Chapter 256: After 2 lifetimes, only one heartbeat
Xue Zhiyi stayed in Huo Wuyou's room all night, and before he knew it, it was almost dawn.
Before an antidote is found, Sui Yunlang can only consider giving him medication based on past experience, at least to suppress the spread of the poison.
"Sui Yunlang." She said hoarsely, "Tell me the truth, what will happen if there is no antidote?"
Sui Yunlang paused while holding the scale, lowered his eyes, and was silent for a moment. He said, "Wuyou once caught a wild rabbit for me to test the drug. I also want to try it. If someone is poisoned like him, is there a way to detoxify? But no matter how hard we try, the poisoned wild rabbit will die within half a month."
Xue Zhiyi's heart trembled with the weight of the balance scale. As if unwilling to give up, she asked, "What about the common method you mentioned? Slowly taking medicine to remove the poison from the body bit by bit over a long period of time, isn't that possible?"
There was only expectation in her eyes, and she was eager to get a positive answer from Sui Yunlang.
But all he got was a sigh: "Wuyou's brother and I grew up together and are close friends. Wuyou is a few years younger than me, and to me, he is no different from a brother. Miss Xue, my hope for his recovery is no less than yours. If there is a way, I will try my best to do it... Now, we can only hope that he is lucky enough and Jiang Xu and the others can get the antidote."
Xue Zhiyi lowered his eyes to hide the moisture in them, and looked at Huo Wuyou lying on the couch. That face that always smiled casually seemed to have lost its color at this moment.
All of this happened so suddenly, so suddenly that they were caught off guard. Xue Zhiyi himself hadn't expected that his heart would hurt so much when he saw him get into trouble...
Huo Wuyou's palms were slightly stretched out at his sides, and Xue Zhiyi's fingertips fell on his palms. His hands seemed a little colder than usual. Xue Zhiyi's hands slowly moved until he reluctantly held his hands.
She felt so upset that she closed her eyes and frowned, trying to hold back her tears.
At this moment, there was a slight rise and fall of her fingertips... Xue Zhiyi opened her eyes, and saw Huo Wuyou's hand moving, and that hand held her back, allowing the blue glazed flowers at the base of their palms to merge into one again.
Xue Zhiyi raised his eyes and saw Huo Wuyou's eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
"You're awake?" Xue Zhiyi was happy, but his eyes turned red unconsciously.
Sui Yunlang also hurried forward to check: "Wuyou, how do you feel?"
His Adam's apple rose and fell, his breathing became heavy, and his dull eyes gradually focused after a long time, and finally landed on Xue Zhiyi's face: "...what happened?"
Sui Yunlang's voice was choked with sobs that were difficult to suppress. After he finished explaining, the confusion in Huo Wuyou's eyes gradually dissipated: "I remember you said that the poison has no antidote."
Sui Yunlang quickly denied: "My medical skills are shallow, so there is no solution. If we find the antidote, everything will be fine. Jiang Xu and the others have already gone to get it."
But Huo Wuyou coughed a few times: "Did the poison enter my brain? How can I still hear you say that my medical skills are shallow in my lifetime?"
Seeing that he still had the mind to joke, Sui Yunlang wanted to push him, but fortunately he still had medical ethics and did not do anything.
After provoking Sui Yunlang, his eyes wandered to Xue Zhiyi's face, and his eyes gradually became gentle and soft: "Crying?"
It would have been better if he didn't say this. After he said this, Xue Zhiyi really wanted to cry. She sniffed, avoided his gaze, and held back her tears.
Huo Wuyou tightened his grip on her hand, and there was a smile in his weak voice: "It's rare to see you cry in front of me. I've seen it twice today. It's even rarer to see you cry for me. What luck did I have today?"
As he said that, he gently shook Xue Zhiyi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't die that easily."
Sui Yunlang was listening, and he wanted to cry and curse: "Can you save your energy and put away all your sour words for a while?"
Huo Wuyou started to act like a spoiled brat: "You said I was full of sour words, but I think it's you who are sour."
Sui Yunlang raised his fist almost enough to break through the constraints of medical ethics and hit Huo Wuyou, but then they heard the door open. The three of them looked and saw that it was Yan Gui who had returned.
As soon as they saw him coming, Xue Zhiyi and Sui Yunlang almost surrounded him at the same time.
Sui Yunlang asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
However, Yan Gui's face was gloomy. "We have used all the necessary tortures, but... but Chai Xun said that there is no antidote for this poison. He said that this poison is called the Seven Days to Eliminate Hatred. After being poisoned, one will definitely die within seven days. Since the poison was prepared, there has never been an antidote..."
Xue Zhiyi only felt her body shaking. This was the first time she had tasted despair since her rebirth...
“No…” Sui Yunlang’s voice was a little hoarse with excitement: “If someone who doesn’t understand pharmacology tells a lie, there will definitely be many loopholes. That old man lied about the antidote, he could fool others but not me!”
He pulled Yan Gui and said, "Take me to see him!"
Xue Zhiyi remained silent. At this moment, besides despair, she felt an irrepressible anger... It was as if she wanted to get rid of every enemy in the past, and she wished she could grind these people to ashes and send them to hell!
You don't want to hand over the antidote, right? It must be because the torture was not enough! I don't believe that even if the entire Chai family was chopped into pieces in front of Chai Xun, he would still be stubborn and refuse to hand over the antidote!
Just as she was about to follow Yan Gui to see Chai Xun, Huo Wuyou's voice came from behind her: "Zhi Yi..."
Xue Zhiyi paused.
"Zhiyi, stay with me, don't leave me."
Her heart softened and tears fell uncontrollably.
In fact, she herself knew that both she and Sui Yunlang were just deceiving themselves.
They just want the antidote, not the lives of the Chai family, nor do they want Chai Xun to betray King Sheng. If he still refuses to give in after all the torture, it is likely that there is no antidote left. If they are pushed too far and the antidote is forced out of them, will they dare to use it?
She turned her head and looked at Huo Wuyou lying on the sickbed. She felt the pain in her heart almost spread to every part of her body.
Sitting down in front of his couch, she could no longer bear it and just looked at him, tears streaming down her face.
Huo Wuyou raised his hand and gently stroked her hair: "Don't cry, I won't die in seven days. Sui Yunlang has tried, and he has a way to extend it to half a month. Maybe, if I delay it, I won't have to die."
"It's because of me." Her voice became hoarse again: "If you hadn't come to save me, this wouldn't have happened..."
Hearing this, Huo Wuyou felt a little hurt: "So you were crying because of guilt, I thought..."
He suddenly smiled: "I thought it was because he had me in his heart and couldn't bear to leave me."
Xue Zhiyi choked up, and amidst his low sobs, he said two words with great certainty: "I have you."
It was these two words that made Huo Wuyou's eyelashes tremble slightly: "You, say it again."
"Huo Wuyou, I have you in my heart. You are the only person I love in this life."
Not only in this life, but also in her two lives, it was the only time her heart was moved... Her two lives were like an eternal night, but a beam of light entered the room unreasonably, making her feel as if she was unaware, from being unable to control herself to being unable to extricate herself, silently and deeply engraved in her bones...
