Chen Yuanshuo smiled briskly, forgetting about life and death: "More than ten years."
Of course, he would not tell her that he had witnessed the poisoning scene two years ago, which should be more than eight years at most.
He is three years older than Lu Zhi and is now no more than a young man.
The poison in Shen Yuanshuo's body had been there since he was a child.
Poison is poison, and Gu is Gu.
Lu Zhi slightly turned her head to avoid his intimate gesture, and coughed slightly uncomfortably: "I was poisoned in my mother's womb. I will ask my mother about it when I return home the day after tomorrow."
However, there is one thing that is in doubt.
She lifted her hands from Chen Yuanshuo's arms and took a small step back: "Big brother and big sister too?"
Since the person who cast the poison wanted to murder both the Shen and Lu families, would he only choose one of them to attack?
Lu Zhi felt that if she was the person behind this, she would probably cast a spell on both of them, which would definitely cut off the incense offerings to the Shen and Lu families.
...
...
Inwardly, he sneered at himself for being so cruel and ruthless, and Shen Yuanshuo also thought carefully about her words.
"We went to the funeral home tonight. My eldest brother had already gone. Mother shouldn't have stopped us."
What he said sounded very high-sounding, and Lu Zhi nodded heavily.
There is a special vegetarian restaurant in Dayin Temple. The young couple walked around the temple several times, kneeling in the temples to pray for wealth and fame.
After washing her hands with water in front of the red wall with relief carvings, Shen Yuanshuo took the initiative to help her lift up the hem of her skirt, and the two of them walked into the main hall one after the other.
The hall is filled with the smell of incense. A golden-bodied Bodhisattva stands in the center of the hall. The lotus pedestal, which is two heads taller than Lu Zhi, is carved to be lifelike.
The Bodhisattva held holy water in her hand, and Lu Zhi walked around her slowly. Suddenly, she began to feel a slight pain in her heart.
The face of the Bodhisattva faces forward, but her eyes look down upon all living beings. No matter which angle she turns, she is always looking at those who are pious.
Holding back the slight pain, Lu Zhi knelt in front of the Bodhisattva with his hands clasped together, praying silently.
There is never a shortage of sincere people in Dayin Temple.
It was not until he walked out of Dayin Temple and stood halfway up the mountain enjoying the breeze that Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
The fine sweat from her forehead wet her hair, and a hint of weakness appeared on her pretty face, which was as big as a palm, and her lower lip was bitten by her until it turned white and had blood marks on it.
Shen Yuanshuo was also feeling bad, and his condition was even more serious than Lu Zhi's.
The poison had damaged his body, and standing in the cold wind, he suddenly reached out and tightly grasped the girl's slender wrist.
The fingers were pale from being so strong, and Shen Yuanshuo's face really wasn't looking good.
The veins on his forehead were throbbing and the man, who was already pale, frowned.
“Cough cough cough!”
He raised his hand to cover his mouth, but still couldn't stop the violent coughs from seeping out from between his fingers.
Lu Zhi stared at him with worry in his eyes, and subconsciously raised his hand to pat his back a few times.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Shen Yuanshuo vomited black blood without any warning.
Passersby were frightened and hurriedly quickened their pace for fear of being infected with bad luck.
Blood dripped from between his fingers. Lu Zhi's eyes turned red with anxiety. Just as she was about to turn around and go back to Dayin Temple to look for the miraculous doctor, the big hand that was holding her wrist suddenly tightened.
With trembling fingertips, Shen Yuanshuo took the handkerchief handed to him by Lu Zhi and gently placed it on the corner of his lips to wipe the blood stains.
When he spoke again, he was surprised by the hoarseness and roughness of his voice: "I'm fine, I'll go back first."
Not sure if the toxins and poisonous insects in his body suddenly became active due to the stimulation of Dayin Temple, but Shen Yuanshuo didn't dare to let Lu Zhi, who also carried a time bomb, go in alone.
The gloomy and uncomfortable feeling suppressed in his heart was relieved a little as the black blood was coughed out. Chen Yuanshuo looked more like a frail and sickly beauty, and there was a hint of fragility between Qingshun's eyebrows.
