Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard

Not Considered the First Kiss’s First Kiss

T/N: Chapter (4/6) sponsored by Madam Daim! Thank you for sponsoring!

The people that came from the county seat were precisely Han Ming Yi’s bodyguards. As soon as they arrived, they started attacking the a.s.sa.s.sin. Once Leng Yi had the ones in front of him killed off, he quickly moved to the river sh.o.r.e.

He and Leng Er both don’t know how to swim. After learning that Du Xiao Li had gone down, he thus anxiously waited by the river sh.o.r.e.

Seeing that their reinforcements have arrived, the a.s.sa.s.sin leader said to the remaining people, “Retreat!”

Receiving the order, the a.s.sa.s.sins flew off in all four directions.

Leng Yi saw that they wanted to chase after them and said, “Don’t bother. Is there anyone among you all that know how to swim? Those that know how to swim, go down and save young master!”

Two people with slightly short statures jumped into the water in succession, searching for Han Ming Yi in the water.

After Du Xiao Li had jumped in the water, she had started swimming towards the place where Han Ming Yi fell in. This river’s flow wasn’t rapid, so Han Ming Yi shouldn’t have been washed too far away. As expected, in a place slightly downstream, she found the already fainted Han Ming Yi.

She hurriedly swam over, wrapping both arms around his underarm, swimming upwards along with him.

‘Splash—‘

The people on the sh.o.r.es only heard a splashing sound, and Du Xiao Li, along with Han Ming Yi, emerged onto the water’s surface.

“Quickly have young master and the girl brought up.” Leng Er said to the two in the water.

Du Xiao Li had already consumed quite of bit of energy from dealing with the enemies earlier, in addition to her current body still being too small, by the time she dragged Han Ming Yi to the water’s surface, she was already a bit dizzy. Fortunately, those two bodyguards swam over, and had her and Han Ming Yi brought to the sh.o.r.e.

Du Xiao Li laid Han Ming Yi flat on the ground. At the moment, he’d already fainted, with his head leaning to the side, and his complexion deathly pale.

“Young master!” Leng Yi knelt down on one knee, continuously calling out to Han Ming Yi.

“Young master has fainted!” Someone said.

“Don’t you two know about water? What are you still standing around for, quickly give your young master first aid!” Du Xiao Li sat to the side, and said to those two guys just now.

Leng Yi had one of them dragged to Han Ming Yi’s side and said, “Don’t worry about anything else, save young master first.”

“Yes.” Obtaining Leng Yi’s orders, that person pressed his hand onto Han Ming Yi’s stomach, pressing down with force. Very soon, he spat out two mouthfuls of water, but was still not waking up.

“Why is he still not waking?” Leng Er anxiously said, using his hand to slap Han Ming Yi’s face. Yet, he suddenly retracted his hand and said, “Young master’s not breathing!”

Leng Yi reached his hand out to check. Discovering that Han Ming Yi really wasn’t breathing, he entirely blanked.

Du Xiao Li came to Han Ming Yi’s side, and saw that that person’s techniques were also correct. Just, because Han Ming Yi had been in the water for too long, that’s why he’d temporarily stopped breathing.

“Give him mouth-to-mouth breathing!” Du Xiao Li said to the bodyguard.

“Mouth-to-mouth breathing?” Not only did that bodyguard not know, Leng Yi and Leng Er didn’t know either.

(T/N: Okay, so I feel I need to clarify, the word for CPR in chinese literally translates to ‘artificial breathing’ so it would technically sounds less weird to them.)

“Move aside!” Right now, Du Xiao Li didn’t have the time to explain to them what mouth-to-mouth breathing was, and further didn’t have the time to teach them. She pulled the bodyguard to the side. Immediately after, she pried open Han Ming Yi’s mouth, seeing that the dirty things in the throat have already been spat along with the water. Then, she used her hand to pinch Han Ming Yi’s nose, took in a deep breath, and leaned over to give Han Ming Yi mouth-to-mouth.

“What is she doing?” A bodyguard from behind saw Du Xiao Li’s movements, and sucked in a breath.

“Yi, she….” Someone, seeing that Leng Yi didn’t interfere, shouted.

Leng Yi waved his hand to interrupt that person’s words, and everyone thus quietly watched Du Xiao Li breath air in and spit air out.

“Ugh…..” A moment later, Han Ming Yi faintly opened his eyes, seeing a pair of bright eyes, seemingly like the night stars, suddenly flashing into his heart.

Du Xiao Li didn’t think that Han Ming Yi would wake up this quickly. Her lips were still tightly pressed onto his. There was still a soft sensation on her lips. And his eyes were like the vast ocean, letting her instantly lose herself.

