Chapter 32
Lu Rengu wanted to go forward, but he was afraid that the snake would startle and bite the little girl again.
He had to take out his dagger, and approached slowly, while reminding in a soft voice: "Be careful, Qianqian, that snake is poisonous! Don't be afraid, don't move, and wait for me to come." But
Liu Ruoqian was not nervous at all, and said carelessly: " It's okay, Brother Agu, it won't bite me."
As he spoke, he exerted force with his hand, and finally pulled the snake wrapped around her trouser leg.
Then he stood up, swung his arms round, swung them around twice, and then swung the poisonous snake far away.
There was a rustling sound in the grass, and then there was no movement.
Seeing that the little girl was safe and sound, but she was still clapping her hands and laughing foolishly, Lu Rengu heaved a sigh of relief, put away the dagger, and then smiled too.
Yes, how could he forget that cats are not afraid of snakes.
But he still stepped forward, took out the handkerchief, took the little girl's hand that caught the snake, and wiped it slowly for her: "Qianqian, if you see a poisonous snake in the future, you should be careful, one bite will cause trouble." Liu
Ruoqian Nod obediently and obediently: "I know."
[I'm not afraid, I've eaten so many beautiful big mushrooms, and I'm still afraid of snakes, hehe, I'm immune to all poisons. ]
Hearing the pride and pride in the little girl's tone, Lu Rengu raised his eyebrows.
Invulnerable to all poisons? Is the little cat demon so powerful?
The two of them walked forward holding hands, climbing all the way along the weedy and crooked mountain path.
He thought that the little girl would yell that she was tired after crawling for a while, and he was ready to hold the cat, but he didn't expect that the little cat demon would become more energetic as he crawled, and his whole body was in a state of almost excitement.
With such excitement, it felt like if he hadn't pulled her a little bit, she would have jumped into the sky.
Lu Rengu was amazed.
The two of them came to a small waterfall formed by a mountain spring all the way. There was a bottomless green pool surrounded by colorful flowers and groups of butterflies dancing among the flowers. is beautiful.
There is no little girl who would not like this kind of beauty, Liu Ruoqian let go of Lu Rengu's hand, and rushed over, fascinated by the beauty.
While wowing, she ran after the butterflies, and after a while the butterflies chased her again...
This reminded Lu Rengu that many years ago, when his little orange cat was chasing butterflies in the imperial garden, he was so happy take off.
With a slight smile on the corner of Lu Rengu's mouth, he watched the cat fluttering for a while, then stretched out his hand to lift up the sleeve of his left arm, and carefully inspected the wound.
The place where the little girl had carefully applied the golden sore medicine, the burning pain before had disappeared.
But the injury remained the same, without any visible changes.
As for the small piece of the little girl's saliva he had smeared, the wound was almost healed.
If he hadn't intentionally applied it on the middle of a long wound, looking at the near-intact skin where the long wound was abruptly cut off, I'm afraid even he himself would remember it wrongly, this place seems to be uninjured.
The cat's saliva is truly miraculous.
Lu Rengu put down his sleeves, stood with his hands behind his back, and quietly watched the cat play happily.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sun was scorching hot. After playing with the butterfly for a while, Liu Ruoqian's forehead was covered with sweat, and her cheeks were flushed like rouge.
too hot.
She squatted by the pool, washed her hands first, then her face, and then kept pulling the water to one side with both hands.
After soaking in the cold water for a long time, when she thought she had taken away all the face and hand water, she took a handful of it with her hands and tasted it carefully.
Cool and sweet, it is worthy of mountain spring water.
Liu Ruoqian drank a few swigs, took another handful, got up and walked to Lu Rengu, raised her hand on tiptoe and fed him: "Brother Agu, drink it, it's so sweet.
