Chapter 19: Jin Yingzi's Righteous Dedication (1)

The village to which the detachment was going was about a mile from the disembarkation point. Under the leadership of Li Ruzhu, it didn't take long for the team members to arrive at this small mountain village located deep in the mountain col.

The village is small, with more than a dozen simple courtyards of different shapes nestled in the middle of a forest. The location of Li Ruzhu's cousin's house is on the east side of the village.

The arrival of the team made Li Ruzhu's cousin startled at first, and when she found her cousin Li Ruzhu who was coming towards her, the old man's face showed surprise, she held Li Ruzhu's hand affectionately and said, "It's Zhu'er, my cousin hasn't seen you for a few days." Come inside and rest! ”

"Hello, cousin!" With a crisp shout, a girl wearing a Korean blue short skirt walked out of the back room, the girl came to Li Ruzhu, held Li Ruzhu's hand, shook it happily and said: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are much more handsome than before." ”

"You little clever ghost, I haven't seen you for many years, and you've become a big girl, and you're better looking than when you were a child." Li Ruzhu affectionately scratched the girl's nose. The girl coquettishly made a naughty expression at Li Ruzhu.

"This is my cousin and cousin." Li Ruzhu introduced Luo Shiyin and other team members.

"Hello Armani!" Luo Shiyin greeted the old man. Xie Yuan was in charge of the translation.

"Oh...... Good. ...... they are? The old man was stunned for a moment, and then asked Li Ruzhu.

"Cousin, they are friends from Daming. This friend of mine is a little injured and wants to recuperate with you for a few days, do you think it's okay? ”

"Okay, ouch, why did this good boy hurt like this? Kid, get in the house and rest! The old man looked at Shi Lang's injury and readily agreed.

"Armani, I'm in trouble for you." Ye Ruliu said politely.

"Sister, I'll support him with you." The girl took the initiative to run over and help Shi Lang to the north room with Ye Ruliu. She actually spoke fluent Daming language in her mouth. Ye Ruliu couldn't help but glance at the girl in front of her in surprise.

"My cousin Jin Yingzi has specialized in learning the Ming language, so it will not be a problem for you to communicate in the future." Li Ruzhu saw Ye Ruliu's surprised expression and hurriedly explained.

"Hello, my name is Ye Ruliu. I'll ask you more about Korean in the future. After listening to Li Ruzhu's introduction, Ye Ruliu took the initiative to greet Jin Yingzi.

"I don't want to ask for advice, I also hope that my sister can introduce me to more things about Daming. It just so happened that the two of us sisters could be companions. Jin Yingzi looked at Ye Ruliu with happy eyes and said.

After entering the house and sitting down, Jin Yingzi quickly served tea and poured water for everyone.

After a brief greeting with Jin Yingzi's mother and daughter, Luo Shiyin explained some precautions about safety to Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu, and then got up to say goodbye and led the team to Yiju, where the king of Joseon was located.

The courtyard of Jin Yingzi's house is a small courtyard house, and the main house on the north side is usually inhabited by Jin Yingzi's mother, and Jin Yingzi lives in the east wing. Shi Lang was arranged to live in the West Wing to recuperate from his injuries. Ye Ruliu and Jin Yingzi live in the same room.

As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, Joseon had the Confucian doctrine of the Ming Dynasty and other teaching contents in its national education. Kim Young-ja was smart and clever from an early age, and when her father was alive, she was sent out of the mountains to receive a good education. She has a deep understanding of Chinese Confucian culture, and the influence of Confucian culture on her can be clearly felt from her speech and demeanor.

The arrival of the two Ming friends made Jin Yingzi very happy, and she kept busy before and after, and took care of the injured Shi Lang with Ye Ruliu. Somehow, she had a sense of déjà vu when she saw Ye Ruliu, and Ye Ruliu also hit it off at first sight for this Korean girl who was born with charming eyes and sexy red lips, and the two soon became good friends like sisters. During the day, Ye Ruliu and Jin Yingzi went to the riverside market to buy fresh whitebait that local fishermen had just caught from the Yalu River, and then went to the mountains south of the village to pick some delicious wild mushrooms to take home, and cooked delicious whitebait mushroom soup for Shi Lang. In their spare time, the two sat in front of Shi Lang's bed, and Kim Young-ja taught Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu simple Korean daily language:

"An Ning Hasayo (Korean)! Hello! ”

"Hello! Anning Hasayo (Korean)! ”

"Kamu Sakhamuda (Korean)! Thank you! ”

"Thank you! Kamu Sahamunida (Korean)! ”

Jin Yingzi said a word, and Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu followed suit. Over the course of a few days, Shi Lang and the others learned a lot of everyday North Korean language. Under the careful care of the two beauties, Shi Lang's injuries quickly improved, the wounds had basically healed, and he could go to the yard to move his hands and feet.

