Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Breaking the Temple

The thunder was rolling and the rain was pouring.

It was impossible to move forward, the road was muddy and neither the donkey nor the cart could move, but luckily, we reached a ruined temple before dark.

Although the ruined temple only has one room, fortunately, donkeys and carts can enter.

Qing Pheasant was so busy that he barely lit a small fire, put fodder for the skinny donkey, put the pottery pot on the fire to heat, poured out a bowl of water, and walked carefully to the car.

"Miss, drink some hot water." She called softly.

The girl in the car didn't move.

The blue pheasant was also used to it, and he slowly fed the water in from the corner of his mouth. When he saw that he was still swallowing, he felt relieved, but only slightly.

The young lady fell into a coma that night.

The young lady's health was not good to begin with, and in the past two years she had been staying up late doing needlework.

She advised.

But the lady didn't listen.

The young lady is determined to please her family.

I want to be a family.

As a result, we were both physically and mentally exhausted, and we didn't treat them as a family.

That day, the good news of the third young master came. The young lady was very happy and thought about making some needlework to send to the young master. The young master had been studying abroad for four years, and the clothes, shoes and socks were all made by the young lady herself.

But the eldest lady asked the young lady to stop and said to take her to see the old lady and let her cross the road in front of the old lady.

When the young lady entered the house, she told others that she was an orphan entrusted to her by relatives. Only a few elders in the family knew that she was engaged to the Third Young Master.

The eldest elder, Mrs. Lu, was not among them.

The reason is that the old lady only wants her grandson to get closer to her natal family, and she will definitely not agree with the sudden arrival of an outsider. She has to wait until the young lady grows up at home and becomes an inseparable family.

But in fact, the old lady has been living in Zhuangzi. The young lady has only seen her three or four times in the five years since she came home. She still followed a group of people and without even saying a word, the old lady was disgusted by the noise and kicked her out together.

Of course the young lady wanted to be recognized by the old lady. She had been looking forward to this day. She followed the eldest lady nervously and happily. When she arrived at the village, she went inside to drink tea. The eldest lady said to take out the marriage certificate, yes.

, to show your identity, you need to have a marriage certificate. The young lady hurriedly handed the marriage certificate to the eldest lady, and then the eldest lady threw the marriage certificate into the incense burner.

Being a wife is no longer possible. The Third Young Master has a different status now, and you are not worthy of it. But don’t worry, our Lu family is affectionate and righteous and will not drive you away and leave you helpless. You can stay and be a concubine.

Thinking of that time, Qing Zhi's tears fell, and she quickly wiped them away, then reached out to wipe the water stains from the corners of the young lady's mouth, and then stroked the young lady's forehead.

My forehead is cold.

On the night when the eldest lady burned the marriage certificate and asked the young lady to be her concubine, the young lady fainted and her whole body was boiling hot.

Qing Pheasant called for a long time before calling the servant girl, but the servant girl said that there was no doctor in the village and she would wait until tomorrow.

The doctor was called in the next day. The doctor perfunctorily told her that she had a cold and prescribed medicine. After drinking it for a day, the lady was still hot, but she struggled to get up.

Qing Pheasant, this can't be done, it can't be done like this, I have to ask my wife.

What's the use of asking. In fact, the eldest lady has looked down on the young lady from the beginning. It can be guessed that Qingzhi is a rough maid, but the question must be asked and cannot be ignored.

Zhuangzi delivered the supplies, hid in the car with the young lady, and entered the house.

As a result, she was humiliated and locked up again. At that time, the young lady's body was so hot that she felt like she was holding hot coals.

But the young lady did not faint this time. She even stopped Qing Zhi from going to the doctor and asked for paper and pen to draw a sketch for her.

go home.

Qing Pheasant, take me home.

I want to go back to my grandfather and mother.

Qing Zhi gently stroked the young lady's face. The young lady's grandfather and mother were both dead. Will the young lady also die when she returns to them?

