The prince is seriously ill

Chapter 22 The Stranger

"It's poisoning! Ah Guai, how could you be poisoned?" Ah Chou looked at him anxiously. The symptoms of poisoning were urgent and fierce, and there must be something wrong with the food he ate.

Ah Chou saw that he gradually lost his vitality, his hands were hanging limply, only his chest was still twitching, and he was so frightened that he burst into tears.He helped him sit up abruptly, opened his jaw with one hand, and inserted his other hand roughly into his throat, digging hard with two fingers, and begged in a crying voice: "Quick! Spit it out! Spit it out quickly! Come out and hear it!" He said while shaking him desperately.

Xun Yu was dizzy from being shaken. The foreign body in his throat caused him nausea, and he vomited with a loud wow.

"Spit it out again! Spit it out!" The finger stuck into his mouth again.

Xun Yu avoided it, frowned and vomited several times, but couldn't vomit anything, so that disgusting hand didn't reach in again.After this commotion, he became even more powerless, and he tilted his head and fell down. The moment his eyelids closed, he seemed to see a face full of tears.

Ah Chou saw that he was staring vaguely at him before falling down, his face turned pale immediately, he stroked his nose tremblingly, held his breath for a long time, making sure that his breathing was even, then took off his ragged shirt and covered him, and remained motionless Staring at the side, waiting for the color of his lips to return to normal, he sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief.

what happened?Why did I eat the same thing, but Ah Guai was poisoned when I was here well?Could it be that there is something wrong with the red flesh cake I gave him?But even if the red meat cake is completely broken, it will be a stomachache at most, and it is absolutely impossible to kill anyone.So it's still the leaf's problem, but obviously I also ate it, so why am I fine?Ah Chou was puzzled, scratched his head restlessly, and unscrewed the water bag to pour some white water into the unconscious Ah Guai.

He thought he would wake up soon, but it wasn't until midnight of the next day that Ah Guai not only showed no signs of waking up, but his whole body was scalded like a stove. Only then did he realize that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

He privately felt that if Ah Guai didn't wake up again, maybe he would never wake up again.He vomited all the food he ate, and now it has been so long, if he doesn't eat again, he will definitely starve to death in a coma.Ah Chou frowned and thought deeply, I caused him to be like this, I can't let him starve to death.

He stood up abruptly, glanced at the sleeping man, hesitated for a moment, stabbed the back of his hand, cut a hole immediately, and put his hand next to the man's mouth, blood flowed into his mouth without leaking.

Ah Guai suddenly reacted, and began to suck eagerly. Although his eyes were still closed, his throat kept making swallowing movements, just like a wolf lamb that was just born and was very hungry.

Losing a lot of blood, Ah Chou seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, shaking dizzily, seeing Ah Guai suddenly turned his head away from eating, and was about to withdraw his hand, when he heard a heavy voice, he couldn't help being startled.

Following the prestige, I saw a thin person standing at the entrance of the cave. On closer inspection, he turned out to be a monk.

Ah Chou tore off a piece of cloth to cover the wound, stood up and looked at the monk, three parts curious and seven parts vigilant.

The monk came over and clasped his hands together, "Excellent! Who are you lying here?"

A Chou felt that the monk seemed harmless, so he replied, "My friend."

"What happened to him?" the monk asked.

A Chou then explained the cause and effect in detail, and then looked at Xun Zhi with a face of self-blame, frowning tightly, and said distressedly: "Obviously I also ate that leaf, but I don't know why he was poisoned. It's okay, you don't blame it?"

The monk stared at Xun Yu for a while, opened his eyelids and saw that there were indeed signs of poisoning, then glanced at the leaves on the ground, bent down to pick them up from the ground, and smelled them carefully, "The leaves you said are it?"

A Chou nodded, "Exactly."

"If he ate this, it would not be surprising that he would be poisoned," the monk said, looking at the filth on the ground, "Fortunately, he spit it out in time, otherwise he would have died."

