20demayo Chapter 741 Who are you?
Chapter 741 Who are you?
When Lin Qi woke up, he felt like half of his body was numb and his vision was blurry.
"you're awake?"
A strange voice rang in my ears, clear and pleasant yet unfamiliar.
"You, who are you?"
"Oh, your mother thought this place was a bit too simple, so she went back to the mansion to get you some things and asked me to look after you in her place."
"Mother? What happened to me? Where am I?"
"You've been poisoned, by snake venom, highly venomous! But thankfully, those three idiots who were with you didn't take your life lightly; they knew to bring you to the hospital. You won't die now, but whether you'll fully recover is another matter."
"Poisoning? No wonder, I can't feel my legs."
"Huh? Still no feeling? Is she paralyzed?!"
Ouyang Yan stepped forward and yanked off Lin Qi's blanket. Because he had been given acupuncture and bloodletting, Lin Qi was only wearing his underpants. Although he didn't feel anything, the leg that hadn't been bitten still felt a chill instantly.
"Ah—! Sorry! I didn't know you weren't wearing..."
Ouyang Yan's face instantly turned as red as a tomato, just like when she saw the top scholar parading through the streets on horseback before.
"I'm sorry, let me cover you up."
Lin Qi didn't blush at this moment, after all, his face was very pale due to poisoning and bloodletting.
"Who are you? Why are you here watching over me? Where are Liu Qing and the other two?"
"Hey~ Don't mention your three frenemy friends. When Madam Lin comes, they tremble like leaves, afraid that Madam Lin will get angry and kill them."
"As soon as Madam Lin left, they slipped away. I was going home, but since you were left unattended, I had no choice but to stay and look after you."
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
"Why are you coughing again? Do you want some water? I'll have the maid pour you some."
"No, no need. It's just that you still haven't told me who you are!!"
"Oh, didn't I say that? I thought I did, hehe."
Lin Qi was speechless, feeling even more dizzy. Who was this person anyway, so noisy!
My head is spinning, I really want to sleep...
"Hey, hey, hey, don't fall asleep! The doctor said that you shouldn't fall asleep again after you wake up. You should drink your medicine while you're still awake."
"Wait a minute, hang in there! You must hold on! I'll go get help!"
Finally, it was quiet. Lin Qi let out a soft breath and tried to lift his leg, but he couldn't.
Am I really going to be crippled? I lost a leg trying to hunt a sika deer!
Lin Qi was somewhat helpless, blaming himself for being playful and insisting on going up the mountain with others.
Don't blame others, blame yourself.
"He's really awake. Not bad, not bad. Young people have a good foundation."
"According to Aunt Lin, he has practiced martial arts since childhood and is quite strong."
"I see. Then the recovery will be faster. I'll go get the medicine first and have the apprentice decoct it. After you drink the medicine, observe me overnight. We'll know if there's anything seriously wrong tomorrow."
"Okay, I will tell Aunt Lin truthfully. Thank you for your hard work."
After the doctor and Ouyang Yan finished speaking at Lin Qi's bedside, they left, completely disregarding Lin Qi, the person involved.
Not long after, the young apprentice brought in a bowl of thick, dark medicine, the strong smell of which hit you right in the head.
Lin Qi wanted to play dead, but the medicine boy and Ouyang Yan grabbed him from the left and right.
To avoid exposing his lower body again, Lin Qi could only sit up using the force. As soon as he sat up, a mouthful of thick, bitter medicine was poured into his mouth.
Instantly, a fishy smell filled my mouth. Just as I was about to vomit, the young apprentice pinched my nose firmly and accurately.
Lin Qi lost control of his nose, and the only way to avoid suffocating was to breathe through his mouth.
The medicine took this opportunity to flow down the esophagus into the stomach, instantly filling the chest and abdomen with warmth.
Lin Qi knew he was probably working at one of the larger clinics in the capital, but he still wanted to ask, "Who are you?"
"Alright, alright, he drank it all, not a drop was wasted."
"You really know how to do things; you're so capable for such a young age!"
"Hehe, Miss Ouyang, you flatter us. We just get better with practice. There are always some patients in the clinic who don't like to take medicine and are afraid of the bitterness. We always give them medicine this way, and it works every time."
Miss Ouyang? Which Miss Ouyang?
Lin Qi finally learned from a third person who the woman in front of him was, but he only knew that her surname was Ouyang.
However, it's not hard to guess. In the capital, besides the Ouyang family of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and the Ouyang family of the Empress Dowager's maternal family, which other Ouyang family could be known to Madam Lin?
"Hmm, that's impressive. So he'll be fine after taking the medicine, right? Or does he need someone to watch over him?"
"Yes, it is necessary. Although the injured are no longer in mortal danger, their condition is still not very stable and they still need more care and attention."
The doctor and his apprentice couldn't possibly keep an eye on things all the time, since there were other patients to watch over.
Ouyang Yan couldn't stay out all night, so she was just waiting for Madam Lin to return with her people so she could go home.
Although I didn't manage to climb to the top of Nanshan Temple that day, it was still quite fulfilling.
Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, and Ouyang Yan subjectively felt that she was the one who saved the person.
After all, if she hadn't generously given up her "transportation," this person would have been dead long ago.
Forget about returning to the city for medical treatment; the funeral can be held right there on the mountain.
