Warm medicine emits fragrance

"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"

Fan Liuer couldn't drag Li Chenbi by herself, so she could only shout for help and ask the neighbors for help. The first person to hear the cries for help was Siqing. Her room was next to the river, and she was preparing to take a nap at the time. When she heard the noise, she immediately opened the window and looked down.

When she saw Fan Liuer squatting by the river, pulling hard on someone with both hands, and there was a sign that she was being dragged down, she was so frightened that she immediately screamed.

"Sister Liu, hang in there, I'll go get Brother Ji right away."

After yelling, she turned and ran outside.

Fan Liuer used all her strength. Li Chenbi was tall and heavy to begin with, and with his whole body submerged in the water, he became even heavier as the river dragged him down. Fan Liuer gritted her teeth and barely managed to keep her balance so as not to be dragged down.

She was too busy to attend to everything, and with both hands gripping Li Chenbi's clothes, she couldn't free her hands to support his head, which was half submerged in water, with the river water covering his nose.

Fan Liuer was extremely anxious, fearing that if she delayed any longer, Li Chenbi would drown in her hands before being swept away by the river.

Just as her worries reached their peak, and she was thinking of simply going down to the underwater stone slab to lift Li Chenbi's head, Siqing arrived with Feng Ji.

"Sister Liu'er, we're here!"

Hearing Siqing's voice behind her, Fan Liuer breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Feng Ji quickly stepped forward, took Li Chenbi's clothes from Fan Liuer's hands, and pulled him out of the water by the clothes.

After placing the people on the platform, Feng Ji finally had a chance to examine the faces of his subordinates.

When he saw that face, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to look at Fan Liuer.

Siqing pulled Fan Liuer aside and looked her up and down, asking, "Are you alright?"

Fan Liuer was completely focused on Li Chenbi, and absentmindedly replied that she was fine. She didn't notice Feng Ji's expression, took a few steps to the shore, squatted down next to Li Chenbi, and looked him over.

Seeing Li Chenbi's pale face, her heart tightened.

Looking around again, she noticed that Li Chenbi had several wounds of varying sizes on his body.

Because it had been soaked in water for a long time, the wound had turned white.

But the bleeding hadn't stopped; it was still seeping out little by little, spreading rapidly across his soaked clothes.

Li Chenbi's eyes were closed and he had lost consciousness. Fan Liuer was anxious and panicked. "He...he didn't drown, did he?"

Feng Ji then looked away, clasped his hands together, and pressed them against Li Chenbi's chest, quickly applying pressure.

Siqing also came over at this moment, and when she saw the face of the person on the ground, she had the same expression as Feng Ji.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

Her first reaction was to check on Fan Liuer, but seeing that she was only concerned about the person on the ground, she swallowed back the surprise in her mouth.

Feng Ji hadn't pressed down on Li Chenbi a few times when he stirred, coughing twice before slowly opening his eyes.

What came into view was an unfamiliar face.

A man's face.

His eyes darted around, searching for Fan Liuer's figure.

When I saw that familiar face, I felt a sense of relief and closed my eyes again.

Fan Liuer was worried and called his name softly, "Li Chenbi! Li Chenbi!"

No response.

Fan Liuer started to get anxious again and immediately looked up at Feng Ji.

"We need to get him to the clinic right away, Brother Feng. Could you please help me get him there?"

Feng Ji didn't ask any more questions, suppressed his doubts, and nodded.

Reaching out, they pulled Li Chenbi up from the ground, and with the help of Fan Liuer and Siqing, they carried Li Chenbi on their backs and quickly left the riverbank.

Fan Liuer followed behind him. Siqing gathered all of Fan Liuer's clothes that had been scattered on the ground into a basin before carrying it to follow.

The three walked into the alley and were about to reach the street when Fan Liuer suddenly called out to Feng Ji.

"No, we can't go to the clinic."

Fan Liuer thought of Li Chenbi's injuries. Although she didn't know what had happened to Li Chenbi before, she could vaguely guess what it was.

He was most likely assassinated by someone.

Who is it?

Xingzhou is now occupied by the rebel army. The only person who could have injured Li Chenbi like this must be someone from the rebel army.

Although Guanshan Town is far from Xingzhou City, it is still under the jurisdiction of the rebel army. If the rebel army comes looking for them, they can find out by asking at the clinic.

At that time, not only will Li Chenbi not be able to escape, but she will also be implicated, and Feng Ji and Si Qing will also be dragged into it.

Feng Ji stopped and turned to look at her.

Fan Liuer immediately said, "Send it to my house, but keep it away from people."

As she spoke, she pulled a garment from the basin that Siqing was holding.

This garment was left behind by the original landlord; it was a men's outer robe. Fan Liuer originally intended to throw it away, but after seeing that the garment was in good condition, she thought it was okay to throw it away and kept it to wear while working.

Now it came in handy; she used her outer robe to completely cover Li Chenbi, obscuring his face.

"If you meet anyone, tell them that Feng Xu fell into the water."

Feng Ji nodded, and after Fan Liuer wrapped Li Chenbi up, she carried him back to the street.

It was the hottest part of the day, and with no one on the street, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Ji carried the person on his back and hurried towards Fan Liuer's house. Fan Liuer jogged behind him, while Si Qing carried a basin and ran at the very back.

Just as Feng Ji pushed open the door to Fan Liuer's house with his back to her and was halfway inside, the door next door suddenly opened, and a woman walked out, looking this way.

Feng Ji moved quickly; she only caught a glimpse of him carrying someone on his back as he swept past. Fan Liuer also quickly entered the house, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared.

She called out to Siqing, who was following behind, with a puzzled look, "Siqing, what's going on? Who is Feng Ji carrying?"

Siqing suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned to the woman and said, "Well, that brat Feng Xu almost drowned after falling into the water. Luckily, Brother Feng found him early and pulled him out, otherwise he would have lost his life in this river."

The woman was shocked upon hearing this and immediately walked over. "Really? How is he? Is he alright? Let me go see him."

Siqing quickly said, "He's alright, he's woken up, but he's just a little weak right now. Don't bother coming to see him, that kid knows how to save face now, he won't let me tell anyone he almost drowned."

The woman patted her chest, "Oh dear, that was terrifying! It's good that you're alright."

"Alright, you go ahead with your work. I need to go teach this kid a lesson. He dares to go into the water when it's flooded. He's got a death wish."

After saying that, Siqing rushed into the house and quickly closed the door from the inside.

The woman stood at the door, gazing thoughtfully at Fan Liuer's courtyard.

Why was Feng Xu sent to Fan Liuer's house instead of his cousin Feng Ji's house after he fell into the water?

The two houses are clearly the same distance apart.

Could it be...?

The thought popped into her head, and she immediately smiled, realizing how it was true.

That Feng Xu must have already set his sights on Lady Fan.

She said that the young man was very attentive to Madam Fan, and he was the fastest to help with matters concerning Fan Liuer.

Well... although Feng Xu is still young, it's normal for someone his age to think about things between men and women.

I just don't know if Lady Fan will take a liking to that young man.
