Xu Chen looked at the dripping wine, looked at her weak face, her body and mind were occupied by fear, she was a little scared, she lowered her head in pain, and hugged her tighter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The maid hadn't been sick for a long time, more precisely, since she left Yong'an and came to the capital, she had never been sick again, but today she was so sick that it was more terrible than every illness in Xu Chen's memory, so he was very frightened, and made a decision as soon as possible, instead of carrying her to the hospital, he carried her to board the carriage and ran towards the Dushan Sect in the south of the city.
There are no doctors in the Dushan Sect, but there are teachers and brothers in the Dushan Sect, Xu Chen believes that as long as the maid is still breathing when she arrives in the Dushan Sect, then she will be fine.
Facts have proved that Xu Chen's judgment is correct.
He ran into the clouds with the maid in his arms, came to the cliff flat behind the mountain of the Shan Sect, and shouted at the lake, the senior brothers and sisters who were still asleep suddenly woke up, and they were discharged from the hospital to greet them, and the senior sister who walked in front was the senior sister, who was embroidering a butterfly cat before going to bed, and fell asleep in the middle of the night, at this time there was an embroidery needle in the bun, and the face was still tired and annoyed by being woken up.
When she saw Xu Chen's frightened expression and the maid in his arms, she immediately understood what was happening, and the tiredness and anger on her face suddenly turned solemn. She didn't ask Xu Chen questions, just looked at the maid's pale face, then took out the embroidery needle from between the buns and stabbed her four times in the neck like lightning.
The needle fell into the wind, and the maid hummed softly, still frowning and not waking up, but the pale color on her face faded a little, and the original faint black reappeared.
"Senior sister...... How?"
Xu Chen looked at his senior sister and asked in a trembling voice, he didn't know that his senior sister could use needles to heal people in addition to formation embroidery, but looking at the changes in the maid, he suddenly had a lot more expectations.
"The chill is attacking my heart, and there is some danger, so I can only suppress it with a needle first. Senior sister said.
Xu Chen's arrival woke everyone up on the shore of the mountain lake behind the Dushan Sect, and the senior brother also appeared in the distance, but his movements were still so slow, as if nothing could make him feel anxious and anxious.
Senior Sister looked at Senior Brother, didn't know what to think, her expression became a lot more relaxed, and shouted: "Senior Brother, bring the old eleven over from the mountain, but you have to hurry." ”
The senior brother was stunned, turned around and walked back to the mountain forest behind him.
The senior sister looked at Xu Chen's anxious expression, and said comfortingly: "It's not a big problem, you take the maid to the grass house first, the teacher is there, there will be no accident, just wait for the eleventh to come over." ”
Xu Chen didn't understand the meaning of Senior Sister's words, if the teacher was willing to make a move, the maid would naturally not have an accident, but why wait for the fourth senior brother?
The morning light gradually came, enveloping the back mountain of the Dushan Sect, falling on the golden grass silk on the eaves of the grass house, and then reflected to the distant mountain forest, a bright meadow surrounded by flowers and trees.
Xu Chen, Pan An and the others stood outside the grass house, waiting for news inside. Since last spring, the maid has begun to often go in and out of the back mountain of the Dushan Sect, and has been loved and pitied by everyone with the good food and quiet temperament she cooks, at this time, knowing that she is extremely ill, the disciples of the Duishan Sect can't help but be very worried, Ye Yao has even turned red in the eyes, but Xu Chen is much calmer than before.
Because the teacher had woken up and was in the grass at this time, he believed that even if the maid had already stepped into the underworld, the teacher would have the ability to pull her back.
At this time, Wang Shi walked out of the grass house, Xu Chen hurriedly stepped forward, Wang Shi looked at him and said: "She is congenitally deficient, and the cold has been in her intestines for many years...... I checked her pulse and confirmed that she had suffered a great cold some time ago, and she had recently been overwhelmed with thoughts, which has brought her to this point. ”
Xu Chen asked, "It's going to be fine, right?"
Wang Shi said: "Senior sister Jin Needle pressure pulse is very timely, I decocted a side medicine for her, it should be able to relieve the chill a little, there is nothing to do, but in the future, you should pay attention to keeping warm, but you don't dare to suffer any wind cold." ”
Hearing this, Xu Chen suddenly relaxed, and suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak.
Wang Shi suddenly thought of something, looked at him and asked suspiciously: "Little junior brother, the maid's illness was brought from her mother's womb, and she has been sick many times in the past few years, there are no good doctors in Yong'an, and there are a group of quacks in the capital, how did you rely on her to let her live until now?"
