The midday wind had already brought a hint of warmth, blowing on the young man in the pavilion.
The boy's fair but slightly pale hands occasionally covered his mouth and coughed, and the blankets on his knees shook slightly when he coughed.
The boy turned out to be sitting in a wheelchair.
The chair made of yellow flower wood is engraved with flowers of the four seasons. If you look closely, you can admire the fine craftsmanship.
"Ran Chen." A middle-aged man's voice came from not far outside the pavilion.
"Master." Ranchen was a little surprised. He quickly turned the wheel of the wheelchair with his hands and turned it over. Qiu Moyuan's figure came into view. Behind him, there was an old man with white hair on his back. Holding a medicine box, he seems to be a doctor?
Qiu Moyuan came slowly: "Although the days are getting warmer, you still have to be careful not to catch a cold and pay attention to your body."
The old man behind him came with his hands behind his back, smiling brightly and saying in a loud voice: "The one the city lord asked me to take care of must be this young master. The young master looks good."
Ranchen immediately raised his hands and bowed to Su Chengyan, but was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to call him.
Su Chengyan seemed to notice Ranchen's momentary embarrassment and proactively said, "My surname is Su."
"Mr. Su."
Qiu Moyuan patted Su Chengyan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Doctor Su is also a well-known doctor in the world. I specially invited him back this time just to take care of you."
"Master, you really don't have to worry so much about me. Mr. Su is a doctor who can help the world. Isn't it an insult to his talents to let him stay here for me alone?"
"I'm smart, but I'm just in poor health. As a teacher, how can I not find a good doctor for you?"
Su Chengyan flicked his sleeves: "Young master, don't worry so much. The city lord has helped me save my life. I promised him to come to Yunzhong City to take care of you in order to repay this kindness. Come on, stretch out your hand and let me Take a closer look.”
At this moment, the young man sitting in the wheelchair looked like a child who was being cared for by everyone. He stretched out his hand obediently but at a loss, but his eyes were looking in the direction of the master.
Qiu Moyuan just used her eyes to calm him down, but didn't say anything.
Su Chengyan sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, carefully checking Ranchen's pulse, his eyes were slightly closed, and his head was shaking slightly, as if he was thinking about something. Then he let go of his hand, lifted the blanket from Ranchen's body, and squatted down to check the position of his knee bones.
"Doctor Su, how is your apprentice's injury?"
It seemed as long as a stick of incense had passed. Su Chengyan finally straightened up, and at the same time he did not forget to put the blanket on the knees of the young man in front of him again.
"City Lord, my young master's knees have been broken several times. Now they are dislocated. I can't do anything." Su Chengyan sighed.
Hearing this, Ranchen smiled indifferently, but wanted to comfort Su Chengyan: "Mr. Su, I was already mentally prepared when I had my legs crossed. Mr. Su doesn't have to be like this."
"But the poison on his body..." Su Chengyan was silent for a while.
"Doctor Su, this is actually the reason why I want to invite you into the city." Qiu Moyuan rarely showed a trace of sadness every time he talked about the poison on Ranchen's body. "When I brought the seriously injured Ranchen into the city, Dr. Chen in the city is powerless to do anything to him. Now he is even more exhausted in trying to delay his toxicity."
"Yes, the poison in the young master's body has indeed been relieved a lot by medicine, but it has obviously reached its limit, and I'm afraid it won't be effective anymore. But we are two-hearted," Su Chengyan was even more excited when he said these three words. He stamped his foot angrily, "The poison that is caused by the heart's blood is such a vicious thing. I have never seen the real thing, and there is really no way to crack it. This method of killing people and practicing poison is against family ethics." "
"Doctor Su, is there any way he can temporarily suppress this toxicity?"
"I'll do your best," Su Chengyan unconsciously reached out and touched Ranchen's hair, "This child is so beautiful, I really can't bear to let him die like this. There are countless hermits and masters in the world, so the city lord can feel free to send them People go to look for him, but until then, the young master will be left to me to take care of him."
The midday wind blows through the pavilion.
After asking someone to take Su Chengyan to rest, Ranchen looked at Qiu Moyuan with bright eyes.
Qiu Moyuan sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion.
"Master, why are you so nice to me?"
"Then answer me a question first." Qiu Moyuan did not answer Ranchen's words. Instead, he asked him a question, "It has been more than half a year since you entered the city. Has the resentment in your heart lessened?"
When the young master of the Perak Gate died tragically, a spirit was left in the gate for ten days.
On the last day, Qiu Moyuan drove to Perak Gate with the seriously injured Ranchen and Dr. Chen.
Opening the curtain and looking at the large white flowers and the luxurious gate decorated with countless white strips from a distance, Zhou Hanbai felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
I don’t know if it’s hatred or regret.
