Chapter 286 Domineering Female Doctor Skilled in Gu Poisoning VS Down-on-his-luck Laborer Prodigal Son 13
"It hurts...it hurts so much..." Jiang Zhiyi's voice was weak and trembling.
Xiao Che carried her to a soft couch nearby. He leaned closer to listen to her speak and asked, "Where is the antidote? How can I save you?"
"Medicine...medicine..." Jiang Zhiyi fainted before she could finish her sentence, losing all consciousness.
The poison she gave herself wasn't actually very harmful; it just made her look extremely weak.
Although Xiao Che was very naive, he was quite shrewd in some ways. In order to prevent him from noticing any flaws, she even gave herself a little sleeping potion.
Now that the drug has taken effect, she has completely fallen into a deep sleep.
Looking at her lying there unconscious, Xiao Che felt extremely panicked.
He didn't know what to do; he knew nothing about medicine and couldn't find anyone else to save her.
"Don't sleep! Wake up! Wake up!" Xiao Che slapped her face hard.
Her forehead was covered in a thick layer of sweat.
Xiao Che quickly went outside to fetch water and used the wet handkerchief to wipe her face.
what to do?
What should he do?
Xiao Che suddenly remembered something: the Rejuvenation Pill...
Yes, and the Rejuvenation Pill too!
Last time he drank a poison that would render him infertile, she gave him a rejuvenating pill. She said this medicine had miraculous effects and could cure hundreds of poisons in the world.
Xiao Che hurriedly searched the wooden shelf next to him, remembering that the medicine was kept in a sandalwood box.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about the terrifying Gu worms; all he wanted was to find the antidote as soon as possible to save her.
Golden silkworms, centipedes, centipedes, venomous snakes... all sorts of strange and venomous creatures crawled out of the sandalwood box, making one's scalp tingle.
The box was filled with identical small porcelain bottles, and he couldn't tell them apart, so he had to open them one by one to look at them.
After searching for a long time, he finally found the Rejuvenation Pill. Perhaps it was good luck, but the Gu worms hadn't harmed him today.
Xiao Che grabbed her chin, pried open her mouth, and tried to make her swallow the pill.
For some reason, she just couldn't swallow the pill. Several times she was about to succeed, but then she suddenly vomited it up.
"Can you please listen to me?" Xiao Che was extremely anxious, but she was unconscious and couldn't hear him at all.
Xiao Che had no choice but to crush the pills, dilute them with water, and feed them to her.
To ensure that the poison in her body could be completely removed, he fed her five pills.
Xiao Che didn't notice that while feeding her the medicine, he wiped off the dark purple color that Jiang Zhiyi had deliberately applied to her lips with a wet handkerchief.
After giving her the medicine, he noticed that her complexion had improved significantly, so he figured the poison had been neutralized.
Xiao Che let out a breath, the weight in his heart finally lifted, and he sat there to continue watching over her.
Two hours later.
Xiao Che glanced at the sky outside, feeling somewhat hesitant.
It was already noon. Based on the time Jiang Zhiyi had returned home, it would take at least half a day to leave this place. In addition, since he was not familiar with the terrain in the mountains, it would only take longer.
He has to leave now, otherwise he won't be able to get down the mountain before dark.
Xiao Che knew very well that he couldn't stay here forever. The Xiao family needed him, and they were all waiting for him to return.
He dared not gamble on Jiang Zhiyi's intentions. Given her temperament, she might really keep him trapped here for the rest of his life and never let him leave.
Xiao Che sighed, having already made his decision.
He put the jade pendant he had worn since childhood on her finger. It was a token of the Xiao family and a family heirloom; seeing the jade was like seeing the person.
Xiao Che took out a pen and paper and wrote another letter.
In his letter, he explained many things, revealing all his difficulties. He had to leave today, and he hoped she could understand. If she wished, she could take the jade pendant to the Xiao family to find him in the future.
Xiao Che left the letter on the table, then packed his things and left.
Actually, he had other plans in mind. Even if she didn't come to him, he could still bring people over.
There will be plenty of time in the future, and they will have a chance to meet again.
...
Seven days later.
The main courtyard of the Xiao family.
Xiao Che finally woke up from his coma.
He opened his eyes to a scene that was all too familiar to him: the Xiao family home. He had returned.
He only remembered that he had been gone for three days and finally collapsed at his doorstep.
"Young master, you're awake?" The servant who was standing guard nearby hurriedly went outside to report.
Soon the bedroom was packed with people.
"Father," Xiao Che called out to the tall figure, then looked around, "Where is Mother?"
He knew that his mother must have been very worried about him these days.
Xiao He: "Your mother is praying for you at Fu'en Temple. I have already sent someone there. You have been unconscious for four days. Let the doctor take a look at you first. We can talk about other things later."
"Okay." Xiao Che nodded.
An elderly doctor stepped forward to take his pulse.
...
night.
Xiao Che summoned the doctor in alone and sent all the servants away.
During the day, Xiao He had already asked him what had happened during his disappearance, but he didn't want them to worry too much, so he deliberately concealed many things.
Xiao Che took out a pill and handed it to the doctor. He had brought it with him that day. He said, "This is a Rejuvenation Pill, a holy medicine for detoxification. Try to develop some, no matter the cost, the more the better. I need it urgently."
He had already made up his mind that he would go back to find her after some time had passed.
However, she would definitely not give him a kind look, so he had to prepare enough antidote pills in advance to avoid being poisoned to death by her.
He should prepare more things she likes for her.
The old doctor took the pill, smelled it, and looked somewhat strange. "Young master, this is just an ordinary sugar pill."
Xiao Che: "What did you say?"
The old doctor said, "This is just an ordinary sugar pill. Young master, have you been tricked?"
Xiao Che stepped forward and grabbed the doctor's hand, looking at the pills in his hand with some disbelief.
The old doctor said, "These sugar pills may be made with some herbs, as they have a faint medicinal fragrance, but they definitely don't have any detoxifying effects..."
The old doctor explained a lot more, but Xiao Che couldn't hear a single word at this point.
This time, Chun Dan turned out to be just an ordinary sugar pill. Then what happened to the poison she received during the drug test that day...?
There was no cure for the poison she was afflicted with!
In that instant, Xiao Che felt an icy chill run through his body.
