Chapter 196: Sadness at the sight of blood

It is said that during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a literary master named Wu Yaoyan (ancient "literature" is the most basic civil official name, similar to today's secretary) who was from Huizhou.

This Wu Yaoyan traveled in the capital when he was young and lived in the Huizhou Guild Hall at that time.

In the Huizhou Guild Hall, the three rooms in the front hall are the most spacious and bright; the east wing and the west wing on both sides are relatively clean; the last few rooms are close to the wall, so many trees are planted nearby.

At that time, there was a garrison named Li (the name of a military attache in the Ming and Qing Dynasties who was responsible for the defense of a certain city.). He also lived in the Huizhou Guild Hall. But he was the first to arrive, and since he had a large entourage, he occupied three large rooms in the front hall.

Because Wu Yaoyan came later and had few people with him, he lived in the east wing.

One day, Li Shoubei hung his sword on the pillar in the front hall. Unexpectedly, the knife suddenly slipped out of the scabbard.

Wu Yaoyan was shocked when he saw it from the side. He hurriedly approached and looked carefully at the knife to see if there was any mechanism on it.

Li Shoubei also felt a little strange. He pondered for a moment and said: "I once used this knife to go to Tibet and killed many people. This knife drank a lot of human blood, so it is quite spiritual! Every time I take it out of its sheath, there will be something." Something important has happened! It must see blood to survive. Maybe it has been a long time since it saw blood, so I think we should sacrifice it today!"

Wu Yaoyan was a civil servant and knew nothing about how their military attaches sacrificed swords. When he saw Li Shoubei wanted to sacrifice the sword, he just said nothing and watched from the sidelines.

I saw Li Shoubei calling one of his servants to kill the chicken and get the blood; and he asked another servant to go to the street to buy soju.

Then, Li Shoubei mixed the soju and chicken blood and sprinkled it on the knife for sacrifice.

It was noon at that time, and Wu Yaoyan accidentally saw a man in blue clothes climbing over the wall and entering the courtyard from the house behind.

He couldn't help but wonder: Why did a thief come in in broad daylight?

When he walked over to search, he found no one.

Wu Yaoyan thought that his eyesight was wrong, so he couldn't help but laugh at himself and said: "I am not even forty years old, why can't I see things clearly with my eyes?"

Li Shoubei also thought that he had seen it wrong, and he laughed it off without doubting his presence.

Not long after, a guest named Fan came to the capital to take part in the provincial examination, all the way from his hometown in Huizhou. When he set out, his friends told him that after arriving in the capital, he did not have to rent a house by himself, but could live in a guild hall from his fellow villagers.

So Fan broke in through the gate of the Huizhou Guild Hall with his luggage and servants, and said loudly: "I am also from Huizhou! When I came to the capital, I came here to find a place to live!"

As soon as Wu Yaoyan saw that he was a fellow countryman, he enthusiastically took him to the last room and said to him: "This is the only empty room in the guild hall now. But it's quite good here, but the wall is relatively low, and there is a market outside. You Be careful, there may be thieves. Especially at night, you need to be more careful.”

When Fan entered the door, he saw Li Shoubei's knife hanging on the pillar in the front hall. He smiled at him and said, "Then I will borrow Mr. Li's knife to guard against thieves!"

Li Shoubei agreed without hesitation, untied the knife from the pillar and handed it to him.

That night, Fan believed Wu Yaoyan's words and really prevented thieves. Although he was lying in bed, he kept sleeping with candles burning.

Before the second watch, Fan heard something moving outside and got up to check.

I saw a man in blue clothes outside the wall, pried open the window and jumped in.

Fan suddenly became nervous and hurriedly called his servant to get up and come over.

The servant also saw the man in blue. Without saying a word, he hurriedly pulled out Li Shoubei's knife and slashed forward. It seemed that someone was fighting with him in front of him.

The servant used all his strength to slash with his sword.

In this way, the fight lasted for a long time. The servant suddenly felt that there was someone behind him, hugged his waist, and waved his hands desperately: "It's me, it's me! Don't chop, don't chop anymore!"

When the servant heard it, the voice seemed to be that of his master.

He was taken aback and quickly put down the knife and looked back.

In the candlelight, Fan had been slashed by the servant until he was bleeding all over, and he fell to the ground dying.

At this time, Wu Yaoyan and Li Shoubei heard shouts from the house behind them and hurriedly got up and came to check.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Fan lying on the ground in a bloody state and hurriedly asked why.

After learning that he was accidentally injured by a servant, Wu Yaoyan was shocked and said: "The servant killed his master. According to the law, the servant should be executed by Lingchi!"

Li Shoubei said: "However, this servant of the Fan family did not murder his master on purpose! He was teased by ghosts for the sake of the Savior, and he accidentally hurt his master in desperation. This situation should be excusable. ?”

Wu Yaoyan said hurriedly: "Then tell me, what should we do?"

Li Shoubei thought for a moment and said: "I think that while the master is still alive, he can write a personal letter to prove that the servant did not mean it, so that it can be used to forgive the servant's sins!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what the guard said was reasonable, so they hurriedly took paper and pen and handed them to Fan.

Fan endured the severe pain and wanted to write down "Injury by accident". Who would have known that before he finished writing these three words, Fan started bleeding and could no longer write.

At this time, Wu Yaoting's old servant said: "I just saw a grass planted under the wall. Its name is 'Xue Jianchou', which is specially used to stop bleeding. We can pick it, mash it, and apply it to the wound."

Wu Yaoyan knew that the ancestor of this old servant was a doctor. Later, when his family fell into decline, he sold himself into slavery. However, he still has a lot of research on medicinal materials. I usually have a headache, a fever, etc., and I don’t need to call a doctor. This old servant can solve it with just one medicine.

Wu Yaoyan confirmed that his old servant knew the medicinal herbs, and everyone immediately did what he said.

That "Blood Seeing Sorrow" is really effective! After applying it, the bleeding from Fan's wound gradually stopped, so he was saved and did not die.

Wu Yaoyan and Li Shoubei also thought of their fellow villagers and donated money together to help Fan return home.

Less than half a month after the incident, when Wu Yaoting's old servant was urinating under the wall, he suddenly felt a big hand slapping his face, and a voice scolded: "I want to avenge myself. What does it have to do with you?! You’re so conspicuous, why do you have to show off that you’re worried about seeing blood?”

The old servant looked up and saw that it was the man in blue from before!
