Chapter 202: Wake Up
Xiao Jingchen endured the intense dizziness and the pain in every bone in his body, looked up at her, his eyes seemed to be unable to focus, and he said for several seconds: "It's you?" ”
Probably a little dehydrated, Xiao Jingchen's throat seemed to have been rubbed by coarse sandpaper, and his voice was too hoarse.
Lin Ruan looked at his extremely weak appearance and said, "How do you feel?" Would you like to sit down and rest for a while? ”
Xiao Jingchen really didn't feel very good, although he woke up now, but in fact, the poison in his body was not resolved, but was only temporarily suppressed.
The poison was so powerful that every bone in his body was hurting now, and his internal organs were like fire, like torture.
He didn't brace hard, he slid down the wall, and when he saw the cloth wrapped around his body, Xiao Jingchen's face turned a little dark.
He could feel his body wrapped under the cloths, untouched.
Thinking of a possibility, Xiao Jingchen's face became even more ugly.
Lin Ruan followed his gaze and slipped around him, and said very calmly: "Xiao Ye is seriously injured, there are many people outside searching for your whereabouts, in order not to attract the attention of those people, I have to make this decision, I hope Xiao Ye is not strange, let alone feel embarrassed, you can treat me as a doctor, there are no men and women in the eyes of doctors." ”
Xiao Jingchen's face darkened by two points.
Lin Ruan seemed to be unaware and said: "On the second night after I rescued you, a group of masked people came to my house to search, and Shenwu Mountain was also searched, but now there are no masked people in the mountain, it's hard to say." They also left two people to watch, but at the moment, the two people, one was seriously injured by me and was thrown in the hospital hall in Qingzhou City, and the other was bitten by a poisonous snake this morning. So Xiao Ye is safe for the time being, you can take this opportunity to leave here. ”
As he spoke, Lin Ruan took out the celadon bottle and handed it to Xiao Jingchen: "This is the antidote, the effect is not bad, you can take it and eat it on the road." ”
Now that this Xiao Ye has woken up, she naturally doesn't want to keep him at home anymore.
Otherwise, the masked men would have stared at her.
As long as this Xiao Ye is gone, she doesn't have to be careful everywhere, those masked people stare at her for a while, and if she doesn't gain anything, she will naturally leave.
Xiao Jingchen looked at the porcelain bottle without saying a word, and was a little surprised in his heart, the poison in the dark pavilion has always been domineering and tricky, even if they have not yet cracked the method of Jinyiwei, they did not expect that the medicine of a village girl would be suppressed.
"Where did you get this medicine?"
Lin Ruan didn't hide it, and honestly confessed: "This is what I specially went to Qingzhou City yesterday to buy, it is said that this medicine is added with fire Ganoderma lucidum and some other valuable medicinal materials, I originally held the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but I didn't expect it to be really effective." ”
Xiao Jingchen opened the porcelain bottle and smelled it, poured out a few grains without hesitation, and swallowed them in one gulp. "How long have I been injured?"
Lin Ruan calculated: "Plus today, it's the sixth day." ”
Xiao Jingchen put the porcelain bottle in his hand and played with it, "The poison of the Dark Pavilion, if there is no antidote, even if it is only a little stained, it will definitely die within a day." You bought this medicine yesterday, so how did I survive a few days ago? ”
Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Ye, is this suspecting that I have something to do with those masked people?" ”
Xiao Jingchen didn't speak, but his eyes were staring at Lin Ruan for a moment.
Lin Ruan smiled indifferently, picked up a white porcelain vase from the corner of the wall, and threw it in the air, "This is the county medical hall to buy, it is the Lang Zhong I invited last time someone in my store went to make trouble." This medicine is the same as the antidote that Lang Zhong prescribed to those troublemakers at that time. Originally, I didn't dare to expect this medicine to cure your poison, after all, those masked people looked at it at a glance, but I didn't expect that it would really work by mistake and not let you die of poison. ”
Xiao Jingchen looked at the two porcelain vases in his hand with half-lowered eyes, and said nothing, as if assessing the credibility of Lin Ruan's words.
Lin Ruan didn't care what he thought in his heart, anyway, everything she said was the truth, and he loved to believe it or not.
"Master Xiao, since you have woken up, please leave quickly. Your stay with me has had a great impact on me. ”
Xiao Jingchen glanced up at her: "I can't leave for the time being, I'm in this situation now, and there is only one way to die if I leave here, so I want to continue to stay here to recuperate until my injuries are healed." ”
Lin Ruan frowned: "Please understand the difficulties of us who are promoted to fight, what kind of identity those masked people are, Xiao Ye, you know better than me, if they know that I saved you, I am afraid that they will not hesitate to slaughter me with a knife." I saved your life, and I didn't dare to expect Xiao Ye to repay me, but I also asked Xiao Ye not to take revenge and put me in danger. ”
Lin Ruan was moved with affection and reason, hoping that this Xiao Ye could be merciful and leave quickly.
But who knew that he didn't move, and even said: "You also know my identity, I was chased and killed by those masked men, and it was also because I was involved in a big case, if I leave here and are caught by those masked men, guess I, will I confess you?" Those two people who are spying on you are broken in your hands, and guess what they will do to get revenge on you? ”
Lin Ruan's eyes narrowed: "Xiao Ye, are you threatening me?" ”
Xiao Jingchen said expressionlessly: "If you are willing to cooperate with me, this is not a threat." ”
After thinking about it, he said: "When this case can be successfully solved, I will definitely ask the Holy Lord for a reward for you, and I will not let you suffer." ”
Based on the previous contact, he could probably guess what kind of person Lin Ruan was.
Money and goods are in order, and it should be easier for her to accept it.
Lin Ruan was silent for a long time when he heard him say this, and finally had to nod: "Then please Xiao Ye must remember what he just said." ”
She has no right to refuse, he is a Jinyi guard, a representative of the imperial power, and she is not qualified to bargain with him at all.
He was willing to talk to her now, but only for the sake of her saving him.
And one more, even if she drove him away now, she tied herself to his boat the moment she saved him.
If this case is not solved, she will most likely be approached by those masked people.
So, she had no other choice.
Since he now promised that he would give her a credit after solving the case, why would she be unwilling, it was better than doing a day job.
Although the risk of leaving him to recuperate is high, the high risk represents the high reward.
What kind of high risk has she Lin Ruan not encountered?
Xiao Jingchen still had no expression on his face: "A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase." ”
Lin Ruan nodded, "Then may I ask if Xiao Ye has any other instructions?" ”
