Chapter 682 - 682 Good Name
682 Good Name
Su Xiaolu almost choked on her saliva when she heard this.
She turned to ask Old Wu, “Master, did you hear what Chu Jin shouted?”
Old Wu rolled his eyes and said angrily, “I heard him. He said he picked up your cousin.”
Su Xiaolu stood up and walked out. If she didn’t hear wrongly, Chu Jin had really picked up her cousin, Hu Changshou.
!!
Su Xiaolu quickly came out. Chu Jin asked his subordinates to carry Hu Changshou over. He revealed his white teeth and smiled. “Look, this is your cousin, Hu Changshou, right? His name is really good. He has a long life and is just like his name.”
This time, there were the most ferocious beasts in the foreign land. They had encountered countless bears, wolves, and tigers. Their group had all suffered losses. Hu Changshou had survived until now alone. Wasn’t he just like his name?
Hu Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not know how to face Su Xiaolu at first. Now that he saw the worry in Su Xiaolu’s eyes, he smiled at her and said calmly, “Xiaolu, I’m sorry.”
Su Xiaolu smiled faintly. “Chu Jin is right. You have a good name.”
As Su Xiaolu spoke, she had already reached out to take Hu Changshou’s pulse.
Su Xiaolu did not expect to see Hu Changshou in this foreign land after almost two months.
They had encountered many dangers along the way, let alone Hu Changshou alone.
Chu Jin was right when he said that he had a good name.
Su Xiaolu took out a medicine bottle, poured out a pill, and fed it to Hu Changshou.
Hu Changshou was about to speak when Su Xiaolu spoke first. “Don’t speak first. Your situation is very strange. I don’t know what’s going on yet. I might not be able to save you.”
Hu Changshou swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. The medicine Su Xiaolu gave him was very refreshing as soon as it entered his mouth. After he bit it open, he felt a force quickly repair his body.
He felt like a tree that had been dry for a long time and had been nourished by the rain. It was so comfortable.
“Have some water first.”
Su Xiaolu went to get water and fed Hu Changshou some.
Hu Changshou drank it all and ate something. He was brought to a separate tent with only Su Xiaolu by his side.
Hu Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Xiaolu, thank you. Actually, I don’t have any regrets anymore. In such a place, you don’t have to bring me along. I don’t want to be a burden. Actually, it’s quite good here. I feel that this is a good place to rest in peace.”
Hu Changshou smiled after saying that. Before Su Xiaolu could speak, he said, “Xiaolu, I know what you want to say, but this is my choice. In my current state, it’s best if I don’t go out. Really.”
Hu Changshou was begging. He was really afraid that Su Xiaolu would bring him out. He would only become a burden. He was unwilling to live like that.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “You really don’t know what I’m going to say, but since you’re worried about this, I’ll promise you to let you make your own choice. If you’re still not good when we are leaving, I’ll leave you here.”
“But,” Su Xiaolu changed her tone and continued, “Before that, I think you can try to control the poison in your body.”
Hu Changshou was stunned and looked at Su Xiaolu in confusion.
Su Xiaolu grabbed Hu Changshou’s hand and said seriously to him, “You can’t move now because the poison has paralyzed all your nerves, but this poison is actually a part of your body. It belongs to you. I don’t know how you got to this point, but it’s extraordinary that you didn’t die when the poison circulated throughout your body.”
“Moreover, now that the foreign realms have fused with our world, nothing is impossible. What if this poison is originally one with you? You can control this poison.”
Su Xiaolu felt that Hu Changshou might know too little.
When Hu Changshou heard this, he indeed had an epiphany. He calmed down for a while before saying, “Does this mean that I’m like a poisonous snake? The poison in my body is my own. I can poison others, but not myself?”
Su Xiaolu touched her chin and nodded. “That’s about right. The venom of a poisonous snake is in its teeth, and your venom is in your entire body. Although it’s not the same, the logic is the same.”
“Look at me. I can use the power of water. I can control water. In the foreign world, there will be many unimaginable gains, so don’t find it strange. Anyway, you can give it a try if you can think of it. Don’t think it’s too complicated. Just treat it as if it’s your own hands and feet. Isn’t it normal for you to walk, eat, and drink by yourself? Just treat it as normal.”
Comprehension was often the simpler the better.
Sometimes, thinking about things too deeply would trap one’s mind instead.
“Okay, I’ll try. Thank you, Xiaolu.”
Hu Changshou said gratefully to Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu smiled and shook her head. She did not say anything else and stood up to leave.
On the path of foreign abilities, no one seemed to be able to help each other. They could only explore and sense it themselves or comprehend it through the experience of others. However, no one knew how much they could comprehend.
Anything was possible. Everything could be changed.
Every part of the foreign world seemed to have something different.
She wondered what the worlds would be like after they completely fused.
Su Xiaolu left the tent and returned to the medicine station. Smelling the faint medicinal fragrance, she felt relaxed and happy. In terms of medicine, it was a field she was familiar with.
At night, Su Xiaolu sent food to Hu Changshou and fed him. After feeding him, Hu Changshou said apologetically, “I don’t feel anything yet.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and said calmly, “Not so fast. Take your time. Anyway, there’s still a long time. There’s no hurry.”
Hu Changshou smiled. He was really lucky.
“By the way, do you want to use the toilet? Don’t be embarra.s.sed. I’ll get someone to help you. It’s fine. It’s a very normal thing.”
Su Xiaolu thought of this and was very serious.
Hu Changshou blushed and quickly shook his head. He said helplessly, “No need, no need. There’s really no need. I don’t know what’s going on, but I don’t seem to need to relieve myself. Actually, it’s been a long time since I did. It might have something to do with me becoming like this.”
Speaking of this, Hu Changshou also felt that it was a little magical, but this was the truth. He didn’t seem to need to excrete. He didn’t know if he still needed to excrete after he returned to normal, but he didn’t need to for the time being.
This was magical, but it was also convenient for him. It was quite good and convenient.
Su Xiaolu looked at Hu Changshou for a while. After confirming that he was not saying this because he was embarra.s.sed, she was relieved. She said, “Alright, then. Learn more during this period of time. Ask me anything. If I think of anything else, I’ll tell you. Let’s not talk about anything else for now. At least for the time being, let’s work hard, alright?”
Su Xiaolu comforted him seriously. Hu Changshou felt warmth in his heart. He smiled at Su Xiaolu and nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