" The girl kept raising her hand, looking at him with big eyes, unable to bear to refuse, he bent down and took a sip from the little girl's hand. After Lu Rengu finished drinking, Liu Ruoqian shook the remaining water on the ground, wiped her wet hands on Lu Rengu's clothes, and raised her face, asking for credit: "Qianqian didn't lie to you, is it delicious? " It's delicious." Lu Rengu raised his hand and stroked the little girl's sweat-wet hair from her temples to one side: "But it's hot?" Liu Ruoqian shook her head: "I'm not afraid of heat, even if I stay in the sun for a whole day. " Qianqian is amazing." Lu Rengu followed the little girl's words and praised her. Not far away, Zou Qi came over and made a gesture that everything was done. Lu Rengu nodded, and walked forward holding Liu Ruoqian's hand: "Take you to a good place." "What good place?" Liu Ruoqian asked curiously. But Lu Rengu was mysterious and refused to say: "You will know when you arrive." The two followed Zou Qi, circling east and west, and came to a deep forest. This is an ancient camphor forest. The camphor trees that have been around for an unknown number of years are thick and luxuriant, and the huge canopy is full of branches and leaves, blocking the sun and making it almost impenetrable. Feeling the abundant aura, Liu Ruoqian closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling comfortable from head to toe. [In another hundred or so years, these trees will probably become like me, becoming spirits. 】 Lu Rengu held the little girl's hand and listened carefully, wanting to know how long she had lived, but Mao'er's thoughts jumped and started nagging about something else. [This Wantuo Mountain is similar to the mountain I stayed in before, full of aura, I wonder if there are any goblins here. 】
The little goblin used to stay on the mountain, but it was a lynx, not a house cat? Lu Rengu looked at her.
"Hey, brother Agu, there seems to be a nest in that tree." Liu Ruoqian pointed at the top of her head and asked curiously, "Is it the eagle's, or why is the nest so big?" Lu Rengu chuckled lightly: "Go, go and
see Just look."
Already used to being hugged, Liu Ruoqian consciously opened her arms, and when His Majesty hugged her legs, she very naturally put her arms on his shoulders and wrapped them around his neck.
Lu Rengu touched the ground with his toes, and floated up the tree with the man in his arms. Standing on the branch in front of the shack, he put the man down carefully.
It was a circular nest made of branches, and the space inside was large enough to hold two people.
A thick layer of green grass was spread in the nest, some wild fruits were piled up on the grass mat, and many flowers were planted beside the nest, colorful and everything.
Liu Ruoqian saw the nest clearly, widened her eyes in surprise, pointed at the nest, and pointed to herself: "Brother Agu, is this for me?"
Lu Rengu nodded: "Do you still like it?"
Liu Ruoqian has a pair of beautiful The big eyes were bent into crescents, and he grabbed Lu Rengu's hand and shook it: "I like it, Qianqian likes it so much! Brother Agu, thank you."
Lu Rengu touched the top of her head: "Just like it, go in and have a look "
Liu Ruoqian responded, let go of Lu Rengu's hand, bent down and got into the nest, and lay down directly.
Rolling in the soft, fluffy nest exuding the fragrance of green grass, the little girl was having fun.
Seeing the cat happy, Lu Rengu couldn't help laughing.
Liu Ruoqian rolled around twice, sat up, and stretched out her hand to His Majesty the Emperor standing outside the tree nest: "Brother Agu, you come in too." "
Okay." Lu Rengu lowered his head, bent down, and entered the tree nest.
Standing under the tree, Zou Qi, whose neck was about to break, thought to himself, luckily he had the foresight to lead someone to make the shack bigger, and look, His Majesty actually got in too.
Zou Qi estimated the distance between where he was standing and the tree nest, and led the Golden Wolf Guards to spread out to make sure they were three feet away.
Although until now, he still doesn't understand why His Majesty suddenly made a rule not to come within three feet of him without permission, but everyone still obeyed the order.
Although I sometimes forget it, and His Majesty doesn't care about it, when I can remember it, everyone still strictly abides by it.
The space in the tree nest is not small, but Lu Rengu's figure is too tall. As soon as he sat in, the originally spacious space suddenly became cramped and crowded.
At first the two sat facing each other, their legs almost touching each other.
Lu Rengu could feel the little girl's breath, with an indescribable sweetness, and it seemed to have a medicinal fragrance, which was faint and pleasant.
It was Liu Ruoqian who felt that when the two of them were sitting face to face, her head had to be raised all the time, and her neck was so tired that she forced the two of them to sit side by side.
She picked up the pile of fruits and put them between the two of them, picked one to smell, and handed it to Lu Rengu, with a sly look in her eyes: "Brother Agu, do you eat fruits?" [This is super sour, hehe
. 】
Lu Rengu suppressed a smile, and patted her head: "Qianqian eats."
Liu Ruoqian was not willing to eat it, but after begging Lu Rengu twice, she put the fruit back on the straw mat.
【Who picked this fruit, don't taste it, are you stupid? 】
She was playing with the fruits, and she was picking them, when she suddenly laughed so hard that the branches trembled.
