The breeze and the bright moon looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Taoist Master Mingyue smiled and said, "That's good. You two are guests from afar. If you have any difficulties, you must inform me."
Luo Xiaoyu responded, but thought to herself that she would let them go today, and hope that these people can really correct their mistakes in the future.
Xiaohong quietly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly cast a grateful look at Luo Xiaoyu.
Taoist Master Mingyue's eyes were soft but with a sharp eye for insight. He looked at Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong and asked softly: "Do those disciples bully you two on weekdays?"
Luo Xiaoyu's body stiffened, then immediately raised her smile and hurriedly replied: "No, they are all very good to us."
Xiaohong, who was beside her, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, but the slightly trembling little hand revealed the tension in her heart.
Taoist Master Qingfeng frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something, but he didn't speak.
But Taoist Master Mingyue smiled softly, as if there was endless deep meaning hidden in his smile. He slowly said, "I believe there will be something. Don't worry about it. If you really have any grievances, just say it to us."
Luo Xiaoyu immediately lowered her head and bit her lip. She didn't know how to respond for a while, so she stopped saying a word.
Seeing this, Xiaohong quietly pulled Luo Xiaoyu's sleeve and looked at him with his timid eyes, as if silently advising him not to say more.
The room fell into a brief silence, with only the occasional howling sound of mountain winds outside the window, as if urging Luo Xiaoyu to make a choice. This scene made the atmosphere more subtle.
Then, the two Taoist priests, Qingfeng and Mingyue, looked at each other.
Qingfeng's tone was filled with a hint of concern.
"Have the Prime Minister not returned yet?"
Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong both shook their heads when they heard this.
Qingfeng frowned slightly, stroked his beard, and sighed softly: "I hope everything goes well for the Prime Minister."
After saying that, the two Taoist priests asked Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to go back to their room to rest.
As soon as the two left, Qingfeng whispered a few words to the disciple beside him. In a moment, Guanglingzi hurried over.
After entering the door, he saluted respectfully to the two commanders, but he was secretly nervous and could not guess what was called out this time.
Mingyue glanced at him, looked calm and asked softly: "I have been watching everything recently. Let's be honest. Xiaoyu and Xiaohong are here, can they still adapt?"
Guanglingzi suddenly grabbed his heart, hesitated for a moment, and replied with a thorn in his mouth: "Report to Master, they are generally adapting, but..." When he said something, he swallowed it again, and fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.
Qingfeng looked at him like a torch and said, "It's just what? Don't hide it."
Guanglingzi knelt down with a "thump" and kowtowed: "The disciple is guilty. He had previously asked Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to do more work because of lack of staff in the temple. After mediation, he has apologized to them."
When the two Taoist priests heard this, they were silent for a moment. Qingfeng shook his head slightly: "Do not be so biased when doing things in the future. Don't let outsiders underestimate my Kunlun Taoist Temple."
Guanglingzi repeatedly said yes and retreated while wiping his cold sweat.
At this moment, the mountain wind outside the window was still the same, but it seemed that it had changed quietly in the view, just waiting for the subsequent storm to gather again.
Guanglingzi returned to the room with a grievance and threw it to the door with a "bang", which scared several Taoist priests to death.
He sat on the stool and said with a dark face: "I have been in trouble for eight lifetimes today, and I was scolded by two masters."
The Taoist priests looked at each other and asked impatiently: "What's going on, Senior Brother?"
Guanglingzi gritted his teeth and said, "It's not Luo Xiaoyu. He agreed on it on the surface, but he even filed a lawsuit behind his back, which made us lose such a big person in front of our master!"
"What? This kid is so inauthentic!"
"That's right, we'll go and apologize to him." The Taoists were immediately in anger, and they started to criticize each other, and the room was full of resentment.
An older Taoist priest frowned and shook his head and sighed, "It's great now. Master has a prejudice in his heart. I'm afraid our life will be difficult in the future."
Guanglingzi waved his hand irritably.
