Liu Ruoxin had suffered too many blows in a day. As soon as she calmed down, she fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Jie saw that the beauty in his arms was already sound asleep. He gently placed her on the bed and carefully covered her with the blanket. Zhou Jie reached out his hand and brushed the hair on Liu Ruoxin's forehead aside. He swore to himself that he would protect her and not let her get hurt again.
At this moment, Zhou Jie suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his face turned abnormally red. Zhou Jie's injuries, which had improved, had worsened again after he had sprinted all the way.
Zhou Jie didn't want to make too much noise to wake Liu Ruoxin up, so he forced his Genuine Qi to suppress his injuries and walked out of the room with staggering steps.
The more he suppressed his internal injuries, the more severe the rebound. It was already not easy for Zhou Jie to stand up with his own willpower. When Zhou Jie was only two steps away from the door, he had already reached his limit. Finally, he could not suppress his injuries and fell to the ground.
"Thank goodness I was worried, so I came to take a look." Yang Yuxuan helped Zhou Jie up.”
At this moment, Zhou Jie did not even have the strength to speak. He could only force out a smile and fainted.
。。。。。。。。。。The dividing line…
"It's been two days. Why haven't you woken up?”Liu Ruoxin sat by Zhou Jie's bed, looking at Zhou Jie's pale face. Her heart ached for him. She was the one lying on the bed.
Liu Ruoxin's eyes reddened. She touched Zhou Jie's face and said to herself,""You're so stupid. Why didn't you tell me you were injured? Do you think I'll be happy if you try to comfort me with your injuries?”
"Ruoxin, you haven't slept for two days. You should go and rest. Otherwise, you will collapse before Old Zhu wakes up.”
Zhu Yipin had said the same words several times in the past two days, but Liu Ruoxin acted as if she didn't hear him and kept watching Zhou Jie. Zhu Yipin shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to use his trump card. He turned around and gave Yang Yuxuan a look.
Yang Yuxuan nodded, walked up and quickly pressed on Liu Ruoxin's sleeping acupoint.
" You!" Liu Ruoxin wanted to resist Yang Yuxuan, but she was exhausted after two days of sleepless nights. She was no match for Yang Yuxuan, so she was knocked down the moment she opened her mouth.
"Alright, let's send her back to her room first.”Zhu Yipin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he had finally settled Liu Ruoxin. He helped Liu Ruoxin back to her room with Yang Yuxuan.
Perhaps Zhou Jie felt Liu Ruoxin's call, he finally opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. He suddenly remembered that his injury had relapsed and he fainted. Looking at the decorations around him, Zhou Jie knew that Yang Yuxuan had sent him back to his room.
Zhou Jie had just woken up. He was a little thirsty and wanted to pour himself a glass of water to drink. Who knew that he couldn't exert any strength in his body? Not to mention getting out of bed, even sitting was difficult. Zhou Jie couldn't help but frown. This feeling of powerlessness was really uncomfortable.
At this moment, Zhu Yipin and Yang Yuxuan came back after sending Liu Ruoxin off. They saw Zhou Jie struggling to sit up on the bed.
Zhu Yipin hurriedly went forward to help Zhou Jie sit up and said,""Old Zhou, you're finally awake. You were unconscious for two days and two nights, and we were worried sick.”
" Two days and two nights!?" Zhou Jie was shocked. He did not expect to be unconscious for so long this time.
"Exactly. You know, Liu Ruoxin has been taking care of you. She hasn't slept for two days. In the end, I had no choice but to let Old Yang touch her sleeping acupoint.”
When Zhou Jie heard Zhu Yipin say that Liu Ruoxin hadn't rested for two days, he wanted to get out of bed to see her.
Yang Yuxuan held Zhou Jie down and said coldly,""You'd better take care of yourself first! I don't want to take care of the two of you anymore.”
Zhou Jie could hear the concern in Yang Yuxuan's words. In addition, his body was indeed unable to get up. He could only lie down obediently and deal with his internal injuries first.
A few days later, Zhou Jie's internal injuries finally healed with the help of the medicine and the Divine Radiating Scripture. Not only that, but because Zhou Jie had been circulating his qi to heal his injuries for the past few days, his true qi had made great progress. He had already reached the late stage of Xiantian Realm Level One and was not far from breaking through. It could be said that it was a blessing in disguise.
"Zhou Jie has just recovered from a serious illness. In addition, today is the Zhongyuan Festival. Let's go to the Zhongyuan Lantern Festival tonight as a celebration.”
Seeing Chen Anan's high-spirited speech in front of everyone, Zhou Jie could not remain calm. According to her, celebrating for him was just an excuse. The main point was to attend the Lantern Festival!
On the night of the Ghost Festival, the capital was particularly lively. The streets and alleys were filled with lanterns that lit up the night sky.
Chen Anan was influenced by the atmosphere and said excitedly,""I've burned all the paper money and delivered all the ingots. Now, I can go and play happily.”
"Yay!"
Zhou Jie and the others applauded and cheered. Only Yang Yuxuan and Liu Ruoxin were not in high spirits. However, Yang Yuxuan was not used to a lively environment. However, Liu Ruoxin was filled with worries and couldn't feel happy at all.
Zhou Jie saw Liu Ruoxin's worried face, so he walked over and held her hand, smiling at her.
Liu Ruoxin was shocked when someone suddenly grabbed her hand. She hurriedly looked at that person. When she saw that it was Zhou Jie, she heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Zhou Jie's smiling eyes, her heart calmed down. Liu Ruoxin smiled back and held Zhou Jie's hand tightly.
