Chapter 4 Xiao Yuanyan
The ginger soup the man gave her was particularly spicy. Jiang Yuyan drank two sips and choked and coughed, her face flushed red. However, the effect was very good. After a while, her body became hot and a thin layer of sweat appeared.
Jiang Yuyan looked at the man in front of her, and she felt a little guilty. According to the situation, it should be this man who called himself Xiao Yuanyan who rescued her from the mountain and took good care of her. And she has not expressed any gratitude until now, which is really rude.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao..."
She imitated the ancients' sayings, and seeing that the other person's expression was normal, she said, "My mind was confused just now, and you saved me. I didn't have time to thank you. I will definitely repay you one day."
Xiao Yuanyan held back his embarrassment and returned the greeting, "Miss, you don't have to be polite. Just stay here and recover from your injuries."
The girl spoke like a lark, very gently, different from all the women in the village. Her soft voice made people feel itchy in their hearts.
Xiao Yuanyan's face turned even redder when he saw the woman still wrapped in his clothes.
Jiang Yuyan noticed his gaze and lowered her head to see that she was wearing the man's outer robe. There was no peculiar smell, but rather a fragrance of grass and trees.
Jiang Yuyan was a modern person, so she was not embarrassed, but felt quite ambiguous. So she tried to ask him: "I want to take a shower and change clothes. I wonder if you can lend me a set of clothes?"
When Xiao Yuanyan heard her say that she wanted to take a bath, he was shocked and his heart beat faster.
"I don't have any women's clothes here. If you don't mind, I will go find two of my younger brother's clothes and you can wear them for now. In two days, I will accompany you to the county town to buy two suitable sets of clothes. As for bathing..." Xiao Yuanyan was a little embarrassed, "Why don't you wait until your injury is healed before bathing to avoid catching a cold." In fact, he used to bathe in the mountain stream in front of the house, and there was not even a bathtub at home.
"Okay, thank you!"
Jiang Yuyan had been exposed to the cold wind all night, and she became too sleepy to bear it while talking. Her head was dizzy, and she finally had a fever. She didn't even know when Xiao Yuanyan left.
"Girl, girl, wake up!"
Jiang Yuyan heard someone calling her in a daze, and she opened her eyes with difficulty. She saw Xiao Yuanyan holding a bowl of rice porridge in his hand, with a little sweat on his temples, and he looked quite worried.
"You have caught a cold, why don't you get up and have some porridge?"
Jiang Yuyan sat up straight on the edge of the bed and watched him place the things one by one on the low table beside the bed.
"I got you a set of my younger brother's clothes. He's about the same size as you, so you can just try them on. There's some warm ginger soup on the stove, so you have to drink some after you finish the porridge. I'm going out first!"
As if she had encountered a bizarre dream, Jiang Yuyan felt that everything was unreal. But the warm porridge in her hands reminded her all the time that she had indeed drifted into this strange world.
After calming down a little, Jiang Yuyan lowered her eyes and looked at the bowl in her hand, feeling a little touched. Xiao Yuanyan not only saved her but also ran around for her. She didn't know how he managed to gather all these things in such a short time. She hadn't eaten much since the banquet last night, and she was indeed a little hungry at the moment. So she drank the whole bowl of porridge in big mouthfuls.
Jiang Yuyan was still afraid of the ginger soup. How could a rich girl who was raised on bird's nest and ginseng soup endure such hardship? But now she had no choice. Medical treatment in ancient times was backward. If she didn't take care of herself, it would be difficult to survive. She pinched her nose and swallowed it mouthful by mouthful.
After Jiang Yuyan started sweating, she changed into the clothes given by Xiao Yuanyan and lay down again.
She buried herself in the quilt, thinking about things, about the cause and effect, about her own situation, and about the future.
Stroking the silver ring on her finger, Jiang Yuyan recalled the flash of red light on the ring before she traveled through time, and vaguely felt that this strange event might be related to her mother's relic. Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.
Sure enough, it was my mother who saved me when I was most helpless. This strange world might be the new life and opportunity that my mother gave me.
How can we not cherish ourselves? Otherwise, wouldn't we be sorry for our mothers who went through so much trouble to give birth to us?
Jiang Yuyan soon came to her senses and stopped sobbing. She had nothing to miss in the 21st century. Since God had given her this opportunity, she had to live well.
Xiao Yuanyan heard her crying for a long time, and his heart ached. When the crying stopped, he could no longer hold back and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Jiang Yuyan wiped her tears with the back of her hand, sat up, and faced the tall and long-legged man who walked into the room in two or three steps.
She was born into a wealthy family and was very good at judging people. Xiao Yuanyan had a clear and upright face and took care of her so carefully and politely without offending her at all. He must be a kind person. She was at least safe for the time being.
In the future, I will learn more about the laws of the Great Moon Kingdom, which have never appeared in history, and observe the lifestyle of the people. I will not make myself stand out and be tied up like a monster. Then I will find a way to make a living and live a comfortable life. This is also a kind of adventure.
Xiao Yuanyan found that the girl was looking at him without any concealment. His face, which was already embarrassed, became even hotter and he couldn't help but cough with his hands covering his lips.
"Girl, are you feeling better?"
Jiang Yuyan touched her forehead and found it was indeed not so hot anymore. She smiled politely, "Much better, thank you, sir!"
Xiao Yuanyan was dazzled by her bright and charming smile, and said "you're welcome" countless times in his heart. He didn't know how happy he was.
"Girl, I..."
"Jiang Yuyan, my name is Jiang Yuyan."
"Miss Jiang." Xiao Yuanyan's lips and tongue carefully polished these three words, spitting them out lightly and slowly. His heart was sweet, and his face also climbed up a light red like honey.
Jiang Yuyan noticed it when she woke up. Xiao Yuanyan didn't talk much. He was tall and strong, but he was very shy and blushed easily. This made Jiang Yuyan more and more surprised. She had never seen such a shy man in modern times. The previous sense of strangeness and alienation faded a little.
"I can't remember a lot of things..." Jiang Yuyan used a common excuse to talk about her past. "Can you tell me about your home, Qingxi Village, or Dayue Country?"
