Southern Qi Fenghua Record

At night, the room was extremely stuffy and the wound was in severe pain. Xia Houshu lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep, his mind was completely out of control, and all he could think about was the situation in the back mountain.

Inexplicably involved in a bloody storm, how could she naively think that this is over?

Xia Houshu went through the cause and effect carefully, and felt that this matter was full of strangeness.

The terrain of Huguo Temple is steep, and there is only one driveway up the mountain. The monks in the temple are guarding it day and night, and it has recently collapsed due to continuous heavy rain.Even if the man in purple and the man in green could follow the crowd up the stone steps and path in the name of burning incense and worshiping Buddha, how did the dozen or so well-trained and fully equipped killers sneak in without being noticed by others?

There are also the clothes and manners of the two men, one can tell at a glance that they are definitely not ordinary people, but they also don't look like treacherous people.Especially that arrogant, impolite and unreasonable man in Tsing Yi, whose spirit is comparable to martial arts, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can drive.However, he tried his best to protect the man in purple...

What is their true identity?

What kind of hatred is being hunted down by so many people?

Huguo Temple hides an ulterior secret?

These questions became doubts one after another, weighing down on Xia Houshu's heart like a boulder, making her breathless.

She couldn't wait to see Xia Houyi so that she could ask clearly.

Yunxi was also tossing and turning.She is Xia Houshu's personal maid. She has been with Xia Houshu for seven years and has already become Xia Houshu's confidant.Over the years, she probably knew more secrets about Xia Houshu than Zhong Yuqing, a mother.But this time Xia Houshu didn't tell her exactly what happened, so she could only be anxious, and worried that Zhong Yuqing would see something.

It's really hard for her to follow such an uneasy master!

At the second watch, it rained heavily outside again, sweeping away the sultry heat in the air, and gradually the humidity poured in. Xia Houshu felt the pain from the wound and became a little numb, so he gradually felt sleepy.

Yunxi, however, did not fall asleep all night, watching helplessly as the sky changed from dark to bright, and the rain gradually lightened, pattering like beads on a broken thread.

The morning after the rain was extremely cool, and the monastery was quiet, filled with rain and mist, and the air was filled with the fragrance of soil and grass, and the pilgrims who stayed overnight were still immersed in sleep.

Yunxi got up early, planning to change Xia Houshu's dressing before everyone woke up, and then re-bandage the wound.

As soon as she walked to Xia Houshu's couch, she sensed that something was wrong, and hastily stretched out her hand to touch Xia Houshu's forehead, only to find that she was very hot, and panicked instantly.

She thought that Xia Houshu had injuries on his body, and the reason for the injuries was also extremely strange. If she went to ask a master who is knowledgeable in medicine in the temple to see him, the things Xia Houshu wanted to hide would definitely be exposed. Caused an uproar.However, Xiahou Shuqian urged Wanwan to never let Zhong Yuqing know about this matter.

But if you don't seek medical treatment in time, if something happens to Xia Houshu, as a personal maid, not to mention how the stern Yue Guild will deal with it, even Zhong Yuqing, who loves her daughter dearly, will not spare her...

How to do?To say or not to say?

Yunxi was in a dilemma, Xia Houshu on the couch seemed to sense something, suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Yunxi's hand and said in a daze, "Don't tell others, I will be fine."

"What should I do?" Yunxi seemed to be grasping at a straw, so anxious that tears came out, and said in a crying voice, "Girl, tell me, what should I do?"

"Don't worry..." Xia Houshu tried hard to open his eyes and looked at Yunxi, and found that her eyes were black and blue, but her eyes were bloodshot. She was funny and angry, and said slowly, "What a silly girl. Anyway, I don’t have the strength to get up right now. Go and tell your mother, just say that I was tired from going up the mountain yesterday, and I didn’t sleep well at night when I changed my new residence. Then you go to Master Zishen and tell him that I slept with the window open because I was greedy for the cold, but I caught the cold and my throat hurts uncomfortably, and asked him to prepare some decoctions for me to cure the wind and cold or to clear away the heat and relieve the fire. He is as careful as dust , and know medical skills, you will definitely dispose of it properly after hearing it. You will bring the medicine back quietly later, and don't let your mother see it."

"But where are you suffering from the wind and cold..."

Yunxi couldn't react for a while, and held Xia Houshu's hand, letting the tears swirl in her eyes.

