Chapter 114 Recovery
It hurts so much!? The next day, Huang Quan gently opened his eyes and immediately felt a severe pain in his wrists and ankles. He subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the restraint of his wrists and ankles made her open their eyes in an instant. Not only was his movements restricted, but his mouth was blocked.
Moving her body, she saw the corners of her eyes with tears and she had not woken up. Her condition was similar to her own. Her wrists and ankles were bound, and her handcuffs were stained with mottled blood.
Speaking of which, what did I do before?
After she woke up, in addition to feeling her head was dizzy and rising, her thoughts also became clear. The memories of the past few days have not disappeared. It just made her feel confused when recalling it. It seemed that she had changed her own self, which made her feel deeply strange, including Kagura.
"Are you awake?" Zheng Chen, who had closed his eyes, slowly opened his eyes, and the abbot sitting opposite him had left the Zen room at some point.
"Um..." Huang Quan, who was blocked, hushed hard. Zheng Chen pulled off the cloth stuffed in their mouths and took off the handcuffs that bound them.
"That...I." Lei looked at Zheng Chen with guilt and immediately lowered her head. She thought of her actions these days, so she felt ashamed to hide away. She actually had that kind of thought. This was a betrayal of Zheng Chen.
"It's all right."
Shaking her head, Zheng Chen reached out and pressed Shu Lei's head, and looked at Xi Ya. She asked her to care more about Huang Quan and the others last night than she was worried about the situation of Huang Quan. She was the most terrifying when she was rampant. Now she should be fine, right?
"Sister Huang Quan, we are so embarrassing." Toumu Kagura, who was held in Huang Quan's arms, whispered. Her words made Huang Quan blush. It was indeed quite embarrassing. She was obviously a devil retreater, but she was compared by an ordinary person. On the way, she had to rely on the other party to safely return to normal.
"You must investigate the identity of that woman when you go back this time." Huang Quan whispered. Perhaps Fu Jiang's combat ability is not strong, but her ability is the strangest example of the enemies she has ever encountered. She suddenly fell into the trap and almost became crazy in the end.
Afterwards, several monks came to the meditation room with a little bit of breakfast, and when they left, they left a box of ointment.
After digging a piece of ointment in the medicine box, Zheng Chen placed the medicine box in front of Huang Quan, came to Lei himself, pulled up one of her arms, and last night's manic struggle made her wrist break through, making the girl's flawless skin look particularly dazzling.
"It hurts." When the ointment was applied to the wound, Lei couldn't help but squeeze her eyes, and then quickly said, "It's okay, I can hold it back."
Zheng Chen nodded, and the force was slightly lighter when applying the medicine. After treating the injuries on her wrist and ankle, Zheng Chen looked at Huang Quan. Compared to Lei's injuries, the injuries on her wrist and ankle were even more serious.
The greater the struggle, the greater the harm it caused to herself. After Zheng Chen treated Lei's injuries, she and the little girl Toumu Kagura had just applied half of the medicine to each other.
"..." Seeing Zheng Chen standing up and walking out, Huang Quan pulled the corner of his mouth. Seeing the predicament here, he left without saying anything?
As soon as Zheng Chen left the Zen room, he was stopped by a monk, "This donor, abbot, asked me to convey some words, you can stay here for a while these days."
"If possible, please don't let those female donors walk around." After pausing for a moment, the monk said in particular, "This is what I mean."
Zheng Chen nodded. In this place where all monks are, it seems that it is not a sign of letting Huang Quan and the others walk around.
"Does the donor have any other needs?" Zheng Chen was so easy to speak, which made the monk feel a little good for him. After all, when they came here, the evil thoughts were like dirty things, and no one wanted to introduce these things to their homes. Now that the evil thoughts were cleared, their impressions would naturally change.
"bandage."
With the brand new bandage found by the monk, Zheng Chen returned to the meditation room and handed a bandage to Huangquan. The rest of the wrists and ankles that had been applied with medicine were bandaged. The location of this meditation room was relatively remote. Apart from the monks who occasionally passed here, there was not much disturbance. The only thing that could spend time was some scriptures that the monk at the door had taken.
"I have read a lot of scriptures before." Huang Quan picked up a scripture that was placed next to him and read it, "I have read this before."
"Oh." Zheng Chen stared at the scripture in his hand and replied faintly.
"..." So I was talking too much just now, and I couldn't help but pull the corners of my mouth. She thought with a lot of thought that Zheng Chen couldn't understand the scriptures, and he could read them silently over and over again, quietly waiting for time to pass. When he was focused, time passed quickly.
