Chapter Thirteen Wooden Kites
When Sun Qin saw Mrs. Lin crying, she burst into tears, "How could it be so serious? Although this child has been in poor health since childhood, he has grown up? Why can't he be cured?"
Mrs. Lin held back her tears, "In recent years, your uncle and I have invited famous doctors from all over the country to treat Chengzhang. I don't know how many boxes of silver have been spent. But not only did the disease not healed, but it has become more and more fierce. This year, since the weather turned colder, he has never stopped coughing, and he couldn't sleep all night long. Look at the way he looked just now, and he was also yellow, and his body was only covered with a skeleton, without any energy. I am really afraid that he would... one day..." Speaking of this, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "There is another thing I have never told you. Your uncle has raised a young man outside, and the woman gave birth to a son for him. If Chengzhang is gone, what should I do? I simply don't live anymore. It would be fine if he let him go."
Sun Qin felt sad when she said it. She sighed a few times, not knowing how to comfort her, but at this moment, her mind was filled with inspiration and her other hand hurriedly covered Mrs. Lin's arm, "Auntie, since the doctor can't even treat my cousin's illness, it's better to try other methods."
Mrs. Lin raised her head, "What are you talking about?"
Sun Qin leaned forward, "I have a neighbor who is as weak as my cousin since childhood. But a few days ago, I met him again, but I found that he seemed to have become another person, without breathing even when walking more than ten miles of mountain road. What's wrong? He followed a master. The humanitarian law is extremely high, and living people can cure them, and dead people can cure them. I have grown up so old that I have never seen a person as powerful as her."
Mrs. Lin hesitated for a moment, "We have not found Taoist priests and immortals in the past few years, but in the end, not only did they not cure the disease, but they almost killed Chengzhang several times. So your uncle made a vow to never follow these evil ways again. If you take Chengzhang over and the disease is not cured, I am afraid that you will complain."
Sun Qin knew that her aunt was using her uncle as a shield, so she said again, "If I only listened to my neighbor's words, I would not be so convinced by that master. Only half a month ago, she cured my father and drove out the evil ghosts in his body. This was what I saw with my own eyes. No, everyone in our entire village saw it, so since then, everyone admired her very much."
After hearing what she said so affirmed, Mrs. Lin suddenly became energetic. She let go of Sun Qin and slapped the table, "Xiaoqin, if there is such a master, I will take Chengzhang to see her no matter what. In this way, you can help me lead the way, the faster we will get better. Chengzhang's illness is really undesirable."

The sedan chair could not get up to the foot of the mountain. Mrs. Lin and Sun Qin looked at the snow-covered hillside, and were secretly anxious. They could still barely climb up, but it was probably even harder to climb up to this mountain than climbing the sky.
Was worried, I felt a gust of wind above my head. Then, a shadow covered the warm winter sun and enveloped the people and the sedan chair under me. Mrs. Lin and Sun Qin looked up at the same time and saw a wooden kite hovering above. It was half a person tall, and its body was made of bamboo, which was extremely thin. Its eyes were drawn, but it could move. At this moment, it was staring at the top of the sedan chair below, and its wings blew out a breeze.
Chengzhang was alarmed by the screams outside, and opened the curtain of the sedan chair and poked his head out. Mu Yuan saw Chengzhang and screamed twice, bent down and fell from the sky, and landed next to the sedan chair. Chengzhang walked out of the sedan chair and touched Mu Yuan's smooth head with his hand, "Are you looking for me?"
Mu Yuan screamed twice, as if responding to his words. Cheng Zhang asked again, "Do you want me to go up the mountain?"
Muquan did not answer this time. It lowered its body towards Cheng Zhang and folded its wings back, obviously signaling him to climb up.
Looking at its body made of bamboo, Cheng Zhang was a little hesitant, and Mrs. Lin even walked up and pulled his sleeve, "It's not possible. If it falls down, what should I do?"
At this moment, a loud but tender voice came from the top of the mountain, "Chengzhang, if you want to recover from the serious illness, take this wooden kite and come to Sansuguan to find me."
"That's right, that's right, it's the voice of that master." Sun Qin grabbed Mrs. Lin's hand excitedly, "She didn't know we were coming here today, so she called out Cheng Zhang's name for nothing and sent a bird to pick him up. Aunt, Zhang'er's illness may be saved."
Mrs. Lin was still a little hesitant, but Cheng Zhang firmly stepped on the bird's back, "Let's go, I've had enough of this sick and weak body. I'll take a gamble today. Even if I fell to death, I have no regrets."
The wooden kite roared for a long time, ran a few steps on the ground and flew towards the top of the mountain, Cheng Zhang sniffed the wet and cool air in the air, but did not cough as often as usual. So he took a few more breaths, trying to remember the smell of freedom in his heart.
After about a quarter of an hour, the Muquan arrived at the top of the mountain. It slowly descended from the air and landed in front of a dilapidated Taoist temple. Chengzhang's legs were a little sore and when he came down from Muquan, he almost fell to the ground unsteadily. Fortunately, a pair of hands reached over and held him on his arm, and mixed him into the Taoist temple. After entering the Taoist temple, he realized that the person who was pulling him was a Taoist nun who was not old. Just as he was about to thank her, several people in the yard surrounded him and called "Master". Chengzhang looked at her straight, and suddenly fell to the ground and kneeled down, "Master, I have been entangled with evil diseases for many years. Life is worse than death. Please accept me as my disciple and save my life. Your kindness will be rewarded in the future."
The Nine Wise Girl smiled, "Treatment and saving people is the doctor's business. All I can do is to teach you to devote yourself to practicing and remove the demons of your heart. If the demons of your heart are removed, your heart will be calm and the body will be clean, and the disease will naturally be cured quickly."
Lin Chengzhang was tortured by the disease and was determined to die. Today he saw the skills of the Nine Wise Girls. He seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He kowtowed repeatedly, "What the master said is that the disciple will definitely follow the master's teachings in the future."
The Nine Virtuous Girl nodded with relief and asked Yuan Qing to take him in to change clothes. When Cheng Zhang changed his body and came out of Taoist robe, Mrs. Lin and Sun Qin came to Sansuguan panting. Seeing his appearance, they were so happy that they thanked the Nine Virtuous Girl. Before leaving, they kept two boxes of silver notes. No matter how Ren Yuanqing and the others refused to take them back.
Seeing that his mother had gone away, he asked respectfully, "Master, what should I do now?"
The Nine-Saving Girl did not answer him, her eyes fixed on two boxes of silver notes, and she had not removed it for a long time...