"Don't worry, my family members say that my fate is hard and I can't die easily. I think Lord Yan would not dare to accept me." Xia Houshu was almost woken up by her anger, so he could only urge her to do as she said, "but If you don't go, it will be really serious."

Yunxi calmed down and thought about it carefully. After understanding Xia Houshu's meaning, she went to Zhong Yuqing's meditation room to report first, only to find out that Zhong Yuqing was also tired from walking up the mountain, and planned to rest in the meditation room after some fasting, so that Xiahou Shu also has a good rest, and I will come back later to say hello.

Only then did she feel relieved, and hurriedly went to look for the decoction that Master Zishen wanted to treat the wind and cold.

The little master Zishen had some friendship with Xia Houshu, and knew that Xia Houshu was not a weak person. After hearing Yunxi's words, he immediately found a few pills from his room, and went to Xia Houshu under the pretext of delivering a vegetarian meal. Shu's meditation room.

On this day, Xia Houshu fell into a coma until almost noon, and the first thing he did when he struggled to sit up was to ask Yunxi if there was any major event in the temple today.

Yunxi was worried about Xia Houshu's injury and the cause of the injury with all his heart, and when she asked her suddenly, his head was also confused, and he shook his head after a while and asked, "What do you mean by big event?"

Hearing this, Xia Houshu put his forehead and sighed, she really took a silly girl by her side, she only had age and stature, but she didn't have brains.She is like this, what else can be contacted?

But after thinking about it, even Yunxi didn't react, it must be because no one has discovered the matter of Houshan.

Afterwards, Xia Houshu asked Yunxi to fetch some hot water for himself to wipe off the sweat stains on his body, checked the wound carefully, and then picked out a darker colored dress to put on.

Yunxi watched Xia Houshu hesitate to speak for several times, seeing that she kept silent about what happened last night, and finally gave up looking for the bottom line.

Although Xia Houshu didn't show his expression, he still saw Yunxi's every move.I thought this girl was good at this, simple and interesting, she always grasped what she should know and what she shouldn't know very well.

A little later, the rain finally stopped, and the mist in the monastery also thinned.

After a while, a young monk came to each monastery to inform that there was a heavy rain last night, the road down the mountain was slippery, and there were several landslides. The little master who was in charge of going down the mountain to buy fruits and vegetables also returned empty-handed.He also said that the temple has sent people to rush to repair it, and told the pilgrims who stayed overnight to pay attention to safety and not to go down the mountain at will.

Xia Houshu's body has not yet recovered, and he doesn't want to move around, so he has no objection to this, but he is a little uneasy thinking about what happened last night.After all, there was a murder case in Houshan, so many people died, and it took most of the day, someone should find out.

And she had appeared at the scene, so there was no guarantee that no clues were left behind during the fight.

In case of a thorough investigation at that time, she worried that she would be involved.

She spent the day in fear like this.

In the morning of the next day, just as Xia Houshu finished his fast with his mother pretending to be nonchalant, Mrs. Liu came again with her daughter.

As soon as Mrs. Liu entered the door, she complained about the terrible weather. It was sunny and rainy for a while, which made people very uncomfortable.Then he said that it was raining well, and it happened to be a good time to chat with Zhong Yuqing again, and politely asked Zhong Yuqing not to think she was too talkative.

Zhong Yuqing is not a talkative person on weekdays, and he seldom gets close to others. In the past two days, I don't know whether it is that Mrs. Liu is too contagious, or this Huguo Temple is too deserted, so I have a good conversation with her .

The two sat quietly and gossiped, like friends who had known each other for many years.

Xia Houshu listened briefly to their conversation. The content was probably that the youngest son of Sun Shaoqing's family had a strange disease, which could not be cured for a long time. He heard that the incense in the Huguo Temple was effective, so Mrs. Liu brought her daughter to the Huguo Temple to pray for blessings.The mother and daughter have been living here for almost a month, and they planned to go back in a few days, but unexpectedly encountered a heavy rainstorm, the driveway was destroyed, and the carriage could not get off, so they had to stay overnight.

Xia Houshu listened carefully, and immediately realized that Mrs. Liu's words were contradictory and could not withstand scrutiny at all.Imagine a mother with a young son who is bedridden. She has exhausted all her time and energy just taking care of the child. How could she have the heart to take her daughter to Huguo Temple for a long-term stay?Not to mention talking and laughing with people.

This statement is likely to be used to fool people.

