The two played back and forth for a long time, but in the end, it was a draw.
Run Yu exclaimed, "I didn't think that Kuang Lu's chess skills would be so good at such a young age."
Kuang Lu held her chin with one hand and nodded, "I don't know why, but since I was young, I didn't like anything else but chess. Later, my father saw that I liked it, so he invited a master from the palace to teach me a thing or two. "
"From the palace?" Run Yu said lightly, "Is it Master Pu Han, who is proficient in the four arts?"
"That's right." Kuang Lu smiled cheerfully, "You know him as well? I heard that he was specially brought into the palace by the Emperor to teach the Crown Prince. "
The tea boiled, and light smoke billowed out of the pot.
Run Yu held the pot and poured the tea, then handed the small teacup to Kuang Lu.
Kuang Lu took it and lifted the corner of her veil to take a sip. Run Yu asked, "Why did Kuang Lu stay in the Cold Mountain Temple alone?"
Kuang Lu shook her head and said in confusion, "I don't know. After The Master Of Silence saw me, he said a lot of things. Finally, he told my mother that I have a tribulation in my life, and I want to stay in the temple to resolve the tribulation. "
"Resolve the tribulation?" Run Yu didn't understand.
"Ai, don't say that you don't understand, I'm also confused." Kuang Lu waved her hand and said, "What tribulation! He didn't say it clearly. When will my tribulation come? What kind of tribulation is it? If it comes when I'm about to die of old age, won't I have to live in the temple for the rest of my life? "
Run Yu was amused by her words, "Since it was The Master Of Silence who said it, he must have his reasons. You don't have to worry, he won't let you live in the Cold Mountain Temple for the rest of your life. Even if you are willing, the monks in the temple won't be able to bear it! "
"Are, are you making fun of me?" Kuang Lu looked at him in surprise. Seeing the unconcealable smile in his eyes, she couldn't help but say angrily, "Run Yu, Run Yu. You're not gentle like jade at all!"
"This one has disgraced this good name," Run Yu restrained himself a little, but there was still a smile in his eyes, "Run Yu has been rude. Kuang Lu, please do not be angry."
"Well, I'm not angry." Kuang Lu also smiled.
The two chatted as they played chess. Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, a young monk hurried over and whispered a few words in Run Yu's ear.
"What's the matter? Then let's play another day. "Kuang Lu stood up tactfully.
"I'm really sorry," Run Yu said with an apologetic smile. "There's a sudden visit from a guest, so I can't refuse. Today's game isn't finished yet. Will Kuang Lu come tomorrow? "
Hearing his question, Kuang Lu was very happy. Smiling brightly, she said, "Since you invited me, I will naturally come."
Run Yu said with a smile, "Of course it's a sincere invitation."
Kuang Lu nodded cautiously, "Then tomorrow at the same time."
"Good." Run Yu agreed.
After the two agreed, Kuang Lu didn't say anything else and happily returned to the small courtyard.
The next day, the Marquis Of Pingchang's residence sent someone to deliver some daily necessities to Kuang Lu.
Kuang Lu looked through them one by one. She saw that there was a box of her favorite pastries. Thinking that Run Yu lived in the back of the mountain and drank tea every day, it was very boring. Why not give this box of pastries to him and let him drink tea and eat pastries at the same time? Wouldn't that be more interesting?
She took the box of pastries and went to the back of the mountain.
On the way, she saw a person standing at the fork in the road. Looking at his attire, he didn't seem like someone from the temple. Although his brocade robe was simple and clean, one could see that it wasn't ordinary from the details.
Kuang Lu was puzzled.
Who was this person?
Ordinary pilgrims shouldn't come close to the back of the mountain.
Just as she was thinking, she heard a long whistle in the air. A gust of wind fell from the sky and rushed towards her. Kuang Lu only had time to turn her head to look. She saw a male eagle rushing towards her, its sharp claws viciously clawing at her.
Kuang Lu cried out in alarm. She raised her hand to cover her face and was unable to dodge in time. A long gash appeared on her arm and the pastries were knocked to the ground.
"Cang Xiao!" The person standing on the road whistled. The male eagle flapped its wings and flew over Kuang Lu's head. After circling around the person, it flew into the clear sky.
"Miss, have you been injured?" The person stepped forward to help Kuang Lu up. Seeing that her arm was bleeding, he said with an ashamed expression, "Poultry injuring people is my responsibility."
"That eagle was raised by you?" Kuang Lu held her right arm. Her clothes were torn and blood was constantly flowing out. When she touched it, the pain made her suck in a breath of cold air.
"Yes." The person said guiltily, "Cang Xiao usually isn't like this. It's probably because the smell in the temple is too strong and disturbed it."
"Since the smell is too strong, you shouldn't have brought it here." Kuang Lu avoided his hand that was supporting her. She lowered her head and saw that the ground was covered with pastries. She couldn't help but feel distressed.
She couldn't bear to eat a single one of these pastries. She wanted to send them to Run Yu. Great, now they were all wasted.
"Miss, you're right. This one will remember." The person supported Kuang Lu and had her sit on a rock at the side. He took out a box of ointment and said, "But for Miss' injury, you still need to apply ointment in time."
"No need," Kuang Lu hurriedly said, "I'll go back to the courtyard and apply the ointment myself."
The person smiled and was gentle and polite, "Miss' injury is on your right arm. How can you apply the ointment yourself? Besides, it was this one's eagle that injured Miss. This one should apply the ointment for Miss. Otherwise, this one will feel uneasy. "
Seeing that he was so insistent, Kuang Lu didn't refuse.
The person tore open the cloth around Kuang Lu's wound and sprinkled a lot of ointment on the wound.
Seeing that Kuang Lu was in so much pain that she frowned and turned her head away, not daring to look. He only felt that she was very smart and cute.