When the maid was young, Xu Chen often took her to see a doctor, and the silver taels that she had worked hard to save were basically spent in the pharmacy, but it was useless, and then occasionally he found a way to let the maid survive to this day, at this time, listening to the senior brother's questioning, he didn't dare to have anything to hide, and replied honestly: "Later, every time the maid was sick, I always let her drink a big bag of spirits." ”
The second senior brother had been standing silently outside the cottage, without any expression on his face, and at this time, hearing that Xu Chen had been using spirits to treat the maid all these years, he suddenly frowned, looking extremely displeased.
Wang Shi pondered for a moment and then nodded and said, "This is indeed a symptomatic method, although the warm pulse of the liquor can only temporarily cure the symptoms, but it is much cleaner than those rotten medicines." ”
Fortunately, there is such an evaluation, otherwise the second senior brother would definitely not spare Xu Chen.
Watching Wang Shi's figure disappear into the flowers and trees, Xu Chen only learned today that this fourth senior brother who loved to speak to turned out to be a holy hand of medicine and Taoism, thinking of the petal-full idiot he saw when he entered the back mountain at the beginning of the year, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said, "Fourth senior brother...... Is it reliable?"
The senior sister said: "The spirit of the fourth child in this life is on flowers and plants, he can know all the flowers and plants in the world, can argue the use of all flowers and plants in the world, and is proficient in all the techniques of herbs. ”
Hearing this, Xu Chen was finally relieved, but he was not completely relieved, because in his opinion, the most reliable person in the world is, of course, the teacher, and he has to listen to what the teacher has to say.
The grass house is ventilated on all sides, there are only a few screens, resting on the platform horizontally and vertically, and there is a big couch inside, which is the residence of Xuanwei, and the maid is lying there at this time.
The maid woke up for a while, and then fell asleep again under the effect of the medicine, Ye Yao put the medicine bowl aside, wet the towel with boiling water, wrung it until it was semi-wet, and then carefully put it on her still cold forehead, and then took her little hand and whispered something.
Looking at this scene through the screen, Xu Chen felt so grateful, and then he looked back at Xuan Wei and asked worriedly, "Teacher, do you see...... Is there anything going on?"
Xuanwei got up much earlier than usual today, so he was in a bad mood, but he thought that Xu Chen must be in a worse mood at this time, so he endured it and didn't reprimand him.
He took a bowl of lotus seed porridge and blewed, "What can I do? ”
It seems to be very irresponsible words, but it makes Xu Chen really feel at ease, because since Xuanwei said that it is okay, then the maid must be fine, but ...... Does sun basking help?
He walked up to Xuanwei, took the bowl of lotus seed porridge, stirred it carefully with a spoon, and asked with unprecedented respect: "Teacher, the body of the maid is ...... Didn't you say you were okay last time?"
Xuan Wei said: "She was born with a cold deficiency, and she has not been treated seriously over the years, and she doesn't know how much cold breath has accumulated in her visceral bone marrow, but fortunately, she worshipped Wei Guangming as a teacher by chance, and she can pick up the heavenly divine radiance, and naturally she can suppress those cold breaths, as long as the time is longer, the divine radiance in her body can turn those cold breaths into nothingness, I said to you that day that it was okay, then it was okay, you are questioning me?"
Xu Chen confirmed that the lotus seed porridge was cold, handed it over respectfully, and said humbly: "The teacher's words are slapping me in the face, and the disciple just doesn't understand what is going on." ”
Xuanwei looked at him and said mockingly: "What's the matter, I have to ask yourself, I was originally a sick little girl, but I was taken by you, a ruthless and unrighteous master, to fight with Ximen Wang...... In order to help you, she shined on the cliff that night, and all the divine brilliance was exhausted in an instant, and the cold breath in her body was suppressed for many days, and she suddenly regained her freedom, so she naturally wanted to find an opportunity to rebel, and I don't know how you bullied her recently, so that this little girl's rare mind was lost, and there is now danger. ”
Xu Chen was silent, thinking that it was all her own fault, but it was just something that made her lose her mind because of her quiet and even a little wooden...... Is it engagement?
"Teacher, since it is congenital deficiency and cold, how can you get to the root of the disease?"
Xuanwei took a sip of lotus seed porridge, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "As I said before, the cure is very simple, bask in the sun more, practice the magic diligently, and when the magic is completed, the little girl's illness will be cured naturally." ”
Xu Chen thought that he was about to travel far away, and asked tentatively: "It's a long way to go to the Rotten Ke Temple, she is weak now, and the disciple ...... Can you not go?"
Xuan Wei was furious and reprimanded: "Which family are you the son-in-law? Without the service of the little maid, you can't walk? Even if she wants to recuperate, you can go by yourself, and besides, Buddhism also has its own set of skills, and the medical skills of the little monk in the Rotten Ke Temple are admired by the teacher, and you don't see it yourself." ”
Xu Chen said helplessly: "Just go, why do you have such a big temper, teacher?"
