Chapter 431: The Educated Youth Cousin in the Historical Literature (1)
In darkness.
Lin Xi felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. Her limbs felt like they were filled with lead and were hanging down heavily. Even lifting a finger was difficult.
My limbs were soft and even my fingertips were numb. The slightest movement caused a slight tingling sensation in my joints, as if countless tiny needles were moving under my skin.
She tried to curl up her body, but as soon as she moved, she was suddenly hit by a dizziness, and the world was spinning, as if she was thrown into a boiling whirlpool.
Although her body was terribly hot, cold sweat oozed out of her back layer by layer, soaking her clothes and making them stick to her body, making her shiver violently despite the extreme heat.
"Lin Xi? Lin Xi?"
A sound came through the thick fog, as if it came from far away and yet seemed to be very close, and it drilled into my ears intermittently.
Lin Xi wanted to respond, but every breath she took was like swallowing a ball of fire. Her throat was so dry that it hurt. Her lips moved for a long time, but in the end only a faint, almost inaudible sound came out from between her lips and teeth.
"Um--"
The person who called her didn't hear her response, so he couldn't help but raise his voice a little, and there was a hint of anxiety in his tone.
"Lin Xi! Lin Xi!"
Lin Xi felt a slightly cool touch on her forehead, and then the touch trembled violently, followed by a noisy sound in Lin Xi's ears.
Some people were screaming, some were pacing, and there was a teeth-grinding sound of wooden boards opening and closing.
She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were hot and heavy, as if they were pressed by hot lead, and every slight tremor drained all her strength.
After a long time of grogginess, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Lin Xi felt someone gently lifted her up, with a warm support on her back. Her head tilted weakly to one side, and her consciousness was still in chaos until a hard object pressed against her cracked lips.
The warm liquid flowed into her mouth, and at that moment, her dry throat was like dry soil that had been dry for a long time and finally came down with rain, and she instinctively loosened her clenched teeth.
But the next moment, a strong bitterness exploded on the tip of the tongue, like a handful of coarse sand scraping across the taste buds - it was the medicine.
She frowned suddenly and subconsciously wanted to hide, but her body went against her will - the burning sensation deep in her throat drove her to swallow almost greedily, even though every bite was bitter and trembling.
The medicine slid down her throat, the bitterness burning all the way into her stomach, but the slightly cool water soothed her burning throat like a sweet rain. Only after she swallowed the last mouthful did she relax her frown as if she had lost strength.
The sickening bitter taste still lingered on the tip of my tongue, but the burning pain in my throat had finally eased a little.
Her body was slowly laid flat, and the soft pillow supported her heavy head.
Suddenly, I felt a cool touch on my forehead - it was a handkerchief soaked in cold water.
The damp coolness seeped into her burning skin, causing her to let out a hoarse sigh unconsciously.
Her tense nerves finally relaxed, and even the last bit of strength to open her eyes was taken away, and she allowed herself to sink into chaos.
There was a faint sound of low conversation beside her ears, but it turned into intermittent and unclear sentences when it reached her ears.
"Take good care of yourself, tomorrow..."
"trouble……"
I don't know how much time had passed. Perhaps it was because the bitter medicine began to flow into her blood, or perhaps this body had finally used up its last bit of strength. A warm feeling of fatigue spread from her limbs and bones, slowly drowning her like a tide.
In the last moment before her consciousness faded, the teeth-grinding creaking of wooden boards sounded again, becoming the last sound she heard before falling into darkness.
