Chapter 479 - 479 First Detoxification

479 First Detoxification

Su Hua smiled respectfully and said, “Thank you, Uncle and Aunt.”

He could feel his sincerity.

That night, they all got a little drunk.

Chen Hu and Madam Qian’s house was next door. The courtyard was about the same size.

Chen Hu’s family liked it very much.

Chen Hu and the others did not rest. The next day, they went out with Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao. Chen Daniu did not go, and Chen Erniu went with them.

Chen Daniu’s wedding was approaching. She also had to make something for herself and accompany Su Xiaoling.

Chen Shi and Chen Xing followed Su Chong to the training grounds.

The arrival of the Chen family did not change much. The two families seemed to have returned to the past. They left early and returned late together.

In late May, the herbs that Su Xiaolu had prepared were finally ready. After telling her family, she went to Zhou Zhi’s residence.

Su Xiaolu came to detoxify Zhou Zhi. Everyone in the Wisdom King’s residence was very happy.

After Su Xiaolu moved in, her daily life was arranged just right, making Su Xiaolu feel very comfortable but it was not too much.

Zhou Zhi was dressed in white. His waist-length black hair was only casually tied up with a headband. He seemed to like reading books very much.

He sat quietly in the pavilion with a book and a pot of tea by the table for entire afternoons.

Su Xiaolu gave him acupuncture, but it did not affect his reading.

At night, he had to soak in the medicinal bath for four hours. In order to prevent him from catching a cold, Su Xiaolu stayed by his side. When the water temperature turned cold, she would add warm water in. He took too long to soak in the medicinal bath. In the first half of the night, Su Xiaolu would sit by his bathtub and doze off.

Zhou Zhi didn’t look good. The poison had been activated and his entire face was a little pale.

After seven days, he could not even pick up a book. The book could only be placed on the table. Seeing that he had not flipped it for a long time, Su Xiaolu could not help but say, “Haven’t you finished reading this page? I haven’t flipped the page in a long time.”

Zhou Zhi gulped. His slender fingers trembled before he said, “Xiaolu, it seems like I can’t see.”

Jin Liu and the others around the pavilion instantly became nervous.

“Yes, you’ll sleep for another ten days to half a month.”

Su Xiaolu did not panic at all. She naturally took the book from Zhou Zhi’s hand and said calmly, “You keep reading and diverting your attention. This will hinder the absorption of the medicine. I sealed your senses. This way, your body can recover faster and better.”

Zhou Zhi smiled. “Thank you, Xiaolu.”

“You read books every day. What kind of books are you reading?”

Su Xiaolu flipped through the book and realized that it was a folk legend.

Su Xiaolu flipped the pages and fell silent.

This book that recorded weird phenomena or strange things was actually quite good.

Zhou Zhi smiled. “Xiaolu, do you think the things recorded in the book are real?”

Su Xiaolu closed the book and looked at Zhou Zhi seriously. “Of course, the world is huge and full of wonders. The world is very strange. There will always be some things that people can’t explore.”

Just like her, after a car accident, she was born in an alternate world.

In her previous life, in the five thousand years of history, there was no dynasty like the Zhou Dynasty. The fashion culture and history did not match any dynasty in the five thousand years.

Moreover, she had a space where she could farm. These were all inexplicable phenomena.

Was there really only one world? Su Xiaolu didn’t think so.

“Xiaolu, do you think there’s really an immortal world?”

Zhou Zhi was deep in his thoughts. Did the Immortal Realm and the God Realm really exist?

In the human world, divine doctors had the best medical skills that people could imagine. What about in the Immortal Realm or the God Realm? Could a random immortal be able to revive the dead?

“I think there are. Perhaps there are many worlds like ours out there. They might be like beehives, tightly connected. Every small hole is a world, and the people living in them don’t know what it was like outside their world.”

If one were to compare a million worlds to a beehive, then every world was a small hole that was sealed and lived in.

Unlike a beehive, the people in each world did not know of the existence of other worlds, even though all worlds were closely connected.

“Xiaolu, you’re right.”

Zhou Zhi smiled and looked in Su Xiaolu’s direction. Although his world was dark, he felt that Su Xiaolu seemed to be glowing, attracting him closer.

“You can’t read anymore. Why don’t you sleep for a while? I can read to you.”

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. At this moment, his eyes were very clear and clean. A breeze blew over, and a few strands of his hair flew in a small arc. At this moment, his temperament was really too immortal.

Zhou Zhi smiled. “Thank you, Xiaolu.”

He was very cooperative, and his warm smile seemed to have let go of all his pride.

Su Xiaolu pushed him back to his room. Zhou Zhi lay down, and Su Xiaolu read it to him.

“It’s said that there’s an Immortal Realm in the world. Ordinary people can’t find it, and only fated ones can step into it… There’s a scholar in Apricot Flower Village in Cheng County. One day, he went into the mountain to pick herbs for his mother and accidentally entered the Immortal Realm…”

Zhou Zhi slowly fell asleep. Su Xiaolu held the book and started reading.

This kind of folklore was mythical and quite beautiful.

Su Xiaolu read about a scholar in danger. He picked immortal herbs, encountered a ferocious beast, and was saved by a fairy,

An idea suddenly flashed across Su Xiaolu’s mind. Wasn’t this an ancient book? Wasn’t this like a novel in modern day?

Sigh…

Although she lost some of her interest, Su Xiaolu still continued reading.

In order to help the scholar save his mother, the fairy returned with the scholar with the medicine. She knelt down with the scholar and they became husband and wife. The scholar studied hard. The fairy washed clothes, cooked, and took care of his old mother. She did not hesitate to help fulfill the scholar’s dreams. He became the top scorer and was bestowed a princess. When he returned to see the fairy, he became afraid that she was a monster of unknown origin. Thus, he consulted a Daoist priest, who asked a scholar to kill her. The Daoist priest said, “This is the Peach Tree Spirit. Stab its soul with a sword and its original form will be revealed. Take its wooden heart and crush it into a pearl. Hide it in the plaque at the door to protect the house and bless it with prosperity for a hundred years.”

After reading it, Su Xiaolu’s heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Zhi had been awake for a while. When he heard Su Xiaolu muttering, he did not say anything. Hearing that Su Xiaolu was very angry, he could not help but laugh and say, “Xiaolu, this is fake. The person who wrote this strange tale is actually an old scholar who is depressed. He has been studying for his entire life but did not even pass the Elementary Scholar examination. He will be an old student for the rest of his life. This strange tale is just his wishful thinking.”

Su Xiaolu put down her book gloomily and looked at Zhou Zhi. “You read this every day?”

Zhou Zhi nodded. “Yes.”

Su Xiaolu recalled the question Zhou Zhi asked when she first met him. Could a broken limb be regenerated?

If there were gods and demons in this world, perhaps they could do this. Zhou Zhi liked to read these books, which meant that he was also looking forward to such a fortuitous encounter.
