Chapter 292: Removing Worms

When she pulled it out, a very long worm could be seen with blood. It was being pulled out bit by bit.

Su Xiaolu also saw it span from her waist to Xiao Bing’s back. This worm was more than a meter long and thinner than her pinky.

It was still struggling, as if it was unwilling to be pulled out like this.

Xiao Bing seemed to be in great pain. His face turned pale, and his limbs began to flex.

Madam Chu’s heart ached. She knelt by the side of the collapse and touched Xiao Bing’s cheek with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face.

The novice monk could not bear to watch. He closed his eyes and twirled the prayer beads on his wrist as he kept chanting the Buddhist scriptures.

As long as Su Xiaolu loosened her grip a little, the worm would immediately return to Xiao Bing’s body. Such a worm was very tough. It was very difficult for Su Xiaolu to pull it out. She was a little tired.

With a bang, the entire worm came out and bounced into Su Xiaolu’s hand. She felt the back of her hand hurt. She quickly reached out and grabbed it.

The novice monk quickly brought over a basin of water. Su Xiaolu threw the worm in.

Su Xiaolu said to the novice monk, “Little monk, look after this worm first. Don’t touch it with your hands. I’ll treat his wound first.”

After Su Xiaolu stopped the bleeding and bandaged Xiao Bing, she continued to check on him.

After confirming that there were no more worms in his body, Su Xiaolu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s fine. He’s very weak now. He’ll recover after a while.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

Madam Chu was extremely grateful. After taking out the worm, Xiao Bing’s life was saved.

Su Xiaolu also took out silver needles for Xiao Bing. This worm was not fatal, but it had also eaten a lot of Xiao Bing’s flesh and blood. Xiao Bing suddenly could not walk or move because the worm had pressed the nerves on his back and eaten a lot of his flesh and blood.

Even the pain nerves were numbed, so Xiao Bing never felt the pain.

Now that the insect was taken out, he would feel pain. His body needed to rest for a while to recover.

“You guys can rest in Qinglian Monastery for the next few days. I’ll come and visit him often these few days.”

Su Xiaolu said to Madam Chu. The current outcome was the best outcome. If Madam Chu was happy, she was also happy.

Madam Chu nodded.

Su Xiaolu went to look at the basin. The insects inside were still alive. In the water, they had washed away the blood. The colors of the insects were white and they swam uneasily in the water.

This worm was no longer as long as before. It seemed that it would become shorter after leaving the body.

Su Xiaolu said to the novice monk, “Little monk, find me a small jar. I’ll pack this worm.”

The novice monk nodded.

Soon, the small jar was brought to Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu used a small clamp to pick up the worm and throw it into the jar. She filled the jar with some water and covered it before putting it away.

After doing this, Su Xiaolu said to Madam Chu, “I’ll get someone to get medicine for you later. Take the medicine for two days and boil it for him. When he wakes up, if he feels pain, you can give him an extra bowl of medicine.”

Madam Chu nodded. She took out the silver from her pocket and was about to hand it to Su Xiaolu and said, “Divine doctor, thank you for saving my son. These 10 taels are my only money. I’ll give it to you…”

Su Xiaolu took a step back and smiled. “Madam, we’re fated, so I took the initiative to save you without charge. Keep this money.”

With that, Su Xiaolu turned around, packed her things, and left.

The novice monk said to Madam Chu, “Patron, wait a moment.”

The novice monk left with Su Xiaolu, who gave him a prescription.

Su Xiaolu came to look for Wang Huilan. A novice monk said to her, “Miss Su, the person you were looking for is resting in the meditation room.”

The novice monk brought Su Xiaolu over. Wang Huilan heard the sound and got up to open the door.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Su Xiaolu. Then, she realized that the hair on Su Xiaolu’s cheeks was drenched in sweat. Su Xiaolu also looked a little tired. Wang Huilan asked with concern, “Xiaolu, what happened?”

Su Xiaolu smiled at Wang Huilan and said, “It’s fine. I treated someone. It’s a mother and son I met in the hall previously. You were asking for talismans at that time.”

Wang Huilan recalled that back then, she had been focused on seeking talismans and had not paid attention to the commotion. However, she had heard someone say that a mother and son had come to pray to Buddha. It was quite serious. They said that the child could not stand or move for some reason, and they could not find the cause of the illness.

Wang Huilan asked, “How is it?”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “It’s resolved. There was a worm in his body. Speaking of this worm, I have to write and ask my Master.”

Ordinary parasites would die not long after leaving their bodies. This worm could live with water and had very powerful parasitic abilities. She did not know what kind of worm it was.

Hearing that it was settled, Wang Huilan was relieved.

Su Xiaolu wrote a prescription and a letter for Qinglian Monastery to send.

After she was done, she went back with Wang Huilan.

By the time she and Wang Huilan returned to Furongzhou Inn, it was already afternoon.

Su Chong and the others had not returned yet. Su Xiaolu was tired, so she went back to her room and slept.

Wang Huilan didn’t feel tired, so she helped grind the medicine.

Not long after, the waiter knocked on the door. Wang Huilan opened the door and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The waiter smiled and said, “Madam, there’s a Young Master looking for you outside.”

Wang Huilan was curious. “Who is it?”

The waiter scratched his head. “I don’t know either. He said his name is Zhou Zhi. Perhaps you’ll know when you go down and take a look.”

Wang Huilan thought for a moment and confirmed that she didn’t know him. However, after some thought, she still followed the waiter down.

In the hall downstairs, Zhou Zhi sat down. He looked up at Wang Huilan and asked with a faint smile, “Where’s Xiaolu?”

When Wang Huilan heard Zhou Zhi’s question, she understood that Su Xiaolu knew him. It was normal for her not to know him.

Seeing Zhou Zhi’s gentle expression, Wang Huilan also said politely, “Xiaolu is tired today and has just fallen asleep. If you want to look for her, you’ll have to wait.”

Su Xiaolu had just fallen asleep. It was impossible for her to wake her up now.

Zhou Zhi didn’t mind. He waved his hand and said calmly, “It’s fine. I’ll just wait.”

Seeing Zhou Zhi like this, Wang Huilan had a good impression of him.

Zhou Zhi sat quietly and waited. Wang Huilan also quietly ground the medicine.

At noon, Su Xiaolu woke up and stretched.

After sleeping, she recovered her energy and was a little hungry. She prepared to go downstairs to find something to eat. At this time, she would eat some snacks. They would have dinner together later.

Su Xiaolu had just gone downstairs when she was stunned. Why was Zhou Zhi here?

As if sensing Su Xiaolu looking at him, Zhou Zhi looked up and smiled at her.

Su Xiaolu also smiled. At this moment, she saw Su Chong, Su Hua, and the others return. When she saw their figures, Su Xiaolu’s body was faster than her brain. She jumped down and pounced on Su Chong and Su Hua. She held Su Hua’s arm with one hand and Zhou Heng’s arm with the other and asked wheedling, “Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, you’re back. Did you buy me anything?”
