Chapter 17 She was hit by a fish
The fish jumped into the water, and a red hue spread in the water, and ripples spread out and grew bigger.
It turned out that the fish that Mingyue had forked was not deep enough, and only penetrated a little into the belly and tail. The fish broke free from the fork and flew towards her.
A crisp slap hit her forehead, carrying a hint of fish and earth. The fish was large and its tail swung vigorously, so it must have knocked her to the ground.
Shi Jianli raised her finger and touched her forehead. It felt a little painful. Water was still sliding down her forehead and hanging on her eyelashes. She wiped it off with her fingertips.
Ming Yuelin came back to his senses, dropped the harpoon, and hurried to help her. He looked at the red skin on her forehead with guilt and asked hurriedly: "Sister Li, does it hurt? I'm sorry!"
Fortunately, she was not hit in the eye, otherwise she would really be dead.
Shi Jianli shook her head, her thoughts changing as she spoke calmly, "It's nothing, I was just stunned by the slap. It was an accident, I don't blame you. Can you help me check for any injuries?"
The tail fin of a fish is very sharp and hard, so I am afraid of getting wounded. Some pains cannot be felt at first.
Mingyuelin pushed aside a few strands of hair that were stuck to her forehead due to water, and examined her carefully, with fear in her eyes.
There were footsteps approaching, and then a familiar voice sounded: "Miss Shi, are you okay?"
Mingzhao jumped to her side and squatted down, looking at her with some worry.
He had originally come on horseback to find Ming Zhouqing to go pick up his aunt and cousin together, but when he saw them playing here, he stopped for a while, thinking of waiting for his sister to stab him with the fork before calling them. He didn't expect something to happen so quickly.
Shi Jianli looked in the direction of the sound and met Mingzhao's eyes that were still full of concern.
"Sister Li, luckily there is no wound." Ming Yuelin, who was about to cry, breathed a sigh of relief.
A serious wound on the face may cause disfigurement.
When Shi Jianli heard this, she shook her head towards Mingzhao and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. If there's no wound, then it won't be a big deal."
"I will never go fishing again." Ming Yuelin's shoulders slumped.
Shi Jianli turned her head and said comfortingly, "We came out to play happily. This was just an accident. No one expected it."
"I'm not seriously injured, Sister Lin, don't worry too much. You can still catch fish in the future."
I can't leave a shadow on her. What if she feels guilty when she sees the fish in the future?
"Sister Li, you are so nice. I caused you to be hit by a fish, but you came back to comfort me." Ming Yuelin looked at her with red eyes.
"The stone is cold, second sister, help Miss Shi up." Mingzhao also reminded.
"Oh, yes!" Mingyuelin quickly helped her up.
When Shi Jianli stood up, she felt a little dizzy and couldn't concentrate on the people she looked at.
She blinked and followed Mingyuelin to the shore, but she staggered forward two steps.
Mingyuelin quickly reached out and hugged her.
Her arm was also pulled by someone. After she stood firm, she turned to look at the person who pulled her and said, "Thank you, Prince."
"I still have to send you back to the mansion to take a look. Bring more people with you when you go out to play in the future." Mingzhao restrained the gentleness on his face and looked at Xuanyun who was running over. "Go and call your third young master over. At the same time, ask someone to harness the carriage back to the mansion, and call the second young master as well."
"Yes, Prince!"
Shi Jianli carefully glanced at Ming Zhaohuan's expression. He shouldn't tell them about skipping classes, right?
Mingzhao also saw her like this and smiled a little: "I'm not angry. If I am angry, I will be angry at Ma Hugui."
Mingyuelin lowered her head in guilt.
Shi Jianli also lowered her head and said to Mingyuelin: "When my cousin comes over later, you..."
Never mind, it's embarrassing, she was indeed hit by a big fat fish that was wider than her face.
You must tell the truth when you see a doctor, otherwise it will be difficult to treat.
"What?"
Shi Jianli shook her head, "It's okay."
"Sister Li, are you dizzy?"
"Yes, and I feel a little nauseous." She looked up at the sky slightly.
Ming Yuelin put his arm around her shoulders and said, "It's so serious, will there be any problem?"
"I'll be fine after a while." Shi Jianli rested her chin on her shoulder and met Mingzhao's eyes. She was silent for a moment and asked, "Isn't the prince going to pick up my aunt from the Yuan family? My cousin will come and take me back home later."
"No hurry, my second brother hasn't come yet." Mingzhao shook his head. "Didn't I tell you to call me cousin this morning? Why are you calling me the prince now?"
The previous times I saw her, she was always as quiet as an orchid, but this is the first time I see her in such a mess.
Shi Jianli lowered her eyes, then looked at him again: "You call me Miss Shi, so naturally I have to call you Prince."
She called him cousin, but he called him politely, which made her seem presumptuous and proactive.
"Okay, it was my oversight." Mingzhao smiled. "I'm just used to calling you that. Please don't blame me, cousin Li."
Shi Jianli wanted to shake her head, but felt dizzy halfway through, so she nodded.
When the incident happened, Lanxing had already run over. Seeing that she was being embraced by Mingyuelin, Lanxing could only stand beside her and look at her with concern.
Seeing her leaning against her sister with a gloomy look, Mingzhao looked in the direction where Xuanyun left.
After leaning for a while, Shi Jianli felt better and stood up by herself with the help of Ming Yuelin's shoulders.
After the nausea passed, my forehead felt a burning pain.
Ming Yuelin hugged her back again, "Sister Li, please lean on me more and let me atone for my sins, otherwise I will feel guilty."
Shi Jianli helplessly said "hmm".
Soon, Ming Zhou and Cong Chong came running over, followed by Ming Zhou Qing.
He was still catching his breath when he saw Shi Jianli being hugged and her forehead flushed. He asked anxiously, "What happened? Who hit you?"
When Xuanyun ran over to find him, he pulled him and ran away, saying, "Sir, something bad has happened. My cousin is injured!"
Before Ming Zhouhe could ask what injury his cousin had suffered, he left Xuanyun and ran over.
Shi Jianli's face showed a bit of grievance and embarrassment, "It was the fish that hit me."
"Who?" Ming Zhou was surprised. He took two steps forward to look at her forehead. There was no wound, but there were some red bloodstains. The red spot was particularly abrupt on her fair face.
Ming Yuelin apologized, "I didn't spear the fish accurately. When I lifted it up, it broke free and flew over, hitting Sister Li with the tail."
"The fish was huge, wider than my palm, and it knocked Sister Li down to the ground."
Ming Zhouhe glanced at her sideways, then looked at Shi Jianli's expression, "You still need someone to hold you, are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you dizzy? Are you in pain?"
"Don't feel dizzy for now, it hurts a little. It's because my sister Lin said she felt bad for not hugging me." Shi Jianli pulled his sleeve, "It was an accident, cousin, don't blame her."
Ming Zhouhe breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, the carriage will be here soon to take you back to the mansion to see the palace doctor."
"Okay." Shi Jianli agreed obediently.
Ming Zhouqing poked Ming Yuelin's head and said, "You are the one who caused the trouble, but it is Cousin Li who has to suffer."
Mingyuelin was very obedient and did not refute.
Soon, the coachman drove the carriage over. Mingyuelin and Lanxing helped Shi Jianli get on. Mingzhouhe also climbed onto the carriage and followed them back to the mansion.
Ming Zhouqing looked at Ming Zhaohuan, who was staring at the carriage in a trance, and said, "Brother, didn't you say you were going to pick up my cousin and the others? It will be too late if we don't leave now."
