Chapter 862 Must Apologize
Lao Cai walked into the cave and saw Xi Yu lying straight on the ground. He felt angry and thought he was pretending, so he kicked him and cursed: "Stop pretending to be dead!"
But Xiyu showed no reaction. Lao Cai was trembling in his heart. He squatted down and touched his forehead. It was hot and secretly shouted: "It's bad, he's sick."
He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Wenshuang, come here quickly!"
At this time, Cai Wenshuang was not far outside the cave. He heard his father's anxious cry and ran into the cave.
Upon entering the cave and seeing Xi Yu unconscious, Cai Wenshuang looked tense and quickly knelt down to check his pulse.
The comatose Xi Yu was still struggling in his nightmare, and Xiao Hong's blurred face appeared in the mist. He was anxious, his body was hot, and he felt tight, and he longed to wake up soon.
Lao Cai stood aside, frowning even deeper as he watched his daughter Cai Wenshuang busy doing things.
Cai Wenshuang first carefully felt Xi Yu's pulse, then gently opened his eyelids to check, already making a judgment in his mind.
She quickly took out a few herbs from the cloth bag she carried with her. These herbs were all collected with painstaking efforts in the mountains and carefully dried and preserved.
Cai Wen quickly washed the herbs with both hands and feet, found a few stones, and simply built a temporary "stove". He took some dry firewood from the corner of the cave and lit it.
The flames suddenly jumped up, reflecting her focused face.
Lao Cai couldn't help but mutter: "Girl, you have to be careful, this person's identity is unknown..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cai Wenshuang.
"Dad, it's more important to save people, I can't care about that right now."
After a while, the water in the medicine jar began to boil, and the fragrance of the herbs filled the cave.
Cai Wenshuang stirred the medicine with a branch from time to time, his eyes never leaving the medicine jar.
Although Lao Cai was full of worries and kept pacing in the cave, he stopped talking. He only looked at Xi Yu from time to time, hoping that he would wake up soon.
After the medicine was cooked, Cai Wenshuang carefully filtered out the medicine soup and brought it to Xi Yu's mouth.
But Xiyu's teeth were shut tightly and he couldn't feed him at all.
Cai Wenshuang frowned, turned around and rummaged in the bag again, took out a slender bamboo tube, gently pried open Xi Yu's mouth, inserted one end of the bamboo tube, and slowly poured the medicinal liquid along the bamboo tube. Drink it down.
When Lao Cai saw this, he couldn't help but secretly admire his daughter's wit.
On Kunlun Mountain, the sun shines in every corner of the Taoist temple, giving it a simple and peaceful atmosphere.
Luo Xiaoyu was carrying water, and the bucket swayed with his steps. He gritted his teeth and walked very hard step by step, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Guang Lingzi hurried over, forced an attentive smile on his face, walked up to Luo Xiaoyu and said, "Luo Xiaoyu, please stop working today."
Luo Xiaoyu raised his eyes, his eyes full of displeasure, looked at him fiercely and replied: "We can't eat and drink for free here, how can we do it if we don't work?"
Guang Lingzi knew in his heart that Luo Xiaoyu was mocking him, but he still said with a smile: "It's better not to do it and say a few words to me."
Luo Xiaoyu frowned, feeling very bored, but she couldn't just throw away her face and leave. She just said angrily: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I don't have time to waste time here with you."
Guang Lingzi scratched his head and was about to speak, but seemed to hesitate a little. He opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a while.
Luo Xiaoyu just stood there, carrying water, staring at Guang Lingzi coldly, waiting for him to quickly explain what he said.
Guang Lingzi put on an attentive smile, came closer and said: "Luo Xiaoyu, the two masters are about to leave the quarantine. You must not mention it to the masters before asking you and Xiaohong to work more." , otherwise we Taoist priests will all be punished.”
When Luo Xiaoyu heard this, her eyes were full of ridicule and she sneered: "You ask us to work more on weekdays, and you still want to cover my mouth? Why don't I say more? We have long been waiting for the master to come out of seclusion and file a complaint!"
When Guang Lingzi heard this, the smile on his face froze, and he complained secretly in his heart. He hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "Xiaoyu, this is all a misunderstanding. We just want to train you, there is no other meaning."
Luo Xiaoyu dropped the bucket heavily, causing a splash of water. She straightened her back and glared at Guang Lingzi.
