Chapter 463 Young Master, Blame Jiang Pangya if you must!
With a creak, the door was hurriedly opened by Afu.
A pungent musty smell wafted out from inside the door, causing Jiang Nuanzhi to frown. When she saw the scene inside the room, she was also shocked.
The next second, a pig-like scream came from the side: "Young Master! Young Master! What's wrong with you! Young Master!"
Before them lay Xie Liangchen, sprawled beside the fire pit at the foot of the stove, his hands still reaching forward as if to pull himself up, but he had already fainted. His face was flushed. The fire in the pit had set a corner of his robe ablaze.
"Young Master, why are you so foolish? Please don't leave me behind!"
"Young Master, hang in there! The quiz is coming up soon, and we're about to turn things around!"
Afu shook Xie Liangchen desperately, trying to wake him up, making constant noises.
"Shut up!" Jiang Nuanzhi's head throbbed with pain. She stomped out the sparks that had gotten on Xie Liangchen's robe, then frowned and roared at Afu's pale face, "Hurry up and carry him back inside. Do you expect me to carry him?"
Afu let out a blank "Ah," and then tried to pull Xie Liangchen's arm. It took him a while to finally pull him up.
Jiang Nuanzhi kept shaking her head. At this rate, she would be tortured to death even if she didn't die.
She noticed the marks on the ground where his robe had come undone, and knew he had tried to go out but hadn't opened the door, so he tried to put out the fire.
Jiang Nuan kicked the door open, then immediately opened the window for ventilation. She frowned and looked at Afu, saying, "You, remember this: if the coal inside hasn't finished burning, you can't close the door or windows. People who don't know better will think you're trying to murder your young master!"
"I...I forgot." Afu looked terrified, clearly having heard about the coal incident. He wiped away tears and frantically pushed Xie Liangchen, crying, "Young Master, are you alright? Wake up! Don't scare me! Could I have really suffocated from burning coal? Jiang Pangya, come check on our young master!"
"Where's Chun Tao? Why are you all alone?" Jiang Nuanzhi asked, glancing at A Fu while taking his pulse.
Afu sniffed: "Chuntao went to town to sell embroidery today. We don't have enough money, so we have to help out. I really didn't mean it, but you can't tell the young master."
Trust me, I'm really afraid someone will take advantage of the situation. All our belongings are inside the house. What if someone comes in?
Zhang San was there, but after he pulled the young master out, he got wet and went back to change. I'm worried, but I can't let the family's money go missing, otherwise we won't have any money to treat the young master. You're becoming increasingly desperate; I'm afraid you won't be able to treat the young master if I don't give you money.”
Jiang Nuanzhi: "..."
Then, she gave him a thumbs up: "You're amazing. If even one person could have come in, or if you had just left the door open, your young master wouldn't have been suffocating like this."
Jiang Nuanzhi was too lazy to pay attention to Afu for a moment, and leaned over to take a closer look at Xie Liangchen.
His usually fair skin was now completely red, but his lips were still bluish, and he was trembling all over.
The skin was burning hot to the touch. He touched his forehead and exclaimed, "So hot?"
"You, take off his outer garment first. Why haven't you taken off these wet clothes? Are you afraid he'll get better?"
Afu immediately came over and unbuttoned the clothes, muttering, "I was in a hurry, wasn't I? I forgot."
Jiang Nuanzhi was speechless for a moment, too lazy to argue with him, and continued to examine Xie Liangchen's eyelids.
"Can he swim? How long did it take him to be pulled out of the ice hole?"
After asking this question, Jiang Nuanzhi frowned and looked over, only to meet Afu's probing gaze.
"What's wrong with you? You don't even remember that the young master is most afraid of water? When the young master was young, he fell into the water while playing in a boat with others, and ever since then he has been unable to stand the water. Even sitting on a boat makes him extremely uncomfortable. This is something that everyone who serves the young master knows."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Nuanzhi with a hint of suspicion in his expression.
I feel like this person has become a stranger to me, and I can't recognize her at all. It's like she doesn't look like the Jiang Pangya I used to know, but her features are still distinct and similar.
"What are you looking at? Did I say I didn't know? As a doctor, I ask routine questions, and you answer what I ask. Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Oh." Afu shrank back after being scolded: "I was also gathering firewood when I turned around and saw that the young master was gone. When I went there, I saw him struggling in the ice hole. He had caught a cold and couldn't speak. I don't know how long he had been there. But Brother Zhang San pulled the young master out in no time, and I helped him too."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
He then shook his head and sighed, then leaned over Xie Liangchen's chest and lungs to listen carefully.
In his hazy state, Xie Liangchen felt a burning pain in his chest, and his eyelids were incredibly heavy, as if he were surrounded by a sea of fire, which was unbearable. Fortunately, there was a cool touch on his chest, and he wanted to open his eyes to take a look, but he couldn't do it no matter what.
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned deeply: "He choked on water, and there's still wastewater. We need to perform artificial respiration to remove it."
"What is artificial respiration?" Afu's eyes widened as he looked over curiously.
Jiang Nuanzhi took a deep breath, glanced at Xie Liangchen, then at Afu, and gritted her teeth as she said to Afu, "Come up here, kneel beside him, and do as I show you."
Afu was taken aback: "Huh?"
Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes deepened: "Do you want to save your young master?"
"Yes, I do!"
"Then do as I say."
Afu hesitated for a moment, but eventually took off his shoes and climbed onto the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).
Following Jiang Nuanzhi's instructions, they knelt beside the young master.
Jiang Nuanzhi's voice was exceptionally calm: "Now, pinch Xie Liangchen's nose, lift his palate, yes, open his mouth, and then take a breath, right now, and blow it into his mouth."
Afu was studying well at first, his head halfway down, when he suddenly stopped, his little eyes filled with disbelief: "Huh? What did you say?"
Jiang Nuanzhi squinted: "Is it that hard to understand?... He'll die if you don't blow on him soon!"
Ah Fu, now thin and somewhat harsh, was filled with conflict: "No, is this reasonable? The young master will kill me. I really can't do it. Why don't you...you do it? At least you're a woman."
"Bullshit! Dream on!" Jiang Nuanzhi gritted her teeth: "Hurry up, if you can't handle it, I'm leaving now. Let him die. Be prepared to carry this sin on your family and descendants for the rest of your life in the Great Wilderness."
"No...no!" Ah Fu cried out anxiously, gritting his teeth, "Young Master, I'm sorry, if you want to blame someone, blame Jiang Pangya! I was forced into this!"
Then, she lowered her head, hugged Xie Liangchen's face, and blew a strong breath on it.
