Chapter 65 Accident
Another night has passed, and the story of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has continued to advance considerably.
Yao Rongrong said that A Zhu was dead and she wouldn't listen to the story anymore, but when Lin Xiu continued to tell the story, she listened with great concentration.
After listening, without Lin Xiu having to bring it up, she directly took out the Qi-Boosting and Health-Nourishing Pill and tossed it to Lin Xiu.
After re-corking the small medicine bottle, Yao Rongrong sighed:
"Sir, there's not much medicine left. But now that you've taken so much, the effect is probably not much. Taking more will only give you a little more effect, and it'll just be a snack."
"Looking back now, it's as if you've mastered the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic), and you've become as exceptionally talented as Qiao Feng."
"..."
Lin Xiu remained silent and quietly swallowed the pill.
Yao Rongrong added, "Oh, no, now it should be called Xiao Feng."
The next morning, Lin Xiu made some breakfast and shared it with Yao Rongrong. Yao Rongrong then went out again, saying she was going to participate in today's hunting trip.
Lin Xiu ignored her. Perhaps this female knight-errant had something else she wanted to prepare before setting off?
After Yao Rongrong left, Lin Xiu began to cultivate on his own. The Qi-Boosting and Body-Nourishing Pill was indeed no longer of much use to him; the medicinal power of the pill was quickly digested, and its benefits were minimal.
So, what's needed next is years of training to gradually build up strength.
Ok……
There are also martial arts techniques.
There are no martial arts manuals in this world, but there are techniques for attacking and striking.
Yao Rongrong is very skilled with the rapier; her fighting techniques are quite impressive.
Actually, it's not much different from martial arts; they're both techniques used in combat.
When he finished cultivating, Lin Xiu thought to himself.
He then continued writing the rest of "Journey to the West" until noon before putting down his pen.
Food is precious nowadays, yet we can't afford to eat three meals a day, so we don't eat lunch.
He sat down to rest for a while, waiting for Han Cheng to come and invite him to listen to the story, but unexpectedly, it was not Han Cheng who came first, but Yao Rongrong.
The female knight swayed unsteadily, her eyelids drooped, and her expression was listless, quite unlike her usual self.
Lin Xiu quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened? How did you get like this?"
Yao Rongrong waved her hand, and Chong Linxiu forced a smile, saying, "It's alright, sir, I'll just take a nap."
Lin Xiu then helped Yao Rongrong back into the house.
He asked Yao Rongrong what was wrong, but she just said, "Sir, I'm a little tired and don't want to talk. Can we talk after I wake up?"
Lin Xiu frowned, but ultimately did not press the matter further.
He helped Yao Rongrong lie down on her own bedding, and as soon as he covered her with the blanket, Yao Rongrong closed her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the woman fell asleep, leaving Lin Xiu on tenterhooks.
Fortunately, Yao Rongrong was still breathing, and Lin Xiu could still hear her, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing Yao's pale and haggard appearance, Lin Xiu frowned, wondering what had happened that day.
Now that it's like this, I wonder if it's really true, as Yao Rongrong said, that it will get better after a good night's sleep?
I remember there's a doctor in the village; I might as well go and ask him to take a look. The ten or so copper coins I earned yesterday should be enough to pay the consultation fee, right?
But it doesn't matter if it's not enough, just go to Han Cheng for an advance on the royalties.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiu got up and went out.
He had just closed the door, preparing to go find a doctor, when he suddenly saw several people walking towards him in the distance, their steps hurried and seemingly in a great hurry.
Who else but Li Laoshi was leading the way?
"Brother Lin Xiu! Brother Lin Xiu!"
Li Laoshi saw Lin Xiu from afar, called out urgently, and quickened his pace.
Just right.
Lin Xiuxin said something and then asked, "Brother Li, what happened? My sister just came back, and she seemed to be injured. She lay down and fell asleep."
"well……"
Li Laoshi sighed, a look of shame unconsciously appearing on his face, and said, "It's all our fault for being useless and dragging your sister down with us."
After saying that, he explained the situation to Lin Xiu.
It turned out that when they went hunting today, they encountered a yellow ox that was infected with symptoms of the living dead.
The ox, whose origins are unknown, has now become a living dead ox. Though it has lost its control and feeding, it remains robust and possesses terrifying strength.
Upon seeing the hunting party, the yellow ox's eyes turned bloodshot, and it went berserk.
The strength was terrifying, and the crowd couldn't withstand it. In just one round, two people were knocked down by the mad bull.
Li Laoshi didn't go into details about the battle afterward, but judging from his equally listless and weak appearance, and the lingering fear he showed when recounting the events, Lin Xiu knew that the battle must have been extremely fierce.
Li Laoshi only told Lin Xiu that Yao Rongrong had taken a hit from the mad bull in order to buy time for everyone to attack it, which is why she was so seriously injured.
Fortunately, with Yao Rongrong holding them back, the mad bull was eventually killed by the combined efforts of everyone, so Yao Rongrong's injury was not in vain.
After returning to the village, Li Laoshi originally wanted to take Yao Rongrong to Doctor Chang for treatment, but Yao Rongrong said it wasn't necessary and that she would be fine after resting. She then returned alone, and when Li Laoshi asked someone to follow her, she chased them away.
There were other wounded in the hunting party. Li Laoshi first took the wounded to Doctor Chang, and after examining them briefly, he felt relieved enough to invite Doctor Chang to come here.
Dr. Chang was the tall, thin old man with gray hair and many wrinkles on his face among this group.
Lin Xiu quickly opened the door and let Doctor Chang in.
At this moment, Yao Rongrong was fast asleep and no one could wake her up even if someone came in.
Doctor Chang went over, first taking Yao Rongrong's pulse, then asking Li Laoshi where Yao Rongrong had been hit. He had Lin Xiu lift the blanket, press on the area to confirm, and then exclaimed in surprise:
"This girl is amazing! Everyone else is so badly injured, but she doesn't seem to be in any serious condition. Just as she said, she just needs to rest, so don't worry."
Lin Xiu asked nervously, "Doctor, do I need any medicine?"
Doctor Chang said, "If we were still in Yancheng County, I might have prescribed some medicine to strengthen your bodies and speed up your recovery."
However, in Lijiaji these days, medicinal herbs must be used sparingly. She's perfectly capable of recovering on her own; there's no need for any additional medicine.
Lin Xiu didn't make any further demands. They had already said that medicinal herbs were in short supply in the village and needed to be used sparingly, so how could he possibly insist?
After seeing Li Laoshi and Doctor Chang off, Li Laoshi asked Lin Xiu to let him know when Yao Rongrong woke up so he could come and thank her properly. He also mentioned that there was a reward for hunting down the mad bull, but he would have to wait until Yao Rongrong woke up to find out.
Although the beef from that mad bull is inedible, it has other useful parts. What Yao Rongrong wants will depend on what she decides when she wakes up.
