Chapter 284 Do Fifteen Things That Make Me Happy Kiss
Gu Nan felt timid.
She was afraid of hearing more news of infection and seeing their fragile and helpless appearance.
Apart from a few insignificant words, she could do nothing to help them.
To make matters worse, two more people developed fever.
The moment he heard the other party say hesitantly, "I think I have a fever too" and "Will I die?", the calm expression on his face shattered in an instant.
She had no special medicine, no magic spells that could kill people, she only had some common sense about epidemic prevention, and she locked them up in this narrow quarantine area.
And that won't save them.
The first three people to develop a fever began to cough, filling the quarantine area in the night with an ominous deathly aura.
She couldn't help showing a look of pain.
"Donor Gu Nan, you don't have to be sad for me. I'm not sad." De Zhao was wearing a mask, his voice was hoarse and muffled, as if he had completely lost his innocence and childishness.
"I'm not sad. I'm just thinking about what to make for breakfast tomorrow." Gu Nan said as cheerfully as possible, "How about frying an egg for each of you? You probably don't eat much, do you?"
Dezhao shook his head honestly, "There are rules in the temple that prohibit eating eggs."
"Yes, it's edible. Last time, I saw Master Wu accepting eggs given to him by others."
De Zhao was shocked, his eyes widened. Looking closely, it seemed as if a layer of water film covered his eyeballs, ready to turn into tears and fall down at any moment. "Really?"
Gu Nan nodded vigorously, "Really, so you can eat it without worry."
"No wonder Master Liaowu is so strong. He stole the eggs and called me a chick." Dezhao was immediately embarrassed and angry, but still hesitated, "But Master won't let me eat them."
"Just don't tell Master Hui Fafa. I'm picking out eggs that won't hatch chicks for you. You're just a novice, so it's not against your precepts. Besides, if you don't eat some good supplements, how will your illness heal?"
The precepts for a novice monk are indeed relaxed, and the reason for improving one's health is also reasonable. Even Master Hui Fazhi would not blame him here.
But Dezhao still refused, "Save it for others."
Gu Nan's nose felt sore.
She could see that he wanted to eat.
Children in their teens are in the growth stage, and they have to swallow grass cores like a cow, let alone De Zhao, a greedy cat.
He was thinking about the preserved fruits hidden under his cupboard, but insisted on leaving the eggs for others.
Gu Nan held back his tears, put down his dinner, left the quarantine area and went back to Fayuan Temple.
When taking Dezhao and others' things yesterday, Master Huifa was alarmed. Gu Nan made an appointment to explain his disciple's situation to him tonight.
The candlelight in the Zen room was still on. Gu Nan walked in, and he couldn't express the words that tore his heart apart.
Hui Wu had imagined the worst possible outcome, but Gu Nan's silence still broke his heart.
Buddhists have long known that everything is determined by cause and effect, death is not the end, and there is a new life in reincarnation.
But this time, those who came down the mountain were all lively and active young disciples. They had not yet entered the Tao, and had not even received full ordination. They were just children struggling to survive among the countless living beings.
Even if he sprained his ankle, he would ask him for three to five days off, but now he was facing the plague alone at the foot of the mountain.
Huiwu watched them grow up and how could she bear to hear the bad news about them.
"Donor Gu, I want to go see them tomorrow morning."
"De Zhao will definitely be happy to see you."
Hui Wu understood, closed his eyes, and recited a Buddhist verse in a trembling voice.
There is no wind tonight and the night is bright and clear.
The vast earth is like a round silver plate, and everyone is like the fish rolling and being fried in the plate. No one knows when they will be chosen.
Gu Nan sat on the high city wall, sewing a mask with his clumsy needlework in the snow.
There was a basket of cotton soaked in medicine at hand, and the faint medicinal fragrance clashed with the cold air in the middle of the night.
“Squeak—”
The sudden sound of stepping on snow came from a distance.
Gu Nan raised his eyes and saw a long team slowly walking out of the dark forest.
The leader was extremely tall, with broad shoulders that almost blocked out the figures behind him. He walked steadily and had a dignified demeanor, but the most eye-catching thing about him was his old monk's robe that was covered in patches.
It's pure.
Half a month later, he returned from Qingjing Peak.
Leading a group of ragged and panic-stricken refugees, he walked towards Gu Nan without hesitation, as if he knew that Kyoto was safe.
Gu Nan stood on the watchtower and said to the people not far away: "Stop."
Junyi stopped, and the refugees following him also stopped, like frightened birds, and spontaneously gathered into a group to hide behind Junyi.
Gu Nan took out the paper and pen stored in the sentry tower and said, "Name, age, and place of origin. You will not be allowed to pass if you don't report it."
The refugees looked at each other in surprise.
They followed Junyi through two cities, all of which were in chaos. Only Kyoto had a watchtower built and people were watching day and night.
Behind the watchtower, there were no flames rising into the sky, no pungent smoke, and no miserable cries in the city of Kyoto. This city was peaceful and quiet, like a pure land.
They saw hope and reported the information one after another without hesitation.
Gu Nan finished the statistics, got down from the watchtower, and said to the refugees, "Follow me. You will be isolated for three days. After three days, if you show no symptoms of infection, you will be allowed to enter the city."
Then he pointed at Junyi and said, "You stay here."
There was no greeting, and there seemed to be no estrangement. The guardhouse was handed over to him in a businesslike manner, as if the unpleasantness before leaving was an illusion.
Chunyi remained silent, watching Gu Nan lead the refugees into the quarantine area.
Soon, the isolation area was lit up with fire, and the sound of light conversations and doors opening and closing were particularly clear in the cold and silent night.
He withdrew his gaze and once again scanned the two newly built watchtowers.
Climbing up the stairs, the narrow watchtower is equipped with tables, chairs, paper and pens, as well as two bows and four quivers. If the guard has good aim, he can kill more than a hundred people.
Even though he had already glimpsed some fragments in his dream of Fazhan, everything Gu Nan did still made him feel overwhelmed.
She is kind, but also decisive.
Although he is well aware of the evil of human nature, he still has compassion for the world and helps everyone.
His fingertips stroked the brand new feather arrow, and a hint of uncontrollable sadness gradually flowed into his lowered eyes.
When Gu Nan came back after settling the refugees, he saw Chunyi touching the arrow with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want it?"
Junyi withdrew his hand, "No need."
Gu Nan threw the brush into the brush washing pool and sat down at the table. "What did you learn at Qingjing Peak?"
"Talisman."
"How long have you been gone?"
"The fifteenth."
"Fifteen days." Gu Nan said, "Then you already owe me fifteen conditions."
"Tell me all the natural disasters that will happen next, and I'll cancel these fifteen conditions and all future ones. How about that?"
Chunyi looked at him silently, her deep and sharp phoenix eyes were calm. She was indifferent to Gu Nan's proposal, and her rejection was obvious.
Gu Nan was disappointed, but not much. After all, he had known for a long time that Chunyi had such a bad temper.
But she was very angry, sneered, and said deliberately:
"Then let's start settling accounts. Do fifteen things that make me happy. If you can't do them, don't get married."
Junyi looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes, bent down and kissed her on the lips.
