C169 Someone Is in the Dark
"Hey, it smells so bad. I don't want to drink it." Han Ying smelled the medicine that Lin Yi brought over and her facial features wrinkled into a ball. She looked at the black water in the bowl with disgust and kept a distance away.
"You are a doctor. Why would you dislike the smell of the medicine? You should know that it is a good medicine." Lin Yi held the medicine and played with Han Ying.
"What does good medicine with bad medicine have to do with bad medicine?" Han Ying continued to hide and covered her nose with her hands.
"The more stinky it is, the more bitter it will be. Wouldn't it be related to the medicine?" Lin Yi explained tirelessly as he chased after Han Ying.
"Alright, don't say anymore. I won't drink it. You see, I can jump and run. It is already fine. It doesn't matter if I don't drink the medicine." Han Ying's face looked as ugly as if she had already drunk medicine.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the normally fearless Big Miss Han would actually be afraid of drinking bitter medicine." Lin Yi stood still and took the opportunity to laugh at Han Ying.
Han Ying tilted her face to the side. "It is not bitter. To correct it, it is stinky. This medicine is too smelly."
"After drinking this, I guarantee that you will be more alive and kicking than today. Trust me." Lin Yi patiently advised.
Han Ying did not fall for it. "No need. I am fine like this. Why don't you help me drink it?"
Lin Yi stared at her with wide eyes. "You can help me with the medicine?"
"Yes, or you can also choose to help me pour it out. Anyway, I won't drink it." Han Ying revealed her charming smile and winked at Lin Yi.
"You don't need to play the beauty trick on me. You are now in front of me. It is completely transparent. I have been looking at it for a week. I... " As Lin Yi spoke, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was just thinking about how he was going to rectify what he had said.
Han Ying's smile disappeared. She knew what Lin Yi had said and what he wanted to express.
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Lin Yi's hand that was holding the bowl was actually numb, but because of the atmosphere, he did not know if he should put it down or hold it. It was as if time had stopped at this moment.
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, Lin Yi called out. He put the bowl on the table in front of him and ran to the window in two steps.
Han Ying thought Lin Yi wanted to ease the atmosphere, but the reason he found was a little far-fetched, so she said to Lin Yi, "Okay, just pretend that you did not say what you just said. I forgive you."
"Ah, what forgiveness?" Lin Yi stuck his head out of the window and looked at Han Ying in confusion.
"I said okay. Didn't you feel that what you said just now caused an awkward situation and wanted to resolve it? I already said I don't mind. I forgive you, but you still want to pretend, right?" Han Ying pinched her nose and sat at the table. She pushed the bowl of medicine as far away from her as possible.
"What are you pretending for? I didn't pretend. I really saw a figure flash past here just now." Lin Yi saw that Han Ying misunderstood him and tried his best to explain.
Only then did Han Ying realize that Lin Yi did not deliberately say those words to ease the atmosphere. It was possible that someone was really watching them from the outside.
"Could it be Uncle Guo or Faang?" Han Ying also ran to the window to look around. She did not find anything, and then turned to ask Lin Yi.
"No way. Why didn't Uncle Guo or Faang come in directly from the front door? If it really was them, why did they run after I found them? " Lin Yi analyzed and fell into deep thought.
"Who could it be?" Han Ying also fell into deep thought.
"No matter who it is, I think we should be more careful these days. This might have something to do with you getting infected by the Gu." Lin Yi looked at Han Ying seriously and said.
"How can you be sure?" Han Ying asked.
"I am not sure. I only said that it is possible. Otherwise, who would stand in the darkness and watch our actions in the middle of the night?" Lin Yi tried to analyze it based on his own guess.
"Why don't we call Uncle Guo and the others over to ask?" Han Ying asked tentatively.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. "I think you can. Wait here. I will call them."
"No, I'll go with you." Han Ying's tone was firm as she followed Lin Yi out the door.
In fact, Lin Yi agreed to ask Uncle Guo and the others to come with another purpose. He wanted them to persuade Han Ying to take the medicine together. A beautiful doctor of a generation was actually afraid of taking medicine. It was estimated that in front of so many people, Han Ying would forcefully swallow the medicine in order not to make such a joke.
Now, she wanted to go with him. This way, Lin Yi's plan would go down the drain again.
Han Ying's heart was bright. Lin Yi rolled his eyes. She knew what he was thinking.
Although she said that she was the one who wanted to ask Uncle Guo and the others about the idea, Lin Yi wanted to take the opportunity to make Uncle Guo and the others force her to drink the stinky medicine. Han Ying saw through it in an instant, so she said she wanted to go with Lin Yi. Since the medicine was not there, naturally she could ignore it.
Lin Yi and Han Ying came to Uncle Guo's room. Uncle Guo was studying the series of venomous insect that he had forced out of Han Ying's body. It was some insects of various colors. From afar, they looked similar in shape. However, there was a huge difference, so it would take a long time.
"Uncle Guo, did you see a black shadow just now?" Lin Yi asked straightforwardly.
"A black shadow? I didn't pay too much attention to it. I have been focusing on studying these venomous insect." Uncle Guo looked confused as he looked at Lin Yi and Han Ying.
"I saw a shadow running towards the village entrance just now." Lin Yi rubbed his chin and tried to recall.
"Where did he run to?" Han Ying was a little surprised.
"Yes, but even if I rushed out at that time, I could not catch up to him. Furthermore, it was dark. I am not familiar with this place." Lin Yi answered Han Ying.
"Can you feel who you have seen these few days?" Uncle Guo frowned and asked.
Lin Yi shook his head. "No, I have no impression of him. From the speed at which he disappeared, I am sure he is a local."
"In that case, there are still no clues." Han Ying sighed.
"It will be dawn tomorrow. I want to go to the place where the black shadow escaped to take a look. What if I can find any clues?" Lin Yi looked at Uncle Guo and Han Ying and said.
"Sure. You said you wanted to go to the place where Han Ying picked herbs. I have already told Faang to bring you along tomorrow. Take a look at the escape route of the black shadow and then go to the herbal field on the hill to take a look." Uncle Guo's expression had already calmed down.
"I will go with you." Han Ying said.
"No, you cannot go. Your injuries are not completely healed yet. What if you encounter any problems again?" Uncle Guo firmly denied it.
"You don't even need to drink the medicine. I won't take you there tomorrow." Lin Yi took the opportunity to think of a plan to force Han Ying to drink the medicine.