"Exercise? I think it's bullying! It's not like I don't work here in Kunlun Mountain. Why do all the dirty and tiring work have to be done on me? Xiaohong is weak and has suffered a lot."
Beads of sweat appeared on Guang Lingzi's forehead. He knew that the work Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong usually did was far better than others. Now that the master was out of seclusion, he would definitely suffer no good consequences if he was really accused.
He rolled his eyes and put on a bitter face again: "Xiaoyu, please spare me this time. I will help you in the future. I will think of you no matter what the benefits are, okay?"
Luo Xiaoyu crossed her arms with a look of disdain.
"Humph, I believe you are the only one who is evil, unless you take over the dirty work now and do it yourself!"
Xiaohong hurried over with tiny steps, her eyes filled with concern, and asked softly: "Brother Xiaoyu, what happened?"
Seeing this, Guang Lingzi immediately put on a smile, nodded and bowed and said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, the two masters are about to leave seclusion. You have always been kind-hearted. When the time comes, I beg you to speak kindly in front of the master." In other words, don’t sue us Taoist priests for bullying you, this is all a misunderstanding!”
Luo Xiaoyu took a step forward, stood sideways in front of Xiaohong, frowned, her eyes were full of disgust, and shouted to Guanglingzi: "Xiaohong, ignore him! We have suffered so many grievances in daily life, I must file a complaint. This isn’t training at all, it’s just treating us like coolies and leaving all the dirty work to us. I’d like to see what the masters say.”
Xiaohong looked hesitant, biting her lower lip, her hands tugging at the corner of her clothes anxiously.
She looked at Luo Xiaoyu's determined expression, then looked at Guanglingzi's pleading look, and said softly: "Brother Xiaoyu, if we file a complaint, will our lives be even worse in the future..."
Luo Xiaoyu raised his head slightly, looking firmly at the retreat in the distance, where the stone door trembled slightly, a faint light appeared, and the two masters Qingfeng and Mingyue were about to appear. He said in a deep voice: "Xiaohong, don't be afraid, we have the right to go all over the world, and we can't always swallow our anger."
Guanglingzi's face turned pale and red, and he secretly complained in his heart. He knew that once Luo Xiaoyu succeeded in filing a complaint, he and those lazy Taoists would have to bear the consequences, but now he had no way to deal with these two stubborn people, and could only hope to persuade them to change their ways.
Luo Xiaoyu still glared at Guanglingzi fiercely, his tone full of resentment.
Guanglingzi was ashamed, lowered his head and dared not look directly at Luo Xiaoyu, just kept apologizing.
"Xiaoyu, I am sorry for you, I did not fulfill my responsibility as a senior brother, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
Xiaohong gently pulled Luo Xiaoyu's sleeve, with a trace of worry and persuasion in her eyes.
"Brother Xiaoyu, forget it, since the senior brother said so, and if you really complain, you will see each other all the time in the future, I am afraid it will not be good."
Luo Xiaoyu frowned slightly, looked at Xiaohong, and then looked at Guanglingzi, the anger in his heart subsided a little, but he was still a little unwilling.
"Xiaohong, you are too kind, they have made us suffer a lot in the past."
Guanglingzi hurriedly nodded and bowed to answer.
"Yes, yes, it's all our fault, I will definitely change in the future, and I promise that this kind of thing will not happen again."
Luo Xiaoyu snorted coldly.
"I hope you will keep your promise. If I find you bullying people again, I will not give up easily."
Guanglingzi hurriedly responded: "Of course, I swear on my heart."
Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the situation had temporarily calmed down. She said to Luo Xiaoyu: "Brother Xiaoyu, let's not think about it for now. Let's go back."
Luo Xiaoyu looked at Xiaohong, then at Guanglingzi, and finally sighed and said: "Forget it, since Xiaohong begged for mercy, I will not pursue this matter anymore."
Guanglingzi was as if he had been pardoned. His face was instantly filled with a grateful smile, and he hurriedly bowed.
"Thank you, brother Xiaoyu, for your magnanimity. Thank you, thank you!"
Luo Xiaoyu raised his head slightly, his expression stern, and then spoke.
"But don't think it's so easy to turn the page. All the Taoist priests who participated in bullying us must come here and apologize to us in person."
Guanglingzi's smile froze, and he looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay, brother Xiaoyu, that's no problem. You wait here for a moment. I'll go get them all here. It'll be quick." After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, his steps a little flustered.
