Zhou Shuo didn't answer his question and continued, "The poison he was poisoned with is called Soul-Eating Powder. It gradually erodes the victim's five senses. When all five senses are gone, the person will reach the end, hence the name Soul-Eating Powder. Such a vicious poison has long been banned. The person who could concoct this poison must be no ordinary person."
Liu Ming asked anxiously, "Master, are you okay? Can the poison be completely removed?"
Zhou Shuo glanced at the nightgown in front of them and said, "Isn't this the detoxification process? It's just that this process is very painful. This was the first round of forcing the poison out. Brother is in a coma and can't feel anything. As his body slowly recovers, this detoxification process will be very difficult. Uncle Liu, Uncle Jiang, when Brother has a fever this afternoon, I need you to help me suppress it."
"Okay, no problem." They both answered in unison.
The two did not have a clear understanding of what "difficult" meant.
It was not until Mu Ci had a fever again in the afternoon that the two understood what Zhou Shuo meant.
Zhou Shuo prepared the medicine in advance, but it cannot be taken immediately as it will hinder detoxification.
As his body temperature rose, the unconscious Mu Ci began to hum softly, his brows furrowed tightly.
Zhou Shuo sighed and said, "Right now, every pore of my brother's body feels like it's being pricked by needles. You must control his limbs to prevent him from hurting himself while he's unconscious."
She took out a piece of cork from her medicine box, pinched Mu Ci's mouth open, and made him bite it horizontally to prevent him from hurting his tongue.
Zhou Shuo continued to cool Mu Ci down physically.
The two saw with their own eyes that every time Zhou Shuo washed the towel again, the water in the basin became greener.
Liu Ming felt his face turning green.
The sweat on Zhou Shuo's face dripped down and landed on Mu Ci's exposed skin, just like falling on a hot stone slab, and was instantly absorbed and evaporated.
After struggling for more than an hour, Zhou Shuo finally gave Mu Ci the medicine. After a while, Mu Ci relaxed and stopped struggling. Liu Ming and Lao Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief. When Zhou Shuo asked them to let go, they both sat on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Shuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm almost healed now. It's really not easy."
Liu Ming and Lao Jiang finally understood what it meant to go through the gates of hell.
"Madam, is it okay for the young master to be like this?" Liu Ming asked expectantly.
Zhou Shuo smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy, I've only just started."
"Ah?" Liu Ming couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
"Then Master, can you bear this?"
He looked worriedly at Mu Ci, who was lying unconscious on the bed.
Zhou Shuo sighed: "So we need to rest tonight. If we push too hard, it will cause great harm to my brother's body. We must proceed step by step."
Liu Ming and Lao Jiang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Liu Ming changed Mu Ci's clothes and tidied up the bedroom. Zhou Shuo then wrote a new prescription and prepared the medicine.
Mu Chen came and Lao Jiang told him what had happened.
Looking at Zhou Shuo who was patiently feeding medicine to Mu Ci, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel emotional.
It seems that it is true that children and grandchildren have their own blessings! God has opened his eyes and sent such a good daughter-in-law to this poor child.
Zhou Shuo thought Mu Chen was worried, so after feeding him the medicine, he comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry. Brother's condition is getting better. Although this time was dangerous, fortunately the timing was good."
Mu Chen nodded: "Good boy, thanks to you."
Mu Ci snorted softly.
"Huh?" Zhou Shuo quickly put down the medicine bowl and turned back to look at Mu Ci.
Mu Chen also came over.
"Brother, are you awake? Are you conscious? How do you feel? Grandpa is here to see you." Zhou Shuo said quickly.
Mu Ci opened his mouth with great difficulty: "—It hurts."
Zhou Shuo nodded quickly: "Brother, you've been poisoned. I'm detoxifying you. The process will be painful, but bear with it. Once the poison is detoxified, your legs will slowly get better. I promise you won't need a wheelchair anymore!"
Zhou Shuo knelt beside the bed, raised his right hand, and looked serious.
Mu Chen sat down beside the bed and reached out to touch Mu Ci's face: "Mu Ci, hold on. God sent Zhou Shuo to your side, even if it's not your fate. You must cheer up. For Grandpa and Zhou Shuo, you have to hold on."
Mu Ci nodded with great difficulty: "Grandpa, you can't... tell... anyone else."
Mu Ci frowned and breathed quickly: "Ah——"
He called out softly.
Zhou Shuo couldn't help but get anxious: "Does it hurt a lot? I gave you medicine because I didn't want you to wake up. How did you wake up? Hey, how much does it hurt? I can't give you painkillers."
Zhou Shuo was so anxious that he kept grabbing his hair.
Mu Ci looked at her and tried to say, "It's okay, I'm fine."
Then he looked at Mu Chen: "Grandpa——"
Mu Chen was already deeply shaken when Mu Ci said the first sentence. Now, seeing his grandson struggling so hard, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, Grandpa knows. We won't tell anyone that you're cured. Even if you can walk, you won't tell anyone and will continue to sit in the wheelchair, right?"
Mu Ci's brows relaxed, and he managed to utter one word: "Yes!"
Then he closed his eyes again.
Zhou Shuo grabbed his hand, felt his pulse, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, hehe, the pain will go away after you faint."
Mu Chen was silent.
Zhou Shuo put Mu Ci's hand under the quilt, then realized: "Grandpa? What does brother mean?"
Mu Chen sighed: "You gave him medicine so that he wouldn't feel the pain when he fell asleep, right?"
Zhou Shuo nodded: "Well, every pore of his body should feel like it's being pricked by needles. No one can withstand this kind of pain when they are awake, although I haven't experienced it either." Zhou Shuo said very frankly.
Mu Chen sighed again: "But he relied on his willpower to wake up."
Zhou Shuo was curious: "Why didn't my brother let others know that he was cured?"
Mu Chen looked at Zhou Shuo's clear eyes and was speechless for a moment, but the girl in front of him would stand by Mu Ci's side and accompany her from now on. Being ignorant of the ways of the world might not necessarily be a good thing.
"Girl, Grandpa entrusts Mu Ci to you. Not only his illness, but also his character. Mu Ci is a child who has suffered so much. Grandpa hopes that you can accompany him, warm him, and make him happy."
Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "I know, Grandpa, I will. But I don't understand why brother doesn't want others to know that he's recovered."
Mu Chen shook his head: "Because we don't know how he was poisoned, who poisoned him, and why he was poisoned. This means that there is danger around him."
"Oh, I understand. We can't alert the enemy! We are fine now, but we can't let others know. Otherwise, they won't be on guard against brother, and brother will be able to find out who harmed him!" Zhou Shuo suddenly realized.
