"Girl, you..." Yun Xi just exclaimed, then quickly covered his mouth, raised his ears and listened carefully to hear that there was no sound outside, and then lowered his voice and said, "Why are you injured?"
Her eyes were fixed on Xia Houshu's arm, which was bright red, dyeing the original bright red into dark red. She couldn't tell how badly it was injured. She seemed a little at a loss when she was anxious, and couldn't help but murmured
: "Didn't you say you were going for a walk? What happened? Is the injury serious? Do you want to tell the princess?"
"Shh-" Xia Houshu made a silent gesture towards her. She did not have the thought or energy to answer Yun Xi's series of questions one by one at the moment. She just pretended to be calm and said: "Don't worry about so many things for now. I have just thought of a solution.
Once the bleeding has stopped, please give me medicine quickly. If you give me a good hug, it will hurt me to death!"
After saying that, she gritted her teeth and slowly took off her outer garment, and then took off her inner garment to one side, revealing her left arm. The scarlet wound about two finger joints long was set off by her fair and tender skin.
It was particularly eye-catching. However, although the wound looked hideous and terrifying, it did not damage the bones, and after simple treatment, the blood had coagulated, but there was some redness and swelling on the side.
However, Yun Xi was so frightened that she seemed to have lost her soul. He stared at her wound for a long time without daring to speak.
Xia Houshu knew that not saying anything would be difficult to deal with, so he simply said: "I just met a bad guy in the bamboo forest. I underestimated the enemy." After saying that, she glanced at Yun Xi and said, "This is not a big deal. Don't go anywhere.
You're talking nonsense, especially if you don't let your mother know!"
"Meet a bad person?" Yun Xi was very surprised, "This is Huguo Temple, how could you meet a bad person?"
"Who knows." Xia Houshu said nonchalantly. After saying that, she couldn't help but think of the two men in purple, and wondered where they were at the moment and whether they would come to trouble her again.
"They say this is the pure land of Buddhism. Who knows if it harbors filth and evil," Xia Houshu said suddenly.
Yun Xi knew in her heart that Xia Houshu had a natural resistance to these Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. She took the initiative to ignore the sarcasm in her words and asked: "What about the villain who hurt you? Have you seen who he is? Can he?
Will he come to trouble you again?"
The Huguo Temple is so big, it is not difficult to find someone. However, Xiahou Shu had just been in the limelight during the day for saving the He family's children, so now he was more like a living target.
Thinking of rescuing people during the day, Yun Xi immediately thought of the man who claimed to be a scholar. They had a quarrel, and she wondered if Xia Houshu had been retaliated for something bad.
"It's not him, he doesn't have the guts." Xia Houshu saw through Yun Xi's thoughts and pretended to smile lightly, "As the saying goes, it's rude to come back but not reciprocate. Look at me, I'm the kind of person who suffers the consequences and keeps silent.
Someone? You have to pay it back in full no matter what."
Yunxi was a little confused.
Xia Houshu said again: "Don't worry, the person who hurt me will never come to trouble me again in this life."
As for the other two, it's hard to say.
Yunxi vaguely knew what Xia Houshu meant by "never coming for trouble again in this life", and she didn't dare to ask more questions. But she couldn't calm down in her heart, and said worriedly: "But you are injured like this, that person can do it
How cruel! Now we live in the same courtyard as the princess, and we can't see each other when we look up, how can she not find out? Rather than being discovered by her one day, it's better to confess."
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" Xia Houshu frowned, "I just got out of confinement, and my mother took me to Huguo Temple for no reason, and then asked me to ask for some kind of marriage sign. What on earth was my mother thinking about me?
We haven’t figured it out yet, but if she knows that I ran away privately and got injured, will I still be free in the future?"
Yun Xi knew that he had touched Xia Houshu's reverse scale, so he stopped insisting. Then he picked up the small porcelain bottle, opened it, put it to the tip of his nose, sniffed, and asked: "What is this? Where does it come from?"
"It was given by someone else. I heard it was gold sore medicine." Xia Houshu explained. She had just smelled it, and the smell in the medicine bottle was very similar to the gold sore medicine she used to use. It's just that they came here to add incense this time.
She never thought that such a thing would happen, so she didn't carry any medicine with similar effects. Now the situation forced her to take a gamble and treat a dead horse as a living horse. If it were true that the master and servant made a show for her
Look, if you tricked her into using poisonous medicine, she would be doomed.
Yun Xi immediately caught the key point. She looked horrified and said in surprise: "What does the girl mean, does anyone know that you are injured?"
Xia Houshu nodded, thought for a while and then said: "It's dark at night, so the other party may not be able to see clearly. Even if the other party sees my face clearly, they may not be able to know who I am."
Xia Houshu said this, but he was slightly worried in his heart. They were so close at that time. As long as the other party was not blind, they should be able to see his appearance clearly. With their methods, if they really wanted to check their identity, they probably wouldn't be able to.
How difficult would it be.
Seeing that Xia Houshu was distracted, Yunxi stretched out a hand and waved it in front of her: "Girl, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Xia Houshu came back to his senses, curled his lips and said, "I can't worry about that anymore, just apply it on me quickly."
"But..." Yun Xi hesitated. As a maid, she not only knew not to talk nonsense, nor to use medicine indiscriminately. Moreover, this was a medicine of unknown origin, so it couldn't be used.
Seeing that she made no next move, Xia Houshu raised his head and glanced at her, wondering: "What are you doing standing still? Give me medicine quickly. Do you want to watch my wound become infected and suppurative?"
Yun Xi couldn't argue with her, so he decided to do it and carefully applied a layer of medicinal powder on her wound according to Xia Houshu's request.
