The sacred tree is behind the main hall of Lanruo Temple.
Li Xiuyuan originally wanted to go and see it yesterday, but he was delayed because of the mural. For safety reasons, he did not go to see it. He planned to go and see what was unusual about the sacred tree after waking up today.
place, but I didn’t expect that something would happen today.
Xiaodie said Qingmei was near the sacred tree.
Then there is no doubt that something happened there.
When Li Xiuyuan arrived, he saw a huge banyan tree with a towering crown and people gathered around it.
There were pilgrims burning incense in the morning, as well as monks from the temple in Lanruo Temple, presiding over it. Even the master Liao Kong from yesterday seemed to be present. At the moment, he was sitting cross-legged next to a nearby temple with his eyes lowered and reciting scriptures.
"How could such a thing happen so smoothly?"
"Who knows, but judging from the look of that girl, I'm afraid she's going to die. There's no doctor in Lanruo Temple. Even if you want to ask for one, you have to go to Guobei County to ask for one."
"Even if the doctor comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to save this girl's life."
Discussions continued from the crowd.
"Everyone give way." Li Xiuyuan shouted suddenly at this moment, like a thunderous explosion, relying on his strength from practicing martial arts for many years, he directly knocked through the crowd and forced his way in.
But when he crossed the crowd, he suddenly saw that under the sacred tree, the green plum girl was pale, panting rapidly and fell to the ground. On her chest, a half-burned incense stick was pierced.
He took off her clothes and inserted it into her heart. Scarlet blood continuously overflowed from the wound, flowing down her chest and onto the ground, dyeing the surrounding area red.
At this moment, no one dared to approach Qingmei to rescue her. They all just watched her fall to the ground and bleed dry.
"Qingmei girl."
Li Xiuyuan's expression suddenly changed and he rushed out quickly. He immediately gently embraced Qingmei, who was lying on the ground, in his arms. Regardless of the difference between men and women, he directly untied her clothes and checked the injuries on her body.
It didn't matter that he checked, the Buddhist incense that had not yet burned had already penetrated deeply into his chest. At this time, it was probably inserted into his heart.
Such serious injuries would have been difficult to treat even in the world before time travel, let alone this ancient time.
"Li, Mr. Li, if you come, the slave family will know that you will come." Qingmei's face was terribly pale, without any trace of blood, but she still forced a smile.
"Don't talk, I'll help you heal." Li Xiuyuan said, gently covering the wound, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.
But with a gentle squeeze, the blood flowed faster and seemed to be gushing out.
There is no doubt that this is an injury to the arteries, even the arteries in the heart.
For a moment, he froze.
Qingmei reluctantly raised her blood-stained jade hand and placed it on Li Xiuyuan's palm, and said in a weak voice: "Young master Li, no need. I'm afraid the slave family will not survive today."
"No, don't say that. There is still hope. You may not die." Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and said, wanting to pull out the Buddhist incense stuck in his heart, otherwise Qingmei would definitely die if he kept it stuck in his chest. He wanted to
I stretched out my hand but didn't dare.
I'm afraid that this pulling out will make Qingmei die faster.
Qingmei couldn't help but smile sweetly when she saw Li Xiuyuan being so anxious and concerned about her own safety.
"Li, Mr. Li's house is a little cold. Can you hug me tightly?"
"Yes, you can make any request you have." Li Xiuyuan immediately put Qingmei's increasingly cold body into his arms, feeling that the vitality of this pretty beauty was rapidly draining away.
He has never experienced such a powerless moment since his birth.
Watching a person die in front of you.
Qingmei leaned in the man's arms and whispered softly: "Slave... I want to talk to Mr. Li about something in my heart. This has been in my heart for a long time. If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to talk to Mr. Li in the future.
said."
"You say it, I'll listen." Li Xiuyuan said.
Qingmei looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with some memories: "That must have been ten years ago. At that time, Mr. Li was only five years old, and the slave family was only six years old. Mr. Li took several
The entourage was shopping in Guobei City, and the slave family was also there. At that time, the slave family’s mother took the slave family to sell vegetables on the street. At that time, the slave family was greedy for the candied haws, so they asked her mother for a penny to buy it across the street.
"
"My family still remembers that when I was walking down the street, a carriage ran into my family like crazy. It was Mr. Li who rushed over and saved my family. I wonder if Mr. Li still remembers this?"
"Remember, I still remember that you were so frightened that you cried. For this reason, I bought all the candied haws to comfort you. It turns out that you are that greedy little girl in Guo Beicheng." Li Xiuyuan said.
