Chapter 678 After my husband passed the imperial examination, I became his second wife (6)
When Lin Shichu thought that the man might be being chased by someone, he knew that the road was no longer safe and they had to speed up to get home.
So she ordered the coachman to speed up, and soon the carriage arrived at the place where the man had fainted. The man was so faint that he happened to fall in the middle of the road. If the carriage wanted to pass, it would either run over him or move him off the road.
No wonder the guards came to ask her how to deal with it. If the man fell on the side of the road and did not block the carriage from passing, the guards would probably have turned a blind eye to it. But he happened to fall in the middle of the road, so she had no choice but to ask Lin Shichu.
Lin Shichu got off the carriage, approached the fainted man, squatted down and wanted to check on him, but the guard quickly stopped him and said, "Miss, don't get too close. If this person has any disease besides the injury, it will be bad if it is passed on to you."
"It's okay. I know my limits." Lin Shichu waved his hand and asked the guards to leave.
The fainted man was lying face down on the ground, his face couldn't be seen at all, so Lin Shichu didn't know his age or appearance. But there was a pool of blood under him, and the blood had solidified. It was obvious that he had been unconscious for quite some time. If it weren't for the slight movement of his body showing that he was still alive, others might have thought it was a corpse.
Lin Shichu reached out and grasped the man's wrist, wanting to feel his pulse, but as soon as her hand touched the man's skin, he suddenly and swiftly grabbed her hand with his backhand. It seemed that he had not fainted at all, but he had no strength to hold on to Lin Shichu's pale and slender hand. He could only make this movement but couldn't hold on tightly. It was obvious that he was at the end of his strength. His reaction should be his body's memory.
Lin Shichu shook his hand off lightly, held his wrist again, and felt his pulse.
Sure enough, he is seriously injured, Lin Shichu thought to himself, and then ordered the guards: "Turn him over."
Several guards turned the man over, and Lin Shichu finally saw his face, but was surprised to find that his eyes were open. He had obviously woken up. His pair of dark eyes were full of vigilance, alertness and coldness, but the serious injuries on his body made his eyes seem fierce but weak.
"Get out..." the bluffing man said to Lin Shichu, his voice hoarse and his expression cold, with his other hand that could still move holding a dagger.
"You're blocking my way." Lin Shichu glanced at him and said lightly.
The seriously injured man's expression suddenly froze, and his body moved slightly. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to get up and make way to maintain his dignity, but he was too seriously injured and could not move his body at all, let alone stand up?
When Lin Shichu saw his futile efforts, he ordered his guards, "Move him to the side of the road."
The guards immediately stepped forward, and four of them lifted the man up and moved him to the grass by the roadside.
Lin Shichu saw embarrassment, anger, frustration and subtle panic in the man's eyes. She originally wanted to throw him to the side of the road and leave him alone, but when she saw his complicated look, she wanted to meddle in his affairs.
"Hey, do you need help?" Lin Shichu asked him with his head down.
"No...no need!" Although the man was seriously injured, his bones were very strong and he refused to lower his head to ask for help.
"Do you want to die here, exposed in the wilderness, or be eaten by wolves in the middle of the night?" Lin Shichu asked him. This man was too wary of people and refused to let anyone save him even when he was so badly injured.
Originally, Lin Shichu would not care about such a person who was seeking his own death, but this man was very handsome. Yes, even though his face was covered with blood, dirt and dust, one could still see his outstanding appearance.
Lin Shichu would feel a little bit sorry if someone with such a good-looking face died, but the other person clearly didn't want to be saved by her, and she didn't want to put her own stamp on someone else's cold butt.
Lin Shichu thought for a while and decided to show some sympathy. He said to the man, "Do you want me to save you or not?"
The man didn't answer at all and continued to look at her defensively.
Lin Shichu lost his patience immediately, threw a bottle of medicine to him, and said: "This medicine can stimulate your body's potential and allow you to temporarily regain your mobility. Find a safe place to spend the night. If you trust me, take it. If you don't, throw it away. Goodbye!"
After saying this, she really went back to her carriage. She had done her best, and this person could believe it or not.
The carriage left quickly, and the sound of the guards on horseback became increasingly distant. The man left on the ground struggled as hard as he could and finally picked up the bottle of medicine that Lin Shichu had thrown at him. After pouring out a pill, he sniffed it and only smelled a faint medicinal fragrance. He couldn't tell whether it was life-saving medicine or not.
But he was already so seriously injured that if he hadn't recovered his mobility before dark, he might really die, so the man just thought for a while and immediately swallowed the medicine Lin Shichu gave him. He was going to take this gamble.
"Miss, that man really doesn't know what's good for him. You wanted to save him, but he still wanted to take Qiao. He might even lose his life!" Qingxue said indignantly.
"That's his own life. If he doesn't want me to save him, then don't. It's not us who will die anyway." Lin Shichu said indifferently. She gave him a bottle of medicine and did some simple things. Whether the man could survive depended on himself.
It's just a pity to think that a man with such a good-looking face died. Lin Shichu was always particularly tolerant towards good-looking people.
"Uncle Liu, drive faster, we need to leave here quickly." Lin Shichu ordered the driver.
"Okay!" Uncle Liu immediately whipped the whip and urged the horse to gallop faster.
On the other side, after taking the medicine given by Lin Shichu, the man lay down for a while, and his body gradually recovered his strength and was able to move. After he recovered halfway, he finally stood up and slowly walked into the mountains.
His strength recovered faster and faster, and he became stronger and stronger. He used a dagger to cut off his cleaner undergarments and bandaged several of his more serious wounds.
He took one last look back at the road, then walked into the mountains without looking back.
Lin Shichu and her group finally returned to the Lin family half an hour later. It was already dark by then. Lin's father and mother were waiting at the door. When they saw her carriage finally returned, they breathed a sigh of relief and came over to greet her.
"You're finally back. I was so worried about you. It's all your father's fault for being so unreliable. He left you there alone. If anything happens to you, I will never forgive him!" Mother Lin looked at her daughter carefully. Seeing that she was really fine, she glared at Father Lin and said.
Father Lin also looked guilty: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you come back alone. It's so dangerous to walk at night. If anything happened to you, I would never be at peace. Fortunately, you came back safely..."