Xiaohong looked at Guanglingzi's back, with a worried look on her face, and whispered to Luo Xiaoyu: "Brother Xiaoyu, will this offend too many people?"
Luo Xiaoyu patted Xiaohong's shoulder with a firm look in his eyes.
"Xiaohong, we can't keep feeling aggrieved. This time we must let them know that we are not easy to bully."
Guanglingzi hurriedly shuttled around the Taoist temple, and finally gathered all the Taoists.
Everyone gathered together and heard that they were going to apologize to Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, and they immediately exploded.
A tall and thin Taoist curled his lips, looking unconvinced.
"They are just guests from outside. They do some work here, just as if they were paying for food and accommodation. Why do they want us to apologize?"
As soon as these words came out, many people echoed them.
Seeing this, Guanglingzi's face darkened and he shouted loudly.
"You are so confused! Now that the two masters are about to come out of retreat, if they really want to sue us, who will be the one to bear the consequences?"
When the Taoists heard this, they looked at each other. Although they were unwilling, they dared not say anything more.
Helplessly, the group walked towards Luo Xiaoyu's room slowly.
At this time, Xiaohong was sitting obediently by the bed, while Luo Xiaoyu stood in front of the window with his hands folded across his chest, looking out the window with a stern expression.
Hearing the footsteps, Luo Xiaoyu turned around and swept his eyes over the Taoists.
The Taoist priests looked at each other, and finally the one who led the way cleared his throat, stepped forward, and said reluctantly: "That... Luo Xiaoyu, Xiaohong, we were wrong before, and we are sorry for offending you. Please forgive us."
Please...Collect_6_9_Book_Bar (Six//Nine//Book//Bar)
The others also responded sparsely, with uneven voices and insincere attitudes.
Xiaohong lowered her head slightly, gently pulled Luo Xiaoyu's sleeve, and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyu, forget it..."
Luo Xiaoyu snorted coldly, his eyes were still cold, and he was obviously not satisfied with this perfunctory apology.
After a while, Luo Xiaoyu raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of ridicule and anger, and he took a step forward and faced the Taoist priests.
"Hmph, you are sensible to come and apologize now, but why didn't you think about the consequences when you bullied us like that before? You can hide for a while, but can you hide forever?"
He paused, his eyes were like torches, and he swept over the crowd, "You threw all the dirty work to us, do you really think we won't complain?"
The Taoists blushed, and some wanted to defend themselves, but they were suppressed by Luo Xiaoyu's momentum and couldn't speak.
Luo Xiaoyu became more and more angry as she spoke, and her voice became louder.
"Why, you don't have the guts to kill us, so you will just do evil behind our backs? Let me tell you, for the sake of Xiaohong's plea, I will let you go for the time being. If there is another time, I will let the two masters take care of themselves. Good review!”
Xiaohong couldn't bear it, she took Luo Xiaoyu's arm and shook it gently.
"Brother Xiaoyu, don't be angry, they know they were wrong."
Luo Xiaoyu took a deep breath to calm down a little.
A burly Taoist priest with a sinister face suddenly stood up, with veins popping out on his neck, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "We have all apologized humbly, what else do you want? You must be polite and unforgiving. Stirring your nose and face?"
Luo Xiaoyu's face turned red with anger, her eyes widened, and she slapped the table with a loud "snap", making the teacup on the table tremble.
"So what if I don't accept it? I have remembered your evil deeds in the past one by one. Today's perfunctory apology is just a dream! I want to complain to the two masters. See if you still How long can you be arrogant?"
The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense and was about to get out of control.
Guang Lingzi was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He stepped in front of the hot-tempered Taoist priest, raised his hand and slapped him in the face, shouting angrily: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense here and causing big trouble. Can you afford it?"
He turned around and bowed to Luo Xiaoyu again and again.
"Brother Xiaoyu, please calm down. He is ignorant. You must not be as knowledgeable as him. Let's have a good talk if we have anything to say."
Luo Xiaoyu's chest rose and fell violently. She gritted her teeth and glared hard at the Taoist priest who caused the trouble. She suppressed her anger and did not show up again.
For a moment, there was a stalemate in the room. No one dared to say another word. There was only the sound of heavy breathing. The storm was getting worse and worse on Kunlun Mountain, and I didn't know how to end it.
