Chapter 265 Entering the Tiger's Den



Chapter 265 Entering the Tiger School

evening.

The summer breeze is blowing gently.

The cool breeze blew away the summer heat.

Jiang Miaomiao and her elder brother sat side by side, staring at the gate of Shuiyue Temple.

Waiting for A Niang and Mrs. Sun to come out of that big door.

However, half an hour passed and A Niang still didn't come out.

An hour passed and he still didn't come out.

Jiujiu flew in for a while and hasn't come out yet.

It is impossible to say that you are not anxious, nervous or worried.

The eldest brother walked over, paced at the door, and looked inside.

The second brother sat under the tree calmly, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan in one hand and a book in the other, shaking his head.

Jiang Miaomiao took a closer look.

This book...

I got it wrong again.

It seems that my second brother is also very nervous.

In the quiet room of Shuiyue An.

Master Shuiyue sat in front of the desk and asked Pan Yun a few questions.

Where are you from, your name, your husband's surname, how old are you...

After asking these questions, he began to concentrate on taking her pulse.

Lu Qingyao quietly looked at Master Shuiyue from the side.

I have never seen anyone ask so many detailed questions before seeing a doctor.

This nun looks to be in her thirties, but her complexion is still that of a young girl, and her delicate hands appear to have been well-maintained.

But think about it, if you go to diagnose those ladies with your rough hands, you will most likely be looked down upon.

Before coming here, I asked the pilgrims and found out that Master Shuiyue is indeed good at treating women's illnesses.

It is not a false reputation.

Most of the people who came to see her were women from wealthy families.

It’s not that poor people can’t come. There were some who came at the beginning. Master Shuiyue didn’t charge for consultation, only for medicinal materials.

There were also peasant women from nearby villages who came to her for medical consultation and she prescribed medicines. Most of the prescriptions contained either angelica and safflower, or bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin.

I can't afford medicine at all.

So, it’s useless to treat this disease.

And the most important medicine among them is actually the spiritual spring water from Shuiyue Temple, and the prescribed medicines have to be decocted with the spiritual spring water.

The charge is not cheap, two hundred coins per pot.

It would take the common people three or four days' work to save enough money to buy a pot of water.

A dose of medicine would cost at least several taels of silver, not to mention the precious herbs that had to be added.

It's ridiculous to hear it.

How could ordinary people afford to treat such a disease?

Lu Qingyao saw her taking the pulse seriously and smelled the scent of mugwort in the temple, and it seemed to be true.

The appearance of a kind-hearted and compassionate doctor.

Nun Shuiyue raised her eyes and said to Pan Yun in a gentle voice, "Madam Sun, there's nothing wrong with your body. You're just a little deficient in Qi and blood. I'll prescribe some medicine and boil it with Lingquan water, and it will be relieved."

Pan Yun nodded slightly and looked at Lu Qingyao.

This is consistent with her previous diagnosis, and the prescription is nothing more than some angelica and donkey-hide gelatin.

The prescriptions were pretty much the same as when I used to see a doctor in the capital.

After she stood up, Lu Qingyao immediately sat down, stretched out her arm and said, "Please help me too, Master."

Nun Shuiyue frowned slightly, nodded in agreement, and asked a bunch of questions again.

Of course Lu Qingyao would not tell the truth.

When you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.

After taking her pulse, Nun Shuiyue's expression became serious. She said, "Madam, you probably didn't take good care of yourself after giving birth. You've been overly worried and caught a cold. I'm afraid you'll never get pregnant again."

Lu Qingyao nodded slightly.

I didn't expect that she could really diagnose something, and her diagnosis was exactly the same as that of the doctors in the capital.

I wonder if I'm overthinking it and this guy is just greedy for money.

But when I think about it, I still feel something is not right.

As soon as she entered the nunnery, the nuns' pupils dilated when they saw her, and even the younger ones looked a little frightened.

She was absolutely certain that this was her first time here and her first time meeting these people.

There was only one possibility that could have caused the nuns to react in that way: they had seen her and recognized her.

After hearing what Master Shuiyue said, Pan Yun was slightly surprised and asked, "Can it be cured?"

She thought about Miaomiao's age and calculated that Lu Qingyao gave birth during the time when the Lu family had an accident.

No wonder I didn’t have a good confinement period.

It's quite pitiful, and it's not easy to get to where we are now.

Lu Qingyao didn't think it was a big deal. She already had three children and didn't want or need to have any more.

Then I heard Master Shuiyue say, "Yes, it can be cured. But you need to stay in Shuiyue Temple for more than a month to recuperate. I will need to give you acupuncture every day."

Lu Qingyao grasped her hand and said with a smile, "That's great. We won't leave today and will stay here. My niece-in-law also happened to be at your Shuiyue Temple. Could you take us to meet her, nun?"

Nun Shuiyue was startled by her sudden grab.

She quickly regained her composure and said with a faint smile, "Of course, I will take you two there."

As he said that, he stood up and walked ahead.

Pan Yun immediately felt something was wrong. She squeezed Lu Qingyao's hand and whispered, "Aunt, she didn't even ask who she was looking for?"

Lu Qingyao patted her hand gently and comforted her: "It's right that you didn't ask. Don't be afraid, just follow me."

Shuiyue Temple in the evening.

The century-old temple is solemn and majestic.

A sudden gust of wind blew the wind chimes under the eaves, making the sound clear and pleasant.

But it makes people feel a little uneasy.

Pan Yun couldn't help but hold Lu Qingyao's arm tightly and moved closer to her.

After walking for a while with Master Shuiyue, we arrived at the backyard of Shuiyue Temple, and then walked a little further inside.

Came to a small courtyard full of bamboo.

"arrive……"

Nun Shuiyue suddenly stopped, changed direction and went towards another door.

Just as Lu Qingyao was about to follow, she was blocked by a sharp blade. The man in black said, "Prepare to die. No one will be able to save you today."

Before she could finish her words, many men in black suddenly jumped out from all directions and surrounded them.

Since the killers saw them coming to Qingquan Town, they set up an ambush here in advance.

He also asked the nun to find a way to lure the people in and then defeat them one by one.

In the past they always went straight ahead, but seeing those pioneers, none of them came back and died tragically.

The troops in front were almost wiped out.

I can only say that this woman is very lucky.

So they dare not take it lightly at all.

At this moment, a slender woman appeared on the roof and threw a red tasseled spear towards Lu Qingyao, "Sister, take it."

Lu Qingyao caught the gun, protected Pan Yun behind her, and smiled at the man in black, "You finally showed up. We waited so long."

Man in Black: ...

The sun sets and night is approaching.

Jiang Ziyan saw the little red bird flying back in a hurry, as if it was frightened.

I chirped at my sister, and her face changed instantly.

Jiang Ziyan knew it was time, and said to Jiang Zifeng, "Brother, tell Captain Sun that we can rush in and rescue them now."

"Really?" Jiang Zifeng couldn't wait any longer.

He had wanted to rush in several times before, but was pulled back by his younger brother every time.

It seems that A Niang has been ambushed.

But how did my brother know?

Without thinking much, he informed Captain Sun, then he picked up his sword, kicked the door open, and prepared to rush in.

However, it was a lonely kick.

A little nun opened the door.
