Chapter 232: Chapter 232 How to detoxify?

Jin Zijin had completely passed out, his body alarmingly hot, like a tinder ready to burst into flames at any moment.

On Gu Youyou’s end, she had already tended to her wounds, which were not deep, and after applying medicine, they had begun to heal.

Sitting by the bed, Gu Youyou had figured out Jin Zijin’s condition.

Clinically, aside from the persistent high fever, his symptoms were no different from an ordinary fever sickness.

But according to Yue Rujing, he was poisoned by the Flame Pond Fire Lotus, so it probably wasn’t as simple as an ordinary fever sickness.

That night, Gu Youyou stayed by his side while Yue Rujing was busy fetching water to cool him down, but it seemed to have no effect.

After a night of burning, boils started to appear on his arms, a manifestation of heat toxin syndrome coming from within to the surface.

Gu Youyou looked outside the window, where the sky was beginning to lighten in the east. After calculating the time, she estimated it to be between five-thirty and six in the morning. There was still a big hole in the bedroom, and by eight o’clock, she was supposed to go to Jisheng Hall.

She really didn’t want these messy people to disturb the quiet and peaceful Lotus Village.

Yue Rujing had stopped fetching water and was just standing at the doorway, staring straight at Gu Youyou.

Gu Youyou replaced Jin Zijin’s steaming hot towel and, seeing Yue Rujing in a daze, said to him, "Get another basin of cold water. It’s no good if we can’t bring the fever down; he’s starting to get boils."

Yue Rujing didn’t move, tugging at the corner of his mouth, an inexplicable sourness in his nose, and laughed bitterly.

Gu Youyou furrowed her brows and said, "What are you laughing at? Go on! Do you want your senior brother’s brain to get fried?"

He shook his head and said in a low voice, "It’s useless, no amount of cold water can cure the poison of a Fire Lotus."

After struggling for half the night with no improvement, Gu Youyou, as a doctor, was well aware of it.

But what exactly was this Fire Lotus...?

"Then tell me, what should we do? He must be in a lot of discomfort right now, using cold water to cool him down has to be somewhat relieving."

A sudden sense of helplessness surged in her heart, causing a stifling sensation that made her nose and eyes ache unbearably.

They were using her while being cautious around her. She clearly hadn’t done anything, knew nothing, so why were they treating her like this?

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her displeasure and asked more gently, "He’s been poisoned for so long, why did it suddenly flare up tonight? How did you treat it during previous outbreaks? At this point, what do you still have to hide from me?"

Yue Rujing pursed his lips tightly and after a long contemplation, finally said, "Apart from him and me, only our master knows about my senior brother’s poisoning; even she doesn’t know. Now there’s you too. We can’t leak the poisoning incident, no matter whose side you’re on, I hope you can remember that we have been fairly good to you, and in the future..."

"I’m asking now, how can we save him!" Gu Youyou interrupted him loudly, not letting him continue.

Under different circumstances, she would have been pleased to see Yue Rujing being open about Jin Zijin’s matters, but right now she didn’t want to listen, didn’t want to deal with secrets that weren’t for someone like her to touch; she just wanted to know how to save him.

Yue Rujing stared at Gu Youyou, taken aback, and then said faintly, "Suppressing the toxicity... isn’t difficult. The only thing that can suppress the poison of the Flame Pond Fire Lotus is the Youying Grass."

"Youying Grass?" Gu Youyou looked up at him and asked, "Don’t you have this grass?"

If they had it, would Jin Zijin need to come to Lotus Village and stay for years?

No, that’s not right; she distinctly remembered that he came to Lotus Village to find someone, not to look for the Youying Grass.
