Chapter 175 Mission 016
Just as Xiao Ying expected, although Jiang Li was a good Kung Fu fighter, his Kung Fu was the kind of fighting Kung Fu on the battlefield. The magical things like internal Kung Fu were not available in this ordinary ancient society.
So Jiang Li didn't notice his presence until the two of them approached a distance that Xiao Ying thought was very close.
After Jiang Li found that there were still people here, his heavy breathing and footsteps suddenly became much smaller, obviously deliberately suppressed.
Xiao Ying didn't care, but continued to pretend to be an ordinary farmer. He walked casually in the grass, but the direction he walked was not the direction where Jiang Li was, but as long as he continued to walk along the route he passed, he could still find Jiang Li's presence.
However, before Xiao Ying could "slowly" walk over, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Xiao Ying raised an arc at the corner of his lips, and then quickened his pace to the place where the sound came from.
Pushing aside the bushes, he saw a young man in a bloodstained brocade dress leaning against a tree and fainted. He quickly threw away the sickle in his hand and walked over, asking in a worried tone: "Young man? Wake up! Are you okay?"
As he asked, he reached out to feel the young man's breath, as if relieved: "Still alive." Then he began to search for herbs in his backpack, muttering as he searched, "Fortunately, I picked some herbs today, some for hemostasis, otherwise it would be really troublesome... Found it!"
He tore open the young man's clothes, mashed the hemostatic herbs in his hand and applied them on him. To be honest, it was sticky and disgusting.
After applying the hemostatic herbs, he avoided the young man's wounds close to the vital parts, carried the man on his back, and prepared to carry him down the mountain for treatment.
At this time, noticing the much more chaotic breathing of the man on his back, Xiao Ying showed a meaningful smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, this male protagonist is quite alert. He had been pretending to be unconscious before, and he really fell into a coma after being carried on his back. Jiang Li's disguise is actually quite good. There are no other flaws except for the too suppressed and calm breathing and the slightly faster heartbeat. If he really encounters someone with bad intentions, he will definitely be deceived and then killed. But how could these two small flaws be hidden from Xiao Yan? So he followed Jiang Li and acted a good show of being helpful.
Xiao Yan had planned to bring people home early. After all, his current identity is just an ordinary scholar. He is okay at reading. He is already knowledgeable to know hemostatic herbs. If he also knows medical skills, it would be very suspicious.
And he ruined the first encounter between the male and female protagonists, so he has to make up for it anyway.
In the original novel, the heroine was worried that bringing a man home would cause controversy, so she placed him in an abandoned cabin in the back mountain. It was a temporary place built by hunters in the village. Now there are no big prey in the back mountain, so the cabin has been abandoned and few people go there.
So the heroine had enough reasons to avoid the people in the village and spend time alone with the hero to cultivate feelings during his recovery.
Xiao Yan, a grown man, certainly couldn't be shy about anything. He took the man home and asked the doctor to take a look. As for the knife wound on Jiang Li's body, Xiao Yan directly guessed that the rich young master encountered a robbery bandit. This situation is not uncommon, so no one suspected it.
Shao's father and mother were happy to see Xiao Yan rescue a rich young man. In their opinion, the rich young man's clothes were good materials that they had never seen before, and he would definitely not be stingy in repaying his life-saving grace.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Although the Shao family is poor, the house is very big. It is an old house passed down from ancestors. It has no other advantages, but it occupies a large area.
Xiao Ying found a room near Su Ling's small room for Jiang Li to recuperate. As for servants, there were no servants. He didn't think Jiang Li, who wanted to hide his identity, would want someone to keep an eye on him when he was unconscious.
Jiang Li's injuries were not fatal, but it was mainly because he was busy escaping and did not treat his wounds properly, which led to excessive blood loss and coma. Therefore, after taking a few doses of medicine prescribed by the doctor, he woke up in a few days.
These days, Xiao Ying has been staying at home to study, and his consciousness has always been paying attention to Jiang Li. As soon as he felt that he woke up, he personally delivered medicine to him at noon on time.
Pushing open the door, Xiao Ying entered the room with medicine, walked towards Jiang Li, and smiled faintly: "Young Master, are you feeling better?" He handed the medicine in his hand over.
Jiang Li took the medicine bowl and smelled it. He initially determined that it was for blood supplement, so he drank it without hesitation.
Xiao Ying took the empty medicine bowl handed over by Jiang Li and said to him: "Your injuries are very serious. You should rest more. I won't disturb you." He came here mainly to show his savior's presence. After that, there was no need to stay and let a patient entertain him.
