After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Men and women often express the same thing differently.

Wen Baizhi talked to Shang Yao about the side effects of Shengji Pills from her own perspective.

"Although the side effects are a matter of the future, people should always live in the present first, right? If he can't wake up now, how can there be a future, Yaoyao?"

What she was saying now were the same words she had said to comfort herself when she was giving Si Jiu the Shengji Pills.

Shang Yao was moved by her words: "Bai Bai, I'll trouble you for the fifteenth. If there is a chance later, I will tell you everything you want to know."

This is indeed what Wen Baizhi is most interested in now, but she can't show it openly: "It's too formal to say that. Your business is my business. Then Si Jiu and I will go back first, and find a chance to send it over after we get the vitality pill."

Before leaving, Shang Yao gave Wen Baizhi a bracelet of her own: "Baibai, when you come back later, show this bracelet to the maid guarding the door, and they will let you in."

This is equivalent to Shang Yao's pass. Wen Baizhi carefully put it in his arms.

"Then we'll go first, Yaoyao."

The two then returned to their residence along the same route.

Before I went to find Rong Heng, Rong Heng was already waiting in the room.

When Wen Baizhi saw Rong Heng, her eyes lit up, which made Rong Heng feel uneasy.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wen Baizhi didn't notice Si Jiu's expression of trying not to laugh, and only said to Rong Heng, "Doctor Rong, you came at the right time. Do you still have the vitality pill you made earlier?"

"Life-enhancing pill?" Rong Heng went to check on Si Jiu's condition as soon as he heard it.

Si Jiu hurriedly said: "It's not me, I'm fine for now."

Rong Heng looked at him and although he was still weak, he was definitely not in a state where he needed to take vitality pills.

"Who else are you?"

This matter involves a wide range of people. After all, Fifteen had just returned from Chidu after assassinating the king. The fewer people who know his whereabouts, the better.

Si Jiu and Wen Baizhi both knew the seriousness of the matter and would not easily reveal the truth.

At least we have to wait until Fifteen comes here, and then make up a new identity for him to deceive Rong Heng and give him treatment.

So Si Jiu could only prevaricate and say, "I don't need them for the time being, but who can say what will happen in the future? I just want to take some with me in case of emergency."

There had indeed been such a precedent before, and Rong Heng did not suspect anything. He took the bottle of vitality pills from his arms and handed it to Si Jiu.

"There are only two pills here, so use them sparingly. You've already taken them many times before, so don't take them again unless it's an emergency.

The most important thing is that I only have these two pills on me now. This medicine is not easy to obtain, and I don’t have much raw material with me, so take it and cherish it.”

Rong Heng's mouth either doesn't speak, or it speaks like a prophecy.

No one knew that after this, even the Vitality Pills with extremely strong backlash would become unavailable even if one wanted to take them.

After putting away the vitality pill, Si Jiu wanted to ask Rong Heng to leave.

But Rong Heng came here for his own purpose.

"I came here to check on your legs. You were asleep when we first arrived at the inn, so I couldn't ask you how you really felt. So I waited until you woke up to check on you."

This is also what Wen Baizhi is concerned about now.

After all, Rong Heng had said at the time that if Si Jiu's leg injury remained serious, he might become lame in the later stages.

"You're right, come and show Si Jiu his legs."

Wen Baizhi was still wearing the eunuch's clothes that she had just used as a disguise, and Rong Heng looked at her with some curiosity.

She explained casually: "Maybe you won't understand what I said, this is a little fun between Si Jiu and me."

Rong Heng was indeed even more confused.

But the area he wanted to understand was obviously not here.

Si Jiu's leg was broken when he fell down while trying to replace the Book of All People in Qi Yan'an's bedroom.

He was more fragile than the average person, and the fall broke all his wounds that had not yet healed.

The wound looked like it was about to fester. When the gauze was torn off, it was still a horrible piece of bloody flesh.

"Your wound has worsened severely." Rong Heng first explained the current situation.

"What should we do then?" The one who was the most uneasy was Wen Baizhi.

Rong Heng thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever heard of the story of scraping bones to cure poison?"

All three of the people present have heard this story.

But Wen Baizhi couldn't figure out what the connection was between this story and Si Jiu's current situation.

But Si Jiu understood: "Has it reached the point where you need to remove the rotten flesh to recover?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Baizhi immediately turned around and looked at Rong Heng, hoping to hear an unnecessary answer from him.

But Rong Heng's answer was: "It seems that it has come to this. Although I don't want to do this, the facts are so serious."

He continued to explain: "Your injury was already very serious earlier, and then you fell down the stairs and fell several times. You didn't have a chance to heal your wound properly. Instead, it got worse and worse. If you don't take timely measures, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your leg."

"No, this is not possible." This is equivalent to modern amputation, and Wen Baizhi doesn't want to see it at all.

Rong Heng didn't want to go this far either: "This is the last resort. There is still a way, which is to scrape off the rotten flesh on Si Jiu's legs and then use the powder he used to grow new skin, just like the steps he used to remove scars. I believe it will slowly recover. Other than that, I really can't think of any other way now."

Even Rong Heng was helpless, which showed that the current situation was indeed very dangerous.

Wen Baizhi couldn't make a decision for Si Jiu. Although she now thought that what Rong Heng said was the best solution, she couldn't bear to see Si Jiu suffer.

In the end, Si Jiu made the decision for himself: "Come on, let's do as you say."

He was never one to waver.

There were countless critical moments before when his life was in danger, and he was willing to take a gamble every time.

Hesitation will affect his future.

Rong Heng had known for a long time that Si Jiu would definitely agree to this, but when he really agreed, even Rong Heng felt a little reluctant.

The reason is simple, it's just because Si Jiu is suffering too much.

"Okay, when do you plan to do this?" Rong Heng asked.

Right now they still need to deliver the vitality pills to Shang Yao, so of course they can't do it now.

Si Jiu said, "Tomorrow, when we go to the post station to rest tomorrow night, please help me."

"Then tomorrow night," Rong Heng stood up and was about to leave, "It will give me some time to prepare the Ma Fei Powder for tomorrow. I can't really let the pain kill you."

In fact, Si Jiu is the least afraid of pain, and he has never taken the initiative to use Ma Fei San before.

But now that Wen Baizhi is here, Rong Heng feels that he can no longer let Si Jiu act recklessly as before.

He was also protected by someone.
