Xin Law Firm prescribes a decoction of each dose, divided into three meals, one dose of medicine is a day's supply. Qin Langchuan took three doses, the red spots on his body receded, and after diagnosis and inspection, it was confirmed that he had returned to normal, and when the news came out, everyone was happy. Xinlu stopped for another two days before everyone was allowed to visit. Chang Sihao and An Ziteng and others entered the house, only to feel the smell of medicine, and looked at it, the indoor doors and windows were nailed by quilts, not to mention that the light could not penetrate, and the stuffy air was quite turbid. The bean lamp flickered on the small table on the side of the couch, Qin Langchuan sat cross-legged on the bed, heard the sound of the door, and opened his eyes. Everyone saw that his eyes were clear and bright, but after this disease, his forehead was deep, his eyebrows were as pale as grass, his face was much haggard, the back of his hands was slightly swollen, his skin was dry and bright, and his veins were green, showing a brittle and tender old state.

"Old lady, how are you?" "Old lady, you can sit down!" Everyone stepped forward, and you greeted him one by one, Chen Shengyi was especially happy: "The old lady's body is really not bone-in-one, everyone is old and strong, I think you are strong but not old!" Qin Langchuan smiled lightly and waved his hand: "As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, let alone a plague? Xin Lu said: "The old man praised it falsely, the epidemic is the most devastating spirit, ordinary people can be cured, and most of them will wilt for many days, and they will recuperate, looking at your current state, the spirit and spirit have recovered seven points, which is indeed rare." Chang Sihao rubbed his nose: "Mrs. Shi, since the old lady's illness is almost cured, this room doesn't need to be sealed so tightly, right?" Xinlu nodded, and personally went up to remove the sheets and cotton curtains that blocked the window, Qin Langchuan had not seen the sun for three days, felt a little dazzling, and covered his forehead with his hand and smiled: "This is really: the young master unveiled the black curtain and finally reopened the ...... of the day" Chen Sheng said: "The old hero wears a battle robe, and he deserves to unify the three armies again!" Everyone applauded and laughed.

Chang Sihao said: "Hehe, these two sentences are in one place, don't they become a couplet?

Qin Juexiang looked at Xinlu in a daze and didn't know what to think, he was a little stunned when he called him, and opened his mouth to say: "A match made in heaven......" Everyone laughed, hindering Xinlu's presence, and each covered his mouth and braked.

Xinlu's face was indifferent, and she turned her head and walked out of the house.

Qin Langchuan pointed at Qin Juexiang's nose and scolded, "Have you read that book to the dog's belly?"

An Ziteng smiled and persuaded: "The young master uses the wrong idiom, and it doesn't matter." Qin Juexiang knew that he was not making a small mistake, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything. Qin Langchuan said: "Why don't you chase it out and accompany the head of Xinlu!"

Qin Juexiang came out in a gloomy manner, and couldn't find Xin Lu, I heard that she went out to the city, and she was busy with the dart game, so she hurried to catch up.

Xinlu knew it was him when she heard the footsteps behind her, and she didn't make a sound, but only looked forward.

Qin Juexiang wanted to apologize but couldn't speak, so he followed behind and looked around, scratching his head from time to time, and laughed twice. Xinlu said: "You go back, I'm not angry." Qin Juexiang picked up a stubble, and hurriedly followed two steps up and said, "Yes, Sister Xinlu, you are so well cultivated, when you are angry, it is like not being angry." Xinlu said, "What do you mean by being like not being angry? Qin Juexiang smiled: "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing again." Sister Xinlu, your temper is so good, if I encounter something angry, I can't help it, and I will definitely have a seizure. ”

Xinlu turned her head to look at him: "Do you think I don't have a seizure, but I endure it, but I am angry in my stomach?" Qin Juexiang hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't mean that......" Xinlu snorted, turned her head and continued walking. Qin Juexiang was still following behind, and Xinlu asked, "Why are you still following me?" Qin Juexiang said with a bitter face: "You snorted just now, obviously you are still angry." Xinlu looked at his wrinkled little face, angry and funny, and burst out loud with joy, saying, "Forget it, I'm angry, now it's gone, you go back." ”

Qin Juexiang saw that her smile was bright, compared to the usual cold appearance, a living fairy, a fake wood carving, it was a world of difference, I was happy and itchy in my heart, and I couldn't say a taste of it, I usually did everything with those servants in the house, but I didn't have this feeling when I faced Xinlu, I didn't have half of the evil thoughts in my chest, I just wanted to be able to follow her quietly, often not far away, if I looked at it from the ground, I would be satisfied.

Seeing that he was not moving, Xinlu asked, "What do you think of me like this?"

Qin Juexiang came back to his senses: "Sister Xinlu, you look good when you laugh, but you don't usually laugh, aren't you happy?"