[This tree nest is like the chicken coop that my father used to make out of straw. His Majesty and I are like two chickens. These fruits are the eggs we laid, hehehe...] Lu Rengu stroked the
little girl's hair with his hands : "..."
naughty.
The little girl smiled and kept looking at Lu Rengu with her eyes, the more she looked at it, the more she laughed, until finally she collapsed from laughing and couldn't get up on the straw mat.
Lu Rengu looked at her amusedly.
Liu Ruoqian lay on her side in the tree nest, pillowing her arm, looking at Lu Rengu with a smile.
Looking at it, he squinted his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.
Seeing that she was asleep, Lu Rengu also lay down on his side, reaching out and
stroking her head gently.
It's really a cat, and it sleeps when it says sleep.
---
When Liu Ruoqian woke up, it was already noon, and Lu Rengu was no longer in the nest.
The sun was warm and full of aura. After sleeping in the tree nest, she felt as if she had come back to life again. Her whole body was full of energy.
Stretching a lot, and rolling twice on the straw mat, Liu Ruoqian got up and got out of the tree nest.
Holding the branch of the tree and looking down, he saw Lu Rengu standing in the forest with his hands behind his back, talking to Zou Qi.
The voices of the two were too low for her to hear.
Not wanting to disturb the two of them, Liu Ruoqian held on to the branches and trunk of the tree, carefully trying to climb down.
Before he had climbed twice while holding the tree trunk, he was hugged by a pair of powerful hands and fell to the ground directly.
Lu Rengu took the little girl's hand and looked at her little face that was puffed up in sleep: "But are you hungry?"
Liu Ruoqian nodded, "Brother Agu, let's go back to eat.
" . ]
Lu Rengu took her hand and walked forward: "I have someone catch the fish, and I have already grilled it, and I can eat it when I go back."
Liu Ruoqian grabbed Lu Rengu's sleeve and shook it, with a bright smile and a sweet voice Like honey: "Brother Agu, you are so kind."
Greedy kitten. Lu Rengu smiled and said nothing.
Back in the courtyard, the vegetarian meal from Yuanfa Temple has been delivered, and it is still all vegetarian dishes.
Fortunately, Golden Wolf Guard's fish grilling skills are top-notch, and Liu Ruoqian finished eating a not-so-small grilled fish by himself.
After lunch, everyone still had nothing to do.
From His Majesty the Emperor, to Quan Fu, to Mr. Zou, and to the Golden Wolf Guards who have been on duty for two shifts outside, everyone has nothing to do.
At noon, the sun was scorching outside, His Majesty did not let Liu Ruoqian go out, she sat on the couch in the room, feeling extremely bored. Staring blankly out of the window for a while, she turned her head and asked inexplicably, "Brother Agu, why did we come to live in
this Yuanfa Temple?"
, might as well go back to the palace.
Lu Rengu put down his teacup, got up from the table, walked to the couch and sat down, and stretched out his hand to the little girl, "Qianqian, come."
Liu Ruoqian walked a few steps from the window to Lu Rengu's side.
Lu Rengu patted his leg, and Liu Ruoqian tilted his head to look at him: "Why?" Lu Rengu
didn't answer, he directly picked up the little girl and put her on the couch, letting her head rest on his leg , and then gently stroked the top of her head with a big hand.
[Brother Agu seems to have suddenly become fond of touching my head. 】
Looking at the whispers in the little girl's heart, Lu Rengu smiled and said nothing, and used the way and strength he used to stroke the cat, stroking the little girl's head one after another.
Sure enough, the little cat demon narrowed her eyes comfortably.
[Although I don't know why Brother Agu likes to touch my head, but it's so comfortable. 】
Lu Rengu smiled, and said warmly: "Qianqian, we come to live on the mountain because every year on the day of the Ghost Festival, my headache will be very serious, and it will be much easier to live in the temple."
Liu Ruoqian opened her eyes and reached out to touch his forehead: "Then do you have a headache now, do you want me to recite scriptures for you?"
Lu Rengu held the little girl's hand: "It won't happen during the day, but only at night."
"It hurts every night?"
"It's bearable on weekdays, but the night of the Ghost Festival is really hard." "Hungry
Ghost Festival, isn't that the Ghost Festival? Why does your head hurt more on Ghost Festival?" "
I don't know, maybe , I killed too many people." Lu Rengu rubbed his big palm on the little girl's furry head, his tone was flat.
