Chapter 38 Chapter 38 I am afraid that you will take advantage of me...
No matter how hysterically Hanyu questioned him, Ajiang refused to offer an explanation. He waited for her to calm down, then told her, "Everything I did was for our future. Please believe me."
Looking at the man she once thought about day and night, Hanyu had no other choice. From the bloody wedding night in the palace in her previous life to their reunion today, they had experienced the test of life and death. The feelings between the two lives made her choose to believe in him again.
The love-hate entanglement of her previous life has plagued her all her life. Now she is really tired and has no time to care about the grievances with other people.
Reliving this life again, she rushed to avenge A Jiang and herself, but gradually found that there were some things she could no longer understand, and she could not distinguish the so-called true and false, the real and the fake.
Before she found A Jiang, she always felt worried. Now that she knew A Jiang was still alive, she could finally let go of her worries.
But now A Jiang seems to be different from before. He is no longer the simple amnesiac man by the cold river, but has become a scheming man.
What was he planning? What was he trying to achieve? Jiang refused to reveal a single word to her.
The spider brought the unconscious Yin Jinglong back to Miao Village and to his previous owner's residence. The wound on his chest continued to bleed. If the bleeding was not stopped in time, he might not survive the night.
She rummaged through boxes and drawers looking for gold medicine and gauze, and carefully treated his wounds.
When the spider's hand just touched Yin Jinglong's chest, although he did not open his eyes, his palm suddenly clenched the spider's hand, as if he didn't want anyone to touch him.
"Your Majesty, it's me. Can I apply the medicine to you?"
He neither opened his eyes nor made a sound, and did not look like he was awake, but the strength in his hands was quite strong, perhaps an instinctive reaction of self-protection. The spider had no choice but to pry open its fingers one by one.
Unlike the spider mark wound on Hanyu's chest, his wound was too deep, and the muscles and bones were visible. If it was just a simple application of medicine, it would probably be difficult to heal, and he had to find a doctor to sew it up.
The spider was considered an unlucky person by the villagers because she was born with evil insects. She was not welcome in the Miao village. If she was asked to go find a doctor, she would probably be driven out before she even entered the door.
So she took out the messenger spider and sent a letter to her master, informing him of Yin Jinglong's situation. She thought that her master and the prince were brothers after all, so he should not stand by and watch him die, right?
At this time, Yin Jingheng was changing the gauze on the wound on his right arm, and the gray messenger spider sent by the spider landed steadily on his shoulder.
He took off the gold foil on the spider's back and read it, and learned that Yin Jinglong was in critical condition. He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to save him. Yin Jingheng gave his jade pendant to the spider and asked her to take the jade pendant to find an old man in Miao Village for help.
The old man's name was Lai Rong, a famous Miao doctor in the Miao village in southern Xinjiang. However, he was not a Miao. Instead, he and his family fled from the Central Plains to southern Xinjiang when he was young.
He saw the jade pendant in the spider's hand and asked in surprise, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"
"An acquaintance asked me to come to Lai Lao for help."
"Is this acquaintance from the Central Plains?"
The spider nodded. She vaguely guessed that the reason why her master asked her to find Lai Rong might be because they were both from Central Plains.
Lai Rong accepted the jade pendant and followed the spider to its owner's residence. Seeing that the injured Yin Jinglong was dressed differently from the Miao people, he asked, "Is he also from the Central Plains? What is his relationship with the owner of this jade pendant?"
He recognized that the patterns and ornaments on Yin Jinglong's clothes were not found on ordinary people. This person must be as noble as the owner of the jade pendant.
"Mr. Lai, please save the people first! I will tell you the details later."
Lai Rong lifted up Yin Jinglong's shirt. The deep wound that exposed the flesh and bones was shocking. Even though he had been practicing medicine for over thirty years, he couldn't help but sigh, "How could the injury be so severe?"
Seeing him sighing and twirling his whiskers, the spider asked, "What's going on? Is there still hope?"
Lai Lao nodded and said, "I am willing to try, but even if I save him, he will probably be disabled."
"Don't worry about anything else, just rescue him first. I want to thank you on behalf of that acquaintance."
Lai Rong picked up a box woven from bamboo and rattan, took out a needle knife from it, lit a kerosene lamp, and rolled the needle knife back and forth on the flame.
"Go get me a basin of cold water quickly."
The spider obediently went outside to find a well to fetch water. Not long after she left, Yin Jinglong woke up once.
He watched a strange old man sharpening a knife and threading a needle, and instinctively became alert and asked who he was.
Lai Rong was surprised: "You? You're awake? Then you'll have to endure the pain when I sew you up later!"
"Who are you? Why did you save me?"
"Oh! It's not me who wants to save you. It's that girl who just came to me with the jade pendant and begged me to save you."
"What jade pendant?"
Lai Rong handed him the dark blue dragon jade pendant and said, "Isn't this..."
This jade pendant and the one he has on him are actually a pair. Their father gave one to each of them when they were born. He still has the one on him, so the one in Lai Lao's hand must be his elder brother's.
He suddenly sat up, grabbed Lai Rong's sleeve, and demanded sternly, "Where did you get this jade pendant? Where is the owner of the jade pendant? Take me to him right now!"
