523 Grat.i.tude

She personally fed him and smiled at Zhou Zhi. “If you don’t want to eat it, I have other ways, but it would be more disgusting.”

There was a sly look in Su Xiaolu’s eyes.

Zhou Zhi couldn’t help but laugh. He asked, “What method? I want to know.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Use a long bamboo tube to insert it into your mouth and pour it in. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely seal your acupuncture points. You won’t be able to move.”

“Are you willing to eat like this? Or like that?”

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi seriously and asked him sincerely.

The corners of Zhou Zhi’s lips twitched. He opened his mouth cooperatively and said, “Then I’ll eat like this.”

He never wanted to try such a method in his life.

He did not know if it was the aftereffects of the antidote, but he had lost his sense of taste. He could tell that the minced meat porridge should taste very good, but when he ate it, there was no taste at all. It was like chewing wax, making his entire body resist.

He tried his best to convince himself to swallow, even though the process was painful.

Su Xiaolu seemed to know everything. Even if he ate slowly, she waited for him.

This bowl lasted for an hour.

After eating, Su Xiaolu smiled brightly. “Alright, you won’t starve to death today.”

Zhou Zhi smiled. “Thank you, Xiaolu.”

Su Xiaolu yawned. “I’m going down to sleep. Call me if you’re feeling unwell.”

Su Xiaolu went back to her room to sleep.

Compared to Zhou Zhi’s appet.i.te, Su Xiaolu’s appet.i.te was huge. Every meal was very to her liking.

On December 25th, Sun Yangxin brought Zhou Wenjing to visit her.

Seeing Su Xiaolu, Zhou Wenjing knelt down with the children in her arms.

Her eyes were red as she sobbed. “Miss Su, thank you for saving my children. Thank you.”

It was precisely because of Su Xiaolu’s disregard for the past that her son and daughter could descend into this world.

Su Xiaolu helped Zhou Wenjing up. “Get up.”

Sun Yangxin also looked grateful. “Xiaolu, thank you for saving them so that I could be their father.”

During this period of time, both him and Zhou Wenjing had changed drastically.

There were some things that did not need to be exposed, but the two of them understood.

He decided to start over well. It was good for him and Zhou Wenjing.

The two children were also healthy.

“Lord Sun, if you want to thank me, you should work more for the people. This is the best thank you.”

Whether it was peaceful times or chaotic times, the general public was suffering. There were very few people who could really do things for the people. Sun Yangxin was a good official. If he could benefit the people, it would be a blessing.

Sun Yangxin nodded.

After meeting Su Xiaolu, Sun Yangxin and Zhou Wenjing left Fengpo Platform.

He asked Jin Liu to send over 50 taels of silver, saying that it was the consultation fee for the doctor. Su Xiaolu put it away.

Fifty taels was not much, but it was also a huge sum for the current Sun Yangxin. Su Xiaolu was still satisfied with his att.i.tude.

December 28th was the last day of detoxification. Zhou Zhi had also survived this detoxification.

Zhou Zhi had lost weight and looked sickly.

In the last two days, he really could not even eat a drop of water. He would vomit if he ate anything. Su Xiaolu was scaring him after all. She would not really force him to drink and eat.

After putting away the last needle, Su Xiaolu began to pack her things.

Jin Si and the others looked anxious. Jin Si went forward and asked, “Miss Su, is Master really alright? Will he still be unable to eat?”

Because he could not eat, Zhou Zhi was visibly getting thinner. He was getting thinner by the day, and his face was as pale as a ghost.

During the day, he spent less and less time awake. Most of the time, he was unconscious, making them anxious and uneasy.

Su Xiaolu rolled her eyes at Jin Si and the others. “There’s no need for acupuncture or a medicinal bath. Of course, he’ll return to normal. In the entire year after the new year, his body has to recuperate well and you have to fatten him up. The third detoxification at the end of the year will take at least 21 days. I don’t know if he can survive such a long time otherwise.”

Hearing Su Xiaolu’s words, Jin Si and the others heaved a sigh of relief, but they quickly became anxious again.

How could they fatten up their master?

Only those who were in good health could take it if they couldn’t eat for a long time, and fat people could take it longer than thin people.

“Alright, I’ll go and rest first. We can set off home tomorrow.”

Su Xiaolu yawned. Although she had eaten a lot recently, she was also tired, so she had lost weight.

Ever since the plague last year, she seemed to be unable to gain weight no matter how much she ate. It was neither good nor bad. Her body and her chest were not fat. Who wouldn’t want to have a pair of impressive figures?

After a good sleep, Su Xiaolu got up and Jin Liu called her to eat.

Su Xiaolu went over and the table was filled with delicacies. Zhou Zhi sat at the table and waited for her. He smiled slightly when he saw her.

Su Xiaolu felt that even if Zhou Zhi was skin and bones, he would still be a beautiful skeleton.

Zhou Zhi’s appet.i.te today was still not big, but compared to before, he could not eat a single bite. This was already very good.

He ate half a bowl of porridge, half a meatball, half a fishball, and half a bowl of fish soup.

The rest of the time, he was putting food into Su Xiaolu’s bowl.

After eating, they set off.

Su Xiaolu started to feel sleepy after getting into the carriage.

Zhou Zhi smiled gently and said, “Xiaolu, go to sleep. I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”

Su Xiaolu nodded. She was indeed sleepy.

She was sleeping soundly. Apart from the b.u.mpy road, everything else was fine.

Back in the capital, Su Xiaolu woke up and realized that she was leaning against Zhou Zhi’s shoulder. She touched her nose in embarra.s.sment. No wonder she felt very uncomfortable. It turned out that she had unknowingly leaned against Zhou Zhi’s shoulder. He was so thin and his bones must be very uncomfortable.

“We’re almost home.”

Su Xiaolu sighed.

She and Zhou Zhi had a tacit understanding not to talk about this.

Zhou Zhi nodded. “We just entered the city and I was about to call you when you woke up. We’ll reach the Su residence soon.”

Su Xiaolu looked out of the small window and said, “The remaining poison in your body will be completely eliminated in three or four more times. The subsequent times will be harder and harder. You have to eat more when you go back to survive so many detoxifications.”

Looking at such a thin Zhou Zhi, Su Xiaolu did not know if he could really survive until all the poison was removed.

Zhou Zhi smiled gently and said softly, “Okay, I’ll eat well.”

He wanted to live. Even if that matter was full of absurdity, he still had to search for it.

As long as he didn’t want to die, he would be able to survive. He had in the past and would continue to do so in the future.

When they arrived at the Su residence, Su Xiaolu got out of the carriage.

Zhou Zhi waved at her gently. “Goodbye, Xiaolu.”

Su Xiaolu waved her hand perfunctorily and flew into the house.

Zhou Zhi smiled lightly. “Let’s go back.”

When Su Xiaolu returned home, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were overjoyed. Su Xiaolu hugged Madam Zhao. Madam Zhao’s eyes were red, and Su Xiaolu wheedled sweetly, “Mother, I came back at the right time, right? It’s the new year tomorrow. I’m home today, hehe.”
