Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 40
Wu Xian pinched Wu Lie's cheek with his hand, opened his mouth, poured a glass of water into Wu Lie's stomach, poured another glass of cold water into his stomach, rinsed off the residue in his mouth, and looked at the wet hands with disgust. Yes, it was full of tea from Wu Lie's mouth, and as soon as he wiped it off his clean and silky pajamas, Wu Lie was still limp on the bed like a dead man, but he was heavier, just like a dead man.

Looking at Mrs. Wu sleeping in the bed, although the years have left traces, she is still a middle-aged lady, with a lingering charm, no wonder her daughter Wu Qingying is also so beautiful, with the shadow of an old lady in her eyebrows and eyes, Wu Xian doesn't want to To start with women, let alone a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

Then he turned around and walked out, as if a gust of wind had blown by, lifting the curtain of the window, and closing the door with a creak.

"True sister, I died so badly." Zhu Jiuzhen woke up startled, not sure if it was a dream or real, a wail came from his ear, Zhu Jiuzhen curled up pitifully at the corner of the bed, biting his lips tightly, his pupils constricted and dull, She looked a little pale and pitiful, this was not the first time Zhu Jiuzhen had a nightmare, so she was already a little used to it, and at this time the breeze was blowing, and the faint moonlight was shining through the curtain like a stream. The house was flowing, another gust of evil wind blew up, the doors and windows were all open, Zhu Jiuzhen's eyes were full of terror and fear.

"Sister Zhen, I'm starving to death. Uncle Zhu sits below with candles and candles, burning incense continuously. The meals are delicious and delicious, with plenty of fish and meat, but I don't have any money. I'm starving to death." Zhu Jiuzhen saw it like this A figure drifted past in a daze. He was dressed in tattered white clothes, and the tattered cloth strips were even floating in the clothes room. His hair was scattered on his head, and his face was covered with red blood.

"Ah." A piercing scream broke the silent night, the candles in the manor were lit up one after another, the whole Zhuangzi seemed to wake up, people were full of anger, and there were sounds of activities and footsteps inside and outside the door.

"True sister, burn some incense and paper wax with me at the place where I fell off the cliff, otherwise I will haunt you and your little lover for the rest of my life." Leaving a quiet sentence, the ghost floated away, only A pool of dried blood remained outside the house.

...

Wei Bi squatted down and touched the blood on the ground, then put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, and looked at Zhu Jiuzhen who was squatting in the corner of the bed in a daze. He was not as clever and beautiful as usual, and felt pity in his heart, and said impatiently to the slave next to him : "Master hasn't woken up yet?"

"Young Master Wei, Xiao Gao has already gone to invite him, and he will be here in a while." The servant bowed slightly to signal, and said politely and respectfully.Hearing the servant's words, Wei Bi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: If the master comes, the master will come.

Wei Bi glanced at his junior sister behind him, and signaled her to comfort Zhu Jiuzhen with his eyes. Although Wu Qingying was unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to go into the room to comfort Zhu Jiuzhen.

"It's not good, it's not good." A panicked shout came from afar, and Wei Bi's originally relaxed mood became tense again, and he looked at the place where the sound came from from a distance; Wu Qingying patted Zhu Jiuzhen's back He stopped his hands and looked over; some of the servants were nervous, some were puzzled, what bad things could happen in the village?Only Zhu Jiuzhen is still lost and isolated from the world.

"It's not good, the master is unconscious, no matter how much you shout, the master can't wake up." The servant hurried over in a panic, and said in a worried and urgent tone.

"What?" Wei Bi took a big step, holding the slightly thin servant tightly with his hands, his eyes were sharp and cold, as if the servant was a villain who harmed the master, the pain of pinching the servant's hand felt like falling into an abyss Generally speaking, it was as if facing a fierce tiger and hungry wolf.

"Mr. Wei, let's go see the master." The servant said with some fear. Wu Qingying didn't care about Zhu Jiuzhen, but looked in Wu Lie's direction with concern and worry, and at the same time looked at Wei Bi with hope in his eyes, looking forward to the future. I can make up my mind to save my father.

Wei Bi regained his composure for a while, and immediately said firmly, "Steward Li immediately sent someone to invite all the doctors, big and small, from a hundred miles around, and said, 'If you cure the master, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold', and Xiong Huwei went to Yaojiazhuang to invite him. Second Uncle Yao, the two of you are here to take care of my cousin, and I will go to the master's room to see what's going on."

One day passed and it was dusk. Although everyone tried their best to take care of Wu Lie, Wu Lie still snored like thunder and did not wake up, and everyone was even more helpless.

In the main hall, Wei Bi paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, his face worried and urgent, and he looked into the distance from time to time, hoping for someone from afar.

A beautiful figure entered the main hall, holding a mahogany plate with a bowl of hot soup on it, Wu Qingying gently put the hot soup on the pear wood high table, worried and said: "Brother, mother ordered the servants to cook bird's nest , let me bring it, and told me that you have not eaten for a day, and now you are the backbone of my Wu family, you can't starve to death anymore."

Wei Bi was hungry, but he had no appetite. At this time, his junior sister spoke a word of concern, and Wei Bi's heart immediately warmed up. He looked at Wu Qingying with tender eyes, gently held Wu Qingying's tender hands with his hands, and said firmly: "Junior sister , I will definitely cure Master.”

With support in her heart, Wu Qingying leaned against Wei Bi's arms and said softly, "Brother, I believe in you."

And at nightfall, everyone gathered outside Wu Lie's resting room, none of the sent people came back, and no one came back. Madam Wu was so anxious that she looked at Wei Bi and said, "Bi'er, why didn't any of the servants come back."

Wei Bi was also anxious and didn't know the details. It stands to reason that the nearby town is not far away, and one day is enough time to go back and forth. , someone must be playing tricks.

Wei Bi comforted Mrs. Wu, and said in a firm but calm tone: "Master, don't worry. I will go to invite Second Uncle Yao in person tomorrow. With Second Uncle in charge, I won't be afraid of all young people."

Mrs. Wu was a bit hesitant, if Wei Bi also left, then there would only be a group of women and servants in the Wu family village, without a backbone, but Wei Bi's words were well-founded, I don't know how Wu Lie's situation is, this plan is indeed the best good strategy.

And the people who went down the mountain to invite the doctor were guests at Wu Xian's home. The hospitable Wu Xian entertained everyone with "good wine and good food", blindfolded everyone's eyes and covered their mouths, and only relaxed when eating. Bu, who opened his mouth, wanted to entertain everyone for a few days like this, and only let everyone go after it was done.

It was night again, and Zhu Jiuzhen didn't do anything. Wu Xian didn't know if it was because Zhu Jiuzhen was so scared all day long, so he stayed in the house and didn't go out for a whole day.

Be gentle tonight, don't frighten Sister Zhu.