Lai Rong was shocked by him and the needle knife in his hand fell to the ground. At this time, the spider happened to come back with a bucket of water. Seeing the scene in front of her, she immediately stepped forward and pushed Yin Jinglong away.
"Your Highness, please calm down. Mr. Lai is an experienced Miao doctor in this Miao village. I finally found him to treat your wound. Please don't hurt him!"
"It's you again, you witch? Cough cough cough cough~" Yin Jinglong couldn't help feeling short of breath after getting angry.
The spider stepped forward to support him, but he ruthlessly pushed her away: "You have no business caring about my life or death! Where's Hanyu? You promised to help me save her, but where is she now?"
"You're in danger of dying yourself, yet you're still thinking about her? I really don't understand what's so good about her that you two brothers are willing to sacrifice for her."
The jealous spider kicked over the well water she had just brought. She snatched the jade pendant from Lai Rong's hand and carefully kept it away.
"This is my master's personal property. He never gives it away easily, but this time, in order to save you, he didn't hesitate to give it away. If Your Majesty doesn't want to be saved, I will take it back!"
Yin Jinglong heard her mention "master" again. Since this Panlong jade pendant belonged to her master, could her master be the long-lost national general Yin Jingheng?
He recalled the unexpected appearance of the spider when he came to southern Xinjiang in search of the person who made the poison. Now thinking about it, maybe it was not an accident. Maybe the spider had a purpose when it approached him from the beginning.
He questioned the spider, "Why did your 'master' save me? Is he trying to use me again?"
"I believe Your Highness has already guessed the master's identity. Don't you know whether he truly wants to save you?"
Yin Jinglong laughed at her for being too arrogant. How long had she followed Yin Jingheng? Could she understand the grudge between the two brothers in their two lifetimes?
"Well, since he is willing to hand over a personal item like the jade pendant just to save my brother, then I naturally cannot let him down."
After saying that, he lay down obediently and ordered Lai Rong to start quickly.
Lai Rong picked up the needle knife on the ground with trembling hands and asked cautiously: "The suture may be a little painful. Do you need me to give you some medicine to relieve the pain?"
He pointed to the linen-wrapped Ma Fei San in the bamboo box and explained, "This is a medicine we doctors often keep on hand, often used to relieve pain in trauma patients. However, this medicine not only numbs the pain but also temporarily causes unconsciousness. But don't worry, you'll be awake in less than half a day, and there won't be any sequelae. What do you think? Do you want to try it?"
"No need! I'm afraid you'll take advantage of me and move my body, so just sew it up!"
Yin Jinglong took the white cloth from the pillow and bit it, closing his eyes and enduring the pain that was like a piercing pain in his heart.
Lai Rong's technique was delicate and gentle, but his movements were slow. He straightened the thread after each stitch and passed it through fire every three stitches. The stinging sensation of the needle tip piercing his skin made him tremble all over.
"I've already said that the pain of sewing is no less than the pain of having your heart cut out. Since you've chosen to endure it, then don't move. I'm dizzy and I'm afraid I'll sew it wrong."
Yin Jinglong bit the white cloth in his mouth and couldn't speak. He stared at Lai Rong with his eyes like sharp swords. He cursed him in his heart: You damn old man, if you can't sew it well, I will take your life!
Lai Rong summoned the spider and handed him the wet handkerchief soaked in cold water to wipe the blood. The moment the cold handkerchief touched his skin, Yin Jinglong's body couldn't stop shaking.
Seeing this, the spider asked, "Why doesn't Mr. Lai use warm water? This well water is in a cold place, which is not good for wound healing!"
"You're not an old Miao doctor, so how do you understand the use of this cold water? Although warm water can warm the body and won't cause such a big irritation to him, it has the effect of activating blood circulation, which is not conducive to stopping the bleeding of the wound!"
Lai Rong pointed to the scar on Yin Jinglong's chest that was as long as his index finger and showed it to her. He had already sutured almost half of it, and the sutured part was no longer bleeding, but tiny blood beads were still coming out of the unsutured part.
Gently cover the bleeding area with a cool gauze handkerchief dipped in well water, and the bleeding will be reduced in a short while.
"You see, this is why I insisted you bring me a basin of cold water."
The spider couldn't help but admire him and didn't dare to question him anymore. It just stood aside and was ready to help at any time.
After all the wounds were sutured, Yin Jinglong, lying on the bed, could not bear the excruciating pain and fell asleep again.
Lai Rong carefully bandaged his wound before wiping the blood off his hands. He jokingly said, "This young man just likes to show off. He clearly can't bear it but he insists on enduring it. Now he's fainted from the pain again, and I have to wake him up again."
He said something troublesome, sighed, and took out the silver needle to prick the acupuncture points on Yin Jinglong's body.
The spider asked curiously, "Mr. Lai, what is the use of your little silver needle?"
"His meridians were damaged by the poisonous insect. As I told you before, even if he returns, he will be left with a disability. I gave him acupuncture to see if I could open up his meridians and help his legs and feet recover."
As he inserted the needles, he looked at the scar on Yin Jinglong's right arm. "This... this hand is disabled from an old injury. It looks quite old. There's nothing I can do."
