Chapter 159 Artificial Respiration
At this time in Jiading Prefecture, the chief eunuch Chen Chen was outsmarting the Dali envoy and Zhao Sihan's uncle Duan Xingming.
This man was a young prince of Dali. When he saw that the Shenwei Army had withdrawn quickly and that waterways and trade had been opened, he thought he could do it without spending a penny. But how could it be so easy?
Chen Chen ordered his aide Yang Jicheng to draw up the list and talk first, and told him not to bargain, otherwise the share of the new city's taxes would be at a distance, and the Shenwei Army would have to close the trade.
This is the most important thing.
Duan Xingming didn't expect to meet such a tough guy, a woman who refused to give in. He had to compensate the Shenwei Army with 100,000 taels of silver and a certain amount of various losses in accordance with the treaty.
Chen Chen realized that his goal had been achieved, so he generously treated the young prince to a meal of Jiading's "qiaojiao beef" as a send-off.
The journey was long and Zhao Yulin was still sleeping in the cabin. If he knew that Chen Chen was really fighting for every penny, he would probably laugh out loud.
Suddenly, he felt a blow on his chest. He instinctively reached out to grab it, but heard a suppressed scream. He opened his eyes and saw Shunzhidi sitting on the edge of the couch. The girl was looking at him and said apologetically that she had dozed off and accidentally pressed on the third young master's chest.
He let go of his hand and asked, "Where is Li Chuan?"
Shunzhidi said that they took turns to look after the young master, and it was Li Chuan's turn to rest, so he should have fallen asleep.
Zhao Yulin stood up, picked up the little girl, put her on the couch and told her to close her eyes and sleep well while he went out to count the stars. Shunzhidi saw him go out and closed her eyes happily.
The chief steward of the official ship came to report to him that they were about to enter the Han River.
Zhao Yulin stood on the bow wearing a mink cape and looked out. The sky in the east was already turning pale, and it was almost dawn. The captain of the guard came over and told the brothers to take turns to pedal the boat, as this was already the limit of sailing.
He said he was already out, so there was no need to rush. Safety came first.
The manager told him that there were many reefs along the way after entering the Han River, and he had to slow down. Zhao Yulin nodded and said that the extra time had passed and there was no need to rush for good things.
The sky was full of morning glow and the sun was out. Zhao Yulin felt particularly relaxed looking at the colorful sky. He was about to go into the warehouse to call Shunzhidi to come and watch together, but he heard the soldiers shouting: There has been a shipwreck and someone has fallen into the water. Look quickly.
He followed the sound and saw many boxes, cabinets, planks and other things floating down from upstream. The brothers pointed at a floating black dot on the river and shouted that someone had fallen into the water.
Zhao Yulin grabbed the telescope hanging on the captain's chest and looked through it. It was indeed a person dressed as a woman who had fallen into the water.
Seeing that it was floating from upstream and was about to hit their boat, the captain of the guard asked him what to do?
The captain of the guard is a bit stubborn. The only thing on his mind is the protection of Zhao Yulin, and everything else seems to have nothing to do with him.
Zhao Yulin glared at him and said: What should we do? Save people.
He quickly took off his coat, jumped into the icy river and swam towards the person who fell into the water.
The guards on the boat panicked, yelled, and then jumped into the water to swim towards him. The river water was icy cold, and everyone gritted their teeth and paddled hard.
Zhao Yulin had already swam to the person who fell into the water, and grabbed her, revealing that she was a little girl. He pulled her and swam towards the official ship. The guards and he worked together to drag the girl onto the boat. The little girl was unable to move at this time.
The guards kept saying that the person was 99% dead and there was no way to save him, and that they were just fishing out a body. Shunzhidi and the little maid, who had just left the warehouse, burst into tears.
Zhao Yulin rubbed his stiff hands and reached into the girl's chest to feel it carefully. He felt that it was still warm, so he asked her to be carried to the bow immediately and placed with her head down and her feet high. He asked Shunzhidi to get a piece of silk cloth to cover the girl's mouth and perform artificial respiration.
Shunzhidi had just seen her touching the girl's private parts, and her face had turned red with shame, her eyes had already been blazing with anger. She angrily took out a handkerchief and threw it at him.
Zhao Yulin was so focused on saving people that he didn't notice her reaction.
Nowadays, touching a girl's breast is considered to be a violation of her sexual integrity and is a serious issue concerning her reputation.
At this moment, Zhao Yulin had been performing artificial respiration with all his might, breathing in and out repeatedly for hundreds of times, but the girl still did not respond. He called for the guards to come and help, but they all stayed away.
He didn't know that these people, watching him perform mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration in an almost obscene manner, were already doubting whether he was still the noble Third Young Master in their minds.
Zhao Yulin did not give up. He tidied up the girl's clothes and performed external chest massage.
The brothers around saw him kissing the girl's mouth, touching her private part, and pressing her breasts hard. They thought the Third Young Master was too lustful and would not even let go of a female corpse. Shunzhidi was so angry that she ran into the cabin and started crying.
Zhao Yulin was so focused on saving people that he turned a blind eye.
Not only did no one fight back, he also forced himself to keep pressing the little girl's chest, controlling his strength and repeating the action repeatedly.
Finally, the little girl who fell into the water spat out a large mouthful of water with a loud noise, followed by another mouthful, and then she woke up.
He shouted excitedly, "She's alive." He bent down and gave her artificial respiration. The little girl actually spat out the water she had swallowed and asked him to breathe it into his mouth.
