The rain cave warms the old feelings and the doctor explores the cause of the disease
Inside the tent, Feng Liunian said, "Master Shen, do you want to go out for a horse ride?"
"What's so fun about this?" Shen Shaobai said
"The scenery of this frontier, the Gobi Desert, is naturally different from that of the Central Plains. You gallop on horseback, raising dust, and take in all the scenery along the way. It is vast and boundless, and everything moves at your will. You feel indescribable freedom and an inexplicable leisure." Feng Liunian said
"Wow, what you said makes me yearn for it. Naturally, I want to experience it." Shen Shaobai said
The two men rode on horseback and came to an open area. They saw the terrifyingly high sky and the endless mountain peaks that could not reach the edge of the clouds. The clouds floated freely and moved with the wind, following them like a shadow. The wind changed its taste as they ran, with a hint of sweetness mixed with the fragrance of soil. They reached out their hands and touched it, as if the wind was soft, folding up layer by layer, big and small, hard and soft. Suddenly it started to rain, and the fragrance from the ground rose up, making it difficult to see clearly. There were bursts of rumbling thunder, and the two men got drenched in the rain and ran into a cave to light a fire.
"It's so refreshing, today's experience is really worth it, Brother Liunian, you have a great time." Shen Shaobai said happily
"Of course, walking with Brother Shen is a good story." Feng Liunian said
"Where do I start this good story?" Shen Shaobai asked.
"Of course, the scenery of the frontier is not as good as the beauty's unrestrained and free-spirited beauty. Riding with you is a blessing in life. How happy it is." Feng Liunian said
The cave in the darkness was illuminated by the fire, and the flames were soaring high that they seemed to be burning out their lives to warm the cave. Feng Liunian quietly watched the young man roasting himself by the fire. It took him twelve years to get here, and he finally hoped that this moment would be his whole life, and time would freeze here. Shen Shaobai saw Feng Liunian's face through the fire. The firelight illuminated him, with clear and bright eyes, a tall nose, and lips that were slightly red and delicate in the light. The shadow behind him swayed, and the gray light shone a chill.
"Mr. Shen, what are you staring at me for?" Feng Liunian said with a smile.
Shen Shaobai retracted his wanton gaze and said, "It's nothing, I'm just cold, and the rain soaked my clothes."
"Then take off your clothes and I'll dry them for you." As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to Shen Shaobai. These hands were spotless white, and the reddish color made him look like a living person. Shen Shaobai leaned closer to the fire with his naked body, shivering and making a hissing sound. "Come closer to me," Feng Liunian said.
Shen Shaobai moved closer, Feng Liunian hugged Shen Shaobai into his arms and said, "It's warm here, don't move."
Chen Shaobai stuck close to Feng Liunian, staring at him. His eyelashes were long like spider silk under the moonlight, lonely and cold but shining. Gradually, his body warmed up, and a feeling of sleepiness came over him, and he fell asleep unknowingly.
"Brother Shaobai, long time no see. How have you been these past twelve years?" Feng Liunian said to the sleeping Shen Shaobai, with ripples on his lips.
There is no boat that docks for no reason at the ferry crossing of life. After thousands of ships have passed by, you still failed to make the journey. You can only sigh and say, "Life has many forks in the road, so cherish each other."
Pei Linyan and Gu Yanzhou sat opposite each other in the tent, both of them absent-minded. "Why, where did Shaobai go? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Gu Yanzhou asked.
"Young Master and Mr. Feng said they were going on horseback." Shen Er replied
"Then why didn't you go with us?" Pei Linyan asked
"Mr. Feng said it was going to rain and asked me to get an umbrella. When I came back, they were gone." Shen Erdao
Pei Linyan and Gu Yanzhou exchanged a glance, each one suspicious. Gu Yanzhou dodged and turned back to the door, only to see the sky darken and soon begin to rain heavily.
"It seems that Shaobai and Mr. Feng will not be able to come back for a while. Yanzhou, come to eat. I brought you your favorite stewed chicken." Pei Linyan said
Gu Yanzhou was stunned when he heard this. He thought, "He still remembers that I like to eat stewed chicken, but it's cold and bitter at the border, and food is scarce. Where did he find it?" He then said, "It's amazing that you still remember."
"How could I forget? I think of you day and night, and want to see you all the time." Pei Linyan said
"Lin Yan, I..." Gu Yanzhou said
"You don't need to say more. No matter how you treat me, I will protect you and love you. I will never abandon you in this life." Pei Linyan said
Before the two of them could chat for a while, Pei San came in and said, "Young Master, many soldiers in the army are suffering from severe abdominal pain. General Fu wants you and Special Envoy Gu to discuss countermeasures."
