Chapter 42 Cold Spring Bath
Two carriages were parked outside the mansion. He first glanced at the carriage behind and asked Jiang Hui, "Are they here?"
"Sir, the second lady has already boarded the carriage."
Rong Jianxue nodded: "Let's go."
"yes."
The carriage started moving.
Inside the carriage, Pei Jingxu looked at Hongyao beside him and lowered his voice: "Did you bring the things?"
Hongyao nodded: "They all brought girls."
Pei Jingxu nodded and whispered, "When the carriage arrives at the Randeng Temple, I have something to tell you."
…
The sun is very strong today, and even sitting in the carriage, it is as hot as a steamer.
Outside the carriage, Jiang Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Rong Jianxue in the carriage, "Master, is there a cold spring in the mountain behind the Burning Lamp Temple?"
Rong Jianxue was fine, not sweating much. When Jiang Hui asked this, he just said "hmm".
Jiang Hui smiled and said, "That's great! When I get to the Randeng Temple, I'll go to the back mountain to soak in the cold springs to cool off."
Rong Jianxue warned, "There are many ferocious beasts in the back mountains. Don't go there at night. Come back early."
"Yes, I know."
The carriage stopped outside the Randeng Temple.
Rong Jianxue got off the carriage first, and the two people in the carriage behind him slowly got off after a long time.
He turned around and saw Pei Jingxu being supported by Hongyao. His face was slightly pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked very weak.
"What's wrong?"
Rong Jianxue frowned and took a few steps forward to check.
Pei Jingxu was still conscious. When she heard Rong Jianxue's voice, she twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, sir, I just have a little heatstroke. I'll go back to the meditation room and rest for a while. I'll be fine."
Rong Jianxue's frown didn't relax. He said in a deeper voice, "Master Miaofan knows some medical skills. I can ask him to treat you."
"No need to go to such trouble," Pei Jingxu seemed even more apologetic, smiling stiffly, "I just felt a little dizzy from the heat, it's nothing serious."
After hearing this, Rong Jianxue finally relented: "Hongyao, help her back to the meditation room to rest first. If anything else happens, report to me."
"Yes, sir."
Hongyao carefully supported Pei Jingxu and walked towards the meditation room in the backyard of Randeng Temple.
After returning to the Zen room, Pei Jingxu took off her disguise and asked Hongyao to change her into cool and thin clothes.
"Girl, what should we do next?" Hongyao asked.
Pei Jingxu lay on the bed, letting Hongyao fan her to cool down. She asked in a soft voice, "Where's the wine I asked you to bring?"
"Here, girl."
Hongyao hurriedly took out a jar of wine from the bag beside her and handed it to Pei Jingxu.
Pei Jingxu had an average alcohol tolerance. She glanced at the wine jar, asked Hongyao to pour her a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
…
This time, Rong Jianxue's meditation room was not far from Pei Jingxu's.
Towards evening, Hongyao came back with a message saying that the girl was much better, had eaten some vegetarian food, and had gone to bed.
Rong Jianxue then gave up the idea of looking for Master Miaofan and sat in the meditation room to copy scriptures.
"Sir, why did you copy the scriptures so many times this time?"
Because Pei Jingxu suffered from heatstroke, Jiang Hui did not go to the back mountain and was busy outside the meditation room.
Seeing that the man was still copying the scriptures, he couldn't help but ask.
Rong Jianxue didn't answer, but handed the extra scriptures to Jiang Hui: "Go give her a copy. She has a heat stroke today, so she probably doesn't have time to copy these."
The last time I saw her at Randeng Temple, she copied a stack of scriptures and tied them to the Longevity Tree to pray for Xuanzhou.
Since she was not convenient this time, he copied one for her.
Oh, it turns out it was prepared for the second lady.
Jiang Hui nodded: "Yes, I'll send it right away."
Night falls.
Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes slightly and sat in front of the desk, concentrating quietly.
The bell in the temple rang three times, and it was time for the monks who were chanting to rest.
At this time, he would go to the main hall to burn another stick of incense.
But before he could get up, Jiang Hui suddenly rushed into his meditation room, his face anxious and panicked: "Master! This is bad! The Second Lady... The Second Lady——"
"What happened to her?"
Rong Jianxue's face darkened and he stood up instantly.
"Hongyao told her subordinates that Second Lady heard from the monks in the temple that there is a cold spring in the back mountain, and she just went there alone!"
There are towering ancient trees and ferocious beasts gathering on the mountain behind Randeng Temple.
Even Jiang Hui would not stay in the back mountain for long at night!
When Rong Jianxue heard this, he was stunned at first, then he put on some clothes, walked out of the meditation room, and walked quickly towards the back mountain!
To be precise, although Randeng Temple is on the top of a mountain, it is a relatively flat area among these mountains.
Looking further back, you can see the endless mountain ranges. On the highest mountain, there is snow that never melts all year round. The rain washes out a waterway, and the snow flows down the waterway to the foot of the mountain and turns into cold springs.
Rong Jianxue came to the back mountain, passed through the towering jungle, and quickly came to the cold spring.
Stopped.
The moonlight is like water.
It seemed as if there was a bright moon in the cold spring. The moonlight was bright, and it was also bright.
There were ripples, and the cold moon in the spring water was cut into pieces of brocade.
Rong Jianxue heard the sound of water.
Someone scooped up a handful of spring water and splashed it on his body, his black hair spread out and his figure became vague.
Just one glance and Rong Jianxue suddenly turned his back!
Rong Jianxue seemed to have just realized what he was doing!
Close your eyes.
Rong Jianxue fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her palm, her eyes slightly gloomy.
——He planned to wait far away.
This will also ensure her safety.
If she came out later, he could also say that she was just passing by to relax.
In the cold spring.
Pei Jingxu scooped up a handful of moonlit spring water and let it flow through his fingers.
She glanced behind her, a cunning look in her eyes.
The next second, her face changed, and she grabbed the shore fiercely, her voice panicking: "Ah——"
The delicate body caused ripples and splashes. The woman's face turned pale and she began to struggle in the water!
The moonlight was broken, and Pei Jingxu was like drowning, sinking deeper and deeper!
In the blink of an eye, a figure with the scent of agarwood passed by and grabbed her slender wrist!
Finally, he stopped struggling. Pei Jingxu turned around in panic and saw the man covering his eyes with a veil and pursing his thin lips.
"Sir...sir..."
Two tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes - she was actually wearing an eye veil?
In such a critical moment, isn't this a bit too gentlemanly?
Rong Jianxue naturally had no idea what Pei Jingxu was thinking. His face was sullen, his brows furrowed. "What's wrong?"
Pei Jingxu's body was stiff, and he spoke in a very aggrieved voice: "I soaked in the water for too long, my feet... my feet are cramping..."
She clearly saw that the man's expression had become even colder and colder, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Can you get out?"
Pei Jingxu shook her head, then remembered that the man couldn't see. She sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "I can't move. It hurts..."
As she wished, she heard a heavy sigh from the man above her head.
From Pei Jingxu's angle, he could see the man's well-defined jaw, his thin lips were tightly drawn, and his expression was cold and solemn.
He still held her wrist.
Her wrist was so thin that it seemed as if he could break it with just a little force.
Rong Jianxue pursed his lips slightly and said "Excuse me" in a hoarse voice. The next second, he exerted a little force with his hands and pulled Pei Jingxu out of the spring.
“Crash—”
The sound of water was heard, and because she had lost her vision, Rong Jianxue's other senses became sharper.
He heard her cry out, and because she had no support, she swayed and fell into his arms!
