Chapter 21: The Sick

Zhong Yun asked as he walked, trying to figure out where he was going to take him, but unfortunately the little beggar never answered, so Zhong Yun had to follow depressedly.

After a while, Zhong Yun was taken by the little beggar to the outside of a dilapidated temple, and when he looked left and right, he was surrounded by ruins and broken walls, and wild grasses were overgrown. None of them are intact.

Zhong Yun wanted to take a closer look at the surrounding situation, so he was pulled into a crooked body again and walked towards the ruined temple.

As soon as he entered the ruined temple, Zhong Yun saw a little boy who looked like he was about twelve or thirteen years old, lying in front of the desk with a weak breath, his face was pale, and he was obviously seriously ill.

At this moment, the little beggar also let go of Zhong Yun's hand in a timely manner, walked in front of the boy in small steps, gently stroked the boy's forehead, and carefully gathered the messy hair in front of the boy's forehead behind his ears with some distress.

Seeing that the young man's lips were a little dry, he thought about it, pulled out a small jar from behind the desk, slowly uncovered the red cloth that blocked the mouth of the altar, and then used a half-broken bowl to catch a small bowl of water.

Putting down the jar in his hand, his right hand slowly lifted the young man's head, and gently leaned the half bowl of water in his hand against the young man's lips.

Seeing that the young man drank the water, the little beggar also breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly lowered the young man's head, let him lie down, wiped the water droplets from the corner of the young man's mouth, and then turned his head to look at Zhong Yun.

Zhong Yun was looking at the little beggar's movements at this time, such careful movements, it was obvious that the young man lying on the ground was very important to him.

The little beggar looked at Zhong Yun and saw that he didn't react, so he got up and walked over to him, waving his right hand in front of his eyes one by one.

Zhong Yun blinked subconsciously, and then he came back to his senses, and couldn't help but look at the little beggar suspiciously.

I saw the little beggar bow his head, pinch the corners of his clothes with both hands, and said softly: "You are a good person, can you help me?, my brother is sick, I really have no choice." ”

The voice is crisp and good, it turns out that the little beggar in front of Zhong Yun is actually a girl, no wonder she hasn't spoken before, Zhong Yun has always been puzzled, thinking that she is a mute.

Hearing the little girl's words, Zhong Yun also knew why she brought herself here, it was actually to save her brother.

It's just that when he heard this "you are a good person", Zhong Yun always felt that this sentence sounded a little weird, but he didn't think much about it, he just wondered that he looked like a child, how could the little girl think of letting herself help, did she look so mature?

At this time, I didn't think much about it, so I had to look at the young man lying on the ground and ask, "How long has your brother been sick?"

When the little girl heard this, she also turned her head to look at her brother and said, "My brother has been sick for three days, and he has been like this, and he has not been able to get better, but sometimes he will wake up, can you help me save my brother?"

Hearing this, Zhong Yun couldn't help but step forward to take a look at the condition of the young man, since he was a child in Wudang Mountain for many years, when Zhong Yun was bored, in addition to reading some Taoist classics, sometimes he would also read some medical books, and he also knew a little about the basic pulse, and some minor illnesses could also be diagnosed.

He probed the boy's forehead with his hand, then grabbed his left hand and felt the boy's pulse.

After a while, Zhong Yun put down the young man's hand, his face was a little solemn, obviously the young man's condition was not very good.

Seeing that Zhong Yun's expression was wrong, the little girl was also a little worried, and she stared at Zhong Yun closely, and asked eagerly, "How is my brother?"

Zhong Yun remembered the young man's condition, shook his head and said, "The situation is not very good, his illness has dragged on for a long time, it should have been just a fever, but now it is difficult to say." ”

When the little girl heard this, her heart tightened, and she didn't care about anything else, so she walked over and grabbed the corner of Zhong Yun's clothes, and said crisply: "Please, you can help me and save my brother." ”

Zhong Yun was also a little moved when he saw the little girl's appearance, felt lucky for her brother, thought about it, and said, "I'll do my best, I just know a little bit of medical skills, and I can't say it well." ”

When the little girl heard this, she obviously regarded Zhong Yun as the last straw, and nodded fiercely.

Seeing this, Zhong Yun asked the little girl to wait for him here, and asked her to take back a few copper plates that she had given her earlier, saying that she was going to buy some medicinal materials that could reduce her brother's fever, but the little girl also believed him, and hurriedly handed over the few pennies that Zhong Yun gave her, and looked at Zhong Yun with a different kind of emotion in her eyes.

Zhong Yun took the copper coin, instructed the little girl a few words, and then walked out of the broken temple and walked towards the pharmacy.

Just as Zhong Yun was walking towards the pharmacy, a man and a woman who had paid attention to him and the little girl in the restaurant were discussing their affairs at this time.

