Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 246 Dangerous Flying Vinegar
The doctor nodded, "Okay, please follow me!"

——Thousands of years ago

On the moonlit and star-sparse long street, there were only a few people in the desert. While running wildly, Liu Zaili felt that he was being swallowed by darkness and sadness. In a trance, he really wanted to reach out and grab something, but only touched his own memories. , Why is this, the pain of suffocation spread all over the body.

It turns out that in this world, the saddest thing is not not being able to meet, but not being able to get it when you meet. Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless, cold and lonely time, faltering to watch the stars move, prosperity and ending year after year, those who flow in the long river of time Memory, how people forget, scars, deep or shallow, indelible.

Seeing his master's unbearable sadness, Qianye was also sad, and suddenly, when he raised his eyes, a black shadow came faintly.

"No... lord..." While waving his hands, the hidden guards beside him rushed forward.

Liu Zaili, who was always vigilant like a falcon, lost his vigilance in his tortured and devoured heart, a bright blade flew towards him, his slack body instinctively rolled over, and the sword slashed past his ear.

The men in black looked at each other, and the swords and swords came whistling.

"Father..."

"The king of the county..."

……

-

"Don't...don't..." In his sleep, Ma Min'er waved his hands wildly, waking Xia Zhen up. He sat up and grabbed the little daughter-in-law's hand, "Min'er...Min'er..."

"Don't...don't..." Sweat oozes from his forehead and clings to his sideburns, struggling with pain on his face, "don't...don't..."

"Min'er...Min'er..." Xia Zhen patted the little daughter-in-law's face lightly, "Wake up..."

"don't want……"

Seeing that the little daughter-in-law couldn't come out of her nightmare, Xia Zhen pursed her lips and pinched her nose with her hands.

"Hmm..." Ma Min'er almost couldn't catch her breath, woke up from being suffocated, gasping for breath, her eyes were numb and unfocused, Xia Zhen was so frightened that she quickly helped her sit up, "Min'er, you ……What happened to you?"

After taking a few deep breaths, Ma Miner's eyeballs moved, "What's wrong with me?"

"Did you have a nightmare?" Xia Zhen patted her on the back lightly.

Ma Min'er's eyes were dazed, "I... dreamed of a friend who seemed to..."

"My friend... what's the matter?" Xia Zhen looked at the dazed little daughter-in-law and asked softly.

"He...I dreamed of participating in...participating in..."

"Participate in what?"

"I dare not say." Ma Min'er hugged Xia Zhen, and put her head into his arms, "Maybe it's just a dream!"

"Yes, it's a dream." Xia Zhen patted the little daughter-in-law's back lightly to calm her down.

After an unknown amount of time, Ma Min'er finally calmed down, "I want to drink water!"

"Okay, I'll pour it." Xia Zhen gently let go of her daughter-in-law, "Do you want to lie down?"

Ma Miner shook her head, still sitting.

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhen patted her twice, got out of bed, and poured water for her.

Ma Min'er unconsciously reached out and pinched the jade water droplet on her neck. When she realized something, she lowered her head to look at it. In the video, she saw the modern Ma Min'er lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, "You ..."

"What's the matter, Min'er?" Hearing the voice, Xia Zhen turned her head.

Ma Min'er turned her head in a panic, "Zhen... Brother Zhen, I... want to drink hot water."

"Hot water?" Xia Zhen looked at the cup in his hand, "It's still warm."

"No no, I want something hot."

"You..." The little daughter-in-law is really annoying, but seeing her looking at her expectantly with big eyes, Xia Zhen couldn't bear to ignore her, and just wanted to call someone...

"Brother Zhen, they may be asleep, you... you can call outside."

Let me call someone outside the door myself?Xia Zhen wanted to raise her eyebrows, but she couldn't bear it when her eyes touched the sweaty face of the young daughter-in-law, "Okay, I'll go outside and ask the person on duty to bring a pot of hot water over."

Ma Miner nodded numbly.

Xia Zhen lifted her foot out of the room door.

Ma Min'er quickly lowered her head and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

Modern Ma Min'er's lips are white and chapped, "Han Lai is sick."

"What disease?"

"Kidney failure."

"Need a kidney transplant?"

"Ah."

"Use your own..." Ma Min'er was optimistic about this, and immediately blurted out.

Modern Ma Miner nodded vigorously: "En."

