Chapter 37: Gu Poison

The boy was overjoyed. He thought that his death was imminent, but he did not expect someone to be able to save him! However, his illness...

Xu Qing didn't explain much and gave him 500 yuan to buy clothes and tidy himself up. She also wanted to see how far he could go. After all, it was difficult for him to even buy clothes with his appearance.

The boy looked at the money in his hand with a complicated expression. Wasn't she afraid that he would run away with the money? Although five hundred was not a lot, it was a lot for a homeless person. He suddenly understood and turned to leave.

Xu Qing sat in the tea house with the three babies and waited. About half an hour later, a handsome young man carried a few bags and a box. They were probably new clothes. There was also a rented carriage behind him.

Xu Qing's eyes lit up. This boy was indeed smart and observant. Perhaps he could help her establish a business empire!

"Master, I think you're probably in a hurry to go back, so I took the initiative to find a carriage for you!" The little boy had already taken Xu Qing as his master.

"Okay. Call me sister in the future." Xu Qing nodded and brought the three children into the carriage. She said, "Let's go together."

"Sister, I'd better stay outside." The little boy looked at the cute babies with a lonely gaze.

"Come up. It's not contagious," Xu Qing said calmly. She could tell his concerns at a glance.

The little boy was very surprised and hurriedly went up. The carriage also headed towards Xu Qing's straw hut.

"What's your name? How old are you this year?" Xu Qing coaxed the three children to sleep and asked softly.

"I'm seventeen years old and don't have a name. Please give me a name." The little boy's eyes were gloomy as he thought of the past.

"Then your surname will be Xu, like me. Your name will be Sizhi." Xu Qing raised her eyebrows. He was just a year younger than her! But he looked like he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, which showed how scrawny he was.

"Thank you, Sister." Xu Sizhi liked this name very much.

"Reach out." Xu Qing looked at his thin figure.

Xu Sizhi reached out his hand without hesitation. Xu Qing checked his pulse, and her warm fingers on his wrist made his face blush slightly. However, his face was too pale and was really inconspicuous.

"You've cultivated internal energy before?" Xu Qing asked.

Xu Sizhi nodded.

"No wonder!" Xu Qing discovered that the poison in his body had been suppressed by his internal energy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived for so long. However, what puzzled her was that he was 17 years old this year. Even if he cultivated internal energy since he was born, he wouldn't have an internal energy foundation of decades. How did he cultivate it?

"How is my body?" Xu Sizhi asked anxiously.

"What do you think?" Xu Qing asked.

Xu Sizhi fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said, "When I was eight years old, I was discovered to have this illness. No doctor could help me. No one knew what was going on. A doctor said that I was infected, and then the people who approached me died. They died miserably, and my family threw me out. After that, I didn't dare to go near anyone. It was only recently that I felt that I didn't have long to live and wanted to find a place to die. I didn't expect to meet you, but..." He was worried that his illness would spread, but his sister said that it wouldn't. He was at a loss, but he also felt guilty.