"Okay, okay, stop yelling, think about what to do first."
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they had no idea for a moment.
At this moment, the night outside the window was dark, as if it was shrouded in the haze inside. On Kunlun Mountain, a new undercurrent was quietly surging, but when will it cause waves again in the dark and wet cave, time seemed to have become particularly slow, and one day and one night passed quietly. On the other side, Xi Yu was lying quietly on the ground, frowning sometimes, as if fighting against the discomfort in his body.
Finally, after a slight cough, Xi Yu slowly opened his eyes. At first, his eyes were a little confused and confused. After a while, he gradually became focal.
He felt soft all over, unable to use any strength, and his head was dizzy, as if it was stuffed with cotton.
Xi Yu rolled his eyes hard and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar cave environment around him. The vague memories slowly returned. He remembered that he suddenly fell ill before, and he was completely confused about what happened afterwards.
He opened his mouth and wanted to make a sound, but only made a hoarse and faint voice: "Shui..."
Old Cai, who was dozing aside, woke up with a tremor when he heard the movement. Seeing that Xi Yu woke up, he felt happy at first, then immediately changed into a slightly serious expression, leaned forward, and said unhappily: "Oh, you guy is awake, but it has caused us tossing."
As he said that, he hurriedly picked up the broken bowl with water on the side and carefully fed Xi Yu a few sips.
Xi Yu drank water and felt his throat feel a little more comfortable. He gasped gently and asked weakly: "I... how long have I been sleeping?"
Lao Cai snorted: "It's been a whole day and a night. If you don't wake up, I'd think you can't survive."
Xi Yu frowned slightly, knowing that this time he was sick was really dangerous, but at this moment, he was more concerned about when his body would recover. After all, there were still many things waiting for him to do in the cave. Candlelight swayed and light and shadow swayed on the walls of the cave.
Xi Yu leaned against the stone wall. When he heard Lao Cai's words, he sneered a corner of his mouth, and his smile was full of self-mockery and sarcasm: "When I die, aren't you happy? You can't be careful all day long."
When Lao Cai heard this, his face turned red instantly, his eyes widened, and he jumped up and shouted: "How come you are not rude! We have worked hard to save you, but we have complained."
Cai Wenshuang hurriedly stood up, grabbed the impulsive father with one hand, gently put on Xi Yu's pulse with the other hand, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Don't say that, although we have doubts about your identity, life and death are important matters, and the doctor is kind, how can you stand by and watch?" Her voice was soft but firm, and her eyes were straight into Xi Yu's eyes with a frank look.
In the cave, bonfires were crackling, and a warm breath filled the surroundings.
Old Cai slapped his pipe and glanced at Xi Yu who was drinking porridge to recuperate. He suddenly cleared his throat and said, "Boy, I think you are so clever. Why don't you stay and be my son-in-law!"
As soon as she said this, Cai Wenshuang, who was holding herbs and preparing to change the medicine for Xi Yu, shook his hands suddenly, and her cheeks turned red in an instant. She stomped her feet and said angrily: "Dad, what are you talking about?" The voice was filled with the shyness of a girl, and her eyes were looking around in a panic, but she didn't dare to look at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu was focusing on the porridge bowl in his hand. When he heard this, his hand suddenly stopped. The spoon fell into the bowl with a "bang" and he was stunned on the spot. Obviously, he didn't expect Lao Cai to come like this.
For a moment, his mind was blank, and he felt a heat flow from his ears to his forehead.
Lao Cai seemed to have not seen the embarrassment of the two, and laughed at himself, continuing to click on his tobacco pipe, with a bit of cunning in his eyes: "I tell you, my Wenshuang is a good girl who is hard to find even with lanterns. If you marry in, you will definitely not suffer any loss."
Cai Wenshuang was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it. She covered her face and turned around and ran to a corner of the cave.
Xi Yu came to his senses only then. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he felt his throat was dry and he couldn't say anything.
After a while, Xi Yu put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, slowly got up, and looked into Lao Cai's eyes, with a cold tone and a bit stubborn.
