Dashun, Yong'an seventh year, Yangzhou.
Late at night, Lin Ruhailin, the censor of Youqiandu, was in the mansion.
In the back house, Lin Daiyu, who was lying on the bed, her delicate body covered with a thin quilt, slowly woke up.
She stayed there for a long time.
That passage kept echoing in my mind:
Lin Daiyu came to modern times in her dream and obtained the super-time historian Chu Zhen... looking for the leper in the ruined temple outside the city.
The things in the dream seemed to be illusions but not illusions, they seemed fake but they were real, so she couldn't tell the difference. If it was fake, why did she still remember it so clearly?
"The Immortal Official Chu Zhen is trying to find a place to visit, and there is a leprosy-headed monk in a ruined temple outside the city."
Lin Daiyu gradually woke up and decided to tell her father what happened in the dream no matter what tomorrow morning.
But suddenly.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, which startled her, and she quickly called out: "Snow Goose, Snow Goose!"
After calling her many times, the maid Xue Yan, who was sleeping in the room outside, finally woke up and asked the girl what was wrong.
Lin Daiyu was lying on the bed and thought that it was late at night, but someone was walking quickly outside the door, and she could still vaguely hear voices, so something must be going on.
And something happened last night when her mother was seriously ill and her father urgently called for a doctor from the city...
"Xueyan, get up quickly, light the lamp, and bring me my clothes!"
Lin Daiyu was frightened and stood up in a panic. When she was about to get out of bed, she suddenly felt something was wrong with her feet.
An extra pair of shoes on both feet.
Her heart suddenly trembled. She stretched out her hand and touched it. On her smooth little feet, there was a pair of men's shoes with a large size...these were the shoes of Uncle Chu! !
"Mother!!"
Feeling extremely anxious and unable to wait for Xueyan to light the lamp, Lin Daiyu got up in the dark, still wearing Uncle Chu's shoes on her little feet, and went to look for her own clothes.
"Why are you so anxious, girl?"
The maid Xue Yan stood up quickly and reluctantly lit the lamp in the dark, but the girl had already put on some clothes, put on her shoes and socks, took a pair of something in her hand and was about to go out.
Xue Yan quickly picked up the lantern and caught up.
The master and servant went out of the backyard and saw three or four lanterns burning in front of the door of the side room next to the main room from a distance.
Xue Yan subconsciously said: "Girl, it's not good, madam..."
She shut up just in time.
Even though he was still young, he knew that it was something he couldn't say, and saying so would only make his young lady even more sad.
The young lady looked eager and walked forward quickly. Xueyan trotted to follow with a lantern in hand. When she came to the door of the penthouse, she saw three or four women standing there, whispering.
When they heard someone coming, the ladies all turned their heads to look.
In the dark night, under the light, the wrinkled old faces of the women were extremely frightening, making Xueyan stunned, as if he saw a ghost standing in front of the door.
It is the soul of Mrs. Mennei that she is seducing, and the life of Mrs. Mennei is also being sought...
"Mother!!"
Lin Daiyu shed tears and wanted to enter the door to see her mother.
"Girl, don't go in yet, the doctor is treating his wife."
Her nanny, Grandma Wang, stopped her.
Lin Daiyu insisted on entering. While the two parties were arguing, the door was opened from the inside by the maid inside, with a gloomy expression on her face.
Before she could speak, Lin Daiyu had already entered the door and came to the house. She saw her father sitting in front of the bed where her mother had lowered the curtain, and next to her was Dr. Zhang, who lived in her home.
Not caring anymore, Lin Daiyu covered her face with her sleeves and quickly rushed to her mother's side to cry.
Doctor Zhang turned around, looked at each other with Master Lin, sighed slightly in his heart, stood up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Jia is already terminally ill. Even if she survives tonight, she will surely die within two or three days.
"Daiyu, why are you... awake?"
Lin Ruhai, who is now in his forties, looks sad. His wife is critically ill, but his daughter is also in poor health. He originally wanted to wait until his wife couldn't bear it anymore, then wake his daughter up and let her come to see her mother for the last time. Who knows that she is here now? .
"My son..."
On the hospital bed, the haggard Jia Min called her daughter softly, raised her hand with difficulty, and placed it on her cheek.
"mom……"
Tears filled Lin Daiyu's eyes, but she also knew that now was not the time to cry. Holding back her tears, she held her mother's hand and said eagerly to her: "Mom will be fine. I just had a dream, and there was an immortal official in the dream... …”
She told the story exactly as it happened in the dream, including the words written by Chu Zhen in the history book, exactly as they were written.
Afraid that her parents would not believe her, she took out the shoes in her hand and showed them to her mother first before giving them to her father.
It's true that it's a bit indecent, but these shoes are really weird.
Even Jia Min, who was constantly stroking her daughter's cheeks with her hands for fear that she would die next moment, was attracted by the shoes at this moment, and her spirits were lifted a little.
Lin Ruhai was even more shocked. After taking the shoes from her daughter, she first looked through them carefully and then touched them repeatedly with her hands. She felt that although the shoes looked ordinary, they were not made of cloth or wood.
It's a bit like boiling animal leather into glue and then reshaping it!
But no matter what, his wife is already like this, so what is there to hesitate about?
"Come on, come on!"
After handing the shoes back to her daughter, Lin Ruhai held his wife's hands tightly for a moment, then let go, walked out of the door, and immediately called for someone to come over.
"Quickly prepare the carriages and horses, and call everyone in the house..."
All the ladies and maids were surprised when they heard this. One of the ladies said, "Master, the city gate hasn't been opened yet."
Lin Ruhai said: "I will personally take people out to look for it!"
When the ladies heard this, they were speechless. The master is now a high-ranking official in Yangzhou City, and it only takes a word to open the city gate.
inside the house.
Lin Daiyu didn't dare to sleep for a moment and talked to her mother's bedside to cheer her up. Jia Min couldn't bear her daughter's frightened appearance and urged her to go to bed, comforting her that she was fine.
But Lin Daiyu refused to go to bed and stayed with her mother.
Until long after dawn.
"The master is back... Girl, I found it, I found it! What a scabby monk! What a smelly, scabby monk!"
The voice of the maid Xue Yan came from outside the door, and immediately after, she rushed in to tell Lin Daiyu the good news.
Lin Daiyu's heart trembled, and the picture of Chu Zhen writing in the historical records appeared in her mind. As long as the leper was found, her mother's illness would definitely be cured.
Thinking of this, she finally let go of her worries and saw her mother fainting on her body after calling out.
"Daiyu? Don't scare your mother."
Jia Min hurriedly reached out to touch her daughter's face and found that she was just exhausted and fell asleep, so she felt relieved and asked the maid to take her back.
As soon as her daughter left, Jia Min saw her husband walking into her room through the curtain with a monk covered in sores and wearing tattered monk robes.
The monk was also strange. When he saw her when he came in, he cried out in a strange voice, "Poor, poor, so I have this disease. Although I am rich, I am also pitiful." Then he said the names of many medicinal materials, all of which were strange. It was something strange, so her husband hurriedly sent someone to look for it in the city.
Not even a pulse diagnosis!
For a moment, Jia Min believed her daughter's words a little more. The Chu Immortal Official her daughter said was indeed miraculous, and she didn't know what her daughter had said and done to Chu Immortal Official in her dream.