Xia Houshu's doubts were quickly answered by Sun Jiarou who had been silent all along.Looking at Sun Jiarou's reaction, it seemed that she didn't agree with her mother's words, as if she was deliberately hiding something.

Zhong Yuqing is a shrewd person, so she can't fail to hear the strangeness in Mrs. Liu's words, but she doesn't point it out, she just listens quietly to the other party and occasionally responds.

With Mrs. Liu accompanying her to talk, Zhong Yuqing's mood seemed to improve, and her sorrow gradually dissipated.

Xia Houshu was not interested in their chat content, and Sun Jiarou presumably was also the same.She glanced at all the people in the room, and suddenly had an idea, and asked the two elders for instructions to go out for a walk with Sun Jiarou.

After hearing this proposal, Sun Jiarou's eyes showed a little joy, but this light was quickly drowned in her dark eyes, because Mrs. Liu's expression seemed a little embarrassed.

Zhong Yuqing looked at the two pretty girls who looked like flowers, thinking that they were of the same age, so naturally they were not interested in the conversations of their elders, and Sun Jiarou was sick and well-behaved, and she also ran into trouble in the temple. If nothing bad happened, he said to Mrs. Liu: "Mrs. Liu, you are too cautious. This Huguo Temple is a pure place of Buddhism. Let them go out for a walk, and take more people to follow."

Mrs. Liu listened to Zhong Yuqing's words, thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, explained a few more words, and ordered two maidservants, Yunzhi and Guizhi, to follow.

Xia Houshu and Sun Jiarou came out of the meditation room and walked along the stone steps all the way to the back of the mountain.Yunxi and Sun Jiarou's two maidservants followed closely behind like tails, never leaving each other.

Xia Houshu saw some tricks, pulled Sun Jiarou, and asked in a low voice: "Sister is so worried, is there something difficult?"

Sun Jiarou smiled wryly, implying that it was inconvenient for someone to follow along.

Xia Houshu understood, and immediately turned to Yunxi and the other two maids and said, "Stop following, I have something to say to my sister Sun."

Yunzhi and Guizhi were a little surprised, they exchanged glances, and one of them said: "Miss Xiahou, my girl is weak, and when she came out, my wife told me to take good care of her. If anything goes wrong, the servants will not worry about it." I'm guilty, I hope the girl will understand."

"Of course you want to listen to what your wife says, but sister Jiarou is also your master, don't you need to listen to her words?" Xia Houshu said coldly, "Or, you don't trust me, for fear that I will tease you, Abducted your girl?"

"Slaves dare not!" The two maidservants were taken aback, and quickly said, "The girl is the daughter of the Duke's mansion, the jewel in the palm of Princess Xuanhe, and she is naturally the kindest person."

"Duplicity!" Xia Houshu continued to sneer, "If you really think I'm kind, why bother to follow me every step of the way? Your girl is not a prisoner, and I'm not a human trafficker. Why bother?"

The two maidservants were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, and said in unison: "Miss Xiahou, be careful! Both girls are rich and precious, and the servants and maidservants are all lowly and ignorant fools. How dare they be suspicious? It is really my wife. Destiny comes first, slaves dare not refuse to listen!"

Xia Houshu just wanted to intimidate them and make them more interesting. Now that her goal has been achieved, she stopped playing prestige and said, "In this case, I won't make it difficult for you. You should stay away from me, but don't steal. listen."

After Xia Houshu finished speaking, he pulled Sun Jiarou forward a few steps.She didn't ask Sun Jiarou what happened until she was sure that the other party couldn't hear them anymore.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. It's just that my sister can help Jiarou once, but she can't help Jiarou for the rest of her life." Sun Jiarou couldn't help feeling sad after saying this, her eyes were foggy and couldn't be blown away.

It was only then that Xia Houshu noticed that Sun Jia was soft and beautiful, but his figure was extremely thin, and he was not energetic, as if he had suffered a serious illness.

Anyone who sees this look will feel distressed.Xia Houshu couldn't help feeling sorry for the fragrance, and patted Sun Jiarou on the shoulder to comfort him, "If you don't mind, you might as well tell me what happened first, and I'll see if I can help you."

There seemed to be a spring flowing out of Sun Jiarou's foggy eyes, probably because she was moved, or remembered something sad.She thought for a long time before biting her lips and said, "Actually, my mother didn't bring me to Huguo Temple to pray for my brother. They just wanted to put me under house arrest."
