Chapter 20 Scar
Du Huaizhi: “…”
He really wasn't afraid that she would report him.
Xue Feiheng's gaze fell on Du Huaizhi's table. After what happened last night, he was quite sensitive to the color green, not to mention that Du Huaizhi was also there.
Before he could think of anything else, the green color turned its head and looked at him, and his straightforward and inquiring gaze met it.
Xue Feiheng was shocked. How could it be a woman?
The "woman" curled her lips at him and winked.
Du Huaizhi: “…”
It’s too disgusting to watch. It’s really too disgusting to watch.
Xue Feiheng: “!!!”
He hurriedly turned his eyes away, urged the horse under his crotch to continue forward, and looked at his back which was gradually moving away, looking a little disheveled.
After this incident, Wei Shan paid for the wontons and left in style.
The handsome scholar suddenly turned into a beautiful young woman, and no one around him noticed. Du Huaizhi seriously suspected that he had not woken up yet.
I hurried back to the inn to catch up on some sleep, but was caught by An Nian on the way and was forced to do a hand mask on me.
Du Huaizhi looked at his hands, which were once again wrapped like dumplings, with a numb look in his eyes. "How's Zhizhi?"
"You still care about others." An Nian washed his hands in the basin. Hearing this, he said something in a sarcastic tone, venting his anger about Du Huaizhi running away in the morning.
He picked up a towel and wiped his hands, then said, "After you ran away, I fed her some hot water. Xiuzhu just called me to check on her. She was sweating and she should be fine by night."
Du Huaizhi nodded.
"You can also go and keep her company. You are in good health and this disease cannot enter your body. If she wakes up, she will definitely be happy to see you." An Nian added.
"I'm a light sleeper and I'm not used to having people around me when I sleep. Besides, she also needs to rest, so I won't disturb her." Du Huaizhi lay down on the bed and waved to An Nian.
"Go back to your room and rest first."
An Nian sighed, packed up her medicine box and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she looked back at Du Huaizhi, who had already closed his eyes, and hesitated to speak.
"Anything else?" Du Huaizhi didn't even open his eyes.
"Have you ever thought about removing those scars on your body?" The last whipping had healed very well, and under An Nian's care, not even a scar was left.
But Du Huaizhi had more scars on his body than just these. When An Nian applied the medicine, she couldn't help but see other places with scars of varying sizes.
Some wounds were not properly treated, leaving hideous scars. Most of the scars were concentrated on the back, some new and some old, clearly the result of years of accumulation.
Hearing this, Du Huaizhi slowly opened her eyes, a complex expression flashing across them. She was silent for a moment before she said calmly, "No need."
An Nian frowned: "If I use my special ointment on these old wounds, they can at least fade by 70% or 80%. " She couldn't understand how any woman could endure having so many scars on her body.
"I said no need." Du Huaizhi's voice was slightly cold. "Keep them so that you can remember some things."
An Nian heard the hidden meaning in her words and didn't want to persuade her anymore: "You should have a good rest." After saying that, he closed the door gently.
After the footsteps faded away, Du Huaizhi slowly sat up. Almost every scar on his body had a story.
Her talent is rare among women, but compared with men, she is not outstanding. Many times due to physical reasons, her progress is far behind that of men of the same age. Before she was selected, she had never been favored.
If she couldn't stand out among those who were more talented and stronger than her, she would face death. Therefore, she could only pay a greater price and work harder.
She killed everyone in the deep pit and had to climb out by stepping on their corpses. She was abandoned by everyone and her few good friends died in the chaos. She couldn't figure out whether it was her who did it or someone else.
Finally she crawled out. Although she saw the light of day again, her eyes were stained with blood. What was waiting for her was only endless killing.
Stuck in the quagmire, there were things she had to do in order to survive, even though she didn't want to live like this.
The previous leader of the Tiandihui said that the only difference between her and the other three was that she still had some humanity. This was also her weakness, the reason why she couldn't reach the pinnacle.
She didn't think so at first, but then some things happened that made her feel that compared to those three perverts, she was indeed quite humane.
Du Huaizhi had a light sleep until An Nian came in to remove her bandages.
After washing her hands, An Nian was quite satisfied. She would be able to move on to the next step in a few days. She had already thought of the recipe.
Du Huaizhi looked at her who was almost obsessed with her masterpiece and couldn't extricate herself, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
"You like these kinds of beauty things so much, have you ever thought about changing your career to medicine in the future?" The capital city is not short of ladies, and everyone loves beauty. If there is a female doctor who knows how to beautify and maintain the skin and opens a clinic, she will surely make a lot of money.
An Nian had never thought that after being forced onto the pirate ship by Du Huaizhi, she had almost completely devoted herself to him. Seeing that Du Huaizhi's hands were too rough, she suddenly had an idea and mixed the unnamed paste.
An Nian shook her head and said, "I still want to join the Imperial Medical Service, if not for anything else, then to restore the reputation of women who will study medicine in the future." Only she knew the hardships she had gone through in studying medicine.
Just because she is a woman, she is not only ignored but also suffers from criticism.
A rare glimmer of admiration flashed across Du Huaizhi's eyes. "You have great ambitions."
An Nian snorted and closed the medicine box, "Of course." Since she has chosen to study medicine, a little hardship is nothing. If she doesn't even have a chance to climb up, that would be the most terrifying thing.
Du Huaizhi looked at the glint in her eyes, his expression unchanged, but he was filled with envy. Although the chances were slim, at least she had something she loved to do, and she...
Du Huaizhi's eyes were dim. What could she do?
The room fell into silence. At this moment, Xiuzhu's voice rang out from outside the door: "Miss An Nian, my young lady has woken up, but she has no strength in her body. Please go over and take a look."
An Nian picked up the medicine box and responded, "I'll go right away." She turned her head and glanced at Du Huaizhi, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"You go first." Du Huaizhi stood up, "I'll be there soon."
After a simple tidying up, just as he arrived at Du Ruozhi's door, he saw Huang Que coming towards him with a few things wrapped in oil paper.
Huang Que saw Du Huaizhi, his eyes lit up, "Miss Du."
"What are these?" Du Huaizhi asked.
Huang Que raised the things in his hand and said, "These are the supplements my master asked me to bring over."
