Chapter 21: Jin Yingzi's Righteous Dedication (3)
Jin Yingzi lay on Shi Lang's chest, hoping to use her cool body to lower Shi Lang's body temperature, so as to delay the spread of snake venom as much as possible and buy time to save Shi Lang.
The male body of Shi Lang under him was burning like a coal. Jin Yingzi could clearly feel Shi Lang's powerful heartbeat. Lying on Shi Lang's chest, which was heaving violently due to rapid breathing, Jin Yingzi felt as if she was lying on a boat that kept rising and falling in the huge waves, and she was a little overwhelmed and had to hug the hull of the boat tightly. Slowly, she began to adjust to the undulating rhythm of the hull, and she pressed her face to it. In an instant, she felt like she was organically fused with the hull.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a loud knock on the door outside.
Ye Ruliu rushed back. When she ran into the yard sweating profusely, she found that the door of the room where Shi Lang lived was closed. She was puzzled at first, and then an ominous premonition came to her heart: "Could it be that Brother Shi Lang is ......?"
"Miss Ye, Yingzi is inside." Kim Young-ja's mother, who was in the upper room, heard a knock on the door outside and hurriedly walked out.
"Why is the door locked? What happened to Brother Shi Lang? Ye Ruliu couldn't understand Jin Yingzi's mother's words, and pointed to the locked door and asked. But she immediately realized that the other party couldn't understand her Da Ming language.
Ye Ruliu looked at Jin Yingzi's mother's anxious expression and gestures eager to explain, and her heart became more and more restless, and she kicked the door open.
The scene in front of him made Ye Ruliu almost unsteady on his feet.
"Jin Yingzi, ...... you" Looking at Jin Yingzi who got off Shi Lang naked, Ye Ruliu suddenly became angry.
With the help of that guide, Ye Ruliu quickly arrived at Longyuan Temple. The abbot of the temple Huijing was a learned person who was familiar with the Ming language, and after listening to Ye Ruliu's brief introduction to Shi Lang's poisoning process, he immediately took out the antidote from the cabinet and handed it to Ye Ruliu. Ye Ruliu immediately flew back after thanking her, but the rugged mountain road still affected her speed.
Kim Young-ja got dressed and stood in front of the bed.
"You come out for me!" A nameless anger ignited from Ye Ruliu's heart, but she didn't want to wake up Shi Lang, so she tried to restrain her anger and said to Jin Yingzi.
Jin Yingzi glanced back at Shi Lang, who was still unconscious, and walked out the door.
In the courtyard, there were only three people, Jin Yingzi, mother and daughter, and Ye Ruliu. Lao Langzhong has long since left.
"Jin Yingzi, I want to listen carefully to how you explain what you did!" Ye Ruliu glared angrily at Jin Yingzi in front of her.
"Sister, I don't know if I should ask for your forgiveness, but I don't regret doing this." Jin Yingzi stabilized her emotions a little and said slowly to Ye Ruliu.
"Forgiveness? Say to yourself, should I forgive you! If you Kim Young-ja saw other women get involved with your beloved, can you forgive her? Ye Ruliu glared at Jin Yingzi hatefully.
Jin Yingzi didn't know how to answer for a while. She didn't dare to look directly at Ye Ruliu, slowly lowered her head and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Sister, I don't want to defend myself. At this time, if I say that Brother Shi Lang and I have done nothing, I don't think you will believe it at all. ”
"Jin Yingzi, I thought you were a simple little girl, but I didn't expect you to ...... Do something like that! Ye Ruliu glared at Jin Yingzi angrily.
"I ......"
"Say, I want to hear your explanation. If you can't explain it, believe it or not, I'll kill you? Ye Ruliu looked at Jin Yingzi's spitting appearance, and became more and more angry, she pulled out the deadly rose thorn on her body and pressed it against Jin Yingzi's throat.