He did have such an incident in his childhood memories.
Unexpectedly, the girl he saved through his kind act ten years ago would now be the green plum in front of him.
The so-called fate is really hard to explain clearly.
But this fate seems to have come a little late.
There was a smile on Qingmei's lips, and her face became paler: "Isn't it just the slave family? But the slave family has a hard life. Mr. Li's dozens of candied haws can't be melted away. Later, the slave family's mother died early, and her father was infected again.
He got into gambling and sold the slave family into a brothel because of the gambling debt... The slave family lived in the brothel for a full ten years. During the ten years, the slave family's father also passed away.
There is no family member left in the world, and the only one who cannot be forgotten is you, Mr. Li."
"So early on, the slave family secretly saved money and wanted to redeem themselves. They went to Guobei County to seek refuge with Mr. Li, in order to be slaves and maids of Mr. Li. The slave family was also willing to do so. It was not until this month that the slave family saved enough silver and redeemed themselves.
I brought Xiaodie to Guobei County..."
Her voice became softer and softer, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.
Qingmei, who was bleeding profusely, is now on the verge of coma.
And I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up from this coma.
"Miss Qingmei, you can't sleep over, you can't sleep." Li Xiuyuan said hurriedly.
Qingmei may have heard Li Xiuyuan's voice, and suddenly she opened her eyes with excitement. She seemed to be much more energetic. She didn't know where she got the strength to grab Li Xiuyuan's hand, and said with some urgency: "Master Li
, Although the Nu family is a brothel girl, she has always been innocent and has never lost her virginity. Mr. Li, you have to believe in the Nu family."
"I believe, I believe, Miss Qingmei has emerged from the mud and remains unstained." Li Xiuyuan said immediately, but he felt more and more bad.
Is this a flashback?
"If the Nu family really goes to seek refuge with Mr. Li, Mr. Li will not disdain the Nu family's background, right?" Qingmei asked seriously again, her eyes full of expectation.
"No, Miss Qingmei is so beautiful. How could I, Li Xiuyuan, dislike her? I will only treat her well."
Li Xiuyuan said seriously.
Qingmei smiled palely, raised a clenched palm, and placed a wooden sign in Li Xiuyuan's hand.
On one side of the wooden sign were written the names of Qingmei and Li Xiuyuan, and on the other side were words of blessing saying that they would grow old together and be united forever.
This is the marriage card.
"It's a pity that the marriage card of the slave family can no longer be displayed." Qingmei said with a bit of regret.
Li Xiuyuan held her hand and felt that it was getting colder. He said, "There is no need to pray to God or Buddha. From now on, you are a member of my Li family."
"Seriously? Mr. Li, please don't comfort the slave family."
"I, Li Xiuyuan, said the truth." Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Tieshan, go back to my father's house and bring me the golden lock of the Li family. By the way, I'll invite the doctor over, no, catch him."
Tieshan, who had already arrived, was stunned for a moment.
"Immediately." Li Xiuyuan shouted again.
"Yes, young master." Tieshan turned around and left without saying a word.
"Ride on my thousand-mile horse, my horse is fast." Li Xiuyuan said again.
"It is said that Mr. Li of the Li family in Guobei County invited famous craftsmen to make a pair of jade locks, three pairs of gold locks, and six pairs of silver locks when Mr. Li was young. They were given to his future wives and concubines respectively. The slave family heard that in the past, the brothels
The sisters discussed that once the Li family's lock is put on, it will never be taken off. If you are born as a member of the Li family, you will die as a ghost of the Li family. Are you right?" Qingmei's smile became paler.
There was no blood on his face.
"Yes, Miss Qingmei is right. My father prepared the jade lock for my future wife, the gold lock for my wife, and the silver lock for my concubine." Li Xiuyuan trembled slightly and hurriedly
He said without any concealment.
"I really didn't expect that the slave family can still get Mr. Li's golden lock. The slave family is satisfied." Qingmei felt extremely happy at this moment.
The person who has been dreaming about her for ten years finally accepts herself today. She has a family and a husband-in-law.
"Miss Qingmei, you can't delay any longer. I have to help you pull out this Buddhist incense stick. If you don't pull it out, you will really die." Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and said.
You may die if you pull it out, but if you don't pull it out now, you will definitely die.
Without hesitation, he grasped the Buddhist incense stick inserted into his heart with his palm, preparing for the final blow.