Ah Chou's eyes widened in shock, "Why? I eat more than him, why am I okay?"

The monk pondered for a while and said, "Have you ever eaten a kind of herbal medicine called Daoqi? That kind of herbal medicine can just detoxify the poison of this leaf."

Ah Cangyan lowered his head sadly, he didn't know what kind of knife paint was not knife paint, he only knew that he had eaten countless green leaves.He stomped on the wilted leaves and kicked them away.Sure enough, I killed him!So what if he didn't mean it, he's already half dead!Ah Chou plopped down on his knees: "Master, can you save him? He must save him!"

The monk helped him up, "Don't worry, he's fine, and he'll wake up soon." Since the leaves have all been vomited out, it stands to reason that he wouldn't be in a coma for so long. If he guessed right, the child It should be... fainted from hunger!After traveling for many years, this year's tragedy is really unprecedented.The bones of the dead are exposed in the wilderness, the hungry people have to eat their children, and the people are suffering like this. Whose fault is it?Who can get through the misery of all sentient beings?The monk let out a long sigh.

As he guessed, Xun Yu was just starving, drank something, and woke up within an hour.

Xun Yu sat up and saw that he was covered with a long robe, which had been patched a lot and exuded a strange sour smell.Put away the robe and put it on the clean ground, and looked around, the cave was still the same cave, and the firewood was burning very well, but Ah Chou was nowhere to be seen, instead there was an unfamiliar monk.

"Who are you?" Xun Yu said hoarsely.

"The poor monk's Dharma name is Huiming." The monk heard the sound and opened his eyes, stared at him for a long time, met his cold eyes, and suddenly said: "Little benefactor is young, why should he suffer so much? You must know Only by letting go of your obsessions can you escape!"

Xun Yu sneered, he usually dislikes these people who can't speak well, and he is even more disgusted when he hears this.Where do I have any obsessions, and where do I need detachment?I just need to live and do what I have to do!who are youI don't need your pointing fingers!

"Where did Ah Chou go?" Xun Yu asked coldly.Although he had been in a coma for a long time, his consciousness had not completely disappeared.In a daze, he found a warm hand on his mouth, and the salty liquid flowed into his mouth, and he realized that someone was bleeding him to drink!At that moment, his mood was both shocked and indescribably complicated.What a fool, he would cut blood and feed a stranger?

How could the starving Xun Yu refuse the temptation of food?Even if it's just unpalatable human blood, as long as it can satisfy his hunger, it is no different from nectar to him!In fact, he was not full, he forced himself to close his mouth with a trace of clarity, and if he drank any more, that ugly boy would die.

"Where is Ah Chou?" Xun Yu asked in a bad tone, extremely dissatisfied with his silence.

Monk Huiming still didn't say a word, just closed his eyes quietly.Suddenly, his ears moved, and he came out of the cave like a gust of wind.

Almost at the same time, Ah Chou screamed in panic from outside.

Xun Yu secretly thought that it was not good, he grabbed the dagger and ran out. Seeing this, his steps froze and his hair stood on end.The strange wind rushed towards his face, and Xun Yusheng took several steps back, hitting his back on the wall of the cave.

Hearing the roar of the tiger, the tiger opened its mouth, and the saliva flowed out of the bloody mouth. It looked at Ah Chou who was holding the wooden stick back with red eyes, and rushed over quickly.

Xun Yu didn't know where the strength came from, and thrust the dagger into the tiger's back suddenly, the tiger turned around sharply, and roared towards Xun Yu.Xun Yu didn't have time to draw his knife, so he couldn't avoid it, so he ran away.

The tiger jumped up and was about to bite Xun Yu's neck. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and two stones accurately hit the tiger's left and right eyes.The strength of the stone was extraordinary, the tiger fell to the ground, and took two steps back under the impact of the stone, two streams of scarlet blood flowed out of his eyes.Maybe it's the pain, maybe it's the loss of the light, the tiger is scurrying around like crazy, jumping around aimlessly, and it seems like it wants to escape but doesn't know the direction, so it just opened its mouth and turned around in a hurry.