Doctor Chen caressed his shoulder gently: "My child, the city lord has entered to express his condolences. There are only two of us in the car at this time. If you are sad, cry out. It will be better for your injury."
He didn't shed a single tear when his kneecap was broken, and he didn't shed a single tear when his heart ached.
But at this moment, tears still fell from his eyes.
This tear also contained too many complicated emotions towards Perak Sect.
After returning to Yunzhong City, Qiu Moyuan did not discuss anything about the Thunderbolt Sect with Ranchen. Except when Dr. Chen was treating him every day, he would take him to look at flowers in his house and talk about poetry, songs, and Buddhist scriptures.
Ranchen could feel that talking to him about Buddhism was to let him dilute the depression in his heart.
"That day I went to the Perak Sect and found that apart from the Perak Sect Master, your mother was not present in the mourning hall. There was only a very young woman holding a child in her arms. The Clan Master Zhou announced on the spot that this child would inherit the Perak Sect. Young Master’s position. I haven’t asked you about anything since I came back, are you willing to talk about it now?”
Ranchen laughed a little uncontrollably. Sometimes, he didn't even know whether to hate his father or love him. If you should love him, how could he let those people in and cause him such trouble?
But if he should be hated, then what was the love he had truly felt in those years?
"When I was young, my father and mother loved each other very much, and my childhood was very happy. But my mother was in very poor health, and she left us when I was eight years old. For a long time, my father was depressed. Unhappy——
I know one day——
He met that woman—"
Ranchen closed his eyes, and he felt his heart beating violently. It was because the name was mentioned again, or maybe he was truly saying goodbye to himself and the past.
"But none of us know where that woman came from. She seems to be very weak, but I feel that she is very scary. Sure enough, there is a pair of eyes beside her that have been following her."
"Is it these eyes that hurt you?"
Facing Qiu Moyuan's inquiry, Ranchen just nodded silently.
"I believe your father doesn't know the details. After all, he could see in the mourning hall that he was really sad."
"Master, I am very grateful to have met you," Ranchen stretched out his hand and held Qiu Moyuan's hand, "I know that the position of the young master of the Perak Sect is too tempting. If they are just for this family fortune, they will not It will hurt my father. I promise you, I will not have any complaints against them anymore. Besides, I promised my mother before she died that even if my future father does anything wrong, I will forgive him.
But if they really want to hurt my father, I must save his life. Because he is my father after all. "
Qiu Moyuan covered Ranchen's hand with his other hand: "My disciple is so kind and intelligent, which proves that I really did not accept the wrong disciple. In this case, from today on, you will be a true disciple of Yunzhong City." Let's get rid of the dust. I am giving you a gift."
Qiu Moyuan stood up and shouted towards the flowers in the distance: "Two little devils, come here."
Ranchen tilted his head, and then he noticed that two little heads emerged from the flowers. After a pause, the two of them trotted to the pavilion together.
When he arrived at the pavilion, Ranchen discovered that the two of them looked about the same age as him. Although Qiu Moyuan had ordered people to put them into clean clothes, their faces were dusty. He suffered a lot of hardships.
"These two children are a pair of brothers. On my way to find Dr. Su, I passed by a place called Nanjia Village. That place was robbed by bandits and there were many dead and injured." Qiu Moyuan couldn't help sighing when he mentioned this. He took a breath and said, "Dr. Su and I went into the village to try our best, but found them under the pile of corpses. It seems that their parents suppressed them underneath in order to protect them. Anyway, they were homeless. Can I be your companion from now on?"
The two children had similar faces, and their dark eyes looked at him brightly.
Ranchen laughed: "Okay."
"Then you guys should get familiar with each other." Qiu Moyuan touched Ranchen's head, then stood up and left the pavilion.
After walking a dozen steps, he suddenly turned back and looked at the three children talking in the pavilion.
Xianlin asked him that day, Ranchen's identity was so complicated, if he saved him, would he really not be afraid of bringing any trouble to Yunzhong City in the future? He thought about it carefully, if the Perak Sect knew that Zhou Hanbai was not dead, it would indeed cause a lot of trouble, right?
At least those who wanted to kill him would definitely not be able to sit still.
But that night, perhaps because of his guilt for catching Ayouduo, or perhaps because of his debt to Ayouduo for his death, when there was another life that was about to pass away in front of him, he wanted to save him.
Especially when he saw Ayouduo's child being seriously injured and taken away.
Maybe he just wants forgiveness and makes himself feel better.
But it did make him realize that this child was really shocking to him.
In the past six months, he took Ranchen to listen to sutras, recite Buddhist scriptures, and read through poems and books. He also understands every bit of the scriptures. Such a person should be able to let go of the pain in his heart.
Maybe he really found a good young city lord for Yunzhong City?
