Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe watched the carriage go away, and the world returned to its desolate state.

Huo Changhe held her hand and said, "Let's go. It's going to snow again."

"Will it snow at this time of year?" Yan Ruyu felt that she had seriously underestimated the length of winter here.

"Yes, it will take at least a month for the temperature to rise again," Huo Changhe warmed her hands and walked slowly with her hand, "This is a bitterly cold place, much worse than the capital."

There was a lot of apology and self-blame in his tone. Yan Ruyu chuckled: "What's the big deal? Fighting against the sky is endless fun, fighting against the earth is endless fun."

Huo Changhe's eyes were also filled with smiles: "Yu'er, you always surprise me."

“Now that it has come, make the best of it. Instead of complaining, it is better to go with the flow. If you don’t want to go with the flow, then fight it!”

Yan Ruyu ran a few steps and jumped on the horse: "Your Majesty, hurry up, Madam Cao has left some delicious food for us, it will get cold if we are late."

She rode her horse ahead, laughing all the way.

At this time, Cao's mansion was also bustling with activity.

Today's banquet satisfied all the guests. In the past, at such banquets, people would sit down late and leave early, and would only eat a few symbolic bites.

But today was different. Every dish was finished and we still felt like we wanted more.

Except for one person—the abbot.

He was a monk, so his sheets were arranged separately and there was a table full of vegetarian dishes.

It was not until this moment, when the abbot smelled the aroma of wine and meat from the next table, that he realized why Yan Ruyu gave him snacks.

That's it!

Is this a party? This is torture.

He took a few bites of the vegetarian dishes angrily. Although they tasted good, they were far inferior to the food and wine on the other tables.

Unable to bear it any longer, he left the table early and went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.

The kitchen was busy and no one noticed him. He took the opportunity to take away a few dishes, put them in the kitchen, and quietly left, preparing to find a place to eat.

Not far away there was a small pavilion, which looked like a garden, but at this time of year, there were no flowers and of course no one around. He sat in the pavilion, took out the dishes, and ate them slowly by himself.

There was some wine in the space, which was given to him by Yan Ruyu before, and he took it out to warm himself up.

It's nice here, but a little cold.

When he had almost finished eating, he vaguely heard voices. He quickly put the food away and rinsed his mouth quickly. Fortunately, he didn't drink much, so the smell of alcohol was not too strong.

When I left the pavilion and was about to go back, I heard crying.

At first, the children started crying, and then the women started crying.

How is this going?

The abbot was curious... no, he was filled with compassion and wanted to see what was going on.

After passing through a moon gate, I saw a woman hugging a child and crying.

The child was four or five years old, a cute little girl with two little pigtails, a red hairband, and a little red cape, looking very festive.

Even at this moment, her big eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very pitiful.

The woman who was hugging and crying with her had her back to the abbot and could not be seen for a while.

The little girl blinked and whispered, "Mother."

The woman turned around, saw the abbot, and quickly stood up.

She had never seen the abbot before. Although she also came to attend the banquet, she was a female member of the family and did not go to the men's side. However, when she saw the abbot's robes full of precious aura, she knew that he was not an ordinary person.

"Master." She wiped her tears and lowered her head and said, "I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Master."

The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "It's okay. I wonder why you two are crying here?"

Tears almost welled up in the woman's eyes again: "We are..."

The little girl whispered, "I am sick, an incurable disease, and my mother is very sad."

"I almost had a seizure again just now, and my mother started crying."

When the abbot heard this and looked at the little girl's appearance, his heart ached.

"What's wrong with the child?" asked the abbot.

The woman wiped her tears and shook her head, saying, "I can't say for sure. I've seen many doctors, and they all said something different."

“What are the symptoms when the disease occurs?”

The woman lowered her head and kept silent, tears falling non-stop. The little girl sensibly advised, "Mom, don't cry, I will be good."

The more she said this, the more heartbreaking it became.

"I... I know two doctors," the abbot cleared his throat. "They are very good doctors and have treated many difficult diseases. If you want to try, I can help you contact them, but you have to describe the symptoms of your child in detail."

When the woman heard this, hope ignited in her eyes again: "Then... I'm really sorry to trouble you, Master."

"When the child is ill, she falls to the ground, convulses, becomes unconscious, foams at the mouth, and sometimes clenches her teeth. I'm really worried that she might bite her tongue."

As she said this, the little girl pursed her lips tightly and looked at the little finger of her left hand.

The abbot also took a look and saw a deep tooth mark on her hand.

This disease sounds... so much like epilepsy?

This disease is indeed not easy to cure. Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, it still requires some effort.

However, Ruyu and Cao Junyi are both very skilled in medicine, so they should be able to find a way. Even if they can't cure the disease, they should be able to control and prolong the duration of the disease.

The abbot knew what was going on and nodded, saying, "I've made a note of it. How about this? You write down your home address and give it to Madam Cao. Someone will ask Madam Cao to pick it up later."

"Okay, okay." The woman thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, Master," the little girl also thanked him in a baby voice.

The abbot thought the child was really cute and took out a bottle of water from the space. It was medicinal spring water in a beverage bottle.

Even if I can't cure the child's illness, it will certainly help him strengthen his body.

"Here's this for you, try it."

The little girl looked at her mother, and was happy to accept it when she saw that her mother agreed.

"This bottle is so beautiful, and the water is so sweet."

When the abbot saw her smile, he couldn't help but smile too, as if he was back to the time when Xiao Qinxiang was still at home. The little girl was also very sweet-looking and had a sweet mouth. She called him "Grandpa Abbot", which was really happy.

Everything was fine and the atmosphere was just right.

Suddenly someone shouted, "What the hell, you liar, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me!"

This shout came suddenly and was like thunder, and the abbot's heart was shocked.

The little girl was so scared that she hid behind her mother.

The abbot turned his head and saw a monk walking towards him quickly, with a fierce look and raised eyebrows.

He was also wearing a monk's robe, which was about 70% new. He walked up to the abbot and angrily asked, "Which temple are you from?"

The abbot didn't want to pay attention to him, but he felt that this guy would think he was afraid.

"I came from the capital, invited by the governor to attend the banquet."

"From the capital?" The monk pouted. "Is he from some low-class temple? Was he kicked out? If he is really from the capital, would he be willing to come to a place like this?"

The abbot was surprised: "What's wrong with this place? This is the residence of Governor Cao, what's wrong with it? Besides, how could you bear to come here?"

"Did I mean that Governor Cao's family was bad? You monk, stop making trouble!"

The abbot almost laughed out of anger. Is this guy mentally ill? Who is making trouble?
