The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

The little novice didn't seem to like to talk too much with people, and when Jiang Ziyan talked to him, he didn't talk too much.

"Benefactor, the poor monk likes to be quiet, and likes to collect herbs."

Jiang Ziyan understood, this is a person with clear hobbies, he knows what he wants, and he doesn't compete with those little monks in front of him.

Wait, "Are you a practicing monk here? Not a little novice monk?"

"Before my Buddha, all living beings are equal, no monks or novices."

"But you are really good at finding places. This place is remote, few people come, and the scenery is so beautiful. If it were me, I would like it here too."

The little monk didn't answer his words.

"My name is Jiang Ziyan, what's your name?"

"The name of the poor monk is Yuanchi."

"Yuanchi? It's quite nice. By the way, you are young, why did you become a monk so early? And you talk about a poor monk, and you seem to be very old." Jiang Ziyan said with a smile.

He was still a little vigilant, he hadn't seen anyone else in most of the back mountain except this monk named Yuanchi, which was a bit strange.

"The poor monk is not young anymore, he is now in his twenties."

Jiang Ziyan was surprised, the other party's face didn't look like a 29 person at all.

"Do you usually collect herbs in this temple? After a long time, don't you feel boring?"

"No. My Buddha is merciful. It is not easy to have a shelter. No matter how long it takes, it will not feel boring."

These words sound a bit sad, the world is so big, there is only a place to live here as a monk, presumably this is also a person with a miserable family background.

Jiang Ziyan didn't ask any more questions about this. He saw that the other party had been picking up medicinal materials with a small hoe. He remembered that he had read a book with pictures of various medicinal materials because of his interest. Although he didn't remember all of them, he finally remembered some of them. .

Coincidentally, he happened to recognize the herb that Yuan Chi was holding in his hand.

"The plant you dug up is Clover, right?"

In Yuan Chi's calm and unwavering eyes, there was a trace of fluctuation, "The benefactor knows?"

Jiang Ziyan nodded, "Stop calling me a benefactor, it sounds so awkward."

Yuan Chi didn't speak, Jiang Ziyan thought to himself, this monk is still a bit stubborn.

But people are extra tolerant of most beautiful things.

Jiang Ziyan said: "I read in the book that this clover has the effects of dispelling wind and phlegm, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. If it is used externally, it can also treat poisonous snake bites and bruises."

Yuan Chi looked at him, these words finally caught his attention, he said: "Young Master Jiang is a man of talent and learning, just now the poor monk was rude."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Jiang Ziyan squatted aside to watch him pick herbs. Whenever he picked a plant, if he recognized it, he would talk about the effect of this plant.

After a while, Yuan Chi's attitude towards him changed greatly. From avoiding him at first and treating him indifferently, to now taking the initiative to ask questions, this is really a qualitative leap for Jiang Ziyan.

For example, now, "Mr. Jiang, do you know the medicinal effect of this kind of goosegrass? There are incomplete records in the books of the poor monk."

Jiang Ziyan took a look. Fortunately, this kind of herbal medicine is relatively common, so he still remembers it.

"This goosegrass is mainly used for clearing away heat and promoting dampness. It can also treat fever caused by summer heat. It is said in the book that it has the miraculous effect of preventing epidemics and resisting plague."

"So that's it, it can actually prevent epidemics."

After some conversation, Jiang Ziyan discovered that Yuan Chi was actually a half-doctor, not even a doctor.

He learned all the medicinal materials and medical knowledge from books, which is the so-called self-study.

And from what he said, it seems that his books that record medicinal materials and medical skills are not detailed, or even incomplete.

Yuan Chi hasn't talked to others for a long time, because he has developed an indifferent temperament, and he didn't expect to chat with a stranger so well today.

Moreover, Jiang Ziyan taught him a lot about medicinal materials, and he wanted to thank him.

So Yuanchi said: "Young Master Jiang, the humble house is simple, would you like to come up and have a cup of tea?"