Guang Lingzi was so anxious that he stamped his feet, winked at the fiery Taoist priest, lowered his voice and shouted: "Why are you still standing there, apologize to Brother Xiaoyu quickly!"
The Taoist priest suppressed his blush and was filled with reluctance. He raised his eyes and saw Guang Lingzi glaring at him angrily. He was also afraid of the majesty of the master. He curled his lips and said in a low voice: "I...I just said something unreasonable. Don't take it to heart." ”
Luo Xiaoyu snorted coldly, her face softened slightly, and she waved her hand.
"Okay, now that I'm angry, I'll let it go this time. From now on you can take care of yourself, and I won't talk too much in front of the two Taoist priests Qingfeng Mingyue."
After everyone heard this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, and then dispersed one after another.
After everyone left, Luo Xiaoyu looked at Xiaohong and said sincerely: "Xiaohong, I acted like this not only to vent our anger, but also to give the Prime Minister an explanation. I hope that after this incident, they can change their ways in the future. Temperament, don’t bully others wantonly.”
Xiaohong nodded obediently, her eyes full of trust.
"Brother Xiaoyu, I understand, you are doing everything right."
At this moment, the mountain wind howling outside the window seemed to be telling the story of the cessation of the storm.
And Luo Xiaoyu looked into the distance, silently thinking about what would happen next. On Kunlun Mountain, life will continue, and she only hopes that it will go smoothly in the future.
The faint morning light casts a faint golden light on the eaves of the Taoist Temple in Kunlun Mountain.
The stone door that had been closed for many days slowly swayed, and the two Taoist priests Qingfeng and Mingyue were about to come out.
For a moment, all the disciples put down their affairs, tidied up their clothes, and hurried towards the retreat.
At the front of the crowd, Guang Lingzi's eyes were slightly uneasy. From time to time, he raised his hands to smooth the wrinkles of his clothes. He prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that the previous entanglements with Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong would not cause trouble at this time.
Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong were also among the crowd. Luo Xiaoyu was tall and straight, with a cold look on his face, his eyes tightly locked on the stone door that was about to open, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Xiaohong tugged on Luo Xiaoyu's sleeve tightly, her big eyes full of curiosity and expectation, and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyu, they will definitely gain a lot from this retreat."
Luo Xiaoyu nodded slightly without saying a word.
The stone door slowly opened, and the two Taoist priests Qingfeng and Mingyue came out side by side.
Taoist Master Qingfeng was dressed in white clothes and held a whisk in his hand. His face was clear and his eyes were calm and deep, as if he could understand everything in the world.
Taoist Priest Mingyue was dressed in a moon-white robe, with a gentle temperament and a faint smile on his lips. He exuded a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
After seeing the ceremony, all the disciples shouted in unison: "Welcome Master to come out of seclusion!" The shouts echoed in the valley and continued for a long time.
Taoist Master Qingfeng raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to abstain from courtesy, his voice was like a loud bell.
"I have gained some experience during this retreat, and I will teach you later."
Taoist priest Mingyue nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and said softly: "Long time no see, how are you everyone?"
Among the crowd, Guang Lingzi was the first to speak.
"Replying to Master, everything is fine with us. I just hope that Master will come out of seclusion and answer our questions." As he said that, he glanced at Luo Xiaoyu secretly, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Luo Xiaoyu's expression remained unchanged, but she was thinking in her heart whether she should truthfully tell the two masters about the previous bullying.
At this moment, a gust of mountain wind blew by.
Qingfeng and Mingyue walked into the inner room, turned around and softly called Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to follow them. The two looked at each other and quickly followed in.
After the door was closed, the disciples outside gathered in several groups, whispering to each other.
"Do you think Luo Xiaoyu can really swallow this and not complain to the master?" A young disciple asked quietly.
Guang Lingzi frowned slightly and replied in a low voice: "Normally he agreed, but he probably won't. If he does sue us, we can only live with it. After all, the fault is ours."
Inside the house, Qingfeng and Mingyue sat down on the futon one by one, motioning Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to sit down as well.
Taoist Qingfeng looked gentle and asked softly, "Did anything happen in the Taoist temple during these days of retreat?"
Luo Xiaoyu's heart tightened, and she subconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, raised her eyes and looked at Xiaohong, who shook her head gently.
Luo Xiaoyu took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Everything is fine. Xiaohong and I are taken care of by the senior brothers, and nothing serious has happened." (End of this chapter)