When it was night, Abbot Hengkong came to this Zen room again, "We are meeting again by donor."
The abbot explained the reason for his arrival again. It was very simple. The evil thoughts entangled in Zheng Chen and others were not completely eradicated. Those evil thoughts were very different from ordinary evil thoughts. When ordinary evil thoughts were dispelled, they were dispelled. However, these evil thoughts were stronger than the weeds that grew again after the spring breeze. If they were not completely eradicated, the spring breeze would still grow again after not long.
Of course, even if it is eradicated, you will still be entangled with this evil thought again in the future.
Therefore, Abbot Hengkong said that this was just a symptom treatment. The chanting of scriptures was not long this time. In less than two hours, the abbot got up and left. Before leaving, he did not say that because there were several girls here, he arranged another room for Zheng Chen.
There are many reasons why Xiya is not an ordinary person, so it is impossible for Xiya to discover her abnormality.
"...What's wrong?" Zheng Chen asked when Huang Quan noticed that his expression was a little abnormal.
"That...the problem of taking a bath..." She seemed a little embarrassed. Several days have passed since she was possessed and returned to normal. In addition, the blood stains on her body were stained by injuries. Now that she is fine, she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"So do you guys?"
Zheng Chen looked at Lei, who gently turned his head.
"Wait."
Because it was already evening, even if the monks did not have all rest or had no extra activities, they would need to solve everything they needed at this time.
For example, fetching water.
There was no fire in the same Zen room, so Zheng Chen returned to the Zen room. The wooden barrel was a new work, and there were woods nearby. After pouring out the firewood from the wooden barrel, Zheng Chen carried two small wooden barrels back and fetched water.
"Uh, I won't be outside, right?" In short, after seeing the things Zheng Chen prepared outside, Huang Quan hesitated to pull Tugong Shenle.
"There is no fire in the Zen room." Zheng Chen said. It is simply a provocation to the place where the monks here do not come to drive people away. Even if they have a high level of cultivation, "no one is nearby."
"This is not a question of whether there are people or not...but, forget it." Huang Quan was full of entanglement. After hesitating for a while, he nodded, "...just that's it."
“…”
Then she looked at the separate tent that Zheng Chen made that was just covering the big wooden barrel, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This was better than showing up. "I thought it was very detailed."
However, when she saw Zheng Chen making fire, she couldn't help but jump gently.
“Are there any problems?”
“…It’s gone.”
"You guys do it yourself." Zheng Chen walked to the back of the tent and added firewood to the already lit fire. The wooden barrel he made was not small, Huang Quan and Lei were both slender in size, and Toumu Kagura was a little girl. The three of them were more than enough to squeeze in.
Ignoring the sound of taking off clothes not far away, Zheng Chen stared at the fire in front of him calmly with a face of calmness, then raised his left hand, pulled a little Fenghuang Talisman wrapped around him and stared at the red aura that was tied to the extreme. This red aura seemed to have grown a little.
What is the reason?
“The water is a little hot.”
"Oh." Hearing the sound in the tent, Zheng Chen responded faintly, wrapped Fenghuang Talisman back, took out some lit firewood from the fire, and poked it to the ground to extinguish it.
"That, Sister Huangquan, is it really okay?" In the bathtub, Kagura Tomiya grabbed the edge of the barrel with both hands and looked out of the tent. The figure who could see because of the firelight could not help but ask.
"...It probably doesn't matter." Isaiyama Huangquan stroked her long wet hair. Compared to the two of them, Lei's reaction was particularly calm. Her eyes stayed on the core stone with a warm and radiant luster on her head for a moment... In short, she was really calm.
"We don't seem to have prepared spare clothes." Lei's realization stopped at the clothes they threw on the ground at will, and said in a very calm tone.
Huang Quan was silent. He ignored this because he was too nervous before. When Zheng Chen brought them here, he was in a hurry and did not prepare any other daily necessities at all. "Why do you make do with it first?"
Although it is hard to come by here to take a shower at once, it is useless.
"But we seem to be here for many days."
“…”
do the laundry?
By the river, Zheng Chen frowned slightly at the blood-stained clothes piled in the wooden basin. After sorting them out, he cleaned the stains on them. He didn't like to do such things. It was not easy to find water in the wasteland. Washing clothes is quite extravagant. Of course, there is no need to worry about this in this world, but it also made him face a new problem.
Because there is no soap, the completely dry blood on the clothes is difficult to thoroughly clean. If you rub it hard, a slight tear sounded.
He looked at the skirt that had already appeared in his hand calmly, and Zheng Chen put it aside and continued the next one. (To be continued.)