Outside the tent, many soldiers were seen curled up on the ground, clutching their stomachs and writhing in pain. A chorus of wailing rang out. Entering the tent, General Fu frowned, holding his forehead and sighing, "If all the soldiers were to fall at this moment, the enemy would be powerless to resist. The defeat would be devastating, and our land would be crushed to pieces by the Xiongnu's iron hooves. Special Envoy Gu, what can you do?"
"General Fu, don't worry. I'm familiar with Senior Medical Immortal Liu Nanxing. I'll write a letter and ask her to come and help." Gu Yanzhou said
"You mean the Holy Hand Bodhisattva Medical Immortal Liu Nanxing? Back then, she saved the people of Qingzhou alone on a horse. If she were here, she would surely be able to bring people back to life and cure all diseases with her medicine." Fu Guangdao
"There is no problem with grandma's medical skills. Our top priority now is to find the source of the disease and understand where it came from so as to prevent future problems." Gu Yanzhou said
"Yes, as the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth. Let's start by investigating the soldiers' diet. Pei San, take the brothers and ask what those with abdominal pain ate." Pei Linyan said
"Yes," Pei Sandao walked out
"I see the food is all made in the military camp. Why do some people have stomachaches while others are fine after eating it?" Gu Yanzhou said
"It may be due to different constitutions. We all come from different places, so it's normal for those with weak constitutions to have abdominal pain." Pei Linyan said
"Then why am I fine even though I have a very poor physique?" Gu Yanzhou said
"That's because I prepared your diet separately. You eat differently from us." Pei Linyan said
"You are so good, Pei boy. You have always been eating and living with the soldiers. Why are you so partial to Special Envoy Gu and can go against the principles?" General Fu said
"He is different from others." Pei Linyan said
"Well, you've made great progress, boy. I saw that the special envoy also has two eyes and you have only one nose, just like us, what's the difference?" General Fu asked in confusion. His argument failed when Pei San returned and said, "Reporting to General Fu and General Pei, we asked the soldiers with abdominal pain and they all said they only ate the food in the dining hall and did not eat anything else outside."
"That's strange. What's the reason?" General Fu thought.
After a while, they heard that "Medical Immortal Liu Nanxing has arrived." A silver-haired old man came over, with a kind face and a Buddha's light. "Grandma, you came so quickly. I just sent the letter." Gu Yanzhou said in surprise.
"Little Yanzhou has grown taller and more handsome. I traveled here last year to look for a herbal remedy. This morning I heard that something happened in the military camp, so I came to help." The Medical Immortal said
"So that's how it is. Grandma, take a quick look at why the soldiers are like this." Gu Yanzhou said
After examining the patient, the Medical Immortal said, "It's probably corpse poison. Simply put, the food was contaminated by a corpse and then eaten. The poison caused the abdominal pain, but it's not a serious problem. I'll prescribe a medicine. Everyone should take it three times a day and you should be cured in two days."
"Mother-in-law, why are some people fine while others have stomachaches?" Pei Linyan asked
"Those who have abdominal pain are all poisoned by corpses. Those who don't have abdominal pain are not poisoned by corpses. You still need to let me check your diet." The Medical Immortal said
Arriving in the kitchen, he saw food scattered on the sticky board. After checking, he found that none of the food was contaminated. The Medical Immortal thought for a moment and ran to the cook and asked, "The food is all the same today."
The cook thought for a while and said, "Yes, the food is all the same, water. Oh, for the last pot of food, I remember the water was just drawn from the well, and the rest were water from a few days ago." When the new water was drawn from the well and tested, it was found to contain corpse poison.
Gu Yanzhou asked, "Was it intentional or was there something else going on?"
"Then where does the water in this well come from?" Pei Linyan asked
"The water in this well flows from the Yangjiaba River and converges here. The Yangjiaba River originates from Hongya Mountain, and this Hongya Mountain..." said the cook.
"What's wrong with Hongya Mountain?" Gu Yanzhou asked
"Local people call Hongya Mountain the Mountain of Crying Children. This is because in recent years, a large number of children have disappeared every year, and the government has no way to investigate. However, when people pass by Hongya Mountain at night, they hear the sound of children crying. A large number of people are sent to investigate, but nothing is found. Over time, everyone privately calls Hongya Mountain the Mountain of Crying Children." said the cook.
"Then after hearing what you said, I must find out the truth." Gu Yanzhou said