Jiang Ziyan chatted with him very well, anyway, this meeting is fine, and said: "Okay, but let me tell you quietly, I actually don't know how to drink tea."

Every time he was offered good tea, he felt that the teas all tasted the same.

His straightforward temperament has attracted Yuan Chi's favor, he smiled and said: "Young Master Jiang is really different."

It was the first time Jiang Ziyan saw him smile. He suddenly understood why the king of the Daughter Kingdom was so reluctant in the book of his previous life. This monk really had a pretty smile.

"Look at how good-looking you are when you smile. You should smile more when you have nothing to do. The book talks about smiling. It's less than ten years old."

Jiang Ziyan followed Yuanchi up from the back mountain, but he didn't go to the boundary of the fasting room on the side of the backyard, but turned to the right, passed through several paths, and there was a single small house standing in it.

This place is really ingenious, surrounded by trees and lush bushes, it is difficult for ordinary people to find.

"You really answered a poem here."

"What poem?"

"Sit alone in the secluded grove, playing the qin and screaming again. But you don't play the qin."

Yuan Chi pushed open the door of the courtyard, the whole courtyard was very simple, and the wooden shelves placed in the courtyard were all dried medicinal materials.

Yuan Chi unloaded the pannier on his back, pushed open the door, and said, "Come in, there are few people here, poor monk, you sit for a while, poor monk to make tea."

Jiang Ziyan nodded and said yes.

He looked around the room, and felt that Yuanchi, apart from the title of poor monk, was really not a monk, but a heavenly fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

After the tea was brewed, Yuan Chi brought it over and sat opposite him, "There is no good tea, but Mr. Jiang said that he doesn't know how to taste tea, so he just made do with it."

"It doesn't matter, tea is a taste to me, as long as it can quench my thirst anyway."

Yuan Chi smiled, it had been a long time since he had talked with others so happily.

The two chatted for a while, but most of the chats were about medical classics, medical classics and the like.

Jiang Ziyan thought that it was almost time for her to come out, and Marquis Wu An probably arrived on the mountain by now, so she got up to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he heard scattered footsteps outside the door.

He thought that the person outside might be someone who entered here by mistake like him, and was about to open the door, but Yuan Chi grabbed him and stopped him.

It was only then that Jiang Ziyan realized that something was wrong with the expression on Yuanchi's face. He frowned, showing some disgust and some fear.

He whispered: "Don't go out yet, you go hide in the cabinet for a while."

Jiang Ziyan felt strange, why did it feel like the people playing outside seemed to catch J., and he was the husband of J. who needed to be hidden?

Regardless of whether Jiang Ziyan agreed or not, Yuanchi pulled him to the side of the cabinet, then quickly opened the cabinet and pushed him in.

Finally, he said silently: "Don't make a sound."

Just as Yuan Chi closed the cabinet door, the door opened.

The visitor seemed to have been familiar with it for a long time, and he directly opened the door without even knocking.

Jiang Ziyan in the cabinet tried hard to see the situation in the room through the gap of the cabinet, but the gap was too small and the angle was wrong, so he couldn't see clearly.

At this time, the visitor had already sat down at the place he had just made, and there was Jiang Ziyan's teacup on the table, which contained the tea that Yuan Chi had refilled for him just now, and he hadn't had time to drink it yet.

He heard the man say: "Today, Ah Chi's temper is much better than before, and he even prepared tea for me in advance."

Yuan Chi didn't refute. According to the past, he would definitely say that the other party was passionate, but now he didn't say a word.

If it was said that the cup of tea was not prepared for him, this person would be suspicious, and would realize that there was a second person here, and the new friend he made today would be in danger.

It's just that today I thought it was still early, so I invited Mr. Jiang in to sit for a while, but I didn't expect this person to come here much earlier than usual.It just happened to hit a piece.

Seeing Yuanchi ignoring him, this person didn't get angry, but asked again on his own: "What did you do today?"

Yuan Chi's tone was cold and hard, "Collecting herbs."