The morning after I took the young lady away from Zhuangzi, the young lady stopped feeling hot. Qing Zhi was startled at that time, thinking that the young lady was still breathing and could swallow water even though she was drowsy.

On the third day, she didn't dare to delay anymore and went to see a traveling doctor, but the doctor didn't tell her to prepare for the funeral. He frowned and checked her pulse for half a day, and came to the conclusion that she had narcolepsy.

I don’t know what kind of illness this is, but it means that the young lady is still alive. Qing Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and hurried on with his heart in mind.

Maybe after returning home, the young lady will wake up after her soul has settled down.

The clay pot on the bonfire made a beeping sound. Qing Pheasant came to her senses, wiped away her tears and walked back with the bowl. After boiling the water, she added porridge and ginseng. When she left the village, in addition to the cart and donkey, she also

I took some dry food and ginseng.

The old lady uses all good things, hoping to support the young lady to return home.

The green pheasant was cooking porridge by the fire. The rain outside was still raining, and it seemed that it would not stop tonight. There seemed to be a sound of stepping on the ground.

Is it thunder? Qingzhi wanted to look up, but felt that the ground was shaking, so she lowered her head and looked at the ground.

There were shouts and shouts outside.

"There is a place to stay ahead——"

"Go and check quickly to see if there is anyone waiting -"

Accompanied by the sound of talking, the horses' hooves were as dense as thunder, like lightning striking down, and the door suddenly became bright.

Qing Zhi saw the person appearing at the door.

Seven or eight people, riding horses, wearing bamboo hats and black raincloths, held burning torches.

In the swaying firelight, dark waist knives were revealed under their black raincloths.

Qing Pheasant clenched the bowl tightly and remained motionless.

The people outside the door were also stunned for a moment.

"Is there anyone?"

"Who is it?"

Those people were talking in low voices, their gazes were like lightning. Qing Zhi felt that they were sweeping over him, toward the car, lady, and donkey on the side——

She wanted to get up and block in front of the car, but her body was too stiff to move.

"Go and report to your lord."

With these words, one person urged his horse to turn around and go away, while the remaining people stood outside the door like a black wall, motionless and speechless.

The fire was so bright and the rain was so loud that Qing Zhi felt like he had stopped breathing.

These passers-by were looking for a place to stay, and there seemed to be quite a lot of them. Then she and the young lady and other idlers would be kicked out, right?

It's still good to be kicked out.

They all carry knives.

How dangerous it is for a woman to walk alone outside. Qing Zhi, who has never traveled far away from the inner house, also knows that. She was careful along the way, resisting the prying eyes of passers-by in the name of seeking relatives and friends.

The sword is as terrifying as the glimpse of sight.

It seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye. A whistle sounded amid the rain.

"My lord told me to move on."

The human wall began to move, and the quiet sound of rain became noisy.

"Want to leave?"

"It's been raining heavily all day and night. I'm afraid I won't be able to find a place to stay in front of me."

"Stop talking nonsense, don't delay the adults' journey."

Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, the ground shook, and the noise disappeared in the heavy rain.

Qing Zhi squatted in front of the bonfire, holding a bowl, and looked at the door. It was pitch black outside, except for the heavy wipers, as if it was her hallucination.

This is certainly not an illusion.

At dawn, Qing Pheasant held the burned wood in his hand and dared to walk outside the door and look at the ground outside.

The heavy rain has stopped, and there are still messy horse hooves on the muddy ground. The horse hooves come from the east and go to the west.

Qingzhi exhaled softly.

Are they soldiers? Are they officers? They look very powerful. Fortunately, they are not bullying others. Otherwise, they would have been the ones rushing in the rain last night.

The young lady cannot bear to be like this.

Suddenly there was a coughing sound behind him.

Yes, you will cough when you catch a cold. Narcolepsy makes people sleepy, but it does not make people immune to all diseases.

Qing Zhi was stunned for a moment. The firewood stick in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter. She turned her head and looked inside.

cough?

cough!
