Chapter 45: Nobleman "Well, Manman, come here."...
"Have you finished applying it?" Yin Zhiyi asked.
"Um."
This medicine only has a simple anti-inflammatory effect. After applying it, Yin Zhiyi tore her skirt into several pieces of cloth and tied a bow tightly on the wound.
Yan Shiman's eyes fell on the white bow and his pupils moved slightly. This was the second time.
Yin Zhiyi always felt that this man's eyes were a bit scary. She didn't know if it was a mentality problem. Ever since the system told her last time that Yan Shiman was a villain, she felt that every move and look of his was full of deep meaning.
Until the words rang in my mind: [It looks good. 】
These four big words.
Phew, it was just a false alarm.
It turned out that I was impressed by her skills.
"It looks good, right? I'll teach you when I get the chance." Yin Zhiyi looked at the perfect bow with a smug smile on his face.
"Okay." Yan Shi curled the corners of his mouth.
Both of them had a lot of wounds on their bodies and their clothes were so messy.
The unfamiliar surroundings all indicate the dire situation ahead.
We still have to leave this wilderness first before we can find out where this place is. I wonder how the male and female protagonists are doing? Yin Zhiyi got a headache when she thought about the fact that she still needed to complete the original owner's part of the story. Now that she was separated from the protagonists, she had to find the male and female protagonists quickly.
And Yan Shiman's injuries also need to be treated quickly.
Fortunately, there is always a way out.
Yin Zhiyi supported Yan Shiman and continued walking down the river. Not far away, they saw smoke rising from cooking fires. It was a village.
The stone tablet is engraved with - Zeyu Village.
It is a border village with simple folk customs. The morning mist has not yet dissipated. Women in twos and threes carry bamboo baskets and come to the bluestone slabs by the river. They start to wash vegetables and rice with wooden hammers and swift hands.
The barking of dogs interrupted the pleasant atmosphere of everyone's chatting, and a group of women exclaimed when they saw the two disheveled strangers.
It was even more surprising when I heard them say that they accidentally fell into the water from upstream and floated down.
After all, everyone knows how dangerous the Yishui River is. I was afraid that I would be knocked unconscious by the water and drowned before I even floated downstream. Even if I was not knocked unconscious, I would be killed by the rocks in the water.
"This must be the blessing of the gods!"
An old lady looked at these two young men with extraordinary looks and couldn't help but sigh.
The youngest woman among the group of people chatting said, "I heard that the county lady's wife's ship was in danger some time ago, and all the maids and servants who followed her died! The county lady's wife was also seriously injured and is still in a coma!"
Someone questioned: "How do you know?"
"You forgot that my husband has to deliver fresh fish to the county master every month. Look, he just finished delivering it yesterday. I heard from the servants in the mansion."
…People were talking constantly.
The old lady pulled Yin Zhiyi and Yan Shiman to find them some clothes to change into. Yin Zhiyi looked at the rags on his body and felt a little embarrassed.
The old lady was a widow with only one son. She lived on the boat all year round and seldom came back. The village depended on the water, and she made a living by fishing. Although she was not rich, she was still well-off and had no worries about food and drink. She could even save some money every year.
"Girl, I don't have any dress that fits you at home. Why don't you wear this one first? It's new."
The old lady took out a men's style garment.
Yin Zhiyi didn't care, as long as she had something to wear, she silently took the coarse cloth clothes handed over by the aunt, and after thanking her, Yin Zhiyi asked, "Aunt, is this Ciyu County?"
"Yes, this water has also carried you far away."
"Looking at you guys, you're from Shangjing, right?"
When the old lady was young, she also went fishing with her husband. She had seen all kinds of people on the boat and rarely made mistakes. Just looking at the faces and the way they talked, it was clear that these two were not ordinary people. The old lady had a look of seeing through everything.
Yin Zhiyi obediently took over the conversation, with a trace of sadness on his face: "Yes, I was originally going out to play with... my brother, but I didn't expect that, alas! I actually encountered such a terrible thing. Fortunately, no one is hurt, which is a blessing in disguise."
Hearing her words, Yan Shiman glanced at her.
"You two siblings are blessed by the gods. May I ask what I should call you?"
Where no one noticed, Yin Zhiyi poked the person next to him, signaling him to cooperate.
Although this lady looked kind, she was a stranger I had just met, so I still had to be wary of her.
Yin Zhiyi's mind was working rapidly, and he said something nonsense: "Yin Zhizhi, just call me Zhizhi."
"His name is Yin Manman!"
“Hahahahaha…what a nice name.”
When the old lady heard the name Yan Shiman, she praised it with a hint of uncertainty, as she always felt that it sounded like a girl's name.
"My last name is Lin, you can just call me Aunt Lin."
She looked at Yan Shiman. This young man looked elegant and gentle, but his eyes seemed a little cold? Looking at it again, it seemed like it was just her illusion.
Could it be that she is getting old and her eyesight is starting to become blurry?
Fortunately, Yin Zhiyi interrupted Aunt Lin's thoughts in time: "Aunt Lin, I want to ask, is there any medicine for treating external injuries here?"
After Yin Zhiyi finished speaking, the old lady immediately agreed to go to the doctor at the east end of the village to ask, and found a room for them to rest first.
