Chapter 311 June 6…
The group returned to the inn via the small path.
Although Xiao Yihuo's heart meridians were sealed and he did not look as painful as he did in the forest after taking the pill, he remained unconscious.
From time to time, he frowned, and a few low murmurs escaped from between his lips and teeth.
Liu Yunhe stayed by Xiao Yihuo's side, keeping a close eye on him and wiping the sweat from his forehead with a clean handkerchief.
"Qingchuan, you just said in Lin Zhong that the poison in his body has been flaring up more and more frequently. What's going on? He..." Lin Lezhi glanced at Xiao Yihuo, his eyes full of worry, and his voice softened as he spoke. "How often did the flare-ups happen before?"
Qingchuan didn't hide it from Lin Lezhi and told him the truth, "It used to happen every three months. The last time Lezhi left Zhouqing Town, the poison in Ah Xu's body broke out a month early. Fortunately, with Ah Xu's internal strength and the effect of the medicine, the poison in his body was temporarily suppressed."
As he spoke, Qingchuan's eyes darkened and he continued, "Fortunately, when Ah Xu was with you in the basement, I retrieved one of the bone lotus flowers. I made it into three pills and asked Ah Xu to take one pill every month to control the poison in his body and to confirm whether it was effective. But I didn't expect that Ah Xu hadn't taken it once in the three months before he came here."
"Why doesn't he eat?"
"He probably feels that this medicine is hard to come by. After all... before he met my Ah Xu, he had always been suppressing it with his internal energy."
Lin Lezhi looked at the pale-faced Xiao Yihuo lying on the bed, his eyes wavering as he asked, "Has he never had an attack before you came?"
Qingchuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Ah Xu has always been strong-willed and doesn't want us to worry, so he never tells us about those subtle attacks, and always suppresses the poison in secret. However, this attack happened less than a day after the last one, so it shouldn't be like this."
There were signs of Xiao Yihuo's poison when he landed on the island.
Xiao Yihuo said that he realized something was wrong with his body when he was on the boat, and then in the tunnel underground. The poison in his body could no longer be suppressed and broke out when he used his internal strength to drive away the snake.
Then there was the day before when Hong Mingxu saved him, and then there was this time tonight.
It was just six days, and it only started on the seventh day.
There were five attacks, big and small, in total.
Seeing that Lin Lezhi's expression was becoming more and more worried and solemn, although Qingchuan was also anxious in his heart, they had seen Ah Xu like this more often than Lin Lezhi, and they seemed calmer than Lin Lezhi.
Qingchuan said slowly: "Lezhi, it's getting late. You and Brother Guan should go back and rest first. Ah Xu has me and Yun He. If Ah Xu has any problems, I will inform you in time."
Lin Lezhi couldn't say anything else now, so he could only say with a trembling look in his eyes, "Okay."
Back in the room, Lin Lezhi walked to the table. There was a bowl of cold medicine on the table. Lin Lezhi's eyes flickered slightly. Just as he was about to pick up the medicine and drink it all in one gulp, Guan Ziheng saw it and immediately ran over to stop him, saying, "Don't drink the medicine if it's cold. I'll go to the kitchen to heat it up for you and will be back soon."
After saying that, Guan Ziheng took the bowl of medicine and tiptoed out of the room.
Looking at Guan Ziheng's departing figure, the trembling in Lin Lezhi's eyes deepened and his eyes were filled with the indebtedness he felt towards Guan Ziheng, but his heavy expression showed that he had something more important to do immediately.
He casually picked up a bag of herbs that Guan Ziheng had just bought today, removed the outermost layer, and went to the table alone to write and draw something on a piece of paper.
When Guan Ziheng came back, he saw Lin Lezhi sitting at the table with a worried look on his face, as if he was thinking about something extremely important.
Guan Ziheng was afraid of disturbing Lin Lezhi, but if the medicine was not taken while it was hot, it would not be most effective. He gently placed the medicine bowl in front of Lin Lezhi and whispered, "Drink the medicine while it's hot first."
Lin Lezhi had been lost in thought, too focused and serious. He only snapped back to reality when he heard Guan Ziheng's voice. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes as he said, "Okay."
Lin Lezhi drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, and said with apology and gratitude in his eyes: "Ziheng, thank you."
After being thanked by Lin Lezhi, Guan Zihengdao felt a little uncomfortable. He smiled and said awkwardly, "Why should we thank each other? Um... did I disturb you?"
"No." Lin Lezhi looked at what he had written on the table, "I've already finished it."
Lin Lezhi had no intention of hiding anything from Guan Ziheng.
After taking a look, Guan Ziheng looked bewildered and asked, "What are you writing on this?"
"Can't you recognize it?"
Lin Lezhi asked seriously.
