Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng looked at each other.
She had some understanding of the master of the Dongqing Temple. At least in terms of medical skills, she only knew some common pathologies.
Otherwise, when she and her father almost lost their lives back then, they would not have been saved by Zhao Xi, who was passing by.
Therefore, there should be another reason for Xiao Shitou’s illness. The master must have found the cause of the disease, which was why Xiao Shitou’s body recovered.
However, Shu Yu was now certain that the letter left behind by her master was indeed pointing to the southwest.
She looked at Xiao Shitou and asked, “Did the Daoist nun say where she was going before she left?”
“No, she stayed here for five or six days. One morning, when our whole family woke up, we saw that she was gone. The room was very clean, and there was no luggage. Later, we heard from the villagers who woke up early that the fairy left the village at dawn.”
Shu Yu asked a few more questions. Xiao Shitou had said everything he could. He did not know anything else.
Coincidentally, the village chief’s wife’s voice came from outside the door.
“Xiao Shitou, didn’t I ask you to call Young Sir Yun for dinner? Where did you
Shu Yu stopped asking and looked at Meng Yunzheng. “You go ahead.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the village chiefs wife came over with a bowl of food in her hand. When she saw Xiao Shitou, who was also in the room, she couldn’t help but glare at him. Then she smiled at Meng Yunzheng and said, “Sir Yun, go and eat. I’ll feed your wife.”
Meng Yunzheng stood up and took the bowl and chopsticks from her hands. “Aunt, you don’t have to be so polite. I’ll do it. Aunt, go eat first. I’ll come over later.’
He didn’t say that he would stay in the house to eat. He just found out that the master of Dongqing Temple had indeed come to Dafang Village, so he wanted to talk to the village chief again and ask about it.
However, when he finished feeding Shu Yu and returned to the dining room to eat, he did not get any more news from the village chief.
It was unknown whether it was because he did not know much or he was unwilling to reveal it. On the contrary, Xiao Shitou had told him everything he knew when he heard that Shu Yu was the temple master of Dong Qing.
Forget it, at least they had a clue about the master of Dongqing Temple.
Meng Yunzheng went back to his room after eating. Shu Yu was probably very tired and had fallen asleep on the bed.
Meng Yunzheng smiled and covered her with the blanket. Then, he sat on a stool beside her and leaned against the bed with his eyes closed.
Shu Yu woke up in the middle of the night. The moon was bright outside. She adapted a little and saw his posture. How could he fall asleep leaning against him ?
Sure enough, as soon as Shu Yu made a slight movement, Meng Yunzheng opened his eyes. “What’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
Shu Yu shook her head. “Why don’t you sleep on the bed? They still had to travel tomorrow, so they couldn’t be down in spirit. Besides, it’s cold at night and you don’t have your outer robe. What if you catch a cold?” Meng Yunzheng was speechless. Do you know what you are saying?
His eyes were burning bright. “Are you sure?”
Shu Yu moved inside and placed a pillow in the middle. “Do you feel better now?”
Meng Yunzheng felt that it was unnecessary.
After a moment of consideration, he did not refuse and lay down.
The two of them were an arm’s length apart, and neither of them spoke.
After a while, Meng Yunzheng said, “I’ll take responsibility.” Shu Yu almost burst out laughing. “It’s not necessary to do that..”