"Miss Ye, Yingzi is also out of kindness, she did that just now to save Shi Lang's life......" Jin Yingzi's mother hurriedly stepped forward to intercede, and she told Ye Ruliu everything that happened in the yard after Ye Ruliu left, from beginning to end. Although Ye Ruliu didn't understand Jin Yingzi's mother's words, she guessed from the old man's anxious expression and body language that there might be a reason for this.
Ye Ruliu tried to calm herself, she put away her weapon, and then asked Jin Yingzi, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Sister, after you left just now, Brother Shi Lang has been suffering from a high fever and is unconscious. Uncle Langzhong in the village said to use ...... This method can lower his body temperature and slow down the spread of snake venom. Seeing that you were not returning for a long time, the little sister was anxious for a while, so she was desperate to ...... Did. Jin Yingzi looked at Ye Ruliu's eyes and said calmly.
"Is that true?"
"Brother Shi Lang is my savior. I saw that he had been unconscious, and I was very anxious. As long as I can save Brother Shi Lang's life, I am unequivocal even if I am allowed to die. At that time, I heard Uncle Lang Zhong say that, and I decided to do it almost without any hesitation. ”
"Yingzi, how can you do such a stupid thing?" Ye Ruliu looked at Jin Yingzi, very upset.
"Hurry up and save Brother Shi Lang." Jin Yingzi glanced back at the West Wing and said.
Ye Ruliu only remembered the antidote in her pocket at this time, she asked Jin Yingzi's mother to take a small bowl, pour the antidote into the bowl, and melt it with warm water.
Ye Ruliu walked into the house with a bowl.
Jin Yingzi hesitated, but she still didn't dare to follow Ye Ruliu into Shi Lang's room, she and her mother stood in the courtyard, anxiously waiting for Shi Lang to wake up.
Shi Lang, who was lying on the bed, still had a high fever and was in a coma. Ye Ruliu carefully poured the antidote into Shi Lang's mouth little by little with a small spoon.
After feeding Shi Lang the medicine, Ye Ruliu sat quietly on the edge of the bed, looking at Shi Lang who had not yet woken up, with a lot of thoughts: Jin Yingzi's behavior did cause a certain degree of harm to herself, but she was also out of kindness to save people. For a girl who is only sixteen years old, she can't do this without considerable courage.
Ye Ruliu, whose emotions gradually stabilized, slowly forgave Jin Yingzi intellectually, and she suddenly felt that Jin Yingzi had a very cute stupidity.
"I'm ...... What's wrong? Shi Lang finally woke up.
"Brother Shi Lang, you've woken up!" Seeing Shi Lang wake up, Ye Ruliu suddenly forgot all the unpleasant things, she stood up and poured a glass of water and brought it to Shi Lang, "Come, drink some water." ”
"I ...... How could I be? Shi Lang wanted to get up and sit up, but found himself naked in the quilt. He seemed to recall what had just happened, and looked at Ye Ruliu with panic in his eyes and said, "Ruliu, did I ...... you just now?"
"What do you think, Brother Shi Lang. Just now, you had a high fever that didn't go away, and it was the old man in the village who scrubbed your body. You must have been hallucinating. Come, get dressed, drink some water, and then lie down and rest. Don't be cranky. Ye Ruliu put Shi Lang's clothes on the bed, then got up and walked out of the door.
Shi Lang was saved.
Early the next morning, Shi Lang, who had recovered, came to the courtyard to move his hands and feet, and before he finished one of his punches, he heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard gate. Shi Lang retracted his figure and rushed over to open the courtyard door. Outside the door stood a handsome young man, who, after confirming Shi Lang's identity, introduced himself as a civil official of the Joseon court who had just arrived from Uiju, and had come to deliver letters and guide Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu. The young civil servant handed a secret letter to Shi Lang. Shi Lang took the secret letter, and when he saw that it was a special letter for Jinyiwei, he opened it and watched it. On the letter is the handwriting of the commander Luo Shiyin. Shi Lang learned from the letter that the detachment had rushed to Pyongyang. In the letter, Luo Shiyin instructed Shi Lang that if his body recovered, he could hurry to the Jinguang Temple on the outskirts of Pyongyang to meet him.
