Luo Lianyi pushed hard, but did not push Eunuch Tong. She gritted her teeth and prepared to use force again, but Eunuch Tong suddenly turned around and stared at her fiercely. "Damn girl! You want to kill me!" He scolded, but
He didn't dare to kill Luo Lianyi, so he only reached out to catch her.
Luo Lianyi saw that he didn't push her out of the boat with one palm, and saw the taboo in his heart. Although she couldn't escape the fate of his hands being held, her feet kicked around without restraint.
The deaf-mute boatman looked at them and bumped the boat more violently. Eunuch Tong could not stand steadily, and his hand holding Luo Lianyi finally relaxed. He squatted on the deck and grabbed the edge of the river with both hands.
"We can't push him into the water, what should we do?" Luo Lianyi looked at the river and suddenly jumped into the water. Seeing her jumping into the water, the boatman seemed to understand her intention and jumped down beside her.
Grab the edge of the boat.
"What are you going to do?" Eunuch Tong was shocked.
"I'll take you to the Dragon Palace for a stroll! The Dragon Prince really needs your father-in-law." Luo Lianyi smiled mischievously. Then she shouted "one, two, three", and she and the deaf-mute boatman lifted up the boat and threw the father-in-law into the water.
"Ah ah -" the boatman stretched out his hand and grabbed Luo Lianyi's hand. Luo Lianyi looked at him gratefully, struggled to keep up, and swam to the other side with him. A splash of water appeared where the boy's father-in-law fell into the water, and then a string of water appeared.
Bubbles…
Luo Lianyi didn't have time to look back at him, so she just swam desperately to the other shore with the boatman. The shore could be seen in the distance, but she couldn't seem to swim to the end. She felt more and more tired, and her swimming movements gradually slowed down.
"Yeah..." The old man nodded towards him, his eyes full of encouragement.
Luo Lianyi gathered her energy and followed him for dozens of meters, but she really lost her energy. She just wanted to stop and rest for a while, but as soon as she relaxed, she felt like she was sinking into the water.
The old man looked back at her, pulled her hand hard, and said "Yeah" to the other side. Luo Lianyi gritted her teeth and gathered her strength again.
Finally reaching the shallow water, when Luo Lianyi's feet touched the ground, her whole body relaxed and she threw herself into the water.
"Uh-huh - uh-huh -" the old man lifted her up, dragged her to the shore, and placed her on the beach. After Luo Lianyi spit a few words of water, she passed out. When she woke up, she was already lying down
On a bed.
"Uncle, aunt." She saw the old boatman who rescued her standing in front of the bed, and there was an aunt beside the old man. The room was very simple, with fish hanging on the wall, and the strong smell of fish made Luo Lianyi feel a little uncomfortable.
Habit.
"Wake up, drink this bowl of soup." Seeing that she was awake, the aunt handed her the ginger soup in her hand. She spoke with a heavy accent, but Luo Lianyi could understand her.
"Thank you." Luo Lianyi sat up and found that she had also changed out of her wet clothes and put on gray, patched coarse cloth clothes. The clothes also exuded a fishy smell.
The aunt saw her looking at the clothes on her body and said quickly: "Your clothes were dried outside in the sun. They are very old. There are no new clothes at home."
"Thank you, thank you, this is very good, very good." Luo Lianyi looked at her guilty look and nodded sheepishly. She drank the hot ginger syrup and felt much better.
"Antidote!" She suddenly remembered the antidote she had put in her clothes, jumped up from the bed and rushed outside. "Oops! Oops! I wonder if it has been thrown into the river!"
"Girl, are you looking for this?" Seeing her anxious look, the aunt chased after her and asked. Luo Lianyi turned around and saw a small white bottle in her hand, so she stopped and let out a long breath.
She put the vial away, took her clothes and went into the inner room to change into them. Fortunately, the belt that had been tied around her waist was still there, and the silver needle she carried was placed inside and never left her body.
After getting dressed and coming out, she looked at the surrounding environment and found that this was a fishing village with many bungalows similar to this house. The outside of each house was covered with dried fish, and the air was full of the smell of fish.
There is still a distance between the river and this village. Luo Lianyi stood on tiptoes and looked at the river, wondering if Tong Fuan had been buried in the river. If the bad guy was not dead, would he come to the fishing village to find the deaf and mute people?
Uncle's revenge?
"Mom, uncle, I think we have to leave here. If the bad guy is not dead, he will come back and kill you." Luo Lianyi said while pulling the two old people.
"Where are we going? Our ancestors have been here for generations." The aunt became anxious upon hearing this.
"Then I'll go to the riverside to see if he's dead." Luo Lianyi said.
The old man waved his hands repeatedly and babbling some words, and the aunt helped him explain: "The old man said that he had already gone to see it. The bad guy didn't come ashore, so he should be dead."
"That's good. I'm leaving. Thank you. Please take care of yourself. If I'm not dead, I will come back to you." Luo Lianyi pulled out a golden hairpin from her hair and handed it to her aunt.
Tong Fu'an was held hostage until now, and he no longer had any money on him.
"No, girl, you don't have any money anymore, just use it to pay for your travel expenses." The aunt hurriedly shied away.
Luo Lianyi was moved to tears. She put away the gold hairpin. She looked at her up and down and asked, "Do you suffer from unbearable joint pain on rainy days?"
"Yes, yes, it's an old problem." Auntie nodded.
"Sit down and I'll treat you." Luo Lianyi knew that most people who live in the water all year round have rheumatism. She took out a silver needle from her waist and asked her aunt to roll up her trouser legs and find acupuncture points for her to prick.
.
"The girl is a medical girl?" The aunt said with admiration in her eyes.
"Well, after I treat you, I will give you a medicine order. You go grab the medicine, boil it and take it. Your leg will no longer hurt like that." Luo Lianyi said and asked the old man to find paper and pen.
After opening the order, she pulled out the silver needle, packed her things, said goodbye to her savior, and walked out of the fishing village. She had secretly put the gold hairpin into the aunt's pocket, and she was now penniless.
, where should we go next? She was walking on an unfamiliar path, feeling a little confused.
Should she go back to the imperial capital or the military camp? Liu Fan would definitely come after her, or should she walk back slowly and join him. While she was thinking about it, she arrived at the riverside again.
The old man chased her out and asked her with gestures if he wanted to send her back across the river. In the river, the small boat they had abandoned had disappeared.
Luo Lianyi stared at the river for a while, recalling the way Liu Fan rejected her, and felt a little sad. In order to get her the antidote, he was almost desperate, and she suddenly wanted to leave again, so that he would not be hurt anymore.
.
As for the heart-gnawing pain, she wanted to try to see if she could survive it. Then she would slowly look for an antidote, or one day be able to detoxify herself. Gritting her teeth, she chose a completely unfamiliar direction, said goodbye to her old man and set foot on the road resolutely.