The headache problem came after he was struck by lightning and gained the ability to read minds.
It's just that when I was young, it wasn't that serious.
As he got older, more and more people died under his hands, and this headache became more and more serious.
He didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now who knows, maybe those ghosts are haunting him.
Although Lu Rengu's tone was flat, with a soft complexion and a slight smile, Liu Ruoqian felt a little lonely in him.
She didn't want to comment on the murder, but just patted Lu Rengu's arm as a comfort: "So, the purpose of reading the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" is to save those who died?" "I don't know, it
is Master Huaikong came up with a method, but he didn't explain much." Lu Rengu replied. "Is chanting useful?" Liu Ruoqian asked.
"Other people read it, it has some effect." Lu Rengu nodded, and said: "But Qianqian's reading is the most useful. I haven't thanked Xie Qianqian properly yet." Of course, he wants to tell her the little girl's credit, maybe
she Knowing how important she is to him, he will no longer be afraid that he will eat her.
"It's good if it's useful." Liu Ruoqian bent her eyes and patted Lu Rengu's arm generously: "Brother Agu, you don't have to be polite to me, I'm your beauty Liu." Lu Rengu
chuckled One voice: "Okay, then Zhen, I will not be polite to my beauty Liu."
Thinking of what Zou Qi said earlier, Liu Ruoqian asked again: "Brother Agu, are you going to live in the temple tonight?"
Lu Rengu: "I was listening to Master Huaikong last night and had a headache. It would be much better. So tonight, I don’t think you need to go there.”
Liu Ruoqian nodded: “Then tonight, I’ll recite the scriptures for you earlier.”
---
Because I don’t know what will happen tonight, the sky is not completely dark yet, big guy I ate dinner early.
Liu Ruoqian had never seen Lu Rengu's terrible headache attack on the Ghost Festival, and circled around him cheerfully, and Lu Rengu also talked with her like a normal person.
Except for these two, everyone else looked solemn, as if they were facing an enemy.
Chi Mowei played chess with Grandmaster Huaikong at Yuanfa Temple for half a day, and he also rushed back at this moment: "Your Majesty, everything is ready for Grandmaster Huaikong's side. If Your Majesty needs it, you can go there at any time." Lu Rengu
nodded "Uncle Chi, I'm fine at the moment, I don't have any discomfort."
Chi Mowei looked at Lu Rengu carefully, and seeing that he was indeed all right, he nodded and said, "It's best if there's nothing wrong, wait until night to see what's going on." , Your Majesty will leave first, just in the side room, just call if you have something to do."
Lu Rengu nodded.
Chi Mo saluted Liu Ruoqian, then said politely to Liu Ruoqian: "Your Majesty, there is Lady Lao Liu here."
Liu Ruoqian hurriedly blessed her and returned the salute: "Your Majesty Chi, you are welcome." The reason why
His Majesty treats her so well is probably because she is His beauty, perhaps because she is the best at reciting sutras for him, so she is quite indulgent, and many things follow her.
In front of him, she dared to be presumptuous according to her temper, after all, he was his husband.
Because of His Majesty's attitude towards her, Quan Fu and Zou Qi also treated her very kindly and friendly.
But only this Master Chi, although she looked much more kind than Brother Agu, she was inevitably a little nervous when she saw him.
She could feel that if she
dared to do anything to hurt His Majesty the Emperor, Lord Chi would kill her immediately. So in front of him, she still pays more attention.
Seeing the serious look of the little girl, and thinking of how happy she was chasing butterflies and catching snakes during the day, the corners of Lu Rengu's mouth couldn't stop rising.
Chi Mowei glanced at Lu Rengu, then retreated respectfully.
As soon as it was completely dark, everyone outside all stared at the main room with nervous expressions.
Quan Fu also deliberately opened the door, and he stood guard at the door.
Seeing this, Liu Ruoqian pulled Lu Rengu to the side of the bed, and lay him down: "Brother Agu, lie down quickly, and I will recite the scriptures for you."
Lu Rengu lay on the bed, felt it very carefully, his mind was even was relaxed and showed no signs of pain.
He said truthfully: "Qianqian, I don't have a headache at the moment, I can wait a little longer." "
No, look at those people outside, they wish they could all squeeze into the room to guard you, Quanfu is going to cry, I'll give you a back If they read the scriptures, they can feel more at ease." Liu Ruoqian stood by the bed and said with her hips crossed.
The little girl's voice is soft and waxy, but her small appearance is a bit domineering.