After Ye Ruliu learned the news of the team's rush to Pyongyang from Shi Lang's mouth, he decided to leave immediately with Shi Lang. On the one hand, Shi Lang's body is no longer in serious trouble, and he can rush to fight the team; On the other hand, although she forgave Kim Young-ja intellectually, the two were still slightly embarrassed when they met.
After breakfast, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu expressed their gratitude to Jin Yingzi's mother and daughter, and then left with the guide, preparing to rush to Jinguang Temple.
Jin Yingzi sent Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu to the main road outside the village.
"Sister, I really didn't do anything to Brother Shi Lang to be sorry for you." Jin Yingzi lay on Ye Ruliu's shoulder and whispered with tears.
Should I have done that? In hindsight, Jin Yingzi was a little unsure. She knew that the reason why she took the initiative to do that, in addition to the main reason that she wanted to save Brother Shi Lang, the sprout of love from her girl's heart was also another reason that prompted her to do this.
"Forget it, Yingzi, don't think about it so much. You're also well-intentioned. The most important thing is that everyone can live well. Sister has forgiven you and won't blame you. Brother Shi Lang and I will always remember your little sister. Years of experience in the rivers and lakes have made Ye Ruliu develop a character that she can afford to let go, and she has been freed from all kinds of unpleasantness that just happened in a short period of time.
"If you say goodbye today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again. I hope you and Brother Shi Lang can do well. ”
"Yingzi, you should take care of yourself. If we have the chance, we may meet again. Please come back. ”
"What are you two muttering?" Shi Lang didn't hear what Ye Ruliu and Jin Yingzi said clearly, and asked curiously. It seems that he has no idea what has happened.
"Confidentiality." Ye Ruliu let go of Jin Yingzi and said with a smile to Shi Lang.
Ye Ruliu didn't want Shi Lang to know everything that happened yesterday, because he knew Shi Lang's character, and once he let Shi Lang know all this, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life, to her, to Jin Yingzi.
"Yingzi, thank you for your careful care during this time!" Shi Lang came to Jin Yingzi to thank him.
"I didn't ...... What the...... Seeing that you are healthy and healthy, I ...... My sister and I were relieved. Jin Yingzi changed her previous liveliness and lowered her head and said.
In Shi Lang's eyes, Jin Yingzi was like his sister, he felt a little funny when he saw Jin Yingzi twisting, he raised his hand and patted Jin Yingzi's shoulder gently, and said, "You little girl, why do you seem to have changed into a different person?" ”
Shi Lang's hand just slapped Jin Yingzi's shoulder, Jin Yingzi trembled like an electric shock, and dodged away, "Brother Shi Lang, I'm ...... It's because I see you and my sister about to leave, and I feel uncomfortable. Jin Yingzi felt that her evasive behavior was a little rude, and hurriedly found an excuse.
"Yes, Brother Shi Lang. Yingzi was reluctant to let us go. Ye Ruliu understood Jin Yingzi's complicated feelings at this time.
"Sister, if the war ends in the future, I hope you and Brother Shi Lang will be guests at my house again. Good no good? Jin Yingzi realized that it was not appropriate to let her inner feelings affect everyone's emotions too much on this occasion, so she quickly adjusted her emotions, hugged Ye Ruliu's arm with both hands, and returned to a lively and lovely expression.
"Okay, Yingzi. Sister promised you for Brother Shi Lang. You'll need to get a good table of good food then. You and my sister will get drunk and rest. Good no good? ”
"Good. You'll have to stay at my house for a few more days. ”
"No problem. Alright, Yingzi. Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell. Brother Shi Lang and I have to hurry. Please come back. ”
"Sister, Brother Shi Lang. Take care all the way. ”
"Take care." Shi Lang waved his hand to Jin Yingzi, and then strode towards the outside of the village with Ye Ruliu and the guide.
