“Xiaolu, how did you and Zhou Zhi meet? And how are you going to treat him tomorrow? His feet are gone. How are you going to treat him?”

Su Hua frowned slightly. He felt that Zhou Zhi was deliberately making things difficult for him. He probably hated them all, so he deliberately made things difficult for them.

Su Xiaolu told him about her trip to Qinglian Monastery today.

She had actually only met Zhou Zhi a few times. Su Xiaolu was also surprised that Zhou Zhi could recognize her in Qinglian Monastery.

“He asked about his leg today. I also told him that it’s impossible to regenerate a broken limb. If he wants to deliberately make things difficult for me, I won’t spoil him.”

Thinking that she still had to deal with Zhou Zhi tomorrow, Su Xiaolu did not agree to follow Zhou Zhi’s wishes. If Zhou Zhi wanted to make things difficult for her in terms of medical skills, it was impossible for her not to have a temper.

If she did not have a temper, Zhou Zhi would be even more difficult to deal with. Hence, it was impossible for her to give in.

Su Chong nodded. “Yes, we can’t let him. I won’t go out tomorrow either.”

He stayed behind to accompany her. If they really fought, he would not be someone to be trifled with.

Su Hua and Zhou Heng were about to say that they would stay when Su Xiaolu said helplessly, “Brother, he came alone. Aren’t we thinking too highly of him?”

Su Hua said, “Xiaolu is right. We should do what we have to do. It’s easier to arouse his suspicion if we are careful and vigilant.”

If it wasn’t necessary, there was no need for them to compete with Zhou Zhi face on.

Su Chong pondered seriously. “Brother Hua makes sense.”

But as the eldest brother, he felt strange letting Su Xiaolu face such a dangerous person alone.

Zhou Heng looked guilty. “I’m sorry. It’s all because of me. Xiaolu, is his leg really gone?”

Thinking of Zhou Zhi, Zhou Heng had mixed feelings. They had a poor relationship with this younger brother since they were young. He always rejected his closeness.

That matter was a hurdle that the brothers could never overcome.

Most of the time, he was really envious of Su Chong and Su Hua’s relationship. He also hoped that he and Zhou Zhi would have such a day where they could sit together and drink. However, this dream was ultimately just a dream.

The two of them were like fire and water.

Looking at Zhou Zhi’s leg today, Zhou Heng felt a lot of emotions. He looked at Su Xiaolu hopefully.

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Heng and said truthfully, “He said that his legs are prosthetic. I don’t know if they’re real or fake, but my Master said it before. His calves and feet have been amputated.”

Zhou Heng’s expression was dejected. He lowered his eyes and an indescribable pain spread in his heart. He knew that he and Zhou Zhi would never be able to drink and chat happily unless they went back in time, unless there was no damn order, unless Zhou Zhi’s legs returned.

Su Chong sighed and wanted to say something, but he realized that he was powerless to say anything now.

Su Hua was the same, so he did not say anything. He just reached out and patted Zhou Heng’s shoulder.

What Zhou Heng and Zhou Zhi had experienced was different from what their family had experienced.

If Zhou Zhi had sacrificed his legs to save Zhou Heng, everything would have been different. The truth was that Zhou Zhi had been given up. The seed of hatred had long been deeply planted. Now that he had lost his legs, Zhou Heng was still fine. When the brothers met, every time he saw that Zhou Heng was healthy, the hatred in his heart would turn into nutrients to nourish the tree of hatred.

And this hatred would never be resolved.

She hid her sigh and sympathy in her heart. The most important thing now was to protect Zhou Heng’s identity and not let Zhou Zhi discover it.

Knock knock knock.

Liu Zijin and Wang Huilan knocked on the door.

Su Hua said, “Let’s eat first. Let’s just act normal. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way.”

“Don’t tell Zijin about this. Don’t drag him into this.”

Thinking of Liu Zijin, Su Hua instructed.

Su Chong nodded. “I think so too. I’ll just say that Little Brother Heng can be called Su Heng for the time being. Zijin will understand.”

With Liu Zijin’s intelligence, he had probably guessed that there was some trouble. It was for his own good that they did not let him know.

Zhou Heng felt guilty and grateful. He nodded. “Okay.”

The few of them ate together. Su Hua only told Liu Zijin that Zhou Heng would temporarily be called Su Heng and to not call him the wrong name.

Liu Zijin and Wang Huilan nodded in agreement and did not ask why.

Everyone unanimously pretended that nothing had happened. After dinner, Su Xiaolu began to grind the medicine.

She looked at the worm in the jar again. It was still alive. It looked like it could live a long time away from the human body.

July 23rd.

Su Chong, Su Hua, Zhou Heng, and Liu Zijin woke up early and went out.

Wang Huilan was a little worried. She was afraid that she would expose herself, so she did not accompany Su Xiaolu and helped grind the medicine in the room.

Zhou Zhi came and Su Xiaolu invited him upstairs to his room.

He came alone with a gentle expression and looked easy to get along with. He looked like he was just here to see the doctor.

Su Xiaolu asked him to sit down. When she went downstairs to welcome Zhou Zhi just now, Su Xiaolu walked behind and observed Zhou Zhi’s feet. She could confirm that his feet were fake because after going upstairs, Zhou Zhi was much weaker. He walked very slowly and was trying his best to suppress his trembling body.

After sitting down, Zhou Zhi did not speak for a long time. His face was a little pale. He reached out and smiled at Su Xiaolu. “Miss Su, thank you.”

Su Xiaolu also smiled. She placed her hand on Zhou Zhi’s wrist. “Five hundred taels for a consultation.”

Zhou Zhi nodded gently. “Okay.”

He looked at Su Xiaolu gently with a smile in his eyes. Su Xiaolu looked away from him.

Zhou Zhi’s body temperature was low and he was very thin. His fingers were long and his joints were especially good-looking. His skin was also very pale and his body looked very unhealthy.

Su Xiaolu gradually frowned. Zhou Zhi’s body was indeed very unhealthy. There were many toxins in his body, and many meridians were blocked. Su Xiaolu did not dare to say that Zhou Zhi could live to the age of 20.

“Miss Su, how is my body?”

Zhou Zhi asked softly.

Su Xiaolu met Zhou Zhi’s eyes and said, “Your body is very weak. There’s a lot of toxins in your body.”

Zhou Zhi retracted his hand and smiled lightly. “Is that so? But the imperial physicians said that I’m very healthy.”

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu calmly. “Then can the toxins in my body be cured?”

Su Xiaolu did not speak. Zhou Zhi’s body was a poisonous artifact. Could it be cured? It was probably impossible. Even if it was cured, his body had long been destroyed by the poison and was useless.

Zhou Zhi was destined to have a short life!

Su Xiaolu did not speak, but Zhou Zhi was not in a hurry. He waited quietly. When Su Xiaolu looked at him, he would also look at her very intently.

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi’s hands on his knees and said, “Let me take a look at your leg first. Didn’t you say that your leg hurt yesterday?”

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “It doesn’t hurt today.”