Ah Chou saw the right moment and drew the dagger from the tiger's back, stabbed at the tiger's head with all his strength, and stabbed the tiger's neck a few more times. The tiger wailed a few times, and finally fell down.

The monk walked over to take a look at the tiger's corpse, clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, it's not that the poor monk meant to hurt you, but if I didn't hurt you, the two children would be killed by you!" Then he turned and walked into the cave.

The two looked at each other with lingering fear, and Ah Chou suddenly ran up to the tiger, grabbed its tail, and said excitedly, "Ah Guai, we have some meat to eat!"

Xun Yu nodded, it was indeed good news, he could hardly remember the taste of meat.

The two worked together to drag the tiger into the cave.Ah Chou chopped off a tiger leg and roasted it on the fire. The smell of the meat wafted over, and the two of them stared at it intently, fearing that the cooked tiger leg could still fly.The last two gluttons couldn't bear it anymore, so they hurriedly took off the meat and ate it when it was still half-cooked.

A Chou tore off a large piece of meat, looked at the monk sitting cross-eyed and chanting sutras, walked over and said, "Master, eat a piece of meat, if you hadn't hit the tiger in the eye just now, we would be the ones being eaten now." .”

Monk Huiming didn't open his eyes, "Monks don't eat meat."

"But the master has been hungry for several days. If he doesn't eat, he will starve to death."

"The almsgiver eats it himself! This meat was killed for me. How can a poor monk eat this meat that is not clean?"

Ah Chou had no choice but to come back awkwardly.

Xun Yu suddenly picked up the piece of meat and walked over, "I heard that monks don't kill animals, even if they eat meat, they only eat the three clean meats. If the master doesn't eat this meat, he will go on a hunger strike and die, and dying on a hunger strike is suicide. Isn’t suicide also killing? If a person does not eat meat, he kills, and if he eats meat, he does not kill. Should he choose the lesser of two evils, and would rather eat meat and break the minor precept than killing and breaking the major precept? Besides, the Buddha said that everything is created by the mind. , if you don’t have meat in your heart, how can you talk about eating meat?”

If you have no meat in your heart, how can you talk about eating meat?Monk Huiming opened his eyes and stood up, took a deep look at him, took the piece of meat, clapped his hands together and saluted, "Thank you for the food!"

Xun Yu returned a salute and walked away, he decided to make a good relationship with him.Just now he saw the skill of this monk, if this monk was around, he would be much safer, and he wouldn't have to be afraid of those bandits.

Seeing that the monk really ate meat, A Chou looked at Xun Yu adoringly, and thought that Ah Guai was really powerful, and he broke the precept with just a few words.

"Do you two have somewhere to go?" Monk Huiming asked suddenly.

The two shook their heads tacitly.

Huiming looked at Xun Yu and said, "The little benefactor has a predestined relationship with the Buddha, so I wonder if he would like to go back to Nanyin Temple with the poor monk?"

Xun Yu was worried that he had nowhere to go, so he naturally asked for it, "Is there any food in Nanyin Temple?" Having tasted enough of hunger, what he cares about most now is food and clothing.

"Although it's some rough tea and light food, it won't fill your stomach!" Monk Huiming nodded.

Ah Chou hurriedly stood up, "I'm going too, master, you can take me with you too, if Ah Guai becomes a monk, I will also go as a monk."

Monk Huiming agreed in a loud voice. Although this person has a different appearance and is not as intelligent as others, he has a rare heart of innocence. He is also kind and willing to take care of others.

The two of them took the tiger meat into jerky and took it with them. Before it snowed, they followed Monk Huiming to Nanyin Temple.

Xun Yu knew very well in his heart that Nanyin Temple was at best a temporary place to stay.Since there is food to eat there, he doesn't mind being a monk for a while.

But he never thought that half of his life had been rough, and in the end, he still had no chance to be ordained.
