Chapter 1067 - Chapter 1067 Qinghe's Painful 1067

Chapter 1067: Qinghe’s Painful 1067 Chapter 1067: Qinghe’s Painful 1067 She said this and went to the pharmacy to fetch a small white porcelain bottle and returned, gesturing for Xiao Yuchuan to open his mouth.

She poured out a pill from the bottle and put it directly into his mouth, “That should do.”

“But Fourth Brother hasn’t swallowed the pill yet…” Xiao Yuchuan remarked.

“The pill will dissolve quickly.

Once it has dissolved, Fourth Brother will be poisoned,” she said.

“He is extremely hungry now, devoid of any interest in life.

.co

In one hour, he will feel an intense hunger, as his blood, flesh, and stomach clamor for food.

As time goes on, his hunger will grow stronger and stronger, as will his desire to eat.

It will be a test to see whether his willpower is stronger or the medicinal effect of the drug I have specially prepared for him.”

Xiao Yuchuan was somewhat surprised, “Wife, you can actually concoct such a medicine…”

Su Qingyue was a bit proud, “Of course, with my medical skill, what medicine can’t I produce?

It’s just…

Fourth Brother’s legs, I really have no way to heal them.”

“Wife, you are already quite incredible,” Xiao Yuchuan’s brows furrowed with some frustration.

“It seems that my medical skill is still too lacking to mix the medicine you just gave Fourth Brother.”

“Third Brother has only been studying medicine for a short while.

With time, and your intelligence, you will definitely catch up to my medical skill,” she said.

After hearing her words, Xiao Yuchuan’s deep eyes held a trace of doubt.

“Wife, haven’t you also studied medicine for a comparably short period?

Didn’t you say you just read a few medical books and received guidance from an expert?

And yet, after being taught by you for so long, I am still not as quick a self-learner as you.”

How could it be self-learning for her?

That was just an excuse.

She couldn’t very well say that she had studied medicine for many years in modern times, could she?

“Um…

I’m just smart, that’s all.”

Alas, when people spend a lot of time together, some things, even if well hidden at the beginning, tend to gradually reveal themselves.

Like with Second Brother, at first he was so kind.

In fact, on the very first day she woke up in this world, when other villagers insulted her in front of Second Brother, apart from a poor facial expression, he didn’t show anything else.

But then there was Third Brother, Xiao Qinghe.

When Shi Shanzao and her brother Shi Cai ridiculed her in front of Third Brother, who was still poisoned and had never fought anyone before, Third Brother didn’t hesitate to fight Shi Cai for her sake.

Second Brother has always been nice to her, but only with time was she able to see through Second Brother clearly.

Only then could she understand what kind of people Third Brother and Fourth Brother really were.

Looking at the young man on the bed, with silver needles inserted at the major acupuncture points on his head and body.

His eyelids were tightly closed, and the pitiful teardrops at the corner of his eyes had soaked the pillow.

His pale, bloodless face was so pitiable.

When she first saw him, although he couldn’t use his legs, she thought he was like a boy next door, so refined that it made her feel compassionate.

Now…

Actually, she still cared for him as if he were her younger brother.

It’s just that she really didn’t like the way he was using his own life to blackmail others.

Moreover, the person being blackmailed was her, Su Qingyue.

How could Fourth Brother become like this?

No…

In fact, he had never changed.

He was still Xiao Qinghe.

It’s just that this image of the refined young man who seemed like the boy next door…

he had faults too.

He was insecure, so insecure that he felt utterly worthless.

When he realized the love he wanted to reclaim was out of reach, he helplessly resorted to the only method he knew to try and win it back.

And his method…

was wrong.

How could she not know his agony?

Seeing that tear absorbed into the pillow, surely Fourth Brother, resorting to such a method of fasting, felt more pain in his heart than anyone could understand.
