Caught off guard, Hong Xiaoduo was already firmly held down by two strong arms before she could react.
"You, surnamed Lin, are you this outrageous when you're drunk?" Hong Xiaoduo cursed as she tried to break free, her nostrils filled with the strong smell of alcohol.
Ignoring her shouts, Lin Ansheng, burning hot all over, felt a sense of comfort when he touched the cool cheek of the person in his arms. However, when he smelled her body fragrance, which was different from that of the men in the military camp, he felt as if oil had been poured into a fire pit, and he completely lost his mind.
At this moment, Hong Xiaoduo realized something was wrong and cursed inwardly. How unlucky could she be? Being tricked by carelessness was bad enough, but how did she have to encounter a plot where the male lead was drugged?
No, I absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing happening to me.
She never imagined that in this dynasty, her male lead would be hers. With a struggle, she actually broke free, only to see the young general, who seemed to have been tricked, rushing towards her again.
Hong Xiaoduo was annoyed that she was skilled but didn't know any acupressure techniques. A move from an action movie flashed through her mind. She crouched down, crawled under the other person's arm to his side, raised her hand and struck him on the back of the neck, then quickly stepped back two steps, watching the other person's reaction warily.
If you fail, you'd better run!
All I saw was the person in front of me fall to the ground and then remain motionless.
Huh? It really works? Hong Xiaoduo stepped forward and kicked the person lying on the ground with her toe, but the person didn't react at all.
Oh no, did I accidentally kill someone because I didn't control my strength properly?
Thinking of this, Hong Xiaoduo quickly squatted down and felt his carotid artery with her hand. She felt his clear and strong pulse and breathed a sigh of relief.
By the light of the lanterns hanging from the shops along the street, I looked at my palms and was a little incredulous. Had I really become this awesome?
My own crisis is resolved, but what should I do with this person? Leave him here and go to the military camp to find someone to pick him up?
That's not a safe bet. What if he encounters someone he's wronged and they take the opportunity to do something to him?
What if he wakes up after I leave, and the effects of the drug haven't worn off yet, and he ruins the innocent girl's reputation?
Moreover, he was Peng Xian's sworn brother and a general who led troops to protect the people.
Just as I was worrying, I vaguely heard footsteps coming from not far away. I looked up and saw someone walking towards me.
That's great, it will be much easier if someone can help.
However, Hong Xiaoduo was too happy too soon. When the man got closer and saw someone lying on the ground, he seemed to think of something or imagine something, and then he turned around and ran away.
"Hey? Why are you running? Honestly." Hong Xiaoduo was furious as she watched the figure running further and further away.
Helplessly, he looked at the person lying on the ground again, thought for a moment, and decided to take the person to the inn for Peng Xian's sake.
Since I'm so capable, I should be able to carry a big man, right?
Thinking this, she stepped forward to try it out. She grabbed one of the other person's arms and pulled her onto her shoulder. Hong Xiaoduo was very happy and even squatted down and stood up repeatedly to test it. She didn't find it particularly heavy.
It wasn't far from the inn; we arrived quickly.
"Young lady, what are you doing?" The innkeeper was puzzled when he saw her carrying a large man back.
"I picked up a drunkard while I was out for a stroll. Could you please find me a room, sir?" Hong Xiaoduo said to the waiter. She had been staying at the inn for several days and was already familiar with it.
The waiter didn't recognize who was being carried and didn't dare to take the drunkard in.
"Don't worry, I won't cheat you or cause you any trouble. Even if your young master and manager find out, they won't scold you. And if this person doesn't pay your room fee after he sobers up tomorrow, I'll pay it for him," Hong Xiaoduo assured her.
Hearing her say that, the waiter didn't say anything more, especially since the young master had given instructions to make things convenient for this young lady.
The waiter led Hong Xiaoduo into a guest room downstairs. After Hong Xiaoduo went in, she carried the person onto the bed like a worker unloading a heavy load.
The movements were anything but gentle, causing the waiter beside them to grimac.
However, how come this young lady Hong is so strong? She can actually lift such a burly man who looks much heavier than herself, and the key is that she is not out of breath, there is no sweat on her forehead, and her breathing is very steady.
Even someone a head taller than her might not be able to achieve what she has!
After unloading the person from her shoulder, Hong Xiaoduo stretched her not-so-tired shoulders and thought that would be the end of it. However, looking at the person on the bed, although they were unconscious, their condition was even worse.
His face was even redder, and his breathing was very rapid. I reached out and touched his forehead, and oh my god, he had a high fever!
If this continues, the person might get brain damage from the fever!
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about medicine and don't know what medicine to give him to help with his condition.
Turning his head, he saw that the waiter hadn't left yet: "Could you please bring me a bucket of cold water, young man?"
He had been standing by, curious about why this young woman had picked up a man, but when he heard her words, he was taken aback: "Young woman, you're going to give him a bath?"
"No, I saw that he was burning up, so I thought I'd cool him down with cold water." Hong Xiaoduo wasn't telling the truth.
The waiter understood: "Cooling it down with cold water is a good method, but do we need a whole bucket of water? Are you sure it's not just a basin?"
"Yes, it will take a load. Don't worry, young man, I'll have him give you some compensation after he sobers up tomorrow. If he doesn't, I'll give it to you." Hong Xiaoduo was afraid that if they delayed any longer, General Lin might suffer some serious aftereffects from the medication.
Upon hearing that there was a small amount of money, the shop assistant immediately stopped arguing, agreed, and left, quickly bringing a bucket of freshly drawn well water.
After delivering the water, the waiter remembered that no one was guarding the entrance to the inn, so he quickly left with the empty bucket.
Hong Xiaoduo closed the door to the room, poured both buckets of water into the bathtub, and then walked to the bedside.
After saying "Excuse me," they carried the person into the bathroom and put them directly into the bathtub.
In the past, I had seen scenes in books and movies where men would soak in cold water to counteract the effects of certain drugs.
Whether it will work or not, she wasn't sure and had no way of verifying it. She was just trying it out, just in case it worked!
As soon as the unconscious Lin Ansheng stepped into the cold water of the bathtub, her brows furrowed.
Hong Xiaoduo didn't leave immediately, fearing that if she left, he might unconsciously sink into the water and drown.
She was saving lives, not killing them!
I moved a chair to the edge of the bathtub and watched the person inside. Their breathing seemed to have calmed down, and their face wasn't as frighteningly red anymore.
"Look at you, no matter how good your kung fu is, or how skilled you are at leading troops in battle, what good will it do? You'll still be outmaneuvered..."
