He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

Looking at the small Taoist temple, which was mostly collapsed, Leyou cautiously glanced at his master beside him, who was constantly sighing.

I stepped forward, intending to comfort my master, but unexpectedly, I only heard one sentence...

Give me a pack of cigarettes.

Leyou quickly pulled out an unopened pack of cigarettes and handed it to his master, who waved his hand with his back to Leyou.

He took out three sticks, lit them with matches, and stuck them into a small incense burner. After bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, he sat down to the side and began to meditate.

Leyou said "Amitabha" to the stone statue and then walked towards the clump of grass in front of him.

First bow

The left hand wraps around the right hand in a fist, with the left thumb inside the right fist.

Raise it to the tip of your nose.

Stand with your feet turned outwards (pigeon-toed), and bow.

Place your left hand on your heart, and press your right hand in a circle onto the clump of grass.

Kneel down on both knees, place your left hand on top of your right hand, forming a "cross".

Sit down with your buttocks lowered, and tap your head three times on the back of your hand.

Then he stood up, stepped back, and bowed.

He repeated the action twice more, then waved to the three women, signaling them to leave.

……

The crowd gathered in the courtyard began to inspect the entire Taoist temple, discovering that apart from half of the main hall, only one room and the kitchen were still usable.

So Leyou looked at Nianmin, who was still sleeping, and asked Jingxian to put him next to their master, and then they went to clean together.

Seeing the spider webs everywhere, Leyou and his companion didn't say much. They started washing themselves by drawing water from the well with wooden buckets.

With their combined efforts, the room was quickly cleaned. Leyou let Jingxian help Mulan and Huangying inside to rest, while she began cleaning the kitchen.

Exhausted and covered in sweat, Leyou sat at the kitchen doorway, lit a cigarette, and puffed out clouds of smoke.

"The two Mulan sisters are in a very dangerous situation, running around in this environment where there are enemies everywhere. It would be better for them to rest here for a few days before making any decisions."

Having made up his mind, Leyou first rode his motorcycle into the Taoist temple.

The machine gun in the truck bed was pointed outwards, and a submachine gun was taken out from the storage compartment and hung on the throttle.

Then he took the earthenware jar from the cart, took out seven or eight handfuls of rice from his pocket and put them in, then went to the well inside the temple to fetch water to wash the rice.

Upon returning to the kitchen, seeing Jingxian already lighting the stove and wiping it, she quickly stopped her:

"You go and take care of Mulan and her sister; I'll handle things here."

……

At Leyou's strong suggestion, Jingxian went out of the kitchen to take care of Mulan and the others.

Leyou took out a piece of pork he had bought earlier from his spatial storage and used his samurai sword to continuously cut off the lean meat.

Then cut the rice into pieces and put them into the iron pot, then pour in well water and rice, and cover the pot with the lid.

He then took out some pastries, placed them aside, and lit a cigarette.

Watching the steaming stove through the smoke, I slowly waited for the porridge to cook.

It's great to have space; I can always put a little extra in when I buy things, which is convenient when I'm out and about.

Seeing that there were still ten bags of grain left, Leyou felt a sense of relief. He hadn't given them all to the dozen or so women before, otherwise they would have starved to death.

However, due to excessive blood loss and the long battle, Leyou, once calmed down, suddenly felt dizzy and began to see phantom images of the stove in front of him.

Hypoglycemia?

Or are you just too hungry to move?

So Leyou hurriedly grabbed the pastries on the table with both hands and stuffed them into his mouth.

"cough"

"cough"

Leyou kept patting her chest, tears streaming down her face, gasping for breath.

But it was dry and hard, stuck in my throat, making it hard to breathe.

In its anxiety, it opened its mouth wide and kept trying to pick at the air with its fingers, drool dripping from its mouth.

He quickly grabbed the bucket from the side, scooped up water with a ladle, and drank it continuously.

But he drank too quickly and vomited it all up, then started coughing violently.

It's not uncommon for people to choke to death while eating, so sometimes it's best not to eat too quickly, especially for children. Be mindful of foods like candy, gummies, and longan.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Hearing Leyou's violent coughing, Jingxian rushed in in a panic.

Seeing Leyou's condition, they rushed over and patted his back repeatedly.

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

"master"

"Master, please come quickly!"

