Hua Xiyu woke up in a daze, his whole body aching, as if he had been run over by a large loader. It hurt whenever he moved and he was in excruciating pain.

She struggled to stand up and found herself in a courtyard. There was no one around. She wanted to drink water but couldn't reach the cup.

She checked her body and found that she had two broken ribs, no wonder it hurt whenever she moved. There was a large area of ​​bruises on her waist, a large blue patch, and severe soreness. There was a tearing pain in her lower body, which was a bit strange, but bearable. Her ankle tendons were strained, no wonder she couldn't use her feet. Years of training and medical practice enabled her to instinctively judge her own injuries.

In this situation, most people would have to stay in bed for several months, but she has a good physique, so a month of bed rest should be enough.

She endured the pain and wanted to get up from the bed to find some water to drink. At this moment, the door was pushed open and a woman in her 40s wearing a monk's robe walked towards her, "Girl, you're awake."

"Well, why am I here? Where is this?" Hua Xiyu's mind was blank, without any information. She didn't know who she was, where she came from, or where she was going.

"Oh, this is Shuiyue Temple. We found the girl fainted in front of our temple door and rescued her."

"Oh" and then, she didn't know what to say. Why did she faint in front of the nunnery and had no memory at all.

"I am the abbess of Shuiyue Temple, my Buddhist name is Shuixin. Everyone calls me Master Shuixin, so you can call me that too, young lady."

"Thank you, Master. My injury will take several months to heal. Can you find someone to help me?"

"Of course, this Sister Liu Jing will be responsible for taking care of your food and daily life."

"Young lady, my common name is Chunliu. You can just call me by my common name." Sister Liu Jing poured her a glass of water and handed it to her skillfully. "From now on, just give me instructions about these tasks."

Hua Xiyu stayed in Shuiyue Temple to recuperate. Moreover, there were no doctors or medicines here. Only an old man came once a month. With his half-baked medical skills, he prescribed some anti-inflammatory and healing medicines for her. As a result, the injury that could have recovered in a month took more than three months. The recovery of the injury was entirely due to her good physical condition.

The people of Shuiyue Temple eat vegetarian food, and eggs are the only food that supplements protein. There is a large vegetable garden in the backyard of the temple, as well as more than 500 chickens and dozens of sheep. The chickens are used to lay eggs, and the sheep are naturally used to produce milk. Otherwise, the human body will not be able to withstand eating only vegetarian food without protein.

Hua Xiyu has been eating scrambled eggs for a month, and now the smell of eggs smells like chicken shit.

So as soon as her foot got better, she climbed over the wall and stole a chicken. Fearing that Chunliu would find her, she roasted and ate it on the mountain before returning.

"I smell roast chicken." Chunliu smiled cunningly when he saw her climbing over the wall.

"Hehe" Hua Xiyu smiled awkwardly, took out the two chicken legs from his back and handed them to Chunliu.

Chun Liu was not polite at all. She didn't become a nun voluntarily. She hadn't smelled meat for five years. Now that she smelled it, how could she not want to eat it?

From then on, Hua Xiyu would steal a chicken to eat every now and then. Anyway, they lived far away from the nunnery and no one else could smell it.

She hadn't had her period for three months, but she didn't notice. She was only sixteen years old and her periods were irregular. Chunliu, who was taking care of her, didn't notice either.

The person who should have rested well did not do so, and his injuries recurred. It took three months before his injuries were healed.

To be on the safe side, she stayed in Shuiyue Temple for more than two months. After eating all the eggs and chicken into chicken shit, she recovered to her former heyday under Chunliu's careful care.

She packed up and prepared to leave. Since she had forgotten who she was, she decided to go to Huicheng to find the answer.

However, at this moment, she realized that she was actually pregnant, and the fetus was more than five months old. This was like a thunder rolling over her head, "Pregnant? Pregnant? How could I be pregnant? How could a woman get pregnant by herself?"

The ancients said: Saints have no father, they are born with the help of heaven.

"Am I going to give birth to a saint?" she thought in disbelief.

She had no memory of whether she had ever had a boyfriend or a one-night stand. Where did this child come from? Did it grow out of nowhere in her belly?

Chun Liu was also frightened, and ran to find Master Shui Xin like a gust of wind, "Master, the girl is pregnant, should we ask the man to take responsibility?"

"Amitabha, what a sin!" Master Shui Xin bowed her head and cut off the candle wick with a pair of scissors.

"That man is from Prince Xuan's Palace in Beijing. We may not even be able to enter the palace. How can we find him?" Master Shui Xin was also worried and walked towards the meditation room where Hua Xiyu lived.

"Then just abort it. It will be troublesome to give birth to the baby." Chun Liu followed the nun closely, feeling really sad for the girl.

I don’t know where I came from, I don’t remember anything, and now I’ve been raped and I’m pregnant.

Hua Xiyu was in the room thinking about how to get rid of the baby. How could she get pregnant? And it was so inexplicable.

Seeing Master Shui Xin coming, he hurriedly came forward and said, "Master, please get me an abortion pill. I can't keep this child."

She lost her memory, but she was not stupid. She knew what she should and should not want.

Master Shui Xin looked at her bulging belly. She had thought she had gained weight. She was tall and didn't look bloated at all. But she turned out to be pregnant, and she discovered it herself.

"Girl, you are too pregnant now and abortion is too dangerous. If you are not careful, two lives may be lost. The most reliable way is to give birth to the baby."

Hua Xiyu knew very well that after a child has been in the womb for three months, it would not be possible to abort normally and that induced labor was necessary, not to mention that it was already more than five months.

"What should we do? Should we give birth to the baby? A child without a father would be a bastard." She looked at Master Shui Xin, and then at Chun Liu who was beside the master. They were also very worried. They never expected things to turn out like this.

But Master Shui Xin had to consider other more important things at this time, and she must not let anyone know that the woman in Shuiyue Temple was pregnant.

Shuiyue Temple was originally established to rescue homeless women. Now a woman in Shuiyue Temple is pregnant. How will the world see it? What will happen to Shuiyue Temple's century-old reputation?

"There is no better way now. It is safer to give birth to the baby," Master Shui Xin comforted her. She thought to herself, if she forced an abortion, what would happen if there were two bodies? When her family came, it would be fine if her family was ordinary, but if it was rich, what would Shuiyue Temple do? She had no ability to compete with rich people.

"Give birth to a child without a father? Besides, I'm still so young, how can I be trapped here to give birth to a child? My life hasn't even begun, and I don't want to be an idle mother at such a young age."

Hua Xiyu was unwilling to accept it. Although she didn't know how old she was, she was not young at all. She looked no more than 20 years old. It was weird that she was giving birth to a child in this mountain valley at the age of less than 20, and the child was a wild child with an unknown father.

She saw the end of her gloomy life at a glance. It was too damn painful to drag a baby with her and run around every day to make a living.

She decided to abort the baby, but Shuiyue Temple was deep in Xiaojing Mountain, surrounded by forests and mountains. There were no houses nearby. It would take two or three days to see a doctor. Moreover, she was already in her advanced stage of pregnancy. Which doctor would dare to prescribe abortion pills for her? The doctor could not afford the risk of losing two lives.

Two sturdy nuns were guarding outside the door. "You must guard the door. No one is allowed to go in or out except Chunliu, and you are not allowed to go in."

Buddhism is compassionate and only seeks to save lives rather than kill them. In order to preserve Hua Xiyu's reputation and the reputation of Shuiyue Temple, and more importantly for Hua Xiyu's safety, Master Shui Xin placed her under house arrest.
