Chapter 58: Precarious situation, pressing forward step by step
Cheng Yishui's strength became weaker and weaker, and his eyes began to half open and half closed.
"Hold on, they'll be here soon!"
Shang Yuwan saw that he was about to faint and quickly shouted, "Cheng Yishui! Cheng Yishui!!"
“Click——”
Shang Yuwan and Cheng Yishui were surrounded by ruins submerged by water. Xiao Qingxu clearly heard a loosening sound. Looking closely, he saw a broken columnar pile sliding down from behind Shang Yuwan - the pile was about to pierce her heart!
The sound of rain covered up the sound of the loosening wooden stakes. Shang Yuwan was completely unaware of it and was still trying hard to wake up Cheng Yishui, whose consciousness was gradually fading.
No...no, no!
Xiao Qingxu was suddenly startled, and rushed forward, stretched out his arms and pushed Shang Yuwan away!
Shang Yuwan's body suddenly turned aside, narrowly avoiding the wooden stake. She was almost stabbed by the stake. She was surprised and turned her head suddenly, but she couldn't see any person.
...Did she just slip?
The sharp wooden thorn at the broken part of the wooden stake pierced into Xiao Qingxu's abdomen fiercely. The thorn penetrated his soft abdomen without blood or flesh, but Xiao Qingxu's face changed drastically and he vomited violently.
At this moment, an extremely deafening thunder suddenly erupted from the gloomy sky, as if the gods were angry.
On the other hand, the situation in Luzhou City became increasingly critical. Ji Suxian also wanted to guard Xiao Qingxu all the time, but there were too many things going on in Luzhou City, so she could only arrange many matters outside and help if she could, leaving Ju Gongcheng to guard the house to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to assassinate him.
“Puff!!”
Ju Gongcheng waited at the end of Xiao Qingxu's bed. After a while, Xiao Qingxu, who was still asleep, suddenly sat up and vomited a mouthful of black blood. Then blood began to flow out of his ears, nose and eyes.
He leaned against the bed and vomited a large pool of blood before completely passing out. Ju Gongcheng was shocked and took a big step forward to feel his pulse. He found that Xiao Qingxu was getting weaker and weaker. Ju Gongcheng's face turned pale in an instant, and he rushed out of the room and shouted at the top of his lungs:
“Ji Suxian!!!”
“?!”
Ji Suxian felt something was wrong when he heard the voice, and flew into the room to check Xiao Qingxu's pulse - it was in critical condition.
Her eyes turned red in an instant.
Ji Suxian laid Xiao Qingxu flat, took out a silver needle from the medicine box and inserted it into Xiao Qingxu's acupuncture points, piercing most of his body. "Go and call Shang Yuwan back, go quickly!"
"Mrs. Shang is not good at medicine, but she is still saving people at this time..." Shouldn't we call the deputy owner back to think of a solution, and rush to find Yao Lao back?
Ji Suxian turned his head away with his eyes bare: "If you keep talking, I'll kill you first! Hurry and bring the person back to me!"
Ju Gongcheng immediately ran out to look for someone.
At this time, Shang Yuwan and Twelve, who was carrying Cheng Yishui, were heading straight to where Xiao Qinggu was.
"Princess, where is Ji Suxian?"
When Xiao Qinggu saw Cheng Yishui's appearance, he was also worried: "She has returned to the City Lord's Mansion. You should go back and check it out as well. It seems that something happened to the owner of the building!"
Something happened to the host?!
Shang Yuwan and Twelve were both shocked. Without saying a word, they hurried to the City Lord's Mansion. On the way, they happened to meet Ju Gongcheng who was looking for someone. He felt like he had seen his savior.
"Master Shang!"
Ju Gongcheng glanced at Cheng Yishui, and Shang Yuwan explained, "He's temporarily unconscious. He has a head injury. I know some medical skills, but I'm not sure if he has brain damage. Where is Ji Suxian? Take us to find her!"
Ju Gongcheng did not dare to delay and took the two of them back to the City Lord's Mansion.
"What happened to the host?"
Ju Gongcheng was out of breath after running, "You will know it when you see it later!"
Ji Suxian was still giving acupuncture to Xiao Qingxu in the room, and asked people to bring him decoctions made with hundred-year-old ginseng and various precious medicinal materials. Seeing the blood flowing from his ears, nose, eyes and mouth gradually turn red, the bleeding became less, and the pulse under his fingertips gradually stabilized, he slowly felt relieved.
