Xiao Yanchu nodded: "Got it." Without bothering to explain in detail to Su Yunfeng, he strode towards Su Ruojin's courtyard.
Ye Xunzhi took the medicine and left the room without saying a word to go to the pharmacy specially prepared by the Su family to get the medicine.
Xiao Yanchu walked to the bedside and looked at Su Ruojin, whose face was as white as paper and who was on the verge of death. His eyes were full of heartache.
He knelt by the bed and held Su Ruojin's hand: "Ajin, I'm back. I found the Blazing Shadow Grass. Ajin, you must hold on. Ajin, I can't live without you."
Tears welled up in Xiao Yanchu's eyes and dripped onto Su Ruojin's hand.
He had never seen Su Ruojin so weak, so fragile that she seemed like she would disappear at the slightest touch.
The person on the bed seemed to hear Xiao Yanchu's voice. Her eyelids twitched as if she wanted to open her eyes, but she ultimately kept them tightly closed.
"Quick, help her up!" Ye Xunzhi entered the house, carrying a bowl of medicine.
Xiao Yanchu helped Su Ruojin up, and Ye Xunzhi tried to feed her medicine, but every time he tried, the medicine would flow out of her mouth and he couldn't get it in at all.
Yanluo was in a hurry to find a thin bamboo tube. In Tianyi Pavilion, some patients couldn't eat, so the young lady would use the tube to feed them some liquid food.
"I'll do it!" Xiao Yanchu took the medicine bowl from Ye Xunzhi, put a mouthful in his mouth, and fed it to Su Ruojin.
At this point, no one cared about the strict separation between men and women anymore; people were about to die, so what was there to prevent?
Everyone was watching anxiously to see if Su Ruojin could drink the medicine.
Fortunately, she managed to swallow it this time.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
One mouthful after another, the bowl of medicine was finally finished.
Everyone watched Su Ruojin's reaction with bated breath.
A breath, two breaths, half a cup of tea, a cup of tea's time passed.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Su Ruojin suddenly started coughing violently, one cough after another, as if she were coughing up her heart and lungs.
"Ugh—" Su Ruojin spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ah Jin!"
"Xiao Jin!"
"Little Jin'er!"
"Miss!"
Everyone cried out in alarm.
"Look!" Ye Xunzhi shouted, pointing at the blood Su Ruojin had spat out on the ground.
Something seemed to be wriggling in the blood.
Ye Xunzhi quickly took out tweezers and picked out a tiny white Gu worm from the blood, placing it in a small box.
His face was full of excitement: "The Gu worms have come out! The Gu worms have come out!"
Su Ruojin slowly opened her eyes and saw that the man in front of her had a dirty face, a long beard, dry lips, messy hair, and tattered clothes. Only his eyes were bright, staring at her without blinking.
Xiao Yanchu, now a shadow of his former self as regent, was nothing but a pathetic figure.
Su Ruojin gently pulled at her pale lips and slowly uttered two words: "Really ugly."
Xiao Yanchu laughed when she heard those two words, her eyes glistening with tears.
His Ah Jin is back.
His Ah Jin won't die.
The next second, Xiao Yanchu collapsed onto Su Ruojin's bed and fainted.
Su Ruojin's expression changed drastically. Ye Xunzhi quickly stepped forward to take Xiao Yanchu's pulse: "It's nothing, he's just overworked. He'll be fine after a rest."
Hearing her master's words, Su Ruojin finally felt relieved.
Indeed, the round trip took nearly a month, but even with the help of the wooden bird, Xiao Yanchu only took nine days to get back, which was already the limit.
Ye Xunzhi took Su Ruojin's pulse again and visibly relaxed: "The Gu has been removed, but her heart is somewhat damaged and she will need to rest for a while to recover."
Fortunately, the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion has no shortage of blood-nourishing and heart-strengthening medicinal herbs. With these herbs, Su Ruojin's recovery will be much faster than others.
Huang Jian helped Xiao Yanchu to the next room. While Ye Xunzhi was administering acupuncture to Xiao Yanchu, he asked, "How did he get so badly injured?"
