Chapter 68. Cold poison
"Yan Lin Xuan! Yan Lin Xuan! The man's anxious roar finally cleared my mind a little, and the scene before my eyes was restored.
He held my face in a look of horror.
Seeing that I reacted, his face softened a little, but his tone was still anxious: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I ...... I was afraid of ......" The strong feeling of suffocation still tormented me, making me breathless, I inhaled desperately, but to no avail, and my body was shaking more and more.
"What are you afraid of?" He hugged me and stroked my back.
My breathing became harder and harder, and I tried to answer him, but I couldn't make a sound.
"Don't be afraid, with me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Don't be afraid...... Don't be afraid...... I'm here......" he repeated in my ear. "Don't be afraid...... I will always be there for you...... No one is going to do anything to you...... Don't be afraid, I'll be there for you no matter what happens...... I'll be with you always......"
He repeated the words over and over again, and I was surprisingly calm, but tears were silently falling down the corners of my eyes.
Feeling me calm down, he let go of me and cupped my face with both hands again, wiping away tears for me. "Don't cry." He looked into my eyes and said softly, "Look, isn't there anything to be afraid of?" ”
Suddenly, a wave of grievance welled up in my heart, and tears became more and more turbulent, but the fear in my heart had disappeared.
He continued to wipe my tears. "Don't cry, be good, don't cry." He coaxed softly.
I leaned over his shoulder and whispered, "I'm so tired." ”
I'm really tired, and since I came to this time and space, I haven't been careful and trembling about the people and things around me. And what makes me most tired is the person in front of me, I have love, resentment, and shame for him, such a complex feeling makes me ruthless to him, but I can't get close......
He sighed. "When you're tired, take a break. No matter how long you want to rest, I'll be waiting for you. ”
Although I am in a lot of mood swings at the moment, I am not completely out of my mind. "Ling Niankong, I'm not her...... You know I'm not her, but why do you do this to me? As I said, I'm tired, and I don't have the strength to deal with your calculations anymore. ”
His brows furrowed, as if he had something to say, but he held back, and said after a moment: "Didn't I say it?" When you are tired, you will rest, and I will wait for you. As he spoke, he pulled me to lie down. Close your eyes and sleep for a while. He closed his eyes first.
I didn't expect to lie down and really fall asleep. It's just that the wind is howling outside, and I can't sleep well.
Although the snow cave is made of snow stacks, the inside of the cave is much warmer than the outside. The ice that had been frozen on my clothes completely melted into water, soaking all the clothes and sticking to my body very uncomfortable, making me feel colder and colder, and my body shivered uncontrollably.
He felt my tremors and took me in his arms.
Strangely, however, the cold sensation grew stronger and stronger. At first, I could bear it, but gradually I only felt like I was immersed in ice water, as if the blood in my whole body had congealed into ice, and my internal organs were in pain, and the chill around me was like a steel needle piercing my bones and nailing into my bone marrow.
This feeling is obviously wrong, how can the ordinary cold be so bad? Before I could think of the answer, I lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I was numb, and the only thing I felt was a warm current emanating from my vest.
The warm current flowed from the vest to the limbs, melting the ice in my body inch by inch. I couldn't help but open my eyes at this strange feeling, but what caught my eye was a magnified handsome face.
His eyes were slightly closed, and his lips were a little pale. Suddenly I felt as if something was wrong, and when I looked down, my brain was suddenly congested. Where are all my clothes!?
However, I was shocked not only for this reason, but also because he was also a good person. Not only that, but he is still holding me tightly at the moment, skin to skin!
"Ling Niankong, you! ...... I said this in a tone that was supposed to be extremely angry, but because of extreme exhaustion, even the words I spoke were weak.
Hearing this, his eyelashes trembled, and there was no other reaction.
I'm completely furious, this bastard is taking advantage of people's danger!
I struggled. But he didn't struggle twice, but he hugged him tighter and couldn't move.
"Don't move." He opened his eyes and drank lowly. And there was a look of remorse on his face. "You...... The poison in your body has flare-up. ”
"Poison?" I was stunned, and then I remembered that when the emperor first appointed me as a medical officer, he was worried that I would get out of his control, so he asked Xiao Jifeng to bring me poison. Do the math, today is the day of the poison at the end of the month.
I smiled wryly. "I see......"
Ling Niankong's face was ugly. "I brought the antidote with me on this trip, but I didn't expect you to be hijacked, and I didn't bring the antidote with me......"
"You don't have to explain." Noticing that the heat flow behind me was still continuing, I guessed that he was urging the inner breath to keep me warm. "Is it cold poison?"
"Yes."
"No wonder that chill is so unusual." I moved and removed my back from under his palm. "You don't have to." My tone was a little cold. "Didn't you decide to poison me in the first place just to make me suffer all this? Why would you bother with this? What's more, this poison is not lethal. ”
He ignored my words and put his palm on again. "The cold poison doesn't need to be forced out by internal force, and you will fall into cold disease in the future."
