[Lu Xiaofeng] Hidden Forest of Flowers and Leaves

Hua Manlou hastily covered one eye, only to find that the other eye became very blurred and only a little light penetrated.He was a little flustered, wondering what kind of poison He Gu had given him?No wonder she can walk away so confidently, who can recognize him like this!

The boy also sighed.He couldn't make up any more comforting words.

Hua Manlou was in a state of turmoil, he couldn't adapt to the current situation at all.He simply didn't know what to do, he just hoped that Gu He would come back soon and undo the poison on him.

The young man persuaded Hua Manlou to eat more, because only by eating more can he have strength, and food is limited.Hearing what he said, Hua Manlou's heart moved, and she felt that she really should gather some strength.He nodded, the boy was overjoyed, and fed Huamanlou the porridge.

After finishing the porridge, Hua Manlou began to pay attention to his surroundings.The people in this dilapidated temple all looked very weak, with disheveled faces and scantily clad clothes.A child nestled in the arms of an adult also looked lifeless.There is no happy and peaceful scene in the entire ruined temple, which makes people wonder, is this still Jiangnan?

Hua Manlou grabbed the boy's clothes, pointed at the crowd, and asked him about the situation here.The young man was secretly looking at the piece of silver left to him by Gu He, and he was so happy that he was about to fly, but was suddenly caught by Hua Manlou, who thought for a moment that he had found the piece of silver.

When the young man finally understood what Hua Manlou meant, he said, "The people here are all refugees from the north. They are old, weak, sick, and in poor health. They have no way to exert their strength, so they just stay here half dead."

Hua Manlou pointed to the porridge pot and medicine pot at the back.There is a long queue in front of these two pots, and only in front of these two pots can one feel a trace of popularity.

"There is a man named 'Gongzi' who gives porridge and medicine here every day. But the people who can receive it must be those who are sick or unable to work, otherwise the son's men will beat them out with sticks."

The young man pointed to several guards in green clothes in front of the pot, and said.

Huamanlou saw that the guards were strong and strong, with protruding temples, obviously all of them were masters.

He looked at the boy suspiciously again.He couldn't see anything wrong with the other party's health.

The young man giggled and said, "Do you want to ask, why am I here?" Hua Manlou nodded.

The young man pulled Huamanlou over, and whispered to him: "Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll tell you! My ears are not good, and I couldn't hear when I was born. But you don't have to rush to sympathize with me. Thanks to my hard work, I learned how to read lips! So I got a job under the young master, here to help take care of the patients!"

Hua Manlou's eyes were full of admiration.The boy felt a little embarrassed, touched his head and said, "You don't have to look at me like that. So...you're not too bad."

Hua Manlou nodded.

The young man said: "My name is Du Le, you can call me Ale!" But he couldn't help sighing when he thought that Hua Manlou had no way to call him.

Hua Manlou smiled slightly.He suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up.Since Du Le can read lips, it doesn't matter whether he can make a sound.Thinking of this, he grabbed Du Le's arm and opened his mouth to say three words silently.

"Flower-full-floor." Du Le followed his lips and read out.

Hua Manlou nodded happily.Du Le also suddenly realized that the two of them could communicate, and excitedly said, "Are you talking about your name Huamanlou?"

Hua Manlou nodded: "Yes!"

Du Le's youthful heart, immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "It's wonderful! We are deaf and dumb, and we can still talk with our mouths!"

Hua Manlou shook his arm, signaling him to keep his voice down.He couldn't believe that Gu He just put him here like this, with no one else watching except Du Le.

Hua Manlou asked, "Where is the aunt who brought me here? Where did she go?"

Du Le looked at Dazzled Manlou sympathetically: "She said she has something to leave and she will be back soon, so don't worry!" In fact, Du Le thought, she probably had abandoned the child.

Huamanlou lowered her eyes.Du Le couldn't bear to see him disappointed, and said, "Since you've already come here, would you like to meet 'Tsing Yi Yan Luo'?"

Hua Manlou said: "Yan Luo in Tsing Yi?"

Du Le sighed, covered his mouth with one hand, and secretly pointed at the scholar in front of Guan Gong's statue with the other hand: "That's him, he is a scholar who lives in a nearby temple, and he often comes here to give free consultations to these refugees."

Hua Manlou looked over, and saw that the scholar was thin, with a sallow complexion and a cold expression.It's just that his clothes are not worn out, what he wears tonight is made of the best silk and satin.His whole person gave off a very weird feeling, no wonder Du Le called him "Yan Luo in Tsing Yi".

"Is he good at medicine?"

Du Le thought for a while: "Who knows, anyway, the people who come here are all dying people. If they only wander on the street, who can see a doctor and take medicine? Anyway, I just ask for comfort. No effect..." Du Le smiled: "It depends on God's will."

Hua Manlou saw that Yan Luo in Tsing Yi would carefully write down the prescriptions for every patient he treated.But no matter what the prescription is, the only medicine people here can take is scooped out of that big medicine pot.