"Is it done?"

"I'm also waiting for the result!"

Xia Zhen, who was standing outside the door talking to Xiaowen, kept her ears focused on the room, as if she heard a low murmur, but it didn't seem to be: "Go and bring a pot of hot water over here."

"Yes, master, I'll go to the kitchen to get some boiling water." Seeing that the master was absent-minded, Xiaowen hurriedly turned and went to the kitchen.

Xia Zhen turned around, pushed the door open, and heard the sound of footsteps and closing the door, Ma Miner quickly put down the jade water drop, pretending to pick her fingers.

Seeing the little daughter-in-law loosen the jade water drop on her neck, Xia Zhen was puzzled, but she didn't care. After all, the jade water drop has been with her for more than 20 years, and she smiled: "Min'er, the hot water will come later."

"Oh." Ma Miner replied absent-mindedly.

Xia Zhen walked to the bed, sat down beside the little daughter-in-law, and hugged him into her arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Yeah." Ma Min'er turned around and put her arms around Xia Zhen, "Tomorrow, let's go to the temple on the mountain to worship."

"it is good."

That night, Ma Min'er didn't sleep well. She waited and waited until Xia Zhen fell asleep, and picked up the jade water drop again, but there was no image in it. How could this be?
Although Jin Hanlai was only regarded as a friend and a buddy in the previous life, after all, they have been together for ten years, ten years, if relatives are better than relatives, how can she not worry?

The next morning, she woke up just after dawn, and Xia Zhen was awakened by rustling sounds.

"Why don't you sleep more?"

"Can't sleep." Ma Min'er sighed.

Seeing that her face was pale, Xia Zhen became nervous, and quickly sat up, "Then get up and eat something first, and go to sleep later when you want to sleep."

"I want to go up the mountain to worship Buddha."

Still remembering, Xia Zhen had no choice but to nod, "Well, have a good breakfast, let's go together."

Shan Xiaodan listened to Xiaowen talking about what happened last night outside, and secretly blamed herself, don't go to sleep just because the young lady doesn't want to be served, no, the young lady is pregnant, it's not like before, from now on, two people will be on duty every night , but also leave an experienced childbirth woman waiting anytime and anywhere.

After entering the kitchen, Shan Xiaodan told his mother about the nightmare that Xiaowen guessed that the young lady had to drink water when she got up last night.

Aunt Shan raised her eyes: "Could it be that the young lady is pregnant, and the fire is low, so why do you want to worship God?"

"Mom, I dare not say that."

"Mother, tell me." Aunt Shan took off her apron resolutely, turned around and was about to go to the main wing.

"Mother, then we have to wait until the prince and the young lady have eaten."

"Oh, that's right." Aunt Shan was quick to do things by hand, and now that she had something in mind, she went even faster. After a while, all the breakfast was on the table.

Concerned, pregnant, and hot weather, Ma Miner only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge this morning, and never wanted to move her chopsticks again. , let’s go down the mountain to eat.”

When Shan Xiaodan heard this, he boldly asked: "My lord, why did you go up the mountain..."

"Go to Xiaoshan Temple!"

"Oh." Shan Xiaodan was overjoyed, Don't Mother spoke, the prince and the young lady already knew to pray for Buddha.

Now that they knew they were going up the mountain, the maids and women performed their respective duties, and quickly cleaned up and let the master go up the mountain.

Xia Zhen wanted the young daughter-in-law to take a small shoulder car (the favorite carried by two or four people), she shook her head, "It's not that far away, I'll walk there and show my sincerity."

Under normal circumstances, Xia Zhen listens to the little daughter-in-law for small things, and she can do whatever she wants, but now that she is pregnant, he is willing to let her walk on foot, "No, your fetal gas is not stable, this time listen mine."

"Brother Zhen, if I can't walk anymore, you can carry me on your back." Ma Min'er didn't want to sit on the shoulders, like a landlady.

Uh... this little daughter-in-law... well, Xia Zhen nodded helplessly, "Okay, then I'll carry you on my back."

Just as Xia Zhen and his daughter-in-law walked to the door, Jing Mo appeared. Normally, if he appeared, there must be something important. Ma Miner subconsciously looked at Xia Zhen.

Xia Zhen leaned to the side, a few steps away from the little daughter-in-law, and leaned into his ear in shock, "The king of Yancheng County has been assassinated."

