A gentle breeze blew, lifting the curtains. The bright moonlight pierced through the dark clouds and poured softly into the sickroom. With the help of the moonlight, Tang En finally saw the true form of the "black tea table". It was a giant python as thick as an adult's thigh, its cold snake eyes staring at him unblinkingly. Its blood-red tongue darted in and out, emitting a threatening hiss.
Tang En's eyes widened in fear, he had never seen such a huge python before. His palms subconsciously clenched tightly, but he felt a sharp pain, only then did he remember that he was holding a flying knife. Without hesitation, his wrist shook and the flying knife shot out, bringing with it a piercing sound. The flying knife hit the python's white belly with precision, but unfortunately, the sharp flying knife couldn't pierce through the giant snake's bodily defense.
The flying knife slid down the snake's belly and fell to the ground, making a crisp crashing sound. Tang En's knife not only failed to rescue himself from his predicament but also enraged the giant python. He stumbled backward in panic, accidentally knocking over an instrument, shattering the silence of the room. The giant python suddenly opened its huge mouth, its sharp fangs issuing a silent threat. Tang En was so frightened that he almost forgot to breathe. He stumbled and staggered as he tried to run, but the few steps that had seemed insignificant before now became an uncrossable chasm. Before his hand even touched the door handle, he felt a sudden tightness around his waist, and his entire body lifted off the ground.
Tang En let out a sharp cry, the python coiled around his waist suddenly tightened, strangling him until he was almost suffocated.
The giant python slowly wrapped Tang En like a mummy, leaving no gaps except for two nostrils. It was almost impossible to see that its coiled body had someone inside. The python neither strangled Tang En to death nor crushed his bones. It just faithfully acted as a living prison, not allowing him any chance of escape. Silently, it transformed back into the "coffee table" and continued to doze off as a bodyguard. This time, however, the "coffee table" was noticeably larger than before.
Just as Tang En thought he would be frozen to death by the python's body temperature and was desperate, the python wrapped around his body loosened, and he finally saw the sky. However, looking at the white-clothed man standing in front of him, he would rather die in the python's belly!
Tang En has already been able to meet his next tragic fate... Xiaojingchen felt that she had a very long dream, in which there was a compassionate master, a mischievous and playful junior apprentice, a strict and serious senior brother, a steamed bun who loved to pull radishes, a vegetable package who loved to bask in the sun, a potato who liked to show off his might, a sugar gourd who always hung on books without coming down, and an eggplant who kept entwining her.
She goes through the motions every day, fetching water, practicing her skills, reciting scriptures and copying Buddhist texts, carrying a bundle of vegetables, steamed buns, eggplant sugar gourd and potatoes as she runs back and forth in the big forest. When night falls, she "happens" to meet her master's nephew who has come into the mountains to chop firewood, and they return home together.
This has always been Xiao Jingchen's way of life. She likes temples filled with sandalwood, likes masters who meditate like they're dozing off, likes strong and powerful junior masters who teach her many things, likes senior masters who use the precept hall as a martial arts hall, she likes the lush and dense Ten Thousand Great Mountains, likes those ferocious beasts that are even more lovely than pets.
She likes many many things, but Xiao Jingchen feels... it seems like something is missing!
What's missing?
Xiao Jingchen sat on the pile of firewood, watching the busy kitchen helper rushing back and forth, watching the wisps of smoke rising from the roof, listening to the clear voice of Buddha coming from the Daxiong Treasure Hall. She should have felt very happy and blissful, but...
Xiao Jingchen reached out and touched his own chest, furrowed his brow, how could it be empty?
Seems like... something's missing?
The aged master slowly walked into the yard, and Xiao Jing immediately jumped down from the woodpile and ran over with a thud, "Master~~~!" Hugging the master and rubbing against him repeatedly, it felt like he hadn't acted spoiled with his master in a long time!
The abbot's dry, rough hands pressed on her head and rubbed it gently, the black hair fluttering and brushing against her cheeks, causing a slight itch. Xiaojing dust was puzzled and grabbed the long hair by her ears, blinking her eyes in confusion - she was a nun, how could she have such long hair?
Master Fangzhang led her to the edge of the woodpile, watching as she effortlessly lifted and placed her sister on top of it. She sat down, gazing up at the grey sky that was still hazy despite the lack of city pollution. In a slow and gentle tone, she asked, "Jingchen, how is life in the mountains?"
"Down the mountain?" Xiao Jingchen blinked her eyes in confusion, had she ever been down the mountain...?
"Yes, life at the foot of the mountain, the bustling city with cars and horses galloping by, crowded tourist attractions, noisy schools, do you like it?"
Xiao Jingchen's eyes looked somewhat blank, his dull brain slowly turning, some unfamiliar yet familiar scenes gradually emerging in his mind. Xiao Jingchen subconsciously leaned towards Shifu, his bewildered eyes slowly becoming clear and pure black, enough to bury all negative emotions.
"Clean dust, Master sent you down the mountain, hoping that you can truly experience all the worldly things, including happiness, joy, anger, sadness, sorrow and pain. When you can face all the hardships in the world with a smile, without any attachment, then you have truly achieved detachment from worldly desires."
"Master, Jingchen wants to return to the temple." Little Jingchen looked up at Master Fangzhang and said softly.