On this day, the sun was shining. Shi Lang wanted to go out for a walk. Jin Yingzi suggested that the three of them go to the mountain in the east of the village to pick fresh mushrooms together, so that Shi Lang could breathe the fresh air in the mountains. Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu happily agreed.

Every grass and tree in the mountains is full of vitality. Shi Lang walked on the grass-covered mountain road, stretching his hands and feet to his heart's content. Ye Ruliu and Jin Yingzi focused on looking for various fresh mushrooms in the mountains and forests beside the road.

At noon, the three of them set off to go home. When the three of them walked to the mountain temple at the mountain pass, a light rain suddenly fell. The three of them had to hide in the temple to avoid the rain.

It is a small, dilapidated stone temple with cobwebs and an unpleasant smell of mold. There is no statue of the whole small temple except for a clay statue of the snake god standing in the middle. The clay snake god was facing the temple door, with a bloody mouth, and a long snake letter stretched out diagonally, as if to swallow the sacrifice in front of him.

"Yingzi, how can there be a statue of a snake god enshrined in this mountain temple?" Ye Ruliu looked at the idol and asked puzzled.

"I don't know the specific reason, I heard that there is a statue of a mountain god enshrined in this temple. But later, there was a three-year drought in the vicinity. The nearby villagers did not know where they heard that the snake god could purify all living beings and rain for the villagers, so they replaced the statue of the mountain god in the temple with the statue of the snake god, and every time there was a major drought, the nearby villagers spontaneously organized themselves to worship the snake god in this temple. Jin Yingzi looked at the snake god statue and said.

"This place is desolate enough." Shi Lang swept the dust off the only stone bench in the temple, and the three of them sat down and waited for the rain outside to stop.

"yes, it's rarely frequented on weekdays." Jin Yingzi continued Shi Lang's words.

"Brother Shi Lang, how do you feel about your body?" Ye Ruliu asked.

"It should be fine. Thank you both for your good care. Shi Lang said gratefully.

"Sister, have you noticed that Brother Shi Lang is very similar to a big hero in the Three Kingdoms period." Jin Yingzi mischievously turned her face to Ye Ruliu on the right side of her body and glanced at Shi Lang on Ye Ruliu's right side with the afterglow of her eyes, and then said.

"Which big hero? Why didn't I see it? Ye Ruliu looked at Jin Yingzi kindly and asked.

"Changshan Zhao Zilong." Kim Young-ja looked serious.

"Oh, Yingzi, I don't dare to be." Shi Lang hurriedly said politely.

"I look like it. You see, Brother Shi Lang is dignified, like Sister Liu's heroic posture, I see, you two are really a natural pair. Kim Young-ja said with great interest.

"You little girl, why are you talking about me?" Ye Ruliu patted Jin Yingzi's shoulder with disgust.

"Oh, sister, look, let me say it, or your face will be red." Jin Yingzi did not give up.

"Dead girl, I don't think you're old, but you're smart." Although Ye Ruliu pretended to blame Jin Yingzi on her mouth, she was still very affected by what Jin Yingzi said.

"Look at it, admit it. Brother Shi Lang, my sister has admitted the relationship between the two of you, don't be bored, give a happy word. Jin Yingzi leaned out of her upper body, deliberately stretched her neck and stared at Shi Lang and said.

"Alright, Yingzi, don't make trouble. You're still young. Shi Lang deliberately did not answer Jin Yingzi directly.

"Everyone is sixteen years old, still young? I think you're embarrassed to say. Kim Young-ja pretended to be angry and pouted.

"But to be honest, your brother Shi Lang is my savior." Ye Ruliu saw Jin Yingzi staring at Shi Lang, and hurriedly relieved Shi Lang.

"Then Brother Shi Lang has to treat my sister even better." Jin Yingzi seemed to want to know Shi Lang's inner thoughts about Ye Ruliu.

"Alright, girl, the rain has stopped, it's time for us to go." Ye Ruliu heard that there was no rain outside, so she said to Jin Yingzi.

"Okay, let's go home and stew mushrooms." Jin Yingzi stood up and walked towards the temple gate in a hurry. But as soon as she reached the door, she screamed violently, and the basket used to hold the mushrooms in her hand fell to the ground, and she stood in the doorway.

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu hurriedly walked over. The sight before them surprised the two of them.