"Knowing that you love to study medicine, I brought you a few more medical books this time."

This Yuanchi didn't refuse, he was unavoidably lonely on this mountain alone, relying on these medical books and collecting herbs to pass the time.

"Thank you."

The visitor seemed much happier, just because of Yuan Chi's thank you.

"It's been a good month. If there is anything missing, remember to tell the host, and I will send someone to bring it to you."

"Also, it's cold on the mountain at night, so be careful, don't freeze yourself."

Jiang Ziyan hid in the cabinet, even though he didn't see who was coming, but hearing these words, he felt something was wrong.

This man's words were full of concern for Yuan Chi, and it was not just a normal relationship, it was obvious that he admired him, a liking between men and women, just like him and Lin Zhao.

Yuan Chi didn't seem to like him, and was very indifferent to him. Sometimes he said a few words, but Yuan Chi might not answer him.

"By the way, a new dim sum shop has opened in Jingzhong. I remember that there was one you liked most before, and I brought you some specially today."

"That was before, I don't like eating now."

The man sighed, and his words were full of affection, "It's okay, don't eat if you don't like it, I'll bring you something else next time I come."

"Looking at the weather, it might rain recently. Be careful to put away the medicinal materials in your yard. Don't get drenched by the rain, and don't let yourself get drenched."

This person didn't care whether Yuan Chi ignored him, and just talked to himself, full of care and love.

Jiang Ziyan was forced to listen to this conversation, guessing in his heart, maybe Yuan Chi is a straight man who hates the habit of breaking his sleeves, so he hates the man who talks outside so much!

At this moment, he heard a few crisp sounds of dishes colliding. The man seemed to have brought food, and Jiang Ziyan could smell the aroma.

"Today I brought your favorite crispy chicken, fried meatballs, and a few home-cooked dishes."

Jiang Ziyan groaned secretly in his heart, did this person plan to leave after eating here?

Isn't he going to stay in the cabinet for a long time?

After finally finishing the meal, it was already noon.

"I'm going back first, and I'll see you next month."

"No." Yuan Chi replied indifferently.

After watching the man leave the courtyard, Yuan Chi closed the door, and then released Jiang Ziyan from the cabinet.

"I made you laugh."

Jiang Ziyan could feel that Yuanchi was very depressed.

"It's okay, don't worry, these are your private affairs, I won't talk about them outside."

"Thank you." Yuan Chi gave him a thankful look.

"He shouldn't have gone far. You can go out later. You must remember that you must not let him know that you have been here, you know?"

Jiang Ziyan wondered, "Why?"

"You don't need to know the reason, you just need to know, pretending not to know anything, can save your life."

After Jiang Ziyan heard this sentence, he was very curious about the person who came just now.According to what Yuan Chi said, this man seemed to be very domineering, and anyone who came to him might be killed.

What sick syndrome is this?Could it be that in the legend, he trapped him and saw me alone, so that he could pretend that I was the only one in his world?

It is conceivable that this person is not seriously ill.

"I see, I will go directly to the fasting room in the backyard in a while, and I will go down the mountain after lunch."

Waking up early in the morning, I have already digested the food I ate.Now his muscles are rumbling, and he hid in the cabinet just now, thanks to his stomach being strong enough, he didn't make a gurgling sound, otherwise he would be finished if he was discovered.

Before leaving, Jiang Ziyan said again: "Can I come to you next time?"

"Don't come on the fifteenth day." This was a disguised promise.

"Okay, next time I'll bring you some good things, so that you can pass the time when you have time."

Coming out of Yuanchi, Jiang Ziyan detoured a bit before reaching the fasting room he had booked.No way, the houses here look so similar that he really didn't recognize them.

In the fasting room, Lin Zhao has already ordered food and has been waiting for him.

"How do you know it's this one? I'm so hungry, let me eat." Jiang Ziyan cleaned his hands, and hurriedly sat down at the table to eat.

"I asked the little monk outside, why have you been away for so long? Where have you been?"