Master Fangzhang pressed her head again with his dry palm, and his palm slid to her eyes, covering the window of her soul. Xiao Jingchen moved her ears slightly, and her keen sense of hearing allowed her to feel the warmth and calmness in Master's words very clearly. "Tell Master, who is the person you miss the most right now?"
Xiao Jing's eyes widened in shock, her small mouth slowly pouted, and her eyes became moist as she choked back tears and burst into sobs, "Daddy!!"
In an instant, the sunlight pierced through the dark clouds and illuminated the earth. Xiaojing was stimulated by the intense light and couldn't open his eyes, so he could only rely on his ears to capture the gradually fading voice of Shifu, "The Buddha is compassionate, but also has a moment of golden anger."
Xiao Jingchen felt like she had slept for a long time, but it was also possible that it was only a few seconds. She slowly opened her eyes, and her vision was a bit blurry, with everything appearing completely white. Her lips and nose were covered by an oxygen mask, and even her breathing seemed to be somewhat out of control.
For a few seconds, Xiaojing felt numb and stunned, feeling the pain in her body, as if her heart was torn apart, making her dare not move at all.
A figure appeared in the blurry vision. The outline wasn't very clear, but Xiaojing recognized her dearest family member from her dreams at a glance, and her eyes instantly moistened. Big tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, slowly opening her mouth, silently whispering "Dad!!"
Bai Xijing gently wiped away the tears from Xiao Jing's eyes, but her own hair was still uncontrollably damp. Bai Xijing felt a sharp pain in her heart, an acidic feeling that rose up to her eyes, blurring her vision. Hot liquid fell, splashing onto the oxygen mask.
Xiao Jingyan moved her fingers slightly, but unfortunately, at this moment she was as weak as a rag doll and probably couldn't even lift a fingernail.
Bai Xi Jing tightly grasped her small paws that were holding the ECG. He said softly, "Don't be afraid, Daddy is here with you, and you will get better soon."
"Hmm." The big eyes blinked slowly, and Xiao Jingchen smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. A blurry black shadow appeared on the edge of his vision, although it was unclear, but Xiao Jingchen recognized it at a glance, "Eggplant~~!"
The eggplant spat out two red seeds with a hiss. Little Jing dust closed his eyes and rested, so tired!
But Xiaozhi's small paws grasped Bai Xijing's hand tightly, leaving no gap.
In the past few days, other members of the Bai family took turns to stay with Bai Xijing to take care of him. Today it was Bai Lejing's turn. As soon as he saw Xiao Jingchen wake up, he immediately went to find a doctor, but returned in just over a minute, however, Xiao Jingchen had already fallen asleep again.
Baile Jing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, pouting and looking at Bai Xijing beside her, whose spirit had clearly improved a lot, "What do you plan to do?"
Bai Xi Jing stared unblinkingly at the doctor's examination movements and said lightly, "Do what needs to be done."
Bai Le Jing: "......" Can't you be serious for once?! Flip the table!
The news of Xiao Jing's awakening spread to all her relatives and friends at an incredible speed, it can be seen that although she was a bit silly, violent, and cruel, but her relationships were really good. Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, and many others, including Bai Luo Chen, Bai Xue Chen, Bai Yu Chen, Tang Miao Miao, Qian Duo Duo, Ai Mei Luo Jia Ni, Shang Guan Zhe, etc., all came to visit her, whether they were busy or not, taking time off work or playing hooky. In less than a day, the hospital room was filled with all kinds of gifts, and except for Shang Guan Zhe, that little rascal who sent a big bouquet of roses and got kicked out by Bai Xi Jing to be re-educated, everyone else had the tacit understanding to send food.
All kinds of large, small and medium-sized fruit baskets, all sorts of beautifully packaged supplements, various gift boxes of snacks and beverages, etc., piled up so high that there was hardly any room to stand in the ward. The eggplant could only be placed under the bed with a few large watermelons as background.
Xiao Jing was young and seriously injured, losing a lot of blood. Although she woke up, her spirit was very poor. She could only stay awake for about 10 minutes before sleeping for an hour or two. Everyone didn't force her to stay awake, they all came quietly, making sure she was really okay before leaving with peace of mind. Luckily, some people caught her when she was awake and chatted with her for a bit, but most people could only see her peaceful sleeping face.
Under the careful care of Bai Xi Jing, Xiao Jingchen's injuries gradually improved, the oxygen mask was removed, the ECG monitor was removed, and she was transferred from the intensive care unit to a ordinary VIP ward. Her spirit also slowly recovered, except for her pale complexion and slightly thinner body compared to healthy children, there is almost no difference. She can't do too strenuous exercise, twenty-two hours a day are spent in bed, and the remaining two hours are spent being pushed by her silly dad to bask in the sun and stroll through the garden, feeling the fresh air.
After Xiaojing woke up, the city's No. 1 Hospital lifted its guard and reopened for business. Despite being closed for so long due to special reasons, not only was the hospital's reputation unaffected, but even more patients flocked to it.
Even Bai Xijin sent his beloved daughter to this hospital for treatment, it can be seen that the First Hospital is indeed the best and most outstanding hospital in S City. Most importantly, with the presence of Bai Xijin, a great god, the medical ethics of doctors can also be guaranteed with the highest authority.
Who dares to frame the patient's family, randomly prescribe medicine, and take bribes under the nose of the big BOSS?! RQ