When Jingxian noticed that Leyou's face was turning increasingly purple and he couldn't speak, with veins bulging on his neck and face, she was so frightened that she quickly called out loudly for her master.

A blue figure rushed in quickly, glanced at Leyou's condition, and...

They simply flipped him over, resting the end of his sternum on the top rail of the chair, and pushed him repeatedly.

But it was no use. The master quickly squatted down in a horse stance, pulled Leyou over, lifted his legs, placed them around his waist and locked them in place at his pelvis, and then used the bottom of his right hand to push and strike the center of his spine repeatedly.

"click"

"click"

"click"

Jingxian splashed a ladle of water on his face.

Master pulled Leyou up again.

Jingxian also splashed a ladle of water on his face.

Seeing that Leyou was making some noise, the master turned him face the ceiling, raised his waist, and repeatedly struck the round spot in the middle of his sternum with his palm.

One, two, three...

Leyou's body swayed continuously with the force of his master's palm strike.

It doesn't seem to be working.

The master then embraced Qileyou from behind with both arms.

Make a fist with your left hand, knuckles facing inward, and place it below the end of your sternum. Grasp your left hand with your right hand and repeatedly slam it backward and upward, creating an impact that propels you backward and upward.

One, two, three...

"cough cough"

Leyou suddenly coughed and spat out a large piece of pastry, which was also stained with blood.

"Master"

"Jingxian"

Leyou looked at the two people in front of her and weakly called out before fainting.

"Master, how is it?"

"It's alright, I'll carry him to his room to rest. He's been tired these past few days."

Clean the mess out of his mouth, wipe the wound, and reapply the medicine powder; otherwise, the wound might get infected.

"Then take the meat porridge to Mulan and the others so they can eat and rest early."

"Yes, sir."

Jingxian breathed a sigh of relief and watched her master carry Leyou out.

He then opened the wooden lid and vigorously stirred the meat porridge with a spatula.

……

Upon seeing the master carrying Leyou into the house, Mulan and Huangying hurriedly put the sleeping Nianmin aside.

He quickly stepped forward, helped Leyou up, and gently laid her down on the bed, anxiously looking at his master.

"master,

"What's wrong, sir?"

The master was taken aback by the question, muttered "You brat!" under his breath, and pulled a white porcelain bottle from his robes, saying:

"It's nothing, I just choked on something."

Jingxian will come over soon to clean the wound and change the dressing.

After you've eaten the porridge, go to bed early.

If it's cold, take out the clothes from the car to cover yourself with. I don't know where that brat hid the new red quilt and some other odds and ends.

"Yes, sir."

……

Mulan Flower and Huang Ying, seeing Leyou's pale face, called out softly with concern:

"Senior Brother"

"Senior Brother"

However, Leyou did not react, and the two women slowly reached under their nostrils to feel her breathing.

He breathed a sigh of relief after further investigation.

…………

Suddenly, a creaking sound came from the doorway.

The sound of the door opening startled the two women, who quickly looked up.

Jingxian walked in carrying three bowls of porridge.

The two women quickly stepped forward and placed the porridge on the table.

……

"Hmm? Did you clean the prince? I can't see any dirt."

What is that?

"Oh, that's the vomit that the prince just threw up."

"Ugh~"

……

Jingxian sent the two girls outside to have dinner with their master.

He then began to draw well water to clean Leyou's wounds and reapply medicine.

They changed the direction of the bandage and tied it back on.

After finishing his work, he watched Leyou while drinking his meat porridge.

Just then, Master came in with Mulan and Huang Ying, carrying the machine gun from the vehicle into the room. Pointing the gun at the door, he said:

"You all get some rest. I'll keep watch tonight. We'll discuss everything tomorrow."

"Sir, please be careful!"

"Don't worry, I'm not too old to fire a gun."

After the master finished speaking, he closed the door.

……

After closing the door, the master hung the submachine gun from the car around his neck, took a dagger and put it in his pocket before walking out of the temple.

Meanwhile, Mulan Hua held the awakened Nianmin as they drank porridge, while Huang Ying sang a song beside them:

I come from the mountains

With orchid grass

Planted in the small garden, hoping it will bloom early.

I read it three times a day, and time flew by.

The orchid remained unchanged, without a single bud.

Autumn arrived in the blink of an eye, and the orchids were moved into the greenhouse.

I cherish you every morning, and never forget you every night.

......"