Xia Houshu gritted his teeth and endured the stinging pain caused by the application of the medicine. At the same time, he did not forget to comfort Yun Xi: "I know you are worried about me. But don't worry, this medicine won't kill me. My life is still alive."
I will also pay attention to my mother. As long as you and I don't tell you, who will know? Besides, didn't you show any flaws just now in front of your mother?"
"you are always like this."
With red eyes, Yun Xi continued to apply medicine to Xia Hou, while muttering like an old woman. After applying the medicine, she cleaned up the medicine bottles and bloody clothes, and finally found some clean clothes for her.
After putting it on, I turned off the lights and went to bed.
The room was extremely hot and stuffy at night, and the wound hurt terribly. Xia Houshu was obviously very sleepy and tired, but he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed. His mind was completely out of control, and all he could think about was what was going on in the mountains behind.
After being inexplicably involved in a bloody storm, how could she still be so naive as to think that this matter would just go away?
Xia Houshu carefully considered the causes and consequences, and felt that everything about this matter was strange.
The terrain of Huguo Temple is steep. There is only one lane up the mountain, which is guarded day and night by the monks in the temple. Moreover, it recently collapsed due to continuous heavy rains. It is still under repair and cannot pass people. Even if the man in purple and the man in green can
In the name of burning incense and worshiping Buddha, they followed the crowd up the stone path, but how did the dozen or so well-trained and well-equipped killers sneak in without being noticed by others?
From the dress and manner of the two men, one could tell at a glance that they were by no means ordinary people, but they also did not look like treacherous or evil people. Especially the arrogant, rude and unreasonable man in Tsing Yi, whose mentality was not compatible with martial arts.
Up and down is definitely not something ordinary people can drive.
However, he tried his best to protect the man in purple, which shows that the man in purple has an extraordinary identity.
What is their true identity?
What kind of hatred is being pursued by so many people?
What is the hidden secret hidden in Huguo Temple?
These questions kept lingering and circling in her mind, weighing on her heart like a dark cloud and occupying her thoughts.
She couldn't wait to see Xia Houyi. He was so smart and he would definitely be able to find the answer for her.
Also tossing and turning was Yunxi.
She had been with Xia Houshu for almost seven years and had already become Xia Houshu's confidant. Over the years, she probably knew more about Xia Houshu's secrets than Zhong Yuqing, a mother. But this time Xia Houshu didn't tell her what happened.
What, what are the plans next, she could only watch anxiously. On the other hand, she was worried that Zhong Yuqing would see some clues.
It was too difficult for her to follow such an uneasy master!
At the second watch, it started raining heavily outside again, taking away the muggy heat in the air. Moisture gradually poured in. Xia Houshu felt that the wound was numb from pain, and he gradually fell asleep.
But Yun Xi didn't sleep all night. She watched helplessly as the sky turned from pitch black to faint blue, and then was replaced by orange-red morning glow. Until the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the house through the paper window sash.
The terrible night was finally over.
The rain gradually became lighter and pattered, like broken beads lingering endlessly. The morning after being washed by the rain was particularly cool. The Zen courtyard was quiet, rain and mist were thick, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of soil and grass. The pilgrims staying overnight were all
Still immersed in sleep.
Yun Xi got up early and planned to change Xia Houshu's dressing and re-bandage his wounds before everyone woke up.
As soon as she walked to Xia Houshu's bed, she noticed something was wrong, almost instinctively. She reached out to explore Xia Houshu's forehead, only to find that she was severely burned, and she panicked instantly.
Yunxi followed the method that Xia Houshu taught her before, took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and carefully analyzed how to deal with it next so as not to attract attention.
Xia Houshu was injured, and the cause of the injury was extremely strange. If she asked a master with medical skills from the temple to see her, then the things she had repeatedly warned to keep secret would be exposed. Zhong Yuqing knew that she would definitely pursue the case, which would inevitably cause trouble.
There was an uproar.
But if she doesn't seek medical treatment in time, if something happens to Xia Houshu, as a personal maid, she not only fails to report the knowledge, but also serves improperly. Zhong Yuqing, who loves her daughter very much, will not let her go...
What to do? To tell or not to tell?
Yun Xi was in a dilemma. Xia Houshu, who was on the couch, seemed to sense something. He suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Yun Xi's hand and said vaguely: "Don't tell others, especially my mother. I can just lie down for a while."
Yes, nothing will happen."
"What should I do?" Yun Xi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He was so anxious that tears came out, and he said in a crying voice, "Girl, tell me, what should I do?"
"Don't worry..." Xia Houshu tried his best to open his eyes and looked at Yunxi. He found that her eyes were black and blue and her eyes were bloodshot. He knew that she had not slept all night. She was funny and angry, slowly
Said: "What a silly girl, she can't keep her composure at all. I said nothing serious will happen to me, what are you worried about?"
"How come it's okay?" Yun Xi pouted unconvinced and reached out to grab her hand, "Try my hand and see how burned you are."
Xia Houshu only felt that her hand was very soft and a little cold, and he couldn't help but want to get closer. But she finally resisted the urge and said: "The fever must have been caused by the failure to treat the wound in time last night.
It doesn’t matter, it will subside after a while.”
Yun Xi was still worried. She knew that Xia Houshu was a martial arts practitioner and her constitution was stronger than that of ordinary women, but how could the fever subside in such a short time? Besides, it was already dawn, and others would come in to wait on her soon.
Wash up, maybe the princess will ask her to come over and have breakfast together.
The maids in the house were easy to deal with, as long as they were ordered not to serve them closely, but how could the princess keep it a secret? This chapter has been completed!