"Cough! I'm a little hungry. I'll go find something to eat first.”Chen Anan found an excuse to pull the others away and leave them alone when she saw them looking at each other affectionately.
Zhou Jie and Liu Ruoxin came to the river and put the river lantern in their hands on the water surface. They watched the river lantern drift away with the current.
"What wish did you make?" Zhou Jie looked at Liu Ruoxin with tender eyes.
Liu Ruoxin stood up and said," I hope my foster father can come out safely. I also hope that one day, he can find out why my family was exterminated."”
"Don't worry. No matter what difficulties you face, I'll always be by your side.”Zhou Jie saw Liu Ruoxin's sad face again, so he went up to her and hugged her, wanting to comfort her.
Liu Ruoxin felt Zhou Jie's warmth. It seemed that she had found someone to rely on. The uneasiness in her heart disappeared at this moment.
"Don't go!" Liu Ruoxin suddenly shouted and struggled out of Zhou Jie's arms. She looked around as if she was looking for something.
Seeing Liu Ruoxin's anxious look, Zhou Jie hurriedly asked,""Ruoxin, what did you see?”
"A child dressed in white and wearing a cat mask.”
"Don't be anxious. Let's go look for it together, okay?”
Zhou Jie calmed Liu Ruoxin down and started to search around with her.
The two of them looked around the lantern festival, but they still couldn't find the child that Liu Ruoxin mentioned. The two of them were not in the mood to continue shopping at the lantern festival, so they had to return to the clinic first.
Just as Zhou Jie and Liu Ruoxin entered the clinic, Zhu Yipin's people also came back. However, Zhao Buzhu was not in a good state. His entire body was trembling and he was foaming at the mouth.
Zhou Jie saw that Zhao Buzhu seemed to have gone crazy and asked curiously,""What happened to Zhao Buzhu?"
"I'm fine. I was just a little shocked.”Zhu Yipin helped Zhao Buzhu to sit on the recliner and answered Zhou Jie's question.
Zhu Yipin grabbed a prescription for calming the nerves fluently and wanted to fry it to calm Zhao Buzhu down. Seeing that there was nothing else for them to do, the others also returned to their rooms.
In the middle of the night, a scream woke Zhou Jie up from his sleep.
When Zhou Jie arrived at the lobby, he found that everyone was already there. Looking at the facial masks on Chen Anan and Zhao Buzhu's faces, Zhou Jie immediately knew what was going on. However, it was really amazing that facial masks had appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Chinese medical skills were so profound that they had invented facial masks hundreds of years earlier than Westerners.
Zhao Buzhu was still in shock and said nervously,"Is it because we thought the ghosts and gods were joking?”
Zhu Yipin rolled his eyes. As the saying goes, if you don't do something wrong, you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. What are you afraid of?”
As if to confirm Zhu Yipin's words, someone knocked on the door. Zhu Yipin, Zhao Buzhu, and Chen Anan hugged each other in shock.
Zhou Jie was really speechless. He had just spoken so righteously, but now that the situation had arisen, he immediately admitted defeat.
Zhou Jie shook his head and walked towards the door.
"Don't open the door!" Zhao Buzhu saw that Zhou Jie was about to open the door and quickly stopped him.
However, it was too late. Zhou Jie had already opened the door. He saw a child about ten years old wearing a cat mask and white clothes standing outside the door.
Zhou Jie was about to ask when the child suddenly fell unconscious.
Zhou Jie quickly carried the child and placed him on the bed in the lobby.
Seeing this, Zhu Yipin hurriedly took off the mask on the child's face, opened his eyes to take a look, and reached out to take his pulse.
"Not good! This child is poisoned." Zhu Yipin's expression suddenly changed. He had not expected such a thing to happen.
"He (she)? Isn't that the child I saw at the lantern festival?”Liu Ruoxin exclaimed when she saw the child. She held the child's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.
"This child's face is livid and his pulse is weak. He is also vomiting. This is a typical case of turbid gas poisoning.”
"Since it's poison, quickly prescribe medicine to detoxify it!”Liu Ruoxin was so worried that she only wanted to save this child, completely ignoring the consequences.
"I'm a doctor, not a god. How can I prescribe medicine randomly?"”
"I have a Detoxification Pill that I obtained when I was traveling in the Jianghu. Its effect is extraordinary. It can even suppress the world's strange poisons. "Moreover, there are no side effects. Why don't we give it a try?" Zhou Jie secretly exchanged a yellow-grade antidote pill from the system and wanted to give it to the child.
Zhu Yipin knew that Zhou Jie wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. He nodded and agreed.
Zhou Jie put the antidote pill into the child's mouth and used his True Qi to dissolve the pill to facilitate absorption.
The effect of the Detoxification Pill was extraordinary. It had an effect right after he took it. The child's expression changed drastically. He turned over to the bed and vomited. After vomiting, his expression became much better.
Zhu Yipin hurriedly went forward to take his pulse, then shook his head helplessly and said,"This medicine has cleared most of the poison, but this child has been poisoned for too long. The poison is deeply rooted. Without a special antidote, it will be difficult to remove the remaining poison. Right now, I can only use medicine to temporarily suppress the remaining poison so that it won't erupt. As for the antidote, I'll have to study it properly first!”
Zhou Jie was very surprised. He didn't expect that the antidote pill produced by the system couldn't completely detoxify the poison.
Just as Zhou Jie was in shock, the system's voice sounded.
