The same room, the same layout, only separated by a wall, the little girl lay quietly between the bedding, her face as pale as paper, her breathing so light that it was almost inaudible. Jingchen was worrying too much. He was afraid that even if someone stood at the head of the bed and beat drums and gongs at this time, she might not wake up.

She looked so fragile that she could be blown away by a gust of wind. She was so thin that the quilt didn't even seem to bulge when she lay there.

Song Wenyuan sat beside her bed, frowned, lifted a corner of the quilt and looked at her shoulder. There was no woman's clothes here. She was wearing monk's clothes, which made her look even thinner and boneless. There was faint blood seeping from her shoulder, staining the fabric red. Song Wenyuan's throat tightened. He remembered that she said she was most afraid of pain... But when the knife was chopped down, she didn't even groan, and when she pushed him away, she didn't even frown...

He has protected many people in his life, but this is the first time someone pushed him away at a critical moment.

"There are many herbs in the mountains. If the monks have nothing to do, they will go into the mountains to collect herbs, one is to prepare for emergencies, and the other is to exercise their physical strength. But there is no medicine for wounds. The wound on her shoulder is not serious, but it is already a show of strength to go up the mountain in the rain, and it has been delayed for a long time..." Jingchen's eyes were compassionate, "Before she went to bed, she told me not to worry about it. She said that since the other party had hired someone to kill the court official, I am afraid that they will definitely send people to search the mountain. There must be someone guarding the foot of the mountain. Ciguang Temple is famous for its pure Buddhist place. They dare not mess around. But if the monks go down the mountain to buy medicine, I am afraid it will be dangerous."

"Acupuncture is extremely exhausting, and she was injured... but she still managed to arrange everything before she was willing to rest." Jingchen shook his head repeatedly, "This girl's character is really beyond the reach of ordinary women."

When they first met, the girl was still full of sorrow. She had no Buddha in her heart, but she came to the Buddhist temple to worship the dead. In front of the eternal lamp, the two tablets without words were covered with dust and no one came to worship them... Such a little girl was too transparent. I thought she would no longer be obsessed with life and death. But when they met again, Jingchen's impression of her was completely shattered.

She is clearly a little girl who is determined to go against the will of heaven and snatch people from the King of Hell!

He was moved by the mouthfuls of blood during acupuncture, but she just wiped it away expressionlessly and almost rudely, as if she was wiping away someone else's blood... She was really cruel to herself.

Jingchen didn't dare to ask Song Wenyuan what happened, only because he couldn't tell Song Wenyuan what price Wen Qian paid to pull him back from the brink of death. In the end, he could only say "Acupuncture is extremely mentally exhausting"... It wasn't a matter of mental exhaustion, it was a matter of effort.

He only promised to keep the secret.

Jingchen sighed softly, "I'll go prepare some food, you can eat as much as you can. There are no women in the temple, so she can only rely on you to take care of her here."

Song Wenyuan didn't respond, and it was unknown whether he heard it or not. Jingchen looked at him again, shook his head, and walked out with the door closed... Song Wenyuan got what he deserved this time. If there was really a girl who treated him like this, he would have to return to the secular world and end his fate.

Inside the house, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Song Wenyuan's fingertips slowly stroked the other's eyebrows. He liked this pair of eyes the most. When they were angry or smiling, it seemed that there was a fox hidden in them. It had nine tails and became a spirit. It could confuse people's minds and mess up their minds... One look could ruin their lives. At this moment, she was lying there with her eyes closed, which made her look more obedient. His fingertips stroked down along her eyebrows, nose tip, and finally landed on the corner of her lips, lingering.

"Little fox..." He lowered his voice, trembling slightly, as if he was hoping that she would wake up, but also afraid of waking her up, "Wake up..."

It was late at night and the rain was still falling.

Xu Chengjin had packed up the peach blossom wine that he would send to Luofengxuan the next morning. Just as he was about to go to bed, the housekeeper said that Aunt Gui from the Kejing Marquis's mansion had come and said that their young master and mistress had gone out and had not returned, but had left a message saying that they would be back for dinner. However, it was already late at night and no one was seen. Lin Mu was not there either. Aunt Gui was worried and thought of coming over to ask.

Xu Chengjin invited the girl in while putting on his clothes, but he didn't take it seriously and asked casually, "Maybe she was playing somewhere and got delayed. Don't worry. Since she left a message, why didn't she say where she was going?" The girl was playful to begin with, and Song Wenyuan was very easy to talk to in this regard, so she might have obeyed him in everything and forget herself for a while.

Aunt Gui was still anxious, "Young Madam didn't say anything, so I was worried... Since Young Madam said she would come back for dinner, she has never missed an appointment, and this time she didn't bring a maid with her... I don't dare to look for Madam, Madam already has a problem with Young Madam running away so often, Mr. Xu, how about you look for her?"

As Aunt Gui spoke, she was about to kneel down, her lips trembling with anxiety.

Xu Chengjin held her arm, the old lady's grip was so strong that it hurt. Xu Chengjin looked over Aunt Gui's shoulder at the heavy rain in the yard, wondering where the two could go in such bad weather. He told the steward to prepare the car and patiently persuaded Aunt Gui, "Okay. I'll go look for them. Don't worry, go back first... maybe the two have gone back hungry now."

Aunt Gui nodded repeatedly, thanked him, and rejected Xu Chengjin's offer to send her off. She tightened her raincoat and hurriedly stepped into the rain.

Although Xu Chengjin still didn't think there was any danger for the two of them to be together, he had promised Aunt Gui that he would look for them and give them a good lecture when he found them. Since the two of them had been going to Zuihuanlou recently, he went to Zuihuanlou himself first, but didn't see anyone. He then went to Sanpinju, and the shopkeeper said that Mr. Song hadn't been there for several days.

Until this moment, he realized belatedly that although these two people were full of tricks, one was poisoned and the other was powerless. If they really encountered any danger, it seemed that relying on their brains would be useless... With this thought, his back felt cold and he shouted to the men around him, "Quick! Go find them! Look for Lin Mu and Yan Huo everywhere!"

"Yes!"

"Wait!" He called out again, and warned carefully, "Search in secret, and be quiet. If anyone notices... just say that the little white dog that Song Wenyuan had fostered with me is missing, and you're looking for the dog!"

The young master of the Xu family has always acted out of character and made up his mind. It is not uncommon for him to mobilize a large number of people to search the streets and alleys in the rain for a dog. Xu Chengjin waved his hand and watched his men leave. He then jumped on his horse and headed towards the Kejing Marquis's mansion. The big raindrops hit his face and he couldn't even open his eyes. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became... Yuan Ge, please don't let anything happen again!
