Thick dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the calm lake was suddenly disturbed. A few drops of drizzle fell, and ripples spread out. Huoran?wen???w?w?w?.

A drop of rain fell on Li Xianyuan's eyes, and he blinked subconsciously.

"Bodhisattva, please bless my daughter-in-law, mother and son for their safety..."

"My mother is seriously ill in bed, but the child has no money to treat her. Lord Bodhisattva, please save my mother!"

"It hasn't rained yet in spring. If it doesn't rain, the crops will not be saved. Buddha, please... why are you standing there? Kneel down quickly!"

"The little daughter of the Wang family in the west of the city is in love with me, but her mother thinks that I am poor and have no money... Bodhisattva, please help me sell the calligraphy and paintings I sent to Huashuge, so that I can have money to marry the queen."

"The woman is pregnant with a son again, and the Bodhisattva bless it to be a boy..."

"Buddha……"

"Buddha."

"Buddha!"

One flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi.

In the blink of an eye, countless voices of prayer came into my mind, and countless men, women, old and young, poor, rich and noble appeared in my eyes, kneeling down with their hands clasped together, praying devoutly.

After opening his eyes, all illusions disappeared, and only the lake was disturbed by the drizzle, full of ripples. Just like Li Xianyuan's heart.

It is drizzling at night and Qinghu Lake is hazy.

…

It rained lightly in the evening. It didn't last long, but it only lasted for a pack of cigarettes.

The clouds have dispersed and the sky is clear, the bright moon hangs high, but the dark clouds are still in the sky, blocking most of the stars.

The green bricks were wet, and the rainwater accumulated in the potholes reflected the moonlight. A watchman in a raincoat was beating the gong as he walked through the streets. Rainwater flowed from the eaves, and the sound of dripping came from all directions.

After a rain, the heat of the day is gone, and it feels cool and refreshing. The streets are empty and there are few passers-by. Even the brothels have lost a bit of their popularity.

A bleak figure walked along the long street after the rain. The figure's thin clothes clung to its body. It seemed a bit lonely. The figure walked around and entered an inn.

There was a weak candlelight on the counter, and the child was dozing on the desk. No one knew who was coming. The figure stepped upstairs, leaving a wet footprint.

Squeak——

Pushing the door open, a slightly fat woman came to greet her: "Mr. Li, why are you getting wet?"

"How is the patient?" Li Xianyuan said, his voice indifferent.

"I've gone to bed, the wind and cold haven't subsided yet." The woman stood aside and said respectfully.

Li Xianyuan walked to the bed and saw that the woman was already asleep with a towel covering her forehead.

Li Xianyuan nodded and walked back to his room opposite.

The woman stared blankly as Li Xianyuan returned to his room and closed the door.

This Young Master Li... is not exactly what he imagined. The people in the Li family are said to be approachable and polite, but now...

She was panicked for a moment. Could it be that she had done something wrong to make Mr. Li angry?

…

After a silent night, the waiter of the inn came early with food and knocked on the door.

There was no answer when he knocked on the door, but the woman in the opposite room opened the door and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"This is Lord Li's breakfast. The younger one brought it to him, but no one answered."

"No one answered? Mr. Li came back yesterday and should be in the room at this time."

"But..." The waiter was about to say that no one answered the door, but the woman suddenly said nervously: "Don't worry!"

After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, he bumped into him.

The woman was naive and thought that something had happened to Li Xianyuan rather than any other possibility.

The door latch was made of thin wood, which could not withstand a person bumping into it. With a bang, the two doors opened. The waiter was stunned when he saw it, and he hurriedly woke up and stepped forward to stop it.

Then they saw Li Xianyuan lying on the bed, wearing a wet gown.

Li Xianyuan was infected with cold.

…

"I got caught in the rain and didn't take off my wet clothes when I came back, so I got a high fever." Taking his finger off his pulse, the doctor raised his head and said to the people gathered in front of the window.

He didn't quite understand why Li Xianyuan wore wet clothes to sleep.

When they learned that Li Xianyuan was ill, everyone who knew him came. However, they did not dare to tell Situ Yanran.

"Is it serious?" the county magistrate asked anxiously.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Li is not seriously ill. I will give him some Angong Niuhuang Pills later." The doctor said and got up from the bench. "My lords, please step aside and let Mr. Li breathe some fresh air."

Li Xianyuan changed into dry underwear and covered himself with the quilt, only his head was exposed. He frowned slightly.

The county magistrate, master, Dean Huo and Shen Sheng and his son dispersed after hearing this, and Shen Sheng even ran to open the window.

Chirp——

The birds outside the window were frightened and spread their wings and flew away. The sky outside was slightly overcast and it seemed like it was going to rain.

The unique earthy fragrance after the rain floods into the room, which is particularly refreshing.

"Furry, Xianyuan is still sick. If you open the window, don't you want to make the condition worse?" Father Shen shouted.

After realizing it, Shen Sheng said oh and reached out to close the window.

"Wait a minute, uncle." A weak voice sounded from the bed. "Open the window."

"Brother Li." Shen Sheng turned around in surprise and was about to pounce, but his father held his head and couldn't make any progress.

"You feel better." Father Shen said solemnly.

Li Xianyuan, who had just woken up, nodded and turned his gaze to Dean Huo. Dean Huo, dressed in Confucian attire, nodded lightly to Li Xianyuan. However, following Li Xianyuan's words, his expression changed slightly.

"Dean Huo, I want to withdraw from the academy."

Several people present looked at each other, and Dean Huo frowned: "But something happened."

What Li Xianyuan said was really unexpected.

They discovered that Li Xianyuan was slightly different from the past. When he first came down the mountain, Li Xianyuan was indifferent, but as time went by, he was like an iceberg melting. But overnight, Li Xianyuan returned to his original appearance, indifferent and unlike a person in the world.

Li Xianyuan said: "I want to leave Wuhou County for a while."

The county magistrate vaguely realized something and asked: "How long."

"It can take a few months, or it can take a long time..." Li Xianyuan did not continue.

"Brother Li, tell us what happened..." Shen Sheng was anxious and quickly spoke.

Father Shen stopped Shen Sheng from continuing. He saw that Li Xian was determined, so he asked: "When."

"today."

"Today?" The master's eyes widened slightly. "But you are still seriously ill."

The county magistrate also frowned and said, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Li Xianyuan nodded slightly, time was running out and he had to race against time.

When he suddenly heard the bad news, he didn't even have time to prepare. That's how things are in the world. If it weren't for black and white, he wouldn't be able to understand it until his death.

When they met each other, Father Shen ordered Shen Sheng to go out and watch the door so no one could come in.

After Shen Sheng went out, Shen's father turned to look at Li Xianyuan seriously: "What happened? It's better to say that walls have ears. It's inconvenient for you to tell..."

As he spoke, he scanned a circle of houses coldly.

"It's okay." Li Xianyuan supported the bed with both hands and sat up, sliding the quilt down.

"I encountered some things that made me realize some truth, and I want to go out for a walk."

Seeing Li Xianyuan's resolute attitude, the few people said nothing. The county magistrate asked again: "Do you need to send some guards to follow you? You are a sixth-rank official, how can you do it without guards. Otherwise, let the two brothers Songshan and Songshi go with you. Protect."
