Chapter 85 Guyue Temple
He took out four sets of protective clothing from his carriage and gave them to Zhou Shaoyu, Zhou Jin, Xu Wenrong and Xie An.
"This clothing is relatively light and thin. Although it is a bit hot, it can protect you."
Xie Anfeng recognized at a glance that this was the invulnerable clothing that he had given to the prince last time. He took it and told Zhou Shaoyu, "Put it on, and don't let Yan'er worry."
The last time Zhou Huo got information from the prince, Xie Yanyan gave the prince a set of clothes that was invulnerable to swords and knives. It was probably of this type.
Zhou Shaoyu immediately smiled.
Xie Anfeng went to accompany the prince. Xie Yanyan and three others rode out of the government office. Immediately, several groups of people reported to their master and followed quietly.
The four of them just rode their horses and galloped away.
Originally Zhou Shaoyu and Xu Wenrong were worried that Xie Yanyan was not good at riding a horse, but after a while they found that Xie Yanyan's riding skills were not inferior at all.
The Solitary Moon Temple was more than 30 miles away from Gucheng. The men rode on horseback for less than half an hour, and when they arrived there the moon was just hanging in the southeast.
The road up the mountain is only wide enough for a carriage, with tall trees on both sides, and it is quiet and a little eerie.
At the end of the road is a temple gate. The door is closed tightly. Looking inside through the crack, it seems even more secluded.
Zhou Shaoyu knocked on the door. A young monk in the corner room opened the door, put his hands together, and showed him his badge.
The little monk said respectfully, "Sir, please come in."
Several people led the horses in, tied them up, and followed the little monk inside.
This temple was different from the one Xie Yanyan had seen in her previous life. The temple covered a large area, built against the mountain, with a long stone road, farmland on one side and a stream on the other.
From time to time, some pagodas and stone tablets appear on the other side of the farmland.
After walking about 100 meters, there is an open area with two halls. Behind the halls, a five-story pagoda can be seen in the shadows, dark in the moonlight.
There are bells, drums, and morning meditation rooms on both sides, but they are very shabby.
There are few monks in the temple, but there are quite a few children, some of whom are in their teens and some of whom look only a few months old.
When the abbot heard that a distinguished person was visiting, he politely held a lantern and went to greet him in person.
He said to a monk, "Huiming, take care of these children first. I will receive the distinguished guest."
Xie Yanyan thought to herself, you don’t have to worry about us, we can just have fun by ourselves.
But she was attracted by a group of children following Huiming. Those children were not wearing monk's robes and looked more like wandering little beggars.
A boy of about seven or eight years old cried beside Huiming: "Is my brother okay? Master Huiming, my brother won't die, right?"
The child in Huiming's arms had a flushed face and looked in very bad condition.
Xie Yanyan didn't want to comprehend the old monk's incomprehensible Zen, so he said to Zhou Shaoyu: "You and the master go to meditate, I'll take care of these children."
Zhou Jin volunteered: "I'll follow Miss Xie."
Zhou Shaoyu and Xu Wenrong went into the meditation room with the abbot, and Zhou Jin followed Xie Yanyan to see the children.
Huiming carried the child into the morning class room, placed the child on a mat, and wiped the child's body with a towel dipped in cold water.
Xie Yanyan reached out and touched the child's forehead. It was very hot. He had a fever!
"What's causing his fever?"
"It was too hot, and the children went into the water, and he followed them and drowned. He saw a doctor in the afternoon, and that's it."
Huiming was dressed in rags and said with some shame, "The temple is not very popular and the donations are not much. It costs 30 coins to see a doctor and I can't afford the medicine."
Drowning and fever definitely mean inflammation and also catching a cold.
Xie Yanyan hurriedly searched the space pharmacy and found antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs for infants and young children.
The dropper dripped into the child's mouth, and Xie Yanyan gave him another dose of anti-inflammatory medicine.
Huiming looked at Xie Yanyan. Although this girl looked cold and silent, she
He pointed at the medicine and said, "Miss, can you tell me how to use and how much of these medicines?"
Of course.
Xie Yanyan wrote it and gave it to Huiming, and asked him, "Are these children all monks?"
"No, they are all from nearby areas or fleeing famine. Their parents either died in the war or their families could no longer support them, so they were sent here."
At first they only had one or two, so they raised them and sent them back after they had grown up. Later, as more and more children picked up the angels and fewer pilgrims came, it became increasingly difficult.
There were only four monks in the temple. One of them was left behind to take care of the children, and the other three, including the abbot, had to go out to beg for alms every day, but they got less and less.
Xie Yanyan didn't say anything. He took out some medicine from his cloth bag and gave it to Huiming.
For medicine for infants and young children, she used medicine from the 22nd century, packed in a soap paper box.
The adult medicines were the ones she searched for in the rooms of Old Shen and Little Shen when she came out of Wuyi Marquis' Mansion. At the current level, they were all good medicines.
He took out two silver ingots from the cloth bag hanging on the saddle and handed them to Huiming: "I don't have much with me, just these two ingots, buy rice for the children."
Huiming felt embarrassed, but it was too difficult to enter the temple, so he just chanted "Amitabha" and continued.
Xie Yanyan took out a handful of current copper coins from his cloth bag and placed them on the table: "This money might be more convenient to spend, right?"
That's right. Huiming immediately counted out 10 coins and said to the crying child, "Xiaojie, go buy some rice with Sun Chenggong, and we'll make porridge."
Sun Chenggong was about 10 years old and Xiaojie was 7 years old. They happily ran out to buy rice.
Xie Yanyan didn’t know where they went to buy rice so late at night. Maybe they went to a farmer’s house?
As he was talking, the sick child broke out in a sweat and his fever went down.
She had too few disguises and couldn't get out what she wanted to give to the sick child.
She just took out a few apples from the bag under the saddle, put them on the table, and asked the children to wash them. She cut the apples into small strips as thick as thumbs and gave them to the sick child.
The child grabbed the apple and stuffed it into his mouth desperately.
In addition to drowning, he was also very hungry.
After struggling for a while, she stood up and said, "I'm going to find Prince Zhou."
Zhou Jin remained silent and watched from behind, becoming more and more curious about Xie Yanyan. He always felt that there was something wrong with this person.
Xie Yanyan suddenly turned around and asked him, "Are you surprised that I brought something?"
"Ah? I am a little surprised." Zhou Jin was taken aback, but still said honestly, "I didn't expect you to carry so many rare things with you."
"There are so many things you don't know!"
Miss Xie seemed angry, so Zhou Jin shut up decisively and swore that he would never be curious again.
I went to the back of the hall to look for Zhou Shaoyu and happened to see Xu Wenrong sitting at the door.
"Cousin, why are you sitting here?"
"Prince Zhou is talking to the master inside, so I am here to enjoy the moon."
As they were talking, Zhou Shaoyu came out and said excitedly, "Let's go, Master wants us to go to the Lone Moon Tower to see the moon."
The Solitary Moon Tower is the five-story tower on the back mountain.
This is also the main reason why Solitary Moon Temple got its name.
I originally thought that the Solitary Moon Tower was an isolated tower built halfway up a hill, but when I went around it I realized that the tower was in a courtyard.
The yard was not big, but rather secluded, with fallen leaves all over the ground. It seemed that no one had been there for a long time. She immediately thought of the ghosts in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
Xie Yanyan suddenly stopped and pulled Zhou Shaoyu.
