I'm really not an old sword

My right thigh was paralyzed by the venom and I couldn't feel anything at all when I closed my eyes. I just thought of it as sleeping and waking up to detoxify automatically.

Fujimoto thought to himself in a self-deceiving way.

But this man actually buried his head in it, and her left leg could feel his hair prickling her. How could Fujimoto pretend nothing happened? She opened her eyes and saw this scene. She seemed to faint when she heard the sucking sound. Tears were dripping from her beautiful eyes that were still misty, and she cried out "wow" with a pout.

Dirty! Totally dirty!

Lin Qingsu sucked for a long time and finally sucked out some venom.

I took a sip of the venom on the tip of my tongue, and my tongue felt numb and my head was dizzy.

It's not very toxic.

It is an extremely slow-acting poison. I guess those spiders don't want to eat dead human flesh, so they use poison just to make hunting easier and to make the spiders more attractive.

'Tear! '

Lin Qingsu tore her lining into pieces, wrapped it around her thighs and tied it tightly to prevent the venom from spreading.

After disinfecting and cleaning the wound again, Lin Qingsu finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head.

"Nothing, just take a rest..."

Lin Qingsu paused and looked at her suspiciously: "...Hmm? Are you okay?"

The noble girl was lying on the ground on her side, her long, inky hair spread out on the ground like a bed of clouds, her eyes staring blankly into the distance.

Hearing this, she raised her head slightly and looked at him with empty eyes.

"just kill me."

Chapter 7 A girl’s life is always unexpected

"Why would I kill you?" Lin Qingsu said guiltily.

Once the doctor's sense of mission came to him, he forgot what era he was living in and had no sense of boundaries at all.

But doctors in this era should have a stronger concept of "medicine is for both men and women."

Or are there still female doctors in this era?

"You are unwilling to take responsibility for me because of me. I know you want to save me, but..."

Fujihara's eyes were empty: "If that's the case, you might as well kill me."

Lin Qingsu started to have a headache. She rubbed her temples and thought for a while: "Tell me why you and that Fujiwara Nobutaka are getting married?"

Fujihara's eyes dropped slightly.

Lin Qingsu said again: "Maybe I can help you."

As he spoke, Lin Qingsu sat back down by the campfire and began to prepare the venison.

After a while, the meat was placed on the fire, the fat made crackling sounds, and the aroma drifted far away.

Fujimoto felt very aggrieved. Not only did this man slander her innocence, but he was also so cold and indifferent afterwards.

She wanted to die, but after calming down, she thought about the kindness of her father and brother in raising her, and the despair of being eaten by the giant spider. Fujimoto realized that she did not have the courage to commit suicide. She wiped her eyes, stood up silently and walked to the corner.

"come on."

Fujimoto buried her head even deeper, motionless like a camel.

"Or you should let me catch you myself."

Fujimoto couldn't help crying when she heard this: "How can you be so vulgar!"

"Come here." Lin Qingsu had a heart of stone.

Fujimoto pouted, touched her wet little face, stood up aggrievedly, and limped to the fire.

She didn't dare sit down next to Lin Qingsu, but she was afraid that he would get angry and do something to her.

Finally, Fujimoto chose a seat half a person away from Lin Qingsu and sat down carefully.

"Eat." Lin Qingsu handed her the roasted meat.

Fujihara frowned and looked at the meat.

Although she loved eating meat, the servants at home would cut the meat into small pieces and put them on a plate for her. The meat was cooked very beautifully, with good color, aroma and taste. No one would just stuff a large piece of leg meat into her mouth like he did.

It’s several times bigger than her fist!

However, Fujimoto didn't dare to resist him. She could only take the barbecue with grievance, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to take a small bite.

There was no seasoning, it was just grilled with the flavor of the venison itself, and it had no taste.

After taking a bite, Fujimoto didn't want to eat anymore, but he was afraid that Lin Qingsu would think that she disliked the meat he roasted and get angry, so he held it up carefully and with great effort, staring at the campfire in a daze.

I really want to throw the meat directly into it.

"If you can't finish it, give it to me." Lin Qingsu stretched out her lower hand.

"You!" Fujimoto was annoyed. "How vulgar!"

Lin Qingsu turned and looked at her.

Looking into the man's dark eyes, Fujiharako's courage instantly disappeared, and she carefully handed him the barbecue she had taken a few bites of.

The man took the barbecue and started eating, which made Fujimoto feel angry and embarrassed.

Is that the spot I just bit? Did this person just eat it straight away? How obscene!

"Tell me about you and Fujiwara Nobutaka."

"No..." Fujimoto muttered softly.

"Ok?"

"Did not say!"

Fujimoto got angry.

There was no response, not even the sound of chewing.

The only sounds in my ears were the crackling of the burning wood and the howling of the night wind through the treetops.

Is he gone?

Fujihara raised her head in panic and saw the expressionless face and the eyes reflecting her.

Fujiwara no Narumiko immediately lowered her head again and whispered, "Fujiwara no Nobutaka is a high-ranking official in the court..."

"How is your relationship with Master Fujiwara?" Lin Qingsu asked.

Fujimoto raised her head and looked at him blankly, as if wondering why he would ask such a question.