A tear fell from the corner of her eye, which she quickly wiped away.
Ji Suxian sniffed and rubbed her slightly red nose.
It's good if I can pull it back, it's good if I can pull it back... Just hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, Master will be back soon...
"Pah pah pah."
Ju Gongcheng knocked on the door vigorously: "Sister Su Xian, Master Shang is back! Brother Cheng is injured, come and take a look!"
Ji Suxian heard the noise outside, gently put back Xiao Qingxu's skinny hand, tucked in the quilt, helped him put on the mask that had been washed clean of blood, and then got up to open the door.
"Lay the man down, let me take a look."
The three of them could hear Ji Suxian's slightly hoarse voice, but none of them pointed it out.
Ji Suxian reached out to check Cheng Yishui's pulse, then gently lifted his head to check the wound.
"It's just a superficial wound. He must have subconsciously protected his head when he was hit. But there's some infection from soaking in water. Ask someone to...boil these herbs for half an hour, two cents for the first three, and one cent for the last five. Give it to him after drinking it for two days and lying down for two days. He'll be fine. Cheng Yishui is in good health and will be fine."
Ji Suxian gave instructions and asked the construction engineer to ask the guest to carry Cheng Yishui back to his room to recuperate, his eyes looking straight at Shang Yuwan.
Her gaze fell on the palms of her hands that were pierced by the spikes. "...You, come in with me."
Twelve noticed that Ji Suxian's attitude was a little off, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Shang Yuwan.
"Go and look for more people quickly. There are still many people missing. Be careful."
The Twelve Monks and Yu Wan didn't need to talk to each other; they could understand each other with just a glance.
Considering how important Shang Yuwan was to the OP, and thinking that Ji Suxian would not harm her life, Twelve left as he was told and continued to search for the refugees who had disappeared in the flood.
As soon as Shang Yuwan stepped into the room, Ji Suxian closed the door.
Shang Yuwan's gaze fell on Xiao Qingxu.
He looks like he's been vomiting blood... Has he lost some weight?
"You know a lot of things, right?"
Shang Yuwan turned his gaze towards Ji Suxian who was walking towards Xiao Qingxu, "What do you mean? What is this..."
Ji Suxian stretched out his leg to pull a stool over, sat down, looked at the stool not far away, and then looked at Shang Yuwan.
"What are you standing there for? Get a stool and sit over here." Ji Suxian's face no longer had the playful smile it used to have. He became even colder than before he recognized Shang Yuwan's true identity.
Shang Yuwan didn't understand, but did as he was told.
Ji Suxian used scissors to cut off the gauze soaked in rainwater on her hands, wiped off the blood with a handkerchief, opened the medicine box beside her, took out the medicine powder to apply the medicine, and then took out new gauze to wrap it up.
"All of you step back. No one is allowed to approach here."
A hesitant voice came from the darkness: "This..."
Ji Suxian said coldly: "Get lost."
After a few breaths, when all the guests in the dark had left, Ji Suxian spoke again.
"I heard that you learned everything for the sake of your family. Although you are not very good at anything except needlework, calligraphy, the eight elegances of women, and political strategy and martial arts, which are all things that women in Kyoto must learn, you still have a wide range of interests." Ji Suxian lifted a corner of the quilt.
Shang Yuwan's heart sank. "I don't understand what you are talking about. What family?"
Could it be that the news of her rebirth has been leaked? !
Ji Suxian gently lifted up Xiao Qingxu's hand and said, "Come, feel his pulse."
Shang Yuwan did not move.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. There are also guests in Baijia Tower who obey me alone." Ji Suxian's eyes turned completely cold, and he pressed on step by step.
"If you don't do as I say, Shang Mingqi's head will be delivered to you tomorrow."
Shang Yuwan's heartstrings tightened, "Do you know who I am?"
Ji Suxian's face was cold, "Touch it."
“…”
Shang Yuwan had no other choice. She could see that Ji Suxian's patience was almost exhausted.
Her fingers placed on Xiao Qingxu's wrist, and her eyes changed immediately.
“He, he…”
"He just came back from the brink of death. If I had been a little slower, just a little bit, he wouldn't have been able to come back."
Ji Suxian sneered, "Princess Qi, this is all thanks to you."
