It took Xie Ling half an hour to put out the thick smoke.
For frostbite, acupuncture and a warm environment are all that is needed, and the person will wake up in an incense stick of time.
But Thick Smoke had no will to survive, and she was already weak, so Xie Ling had to work very hard to pull her back from the brink of death.
She had to be thankful that winter had not yet arrived, otherwise even an immortal would not be able to save her.
The first thing Nongyan did when she woke up was to throw off the quilt and walk to the ground. She didn't even wear shoes or socks. She walked barefoot on the cold ground and hurriedly went to open the door.
A cold wind suddenly blew in, lifting up Xie Ling's hair that hung on her shoulders, and the ribbons on her bun fluttered.
Xie Ling pulled the thick smoke back, stared at her purple lips, and asked coldly: "Where are you going? I saved your life, and you have to ask my opinion if you want to die."
Thick smoke glanced at Xie Ling coldly, "Did I ask you to save me? You can save a dying person, but you can't stop a person who wants to die."
"Oh. I can't stop you from dying, but I can't guarantee what will happen to your relatives."
Xie Ling paused, a sneer on her lips.
"Why do you think that I can't do what Cen Rensheng can do? Or do you think that I, Sinan, am a good person? Hmm?"
"You! Did that little girl tell you that? You are such despicable and shameless underworld rats!"
His eyes turned red from the thick smoke and he pointed at Xie Ling and cursed.
"So what? Now you still have to beg a despicable and shameless person like me. Tell me, what did Cen Rensheng ask you to do?"
Nongyan bit her lips tightly, her beautiful eyes almost shed tears of blood, "He asked me to seduce the county magistrate, alienate you, and report Sinan's movements to him. If the plan fails, I will crash to death in front of the county magistrate's mansion. At that time, my family will come to collect my body and sue the state government for killing someone.
It was the same as what Xie Ling was thinking.
This Cen Rensheng is such a despicable and shameless villain.
I didn't know there was such a powerful and sinister person like a scorpion in Lingnan.
"I'm done, can I go now?"
Nongyan's eyes were still cold.
Xie Ling said calmly: "Take out the blade you hid in your hair."
Thick smoke's expression changed in an instant: "Girl, you're here, joking."
"I know what you have in mind. Don't make me say it again."
Xie Ling raised her voice, and the aura emanating from her frightened the thick smoke.
Nongyan took out the blade from her hair tremblingly and threw it on the ground, her face showing a bit of fear. "I didn't intend to assassinate you."
"I know you just want to kill yourself. But I advise you to give up on this idea. I'm not kidding when I say I can control your relatives."
Xie Ling turned around, pinched Nongyan's face, and looked at her facial features carefully.
She is cold and frail, and I feel pity for her. She is worthy of the title of "tolerating beauty".
"Your face is indeed quite pretty. If an ordinary man saw it, he would be unable to walk."
Xie Ling thought secretly in her heart that since ancient times, Xi Shi and Diao Chan were both successful examples of beauty traps. Such a beautiful face would definitely come in handy in the future.
Thick smoke has a strong temperament, and she likes it too.
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
It is not easy for a woman to live in troubled times, let alone to be born with such a beautiful face.
Beauty is a resource if it has protection; without it, it is a danger.
Xie Ling's eyes were full of undisguised scrutiny, but there was no staring or coveting, only admiration.
Nong Yan stared at Xie Ling's clear pupils, long eyelashes, and the faintly visible red mole at the end of her eye. Somehow her face suddenly became hot, as if it was on fire. "You, don't you have a husband? What do you want to do!?"
Xie Ling slightly widened her almond eyes and coughed lightly.
What is this kid thinking?
"I want to ask you, if I can protect you and your family, are you willing to do something for me? I want you to be willing."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Nongyan's face, and then he fell into deep thought.
As she grew older, this face brought her endless troubles.
My mother and brother were implicated by her to such an extent. If there was someone who could protect them...
There was a sound of dripping water outside the window and the strong wind was blowing against the window frame. It was raining.
Xie Ling was very patient. She turned around and sat on a chair beside him to give Nong Yan some time to think.
After all, if you agree to this, you will have to work hard for her in the future.
Of course, following her is a thousand times better than following that old man Cen Rensheng.
In the heavy rain, Thick Smoke hesitated and said, "Do something for you, what is it?"
"A beauty trap. It could also be something else. It depends on whether you have something else that can impress me besides your beauty."
Xie Ling curled her lips.
Nong Yan blinked, a little confused, "Beauty trap, you are more beautiful than me, why do you still need me."
"Do you think I'm suitable?"
Xie Ling threw a coquettish glance at Nong Yan stiffly, as if her eyes had a cramp, which made Nong Yan, who was in a heavy mood, couldn't help but chuckle.
This little episode also livened up the relationship between the two.
Nong Yan's tone was no longer so distant and defensive, and his voice deepened, "I do. And please fulfill your promise, young lady, save my mother and brother, and protect us."
Xie Ling nodded, "It's not difficult. In three days at most, your mother and brother will be standing in front of you safely."
Looking at the girl's determined expression, Thick Smoke was in a trance for a moment.
She had imagined too many backers in her life, perhaps a general, or a child of a noble family, and had many dreams of living a stable life with her family.
But he never thought that his backer would be a girl younger than him.
