Rescue the old male god

After the beginning of winter, the weather was so cloudy that we hadn't seen the sun for several days.

On this day, light snow suddenly fell in the small town near Wangshan Mountain in the northwest, and the air was damp and cold for a while. Pedestrians and vendors on the street wrapped their thin jackets tightly, clamoring that it was time to add more clothes.

It always gets dark early in this season, but it’s just past half of the time, and there are no people on the street. Seeing that there is no business, the small vendors on the roadside simply closed their stalls early.

As the dusk deepened, the snow did not show any intention of stopping, on the contrary, it fell more and more violently, mixed with the north wind and whizzing straight into people's necks.

The sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the dark and desolate street, from far to near, very hurried.

The man on the horse was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, and he was rushing on the horse. He couldn't see his face and figure clearly, but even the man and the horse had a compelling aura.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street have erected their doors and closed their doors to thank customers. Only a candied chestnut shop on the corner of the street is still lit with lanterns.

When the galloping man passed the street corner, he turned his head to the shop, then tightened the reins, and stopped the horse.The snow on the ground was mixed with mud, and it was quite slippery, but the man in coir raincoat was very good at equestrianism. He manipulated the rein to pull the horse to a steady stop, jumped off the horse lightly, and walked into the shop selling sugar-fried chestnuts.

"Guest officer, would you like some chestnuts?"

The shop owner greeted him with a smile, but he couldn't help shrinking his neck from the cold brought in by the man in coir raincoat.

"Boss, here is a catty of chestnuts." When the man raised his head slightly, the boss was stunned for a moment. It turned out that under the bamboo hat was a young woman, about eighteen or nine years old, with a pretty face and fair skin. There is no expression on the face, a little cold.

"Okay, wait a moment." The boss skillfully wrapped a catty of chestnuts in oiled paper, tied them with thread, and handed them to the woman in coir raincoat.

"For the chestnuts you want, I will give you fifty cash."

The woman in coir raincoat weighed the oil-paper bag in her hand and said, "I don't want this, I want to fry it now."

The boss's complexion changed, but he still patiently explained: "This guest officer, it will take a long time for you to be fired now."

"It's okay, let's fry."

It's a cold day, the boss wanted to close the store as soon as he sold out the chestnuts he had, but he didn't expect the girl to ask him to fry them now. The boss didn't want to bother, so he wanted to persuade her to buy the chestnuts. Pack chestnuts.

But before the words came out, they were blocked back.

"Is it enough?"

The boss looked at the ingot of broken silver that the woman in coir raincoat put on the counter, which was as much as one or two, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Oh my god, how many chestnuts do I have to sell to earn it back.

A businessman will never be troubled by money. The boss smiled all over his face and replied repeatedly: "Guest officer, wait a minute, I'm going to speculate now, I'm going to speculate now!"

The night was completely dark, and the horseshoes splashed slush, traveling from the small town to the suburban forest, traveling like the wind, snow and frost shook from the treetops wherever they passed, and landed silently.

The woman in coir raincoat hurried on her horse, turned left at the fork in the dense forest, and went down the slope. After a short walk, she entered a valley. It was strange to say that as soon as she entered the valley, the snow stopped suddenly, and even though there was snow in the valley. There is not a small night wind, but the temperature is much milder than the snowy days outside the valley, it looks like autumn rather than winter.

The woman in the coir raincoat touched the oil-paper bag hidden under the coir coir raincoat, put her legs on the horse's belly, and accelerated forward.

Finally, I saw a weak light in the distance, flickering on and off, as if it would be swallowed by the night wind and darkness at any time.Behind the light, one can vaguely see a temple, standing quietly in this valley, somewhat detached from the world, isolated from the world of mortals.

"Sister!" The light wobbled towards her. It turned out to be a little girl, about eleven or two years old, with a thin and thin figure. Under the light of the candle, her small face was delicate and cute. Among them, it looks like a valley elf.

"More than enough!"

The woman in coir raincoat tightened the reins, jumped off the horse, and went up to face the light, holding the little girl in her arms, with a questioning tone, "It's windy at night, it's so late, why did you come out?"

