Chapter 23 Should I be saved?
Li Shiyi wandered around the wasteland to look in the east and compare in the west. Even the drier he became, he found a lot of small branches and stuck them in the ground to mark them. A picture of the Yantian plan was sketched in my mind. Coming out of the field and standing back on the embankment to look at the land that he was about to lead to reclaim, he suddenly had the joy that the peasants had been assigned to the fields, and Li Shiyi felt that his smile at this moment must be the most simple and beautiful smile.
Li Shiyi patted the dirt on his hands with satisfaction, and planned to go back. I wonder if everyone will be so happy that they will cry when they eat the salt they made themselves. At this time, the sun has just set, and the sky is already a little gray, and it may rain tonight.
Suddenly, Li Shiyi heard a sound in the water behind him, and something seemed to float down upstream, being frantically snatched by the fish. Li Shiyi had a bad feeling, so his pupils dilated, and he stared intently at the object that was slowly floating down. Unconsciously he even used his spiritual power to improve his eyesight and ran upstream. When he was only a little more than ten meters away, he was shocked by the school of fish and the not-so-good light. It was actually a child, only bones were left at this time, and after five seconds, the bones were torn apart by the fish, and the fish with the bones in its mouth was chased by some other fish behind them, and the whole river was full of tiger fish scattered in all directions. Li Shiyi was stunned for a long time before he noticed that there seemed to be a figure in red clothes upstream, about a hundred meters away. Li Shiyi planned to run over and ask. Now that the light was obviously bad, the man must not have seen himself, not only was his skin dark, but the coarse cloth clothes on his body were also inconspicuous. What's more, if you really see yourself, why did this person start walking towards the river, is this suicide by jumping into the river?
When the man in red was very decisive, he walked to the water's edge and stood on a rock, and without a second of delay, he threw himself directly into the river. Li Shiyi was still worried about whether to save it, and when he saw that there was no one around, he remembered that not only did he not know how to swim, but that his body should be too light now, and he might be swept away by the current. Somehow, the fish noticed this and began to swim back frantically. Li Shiyi fought hard, this was the second time he had used all his strength since he arrived here. The sudden increase in strength and speed made it seem as if his reactions were temporarily left in place. I didn't expect it to save people again.
Li Shiyi didn't know how far he had jumped across the river, but he knew how hard it was to swim against the current. Because it was the first time to swim and no matter how much the river was about 40 meters wide, it was almost the flood season. When Li Shiyi grabbed the man in red who was already unconscious and swam towards the opposite shore, he was even blaming this guy in his mind for not being able to jump at another time. Even if I don't wait for my magic to do it, I can wait until I learn how to swim before jumping.
As soon as Li Shiyi dragged the red clothes ashore, a fish jumped up and bit the calf of the red clothes. Li Shiyi hurriedly got the fish down, and seeing that the blood on his leg was not stopping, he took out the handkerchief that Li Qiuye had prepared for himself to wipe his saliva and pressed it on the wound, and then tore off a sleeve and bandaged her. Looking at the results of this bandage, Li Shiyi felt that his skills were getting better and better, much better than when he bandaged Captain Tiger. But it's a little strange, why does this man seem to be dead, motionless. It shouldn't take more than three minutes to be rescued from diving, and when I save someone, I follow the standard procedures of underwater lifesaving. The face of the person who fell into the water was exposed to the water for the first time, and I still felt like I was breathing. What the hell is going on, Li Shiyi began to check this woman.
First of all, this is a petite and cute woman with a relatively small body type, who should be less than twenty years old, and she is very good-looking. The red satin dress showed that she should be quite rich. There seemed to be no injuries on his body except for the wound from the fish bite, and fortunately there was still a faint breathing. Li Shiyi tried hard to recall: first aid knowledge, flattening, untying the neckline, checking the mouth and nose, and artificial respiration. That's all there should be, but why don't you wake up? The first kiss that came to this world was gone, and he didn't hesitate at all, so he woke up with some face. Just when Li Shiyi was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks and really couldn't figure it out, he habitually wanted to touch his lips with his right index finger, and then remembered that this finger had just picked the woman's mouth when he checked the woman's mouth and nose for blockages, so he quickly stopped touching his lips. Looking at his fingers, Li Shiyi remembered that he had just found some blue powder in the woman's mouth. Could it be that he took poison first and then jumped into the river? So decisive and decisive. Glancing at his hand again, Li Shiyi thought of a way, he couldn't let the person in front of him die, he wanted to try it.
He untied the woman's clothes completely, making it easier for his hands to touch the woman's chest and lower abdomen directly. Then he entered the state of perception, and this time he directly used the spiritual power he had just absorbed. It was not difficult to successfully sense the inside of this woman's body, but it was a little beyond his ability. The spiritual power he could use in his body was completely insufficient to force the toxin out of his body. There was no way, Li Shiyi directly took out the three spirit stones, and forced the woman to poison while absorbing the spiritual power. In the end, the woman and the water she had just drunk in the river divided the poison four or five times, and finally vomited it out.
Li Shiyi was sweating profusely, so he dressed the woman first as soon as possible. If you wake up, normal people should be misunderstood, such a beautiful woman and such an era, it's too late to marry home, but don't save people's lives and take away other people's things that are more important than life. But what Li Shiyi didn't know was that in fact, the woman woke up when she spit out the first mouthful of poison, but she didn't even want to open her eyes when she had completely given up on this world and her current life.
