The Survival Rules of an Unfavored Daughter

  Actually, I also want to proudly say it's my masterpiece, but that would give people a ruthless and vicious impression. I was determined not to admit it even if I died. But now, Linglong this silly girl has exposed everything, she can't even pretend to be weak anymore. I couldn't help but glare at her, this good-for-nothing who always causes trouble.

  Li Xiu's guards heard that it was Ruoqing's masterpiece, and they looked at Ruoqing with suspicion and fear. Some thought that Ruoqing, a weak and delicate woman, could actually handle two ferocious and ruthless Tartars, some didn't quite believe it, but others thought that Ruoqing was indeed worthy of being Fang Zhongyi's sister, truly a case of "tiger brother no dog sister".

  Tiger brother and dog sister?

  Li Xian laughed so hard he almost choked.

  "It can't be helped, I didn't want it to be like this either, but it's an emergency measure."

  Li Xiao smiled and said: "Why are you pretending to be afraid that others will know how powerful you are?"

  Her heart was empty, just now she had done artificial respiration with Li Xu, the bodyguards of both sides looked at them with ambiguous and complicated eyes, she only wanted to leave quickly and get far away from Li Xu.

  A steep and precipitous slope, Li Xiao and others, although they were all injured, still managed to climb up with ease, but it was a different story for Ru Qing, who had already exhausted his strength, and this time he struggled to climb.

  Li Xiang also had some injuries on his body, but they were all minor ones. As a martial artist, he was already used to wounds, but seeing Ruqing struggling like this was unbearable. He wanted to help her up, but she pushed him away, "Thank you for your kindness, King Wang, I can still walk."

  She saw that her face, elbows, ankles and all over her body were covered in bruises and bloodstains, especially with half of her face swollen. She looked really miserable, but still tried to put on a strong front despite having no energy left. Just as he was about to reach out to pull her up the slope, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes echoing through the air like thunder. Upon looking over, they saw a troop approaching with a banner bearing the character "Fang". It turned out that reinforcements had arrived. Immediately after, she also caught sight of Zhī Yì's figure, and her heart was filled with indescribable excitement. She rushed towards the cavalry, waving her hands wildly and jumping up to shout at the leader of the group who was rushing towards her: "Brother! Brother, I'm over here!"

  Li Xiang saw her so joyful, especially when she called out "brother", it was as if Ruoxi was calling him, and he felt a pang in his heart. At this moment, he had an illusion that he wished he was the one riding the horse to come to her rescue.

  Li Xuan's eyes dimmed, and he withdrew the hand that had been reaching out to Ruoxi, then clenched it and let it fall to his side.

  When Zhiyi saw Ruqing, his face changed greatly, and he rushed down from the horse. With a few quick movements, he picked up Ruqing in a horizontal hug. Ruqing buried her face in Zhiyi's chest, wrapped her arms around his neck, and refused to let go, crying loudly.

  "Brother, you've finally come, little sister thought she would never see her brother again."

  Zhīyì tightly hugged her, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her, saying: "Brother, my face hurts, my hands hurt, my feet hurt, my head hurts, my whole body hurts."

  Her face was swollen on one side, her lips were also swollen, and there were many scratches on her face. The clothes that were fine when she went out are now in a mess.

  Zhi Yi's heart ached and he hastily said, "Alright alright, brother will immediately take you back to the General's residence, to nurse your wounds properly." As he spoke, he pulled out his cloak and wrapped it around Ru Qing, embracing her in his arms. Only after Zhi Qing got on the warhorse did he turn his horse's head around, ordering his soldiers as they followed him. On one hand, he deployed the vanguard camp to rush to the aid of various mountain passes, while on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers on duty to search and inspect along the way.

  As the emotions were understood, the tight nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed, and her eyelids felt heavy. Her whole body felt numb and painful, but unfortunately, she was drenched from head to toe. She wanted to sleep but didn't dare to... The medical conditions in ancient times were backward, and if she caught a cold, the pain of taking medicine was not to be said, and if it became serious, it would be miserable. She cherished her life very much.

  Back at the general's mansion, after a flurry of busy activity, Zhiyi invited a doctor to come and give Ruoqing medicine. He also made a bowl of medicine to prevent wind and cold, which Ruoqing drank. Then, Zhou Mama used medicinal wine to clean her body, causing her to scream in pain like a slaughtered pig. At that time, there was no iodine for disinfection or anti-inflammatory drugs; instead, they used old high-proof liquor, which both disinfected and reduced inflammation when applied to the wound, causing a burning pain that almost reached the bone.

  I wanted to ask Mother Zhou to spare her, just roughly wiping and applying medicine would do, but Mother Zhou was even more severe than the old lady, leaving no room for negotiation. She ordered several women to hold Ruoqing down on the bed and carefully wiped her all over again. Ruoqing's body indeed had many wounds, abrasions from being scraped by stones, and many purple bruises. On her delicate skin, it was even more heart-wrenching. Mother Zhou felt so sorry for her that she couldn't bear it, and the other women were also moved to pity by Ruoqing's ear-piercing screams, repeatedly advising Mother Zhou to show mercy. Mother Zhou's scalp was numb from Ruoqing's screams, and her ears were ringing. But behind the embroidered screen of the "Know Righteousness" painting, Zhiyi's voice was as hard as iron: "Don't be lazy, you must first use wine to clean the wounds."

  As if in extreme pain, tears and snot flowed wildly. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but beg loudly: "Brother, it really hurts so much! Waaah... don't wipe anymore, okay? Waaah..."

  A gentle voice came from behind the screen: "Okay, sister, bear with it a bit longer. Although they are just minor injuries, if you're not careful, they can become serious troubles. It's better to suffer for a short time than to drag out the pain."

  "But it really hurts... Ah, Zhou Mama, gently, gently..." As she spoke, her face scrunched up in pain, and with this cry, the wound on her face cracked open again, causing her almost to pass out from the pain.

  Half an hour later, Aunt Zhou finally finished washing the wounds all over Ruoqing's body and applied medicine. She was also exhausted, sweating profusely, and almost fainted as she sat on the edge of the bed, bitterly smiling, "The young lady has returned from outside, her strength is much better than before."

  After applying the medicine all over her body, although the wound still hurts like a burning fire, it's much better than earlier when she directly applied wine to it. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but bitterly smile: "Who said I didn't have the strength? I single-handedly took down two Tartars." This was indeed one of her most impressive achievements.

  Suddenly thinking of something again, she asked Mother Zhou: "Xiang Xiang, Ling Long, and Qin Er, the three of them were also injured quite a bit. Mother Zhou, didn't you send someone to give them medicine?"

  "Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Xue helped out back then. It's nothing serious, Miss, just be careful with your injury."

  As soon as the wound was heard, Yu Xue had already passed by, and she was afraid that Yu Xue would be careless and neglect to clean the wound thoroughly. She said again: "It's still better to trouble Zhou Mama to go over and lie down in person, and use wine water to wash the wound thoroughly, which is more secure."

  Zhou's mother lost her smile, "Who was it just now that refused to clean the wound? Now you can't wait for others to suffer with you."
