Yingniang looked at Zhou Ping's serious expression and suddenly wanted to tease him.
"Oh, really? Yesterday someone told me that they only have brotherly and sister feelings for me. I don't have a brother, and I don't need this brotherly and sister feeling. You said that you feel the same way as I do, but I have never thought of regarding you as my brother." She raised her eyebrows and spoke with her mouth open.
He wasn't very happy when he said it yesterday.
Since he made her feel uncomfortable, she had to make him anxious today.
So that he will know what to say and what not to say in the future.
"No, Yingniang, I never wanted to be your brother." Zhou Ping frowned, he moved his lips and said, "Yingniang, I love you. Ever since you looked back in the sea of fire that day, I knew that I would fall into your hands in this life. The reason why I said yesterday that I only have brotherly love for you is that I want you to cut off your feelings for me so that you can live a stable life in the future."
He lowered his eyelids, was silent for a while, then pursed his lips and said, "I am now a despised mountain bandit. The war is not over yet, and the government has no time to take care of suppressing bandits. But when the world is at peace, our good days will come to an end. I can't bear you to follow me and live in fear every day. You have finally got the freedom you long for, and you can't go back to the dark days because of me. Yingniang, I am not good at speaking nice things, but you are the only woman that Zhou Ping loves. I can't let you get involved because of my selfishness. If you love someone, you should let her live a stable life without worrying..."
"Zhou Ping, I know you have good intentions, but have you discussed anything you have thought about and done with me?"
Yingniang bit her lip, raised her eyes and interrupted Zhou Ping's words.
Even if he didn't say it, she knew that everything he did was for her own good.
But that was just what he thought was good.
Not the good she wanted.
Since ancient times, everyone has to die.
Although she is a woman, she has never been afraid of death.
Zhou Ping and his team had no choice but to take this path.
On the first day they became bandits, Yingniang had already prepared for the worst.
Of course she knows the cycle of cause and effect.
There is a price to pay for anything a person does.
Even if they have never oppressed innocent people, they are bandits and gangsters, and that is their sin.
"I know, I am sorry for you."
Zhou Ping bit his lip and spoke.
He knew that he had no right to make any choice for Yingniang.
Yingniang shook her head upon hearing this, "No, you haven't let me down, you're only letting yourself down." She blinked, raised her head, looked into Zhou Ping's eyes, opened her mouth, and said, "Everything you did, even if you didn't discuss it with me, was done for my own good, although I don't want to appreciate it. But you're the one who's wronged. I've thought about what you said a long time ago, and I'm not afraid. Even if one day you're thrown into jail, I'm willing to go in with you. I don't want much, not fine clothes and delicious food, not silk and satin, I just hope you'll discuss everything with me, don't hide things from me, and don't make decisions for me under the guise of doing it for my own good."
Her eyes were firm.
She just wanted to tell him that she was never afraid of hardship.
She was not a porcelain doll and was not as delicate as he imagined.
Zhou Ping was moved when he heard Ying Niang's heartfelt words. He held her hands and said, "Ying Niang, I know that I was too self-righteous. When I saw you unconscious for unknown reasons yesterday, I regretted what I said to you. If I could have another chance to start over, I would definitely be brave this time."
He looked into Yingniang's eyes with sharp eyes.
It’s a shame to say that I, a tall and strong man, am not as brave as Yingniang, a woman.
"By the way, I woke up feeling much lighter. Was there a doctor? It was already late when I was about to leave yesterday. Do you think you could find a doctor down the mountain so late?" Ying Niang blinked, opened her mouth, and asked in confusion.
Although she didn't know why she fainted last night.
But before Yingniang fainted, she clearly felt unwell.
But now when I woke up, that feeling was gone.
She couldn't help feeling strange.
Zhou Ping shook his head when he heard this. "No, I didn't ask you to go down the mountain. It was too late yesterday, so I asked the brothers to go down the mountain as quickly as possible. When we got to the bottom of the mountain, the gates of the city were closed, and we couldn't find the doctor."
"That is..."
"It was Miss Li, the brother and sister you met in the teahouse. The girl you mentioned who was going to the mountain to collect herbs was Miss Li. She happened to be a doctor, and it was Miss Li who treated you."
Zhou Ping opened his lips and spoke to resolve Yingniang's doubts.
Yingniang was still a little confused when she heard this. She licked her lips and asked, "No, I didn't tell you that I knew that girl was a doctor. How did you know that?"
She blinked and looked up into Zhou Ping's eyes.
"I guess."
"Guessed?" Yingniang frowned, not quite believing it.
Zhou Ping curled his lips, chuckled, and then said: "Actually, it's not entirely a guess. I have deduced it."
"Um?"
"Ying Niang, didn't you say that Miss Li was going to the mountain to collect herbs?" Zhou Ping licked his lips. "Since Miss Li can go up the mountain to collect herbs, she must at least know some pharmacology. After all, the premise of collecting herbs is to know the herbs. I thought that since Miss Li knows pharmacology, she should also know some medical skills. At that critical moment last night, we couldn't go down the mountain and enter the city, let alone find a doctor. The situation was urgent, so I had someone go to the cell to bring Miss Li here with the mentality of giving it a try. Thanks to her yesterday, otherwise you would be in danger."