I looked at the clothes under me, and understood why he had put their clothes down: they had just dug a hole in the snow, and both of them couldn't help but sweat, and as soon as the sweat came out, it formed ice on the clothes. When I entered the snow cave, it warmed up, and the ice on my clothes melted, and the water vapor soaked through my clothes, and if I didn't take them off, it would be even colder.
On a rational level, I understood his actions, but my heart was still extremely resistant, so I struggled. "You let me go."
But I didn't want him not only not to let go of me, but to hold me tightly in his arms.
"I said, don't move!" He was a little angry.
I didn't listen to him and continued to struggle. "You let go of ......" The words were not finished, "Ling Niankong, you!?" ……”
"Don't make a sound!" He labored.
I immediately shut up and didn't dare to move, afraid that he would not be able to resist and really eat me.
The cave fell silent, except for the slightly suppressed sound of his breathing.
But I have to admit that the man is really warm and warm, and he is holding him like this, and he gradually sweats a little.
It took a long time for his breathing to calm down, but he still held me. With the lesson of Fang Cai, I didn't dare to move.
"What's the deal with the injury on your back?" He whispered.
"Yes...... It was accidentally rolled down the hillside on the day of the assassination...... "Actually, those were just skin injuries, and after so many days, the hard scabs of many injuries had fallen off, but I didn't expect to be found by him."
He was silent for a long time before he said again: "It's still early before dawn, let's sleep for a while." When tomorrow dawns, I have something to say to you. ”
"What can't you say now?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow. Now you have a good rest. ”
He'd never said anything like that, what was he trying to say?
******
The early morning sun was streaming in through the vents, and I raised my hand to cover my eyes. Ling Niankong was no longer in the snow cave, and I was covered with his coat.
Slowly sat up, put on my battered clothes, climbed out of the snow cave, and suddenly opened up in front of me. It's a sunny day, so it looks like I'm going to be able to get out of here today.
"Up?" Ling Niankong walked towards me with a faint smile, carrying a burden in his hand. said it was a burden, but it was actually a large piece of fabric torn from the hem of his clothes. The cloth was wet, and it was clearly wrapped in something.
Noticing my gaze, he threw it on the ground, and the baggage immediately dispersed.
I looked down. "Fish?!" I was pleasantly surprised.
"Well, I'll be able to eat it later." Seeing my surprise, his smile was even stronger.
I rolled my eyes and said, "I'll take care of the fish." ”
"Okay, then I'll go make a fire." With that, he turned to look for wood.
There are four fish in total, but they are not big, two for each person, and they should be able to eat enough.
Of the four fish, two are slightly larger and two are slightly smaller. I cleaned up the four fish, skewered them with branches, and just as he had a fire on his side, I took them and roasted them.
Seeing that it was almost roasted, I handed him the two larger fish. "You are a man who eats a lot, and the big one is for you." He smiled slightly, didn't shirk, and took it.
After eating the fish and extinguishing the fire, he wanted to leave.
"Wait." I glanced at him inquiringly. "Can you accompany me into the snow cave again?"
"What's wrong?"
"My silver needle has fallen inside." I casually made up a reason, and I didn't care if he believed it or not.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you." His tone was light.
"You...... Come in with me. It's not like you don't know that I'm afraid of places like that. "I'm a little worried about what will happen if he still won't go in with me.
"Okay." He responded, leading the way to the cave. I followed.
When I entered, he was already sitting cross-legged in the innermost part of the cave.
"I don't see any silver needles." He looked me in the eye, his tone still flat.
I chuckled. "You can't see it, because the silver needle is on me." His expression didn't change in the slightest.
"You know I'm lying to you, why did you come in?"
"Because this is the first time you've asked me to do something for you." He was still looking at me for a moment.
I suddenly felt ironic. This was indeed the first time I had asked him, but I was ......
I avoided his gaze. "Aren't you afraid that I'm going to hurt you?"
"You won't." He said this without hesitation.
"Really? Won't I? I smile. Now try to move your hands and feet. ”
He frowned when he heard this, as if he had just noticed the abnormality of his body. "You!? You poisoned me? ”
I didn't answer and asked, "Is it because you can't use half of your strength with your hands and feet?" This feeling of powerlessness will gradually spread throughout your body, and eventually you may have to struggle to speak. Suddenly I remembered something, and I continued, "Oh, but don't worry, this medicine is not deadly. In three hours, the effect of the medicine will wear off. At that time, there is still an hour before the sun sets, and with the strength of your feet, you will be able to go down the mountain smoothly. ”
"What do you want to do?" He was at a loss.
"Can't you see that?" I approached him, smiled and whispered, "I'm going to leave you." ”