For a long time, no one controlled him with such a tone.
Lu Rengu chuckled, "Okay, then listen to Qianqian."
With permission, Liu Ruoqian kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.
She climbed to the head of the bed, sat beside Lu Rengu, hugged his head, and wrapped her two slender arms around his neck: "Brother Agu, you might be better if I hold your head."
[ My mother was sick when I was a child, so I got into her bed and slept with my mother in my arms. As a result, my mother recovered completely the next day. 】
[Except for the first year when I first came home, my parents, elder brother and second elder brother would get sick from time to time, but after that, they are all in good health. Qianqian is amazing. ]
At such a close distance, the little girl's sweet smell with a hint of medicine smelled into her nostrils, and Lu Rengu suddenly felt that the tired and heavy head was more refreshing.
I have already learned that the little girl is a goblin, so no matter what skills she shows, Lu Rengu no longer finds it strange.
I just couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it turned out that he wasn't just bad luck.
Meeting a little girl is his greatest blessing and luck.
"Brother Agu, don't be afraid, Qianqian is here."
Liu Ruoqian held Lu Rengu's head in her arms, patted his chest gently, and slowly began to recite the "Ksitigarbha Sutra".
The soft and waxy voice sounded from above his head, Lu Rengu felt relaxed physically and mentally, and slowly closed his eyes.
The gentle girlish voice, reciting the scriptures calmly, carries a kind of calming power.
The doors and windows of the house were all open, and the sound of chanting sutras was heard outside, and everyone who was anxious in every possible way breathed a sigh of relief.
Until midnight, half past midnight, there was still only the sound of Liu Meiren chanting sutras in the room, and His Majesty the Emperor was still quiet.
Quan Fu stood at the door, with his entire upper body already poking in. Behind him is Zou Qi, and Chi Mowei.
At this moment in previous years, His Majesty was in such pain that he was either unconscious and wanted to hurt himself, or passed out.
But tonight, it was too peaceful, they couldn't believe it, and they were also worried, for fear that His Majesty passed out and Liu Meiren didn't notice.
Liu Ruoqian looked over and saw Quan Fubi pointing at His Majesty the Emperor.
Liu Ruoqian nodded, expressing her understanding, stretched out her fingers to poke under Lu Rengu's nose, and asked softly, "Brother Agu?"
Lu Rengu stretched out his hand to hold her finger, opened his eyes, looked at the little girl with deep eyes, and said in a low and lazy voice, "I'm fine, and my head doesn't hurt." "That's good."
Liu Ruoqian's eyebrows and eyes curved , rushed to the door and said: "Your Majesty is well, you don't have to worry."
Lu Rengu sat up and waved his hands: "I'm fine, you go and rest."
Seeing that Lu Rengu was well, Zou Qi turned around and said, quietly There was a rough cheer from the yard.
Chi Mowei stood at the door and nodded to Lu Rengu, then turned and left.
Quan Fu wept with joy, wiped his eyes, and bowed to the two people on the bed: "I will not disturb your Majesty and Miss Liu's rest, I will keep vigil outside the door, and if you need something, please call." Waiting for Lu Rengu to nod, Quan
Fu Fu wiped his tears with a smile while closing the door.
Outside the courtyard wall, under the pavilion in the backyard of Yuanfa Temple, Master Huaikong, who had been sitting empty for half the night, put his palms together, said "Amitabha", and got up to leave.
"Qianqian, you have saved me several times." Lu Rengu held the little girl's hand and said in a very sincere tone, "You are my savior. From now on, I will protect you and treat you well." Lu
Rengu Rengu's expression was too serious, and his words sounded like love words, which made Liu Ruoqian feel a little embarrassed, blinking her big eyes, and said, "Oh, Brother Agu, don't say that, I didn't do anything, just recite scriptures " Lu Rengu saw the little girl shaking her body in embarrassment, he stretched out two hands, supported the little girl's head, and looked at each other: "Qianqian, you hugged me and recited scriptures all night, This is what saved my life." Seeing His Majesty the Emperor being so sincere, Liu Ruoqian smiled. [Oh, brother Agu is really serious. Qianqian is a 500-year-old ginseng, such a trivial matter is nothing. ] [Besides, I don't want to be a little widow either. Brother Agu is so kind to me, if he dies, I will remarry, and I may not know what kind of marriage I will marry. If I meet someone who beats his wife, it will be bad luck, and I will have to remarry again later. 】
