Chapter 539 - 539 Zhou Zhi's Injury and Poison
539 Zhou Zhi’s Injury and Poison
As soon as the bottle was opened, Su Xiaolu smelled spiritual energy.
Old Wu brought the bottle to Su Xiaolu’s mouth. Su Xiaolu drank a bottle and could feel a wave of spiritual energy flowing down her throat and nourishing her limbs and bones. It was a comfortable feeling. It could dispel fatigue and restore her mind to its best state in a few seconds.
“Master, I have something good for you too.”
Su Xiaolu also took out the bottle containing the spiritual liquid and gave it to Old Wu.
The old man smiled. It was his disciple’s respect.
After drinking it, he frowned slightly. “Girl, why is this better than mine? And why does it taste a little weird?”
Old Wu questioned himself. Could it be that the student had surpassed the master? Su Xiaolu was already talented, and now her level was even higher?
Old Wu smacked his lips and quickly shook his head. “No, no. This seems to be another species, girl.”
Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “That’s right. This is another new species.”
Su Xiaolu took out another bottle for Gui You. “Master Gui You, try it too.”
Old Wu took small sips and savored it.
It was faintly fragrant and sweet. The original taste of this meat was definitely not bad, and it was much better than the white fish. Old Wu’s eyes lit up. “Girl, this, this is…”
“It’s another area in the sea.”
Su Xiaolu explained to Old Wu and Gui You.
Su Xiaolu asked again, “Master, you just said that the poison of the person from the capital has acted up. Is it Zhou Zhi?”
Old Wu nodded. “It’s him.”
Su Xiaolu asked obediently, “Master, if you don’t save him, can I save him?”
Old Wu smiled. “Girl, if you want to save him, save him. Master doesn’t want to save him because Master doesn’t want to save him. Back then, Master didn’t want to save Zhou Heng either. I just owed him a favor when he was young. Now that I have returned what was owed, what does his life have to do with Master?”
“It’s your business if you’re willing to save him. Master won’t help or stop you. His ship has probably returned to the harbor. It won’t be long before he finds his way here. If you want to save him, just wait.”
After Old Wu finished speaking gently, he turned to look at Gui You and said, “The girl wants to save him. We don’t have to leave.”
“I’m so tired. I’m going back to my room to sleep.”
Old Wu yawned and stretched.
Gui You nodded. “Sleep.”
No matter what relationship Su Xiaolu had with Zhou Zhi, Old Wu and Gui You were not involved.
They returned to their rooms to sleep while Su Xiaolu waited.
She did not know how badly Zhou Zhi was injured, so she could only make a lot of preparations first.
Half an hour later, more than ten secret guards flew into the courtyard.
“Please help us, doctor.”
It was Jin Yi who spoke. His tone was cold. He said please, but it was actually a threat.
Su Xiaolu came out of the house. “I’ll go with you.”
“Miss Su.”
Jin Yi’s tone changed suddenly and he called out to Su Xiaolu happily.
Everyone who came was familiar. When they saw Su Xiaolu, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Xiaolu followed them out with the medicine kit and got into the carriage.
On the way, Su Xiaolu asked Jin Yi and the others what was going on.
“It’s a very big sea fish with huge wings. It swallowed a lot of the white fish. Master said that he wanted to catch it. That thing was too strong and overturned the entire ship. That thing spat out some black poison in the water. The antidote pill can detoxify it, but its poison destroyed the stability in Master’s body. He drowned and the poison acted up. The situation was too dangerous.”
Jin Liu told Su Xiaolu about what had happened.
Su Xiaolu remembered the winged fish.
In her opinion, the world in the sea had already changed drastically. It was not just one place that had changed, but the entire sea.
In places where people could not detect, it had already changed. Such changes might have happened on land too, but no one had discovered it yet.
When she rushed back to Zhou Zhi’s residence, she heard Doctor Wu roaring, “What are you waiting for? Let him bleed.”
“You listen to whatever he says. Don’t you know how to look? You only know how to be anxious when he’s lying down. I’m so angry…”
Doctor Wu was very irritable.
Although Zhou Zhi was the master, could they not disobey some orders?
He was a patient. If something happened to him just like that, how could he give orders?
“Miss Su is here.”
Jin Liu shouted loudly.
Su Xiaolu pushed the door open and entered. Doctor Wu was giving Zhou Zhi acupuncture, and Jin San was cutting Zhou Zhi’s finger with a small knife to let the blood out.
Zhou Zhi’s entire body was red and his meridians appeared. He was already unconscious.
Seeing Su Xiaolu, Doctor Wu quickly said, “Miss Su, the fever won’t subside. The blood is already black, and the poison is all messed up.”
This was Zhou Zhi’s current situation. This time, even if it was Su Xiaolu, Doctor Wu did not know if she could pull Zhou Zhi back from the gates of hell.
Su Xiaolu did not speak. She took a bottle, opened it, pinched Zhou Zhi’s mouth, and poured it into his mouth.
Su Xiaolu tapped the acupuncture points on his jaw to ensure that the spiritual liquid could flow smoothly into Zhou Zhi’s stomach.
After feeding one bottle, she opened another.
After drinking two bottles, Zhou Zhi’s meridians slowly disappeared.
The heat in his body gradually subsided.
Su Xiaolu fed him bottle by bottle.
A black and smelly substance gradually appeared on Zhou Zhi’s body.
“Urgh…”
Doctor Wu couldn’t help but retch.
At this moment, only Su Xiaolu, who was focused, did not react. The others more or less felt uncomfortable.
After feeding him the spiritual liquid, Su Xiaolu quickly sealed his acupuncture points.
Zhou Zhi’s condition gradually stabilized.
He frowned and opened his eyes. When he saw Su Xiaolu, he smiled. “Xiaolu, you saved me again.”
And again, again, she’d pulled him back from the jaws of death.
She had saved him time and time again. Had she ever thought that this might be different?
Su Xiaolu clearly did not think so.
She heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You’re really something. You gave me such a big surprise the moment we met. I know what you want to do, but first, you have to live, understand? If you lose your life, you won’t be able to use those things even if you have them. If there’s a next time, I really won’t save you. I know that you had a hard time in the past, but that’s all in the past. If people don’t love you, you still have to love yourself. If you don’t even care about yourself, no one will care about you.”
Su Xiaolu was very angry. The anger in her eyes was about to erupt.
Zhou Zhi’s situation this time was the most dangerous. If she did not happen to have the spiritual liquid extraction from the arowana, it would be useless even if the heavens came today.
Zhou Zhi was in a hurry to explore the sea. Su Xiaolu knew very well what he was doing. No one could stop him from making any decisions, but no matter what he did, he had to live first.
“Alright, I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again.” Zhou Zhi smiled and admitted his mistake obediently.
“You—Okay, I’ll believe you for the last time.” Su Xiaolu was a little helpless.