The person tore a piece of soft cloth from his clothes and wrapped it around her wound. After gently tying a knot, he said, "It's done. Today, don't let your arm get wet. Tomorrow, this one will come to change the ointment for Miss. "
"Tomorrow?" Kuang Lu hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't, don't, don't come."
Her injury was caused by him, that was true.
But it wasn't to the extent of having him come every day to change the ointment for her. Even in the temple, a single man and a single woman, if word got out, it would affect their reputation.
"As long as Miss' injury doesn't heal, this one will not be able to eat or sleep in peace." The person was extremely serious, "Besides, everyone in the temple is a monk. Could it be that Miss wants a monk to change the ointment for you?"
"You!" Kuang Lu angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Glaring at him, Kuang Lu turned around and left.
The person hurriedly stopped her, "This one spoke wrongly. This one apologizes to Miss."
Seeing him earnestly bow with his hands clasped, Kuang Lu couldn't continue to be angry. She softened her expression and said, "Gongzi doesn't need to come tomorrow."
Seeing that Kuang Lu was about to leave, the person asked again, "Since that's the case, this one is Xufeng. May I ask Miss' name?"
"Xufeng?" Kuang Lu only felt that this name was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before, "This one is Kuang Lu."
"Kuang Lu." Xufeng softly said.
Kuang Lu was slightly startled. When her name came out of his mouth, she actually felt strange. This feeling was really not good.
"Goodbye." Kuang Lu curtsied to him and hurriedly left.
"Kuang Lu." Xufeng stared at her receding figure and couldn't help but laugh.
The daughter of Marquis Of Pingchang, the number one beauty of Shangfeng, Kuang Lu. Although he hadn't seen her appearance, she was much more interesting than he had imagined.
After a day, Kuang Lu reluctantly changed the ointment and went to the back of the mountain.
Run Yu was brewing tea at the stone table. When he saw her come over, he smiled and said, "Today you came late."
Kuang Lu sat down and took the teacup he handed to her. She lifted a corner of her veil and drank it in one gulp, "En, I was delayed by something."
It was really inconvenient to change the ointment with one hand, so she spent a lot of effort to bandage the wound with a new cloth.
Run Yu's hand paused in the middle of pouring tea. He looked at her, "Are you injured?"
Kuang Lu was surprised and sniffed her arm, "The smell of medicine is so strong?"
Run Yu put down the small pot and explained, "It's not that the smell of medicine is strong. Run Yu's sense of smell is more sensitive than ordinary people's. It's been like this since he was young."
There was one more thing he didn't say.
Kuang Lu always had a faint dew fragrance on her body, like the dew condensed on a lotus leaf in the early morning. It was clear and natural, very pleasant to smell.
When she sat down just now, the fragrance was mixed with the smell of medicine, so he was sure that she was injured.
"I was scratched by an eagle yesterday," Kuang Lu played it down, "I've already applied medicine."
Run Yu's eyes accurately fell on her right arm, "Run Yu is rude. Can you let me see the wound?"
Kuang Lu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Run Yu walked to her side and sat down. His eyes paused on her face for a moment, then he gently rolled up her sleeve.
Run Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the clumsily bandaged cloth. Kuang Lu's cheeks were hot, "Because it's my left hand, it's not very convenient …" The more she said, the softer her voice became until it couldn't be heard.
Blood seeped out of the cloth. Run Yu immediately stopped laughing and said seriously, "It's not good to bandage the wound like this."
He got up and walked into the courtyard. Soon, he came out with a carved wooden tray. On the tray, there was a strip of cloth and a few small, exquisite bottles.
"Give me your hand," Run Yu said.
Kuang Lu handed her hand to him. Seeing him carefully unwrap the cloth, clean the wound, apply medicine, and wrap a clean new cloth around it and gently tie it, she couldn't help but whisper, "There's a bandit gentleman, like gold or tin, like a jade or a jade …" She couldn't stop herself.
Run Yu raised his head and gently smiled at her, "Since the wound is on your right arm, it won't be easy to change the medicine. In the next few days, Kuang Lu will come here. Run Yu can change the medicine for you. "
"Thank you." Kuang Lu agreed.
Run Yu carefully rolled up her sleeve and picked up a small white bottle from the tray. He handed it to her and said, "Take this pill orally. It can also speed up the healing of your wound."
When Kuang Lu reached out to take it, her fingers touched his fingers. When their skin touched, both of them felt a shock in their hearts. There was an indescribable feeling that flashed through their hearts.
Kuang Lu looked at Run Yu in surprise. She saw that he was also looking at her. His eyes were full of doubt.
What happened just now?
Kuang Lu hesitated and reached out again. She carefully avoided Run Yu's fingers and took the small bottle, "Thank you."
Run Yu put the tray on the stone bench. The tea just happened to be boiling. He sat back down and smiled, "Why don't we play a game?"
"Okay!" Kuang Lu excitedly took the black stones.
Run Yu put the brewed tea next to her hand. Seeing that Kuang Lu was focused, he also took the white stones and played seriously with her.
Half a day passed unknowingly. It was noon. The sun shone through the pine trees. It was like broken pieces of gold on the ground. It was dazzling.
"It's late. I have to go back." Kuang Lu put down the stones.
"It's not noon yet." Run Yu didn't understand.
"The Master Of Silence said that he would come to talk to me about Buddhism in the evening." Kuang Lu sighed.
She might not be able to understand a single word. If she fell asleep, what would he do?
Seeing her frown, Run Yu couldn't help but laugh, "If that's the case, then go back early and prepare!"
"Okay." Kuang Lu stood up and shook the small white bottle at him, "Thank you Run Yu for the good medicine."
"You're welcome." Run Yu nodded. He paused and asked, "Tomorrow … will you come again?"