I saw that the woman among the two looked a little puzzled and said, "Senior brother, why didn't you let me help that child just now? If another little boy hadn't come out in time to help just now, I'm afraid that child would have been killed." ”

The woman was dressed in a yellow dress, with a woman's hair in a bun on her head, her face was beautiful and lovely, quite a little jasper, although she was already dressed as a woman, her appearance looked a little playful, and her kindness could be heard between her words.

The man sitting next to the woman listened to her words and looked a little helpless, so he had to explain patiently: "Senior sister, that child steals people's things, he deserves to be punished, petty theft is not advisable after all, besides, isn't he fine, you don't have to worry too much." ”

The man's appearance is very elegant, with a short beard under his chin, a white face, a blue Confucian robe, and he sits upright, looking full of Confucian temperament.

There was a long sword on the wine table in front of the two of them, indicating the identity of the warrior, and it was obvious that he was also a person in the rivers and lakes.

When the woman heard this, she was still a little unhappy about her senior brother's approach, so she turned her head and ignored it.

When the man saw it, he had to shake his head, sighed, smiled helplessly, and continued to comfort: "Okay, okay, it's a big deal to finish eating in a while, I'll accompany you to see the child's situation, okay?" ”

When the woman heard this, she immediately turned her head, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she grinned at the man, while saying, "I know that senior brother will not look at that child." ”

When the man heard this, there was a look of helplessness on his face, and he smiled: "You, you, you know that you want me to say this to be satisfied." ”

When the woman heard her brother's words, she was not unhappy, and smiled happily: "Senior brother, don't you just like me like this?"

When the man heard this, he smiled, but he didn't object, moved his chopsticks, ate the dishes on the table, and said, "Okay, let's eat first, and we'll go and see the child's situation later." ”

When the two were eating, Zhong Yun also rushed to the pharmacy, asked if there were any medicinal materials he needed in the pharmacy, and then asked the price, and found that the money he was carrying was not enough for the price of a pair of medicines, and he was a little annoyed.

I thought about what I could do to solve it, but I just thought that I still knew someone in Fuzhou City, and I should be able to help me with this.

The person Zhong Yun thought of was none other than the owner of the ready-to-wear store when Old Man Liu first took him to Fuzhou City to buy clothes, because Zhong Yun often went to Fuzhou City to wander around during this time, and when he was fine, he often went to Boss Li's store to sit and chat with him, and the two became very familiar with each other.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yun hurriedly turned around and rushed to the direction of the ready-to-wear store, but he didn't dare to delay, for fear of any accident on the side of the broken temple.

Not long after, Zhong Yun came to the ready-to-wear store, as soon as he entered the door, the boss of the ready-to-wear store saw him, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, and said kindly: "Xiao Yun'er, I came to Fuzhou City to play again today, come and come, come and sit for a while." ”

Zhong Yun was a little anxious at this time, but he didn't have time to say more irrelevant words, so he hurriedly said: "Grandpa Li, I have something urgent now, so I won't sit down, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

Old man Li was a little puzzled when he heard this, he had never seen Zhong Yun in such a hurry on weekdays, so he also asked: "Oh, Xiao Yun'er, is there anything urgent, what do you need me to help with, you can say it." ”

Zhong Yun said that he wanted to borrow money to buy medicine, and when Old Man Li heard it, he naturally couldn't help but ask the reason, and said with some worry: "You want to buy medicine, isn't Old Liu Tou sick?"

Zhong Yun listened and knew that Old Man Li had some misunderstandings, so he had to explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

After listening to Zhong Yun's words, Old Man Li probably understood what happened, he was also a warm-hearted person, knowing that Zhong Yun was doing a good thing, and he also supported him, so he naturally didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly took out a few taels of silver and handed it to Zhong Yun, asking him to hurry up and buy medicine.

With enough money in his hand, Zhong Yun also hurried to the pharmacy, afraid that the medicine would not be enough, and bought an extra pair of medicines, and then remembered that there was no tool for boiling medicine in the broken temple, so he bought a medicine pot for boiling medicine.

Halfway through, he saw that there was food on the road, and then bought some food for the little girl, so he hurried to the broken temple.

When Zhong Yun rushed back to the broken temple, he happened to pass by the restaurant where the man and the woman were located, and happened to be seen by the woman, which naturally attracted the attention of the woman again.

The woman in the yellow dress saw Zhong Yun hurriedly walking under the restaurant, and she had some doubts in her heart, so she couldn't help but look at the man beside her, and asked softly: "Senior brother, look, isn't this the boy who saved the little beggar just now?" ”

When the man heard this, he also subconsciously looked downstairs, and happened to see Zhong Yun's figure in the distance, and immediately said: "Senior sister, aren't you going to see the situation of that child?

When the woman heard this, she thought about it, and it was true, so she agreed with her senior brother's idea.

Then, the two paid for the meal, picked up their things and followed in the direction where Zhong Yun left.
