Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 428: Longing for Love (42)

"It's nothing. I have an antidote here. You can try it. It's very effective." Xiangliu quickly changed the subject.

Li Lianhua refused without thinking: "No, I don't have much time left, so don't waste it."

Hearing his refusal, Xiangliu immediately refused. After all, even though he had many pinholes on his face, it was still obvious that he did look a lot like his childish father.

His father was a merciful man who would never give up his life voluntarily.

Since this guy is so similar to his father, as a rebellious child of only ten years old, he will not let him die easily!

What's more, he doesn't trust his mother's medical skills, how can that be possible! (But she doesn't know your mother! Who would believe a stranger's words?)

"How can this be a waste? My mother is a very good doctor. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try! What if it works? After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!

Besides, you are so much like my father, you must be afraid of death, it's a pity that my father died."

After listening to Xiangliu's words, Li Lianhua thought about it and found that just as he said, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and the worst situation cannot be as bad as it is now.

What's more, there is nothing to gain in his current situation. He only has a few days to live, and as for money, let alone money, his pockets are cleaner than his face.

"Okay, thank you then, little friend."

"You're welcome! You can call me Xiangliu, and I'll call you dad from now on. It always feels weird to call you Lotus dad."

After saying that, Xiangliu took out a white jade bottle from the storage bag, then opened the lid and poured out a pill, then closed the lid again and put it away.

"It's up to you, as long as you're happy."

Then he took the medicine and handed it to Li Lianhua's mouth.

"Here, take it! This medicine melts in your mouth."

Li Lianhua swallowed the pill obediently. Just as Xiangliu said, it melted in her mouth without any feeling and she swallowed it.

"Thank you."

After Li Lianhua swallowed the medicine, Xiangliu sat back by the fire and continued to roast the fish and rabbit.

Xiangliu looked at the remaining chicken and fish and said, "Lotus Dad, do you have a pot in your car? I want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms and braised fish."

"Yes, but my five senses have deteriorated and I can't see clearly. Even the food I cook tastes terrible."

"It's okay, I'll cook for you. I can cook. I used to cook at home, and my mother loves it." (As long as your mother doesn't ask her to cook, she can eat it no matter who cooks it, as long as it's not too bad.)

"Really? But now I can't tell whether the food is good or bad. I can only smell it a little bit."

After Xiangliu got the answer he wanted, he went to the Lotus Tower to find the pot without asking Li Lianhua for introduction.

Xiangliu took out a clay pot for stewing soup and an iron pan for frying, one in each hand.

"It's okay. The poison has penetrated into your bones, so it will be a little slow. By the time I finish cooking, you will be able to taste the flavor."

As soon as Xiang Liu finished speaking, Li Lianhua spat out a mouthful of black blood, "Puff~"

"Dad, are you okay?"

When Xiangliu saw Li Lianhua vomiting blood, he quickly ran over to support him and put his hand on his pulse.

Li Lianhua waved her hands and said weakly, "I'm fine. Spit it out. I feel much better."

"Dad, this is just the blood clot in your chest. The rest of the toxins will seep out from the surface of your skin. It's starting to come out now. I'll help you go to the river to clean it."

Xiangliu helped Li Lianhua to the river, then took out a small jade bottle and poured out a pill for him to take.

"This is the Ten-fold Tonic Pill my mother gave me. However, your deficiency is quite serious. One pill can only make you less susceptible to illness. If you want to replenish it, you have to take good care of yourself for a period of time. But it won't take long, only a month at most."

After taking the pill, Li Lianhua felt better.

"Thank you, Xiangliu."

"You're welcome, Dad, you wash it first, I'll go find you some clean clothes."

Then Xiangliu blocked his sense of smell, ran back to Lianhua Tower, found a set of Li Lianhua's clothes, and put them on the riverside for him.

Then, he took out a bucket of water from the storage bag, cleaned the pot and ingredients, and started stewing the soup.

During this period, he also asked Maoqiu to find some non-toxic mushrooms to stew the chicken.

When Li Lianhua finally washed herself, changed into clean clothes and returned to Xiangliu.

Xiangliu also happened to have prepared chicken stewed with mushrooms and braised fish.

"Thank you, Xiangliu. Now my five senses have finally returned to normal."

"You're welcome! Dad, come and try the food I cooked and see if it's delicious!"

Xiangliu placed chicken soup and braised fish, as well as grilled fish and grilled rabbit, on the table he brought out from the Lotus Tower.

Then he looked at Li Lianhua with anticipation.

Li Lianhua looked at the delicious dishes on the table, smiled slightly, touched Xiang Liu's head and said, "It looks delicious. Let's sit down and eat together!"

"Yeah." Xiangliu responded and sat down next to Li Lianhua. He first served Li Lianhua a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him, and then served himself.

After they finished eating, it was getting dark.

After clearing away the dishes, Xiangliu held the fur ball that he had just returned from foraging and introduced it to Li Lianhua:

"Dad, this is my friend Maoqiu. Maoqiu is my Lotus dad. We will live together with my dad from now on."

"Your bird is quite special. It looks so small and round, but it can even fly." Li Lianhua took a look at the round body in Xiangliu's arms, a ball of white feathers with blue feathers.

"Well, this is the companion my mother found for me. Dad, I miss my mother." Xiangliu stroked the furry ball's head again and again and said in a depressed mood.

"If you miss your mother, then just go back!"

"I didn't know how to get back, so I fell into a hole, and when I opened my eyes I was here, and then it became like this."

Li Lianhua thought about it and understood what he meant. Although he had been the best in the world for a period of time, he did not understand such things.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Then follow me first! I just got here today. When I am fully recovered, I will take you out to play."

"Yeah, okay." Xiangliu nodded obediently.

The reason why he listened to Li Lianhua so much and wanted to follow him all the time was because of what his mother taught him.

Children should not go out alone, as they are easily deceived without an adult.

Being cheated of money is not a big deal, as their family has the most of money. But if someone imprisoned them using special methods, they would suffer.

At the mildest, they were forced to do laundry, cooking, and housework; at the worst, they were beaten, had their tendons pulled out, their bones pulled out, their skin peeled off, and their eyes gouged out.

His father Lotus looked shrewd and would definitely be able to protect him. Once his father fully recovered, he could continue to wander around like before.