Lin Lezhi is a modern person, and he suddenly switched to writing with a brush, so his handwriting is crooked and barely recognizable. There are a few words that look quite neat against the backdrop of the ferocious characters next to them.
At least.
Lin Lezhi himself sincerely feels that some of his words are still very beautiful.
Even though Guan Ziheng had seen Lin Lezhi's calligraphy before, every time he saw it, he would still be shocked. The eight words "baring fangs and claws" and "hard to describe" would flash through his mind.
As early as when Lin Lezhi proposed to write storybooks together to make money, he saw Lin Lezhi's brilliant literary talent and asked him why he didn't write it himself.
Then Lin Lezhi said nothing, but just wrote his own name with his pen and paper. The moment Guan Ziheng saw the crooked characters, he understood everything at a glance.
It is said that the handwriting reflects the character of the person.
Lin Lezhi is still very handsome, especially his pair of almond-shaped eyes which are always bright and shining like stars. Coupled with his free and easy manner in dealing with people and things, the charm he exudes is unstoppable.
But how to say...
This word.
It also has Lin Lezhi's style, casual and unrestrained, creating his own style.
The contrast between the brilliant writing and the messy words was quite stark, and it puzzled Guan Ziheng because Lin Lezhi was obviously literate and what he said was quite insightful, which made him admire and believe him.
Later, Guan Ziheng could only convince himself that everyone has different talents and weaknesses.
Since Lin Lezhi asked whether he could deny it, it meant that he himself knew that what he wrote was difficult to describe in words.
Lin Lezhi wrote a lot of numbers on the paper. Some of the numbers were upside down, some were circled, and there were some small dots next to them.
Roughly as follows.
June 6th.
Then write them one by one from a long distance away.
(sixteen)
fifteen
(sixteen)..
()
Eighteen
Nineteen
(twenty)
twenty one
(twenty two)
The two sixteens, as well as the twenty and twenty, are all circled, and there are two black dots behind the sixteen. It is hard to tell whether they were accidentally poked in or added intentionally.
Moreover, the crooked gestures and the color of the paper always gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere, but he couldn't remember where.
Just looking at these numbers made Guan Ziheng confused, and looking at these distorted words made him even more dizzy.
Unable to refuse to think about it any further, he simply asked directly.
Worried about upsetting Lin Lezhi, Guan Ziheng tried his best to hide his inner thoughts from his face. He smiled and said, "I recognize it. I wanted to ask... what do the date you wrote, the circle you drew on it, and the little black dots around it mean?"
Guan Ziheng had already witnessed Xiao Yihuo's condition, so there was no need to hide the poisoning. Lin Lezhi spoke truthfully, "The days in this circle represent Xiao Xu's bouts of poisoning. During his time in Pinghai Town, he had five bouts of poisoning, both major and minor, and one in Zhouqing Town, for a total of six, which is the sixteen in the first circle. However... I had already left by then and didn't see it."
Lin Lezhi's eyes darkened, filled with self-blame. He wavered and continued to explain, "The points outside the circle represent the number of times he had an attack on the same day."
He did not tell Qingchuan and Yunhe what happened on the boat and in the cave. After all, Xiao Yihuo had been holding it in because he did not want them to worry about him.
After Lin Lezhi explained, Guan Ziheng finally understood the numbers. He pointed to the number 'June 6' at the top and asked, "What date is this?"
When asked this by Guan Ziheng, Lin Lezhi felt quite frightened.
The nursery rhyme resurfaced in my ears.
"June 6th, the bride..."
That was the day he first came into this world, and also the day he first met Xiao Yihuo.
then.
He also thought that Xiao Xu was not Xiao Yihuo, just a person with the same name but a different surname.
He actually didn't want to hide the truth from Guan Ziheng, but the idea of traveling through a book was too unbelievable, and he didn't know how to tell Guan Ziheng.
Lin Lezhi said solemnly, "It's the day when Xiao Yihuo and I first met. It's convenient for counting the days. After all, it's been nearly four months, which is a bit long."
Guan Ziheng nodded, but looking at the messy arrangement, he still felt a little bit uncomfortable with it. "That's true, it's indeed more convenient."
"Ziheng..."
"what happened?"
Lin Lezhi suddenly felt uncertain and uneasy. His heart beat faster, his breathing became stagnant, and his chest rose and fell.
Seeing this, Guan Ziheng's eyes were filled with worry and he said, "Wuyou, are you feeling unwell? I'll go get Doctor Qingchuan right away."
Lin Lezhi pulled Guan Ziheng aside and said, "I'm not feeling unwell, I just..."
After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Guan Ziheng with an apologetic and uneasy look in his eyes, yet also revealed a hint of determination. He slowly said, "Ziheng, I didn't intentionally hide my identity from you before. June 6th was also the day I lost my memory. I... can't remember who I am."