"Brother Cai, you think my identity is suspicious, and you can send me to the office to relieve your doubts, but what happened to me as a son-in-law for some reason?"
Lao Cai was stunned by these words, and knocked on the tobacco pot, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
"Hmph, don't be ungrateful, you boy, I'm looking at you and giving you a clear path."
Cai Wenshuang also turned around with a red face and said anxiously: "Dad, don't cause trouble. They are still sick. Why do you say this?"
She was both shy and a little complaining about her father's abruptness. She secretly glanced at Xi Yu. Seeing his cold face, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.
Old Cai was furious, the blue veins on his forehead swelled up, and his eyes seemed to be about to spit out fire. He asked Xi Yu loudly: "What's wrong with my Wenshuang? Tell me clearly!" The sound made the air around him seem to have solidified.
Cai Wenshuang's tears rolled in her eyes, her face was pale, her expression was flustered and a little ashamed.
She came over and grabbed her father's clothes tightly, and said in a crying voice: "Dad, please stop talking."
After saying that, she tried her best to pull her father out desperately, her steps staggering, and her hair became messy in panic.
Cai Wenshuang let go of his father, raised his hand to wipe his tears, and complained in a crying voice.
"Dad, what are you doing? How embarrassing in front of others."
Old Cai was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at Cai Wenshuang. He shouted at the top of his throat: "You silly girl, you are still thinking about the out of reach Prime Minister! You don't look at yourself. We are just an ordinary mountain family. What is the status of the prime minister? If you want to marry him, then it's not a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and you're just a delusional idea!"
Cai Wenshuang bit his lower lip tightly, tears rolling in his eyes, and he stubbornly raised his head.
"Dad, I can tell the truth. But you can't just make random matches. The forced melon is not sweet. I don't have that thought of this person at all."
Xi Yu sat beside the bed, with a slightly sarcastic curve on the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself: "This old man is really ridiculous. He actually wanted me to marry his daughter, but he didn't think too much about it."
Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, with a hint of fatigue and self-deprecation in his eyes.
An hour later, Cai Wenshuang gently pushed the door in, his face was exhausted, and his eyes were still red and swollen as he had cried.
She walked up to Xi Yu and whispered: "I just got my father drunk, so you can leave quickly when the time comes."
Xi Yu was slightly stunned, then asked with a wry smile.
"Girl, aren't you afraid that I'm such a thief? Let me go so easily?"
Cai Wenshuang turned his head away, avoiding his gaze, with a little helplessness and eagerness.
"If you keep you again, my father will force me to marry you again. I really don't want to go. You can go quickly, but the herbs in the mountains are precious. Don't make any decisions. Besides, it's cold and cold. Go out to find a warm place to stay."
The candlelight shook, reflecting the tense faces of the two.
Xi Yu frowned, his eyes were stubborn, and he spoke resolutely.
“I have to find herbs, it’s about the big deal.”
When Cai Wenshuang heard this, his cheeks flushed instantly, his eyes were full of anger, and his chest was fluttering violently.
"How come you are so stubborn! My father is all about matching us, and it's so embarrassing. I finally persuaded him to take the risk of letting you go, but you don't appreciate it. It's so dangerous in the snow and mountains. If you go out to find herbs, you may not even be able to save your life!"
"Miss, I have recorded your kindness, but I have a reason for this herb to be found, so I can't walk. Even if the road ahead is difficult, I can't take care of it."
"Okay, since you are determined to do your own thing, I won't care. Please be blessed!"
On Kunlun Mountain, the cold wind blew, making the doors and windows rustling.
Guanglingzi quickly walked to Luo Xiaoyu's door, raised his hand and knocked on the door hard. The sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet mountains.
Luo Xiaoyu opened the door sleepily, saw Guanglingzi's angry look, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? He got so angry."
Guang Lingzi suddenly stepped into the room, widened his eyes, and almost poked Luo Xiaoyu's nose with his fingers.