After Zhao Yulin vomited everything, he saw the girl he had just rescued staring at him angrily. Knowing that she was safe, he stood up, stretched his limbs, and went into the cabin without looking back.
The brothers at the bow were already excited. Wow, it's amazing. The third young master is really a miracle doctor. He can even bring the dead back to life. It's amazing.
Shunzhidi was also surprised. She ran to pull the girl up, and together with her maid helped her into the cabin to change clothes.
Zhao Yulin walked into his cabin and took a rest. He touched his wet body and then remembered that he had jumped into the water to save someone and had not changed his clothes yet.
When he came out after changing his clothes, Li Chuan had already brought him a bowl of ginger soup. He reached out to take it, walked over to drink the soup with his brothers, and told them the key points of rescuing someone who fell into the water.
The brothers actually laughed and said they saw it clearly. First, you have to blow air into the mouth, and then touch and press with your hands.
He looked at his brothers' smirking expressions and kicked them.
Oh, damn, a soldier is a soldier. After getting familiar with him, I actually dared to make dirty jokes with him.
Zhao Yulin could not help sneezing twice, knowing that he had caught a cold, so he asked the captain of the guard to bring some grains of rice, and asked everyone going into the water to eat a few mouthfuls to ward off the cold. He himself also drank a few mouthfuls and went into the cabin to lie down.
Zhao Yulin had just closed his eyes in a daze when he felt the boat stop.
Li Chuan came in and told him that the Jingzhou army was inspecting and asked us if we were rescuing anyone who had fallen into the water after a shipwreck.
Zhao Yulin said to report truthfully, and if they were saved, then they would be saved, and we didn’t need any Tibetans.
During this question and answer, there was already a commotion on the shore, and several young people on the dock were crying and clamoring to get on his warship.
He asked Li Chuan to get off the boat and inquire, only to find out that these people were all from Lin'an Prefecture, a total of twenty-one people. Because they envied and yearned for the Shenwei Army, they collected money and took a passenger ship to join the Shenwei Army, but unexpectedly their ship sank in the Han River.
There were seven more who were rescued on the spot. He asked the captain of the guard to go down and handle the formalities, and then put them all into the warship and continued on their journey.
At this time, the West Lake in Lin'an had already become lively.
A group of children from the lakeside families , led by a young man named Hongsheng, secretly took their family's money and chartered a boat to Hanzhong.
The person who made the greatest contribution here was Kuang Sisi's beloved daughter Zhao Feiyan. Zhao Feiyan was the name given to his daughter by the emperor, and her name among the people was another one. People living near the West Lake called her Xiao Yan and Swallow.
Yan Zi was a cautious person. She had long been tired of the underground life with a hidden identity and she admired and yearned for the Shenwei Army very much. When she heard in the academy that Hong Sheng and others were going to find the Shenwei Army together, she immediately joined in, secretly took out three ingots of gold from her home to join the group, and became the largest investor in this journey to Hanzhong.
When every household learned that their baby had run away, they cried and screamed, and immediately panicked, starting to use all kinds of tricks to find the baby.
When Kuang Sisi learned that her swallows had flown away, she immediately collapsed to the ground, unable to even cry.
There are people who are more anxious than her. Luo Mingqiu, who was protecting Zhao Feiyan in makeup, feels that his luck is so bad. He has just been working for two days and the person is gone. What should he do?
He hurried into the palace to report.
Zhao Yulin caught a cold after bravely rescuing a drowning man and has been staying in the cabin. Shunzhidi brought him ginger soup. He sat up and drank the soup and asked where Li Chuan was.
Shunzhidi told him that Li Chuan had gone to prepare some delicious food. She said: The woman who fell into the water is now back, but she just refuses to speak. However, she was wearing rare and high-quality silks and satins, and had a big gold phoenix pendant around her neck. She must be a lady from a wealthy family.
Zhao Yulin smiled and said calmly that if one wears a golden phoenix, he will be considered a wealthy family. You are also a girl from a wealthy family, so why don’t you wear one?
The girl's expression immediately darkened, and she said weakly, "We are not rich. How can we earn as much money in the city as we do in the mountains?"
Shunzhidi saw that he had finished drinking, so she took the bowl of soup and left.
Haha, Zhao Yulin doesn’t know how to speak, and he made the girl angry.
After Li Chuan got some food, he told him that they were almost in Xiangyang. He called the captain of the guard and told him to rest for a day before leaving.
The young man said happily that everyone wanted to see Xiangyang City. It was said that the city wall was tall and big, with many gates. He said there were even bigger ones, and in the future he would go to Luoyang, Kaifeng and Lin'an City to see them all.
Zhao Yulin asked Li Chuan not to let Shunzhidi keep watch at night. What was the point of a grown woman serving him by his bed?
How will people get married in the future?
Li Chuan said with a smile that she would marry the young master in the future, so there was nothing wrong with it, and it was Miss Zhidi who wanted to come herself.
He glared at Li Chuan and said it was still early, they could talk about the future later and just focus on the present.
In the cabin on the second floor, Shunzhidi and her maid were talking to Xiao Yan.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was able to get out of bed, she helped her to the window to look at the river view.
Xiao Yan covered her lips angrily and said: When he opened his eyes, he saw a big pervert kissing her, blowing air into her mouth, and touching her breasts. It was so embarrassing.
Where's that big pervert? I'm going to kill him.
