Su Qingluan felt a burning pain on her face.
When she looked up, she saw that the person hitting her was none other than the little girl who had just called her a "lecher".
Su Qingluan was both angry and amused: she had gone to great lengths to save someone, but the other party didn't even say thank you and even tried to hit her. How could this be?
Of course, she wasn't completely mad yet. She knew the young man in her arms, who was still gasping for breath, was innocent, so she gently put him on the ground. Then she stood up and started to speak sarcastically to the little girl who had hit her:
"Oh, you young lady are really agile. Just now, your master fell to the ground, and I didn't see you being so agile. I was kind enough to help him, but you slapped me so cleanly. Today I have finally seen what it means to repay kindness with enmity~"
What the hell is going on?
If she hadn't used too much force just now and was now completely exhausted and even had difficulty standing, Su Qingluan would have thought that she should have slapped her back.
But I really don't have the strength.
The little girl was rebuked by Su Qingluan, her face turning pale and blue, and she glared at her angrily: "Then you can't... How can my master live in the future?!"
What a mess this is! How does it even involve the issue of being a human being?
Su Qingluan mocked angrily, "If I hadn't taken action like I did just now, perhaps your master would have truly lost his ability to be a human being. How can he be a human being if he's already become a ghost?"
I looked at the size of the osmanthus ball on the ground and guessed it was stuck in the trachea.
Su Qingluan also thought of this and felt a little scared: Even though it would have nothing to do with her if something happened to the young man, watching a living person die in front of her was still very shocking to her, who grew up in a peaceful modern society.
And if she had the ability but didn't save people, she would definitely regret it.
The little girl was ridiculed and her expression turned even worse: "How can you be so harsh? You..."
"Enough..." A weak and hoarse voice interrupted the little girl. It was the young man that Su Qingluan had just rescued.
"Don't be rude to your benefactor." The young man said, and stood up with the help of the servants, and bowed to Su Qingluan properly, "Thank you for saving me just now, benefactor. I am very grateful."
The action was performed in a graceful and elegant manner, yet very solemn, which made Su Qingluan feel a little embarrassed.
However, as a time traveler who had become a nun halfway through her life, she still had only a vague understanding of the etiquette of that era. She could only imitate the young man's movements and return the salute.
Of course, your inappropriate action was met with a cold stare from the little girl.
"Qingshuang, kneel down!" the young man shouted sternly.
The little girl trembled all over when she heard this. She didn't dare to say anything and immediately knelt down.
"Don't stand up without my permission!" the young man ordered coldly, then turned and bowed to Su Qingluan, saying, "I am disrespectful and offensive. I will punish you severely."
Su Qingluan felt a little embarrassed, the kind of embarrassment that parents feel when they have to teach their naughty child a lesson in front of an outsider like her - if you want to beat or punish him, can't you just do it behind closed doors? Why let her watch?
So she said vaguely and perfunctorily: "Oh, it's okay. I also offended her with my words. It doesn't matter whether she is severely punished or not." Anyway, she made the little girl named Qingshuang want to vomit three liters of snow. Su Qingluan said that although she didn't fight back, it was not too bad.
The young man smiled slightly and said, "My benefactor, you are truly magnanimous for not bothering with my servants."
Su Qingluan: ...
Dear young man, do you have any misunderstanding about the word "broad-minded"?
After a series of shocks, the servants, who had lost two and a half of their three souls, regained their souls one after another. They busied themselves serving tea and water to the young man and asking him about his well-being.
These people did not do anything confusing like the little girl Qingshuang just now. They were all very polite to Su Qingluan, their "savior".
However, Su Qingluan didn't know if it was her illusion. The way these servants looked at her seemed to hide a hint of imperceptible wariness and vigilance beneath the surface of gratitude.
Su Qingluan: ...Does she look particularly like a suspicious person?
At this moment, a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside - it was the waiter who had just gone to report the commotion in the wing room to Manager Liang. He finally "invited" the doctor from Huichuntang to come over by pulling and trotting.
Seeing that the young man was fine, the shopkeeper Liang, who had been blocked from entering, bowed and said, "I am Liang Youdao, the shopkeeper of Hongfulou. I heard that your distinguished guest was unwell, so I sent for a doctor."
He pointed to the old doctor beside him who was panting and had gray hair and a beard, and said to the inside with a smile: "The old doctor of Huichuntang is the best doctor here. Please see..."
The servants around the young man all advised him to let the doctor take his pulse first to make sure he was at ease.
The young man nodded hesitantly, then as if realizing something, he turned his head to look at Su Qingluan, his expression immediately becoming kind and gentle: "My benefactor, please wait a moment, so that I can express my gratitude."
This...is not necessary...
Su Qingluan wanted to refuse, but the young man was very determined.
Su Qingluan couldn't refuse, so she subconsciously turned around and looked at Manager Liang for help, but was met with a pleading look in return.
So, Su Qingluan sat aside and watched the whole process of the ancients' "look, listen, ask and feel".
I have to say, this is quite new for her as she has basically no experience in seeing Chinese medicine in modern times.
After taking the boy's pulse, examining his complexion, tongue, and eyelids, and asking him a few questions, the old doctor stroked his graying beard, surveyed the boy's attire, and said, "Young... Sir, aside from being a little frightened, you're fine. You'll just need a few tranquilizers."
Hmm? Su Qingluan felt that the old doctor had just stopped talking at a strange place.
Shopkeeper Liang, who was outside the door, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the doctor's words. He quickly bowed and said, "This consultation fee will be paid by our shop. All expenses for our distinguished guests are waived. This is just to calm you down."
Su Qingluan also understood why Manager Liang was so attentive even though the young man had swallowed the food himself - if a murder were to occur, it would have a significant impact on any businessman.
We were lucky to escape unharmed this time.
As for some minor expenses, just consider it as a way to avoid disaster.
Since the other party obviously wanted to talk to Su Qingluan alone, Manager Liang tactfully took his leave after having the patient pay the medical fee, leaving Su Qingluan alone in the private room.
Then the young man took something out of his arms and handed it to Su Qingluan.
