Chapter 135 Heartbroken
Seeing that Li Xi still looked disapproving, Doctor Wu sighed, "I know you are doing this for my own good.
But I am not a person who does things without a purpose. I have lived for so many years and it is impossible that I don’t have a way to save my life. Otherwise, how could I have escaped unscathed last time? "
Li Xi believed that what Doctor Wu said was the truth, but she was still worried about him going alone. This medicine was something she wanted to make, so she naturally couldn't let Doctor Wu take the risk for her.
"Okay." Li Xi looked at the small porcelain bottles on the table, "Let's go together."
"Okay, you agree..." Doctor Wu's eyes widened, "What? You want to go too!"
Seeing his expression, Li Xi smiled instead, "Why? Guangxing, you are a kind-hearted doctor."
Doctor Wu didn't smile at all when listening to Li Xi's jokes. Although he had shown full confidence in front of Li Xi just now, nothing in this world is absolute.
It is said that if a doctor cannot cure himself, those who drown are those who can swim.
However, he did not say this directly to Li Xi, because he knew that she would definitely go if he said that.
"There's no need for you. The medicine has been prepared. What's left is just the small matter of testing the medicine. You are not needed. Didn't those people come to bother you a few days ago?
You can’t go with them this time, and you can’t let them know your true identity.”
Actually what Doctor Wu said made sense. Originally she had the title of Doctor Wu's apprentice, but ever since her last nonsense, she became the peasant girl who was raped by Gu Jingzhi, and Doctor Wu became the executioner who assisted Gu Jingzhi in his evil deeds.
Now that the rumor has begun to ferment, they have not taken any measures, which is also a good thing, as it happens to hide Li Xi's true identity.
The southwest is the territory of the Song family, and Doctor Wu's presence there will definitely attract their attention. If Li Xi follows him at this time, it will definitely arouse their suspicion.
Li Xi understood Dr. Wu's concerns, but she couldn't just let him take the risk. However, she also knew that she really shouldn't go with him.
The Zhenbei Army has been making too many moves recently, which has attracted too much attention. Overtly and covertly, no one knows how many people are watching them. Once her identity is exposed, it will bring too much trouble.
"Then when do you plan to go?" Li Xi's eyes darkened slightly. Although she couldn't go, she could add weight to Doctor Wu's safety.
"The medicine is ready, so I will leave as soon as possible. However, I still need to prepare some things, so I will leave in about three days."
Hearing that Li Xi had given up going to the southwest with him, Doctor Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Some people say that those who do research are crazy, and this is also true for Dr. Wu.
He now wanted to go to the southwest as soon as possible to test whether the detoxification pills they made were effective. As for his own life, he had already thrown it to the wind.
"Okay." She understood. Although three days was a little short, it was enough.
Li Xi's "OK" made Doctor Wu a little confused. After thinking about it, he just thought that she thought this was a good time.
"My dear friend Li Xi, I have an unwelcome request."
"You said, I will help you if I can."
"Awei is still young and needs to go to school. This trip is dangerous, and I dare not bring him with me. But after I leave, I am worried about him being alone at home, so I want you to take care of him for a while."
"I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this. It's just taking care of a child. Anyway, we have a tiger at home. It doesn't matter if we drive one sheep or two sheep.
Ah Wei and Hu Zi have a good relationship, so when the time comes, just let Hu Zi move to our house and live in the same room with him."
This is safe and convenient.
"In that case, thank you very much." After arranging the matter regarding Awei, Doctor Wu heaved a sigh of relief.
Doctor Wu took away most of the prepared medicine, and Li Xi only left two bottles.
In the next three days, Dr. Wu was busy packing his bags, while Li Xi plunged headfirst into her pharmacy again.
In the past month, even when Li Xi was busy, she would still take time out to take a walk with Gu Jingzhi after dinner. One reason was that they were in a relationship and she liked to be nosy, and the other was that she had been doing mechanical labor all the time and she wanted to change her mind.
But during these three days, Li Xi completely forgot about eating and sleeping. He just ate every meal in a hurry, just to fill his stomach. He also cancelled the walk after meals and rushed into the pharmacy right after the meal.
Hu Zi sat on the threshold outside, resting his chin on his hand and looking out the door.
After waiting for a long time, he saw the familiar figure appear with a food box. His eyes lit up and he stood up and ran towards him.
"Brother Jing."
Gu Jingzhi stopped and said, "Let's go home."
"Yeah." Hu Zi nodded and followed him back.
Li Xi was extremely busy this month and had very few opportunities to talk to Hu Zi. At most they could see each other during meals. But Li Xi was so tired after a busy day that she didn't even have the energy to talk.
So during this period of time, Gu Jingzhi was the one who arranged and resolved all of Hu Zi's affairs. Hu Zi had always liked Gu Jingzhi, and over the past month, their relationship had made rapid progress.
"Where is your sister?" Gu Jingzhi put the lunch box on the table in the yard.
The weather has been getting warmer and the days longer, so they have been eating in the yard for some time now.
Hu Zi swiftly opened the lunch box and took out the food while saying, "Sister is still busy."
"Well, you clean up first, I'll go and ask her to eat together."
At first, Gu Jingzhi didn't know what Li Xi and the others were busy with, but he soon found out. After all, making medicine requires so much Artemisia annua, and Li Xi and Doctor Wu alone cannot get so much.
He also knew why he had been so busy for the past three days. He understood her and knew that all he could do at this time was to support her.
Gu Jingzhi walked to the door and was about to knock when the door opened from the inside.
Li Xi saw Gu Jingzhi outside the door and raised her head, "You're here."
Li Xi's eyes lit up. His arrival meant that the meal was here. Li Xi turned sideways and glanced at the stone table not far away. Sure enough, the food was already placed on it.
She took Gu Jingzhi's hand and walked towards the table, "Let's eat first."
Finally it was done, she felt so hungry that she could eat a cow.
Gu Jingzhi said nothing and just sat down beside her, following her force. Hu Zi, who was standing beside him, was already used to this.
He now knows that Brother Jingzhi likes his sister. Looking at their clasped hands, Huzi shook his head like a little adult. He is now considered to be well-informed.
Li Xi didn't know that her image in her brother's mind had become like this. Of course, she didn't care now. After sitting down, she said, "Eat quickly. I won't be polite."
So he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Gu Jingzhi knew she was very hungry when he saw her wolfing down the food, and he felt angry and distressed at the same time.
I couldn't bear to say anything to her, so I had to pick up the chopsticks and serve her food.
