He clenched his fists and turned his head. He held his breath and said softly," Cough, who hasn't been muddle-headed before?"”
Sensing that her legs were a little stiff, Shi Chuxue raised her head." Am I too strong? Should we be gentler?"
With that, her soft fingers relaxed a little. She caressed the man's leg like she was tickling him.
The instep, the sole, the calf, as they swam, they were all ticklish like small worms crawling. Finally, Xia Hanzhi laughed out loud." Wife, you... tickled me... I'm dying..."
She naturally called him 'wife'.
Shi Chuxue stopped what she was doing and raised her head, her big sparkling eyes smiling as she glanced at him." You're also very sensitive. You look huge, who would have thought that you're so sensitive…"
She pursed her lips and smiled so widely that her eyes and eyebrows were wide open. Her gentle appearance made the man smile secretly. It seemed that the feeling of having a wife was really not bad. It seemed to be much better than the life he had imagined.
Just as his heart warmed up, Shi Chuxue started to move closer to his leg and remove the bandage.
"Don't…"
Sensing her intentions, Xia Hanzhi quickly stopped her.
"Let me see how serious this sore is. If it didn't work, it was better to go and take a look earlier.”
"Don't…don't look anymore, I'm afraid you'll be disgusted.”
Xia Hanzhi shook his head and reached out to block it.
"It's fine. We're husband and wife. Why would I dislike you?”
When he met her determined gaze, the man slowly released his grip. "You, don't scare me."
The cloth strips were removed layer by layer.
A foul smell followed.
Shi Chuxue took a deep breath and didn't stop moving. She took off the bandages in one go.
He kept staring at her and saw that she didn't have any disgust. Xia Hanzhi was relieved. Even his family members were unwilling to change the bandages on his legs and hands. Even if they were to change, they would all be disgusted…
When she saw the so-called malignant sore on his leg, Shi Chuxue was a little stunned.
"This?" It didn't look like a malignant sore!
Shouldn't the sores be oozing with pus? However, his body was a little black.
"Wife, this isn't a malignant sore, it's…poison. Half a year ago, my brothers and I went on a secret mission. That person sprinkled poison powder on us. After that, we became like this, with pus flowing out and our flesh rotting. The doctor said that his legs and hands were probably going to be crippled.”
Towards the end, Xia Hanzhi's tone became dejected. He used to be the pillar of the family, but now, he was going to become a disabled person with broken arms and legs.
"It's just poisoning. Can't we just detoxify it?”
"I'm afraid it's…difficult!" Xia Hanzhi's face turned red, but he did not elaborate further.
"How difficult?" Shi Chuxue didn't understand and asked.
"Don't worry about it…Anyway, I'll try my best to support you.”The man said angrily, wanting to lift his foot.
Shi Chuxue blinked twice and held him down." I know, you're just broke, right? Then let me think of another way. As long as it's a problem that can be solved with money, it's not a problem.”
If he lacked money, he could earn it. His legs were crippled, and that was a lifetime thing. She did not want to marry a disabled person either. Therefore, the first thing to do next was to earn money to show the man.
"Hehe, earning money is not that easy.”
Xia Hanzhi was too embarrassed to say it. As a man, he wanted to earn money every day, and he was about to go crazy.
"How is it not easy? As long as you think positively, there's nothing that can't be done. We'll definitely think of a way.”
"Forget it, let's not mess around. Earlier, my brothers in the yamen also raised a large sum of money. After looking at it for half a year, they didn't see anything good.”
So, marrying her was to bring joy. "So I'm a bride who came here with a wedding gift.”Shi Chuxue teased.
Xia Hanzhi was even more embarrassed now. He stammered and explained," Well, it was originally planned to be No. 5's marriage. The village's witch said that my leg might be fine after a shower. So…"
"I know. You were engaged to my sister earlier. Hehe, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to marry into your family.”
"Sorry to trouble you."
"As long as you treat me well and don't feel wronged.”Shi Chuxue raised her head, her gentle smile filled with sincerity. Xia Hanzhi blurted out," Of course I'm good to you, my wife."”
" Hehe…" Shi Chuxue chuckled and turned around to take a knife to cut off the flesh on his leg.
This job was disgusting and smelly, but she only did it seriously from the beginning to the end.
His serious expression softened Xia Hanzhi's serious face.
When she was applying the medicine, she looked at the black medicine and sniffed it." What is the medicine this doctor prescribed for? Wasn't poison supposed to be taken internally?”
" This…they said it's a malignant sore…" What he meant was that his legs and hands had always been treated as malignant sores.
Shi Chuxue shook her head." Oh, you guys, what kind of doctor did you hire?"”It was obvious that he was bluffing.
"Mother arranged it."
This time, Shi Chuxue didn't say anything. Obviously, this family is Liu Shi in charge.
"This doctor? Where are you from?"
"Doctor Zhang from the neighboring village."
" Hehe…" Shi Chuxue laughed. It seemed like this was how Madam Liu managed the family and money.
"How much money did your brothers raise for your treatment?”
"About forty to fifty taels.”
Forty to fifty taels.
In the countryside, it would be a huge expense. However, this sum of money was only used to hire a local doctor in the village for Xia Hanzhi. He really didn't know how the medical fees were spent.
Shi Chuxue took a deep breath, trying her best to suppress the raging anger in her heart.