Xinlu shook her head: "I'm not unhappy, seven emotions and six desires, I should have been tempered." ”

Qin Juexiang said: "So this is also practice? Don't laugh when you're happy, don't cry when you're sad, so what's the point of living?" Xinlu smiled lightly: "Six senses give birth to six dusts, and six dusts give birth to seven emotions, is it true that people live to be swayed by these emotions and face all kinds of life, to cry, cry, laugh and laugh? The question you asked is still difficult to explain with my current cultivation, the purpose of my own cultivation is to get rid of the control of the seven emotions and six desires on people, and find the freedom of the heart from calm. ”

"Hmm...... The freedom of the heart ......" Qin Juexiang pondered her words and felt quite interesting. If you want to find freedom, you must have an obstacle in your heart, if there is no obstacle, I am afraid that I will not even have this idea of finding freedom? Could it be that there is something in her heart that is depressed? Seeing Xinlu walking away, she hurriedly followed two steps to catch up. Xinlu frowned and said, "Why do you always follow behind me, so that people on the street look like?" Qin Juexiang was puzzled: "Why is it not decent?" Xinlu said: "A nun walks on the street with a child, isn't it very unpresentable?" Qin Juexiang puffed up his chest: "I'm not a child!" Xinlu smiled: "Okay, okay, you're not a child, you're a big man, let me ask you, a nun always has a big man behind her, is it good-looking?"

Qin Juexiang blinked his eyes and asked, "Sister Xinlu, what are the six senses, the six dusts, and the seven feelings?" Xinlu was upset by him, but when asked about things related to Buddhism, he couldn't help but talk about it, and replied: "Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and meaning are the six senses, color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and law are the six dusts, and happiness, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, evil, and desire are the seven emotions." Qin Jue said: "You annoy me to follow you, is it considered the evil of the seven feelings?" Xin Lu was stunned when she heard this. Qin Juexiang said with a smile: "You hate me for following you, it means that cultivation is not enough, if your heart is really calm and free, you will not be afraid of other people's eyes and irresponsible words." Xinlu looked at him thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly closed her eyes and smiled, nodding and saying, "You're right." And he drove him no more.

The two of them walked all the way, the street was deserted, there was no one, and I didn't feel embarrassed, Qin Juexiang couldn't help but say: "Sister Xinlu, I don't understand, you people who study Buddhism have a lot of precepts, you can't eat this, you can't do that, so how can you have freedom?" Xinlu said: "Freedom is not the same as lawlessness, no matter what time it is, it is limited, some cannot be broken through, some cannot be broken through, and some do not have to be broken through." It's like a person who can fly in the sky in a dream, but wakes up only to find himself trapped in the physical body, and similar things are always helpless. You think that killing and eating meat is freedom, but what's so good about this freedom? So the precept is not necessarily a precept, as long as the heart has no intention to offend, or can't bear to offend, doesn't want to offend, it doesn't make a difference whether it exists or not. Qin Juexiang smiled evilly: "The meat is so fragrant, I don't believe you are not greedy." Xinlu seemed to be talking to the chicken and the duck, and smiled helplessly and stopped talking. The two turned out of the street, and at this time they suddenly heard the noise of people in the east, as if they were fighting in a group, and they looked for it, only to see a group of people pushing me and squeezing into a medicine store, and those who couldn't squeeze in scolded each other and fought.

Qin Juexiang smiled and said, "Could it be that this medicine shop is selling the elixir of immortality?"

Someone in the pharmacy shouted, "Everyone, stop crowding, stop fighting!" Listen to me!" Someone on the street shouted, "Stop! Listen to what the shopkeeper has to say!" The shopkeeper of the pharmacy squeezed to the door and showed his face, and said: "Everyone, it's useless for you to squeeze, the medicine has been sold out, if there is, can I not take it out?" There was a humane on the street: "Shopkeeper Wu, we are all neighbors for decades, at this time you want to sell the medicine at a high price, that is a lack of virtue!"

The shopkeeper Wu's face immediately changed, and he pointed his hand to the high place of the lintel, and said loudly: "This plaque of Han and incense has been hung for 124 years since the eighth year of Xuande, and has gone through eight dynasties! The state has national law, and doctors have medical ethics! Although our old Wu family opened a pharmacy in business, our ancestors have sold medicine for generations, and no one has ever sold conscience!"

People didn't want to listen to these at all, and some people asked: "Forsythia, rhubarb, and miscanthus are all commonly used, and there should be a lot of them in the store on weekdays, but don't even these medicines be left?" The shopkeeper Wu said: "All of them are sold out! Not only those, but there are no bupleurum, kudzu, cork, skullcap, Qianghuo, Angelica dahurica, and even licorice left!" Everyone fell silent, with a frustration on their faces that bordered on despair.

Xinlu listened to what they said about some medicines to remove filth and eliminate epidemics, sesame poison and clear the plague, and her heart was shocked, and she vaguely felt that something big was going to happen. There was a man in the crowd: "The pharmacies in the city have been run all over the city, and they are all sold out, but what can I do if I call people? Do you sit and wait for death?" Another person cried: "My mother is covered in spots and coughing up blood, and she can't stand it anymore...... Another person said: "Shopkeeper Wu, you have to think of a way to save everyone's lives!"

Shopkeeper Wu was also sweating anxiously, hesitated for a moment, opened his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, there is no other way now, I will go to meet the prefect Lord Liu, and ask him to beg General Yan to open the city gate and send someone out to purchase medicinal materials!"