Xia Zhen's eyes shot at Jing Mo, and in an instant, he became calm again, "How is it?"

"It's not known yet."

In other words, she is not dead, Xia Zhen drooped her eyelids, turned her head slightly, and glanced at the little daughter-in-law from the corner of her eye, could it be that the friend in her dream was Liu Zaili?He's not feeling well inside.

However, Xia Zhen is not a person who shows joy and anger on his face. He pretended to be fine, and turned back to his little daughter-in-law, "Let's go." He reached out to hold her hand.

Jing Mo looked at the master's back, and then glanced at Xia Xiaoren who was beside the young lady. Seeing him looking over, Xia Xiaoren raised his chin, snorted, and immediately turned his head to the other side, not bothering to look at him at all.

Jing Mo rubbed his nose, looked at Xiaowen again, turned around and hid among the ordinary guards.

Ma Min'er never took the initiative to ask about Xia Zhen's official affairs. The couple went up the mountain with their servants and guards. It was still the tree-lined path with lush foliage and a trickling stream under the shade of the tree, which brought an extremely cool feeling .

-

The capital is in chaos, and the king of Yancheng County, a famous man next to the emperor, was assassinated. He is still alive and dead. Liu Zaili in danger.

The Holy Majesty came personally, and King Ning was terrified, "I respectfully welcome the Holy Majesty, long live..."

Emperor Yuantai waved his sleeves: "Take me to see Zili."

"Yes, Your Majesty." King Ning got up quickly, and behind him stood the masters of Prince Ning's mansion, big and small. When King Ning left, they also wanted to go in, but were blocked by the servants behind His Majesty.

Everyone stood still and did not dare to move, watching Ning Wang and his wife and Emperor Yuantai enter Liu Zaili's inner room.

The imperial physician was stopping Liu Zaili's bleeding, and the needle had already penetrated. Seeing the emperor coming, he hurried over to salute.

Emperor Yuantai reached out to stop him, "How is Zili?"

"Returning to the Holy One, I have lost too much blood, and I am trying to figure out a way."

In other words, still in danger, Emperor Yuantai said with a serious face: "Then find a way quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial physician turned around, walked to the table of the Eight Immortals, and took a pen, "I'll prescribe the prescription for nourishing the soul first, and you follow my medicine boy to grab the medicine. After you grab it, fry three bowls and one bowl, hello." Take it."

"Thank you, the imperial physician." King Ning bowed and asked his stewards to get the prescription quickly.

Emperor Yuantai looked at the courtiers on the bed, heartbroken, "Zi Li, don't worry, I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes and avenge you."

It's a pity that Liu Zaili's face was pale, his lips were dry, his eyes were closed tightly, and he remained motionless. He couldn't see the emperor coming in person, nor could he hear his words.

Concubine Ning shook her son's hand anxiously, "Li'er, Li'er...you wake up, look at Concubine Mother..."

The imperial doctor hurriedly stopped, "Princess, you can't... you can't... the county king's blood was finally stopped, it's not good to shake the wound like this."

"Then why do I..."

"Princess, the county king has lost a lot of blood, as long as he gets through today, he will be fine!"

"Today...today..." Concubine Ning burst into tears... If she can't make it through, then what can I do...

-

On the hillside, Ma Min'er saw Master Fakong and put his hands together: "Master..."

Master Fakong returned the salute, and said lightly: "Almsgiver, please come with me—" He led Ma Min'er into the main hall of the temple, where the merciful and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined.

Ma Min'er knelt down on the futon piously, clasped her hands together, and sincerely prayed for Jin Hanlai.

Seeing the entrance of the main hall, Xia Zhen lowered his eyes, turned around and stood on the slope outside the gate, with his hands behind his back, looking towards the small village where the smoke was curling up. what is the relationship.

-

After inspecting the city and leaving the government office, Feng Zhiping went to the study, "Father—"

"How is it outside?"

Feng Zhiping shook his head, "No clue."

Feng Jiangyi pressed his temples, "The capital city seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, which is really a headache."

"Father, Xiao Lin has already consciously backed down. This year, whether it is Yanyin, Jiuqu, Hualou, he has withdrawn a lot. Whether it is the clan or the aristocrats of the aristocratic family, they all pay their taxes on time. Now, the treasury is full, how can there be an undercurrent? "

Feng Jiangyi said: "Because of the Xiao family's withdrawal and the redistribution of interests, it is even more uneasy."

