Chapter 8 Giving Clothes
It was already dark, the rain was still falling, Qi Yuanshan was holding Huo Xiaofan and galloping anxiously, fortunately, it was dark night, if he performed light skills like this in the daytime, it would inevitably be a little shocking. He ran for a while and finally found that there seemed to be a building not far from the official road, and there was still some fire faintly, so he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and quickly ran towards that place again. When I got closer, I found that it was a temple that looked a little dilapidated, with a few horses tied to the entrance of the temple and a few carriages parked, presumably sheltered from the rain. He didn't care so much about hugging Huo Xiaofan and wanted to go inside, but at this time, several big men came out of the temple and blocked the door, one of the big men was burly, with a full beard and staring at the bull's eyes, and shouted: "What kind of person?
Qi Yuanshan hugged Huo Xiaofan and couldn't give a salute, but he was still very polite and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are passers-by below, because they missed the accommodation, they saw that there are houses here to take shelter from the rain, so it is convenient for you." ”
This kind of thing is a very common thing for people who walk the rivers and lakes all the year round, and it is not easy for everyone to go out and generally do not refuse, but I didn't expect that these people don't seem to be very easy to talk today, and I saw the bearded bull's eyes glaring and saying: "I'm sorry, today this temple let us wrap up, you go to other places to see." ”
Qi Yuanshan frowned and said: "There are restaurants and brothels, the first time I heard that there is a night temple in this barren mountain, my child is in urgent need of a place to rest because of the wind and cold in the rain, and there is no other place nearby, why embarrass others when everyone goes out!"
"Hmph, if you don't let you in, get out of here, which angers you and makes you unable to eat and walk around. Another black-faced man next to the bearded man was even more rude, he not only had an unclean mouth but also pulled out the treasure knife on his waist, he wanted to pull out the guy to scare Qi Yuanshan, so he took advantage of the situation to cut people, then he knew that Qi Yuanshan was already annoyed, he was already very polite, according to his kung fu there was no need to talk nonsense with them at all, he saw that these people were so unreasonable and wanted to do it, so he was not polite, I saw that he was holding Huo Xiaofan's hands on his upper body and did not move, and his right foot was raised and kicked on the side of the knife accurately, just listening to the sound of the black-faced man, he felt that the tiger's mouth was hot, and the knife couldn't be held in an instant, and he only flew out。 At this time, everyone else was surprised, because they also knew the martial arts of this black-faced man, but as a result, they kicked him with a casual kick and kicked the blade away, how powerful this person can be. Among the four people, an old man was more cautious, and then he arched his hand and asked, "Your Excellency is so handsome in kung fu, dare to ask which sect is the master?"
"Qinglian White Lotus and Jianghu themselves are a family, why do you need to ask about your sect" Qi Yuanshan did not answer positively, of course, the implication is that these people are not even willing to share a broken temple, and they are not worthy of asking his sect. When he was at a stalemate, he suddenly heard an old woman's voice coming from inside: "Hu Da, what are you arguing about outside?"
"Mother Tang, it's okay. The bearded man answered, turned around and ran inside, and said a few words to a woman who had come out of it. After a while, he ran out again and said very kindly to Qi Yuanshan: "That man, our master is merciful today, let you in, and give you a side hall to live in." Don't be afraid of you, we're from Fengyun Castle. Have you heard of Fengyun Castle, hum, live with us, be honest, don't disturb our master's rest, or I'll drive you out again... As soon as he came back to speak, the black-faced man with the knife just now just wanted to refute, but was suddenly grabbed by the old man with one hand and didn't say anything more.
Qi Yuanshan didn't care about him chattering endlessly, and didn't care that the old man and the black-faced man looked at each other, so he hurriedly carried Huo Xiaofan into the temple. Although this temple is deserted, it is indeed very large, and the house is relatively well preserved, and they were arranged in the side hall to worship the Jizo Bodhisattva in the house, and several people who originally lived in it were moved to other houses to crowd in.
He didn't bring anything with him, so he took off his only coat and threw it on the ground, put Huo Xiaofan on it, and thought about finding something to light the fire.
At this time, the mother-in-law who spoke just now walked in, and saw that although she was no longer young, she was dressed very neatly and cleanly, and her hair was half black and half white, and she looked like she was from a large family. She strolled in softly, first bowed a little and then said: "This strong man, just now the family was reckless and offended, and our wife specially asked me to give you a no, ten million Haihan." ”
Qi Yuanshan saw the woman say this, and when he was embarrassed, he got up and saluted: "This lady, you are serious, and you are really disturbed in the middle of the night, it is really a last resort, but the child is sick and has no place to stay in the rain, so he took the liberty to break in, please bear with me." ”
"Where is the strong man, this temple has long been abandoned, and we are also passing by, but we came a little earlier, how can we monopolize it, may I ask what disease your company has?" the woman inquired.
