Chapter 27: Just Don’t Ask



Li's face was full of sorrow.

He glared fiercely at Lin Siqing who was standing beside him.

Doctor Wang took advantage of his free time and ran away.

Lin Siqing covered her mouth and laughed secretly. "Mother-in-law, you don't have to be so frugal. We are not short of money. You should fix the tooth as soon as possible."

"It's none of your business whether I mend my teeth or not." Li left angrily.

"Mother-in-law, am I not caring about you?" Lin Siqing shouted loudly from behind.

【The old lady with a leak.】

"Shuang Ning, go to the Braised Food House and buy some of my mother-in-law's favorite braised pig's trotters, big bones, and chicken feet, and send them to her."

Shuang Ning suppressed her smile. "Yes, madam."

[My mother is really evil now.] Shang Yangyang giggled.

Lin Siqing pinched Shang Yangyang's little nose. "Our Yangyang is so easy to be happy."

【Hehe~】

Yangcheng at this time.

"Ouch, Abbot, how could you be so careless and fall there?"

"Come here and help me back." Abbot Luo Qing pointed at the bearded man who spoke.

"Here I am." The bearded man stepped forward and helped Abbot Luo Qing up.

"Abbot, did you hurt your waist, arms, or legs?"

Abbot Luo Qing grimaced in pain. "It's okay."

"Abbot, how come Governor Wang fell down right after he arrived at the temple?"

Abbot Luo Qing did not speak.

"What's wrong, Abbot?" The little monk ran over when he heard the voice.

The bearded man said: "You came at the right time. The abbot just fell on his butt by accident. Go find a doctor to check on him."

"That..." Abbot Luo Qing was interrupted by the bearded man before he could finish his words.

"Abbot, you can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor. Go quickly and I will help you back."

"Okay." The little monk ran to find the doctor.

Abbot Luo Qing frowned, he wanted his disciple to help him go back.

"Don't worry, Abbot. It's okay to fall."

The bearded man, seemingly unable to tell who was a good person or a bad person, insisted on helping Abbot Luo Qing back.

"Moyu, thank you for your help today. I don't have anything else to do here. Please go back to the kitchen first."

"It's alright, Abbot. I'll stay here with you until the doctor comes and then I'll leave."

Abbot Luo Qing's mouth twitched. "Okay."

The bearded man was busy pouring a glass of water for Abbot Luo Qing. "Abbot, drink some water first."

"Okay." Abbot Luo Qing gave up struggling and drank the water.

After a while, Abbot Luo Qing fell asleep.

The bearded man went forward to check, and after making sure that Abbot Luo Qing was asleep, he took a chair and sat beside Abbot Luo Qing's bed.

After a cup of tea, the young monk came back with the doctor, and Abbot Luo Qing on the bed also woke up.

Doctor: "The abbot is fine, he just twisted his waist, just rest well for a few days.

I am prescribing some medicine for the abbot. Please ask someone to come with me to get it."

"good."

Bearded. "Abbot, you take a rest first. I will go get the medicine with the doctor."

"Um."

Abbot Luo Qing hurriedly called the young monk next to him. "How long have I slept?"

"About a cup of tea."

"How could I fall asleep?" Abbot Luo Qing muttered softly.

With a worried look on his face, he ordered, "You go out first."

The little monk left the room and closed the door.

Abbot Luo Qing sat up on the bed and first checked under his bed to see if there were any signs of movement.

Seeing that the woman's hair he had placed there was still in its original place, he opened the secret compartment to make sure that nothing inside had been moved.

Abbot Luo Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Qing remembered something and ran to the bookshelf. He picked up a Buddhist scripture from the bookshelf, turned the switch inside, and trotted into the secret room.

"What's going on today?"

The guard in the secret room. "Abbot, a few more women were brought in just now."

Luo Qing looked at the cage on the side, where several women were huddled together and crying.

"Well, today, Governor Wang and officials from the capital came to our temple. You should be more alert and careful."

"Yes, the abbot is coming tonight, hehe~" the guard said with a lewd smile on his face.

"Yeah." Abbot Luo Qing suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist. "It depends on the situation."

Abbot Luo Qing turned and left, exiting the secret room and returning to his room.

What he didn't know was that just now a person suddenly appeared in his room, took some things in the house, and left through the window.

Abbot Luo Qing held his waist and lay back on the bed.

At this time, the bearded man had already returned to the kitchen with the medicine and was boiling it for Abbot Luo Qing.

A few monks saw him making medicine and came forward and said, "Cuyu, you go ahead and do your work. We will go back and have some sleep."

"Well, you guys go and get some rest. I'll make the medicine for the abbot and then prepare dinner."

"Cuttlefish, thank you for your hard work."

The bearded man smiled foolishly: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys go and have some rest."

Several people left.

A moment later, a man in black flew into the yard.

"General, the antidote is in hand."

The bearded man with a smiling face was Shang Yuanshan in disguise. "Okay. Have you put all the things in there?"

Mu Yun nodded. "It has been put away. By the way, there is a secret passage leading to the secret room in the abbot's room of the general."

Shang Yuanshan said in a low voice: "Luo Qing is as cunning as a fox. Go and inform my brother immediately. Be extra careful in tonight's actions."

"Yes." Mu Yun responded and retreated, his figure quickly disappearing.

Shang Yuanshan returned to the medicine furnace and continued to concentrate on boiling the medicine. From time to time, the medicine pot could be heard gurgling and boiling. Only Shang Yuanshan knew what he had added to the medicine.

Soon, he called a young monk and told him, "Send these medicines to the abbot's meditation room."

While the monks in the temple were resting, Shang Yuanshan washed the vegetables and steamed the rice until it was fragrant.

When several monks returned to the kitchen in high spirits, Shang Yuanshan had already begun skillfully stir-frying the dishes in the pot.

"Cuyu, haven't you had a rest?" An old monk with a kind face said to Shang Yuanshan with a smile.

"I just finished boiling the medicine and took a short nap. Now that it's almost time, I'll hurry to prepare dinner." Shang Yuanshan replied, the spatula in his hand dancing quickly in the pot.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Squid. After the meal is ready, you should also go to bed early." The old monk said with concern.

"Okay." Shang Yuanshan nodded with a smile.

The kitchen was busy and orderly. After a short while, the vegetarian meals for the entire temple were prepared, and even the bucket of special pig food had been mixed evenly.

Shang Yuanshan asked with some curiosity: "Brother Lingjue, I have a question. We don't raise pigs in our temple, so why do we have to prepare a bucket of pig food every day?"

Monk Lingjue patted Shang Yuanshan's shoulder gently, his eyes revealing a hint of deep meaning: "Moyu, you just need to concentrate on doing the task at hand, and don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about."

"I understand." Shang Yuanshan nodded, still with that gentle smile on his face.

Meals from the kitchen were delivered to all the yards.

As the sky gradually darkened, Jingrong Temple became exceptionally quiet.
