Chapter 236: Planning to die together and become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks in the underworld?
"What are you putting in your mouth?"
Xi Lin's cold and gloomy voice sounded behind her, which startled Song Yanxi.
She subconsciously wanted to hide the thing, but it was too late.
A hand quickly reached out and took away the bowl of steamed vegetables in front of him.
Looking at the green and black dish in front of him, Xi Lin suddenly lost his appetite.
He said with disdain: "This ugly thing, even a dog wouldn't eat it, why are you sneaking around..."
"Hmm?" Xi Lin's nose twitched, and he couldn't help but hand the bowl forward, his eyes gradually brightening from the original disdain.
He blurted out: "What kind of delicacy is this? It smells so delicious!"
"Quick, give me the chopsticks. Given our relationship, it's not too much to give me a bite, right?"
Song Yanxi hid the chopsticks behind her back, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Xi Lin's eyes widened in disbelief, "I've been working so hard for so long, and you're not even willing to give me a single dish, let alone prepare a full banquet for me?"
His peach blossom eyes were full of accusations, "Song Yanxi, you are even more cruel than Mo Jinchuan when you are cruel. The cows in the village fields can eat grass and rest after plowing the fields!"
Seeing that he was so angry that the corners of his eyes were red, he was really wronged. Song Yanxi had to explain: "It's not that I'm stingy, but this dish is inedible."
Xi Lin snorted lightly, "If you can eat it, I can eat it too. Stop talking nonsense and give me the chopsticks quickly. I didn't wash my hands when I came here."
As he spoke, he tried to grab the chopsticks from her hand.
"The food is poisonous."
Song Yanxi only used four words to make Xi Lin change his mind instantly.
He looked at the plain-looking yet fragrant wild vegetables in the bowl and suddenly realized, "No wonder this ugly thing smells so good. It's actually poisonous and harmful to people."
He smacked his lips and said with some disappointment, "What a pity for such a delicious dish. I have never smelled such a fragrant dish before. It must taste good."
Suddenly, he thought of something and his expression became serious for a moment.
He stared at Song Yanxi with a serious look, and said without hesitation, "Stretch out your hand."
Perhaps because she was used to Xi Lin's nonchalant look, Song Yanxi was suddenly dazed for a moment when she saw him so serious.
When she came to her senses, she realized that her wrist had been handed over without her knowing.
Xi Lin stretched out three fingers and placed them on her pulse. His brows knitted together instantly, and he gritted his teeth in anger and said, "I think you are all crazy. He escaped from the city with injuries, and you tested the medicine on yourself.
What? Do you feel that we can't be together in life due to worldly constraints, so you plan to die together and become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks in the underworld? "
"You misunderstood..."
"How could Mr. Yan, such a wise man, raise such a stupid... unintelligent granddaughter like you!"
Xi Lin withdrew his hand with a dark face and said sarcastically, "If I had known that none of you wanted to live, I would have wandered the world and lived a carefree life. Why would I be so eager and risk my life to come here and meddle in this nonsense?"
Song Yanxi didn't say anything. He almost got mad at himself just by talking to himself.
"Good words can't persuade a dying ghost. Do whatever you want. I won't serve you anymore!"
Xi Lin threw down these words, flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Song Yanxi originally wanted to catch up with him to explain, but she felt very weak all over. She opened her mouth but before she could say anything, her eyes went dark and she fell to the ground.
Before she lost consciousness, she heard someone cursing in her ear: "I committed murder and arson in my previous life, and now I've met you two, my enemies. If you don't let me sit at the main table when we're doing business in the future, I'll even overturn your bed!"
*
When Song Yanxi opened her eyes again, it was already dark. The tent was quiet except for the sound of sparks from burning firewood.
Hearing someone whispering outside the tent, she quickly got out of bed, took the cloak hanging beside her and walked out.
"It's the middle of the night, why are you..." Xi Lin turned his head and saw Song Yanxi, who was wrapped up tightly with only a pair of eyes showing. He was instantly amused by anger.
He raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "It turns out that our Princess Yong'an is also afraid of catching a cold. I thought you were fearless."
Song Yanxi pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his words. She placed her hands at her sides, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you so much for saving me today, doctor. I will always remember your life-saving grace."
"I don't deserve it." Xi Lin's face suddenly became darker.
If there were other people present, they would definitely find it strange. What doctor would not want to hear words of gratitude from others?
But An Yi, who was standing by, knew it all too clearly.
It is true that the person who saved the man was Xi Lin, but it was not entirely Xi Lin.
Before Song Yanxi tried the medicine, she had prepared an antidote pill. If she hadn't wasted some time talking to him, she would have taken it herself.
In other words, not only did Xi Lin not save the person, he almost harmed the person because of his greed.
He felt so embarrassed when he heard the words "life-saving grace" that he couldn't accept it.
Thinking about the symptoms Song Yanxi had when she first took the medicine, Xi Lin glanced at her from the side. When he was discovered, he coughed lightly and asked, "Did you feel anything when you were poisoned?"
"At first I just felt weak and limp, with some dizziness but no nausea. Then I just felt light and fluttery, and then I don't remember anything."
"It's actually a hallucinogenic drug. No wonder you kept grinning like an idiot while you were asleep. I thought the needle went astray and you got pricked."
Xi Lin snorted lightly and said awkwardly, "You saved me once before, so we're barely even."
He caught a glimpse of An Yi's disapproving look from the corner of his eye, and he glared at him warningly, indicating that he'd better not open his mouth.
He knew whether the favor could be repaid, and if it could not be repaid, how to repay it.
Song Yanxi nodded thoughtfully and said, "It seems that this drug not only has a hallucinogenic effect, but can also suppress some pain."
Xi Lin rolled his eyes. "I'm using a silver needle, not a red tassel spear. How can it hurt you?"
Thinking of something, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Are you still testing the knife on yourself?"
Song Yanxi chuckled, "Divine Doctor Xi, you think I'm too stupid. Before I passed out, I hit my head on the corner of the table, but I didn't feel any pain at the time.
I think it's due to the effects of the medicine."
"I can't believe there are such miraculous plants in this border town. If it had been settled ten years earlier, I'm afraid the elders would have already recorded it."
"Now that Divine Doctor Xi has discovered it, it's a great honor to use it as medicine."
"you……"
Seeing that Song Yanxi looked serious and didn't look like she was joking at all, Xi Lin felt even more that he couldn't understand her.
Who in the world doesn’t love a good reputation?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the conflict he had with the man surnamed Zhuang in Huichun Hall a few days ago. If he hadn’t been so shameless as to bring up his own name, he might have been beaten to death by those people.
It is not easy for women to survive in this world nowadays, not to mention that she intends to divorce Lin Tingfeng. Even if her reputation is good now, she will be slandered and defamed by ignorant people once they divorce.
These reputations are undoubtedly the best support for her.
Divorce and remarry in the future, so as to shut some people up.
Before Xi Lin could express his doubts, Song Yanxi suddenly asked, "Is there going to be a battle tonight?"