"So that's the case." Feng Zhiping said, "What does this have to do with the assassination of King Yancheng?"

Feng Guangyi raised his wise old eyes, "Don't forget who owns the Great Wei Dynasty."

"Father means that those aristocratic families and the Holy Master..." Feng Zhiping was taken aback, "The king of Yancheng County is investigating the Holy Master, so..."

Feng Jiangyi nodded silently, "I don't know if King Yancheng is out of danger."

"My son heard that as long as we survive today..."

"Hope he gets through today..."

-

"Greatly merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, I hope you can bless Brother Jin to get through this calamity safely, and hope that he can spend his life safely. Please bless him... Please bless him..."

Brother Jin?Standing outside the door, I heard my little daughter-in-law praying to God and praying to Buddha. Xia Zhen searched her memory but couldn't find a person surnamed Jin. Could it be that it wasn't Liu Zaili who fell into her dream, but someone else?For some reason, his mood suddenly changed, and he no longer felt that the capital city and Xicaogou were annoying places.

Seeing the King of Beijun turn around, Xiao Tong gave him a small chair, "My lord, please—"

Xia Zhen lifted the corner of her robe, sat on the small chair, reached out to take the teacup, lowered her head and took a sip, Jing Mo stood beside him lightly: "I heard, it's extremely dangerous, the Holy Majesty has come to Prince Ning's mansion in person, the imperial doctor said to Wait for today, survive today, and survive the danger."

Xia Zhen nodded slightly, "Yes, I see."

-

In Prince Ning's mansion in the capital city, the decoction has already been boiled, but after feeding it several times, it didn't work. King Ning and Princess Ning were so anxious that mouth sores developed, "What should I do, if the medicine can't be poured in, how can I survive today?"

"My lord, my lord..." Princess Ning was so anxious that she burst into tears.

The imperial doctor was standing by the bed, and he had already changed a few maids. Even the drug boy couldn't try it himself, and he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. The Holy Majesty had just left, but he had made a guarantee in front of the Holy Majesty. If... I don't even protect my head!

Liu Zaili didn't know how anxious the person standing by the bed was for him. In his confusion, he seemed to hear someone chanting and praying. He opened his eyes and saw Master Fakong: "Master..."

Master Fakong smiled slightly: "Benefactor Liu..."

"What's the matter with me?" He looked down at himself, wearing a baggy robe, it was not like himself, lazy.

Master Fakong kindly said, "Benefactor Liu... let's let go of what should be let go..."

"I..." He suddenly looked up when he heard what the master said, "Master..."

"We will meet each other by fate!"

"Master, you said there will be a fate?" Liu Zaili asked nervously, "When will it be?"

"Amitabha...Liu benefactor..." Master Fakong looked at the joyful young man and was speechless for a moment.

King Ning was about to send someone to look for another famous doctor, when Xiao Lin, Prince of Huaiyi County, came, "Uncle——"

"Zilin—"

"Zi Li him—" He looked towards the bed.

King Ning wept sadly: "It's dangerous."

"uncle……"

"The imperial doctor said that as long as you drink the medicine, you will be fine after today, but now you can't even feed the medicine, this..." Ning Wang's old tears burst into tears again.

Xiao Lin walked to Liu Zaili's bedside, where the imperial physician and the medicine boy were feeding the medicine together, stuffing, squeezing, pulling... No matter what, the medicine would not go in, he sighed, "Use a clean brocade roll Put it into a thin tube and send it to his mouth to try!"

The imperial physician looked at Xiao Lin, "The brocade is rolled into a thin tube?"

Xiao Lin nodded, "My child was ill once, and the medicine couldn't get into his mouth. Someone used this method."

Princess Ma Erniang of Beijun used this method to feed her son. The son became dizzy due to flatulence, fever, and fever. The same was true. He didn't know how to open his mouth to take medicine. The flatulence was due to roundworms in his stomach. These roundworms almost killed his son. !

"Okay, old man, let's try."

"The brocade should be scalded in hot water."

"Okay." The imperial doctor made people busy.

King Ning looked at Xiao Lin in doubt.