A thin old man behind him brought the medicine, sat down cross-legged happily, smelled the fragrance of the medicine very cherishedly, and just drank the medicine without leaving a drop.Hua Manlou smelled it, but it was just an ordinary medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying, and it might not be of much use to the abscess all over the old man's body.

However, isn't "hope" also a good medicine?

Hua Manlou sighed secretly, and said to Du Le, "A Le, take me to have a look."

Du Le patted his head in embarrassment: "What, you kid, you should call me Brother A Le." After saying that, he turned his back and carried Hua Manlou on his back.

There was also a long queue in front of "Tsing Yi Yan Luo".The team moved forward slowly, and it was Huamanlou's turn after an hour.

Du Le put Huamanlou on the three-legged broken stool in front of the incense table, and put his hands on the back of the chair to prevent Huamanlou from falling.Yan Luo in Tsing Yi lowered his eyes and said lazily, "Hand."

Hua Manlou stretched out his hand.His hands trembled in the air for a long while before being caught impatiently by Yan Luo in Tsing Yi.After cutting the pulse, Tsing Yi Yan Luo's brows became more and more wrinkled.He suddenly pulled Hua Manlou to the desk, pinched Hua Manlou's chin and looked at it carefully.

Hua Manlou almost fell off the chair, but fortunately Du Le grabbed him.Du Le glared dissatisfiedly at Yan Luo in Tsing Yi, but saw Yan Luo in Tsing Yi turned Hua Man Lou's face and smiled very strangely.

He pine blossomed all over the building, and a prescription was made in one go.Du Le took the prescription, and he didn't know any of the words on it, but it didn't matter if he knew it or not, because there was only one kind of medicine.

After receiving the medicine and returning to the original place to sit down, Du Le fed Huamanlou the medicine.Hua Manlou thought about it, it would be fine for him to drink a little of the heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine, besides, his eyes have been feeling very uncomfortable for the past few days.The taste of the medicine is very bland. It must have been cooked many times, and it is better than nothing.

"Mom, I'm hungry..." beside Hua Manlou, a mother was holding a child, and the child said weakly in the mother's arms.Wei Niang held a bowl in her hand, but there was not even a single grain of rice in the bowl.She shook the child gently, patted the child and said: "Little treasure, sleep well, and there will be food again at dawn."

The child obediently closed his eyes, and after a while said, "Mom, I'm still very hungry..."

The mother looked at the big iron pot, and there were two big men in Tsing Yi standing beside the iron pot.After thinking about it, she was still ready to get up and try.At this time, someone suddenly pulled her, and the mother looked back, and saw a very poor child smiling at her.

The woman was about to get rid of him, but she didn't have the energy to take care of other children!But the child made a silent movement with trembling hands, and took out a rice cake from his arms.

The woman looked at the rice cake with shining eyes, and the child also opened his eyes, saw the rice cake, and shouted in surprise: "Mom!"

The woman immediately covered the child's mouth.She looked at the other party tentatively, and the child was still smiling, and brought the rice cakes over.A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy next to him was very disdainful, and patted the child's head: "You are so kind! If you have such a good thing, of course you have to keep it for yourself!"

The child is still smiling.The young man was helpless.

The woman took the rice cakes, lowered her head and thanked in a low voice, covered the rice cakes with her sleeves, broke them bit by bit and put them into the child's mouth.

They had done very carefully, but they were still discovered.A child behind them poked his head over by chance, saw the rice cakes, then looked at the woman and the child, immediately licked his lips, reached out and grabbed the rice cakes and began to eat them.The mother's rice cake was taken away, she exclaimed, got up and went back to grab it.The child ran away while chewing, accidentally choked and coughed violently.

"He has cake in his hand!" More and more people noticed, and the more people looted, the whole ruined temple was in chaos.

Hua Manlou's face turned pale, he really didn't expect such a result.The crowd pushed and shoved, and Du Le could only hug Hua Manlou and drag him out, trying to drag him away from the crowd who were already crazy about a rice cake.

The big men in green clothes rushed over immediately, shouting and waving wooden sticks, hitting the legs of that person as long as they were still running.After a while, the commotion subsided.One of them picked up the bread that fell on the ground and asked coldly, "Whose is this?"

No one answered.

The man shouted angrily again: "Whose is this!" With a clatter, the snow on the roof fell down.

The snatching child pointed tremblingly at the woman.The woman who was huddled in the crowd hugged her child tightly, and when she saw the big man walking away from the crowd, her eyes dodged and wandered, and she finally stretched out her hand in the direction of Huamanlou: "He."

The big man stopped and turned to Huamanlou.Du Le yelled, the woman hugged the child tightly and turned her back.

Da Khan grabbed Hua Manlou and lifted him up.But he saw that although one eye of this child was blurred, the other eye was very clear.He looked at himself calmly, unmoved at all.