The conversation between Xuan Wei and Xu Chen had already made the disciples in the grass house want to laugh, and after listening to Xu Chen's last words, people couldn't hold back their laughter after all.
The elder brother didn't smile, he looked at the maid on the couch, his face full of worry and pity.
There was Xu Chen's dormitory in the mountains behind the Shan Sect, and the maid was seriously ill, so he naturally stayed, and it didn't take long for the maid to wake up, although she was still a little weak, but at least it was not as scary as it was at night, and gradually stabilized. Xu Chen told jokes like when he was a child, humming a little song, coaxing her to rest, Ye Yao saw that he was really hard, so he took over and began to take care of him, letting him go outside to rest for a while.
At that time, it was almost dusk, and the red and warm sunset shrouded the back mountain, Xu Chen walked out of the small courtyard, and saw Pan An standing by the lake with his hands on his waist imitating loneliness, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Pan An looked at the aquatic plants in the mirror lake and the countless thousands of gold coins on the water, his round and very cute face was full of loneliness, and said: "Seeing that you and the maid have such a good relationship, I feel a little. ”
Xu Chen's heart moved slightly, secretly thinking that he and Ye Yao were having some kind of conflict again, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Senior brother, you don't have to compare with me for this kind of thing." ”
Pan An Zhengse explained: "Xiao Yao and I are not what you think. ”
Xu Chen thought to himself that he could say such a meaty title, what else was there to explain? He couldn't help but mock and said, "Don't you think that a man's refusal to admit is the most disgusting thing in the world?"
Pan An turned his head to look at him and said sincerely: "We are just holding hands." ”
Xu Chen said mockingly: "She's just a little girl, do you want to do anything to her?"
Pan An was slightly annoyed and said, "She is about the same age as the maid!"
Xu Chen was a little embarrassed and silent.
The mud on the shore of the lake looked like golden crumbles in the setting sun, Pan An lowered his head, turned his heel slightly, and the soles of his shoes crushed a few gold seals. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Xiao Yao and I are not like you and the maid, we have no experience of living and dying together, and we don't have time to get along with each other, but we have a good relationship, I feel distressed when I see her jumping ...... waterfall, and I am happy to take her to the capital."
Xu Chen didn't want to be an emotional expert, so he asked directly: "What do you want to say?" ”
Pan An raised his head, looked at him and said seriously: "The maid is seriously ill today, you are very scared, right?"
Xu Chen thought for a while and said, "Yes, I can't imagine my life without her. ”
Pan An said: "Me too, I can't imagine the future without Xiao Yao by my side, so I decided to go back to Taiqingguan." ”
Xu Chen didn't know what to say, so he vaguely guessed this guy's life experience, but it was only confirmed today, according to the previous context, if he wants to return to Taiqingguan, he must be going to have a showdown on Ye Yao.
Pan An said: "There is a saying among the people that an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws...... My mother has long since died, my father is still alive, Xiao Yao is naturally not ugly, but in my father's eyes, people from the Demon Sect must not be very good-looking, and if this problem is to be solved, I need to go back after all. ”
Xu Chen frowned slightly, and said, "Have you ever thought that if you go back to Taiqingguan, you may never come back?"
Pan An looked at him and said sincerely: "Senior brother, you are my best friend in the capital, if I really can't come back, please help me take care of Xiaotang." ”
Xu Chen refused without hesitation and said: "Senior brother, don't think that you can trap me to death with this kind of words, your little daughter-in-law wants you to take care of yourself after all, don't count on me." ”
Hearing this, Pan An was furious and scolded: "How can you do this? Besides, as long as the teacher says a word, will I really not be able to come back for the rest of my life?"
Xu Chen thought for a while and said: "Anyway, you have to wait for me to come back from the Rotten Ke Temple, and then we will discuss, in fact, in my opinion, let the teacher marry you for the wedding, and what will be too clear." ”
Xuanwei looked very unreliable, and what he said was still so reliable, in fact, it was the fourth senior brother's decoction that was really good, and at night, the maid's body temperature returned to normal, and her spirit was much better, leaning on the bedside and talking to Ye Yao about the whispering between the little girl.
Xu Chen sat at the desk, rewatching Haoranqi's first exploration by the light of the oil lamp, he always felt a little bored, and couldn't help but glance at the bedside with his spare eyes, looking at Ye Yao's beautiful and childish face, thinking about what Pan An said before, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
The spring night breeze was light, the oil lamp shook slightly, and his face was a little cloudy, thinking about the strange dream he had last night, thinking about the maid's illness, and thinking about the words that the teacher said in the grass house during the day, he suddenly moved his heart slightly, and asked Ye Yao to take care of the maid, and walked out of the small courtyard.