In a daze, Liu Zaili was about to ask the master again, but he found a little lady kneeling behind the master. He felt familiar, so he rushed over and stretched his head to look at the pious little lady kneeling on the futon, "Second lady... He was overjoyed, "Er Niang...Er Niang..." But the other party knelt on the futon, closed his eyes and remained motionless, no matter how he yelled, he just responded.

"Two...cough...cough..."

"It's done, it's done..." The drug boy held the funnel-shaped thin tube, and the imperial physician poured medicine on it. The thin tube reached deep into his throat, and finally delivered the medicine to the stomach of King Yancheng. After a few spoonfuls, He choked and coughed.

"My son is awake... my son is awake..." King Ning cried out happily.

"Li'er... Li'er..." King Ning quickly turned around, "Zilin, thank you very much, if it wasn't for you..."

Xiao Lin cupped his hands modestly, "Uncle, in fact, I am here today to bid farewell to Zili."

"Farewell?"

Xiao Lin nodded: "I'm going to the south for more than a month, and I'll wait until Princess Rainbow comes back from her wedding."

"Oh." Ning Wang is a smart man. Xiao Lin and his son's friendship has not yet come. He came to say goodbye on purpose, probably because he heard the news of the assassination, and came to the door for two things at the same time. "Anyway, thank you today This way of thinking woke me up."

"I met by chance, it's just a matter of raising my hand, so Zilin won't bother me, and I'm leaving."

King Ning sent Xiao Lin to the entrance of the inner courtyard, "Come here often when you have time."

"Okay, Uncle." Xiao Lin turned and left Prince Ning's Mansion.

-

Aunt Shan saw that the young lady had been kneeling for less than half an hour. She was pregnant, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Young lady, it is enough when you are sincere, you can't be more..." Kneeling, in front of the Bodhisattva, she I didn't dare to say much.

Ma Min'er was not pretentious, she followed Aunt Shan's hand, stood up, turned around and joined hands with the master, "Master, can my friend escape?"

Master Fakong smiled slightly, "Where Jin Cheng came, I feel grateful for the heaven and the earth, come back, Amitabha..."

"What Jin Cheng said..." Ma Min'er read it again, and suddenly realized something, and suddenly raised her eyes, could this be the meaning of Jin Hanlai's name, "Master, but modern..." She dared not say any more Go on, but Hyundai is no longer me, this...

Master Fakong still smiled slightly, "Everything has God's will, and God's will never fools people!"

"I……"

Ma Min'er looked at Xia Zhen. He was looking at the green hills in the distance. The green hills were numerous and beautiful, and the surrounding low mountains were undulating.

The mountain road is winding and deep, and the mountain is covered with green forests, luxuriant cypresses and verdant trees.The springs in the mountains are flowing and gurgling all year round. Looking up at the peaks and mountains, the peaks are surrounded by clouds and mists, just like a fairyland on earth.

Xia Zhen turned her head without hearing their voices, "Are you ready?"

Ma Min'er smiled obediently, "Yeah." After finishing speaking, she walked to his side and took his arm, "I'm hungry, let's go back."

"Yes." Master Xia Zhenchao nodded, "I'm sorry to bother you today."

"My lord is serious."

Xiaowen handed the offerings and incense candles to the boy, and added money for sesame oil.

"Thank you sir."

"You're welcome."

A group of people followed Xia Zhen and his wife down the mountain.

Xiao Tong looked at their backs, "Master, didn't you say that Princess Beijun is a lucky person, why don't you tell her that whoever she prays to will always succeed."

Master Kongfa smiled lightly, "That's a heavenly secret, how can you say it casually, if you say it, it won't work."

"Oh I got it."

Ma Min'er thought in her heart that all she could do was to go up to the mountain to burn incense for him on the first and fifteenth day of junior high school, and pray that he would get through the difficulties.

After returning home and settling down the little daughter-in-law, Xia Zhen was startled, "Go and find out who Brother Jin is?"

"Brother Jin?" Jing Mo immediately said, "Among the people I've come into contact with, there is no one whose surname is Jin... No, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment is surnamed Jin, and his name is Xiuqi, but he has lived in Beijing for generations, and has never appeared in the north, nor I have never been in contact with the princess!"

"What you said was after she was exiled, how do you know what happened before she was exiled?"

"..." Jing Mo had nothing to say. "Yes, Lord." But before he was exiled, he was only a few years old, so why did he eat so much vinegar?
