The doctor touched his beard and shook his head, with an expression which made others’ heart sink.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Xie Mengxuan could not help raising her voice. “You’re a doctor. Please make it clear.”

The doctor hissed. “Well, although this gentleman bled a lot, there’s no wound which could cause him death. There are mainly scratches on his body, some old and some recent. However, there’s congestion in his hindbrain. I could prescribe some drug, but it depends whether he’s able to come to life.”

Her stomach knotted at his words. Xie Mengxuan took two steps forward and said in a low voice. “It depends? There’s congestion in his hindbrain? What do you mean?”

The doctor was in a haze and then waved his hand as a hint. “Please calm down, young lady. The brain is of great importance to human beings. The gentleman was hit hard on the hindbrain so that there’s congestion. He either sinks into a heavy slumber, or suffers sequelae after waking up. You’d better find his family since it takes long rather than two days to look after him.”

Frowning, Xie Mengxuan didn’t utter a single word. Gu Yusheng nodded and chimed in. “Well, thank you, doctor. Please prescribe some medicine.”

The doctor nodded so that Gu Yusheng asked a young monk for help to guide the doctor to another place.

Standing behind Xie Mengxuan, Gu Yusheng said: “Xuan, since you’ve heard that, you’d better consider the following plan.”

She slightly inclined her head with her pretty eyebrows furrowed, but she said nothing.

Gu Yusheng let out a sigh and left towards where the doctor had gone with Uncle Luo.

Xie Mengxuan opened the door and sat on the bed.

With a pale face, although Geng Zhishan was cleaned up, there was still a smell of blood from him.

Through observation, she found that Geng Zhishan also had a good appearance. Xie Mengxuan sighed and gently touched his head that had been adequately bandaged. “How did you become so piteous? A disaster survived is a blessing in store. I believe that you’ll be safe. However, I have something to deal with so that you have to live here for a period of time. I’ll find you an attendant. I hope that you would have waked up when I come back.”

She took off the bracelet from her wrist and put it on his. “Now you’ve put on my bracelet. If you wake up earlier, you could find me in the Xie family.”

The bracelet was a kind of jewelry suitable for women. It’s a little bit large for her wrist. As a man, Geng Zhishan was large boned, whose wrist was not thin. The bracelet was just worn on his wrist without extra space.

Looking at this ridiculous scene, Xie Mengxuan could not help giving a chuckle, but soon her smile faded away. Sitting at the bedside, she was accompanying him for a long time. When the young monk sent the medicine, she fed Geng Zhishan for herself.

After all was done, she let out a sigh of relief.

At lunchtime, Xie Mengxuan finally came out of the room. Standing in the porch, Gu Yusheng already heard her words before turning his head.

“Big Brother Gu, you’d better prepare yourself for our departure tomorrow. I’ll go to make arrangements.”

“Okay.”

Standing with his back towards her, Gu Yusheng subtly raised his lips. He tried to hold back his smile and gave a response while nodding.

Upset, Xie Mengxuan went to look for the abbot who seemed to treat everything with indifference.

After hearing her footstep sounds, he opened his eyes. “Patron Xie, I’m aware of your attention. Rest assured. I’ll make elaborate arrangements for you.”

The abbot was so sensitive and caring that Xie Mengxuan wore a smile with her eyelids dropped. “Thank you for all the trouble you’ve taken. When it’s over, the Xie family is bound to donate a lot to the temple.”

The abbot showed a warm smile while Xie Mengxuan thought for a while. “People in the temple all have their own things to do. It’s inappropriate to trouble you. I’ll find a reliable male servant from the Xie family. Please give me a hand.”

“Okay.” The abbot agreed since she was out of good intention. In terms of meals, they were provided by the temple. However, when it came to decoct medicinal herbs, it was a knotty problem considering the complicated situation in the temple and the time it would take.

Now that the abbot had agreed to help her, Xie Mengxuan nodded. “Well, I have to leave now.”

She stood up and went back to the room of Geng Zhishan. The instant she entered in, she noticed that Gu Yusheng retreated his hand with a hideous grin which he failed to cover.

In a daze, Xie Mengxuan was astonished. “Big Brother Gu, what are you doing?”

Gu Yusheng paused and when he looked up, he returned to be gentle on the appearance. “Nothing happened. I just came to visit Brother Geng.” He said with innocence.

“I see.” Xie Mengxuan didn’t find any evidence so that she could not find faults with him based on an expression.

Gu Yusheng offered to ask. “Xuan, is everything settled down?”

She nodded. “Yes. I’ve also passed a message to the Xie family. It’s still early. Let’s set out.”

Gu Yusheng looked pleased. “Really?”

“I never make a joke.” said her.

“But Brother Geng…” It was his turn to be hesitant.

Xie Mengxuan sighed in deep feeling. “Even though he was impolite to you before, you turn out to show much care for him.”

A bit relieved, Gu Yusheng waved his hand. “That’s nothing. I’m worried about his safety, let alone he’s your benefactor.”

“Let’s go.” Having a look at Geng Zhishan, she lifted her sight and left with strides.

Following her, with his lips raised, Gu Yusheng turned his head to look at Geng Zhishan on the bed. If he fell into deep sleep indeed, Gu Yusheng would spare him; otherwise, Geng Zhishan would go to see the King of Hell once he dared to ruin his plan.

While walking, Gu Yusheng cleared his throat and advanced shoulder to shoulder with Xie Mengxuan. He also made different arrangements. Finally it depended on the Heaven.

The three people, Xie Mengxuan, Gu Yusheng and Uncle Luo, respectively rode a horse in a hurry. They marched along the government-financed road to the south.

In the temple they considered as a safe place, a man in black, not noticed by anyone, quietly sneaked into the room of Geng Zhishan.

With an intention to kill him, the man was holding a knife shinning with a cold light. In addition, there was a smell of blood from it. He sneered and hurried to wave the steel knife, but soon he paused.

On the bed, the eyelashes of Geng Zhishan slightly trembled. He slowly sat up. “They can’t wait any more…”

He kicked the black-clad man who fell onto the ground and then bled from one’s mouth, nostrils, eyes and ears to death.

Again, Geng Zhishan sank into a profound slumber, only with a thought that he should hurry his work as soon as possible, as his girl was going to the southern reaches of Yangtze River.
