Second-hand lady

Chapter 59

Wen Liang found that although Rucui was smiling, the smile was very forced, and when he touched her hand, she was still trembling, because she thought she was less dressed and cold, but now it doesn't look like that.

"Girl, it's all over." He said softly, with a slight pain in his heart.No matter how lucky she is, she is still a weak woman, what happened tonight frightened her.The hateful thing is that my negligence almost caused her...

"Well, I know. Fortunately, Mr. Wen is here, otherwise we will all be killed by robbers tonight." Ru Cui's face was full of pride, and she had a hundred trust in Wen Liang's IQ.

Talking, has arrived at the destination.

The injured children were placed by the guards in the wing room where they lived, which was also very simple.

When Ru Cui and Wen Liang entered, they saw the two guards in the room standing there stiffly, looking at each other with very strange expressions, which made the two who came in couldn't help but think about it.

"What's the matter?" Wen Liang asked, looking at the simple wooden bed, the child was lying there with his eyes closed, a sheet was draped over his body, and his skinny face had no trace of blood, which made people think it was wrong .

"Is he alright? Could it be..." Ru Cui's expression turned pale.At that time, the child was stabbed abruptly, and he felt guilty thinking about it.

The guards knew that they were thinking off their minds, so they quickly said: "He...he is not dead, but the knife wound was deep and bone-deep, and he lost a lot of blood, causing him to be unconscious. If he is not treated in time, his life may be in danger. His subordinates have helped He's dealt with the trauma, but it's better to have a doctor come and have a look."

After Rucui heard this, the heart that was about to let go was raised again.

Wen Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Tomorrow morning, let's go to the city to find a doctor for him." After calculating the time, Wen Liang sighed in his heart, originally there were still two days to arrive in Pingjin, it seems that the time will be delayed A delay.

After all, Wen Liang came over and was about to lift the quilt to look at the child's injury, but the two guards jumped up like frightened rabbits and said in surprise: "Your Excellency, please!"

"What's the matter with you?" Miss Rucui was a little puzzled, seeing the child's forehead beaded with sweat, his complexion was really bad, she felt extremely uncomfortable, she took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face.

Facing the doubts of the two, the two guards took a look and said bravely: "My lord, this child...is a girl."

Wen Liang withdrew his hand abruptly. Although he was only a child, according to the deep-rooted traditional concept, even a child cannot look at it casually. In this era, the defense between men and women is very serious. Even if it is his own daughter or father Nor is it allowed to look.

Miss Rucui also stared wide-eyed, she was extremely surprised and asked: "Are you sure?"

The guard replied helplessly: "Ma'am, I didn't mean to take off the clothes and bandage up the child earlier." What's abominable is that the child was wearing boy's clothes, and he was young, skinny and skinny. How would they know that they are useless after taking off their clothes?
In extraordinary times, this is also impossible.Wen Liang was considerate of them, and didn't blame them, but only told them not to reveal this matter to the child's reputation.On the other hand, Miss Rucui stared at the child's face fiercely. Although she was thin and her complexion was not good at the moment, she didn't look like a girl at all when she spoke earlier, but she was full of boyishness. His eyebrows are very beautiful, adding a bit of heroism.

Although the gender of the child was a surprise, everyone quickly dismissed the matter.

Since the child was seriously injured and did not know when she would wake up, Ru Cui called Tsing Yi and Lan Yi to ask them to come over and change the child into clean clothes. I am grateful and serve you attentively.During this process, although the child was sweating in pain, he did not wake up, and soon developed a fever, which made Ru Cui even more worried.

Soon, the abbot of the temple came with two older monks.

The abbot was also a little surprised when he saw the injured child. Judging from his expression, he knew the child.After hearing what the child had done, the abbot sighed and chanted the Buddha's name.

From the words of the abbot, we can know that these robbers came to this mountain forest two years ago to occupy the mountain as bandits. It is said that this group of desperadoes are all outlaws who have been involved in lawsuits, and their hands are all stained with blood. They are very fierce.Since they robbed many pilgrims who came to offer incense, the news spread and no one dared to offer incense again, which made Ronghua Temple gradually lose its incense.Of course, there are also many savvy robbers. They found that due to the long mountain roads in this area, caravans that missed the place often came to Ronghua Temple to stay overnight. Ronghua Temple stayed.

After two years, the monks in the originally prosperous Ronghua Temple fled to death and fled. In the end, there were only ten old, weak, sick and disabled monks left. The travelers from Sutou came to the door, but they didn't shoot them.

And this child is the child of a hunter in the mountains. Two years ago, both parents were killed by robbers.She was only six years old then, and the robbers saw that she was a girl, so they stayed and worked for them.The child is also clever, and he has been doing well among the robbers for the past two years. When there are caravans staying, he is often sent by the robbers to sneak into the monastery to pass the news of the caravan guards to them.Those caravans saw that she was a child and said that she was in charge of the vegetable garden in the monastery, so naturally they were not wary.

When the abbot said pitifully that the child was also a pitiful person, Wen Liang smiled inexplicably, and suddenly asked, "The bandits are here, why don't you report them to the authorities?"

The old monk sighed deeply and said, "Why didn't you report to the officials? The monks who went to report to the officials in the monastery were all killed by robbers on the way. Just ignore it. I found out later that the robbers had already bought people from the government..." At the end, he twirled the beads in his hand and recited the Buddha's mantra again.

Wen Liang frowned, said nothing, got up and went out with the abbot to deal with the arrested robbers.