"It should be a cold, and I have a fever" Qi Yuanshan has nothing to hide.
"Well, I'll take a look" The woman should be a warm-hearted person, but she didn't shy away from it, she came over and squatted down, touched Huo Xiaofan's head with her hand, and said, "My head is very hot," and touched her body again, but it was cold, and said: "It must be from the cold, I have to get some medicine to eat." ‘’
Qi Yuanshan also said a little anxiously: "But there is no place in front of the village and no store in the back, there is no pharmacy and medical hall, and there is nowhere to find a doctor to prescribe medicine."
The woman also saw that Qi Yuanshan was a little anxious, so she waved her hand and said: "Don't worry, we went out this time with a lot of medicine, I will go and ask for instructions to give you a few pairs of emergency responses, you can change the child's dry clothes first, you see that his clothes are soaked." ”
"Ah" Qi Yuanshan said with some embarrassment, we went out in a hurry without a change of clothes. I'll take it off for him and light it on the fire to dry it for a while. ”
The woman shook her head when she heard this, looked at Huo Xiaofan with some distress, and then said, "Alas, you men can only dance knives and guns, and children can't enjoy much happiness when they go out of the door." After speaking, she saw Huo Xiaofan's feet again, Huo Xiaofan was still wearing the cloth shoes he hunted in the morning when he went out, and at this time he had already been worn out, his feet were full of bubbles, and the blood shed after the bubbles were worn out, mixed together, miserable, and I don't know how he endured the pain along the way. The woman was not dirty, she took off Huo Xiaofan's so-called shoes and said to Qi Yuanshan with some reproach: "You are a father, it's really unreasonable, you don't even bring a change of clothes to the child when you go out, why do the child's feet grind like this and continue to hurry, didn't the child tell you?"
"Well, we didn't notice it when we were in a hurry, and he really didn't say anything. But madam, don't get me wrong, I'm not his father," Qi Yuanshan looked at Huo Xiaofan's feet, and was already ashamed in his heart, and as soon as this woman said this, his forehead couldn't help but sweat.
"Hmph, you too, even if you are not the father of this child, you must be his elder. Since his parents have explained the child to you, you have to do your best to take care of it, you are so so-so, confused, how can this child not get sick, one day you see the child's parents, how should you explain it" The woman has to be unforgiving to Qi Yuanshan to rob a good white, Qi Yuanshan has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, invincible, there are few opponents, I don't know how many winds and waves have been experienced, today an old woman said that her head was full of sweat, almost self-ashamed, and it was also a big girl who went to the sedan chair.
The woman didn't say anything anymore when she saw that Qi Yuanshan was full of shame, and then said, "You take off the child's wet clothes first, and I'll quickly find a few sets of clean clothes for him to change." Before she could finish speaking, she hurried away and went in the direction of the main hall. After a while, she not only brought a set of clothes, but also led two family members, one family member carried a large basin with hot water in the basin, and the other family member carried this small bowl with hot rice soup inside. She also commanded two family members to help Qi Yuanshan change into clean clothes for Huo Xiaofan, although this dress was much bigger, it was a subordinate costume, but it was much better than the soaking wet. Then they wiped Huo Xiaofan's feet with a cloth dipped in hot water, attached medicine, and poured him a pill with hot soup. Seeing that he had only a thin coat on the ground, he gave him another mattress and put it on the ground.
Seeing that this woman was so careful and so considerate, Qi Yuanshan couldn't help but be greatly moved in his heart, he bowed and said: "I, Qi, usually don't ask for help, today I have Mrs. Lao, and one day my nephew and I will definitely thank Mrs. well." ”
"Alas, if it is fate that everyone can meet tonight, don't call me Mrs., I am just our master's grandmother, our lady is resting in it, it is her intention to let you enter the temple and prepare these things. If you want to thank you, let's talk about it early tomorrow morning, tonight is inconvenient. Have a good rest, you must be tired, it is indeed more troublesome to bring a child out by yourself, what I just said may be a bit heavy, please don't care. After saying that, she also saluted, and then led people out.
Qi Yuanshan sent it to the door, and looked around the temple again, this is obviously a big family's trip, from the gate of the courtyard to the back of the family, the maids are all complete, although it is temporarily staying in this broken temple in the wilderness, it is also arranged to clean up in an orderly manner, not chaotic at all, but I don't know where such a big family is going. Just now, I seem to have heard the bearded man of the nursing house mention Fengyun Castle, he has heard of this Fengyun Castle, there is a number one in the rivers and lakes, and it is calculated that it is in Xiangnan City, which is not far away, and the owner of Fengyun Castle should be called Xu Jingyu, and the kung fu is really good, eighty percent of them went there to join their relatives.