There are three rooms in my aunt's house. One is her own, one is her son's, and the other is used to store miscellaneous items all year round.
Now they are resting in the room of the aunt's son.
As soon as the person left, Yin Zhiyi sat on the bed without any image and asked Yan Shiman to come and sit over as well.
"Yan Shiman, come here."
After she finished speaking, the person standing there did not move.
Yin Zhiyi:?
Then the young man said, "Well, Miss, you should just call me Yin Manman."
"Hahahahaha." Speaking of this, she was indeed just making it up, but when she named Yan Shiman, she still had a bit of bad taste. Manman is actually quite nice.
There was no emotion on Yan Shi's face, but when his dark pupils stared at someone quietly, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.
But Yin Zhiyi was very sure that he was not angry.
From this point of view, even if he is a villain, he is not that petty.
It was no different from when she thought this guy was the second male lead.
After all, how can someone who is willing to sacrifice himself to save others be a bad person?
She patted the bed and said with some amusement: "Well, Manman, come here."
Yan Shiman was stunned, as if he had never expected Yin Zhiyi to actually call him that. For a moment, the tips of his ears turned pink.
I just walked over there unconsciously.
"You, don't call me that."
He refused coldly, but Yin Zhiyi didn't listen. It was a rare opportunity to discover something interesting. She knew that Yan Shiman was very innocent, but she didn't expect him to be so innocent.
"Full, full, full..."
Every time she screamed, the tip of someone's ears turned redder, until it was so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.
Yin Zhiyi then gave up.
-
When Aunt Lin came back, it was almost noon.
She was carrying a bamboo basket filled with the medicine prescribed by the doctor. In addition to what Yin Zhiyi had instructed her to do earlier, she also bought some medicated oil for bruises and injuries.
Yin Zhiyi was touched by her thoughtfulness. She was indeed in great pain, and the medicine came just in time.
"Girl, I just went out and heard someone say that recently many nobles have come from Shangjing to Ciyu County. I heard that the hibiscus flowers nearby are about to bloom, and the noble ladies are coming together to enjoy the flowers."
"There are probably quite a few carriages and horses accompanying you. If you want to go back to the capital, you can go and ask around."
Ciyu County is a small place and not many people go to Shangjing. Normally, the carriage company arranges a trip to Shangjing only once every half a month.
The waiting time is too long.
Yin Zhiyi thought of the conversation between the county lord's wife and the servant on the boat before. No wonder the county lord's wife was so anxious at that time. She had to come back quickly even if she had to charter a boat. It turned out that someone had come from Shangjing.
"Okay, thank you for your help, auntie."
"It's just something I said, why bother? You guys take a rest first, I'll go make dinner. The day after tomorrow, everyone in the village will go to Ciyu County to attend the market. It's faster to take a bullock cart, so you can come with us."
Hearing this, Yin Zhiyi enthusiastically took Aunt Lin's arm and thanked her profusely.
Aunt Lin had always felt that this child was attractive to her, and now after hearing her praise herself to the skies, she couldn't stop smiling.
In fact, it’s not a big deal, but Yin Zhiyi is so sweet and good at talking.
Aunt Lin was so excited that she cut two pieces of bacon prepared for the New Year and went to cook!
The people of Zeyu Village make a living by fishing. The fish and shrimps caught in the water have little fat and are not worth much, but the livestock on the land are different. They are considered to be the best.
So when Ye Lianqing pushed the door open and smelled the aroma of meat, he thought he had walked into the wrong house.
"Mom?" he called out loudly.
After hearing the voice of a young woman coming from the inner room, he frowned slightly.
There are not many relatives in their family, and the only friends and relatives they have have stopped contacting after their father died, so it is naturally impossible for them to be sisters in the clan.
Then it can only be that this is another girl his mother found for him to meet.
He inherited his father's good looks. Ever since he could remember, many girls in the village had been chasing after him, which was very annoying, but he really had no intention of getting married and having children.
Ye Lianqing sighed helplessly. His mother had a good temper and was kind-hearted, but he did not expect that his family was not very wealthy and his mother would actually cook meat dishes for a stranger. It was really getting more and more outrageous.
Thinking like this, he forgot that he had come back suddenly today and his mother didn't know about it at all. So how could she have asked the girl to come to the house in advance to meet him?
Ye Lianqing just pushed the door open and wanted to see the guests off, but his voice got stuck in his throat: "You guys..."
The wooden door opened with a creaky sound.
The girl was drinking porridge with her head lowered. The coarse porcelain bowl covered half of her face. Her coarse linen shirt hung loosely on her body. The collar was slightly open, revealing a piece of her snow-white neck, which was shining brightly.
Yin Zhiyi raised her eyes and calmly met the gaze outside the door. Her appearance was reflected in the porridge at this moment——
She wore no makeup, and her black hair was casually tied up with a plain hairpin. Her coarse linen clothes looked new, but did not fit her well. One could tell at a glance that they were men's clothes.
It's his.
His mother actually gave his clothes to a girl.
Ye Lianqing's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was unclear whether it was because of the clothes or something else.
He stammered, "Sorry...I'm sorry..."