From the mouths of those arrested robbers, it can be seen that they came out in full force this time, but they did not expect to be caught off guard by the other party, with heavy casualties. will not be coming back.And several guards died on their side.

Ru Cui didn't pay much attention to the follow-up matter, and took care of the injured child together with Tsing Yi and Lan Yi. The child soon developed a high fever, his whole face was burning red, and from time to time he groaned in pain like a kitten.There is no medicine at all in the monastery, and the monks don't know how to cure diseases, so we can't count on them at all.In the end, Ru Cui picked up some antipyretic medicine from the medicine they brought and cooked it for her.

After hearing what happened to the child, Tsing Yi and Lan Yi felt very sorry for her. Although she was an eight-year-old child, she was as thin as a five-year-old child, and her development was severely stunted. It is estimated that after her parents were killed by robbers, she died among the robbers. Couldn't eat or sleep well at all.

Everyone didn't have much rest that night, and the child's fever was intermittent, which made the maids who took care of her very tired.

Before dawn, Wen Liang immediately ordered the guards to get ready and set off.

Before leaving, Wen Liang said to the abbot who also couldn't sleep well: "I will deal with this matter, I just hope Master remembers that I am a compassionate monk."

The monks who came to see him off with the abbot couldn't help but look happy after hearing this, they didn't understand Wen Liang's words at all, only the abbot was still kind-hearted and bowed deeply to Wen Liang, thanking him for his righteousness.

Holding a hand stove in her hand, Ru Cui lifted the curtain to look at the mottled gate of the temple, and sighed inwardly.

Since the child hadn't woken up and had to walk the mountain road, the road was bumpy, so Rucui put her in their carriage and let her lie down more comfortably.

On the way, Ru Cui asked Wen Liang about the situation last night, and learned from it that they only captured fifteen robbers last night, killed twenty of them, and the rest escaped.As for the captured robbers, Wen Liang ordered the guards to cripple their tendons in a very cruel manner, and then tied them tightly and handed them over to the monk to watch.Before dawn, Wen Liang sent a guard to take the letter with his seal to Ningcheng, the nearest city, and hand it over to the magistrate of Ningcheng, so that the officials from the government would come and detain the arrested robbers. Walk.

Speaking of the captured robbers, Wen Liang smiled very gently at someone, and said: "There are two robbers who were captured thanks to you girl, but they were seriously injured, and they probably won't be able to get out of bed for a while. .” There is another one who will be a eunuch for the rest of his life.Although the girl in his family is a bit cruel, Wen Liang has no sympathy.

After hearing his words, the married girl Rucui naturally understood something, she blushed a little and said, "It's so dark, I didn't know it would be so accurate at that time..." Seeing that Wen Liang was still looking at her with a smile, Miss Cui scratched her face and assured her, "Master Wen, don't worry, I know that's where a man is most vulnerable, and I will never do anything to you!"

"..."

Hurry up slowly, until noon, they arrived in Ningcheng.

After quickly choosing an inn to stay in, Ru Cui sent someone to find the doctor with the best medical skills in the city to treat the child's wounds, and after Wen Liang told the guards to protect his wife, he took two guards to find Ning Cheng's magistrate.

Wen Liang acted resolutely this time, he didn't want to appease the robbers, he wanted to take this opportunity to catch them all.As for those magistrates colluding with the bandits, Wen Liang is not in a hurry, he has plenty of time to deal with them.

The doctor came soon, and the child's fever continued intermittently, and she went into shock several times, so frightened, Ru Cui kept pressing her limbs tightly, for fear that she would get hurt while struggling.

The doctor looked at the injury, changed the medicine for the child, and prescribed a prescription for people to decoct the medicine, and said to Miss Rucui who had been watching nervously: "Madam, this child is seriously injured, and there are internal injuries, next She can only survive on her own."

Ru Cui felt a little heavy in her heart, she nodded and remained silent.

Wen Liang didn't leave for a long time, and when he came back, he saw Rucui feeding medicine to the comatose child with a gentle expression on his face.

Wen Liang froze for a moment, then came over and sat beside her.

Although the child's condition is not good, but fortunately her survival instinct is very strong, although a lot of medicine came out, but she swallowed more or less.

"What did the doctor say?" Wen Liang came over to hold her hand.

Ru Cui said with some concern: "The doctor said that the injury is too serious, and she can only support it by herself."

"It will be fine, she is a child with courage and ideas." Wen Liang looked at the pale and thin face in the bed again, and sighed slightly: "I also want to thank her, if it wasn't for her, the one who got hurt would be You." It might even hurt worse.

Ru Cui opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, but her eyes widened when she heard what he said next.

"Her parents were killed by robbers at a young age. Although she became a robber, it was not her intention. She can come to tell you to escape and even sacrifice her life for you, which proves that her heart is pure and kind. We don't have children, why not just Adopt her, it can be regarded as repaying her for saving her life. Girl, you will be her mother from now on." Facing her surprised face, Wen Liang smiled slightly, and said again: "Didn't you say that she opened the door for you? Call your mother? Now that you have called her, let her keep calling her."

Ru Cui was silent for a long time, and after suppressing the emotion in her heart, she said, "Miss Wen, are you sure? Her personality may be a bit...cough, not like a girl's." For fear that he would be frightened by the child's nature in the future, Ru Cui hurriedly gave him some hints.

Even if it's not like a girl's house, it's better than you, a bum who often feels aggrieved, right?
Wen Liang thought so, and felt that it was nothing at all.But after he discovered the seriousness of the matter, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