"She has been standing at the door and watching since daytime, and she refuses to go back no matter how much she persuades her." A middle-aged nun walked out of the nunnery, with a gentle smile, clasped her hands together, and bowed to the woman in coir raincoat, "Amitabha, Lord Chen Be polite."

The woman in coir raincoat took off her bamboo hat, and clasped her palms together to salute her, "Chen Yuanyuan has met Mrs. Huijing." Then she turned to look at the little girl beside her, and asked, "Why don't you listen to Mrs. Huijing?" if?"

"I... I'm afraid you won't come..." The little girl with more than a name was holding a lantern, and looked at Chen Yuanyuan pitifully. Her thin and small appearance made it hard to be harsh.

Chen Yuanyuan could not see this sister a few times in a year, and the words she blurted out just now were really distressing, seeing her like this now, her tone softened, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I came late gone."

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and a smile appeared on her face again, "It's okay, as long as you come."

"It's windy outside, let's go in and talk about it." Master Hui Jing smiled and invited two sisters, one older and one younger, into the nunnery, and closed the door to block the cold night wind from the door.

The three of them entered Lixue Hall. Chen Yuanyuan put aside the coir raincoat and bamboo hat, took out the sugar-fried chestnuts bought in the small town, touched the oiled paper bag, and frowned, "Hurry up, it's still cold..."

"It's okay, I like to eat it when it's cold!" Before he could finish speaking, Chen Youyu snatched it away.

Chen Youyu lived in the valley since he was a child, and he never went out of the valley several times a year. He always hoped that his father and sister would bring some novelty to eat when they came to see him, so he didn't care whether it was cold or not. Lehu, from time to time put some in the hands of Mrs. Huijing and her sister.

"Daddy..." Chen Youyu hesitated in his eyes, with anticipation but didn't dare to expect too much, and asked, "He is out to see a doctor again, can't he get away?"

"Well, Daddy wants me to say sorry to you, he said he will definitely come to see you with me next time." Chen Yuanyuan replied.

"Oh, I knew..." Chen Youyu nodded slowly, then lowered his head to eat chestnuts, but his mouth was pouted, his voice was low, and after a while he suddenly raised his head and said, "Then you tell him, next time You must come next time."

Chen Yuanyuan smiled and agreed.While talking to Mrs. Hui Jing, she peeled the chestnut shells for Chen Youyu, "These chestnuts are just brought for you to taste, children should not eat more..."

"The living is difficult to digest, ripening means stagnation of qi and food, and often causes children's diseases. Oh, I know, I know." Chen Youyu filled his mouth with chestnuts, and at the same time took Chen Yuanyuan's words smoothly, ""Materia Medica Yanyi" I You have to memorize them well, if you don’t believe me, ask the teacher.”

Chen Yuanyuan had nothing to do with her, Master Hui Jing said with a smile, "You Yu worked hard every day to recite medical books and identify herbs. My backyard in Juechen Nunnery is almost turning into a Lingchuan medicine house. Waiting for you to come and compete."

"Of course, I want to cure diseases and save people like my father and sister, and hang the pot to help the world." Chen Youyu also took a chestnut himself, and peeled the shell laboriously, because of the force, his eyebrows were knit together.

"I'm afraid that there is no medical doctor who eats chestnuts like you and dies completely. Fortunately, I didn't buy more, and if I eat two more, I won't be allowed to eat them." Chen Yuanyuan said.

Chen Youyu pouted and made a grimace.

After another three minutes, Chen Youyu managed to digest some of the chestnuts she had eaten. Seeing her sister, she was both excited and excited, and she dragged Chen Yuanyuan to talk a lot, and refused to sleep for a long time. Coax her to sleep, and go back to Lixue Hall to talk with Mrs. Huijing.

"Youyu has grown a lot in the past year. She is naughty by nature. Please trouble Master to take care of me and Daddy."

"Benefactor Chen is serious, she is smart and caring, and she is very close to the poor nun. Moreover, she is also very skilled in medicine at a young age. In the past few years, she has cured many minor illnesses for the poor nun. It can be regarded as taking care of each other."

"This child was born with precocious intelligence and good fortune. He has suffered from constant ailments since he was a child. Even my father and I were helpless in trying all kinds of medicines and remedies. If it wasn't for the teacher's guidance, he was taken here to practice martial arts. How could he be healthy so far?"