Seeing that Lin Qingsu seemed to be asking a real question rather than teasing her, she slowly replied: "Fujiwara no Michinaga is the patriarch of the Fujiwara clan, and his daughter is the Empress. Fujiwara no Michinaga himself is now firmly at the top of the court nobles, almost no different from the Chancellor."

"Although Lord Fujiwara no Nobutaka holds a high official position, the rank of Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Right Guardian, he cannot be compared to Lord Michinaga."

"Although Fujiwara no Nobutaka's surname is Fujiwara, he is only more powerful than our family. The Taoist priest may just know that there is such a person."

Lin Qingsu asked, "Who is stronger, Minamoto no Yorimitsu or Fujiwara no Nobutaka?"

"Of course it's Master Minamoto no Yorimoto."

Fujiwara no Namiko said without hesitation, "The Minamoto clan is the royal family and the pillar of our Heian dynasty. Countless great shoguns throughout the dynasties have come from the Minamoto clan. Now, the three Minamoto brothers are each guarding a region, and Lord Yorihiru is the patriarch of the Minamoto clan. Not to mention Fujiwara no Nobunaga, even Lord Fujiwara no Michinaga must treat Lord Yorihiru with courtesy."

"So do you want to marry him?"

Fujiharako, who had been beaming with joy since the conversation began with Genrai Kou, suddenly looked gloomy. "What's the point of me wanting it or not?"

"Then how about this? I'll write a letter to Minamoto no Yoriyuki. Then you can go to the capital to find Minamoto no Yoriyuki and give him the letter. He will help you break off the engagement." Lin Qingsu said, "As for what happened today, let's write it off. How about that?"

"You know Minamoto no Yoriyuki... No, you know Lord Minamoto no Yorimitsu?!" Fujimoto looked at him in shock.

"Ah."

Lin Qingsu raised her hand and a light breeze blew the leaves towards him. When they were almost in front of him, the green leaves flashed and suddenly turned into pure white paper.

"This is?!"

"Just low-level alchemy."

The principle is very basic, but it requires a lot of mana so not many people learn it.

But Lin Qingsu has plenty of magic power.

While Fujihara was surprised that Lin Qingsu made a piece of paper with a wave of her hand, Lin Qingsu had already finished writing, folded it and handed it to her.

"Then you can have someone take this letter to Minamoto no Yoriyuki."

"Oh." Fujimoto nodded blankly, then asked curiously, "Can you tell me how you met Minamoto no Yorimitsu?"

"Sorry, this is a secret between her and me. The only person I can tell you is that we saved each other once."

Although it was just a few words, the girl who was good at imagining things had already imagined the plot of a storybook in that instant.

A valiant female general and a handsome young wandering swordsman met by chance. Due to various coincidences and misunderstandings, they supported each other through difficulties under enemy threat, gradually falling in love with each other. Eventually, they overcame the difficulties and were forced to temporarily separate for various reasons. At a fork in the road, they promised to meet again in Kyoto after achieving success...

No wonder he looks down on me.

"Thank you."

Lin Qingsu waved her hand and started eating the barbecue with peace of mind.

Now that the engagement issue was resolved, Fujimoto's mood improved.

The whistling sound of the wind, the rustling of the bushes, and the sound of the man chewing meat...

The noble girl felt that everything in the world was so beautiful.

He secretly looked at Lin Qingsu's face, which was reflected in the firelight as she happily ate the not-so-tasty meat.

seems to be laughing.

Is eating a happy thing?

The noble girl didn't understand.

But when she thought about how her lips would curl up involuntarily just by looking at him, she began to understand a little.

Perhaps for him, what he does is not important, what is important is the mood of enjoying life;

For her, what she does is not important, what is important is who she is with.

Hugging my knees, I secretly looked at him while looking at the bonfire and the scenery.

She suddenly felt very conflicted.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu and he seemed like a perfect match, a man of talent and beauty. Just thinking about it made her want to write a story to describe their "love," but...

The girl who had just overcome the first difficulty in her life fell into another difficulty that was inevitable in life.

......

"Sir, Fujiwara no Nobutaka requests an audience."

Sitting at the table was a young man who looked to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Unlike his youthful appearance, his eyes are as calm as water.

"Fujiwara Nobutaka?"

Fujiwara no Michinaga was still looking at the book, but he was slightly focused, as if he was wondering who Fujiwara no Nobutaka was.

After a while, he found this person from his memory and said slowly, "He came to see me?"

"Yes, one of his concubines who was about to marry into the family was captured by giant spiders on the way to the capital last night."

"If you're caught, you're dead..."

Fujiwara no Michinaga suddenly frowned.

After thinking for a moment, his tone became slightly more curious: "Last night? Who reported the news?"

It’s not been one or two days since giant spiders attacked passersby on the official road.

Every time they commit a crime, they leave no survivors. Only villagers who happen to pass by and see them catching prey and returning to their nests, or people whose families are slow to come to Kyoto, will report the crime. Now that Abe Haruaki and Minamoto no Raikou are away and monsters are everywhere, even he is unable to cope with them.

"He's the one who escorted the concubine."

"They said they happened upon a young black-haired swordsman who rescued their young lady, and for some reason the spiders went crazy and chased after him as soon as they saw him, so they survived."

Fujiwara no Michinaga uttered a soft "Huh?" "Young black-haired swordsman?"