"You guest is just a despicable villain! You clearly agreed not to tell your master, why did you still say it? Now, Master scolded me hard. Do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?"
"I really didn't say anything! Did you make a mistake?"
"Make a mistake? Can there be any mistakes? Do you know that this incident caused me to lose all my face in front of my master. How can I practice in the future?" After saying that, my eyes were full of grievance and resentment, and I stared at Luo Xiaoyu fiercely, as if I wanted to see through him.
"I never did this. There must be a misunderstanding. Let's talk to the two Taoist priests to make it clear."
Guang Lingzi snorted coldly.
"Look for Master? You are speaking lightly. Master is angry at this moment. Wouldn't it be a big deal to add fuel to the fire when he leaves? You'd better find a way to remedy it quickly, otherwise, hum!" After ruthless words, Guang Lingzi brushed his sleeves and closed the door with a "bang".
Luo Xiaoyu's face turned red with anger and her chest fluttered violently. Without saying a word, she turned around and headed straight for Qingfeng's room.
Inside the house, Qingfeng was facing the compass, gently rubbing the patterns with his fingers, as if he was looking for some secret.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, he raised his eyes and saw that it was Luo Xiaoyu. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke gently.
"Donor, what's the matter in such a hurry?"
Luo Xiaoyu closed the door with a slam, stepped forward to Qingfeng a few steps, and said viciously: "We can't stay in Kunlun Mountain anymore, we will leave tomorrow! The Prime Minister comes and can't find anyone, so there is nothing I can do. I'll go back first."
Qingfeng frowned slightly, put down the compass, and stood up.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, why are you going to leave suddenly? But what happened?"
Luo Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said, "It's not Guanglingzi yet! As soon as he rushed into my room, he accused me of telling my master indiscriminately and causing him to be scolded. When did I, Luo Xiaoyu, have done such dirty things? He was so wronged that he could stay in this place?"
Qingfeng looked thoughtful and sighed softly.
"Don't be angry, I guess there is a misunderstanding..."
"Hmph, since he wronged me, I really want to inform me now. During the retreat of the two Taoist priests, he really didn't know what those Taoists did. Guanglingzi really didn't know at all. They bullied people a lot on weekdays and forced us to work more. I promised not to tell them. What happened? He was so angry that he was scolded and was on my head indiscriminately, and he insisted that I was talking about it."
Qingfeng looked worried and hurriedly advised: "Master Luo, don't be impulsive. Don't say anything angry. You can calm down first and go back to your room to rest. I'll deal with this matter. Don't worry, you will definitely give you justice."
Luo Xiaoyu said angrily: "Okay, then you go and talk. I want to see how he admits his mistakes. If he still makes things perfunctory, I will never give up!"
After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
On the other side, Xi Yu was packing up and was about to leave the cave. As soon as he walked to the entrance, Lao Cai appeared quickly like a ghost and stood firmly in front of the way.
Cai Wenshuang was shocked, widened her eyes, looked disbelief, and blurted out: "Dad, aren't you drunk?"
Old Cai sneered, his eyes with a shrewdness that was clear about everything, and he snorted: "Hmph, drunk? That's just pretending. Can you hide your little tricks from my father? I knew you would be soft-hearted and want to let this kid go secretly. I can't watch you lose the good marriage you got."
Cai Wen's face was flushed, shy and anxious.
"Dad, why are you doing this? I said that he and I have nothing to do with that. Why do you have to force me?"
Old Cai frowned and looked at Xi Yu, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Boy, my daughter is not worthy of you, so you are determined to leave? I'm leaving here. If you don't tell me clearly today, don't even think about taking a step out of this cave!"
Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked at Lao Cai with a helpless look on his face, and said with a humility: "Old man, you should understand that marriage cannot be forced. It is really inappropriate for you to insist on matching up like this. You are pretending to be drunk and blocking it, which is a bit interesting. I have my own business now, and I hope you can give it a tribute and send me away quickly. Otherwise, if my business is delayed, it would be bad."