"All virtuous dharmas come from the combination of karma and fate, not without cause. If the poor nun was not wounded and dying in Lingchuan, and was rescued by his father to the medicine house in Lingchuan, how could he have become attached to his sister?"

"What the teacher said is true." Chen Yuanyuan stopped arguing and took out the pulse pillow, "Is the teacher feeling unwell recently? Let Yuanyuan check the teacher's pulse. No matter how accurate the girl's medical books are, she is still inexperienced." , we can't let her smash the signboard of Lingchuan Medicine House."

Master Hui Jing smiled too, "Don't worry, you look exhausted too, go take a hot bath first, rest until tomorrow, and then see you later."

"To tell you the truth, Master, Consummation came here this time, and he can't stay for long."

"But there are urgent patients who need to be treated?"

"A few days ago, I was practicing medicine in the Heluo area. I received a letter from Fei Ge from my father, telling me to come here as soon as possible to see if Yu Yu is well, and then go back to Lingchuan to find him. The letter is brief, and I agree I don't know what happened, but Dad seldom used flying pigeons to send letters, I guessed that it was urgent, so I didn't dare to delay for a moment, and I will set off for Lingchuan at dawn."

Mrs. Hui Jing sighed after hearing this, "You father and daughter have been traveling for a month when you go to the clinic. There are not many times when you have more time to visit. In the past, you could come and stay for four or five days. This time you left in such a hurry. , she won't see you when she wakes up tomorrow, I'm afraid she will be disappointed again."

"That's something that can't be helped," Chen Yuanyuan sighed, "My father and I both know that we owe too much, but as doctors, we always feel that there are more people who need help. Since I have this ability, I can’t help but do more.”

Master Huijing comforted, "You father and daughter are kind-hearted people, and you will be rewarded. Yuyu looks naughty, but actually understands everything. She knows your intentions, so it's okay to complain and be unhappy. Just for a moment, then it's all right."

Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile, "So I often feel that having more is our blessing."

******

As the dawn was approaching, Chen Yuan was afraid that his sister would wake up and feel sad, so he bid farewell to Mrs. Hui Jing, and left a few prescriptions for the two of them to recuperate their bodies, and used it for Chen Youyu to study medicine.

She rode a horse all the way to the southeast, crossing mountains and ridges along the way. She only wanted to save some time by taking shortcuts. Except for staying at hotels in towns along the way at night, she almost bought dry food for her daytime breaks and rode slowly on horseback, eating while walking.

That night she talked with Mrs. Hui Jing in Lixue Hall, but she didn't tell the whole truth.

In the Flying Pigeon biography her father sent her, in addition to asking her to rush back to the Lingchuan medicine house, she also told her that if no one else was in the medicine house on October [-]th, she should rush to Jiangnan Hua's house before the heavy snow solar term no matter what. , use the Lingchuan blood lotus to continue the life of Mrs. Hua, and nothing will hinder her.

The urgent and serious tone in her father's letter was something that Chen Yuanyuan had never seen in her life, so she speculated that her father must have encountered something difficult, and she couldn't help worrying, but she couldn't reveal it to Mrs. Hui Jing and Chen Youyu.

After driving for two or three days in a row, not far away was the Liupanshan Pass, which must be passed through to Lingchuan. Chen Yuan saw a tea shed in front of him, so he dismounted to buy some dry food for preparation.It was so windy that day that even the straw coir raincoat couldn't withstand it. Although Chen Yuanyuan had a foundation in martial arts, his whole body was still a little stiff from the cold, so he ordered a bowl of hot tea and planned to drink it to warm himself up before going on the road.

This place is regarded as an important road in Guanzhong, and there is an endless stream of business travelers, but there is only one tea shed, and there are only a few tables, and almost all of them are occupied.

Chen Yuanyuan glanced around and found that there were three empty seats at a table, so he took the tea bowl and went over.

"Young master, do you mind if I sit here?"

"Young lady, please go ahead." The young man sitting alone at the table replied with a smile. He was dressed in elegant clothes, with a handsome face, and a bright smile, just like the warm sun in winter. It was light and not dazzling, but it made people feel warm.
