I am engaged in construction in Datang

It was hot in early August, and the willow leaves by the lake were curled up. It was noon, and the people had all gone home to rest.

East City Lake.

He Qizhen's face was pale, her lips were dry from the sun, her hair was greasy and messy, and her eyes were dull.

"Young lady, what are you doing? You are so old, go home and have a rest." An old lady selling vegetables packed up her things and called out to the girl as she left.

"Yeah." He Qizhen said softly, "I'll go back later."

After the vegetable-selling lady left, vendors selling melons, bamboo weavings, and clay figurines closed their stalls one after another. Dehydration can be fatal.

The summer breeze brings with it heat waves, the flowers bloom and the cicadas sing, the world is pure white and hot, and the lake water is fishy, ​​damp and cold.

"Someone jumped into the lake!"

"Hurry up and save him! Anyone who can swim, please save him!"

"Damn it, something bad has happened these past two days."

"Fill up this lake, it eats people all day long!"

"Come on, I have a rope."

……

Female village.

Lu Liangxi rode over on horseback, and without even bothering to greet Li Shimin and the other man, she hurriedly grabbed Li Yin.

"Master, He Qizhen jumped into the lake in East Market."

One thing is not over when another one arises. Li Yin feels that things are going against the grain in the village recently. "Tell me to go there first on horseback, and Director Lu, you can follow behind."

"Bring me my medicine box."

Lu Liangxi nodded and ran towards the stable. She had to get another horse. Xiaoqiu went to get the medicine box.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other and stood up.

This is a matter of life and death, there is no reason for them to just sit here and wait.

In Dongshi, He Qizhen lay quietly by the lake, her jet-black braids spread out, the red hairband long gone.

Lin Shuisheng stood aside, sweating anxiously.

He was the one who rescued the person, but now the young lady looked pale and had no breath, and it seemed that she was dying.

What a good-looking person, why can't I get over it?

"Make way, Master Li is coming."

"Everyone, get out of the way, don't block the road, and ask the owner to save people!"

Lin Shuisheng heard shouting in the distance, looked up, and saw a maroon horse running towards him with a young lady in shorts sitting on the horse's back.

It’s Li Yin!

Lin Shuisheng was filled with hope. Master Li had arrived and the young lady was saved!

"How long did he drown? How long did it take to be rescued?" Li Yin turned over and got off the horse. This horse was not the small mare she usually rode. The horse's back was a little high.

"She was drowning for no more than half a quarter of an hour. I passed by and saw her and rescued her immediately. It was more than a quarter of an hour." Lin Shui was afraid that he didn't explain it clearly enough, so he added: "I checked her nose and mouth, and there was no mud or sand blocking it."

Li Yin calculated that it was ten miles from the city to the village, and the round trip by horseback would take less than twenty minutes, so if someone sent a fast horse to deliver the message as soon as he fell into the water, he would still be able to make it in time.

Li Yin asked Lin Shuisheng to help turn He Qizhen over, and then put her on Lin Shuisheng's thighs, first pouring water on her, and then performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

The people around dispersed and left space for the patient as Li Yin suggested.

Then they saw Master Li first pressing the woman's chest, and then kissing her...

Oh, this is what the barefoot doctor manual says, about cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration.

Is this okay?

Everyone was quiet and no one dared to disturb.

There were shops for the common people in the East Market, so he went back to get a bowl of hot water. In case the young lady woke up, would she need to rinse her mouth?

"Cough, cough..."

"Qizhen!" Li Yin patted the other person's cheek: "He Qizhen! Wake up!"

He Qizhen had her eyes half open, still unconscious.

Fortunately, the person did not choke on water for too long, otherwise she would not have been able to save him even if she had three heads and six arms.

"Wake up! Really wake up!"

"Then the cardio and breathing method really works!"

"That's CPR and artificial respiration."

"It's amazing. I want to learn it later."

After about seven or eight minutes, He Qizhen slowly came back to her senses. The first person she saw was Li Yin, and her eyes gradually became blurred.

"Does your lungs feel uncomfortable?" Li Yin pulled a piece of cotton cloth from the medicine box and helped He Qizhen wipe the lake water and tears off her face.

He Qizhen said nothing, just cried and shook her head.

"If you continue to be depressed, I will be really sad." Li Yin was so tired that she sat down on the grass.

She was small and weak, and after she finished the first aid, her arms and legs were almost broken.

"Look at me, I remember you so clearly. After all, I was the one who gave you the name." Li Yin glanced at her and smiled, "He Qizhen, you are so precious, how can you not cherish yourself?"

Hearing this, He Qizhen's eyes were filled with tears again: "Master, I'm sorry."

"Come, sit up." Li Yin moved her numb wrist and then helped the other person up.

"I want to give you a gift today."

As soon as Li Yin finished speaking, a team of soldiers came over to clear the area. The people gave up their places and stood farther away to watch the fun.

An unpleasant sound came from far away.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

"Please forgive me. I was confused for a moment. I was drunk."

"I don't dare anymore..."

Several soldiers came over with a dirty man. The man looked like he had been tortured and his whole body was covered with bruises.

When they arrived in front of the men, the soldier forced the man to his knees.

"Be quiet, or I'll pull out your tongue if you keep yelling."

The man shut up instantly and didn't dare to say another word.

"Qizhen, how to deal with this today depends entirely on you." Li Yin looked at the other party with encouragement in her eyes.

This person intended to push her to death and she was destined not to survive.

Drinking alcohol only magnifies what you think, it does not change your character like a magic potion.

Li Yin kept him just to resolve He Qizhen's emotional knot.

He Qizhen slowly stood up by supporting herself on the grass, and she staggered to the man.

"Huang Sanli." He Qizhen spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant from choking.

"My mother sold me to you for five strings of cash, six hundred coins. For a year, you beat and scolded me and forced me to stay with you. We have never had any loving relationship as husband and wife. Hatred is easy to form but hard to resolve."

He Qizhen lifted up her clothes and pants, and the people around her all gasped.

Where have you ever seen a young lady act like this?

"It is difficult to get rid of the blood relationship with Ye Niang. Five strings of cash and six hundred coins are considered Qizhen's filial piety in giving birth to and raising her. From now on, Qizhen no longer owes Ye Niang a penny."

He Qizhen took the purse handed over by Lu Liangxi, counted out five taels and six taels of silver, and threw it at Huang Sanli's feet: "I owe you five strings of six hundred coins, and I will pay you back today."

After that, He Qizhen picked up a stone from the lake and threw it at Huang Sanli: "You owe me a year of beatings and scoldings, and I'm going to get it back today!"

Huang Sanli couldn't hold it in any longer. If he didn't speak up, he would be hit by this crazy woman.

"Do you dare to hit me?"

"He Jianmei, you are my wife, and you still want to rebel?"

"Ouch!" Huang Sanli was hit by He Qizhen and screamed in pain: "He Jianmei!"

"My name is He Qizhen!"

She became furious and hit Huang Sanli again and again. After venting her anger, she took a letter from Lu Liangxi and threw it in front of Huang Sanli.

"Huang Sanli, this is a divorce letter. From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore."

The soldier who was escorting Huang Sanli simply asked him to dip his finger in blood and pressed it on him while he was wailing.

The farce finally ended, Huang Sanli was taken away, and his feud with He Qizhen ended, but the feud with him for trying to push Li Yin away was not over yet.

The crowd around the lake gradually dispersed; this absurd thing was bound to spread quickly.

"Master." He Qizhen calmed down and said, "The woolen yarn factory is going to expand and recruit workers..."

Her voice was hoarse but firm: "Tell me to go!"

"I'll go recruit those girls."
