29: The Magical Effects of Lotus

Su Zhi touched her face. When it itched, she would always touch it gently to relieve the itch. Today was the same. It still felt uneven, but suddenly a piece fell off where she touched!

Yes, a piece fell off!

Su Zhi was startled and was afraid to move her hands. Could it be that her illness had become more serious? But her face did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, it felt cool and refreshing after the itching. It really felt like her skin was drinking water. This comfortable feeling made Su Zhi less afraid. She gently took her hand down, being careful not to drop the small piece of something she didn't know what it was.

Su Zhi looked at the thing in her hand and felt more relaxed. It was a scab. Her disease would always slowly form a scab. But why did she feel so comfortable just now? Su Zhi touched her face again, and this time her eyes widened even more.

Wherever my fingers touched was smooth.

I touched it again and it still felt smooth, completely different from the feeling of the place where the scab had fallen off!

Su Zhi was excited. Although she couldn't see, she was still wondering if her illness was getting better. Even the places where the scabs had fallen off were different from before. The smooth feeling was what normal skin should have. She touched it again to see if there were any other scabs that could fall off. She checked again, and it turned out that with just a slight movement, several more pieces fell off. Those places were also smooth!

Su Zhi's lips curled up, thinking that she had taken medicine for such a long time and insisted on taking a bath every day, it seemed to be effective. Her hope was to recover from the disease, so that she could go out openly, work hard for this family with Shen Zian, and fully integrate into this world!

Shen Zian's voice rang again. Su Zhi responded quickly, covered her face, and then hurried back to the gate of the courtyard. Seeing that Shen Zian had already pushed the door open and went in, she also hurried in.

"You're back. I just took a walk outside the yard. You must be tired. Take a rest."

Shen Zian turned around and saw Su Zhi, a smile appeared on his face.

"Not tired. You should rest more. Look, we hunted a lot of game today, four pheasants and three rabbits. We can sell them for some money tomorrow. If you want to buy something, tell me and I'll buy it for you."

Su Zhi was also very happy looking at the prey on the ground. Looking at the rabbits, she thought it was a pity that it was winter and the family needed money. Otherwise, it would be great to keep the rabbits. Rabbits are very fertile. Thinking that Shen Zian was so good at hunting, there would be opportunities in the future, so she felt relieved.

"I'll tell you tonight. It's just some food."

The two talked for a while. Shen Zi'an drank enough water and then sat in the house to weave baskets. They only brought one basket from the Shen family. What they lacked most now was something to hold things. Shen Zi'an went to cut some branches that could be used to weave baskets yesterday. He could also weave some simple baskets and the like. Su Zhi felt that he had already weaved very well. She felt that the husband she married was really versatile and knew how to manage a life.

Su Zhi sat aside and watched Shen Zian weaving a basket, and then followed to learn, but in her heart she was thinking about her face. She didn't hear clearly what Shen Zian said, and of course she didn't learn it very well. She was afraid that Shen Zian would notice, so she said she was going to make dinner.

Shen Zian also stood up. He wanted to kill a rabbit for Su Zhi to eat, but Su Zhi wouldn't let him, saying that she wanted to keep it to exchange for money. There were too many things missing at home now, and winter was coming, so they needed money badly.

"Then I'll go to Brother Shitou's house and borrow some oil. We'll stew a pheasant. It's not good for your health to eat without oil."

Shen Liaoan was convinced by Su Zhi.

Su Zhi watched Shen Zian go out with a smile on her face, thinking that Shen Zian was a good husband, and that if her illness could really be cured, it would be the best for him. She touched the half of her face that had healed, hoping that she was not overjoyed this time, but then she touched the other side of her face that was completely still and frowned.

Su Zhi emerged from the spring water, leaned forward, and looked at her face in the spring water. This was the first time she had seen her face since her rebirth. She had no mirror before, and she didn't want to see an ugly face. But now she wanted to see how good her healed face looked.

The spring water is clear and ripples appear on one side, but after passing through the lotus leaves, it becomes much calmer, and at least people's reflections are not distorted.

Su Zhi looked at herself in the spring water. Although it was not very real and she could not tell her skin color, she could still see that her features were very good. She had an oval face, big eyes and a straight nose. If she did not have this disease, even if she was not a beauty, she would not be ugly.

After reading it, Su Zhi sighed, wondering when she would be completely healed. She looked up at the lotuses, thinking that it would be great if her skin could be as white and smooth as those lotuses. Thinking of the lotuses, she thought of the time when she pressed on a lotus. She felt that her face was pressed on it, and it seemed that the flower was crooked. She wondered if it was damaged. She looked at the seven lotuses carefully to see if there were any broken ones.

After finding the lotus and seeing that it was still standing there gracefully, Su Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. This was the lotus that grew with the spiritual spring. The spiritual spring only needed to be poured on the plants and they would grow so fast and well. These lotuses must have been growing here all the time, so they must be even better. Maybe they are not ordinary items.

Not an ordinary item?

When Su Zhi thought of these words, she suddenly thought of something. She thought that half of her face was healed because it was pressed against the lotus. Thinking of the cool and comfortable feeling at that time, Su Zhi's heart beat faster. Then she remembered that she kissed the lotus happily once, and the skin under her lips seemed to be healed. However, the area was too small and she didn't pay attention to it at that time. Now she raised her hand to touch it, and it seemed to be as smooth as before.

Su Zhi thought of this and quickly reached out to pick up some pollen from the pistil of a lotus flower, gently rubbed it on her wrist, and watched without blinking. As a result, the small spot on her wrist slowly disappeared without even a scab left! Su Zhi suppressed her excitement and took some more pollen. This time, she rubbed it on a more serious spot. Seeing it forming a scab, she gently rubbed it and the scab fell off, revealing a smooth patch underneath.

Su Zhi felt her eyes sore, thinking that God was really kind to her. After giving her a new life, he also gave her spiritual spring, and then let her discover the miraculous uses of these lotus flowers.

Indeed, people should never despair. Perhaps hope is just around the corner, and it just depends on whether people will persist and keep going.

Su Zhi wondered how happy Shen Zian would be if he knew that his illness was getting better.
