. Before entering the Cloud Silence Gate, the senior sister was also like Liu Xunyin treated Qinghe, and let him do everything.
"My mother is kind to me, but she always feels indebted to my mother. Liu Xunyin lowered his eyes: "So I taught Qinghe to protect my sister since I was a child." Although Qinghe is innocent and unruly, he always remembers the words of his master and respects me very much. ”
"Your mother, ...... she," Wen Ember asked hesitantly.
"An orphan girl adopted by my elderly fisherman, she spends her days adrift on the water. Later, the fisherman died of old age, and the boat happened to dock in Taoyuan Town. At that time, my mother was still young, and the townspeople saw her as pitiful, and raised her with hundreds of family meals. In order to repay the kindness, since the age of 14, my mother has been ferrying the villagers every day free of charge. ”
