Chapter 360 It Will Get Worse
Xiao Lanyuan always knew that the poison he was poisoned with would be fatal.
However, over the years he had been asking people to look for medicine and visit doctors everywhere. Finally, he met Fu Zhaoning, and got deer blood and blood-heart silkworm from her. She suppressed the poison severely.
If it weren't for her, he would have collapsed by now and would definitely be bedridden, with absolutely no way of running around.
But the poison has not been eliminated after all, and the onset of the disease is just being delayed.
He wouldn't think that he was really okay. After all, the poisonous scar on his face was still there and had worsened during this period.
The poisonous scar has expanded and now reaches the middle of the face.
And it was okay for him to wear the mask all the time before, but now he wears the mask for shorter and shorter periods of time. If he wears it for too long, the scar will become itchy, very itchy.
It happened that they had left the capital during this period and were on the road. When they were in the carriage, he could take off the mask only when facing Fu Zhaoning.
But once he entered the city and passed through any village, he still had to wear it.
Perhaps in a few days, this poisonous scar will expand faster and faster, and the color and patterns will become more shocking. When it takes up half of his face, anyone who sees his face will be scared out of their wits.
"Although you didn't say it, I know that the poison is getting worse."
Seeing that Fu Zhaoning didn't say anything, Xiao Lanyuan continued, "I could tolerate wearing a mask before, but now I can't stand the itch after wearing it for a while. Not only it itches, but it also causes burning and stinging. Once it gets worse, it will definitely be inconvenient for me to wear a mask in the future."
He hadn't thought about this issue before.
Maybe it was because he had never taken anything to heart before and was very calm, and he was not afraid of ruining his appearance.
But now he was afraid.
He was afraid that the scar would not be cured, that it would expand, and that even if the poison was cured, the scar would still be there.
At that time, he looked like a ghost, neither human nor ghost. Could he still stand by her side?
If she woke up in the middle of the night and saw his face like this, would she be scared to death?
If he goes out with her, will others say that she is like a flower stuck in cow dung?
As soon as this question was raised, even someone as mentally strong as Xiao Lanyuan began to feel a little timid.
He looked at Fu Zhaoning, "It's not that easy to find all these herbs, right? I've been looking for them everywhere for so many years, but I haven't found them all in ten years."
"For some herbs, I can find substitutes, and for some, I can extract them." Fu Zhaoning noticed that the light in his eyes had dimmed a little, and pursed his lips, "Even if the herbs are really hard to find, I can suppress the poison. Don't worry, I will definitely save your life."
Xiao Lanyuan chuckled again.
"I believe it."
Her medical skills were very good, and he believed what she said.
"But is it possible that by that time, I won't be able to get up, stand, or walk? Is it possible that the scar on my face will be even more terrible and will never be removed?"
He looked at her and asked softly.
She should be able to save his life like that. Her medical skills should be able to keep him alive no matter what.
Fu Zhaoning really wanted to say something nice to comfort him and make him feel at ease.
But her personality prevented her from expressing any comfort.
She pursed her lips and said frankly, "It's not impossible."
In her opinion, being able to save one's life is good enough, as saving one's life is equivalent to buying time.
"I can slowly treat it later and continue to look for medicinal herbs. It doesn't mean that I will never have a chance in my life."
She had seen his poison scar worsen over the past two days, and she did have a plan to suppress the poison first, or force it to a certain place, sacrificing other things, such as his legs or face, but saving his life.
But she hadn't figured out how to tell him about this yet, and she just happened to say this, so he tricked her into revealing it in a few words.
"Ningning."
Xiao Lanyuan called her.
"you say."
"If you really need to save my life in this way, use your face."
Although Xiao Lanyuan felt very uncomfortable, he was not a fragile person and made a choice immediately.
"I'd rather have my face ruined than be unable to walk and be disabled for the rest of my life." Xiao Lanyuan explained, "As long as I can move freely, if you need help with anything, I can still get there in time."
Anyway, he could go see her wearing a mask.
Fu Zhaoning felt something strange when he said this.
What was the distance between them that required him to arrive in time?
Does he mean that they won't live together in the future?
"Xiao Lanyuan, what do you mean?"
"I've actually met a few miracle doctors in the Great Medical Association before," Xiao Lanyuan said, "They once discussed that if the poison can't be cured in a short time, they can use a combination of medicine and internal force to force the legs. This will cripple the legs and make it impossible to walk, but it can save the life."
Fu Zhaoning frowned.
"So, if one day you need to do this to save my life, don't choose this option."
He didn't want to become a useless person who could only sit in a chair and couldn't stand up or walk.
This way, at least if she needs anything in the future, he can put on the mask and go to her to protect her.
"Appearance is indeed not as important as legs."
Fu Zhaoning thought about it and nodded.
Compared to a face, the ability to move freely is more valuable.
"So, if I really use that method, this side of my face will be completely ruined?"
As Xiao Lanyuan spoke, he reached out to touch that part of his face.
"Don't move."
Fu Zhaoning grabbed his hand. "Your hands are not washed, don't touch the poison scar casually."
He might not have noticed it himself, but his scar had started to fester in the past two days, and she had taken good care of it when cleaning and applying medicine to it.
But you must not touch it with your hands at this time.
"It's a lot more serious, isn't it?"
Xiao Lanyuan smiled bitterly. She put away all the mirrors and only took a sneak peek when she was combing her hair, but she never showed it to him.
Maybe it's because his scar has worsened a bit.
"As a man, why do you care so much about your face?" Fu Zhaoning looked down on him, "You don't make a living by your face."
She had been avoiding his questions.
She didn't answer, but Xiao Lanyuan understood.
In other words, if the poison is forced to one place and the face is sacrificed, the whole face may be covered with scars.
Now he still has half of his face and his entire mouth and chin visible. If his entire face is covered with scars, he will really look like a demon.
In that state, could he still stand by her side?
Did she want everyone to laugh at her for marrying an ugly man?
You could die at any time.
"Well, you're right. I shouldn't care so much about it."
Xiao Lanyuan smiled.
But in the next few days, Fu Zhaoning clearly felt that he seemed to have changed.
Originally, they rode in the same carriage when they were outside, and they shared the same room when they stayed in the inn, but now they were separated.