"How can it be okay?" Lu Zhi felt that he was helping himself. He was coughing up blood but still holding on.
Hearing her words, Shen Yuanshuo smiled and curled his lips.
His cold fingertips gently touched her dark eyebrows, and he slowly smoothed out the small hills between her brows: "Azhi, I'm very happy."
Lu Zhi felt that he might need to have his brain checked to see if a poisonous insect had crawled into his head.
After spitting out blood, he could still say he was happy...
After staring for a while, Lu Zhi couldn't stand the fiery gazes of passers-by and the man in front of him, so he frowned, grabbed his sleeve and urged him to go down the mountain.
At the same time, he kept muttering, "I'll quietly call a doctor for you when we get home... No, no, why don't we just go to the clinic and see a doctor before going back."
Her chatter received no response. Lu Zhi turned her head suspiciously, and when she saw the man's upturned mouth, her eyes froze.
Maybe, we really need to look at our brains.
The two of them moved very quickly up the mountain, but slowed down when going down.
The scenery on the mountain is extremely beautiful, with stone steps winding upwards.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, the Dayin Temple with its carved beams and painted buildings seems to stand among the white clouds, emitting a sacred light.
Accommodating Shen Yuanshuo's body all the way, Lu Zhi carefully supported him.
He was really rude to her. He leaned on her and hummed.
After walking to the foot of the mountain with difficulty and sitting back in the carriage, Lu Zhi sighed.
Something unexpected happened. Even though I ate a lot for breakfast, I now felt my lower abdomen sinking and my stomach was rumbling with emptiness.
Chen Yuanshuo was a very meticulous person. He took out two small and exquisite plates of osmanthus cakes from the secret compartment on the small table.
The two of them ate the cakes one after another, and before they knew it, all the cakes were gone.
Sometimes, Lu Zhi really felt that she and Shen Yuanshuo got along well. Shen and Lu were newlyweds from wealthy families, and they were not picky about food. Now they were enjoying a mouthful of osmanthus cake and a mouthful of coarse tea.
The white sleeves were stained with a few drops of black blood, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, bright and dazzling.
Noticing Lu Zhi's gaze, Shen Yuanshuo hooked his finger and turned the blood-stained sleeve inward a few times to make sure nothing unusual could be seen from the outside.
Mrs. Shen has probably already questioned Mr. Shen about the poisoning.
He had only eaten poisonous food for eight years, so he would not vomit blood, but his body functions would be damaged. Vomiting blood was probably caused by the poisonous insects.
It's a good thing to hide their tracks, they don't want to alert the enemy at the moment.
On the way back home, Lu Zhi's heart beat faster and faster, and he always felt that something big was about to happen.
They did not plan to call the court doctor from Lu's mansion, so they ordered the coachman to wait for them in a dark alley nearby. The two of them walked into the clinic side by side.
The driver was a subordinate secretly trained by Shen Yuanshuo. Ordinary people could not pry open their mouths, so Lu Zhi felt a little relieved.
There were not many patients in the clinic, so an old doctor was hurriedly invited to see the patients. Lu Zhi supported Shen Yuanshuo and lifted the curtain.
The old doctor felt his pulse and occasionally stroked the little white beard on his chin.
He pondered for a moment and sighed, "Young Master, there seems to be something eating away at your body. I am ashamed to say that I have only explored the surface. But your pulse looks extremely strange."
What the old doctor said next made Shen Yuanshuo, who had a calm expression, reveal a hint of surprise.
"Fight poison with poison. The five-kui poison you took has a subtle effect of suppressing the cannibalism. But I see that you have stopped taking the medicine for several years, and the cannibalism is showing signs of making a comeback. If it is not resolved in time, your life may be in danger."
It was the first time that the old doctor encountered such a chaotic pulse. There were dead ends in all directions, but he could vaguely glimpse a way of life behind the dead ends.
He secretly sighed that he was not well educated enough: "Young Master, you can go and ask the milu doctor to come and see you. Maybe you can still make it in time."