Just like this, the two stared at each other, forgetting to get up.

“He’s awake, he’s awake, young master has awoken.” Leng Er saw Han Ming Yi open his eye and said in rejoice.

Du Xiao Li got up from Han Ming Yi and said, “I saved you again. This time, need to increase the price.”

“Young master, how are you?” Leng Yi helped Han Ming Yi up and asked.

“What happened just now?” Han Ming Yi asked.

“Young master had drowned just now, and had already stopped breathing. Unexpectedly, this little miss uh did that and that, and had you brought back to life.” Someone said.

Their master has never been close with a woman. All those beauties in the capital, not one did he fancy. Yet, unexpectedly, he lost his first kiss today.

Han Ming Yi thought of the soft sensation on his lips just now and his gaze flickered. Afterwards, he stood up and asked. “Why is there just the few of you?”

“Replying to young master, as soon as we saw the signal bomb, we hastily rushed over. But on the way, we came across a.s.sa.s.sins blocking the path. They covered for us while we came over first.” The one that gave Han Ming Yi first aid just now said.

Just then, another group of people came from the county seat. Quite a few of them had injuries on their body. With one look, one could tell that they’d gone through an intense battle just now.

After those people arrived, Du Xiao Li went over to the sh.o.r.e to collect her little satchel. Afterwards, she walked over to the river to clean off the blood on her dagger. Thinking back to that sensation of stabbing the dagger into someone’s heart earlier, Du Xiao Li felt that in that moment, she seemed to have returned to her past life again.

“Young master, Leng San, he…..” The bodyguards came before Han Ming Yi and knelt down. One among them even carried on his back a heavily injured and unconscious guard. The fresh blood flowed down from his body and dripped all the way here.

“Why is he bleeding this much!” Leng Er saw Leng San and asked.

“In order to let them be able to leave quicker, San blocked off those people with all his might. There were too many of them, so……” The one carrying Leng San said.

“Young master, please allow us to take Leng San to go find doctor Niu first.” Leng Shi, who was kneeling to the side, said.

The brothers with the starting character ‘Leng’, there were seven of them. These seven were as close as real brother. Right now, seeing Leng San on the brink of death, everyone were all very distressed.

“Alright, you all…..”

“No matter how good your qinggong is, before even reaching grandpa Niu’s place, he would have already died!” Just as Han Ming Yi nodded, Du Xiao Li came over after she’d finished washing her dagger, and said.

“Who are you? For what reason are you saying this!” Hearing Du Xiao Li’s words, the bodyguards that had rushed over just now all got angry.

“He’s already lost that much blood. Although you all bandaged his wounds for him, he still continued to bleed, meaning that he’s injured an artery. Moreover, it’s even a very important place. That’s why it’s useless to bandage.” Du Xiao Li said, “Going back from here, no matter how fast you all are, you would still need approximately a cup of tea’s time*. This is more than enough for him to die from excessive blood loss. Furthermore, if you’re carrying him on your back, when you’re flying, you’ll even press on him. Even if he won’t bleed to death, he’ll still be tossed and turned to death.”

(*T/N: Roughly 10 minutes)

Leng Er came to Du Xiao Li’s side, putting both hands on her shoulders, and said, “Girl, save him!”

Du Xiao Li lifted her head and looked to Leng Er, seeing the plead and sorrow in his eyes, and also a trace of fear. It was somewhat strange, but she still nodded her head and said, “Okay.”

“Thank you!” Leng Er said.

“You all put him onto the horse carriage.” Du Xiao Li said to those people.

Leng Shi and the others stood there, not moving.

“Have Leng San placed onto the horse carriage.” Leng Yi said.

“Yi!” Leng Shi didn’t understand why Leng Yi and Leng Er wanted it like this, not going to go find Niu Jing, but instead letting them listen to this little girl’s words.

Leng Yi walked over and patted Leng Wu, saying: “Don’t worry.”

Leng Wu looked to Leng Yi and stood there motionlessly. He still didn’t believe the words of a little girl.

“Do as she says.” Han Ming Yi opened his mouth.

“Young master….” Seeing that Han Ming Yi also spoke, Leng Wu could only have Leng San placed onto the carriage.

Although calling it a carriage, right now it only had the bottom wooden plank left. Leng San laid on top. Du Xiao Li went up and untied the bandages on his leg, exposing a nasty wound.

T/N: I think I mentioned in an earlier chapter before, but the bodyguards names are just Yi = one, Er = two, San = three, Shi = four, Wu = five, etc.
