Liaozhai Great Sage

"Here, here."

"Captain Iron Mountain."

Immediately, three or four strong guards rushed out of the room before they even had time to put on their clothes, and arrived in front of Tieshan in unison.

"Leave one person to take care of this girl, and the others will follow me to protect the young master. If the young master suffers any loss today, I'll ask you guys." Tieshan shouted.

"Yes." The others said hurriedly with a shudder in their hearts.

Immediately, Tieshan chased after him with two guards.

Chapter 19 Origin and Death

The sacred tree is behind the main hall of Lanruo Temple.

Li Xiuyuan originally wanted to go to see it yesterday, but he wasted time because of the mural, and he didn't go to see it out of safety considerations. He planned to go to see what is unusual about that sacred tree after waking up today. place, but did not expect something to happen today.

Xiaodie said that Qingmei was near the sacred tree.

Then there is no doubt that something happened there.

When Li Xiuyuan arrived, he saw a tree with a towering crown, and people gathered around the huge banyan tree.

There were pilgrims who burned incense in the morning, and there were also monks from Lanruo Temple, who presided over it. Even Master Liaokong from yesterday seemed to be present. He was sitting cross-legged next to a nearby temple with his head down and his eyes down, reciting scriptures.

"Why did such a thing happen so well?"

"Who knows, but judging by the girl's appearance, I'm afraid she will die. There is no doctor in Lanruo Temple. Even if she wants to invite her, she must go to Guobei County to invite her."

"Even if the doctor comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to save this girl's life."

Discussions continued to come from the crowd.

"Give way." Li Xiuyuan shouted suddenly at this moment, like a thunderclap, relying on his strength of many years of martial arts training, he directly broke through the crowd and forced his way in.

But when he crossed the crowd, he suddenly saw that under the sacred tree, Qingmei girl was pale, panting quickly and fell to the ground. A half-burned incense stick pierced her chest. She took off her clothes and inserted it into the heart. Scarlet blood continuously overflowed from the wound, flowing down the chest and onto the ground, staining the surrounding area red.

At this moment, no one dared to approach Qingmei to rescue her, they all just watched her fall to the ground and bleed dry.

"Miss Qingmei."

Li Xiuyuan's face suddenly became busy and he rushed out, and immediately hugged Qingmei who had fallen on the ground gently into his arms. Regardless of the difference between men and women, he directly untied her clothes and checked her for injuries.

It doesn't matter if this investigation is done, but the unburned Buddha incense has already penetrated deeply into his chest, and at this time, it may have already penetrated into his heart.

Such a serious injury is difficult to heal even in the world before time travel, let alone this ancient time.

"Li, Mr. Li, if you are here, I know you will come." Qingmei's face was terribly pale, without a trace of blood, but she still forced a smile.

"Don't talk, I'll help you heal." Li Xiuyuan said, gently covering the wound, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.

But with a slight squeeze, the blood flowed faster, and seemed to have a tendency to gush out.

There is no doubt that this is an injury to an artery, even an artery in the heart.

For a moment, he froze.

Qingmei reluctantly raised her blood-stained jade hand and put it on Li Xiuyuan's palm, and said in a weak voice: "Young Master Li, I don't need it, I'm afraid I won't survive today."

"No, don't say that. There is still hope. You may not die." Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and said, wanting to pull out the Buddhist incense stuck in his heart, otherwise the green plum stuck in his chest would surely die. He wanted I reached out but didn't dare.

I'm afraid this pulling will make Qingmei die faster.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan so anxious and concerned about her own safety, Qingmei couldn't help showing a sweet smile.

"Li, Mr. Li's slave's house is a bit cold, can you hold my slave's house tightly?"

"Yes, you can ask for whatever you want." Li Xiuyuan immediately poured Qingmei's increasingly cold body into his arms, feeling that the vitality of this pretty beauty was rapidly draining.

He had never been so weak since he was born.

Watching a person die in front of his eyes.

Qingmei leaned in the man's arms and said softly: "Nu... I have some things in my heart that I want to say to Mr. Li. These words have been pressed in my heart for a long time. If I don't say anything now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to talk to Mr. Li in the future."

"Speak, I'll listen." Li Xiuyuan said.

Qingmei looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her with her beautiful eyes, and recalled: "It should have been ten years ago. At that time, Mr. Li was only five years old, and my family was only six years old. Mr. Li brought a few The entourage was shopping in Guobei City, and the Nu family was also there. At that time, the Nu family's mother took the Nu family to sell vegetables on the street. At that time, the Nu family asked the mother for a penny to buy it across the street because they wanted to eat candied haws. "

"I still remember that when I was walking through the street, a carriage crazily ran towards my family. It was Mr. Li who rushed over and rescued my family. I wonder if Mr. Li still remembers this?"

"I remember, I still remember that you cried in fright, so I bought all the candied haws to comfort you. It turns out that you are that gluttonous little girl of Guo Beicheng." Li Xiuyuan said.

He did have such a thing in his childhood memory.

Unexpectedly, the girl rescued by a kind deed ten years ago turned out to be the green plum in front of her.

The so-called fate is really hard to say clearly.

But this fate seems to have come a bit late.

There was a bit of a smile on the corner of Qingmei's mouth, and her face became paler and paler: "Isn't it the slave family, but the slave family's life is hard, and Mr. Li's dozens of candied haws can't be melted. Later, the slave family's mother passed away early, and my father was dyed again. He got involved in gambling, and sold his family into a brothel because of his gambling debts... The family lived in a brothel for ten years, and his father also passed away during the ten years. There is no one in this world anymore. The only person I can't forget is Mr. Li."

"So early on, the slave family secretly saved money and wanted to redeem themselves. They went to Guobei County to seek refuge with Mr. Li, and they were slaves to Mr. Li. body, brought Xiaodie to Guobei County..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Qingmei, who was bleeding profusely, was about to pass out now.

And this coma, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up.

"Miss Qingmei, you can't fall asleep, you can't sleep." Li Xiuyuan hurriedly said.

Qingmei probably heard Li Xiuyuan's voice, and suddenly opened her eyes with a jerk, she seemed to be much more energetic, she didn't know where she got the strength to grab Li Xiuyuan's palm, and said with some urgency: "Mr. , although the slave family is a brothel girl, she has always been innocent and has never lost her body, Mr. Li, you have to trust the slave family."

"I believe, I believe, Miss Qingmei emerges from the mud without being stained." Li Xiuyuan said immediately, but he felt more and more bad.

Is this a flashback?

"If the slave family really goes to seek refuge with Mr. Li, Mr. Li will not dislike the background of the slave family." Qingmei asked seriously again, her eyes full of expectation.

"No, Miss Qingmei is so beautiful, how can I, Li Xiuyuan, dislike her, and I will only treat her well."

Li Xiuyuan said seriously.

Qing Mei gave a pale smile, lifted a tightly clenched hand, and placed a wooden sign in Li Xiuyuan's hand.

On one side of the wooden sign were written the names of Qingmei and Li Xiuyuan, and on the other side was written the words of blessing that they would grow old together and be united forever.
