Destiny-changing Rain - C43
Madam Shen carried the medicine jar and walked towards Su Guangren’s room. When she pushed open the door, she saw Su Guangren squatting by the table, taking a horse stance. There was a sharp bamboo stick stuck into the side of his butt, and he was already sweating profusely.
Lady Shen walked over in a fluster and said, “Aiyo! Guangren, you haven’t even recovered from your injuries, yet you’re already practicing your cultivation. Quickly, sit down.” She put the jar on the table.
“Mistress, it’s fine.” “I’m almost fully recovered. This training can help me recover faster.” Su Guangren packed up his clothes and sat on a stool as he drank the medicine that Lady Shen poured for him.
“Drink slowly.” “Your junior brothers!” Lady Shen urged. “They can’t wait to rest, and your master even oversees their cultivation. The sun is extremely hot, and it’s as if they’ve all sweated and bathed.”
“How is Third Junior Brother’s injury?” Su Guangren finished the medicine and wiped his mouth.
“He’s already recovered. He’s still practicing in the sun.” Madam Shen packed up the medicine bowls and said, “Have a good rest. You can only practice after you’ve recovered from your injuries.” After saying that, he turned around and left, and when he reached the door, he turned back and said, “In the afternoon, I will go to the temple with your junior sister to burn incense, and your medicine will be sent over to you by your third junior.”
“Then I’ll go with you.” Su Guangren quickly replied. Su Guangren was the one who accompanied them when they went to burn incense in the temple, so when he heard Mistress say they were going to burn incense in the temple, he immediately answered.
“You stay at home and recuperate. I’ll call your second junior brother to accompany you.” With that, Madam Shen stepped out of the room.
Su Guang Ren walked to the bedside and lay down unwillingly. Previously, he would accompany his junior sister and accompany her to burn incense in the temple, but why did he get injured that he shouldn’t have done so? Su Guangren held his head and looked at the mosquito net on top of the bed with both hands, while his eyes remained unmoving as if he was in a trance. Perhaps at this moment his soul had already run to his Junior Sister’s side.
He thought of his naughty junior sister wanting him to teach her swordsmanship. He thought of his junior sister forcing him to go with her to catch birds on the mountain. He thought of the bird he caught on the mountain being kept in her cage until she died. These wonderful times always came to mind unexpectedly.
Madam Shen was carrying a bamboo basket as she walked in front, Shen Bi Ru was right behind her, and Zhu Lin was holding his sword as he followed behind. The three of them walked up two stone steps to the temple and nodded, saying that if they went up to the temple, they would be able to burn incense. Thus, he could see the people who were walking over to burn incense nod by the side of the stone steps. The Temple of Guan Yin was filled with incense all year round, and the people who came here to seek peace were endless.
Madam Shen, Shen Bi Ru, and Zhu Lin knelt before the statue of Kuan Yin and prayed. Madam Shen chanted her own prayer in her heart. Every time she came to the temple, she would pray in her own city. Shen Bi Ru closed her eyes and whispered out her prayer. “Bodhisattva bless Big Brother’s wounds and heal quickly.” The corners of her mouth curled into a smile.
After the incense was served, Madam Shen would bring Shen Bi Ru to stroll around the market to buy some things that she needed. Thus, the three of them began to wander aimlessly in the market.