Jiang Li stopped Xiao Ying who was about to leave: "Sir, may I ask where this is..."
Xiao Ying looked back at him and said: "This is Shaojia Village. I found you fainted in the back mountain with blood all over your body when I was collecting herbs today, so I brought you home. Don't worry, it's very safe here. Shaojia Village is very close to the county town, and no bandits would dare to come."
After hearing this, Jiang Li was relieved and said to Xiao Ying: "Thank you for saving me, otherwise I would not only be robbed of my money by bandits, but also my life."
Seeing that he was injured by bandits as he expected, Xiao Ying couldn't help but curled his lips: "Sir, you don't have to be polite. You should have a good rest. I'm leaving first."
With a creak, the door was closed, blocking Jiang Li's sight from the room. Xiao Ying looked down at the empty medicine bowl in his hand, smiled faintly again, turned around and left.
Jiang Li's recovery process was very peaceful. Except for Xiao Ying who occasionally brought him medicine and chatted with him, no one disturbed him, including the servant who was responsible for bringing him medicine.
After his injury was almost healed enough to get out of bed, Jiang Li walked out of the door and looked at the beautiful scenery of spring outside with blue sky and white clouds. He felt that the chicken droppings of the hens raised by Shao's mother in the ordinary farmyard in front of him were much more pleasing to the eye.
Although the old house of the Shao family is large, it is not as exquisite as those of wealthy families, and naturally there is no special garden. However, those places that are neglected are also full of weeds and small clusters of shrubs, interspersed with many pink wild flowers, which are also wild and interesting.
Jiang Li just bathed in the warm sunshine and admired the unknown small wild flowers that grew tenaciously in the corners or along the walls.
<<<<<<<<<<<<
Walking along a path, Jiang Li suddenly raised his head and looked forward, only to see a clumsy figure slowly walking towards him.
When he came closer, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his face away and planned to leave. Because the person who came was actually a charming pregnant woman!
It was Su Ling who was forbidden to leave the Shao family!
At the beginning, when she was young, Xiao Ying could still allow Shao's mother to confine her, but when she got older, looking at the towering belly, Xiao Ying, who was in close contact with a pregnant woman for the first time, felt his heart trembling. Later, he thought that pregnant women seemed to need to move more during pregnancy, so as not to make the fetus too big and difficult to give birth, so he persuaded Shao's mother to change her confinement in the small room to a place near the small room, so that she could walk around every day and prevent Shao's mother from supplementing her too well and causing dystocia.
Su Ling wanted to escape, so of course she would not refuse Xiao Ying's kindness. It was just convenient for her to explore the nearby terrain and design an escape route.
Today, she was out for a stroll as usual, remembering the surrounding terrain and routes while strolling. I thought I would meet the Shao family or no one as usual, but I didn't expect to meet a stranger I had never seen before!
After Su Ling looked at Jiang Li, hope ignited in her heart. She could see that this stranger was definitely not from Shaojia Village, so how could there be such a noble young man with such a beautiful appearance in this rural area?
Su Ling, who regarded Jiang Li as a hope, saw that he was trying to avoid her, and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, saying anxiously: "Young master, please stay!"
Of course, Jiang Li would not really stay because of Su Ling's words, but seeing her hurriedly trying to catch up, he was really worried that she would fall and hurt the baby in her belly. After all, this is the home of his savior. This woman can appear here and is pregnant. She must have an unusual relationship with his savior. Of course, he can't just leave without her.
He stopped and looked at Su Ling, frowning slightly and said: "Madam, what is the important matter that you want to stay with me?"
Su Ling is still a smart woman. Of course, she will not open her heart to Jiang Li and ask for help directly when they meet for the first time. Instead, she will test his identity first: "Who is the young master in the Shao family? Why are you here?"
Jiang Li avoided answering: "Madam is not in good health, and I don't want to disturb you too much. Goodbye." After saying that, he hurried to the room where he lived.
This time Su Ling did not chase, but stood there and looked at Jiang Li's back with an indifferent expression, and began to calculate in her heart...
This strange young man who had never met before was obviously not an ordinary person, but he could live in the Shao family, so he should have some relationship with Shao Qingyun, but I don't know how deep this relationship is. If Shao Qingyun just wanted to curry favor with this young master, then she could act bolder. If the two of them had a good relationship, then asking him for help would be like alerting the enemy and wasting a good opportunity...