After dressing the girl and putting the spirit stone back into the abbot's object, Li Shiyi looked around a little anxiously. He remembered that many of the guards had warned him when they used to walk by the river that they should never cross the river without permission, for any reason. Unless the Great Elders of both sides agree, they can go to the other side through the drawbridge. Otherwise, it is a capital crime, and even if the great elder of one side crosses the river without permission, he must be treated equally. But now it's almost completely dark, and when there is no sunlight in this season, the whole body is still full of water, and this woman will definitely die if she is left alone. Just as Li Shiyi decided that it was important to save people no matter what, and just when he picked up the woman, many torches appeared on the embankments on both sides. And they all seem to know that they are coming here as much as they are here. Li Shiyi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly got into the water, and when he finally swam ashore, Captain Tiger arrived with the family of the Great Elder. Seeing Li Shiyi, who had just come out of the water, he didn't say anything. The Great Elder only said "Hurry home"! Then both sides began to walk straight back. Before leaving, Li Shiyi felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at him, from the other side. It was an old man with a white beard and a red face. He may be older than the oldest man on the guard, but he looks more energetic than the old man's face.
On the way back, Li Shiyi fell asleep on the back of Captain Tiger, and this time he slept directly for seven days. When he woke up in the evening, Li Qiuye was just about to come to feed, but when he pushed the door, he saw that Li Shiyi was awake.
"Brother Eleven, you finally woke up, this time it scared us to death"
"I'm fine, did I sleep for a long time this time?"
"Seven Days"
"Oh, has anything happened these days?" Li Shiyi didn't seem surprised, and asked calmly.
"The day after you fell asleep, the Great Elder of the Guardian Fang sent a message to you and your father. But you didn't wake up, so your father and the city lord went to the drawbridge. The other party said that you crossed the line without permission and had to feed you to the fish. Father only said that you are not awake, and you will talk about it when you wake up. ”
"Have you eaten?" Li Shiyi suddenly asked.
"Not yet, my father went to the city lord and hasn't come back yet." Li Qiuye just replied obediently
"Let's go, let's go and wait for them to come back for dinner." As he spoke, he took the bowl in Li Qiuye's hand and walked towards the hall.
It seemed that he knew that Li Shiyi had woken up, and the Great Elder, Captain Tiger, and the city lord would soon come. No one spoke at the dinner table, and it wasn't until after the meal that there were only a few of them left at the dinner table, that the Great Elder spoke slowly
"Tell me what's wrong."
"It's nothing, I ran into someone who fell into the water and rescued her from the shore."
"Who's that man?"
"I don't know, although I didn't wake up in the end, but it should be fine."
"What else?" The Great Elder looked at Li Shiyi's eyes in an accentuated tone
"She seems to have been poisoned, and I used the spirit stone to extract the spiritual energy to force the poison out for her." Speaking of this, Li Shiyi straightened his waist instead. He knew that he had committed two of the things he had said before: he must not cross the river, at least not within the walls of the guardian side, let alone be seen; Don't take out the spirit stone too close to the guardian. But in order to save people, he felt that he was right. Besides, except for breaking the so-called rules, he didn't hurt anyone.
"Do you think you did nothing wrong, do you think you are noble to save people?" The Great Elder finally showed his anger.
"The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, you know? We have been oppressed for more than 100 years, and we are lucky to be alive. Do you know what it's like to see your own people starved to death almost every day? I thought you were the last glimmer of hope for our faith, but you actually went to make me the first insurrectionist. Today you cross the river to save people, tomorrow they can cross the river and kill people! The Great Elder was a little out of breath with anger, and Captain Tiger walked behind him and patted him on the back.
The Great Elder glanced at Li Shiyi, who was a little unconvinced, and continued: "Eleven, that woman committed suicide, she was going to die by herself, and it has nothing to do with us. You don't even know who she is, you think you fished her up from the water and gave him luck to force poison. She's coming back to life? For those who want to die, it is the heart that dies first, and you save it for a while just to make her suffer for a while. Can you still live with her for the rest of your life? Also, do you know what she did before you saved her? She fed her baby to the fish, then took the poison herself and jumped into the river. ”
"Is that her child? Do you know what's going on? Li Shiyi was a little depressed, as if he had really done something wrong.
"I don't know, it's none of our business!" The Grand Elder was still angry.
"What do they want now? Kill me? If it's 'feeding the fish', then I'll fake my death." Anyway, the fish couldn't hurt me, so I floated downstream and left. Thank you very much for saving your life in the first place, it seems that I can't repay it for the time being. Li Shiyi didn't know that the problem would be so serious, and based on everyone's expressions and usual contacts, it might be much more than that. There may be something they didn't tell themselves.
Just when Li Shiyi felt that he was really still a loser, a crisp and loud slap of 'pop' remembered. It was Li Shiyi who was slapped hard by the Great Elder. Although it didn't hurt, it seemed to hit Li Shiyi's heart, and it was very uncomfortable.
"Useless thing, are you such a piece of waste?" The Great Elder's anger reached its peak, clutching his chest and panting and coughing. The city lord also hurriedly stepped forward, and together with Captain Tiger, he gave the Great Elder a good breath.
"I said you're wrong, you're wrong? We all say you're wrong, and you admit it? The people on the other side of the strait say that you are wrong, do you admit it? "The Great Elder looks like he hates iron but not steel.
Li Shiyi was silent and never spoke. He was reminiscing about the words of the Great Elder, seeing his own cowardice, and always trying to escape when he encountered things, just like why he had gone into the fog in the first place.