Leaving the mirror lake, passing through the mountains and forests, bypassing the waterfall, and walking out of the narrow gorge, you came to the back mountain of the back mountain of the mountain and the cliff in front of the sea of clouds. With the sound of the waterfall, he walked up the steep stone path, and it took him a long time to reach the cliff cave where he had been imprisoned for a whole spring.
The rain corridor built by the senior brothers has endured a year's wind and rain, and it is no longer as new as it was at the beginning, and the wisteria fruits that bear in the corridor are fluttering in the night breeze, like bells, Xu Chen walked over and saw Xuanwei.
Xuan Wei sat on the edge of the cliff, his left hand was a delicate food box, there were a few taels of beef in the food box, and a yellow mud wine pot was placed on his right hand, which was a clear old wine, he looked at the capital at night in the distance, looked at the lights of thousands of homes there, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Xu Chen walked behind Xuanwei and bowed, remembering that night in late spring last year, he had a long conversation with the teacher on the side of the cliff.
Xuanwei knew that it was him behind him, and seemed to know what he was thinking, so he raised his hand and waved, motioning for him to sit beside him, and then said, "I'll talk about it when I want to." ”
Xu Chen wanted to ask Xuanwei a lot of questions, but looking at the tall back on the cliffside, he naturally remembered the back in his dream, so he hesitated for a long time, but still didn't speak.
Living in Chaoyang is a very happy thing, living in the capital of Chaoyang is the happiest thing, and the days in the Dushan Sect are even happier than he has ever experienced in his life, so he doesn't know what to say, worried that once he says those things, he will lose these happiness.
Xuanwei picked up a piece of beef with bright tendons, put it into his lips and chewed it slowly for a long time, with an intoxicated expression on his face, and when he sipped the meat aroma, he praised and said: "There is wine and meat, and you will have no worries in your life." ”
After saying this, he picked up the small flask and took a sip.
Xu Chen sat next to Xuanwei, picked up a piece of beef with his hand and threw it into his mouth, frowning, because he felt that this beef was too light. However, then he knew that he was wrong, this seemingly light and tasteless beef, the more he chewed it, the more fragrant it became, and after the tendons were cut off by his teeth, it released an incomparably wonderful mixed touch of elasticity and mushroom, and the unique taste of the beef itself gradually moistened the tongue.
"Good!" he said in shock, "Teacher, this is good wine and good meat." ”
Xuan Wei took out a small iron round wine jug from the side of the food box and threw it to him, and said with a smile: "Don't beg for wine in a different way, this wine is ordinary, but beef is extremely difficult to eat." There is a pot and a stove in the cliff building, just enough to marinate the pot of white buffalo meat, and the best thing is that Lao Huang can't climb here to the top, I. ”
Xu Chen knew that the old yellow in the teacher's mouth was the old scalper, thinking about eating its kind in front of the scalper, it was really a little embarrassing, suddenly, he found that the small round wine pot in his hand was a little familiar, and looked carefully, only to see that the surface of the wine pot was engraved with straight lines, wasn't it the small iron kettle he used to fry Ximen Wang?
"Don't look at me like that, I just think this little iron kettle is more suitable for wine, and of course, in order to prevent the smell of iron and wine, I have smeared something on the wall of the kettle. ”
Xuanwei brought the yellow mud wine jug to his lips and took a sip, and said: "The knife can be used to kill people, and it can also be used to cut vegetables, it depends on how you choose, people's mouths can be used to eat meat and drink wine, and it can also be used to talk and ask, after all, it depends on how you choose, but there is no right or wrong in this." ”
Xu Chen didn't understand the truth of these words, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Teacher, I have been having a dream in the past few years, and the story in the dream seems to be developing step by step. ”
Xuan Wei asked, "Why did you come to ask me?"
Xu Chen said: "Because there is a teacher in the dream. ”
Xuan smiled and said, "I'm not the maid's girl, why do you dream of me?"
Xu Chen said angrily: "Teacher, I'm talking about these things very seriously, can you not joke." ”
Xuanwei looked at him with a smile and said, "Then you continue to talk about dreams." ”
Looking at Xuanwei's eyes that seemed to be able to understand everything in the world, Xu Chen felt a little nervous, and said in a hoarse voice: "Actually, those dreams, you should know about them, teacher." Last night on this cliffside, when we were talking about the invasion of the underworld, you asked me which direction the underworld was in my dream. ”
Xuan Wei quietly looked at his youngest student and said, "This question is still valid. ”
Xu Chen said: "The night I saw...... It's from the north. ”
