When the agreed time arrived, Lu Heng went directly to Jiang Zhou’s house.

As soon as he entered, he felt a little uncontrollable – most of the decorations of the place where Jiang Zhou lived now were based on modern houses. Compared with a pile of earthen tiles and mud walls, it looked a lot taller, especially for Lu Heng. Recently, because he was out of town, he had been living in the inn most of the time. The place was hard to deal with, and it was very crude.

There was no harm to compare the inn and Jiang Zhou’s good house.

Lu Heng was still a little afraid of Wen Yan, so he only dared to talk to Jiang Zhou from a distance. “Have you collected your heart’s blood?”

Jiang Zhou nodded. “Of course, it’s ready.”

He took out a bowl of shallow water, it was filled with light blood water. Lu Heng smelled it. It did smell like human blood and said, “Is this enough? Why does it look so light in color to me? Did you mix it with water?”

Jiang Zhou scratched his head.

“Well. People said the fingers are connected to the heart. The blood at the tip of the heart is equal to the blood at the fingertips. I was worried about Wen Yan, so I just ask a little.”

Lu Heng frowned. “But will this be effective?”

Jiang Zhou persuaded him: “Think about it, if you want to fix the soul, it must be because of love, right? Real love from heart. Why would the fox demon want you to harm someone? If we really need to take heart blood, we have to stab it with a knife. With the current medical level, do you think Wen Yan could survive a stab in the heart?”

“Of course not!”

Jiang Zhou smiled when he saw him fall into the trap. “So, there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking the blood from the fingertips.”

Lu Heng didn’t have any brains at all. He just believed whatever people said.

Although Lu Heng was a little wary about this idea, fearing that Jiang Zhou would lie to him, he couldn’t help but brainwash himself on the way here. In his eyes, Jiang Zhou seemed to be a highly intelligent person, and what he said was reasonable and well-founded, all believable!

Now that Jiang Zhou said to take blood from the fingertips, he immediately believed it.

.

Jiang Zhou took the blood and asked Lu Heng: “Are you sure you can just drink it like this?”

Lu Heng was a little nervous about such an important matter. “According to what the fox demon said, this should be it!” He looked at the bloody water floating in the bowl.

The bloody water made his throat tight. “You… you try drinking it!”

Jiang Zhou drank it without changing his expression.

Lu Heng watched him drink it eagerly and asked, “How was it? Did you feel anything?”

Jiang Zhou was silent for a moment.

“How… what’s going on!” Lu Heng was anxious. This was a major event that concerned his future!

Jiang Zhou shook his head. “No reaction.” Of course, there was no reaction. He was just acting for Lu Heng to see, so it would be strange for him to have real reaction. However, in order to make Lu Heng believed it more, after half an hour, he suddenly pretended to turn pale and groaned in pain.

Lu Heng stared at Jiang Zhou’s expression the whole time. Seeing his expression change, he hurriedly asked: “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Zhou pretended to be dizzy, rolled his eyes, and sat down on the ground. “I’m dizzy… ”

Not only was he dizzy, but Jiang Zhou also reached out to cover his head and groaned twice. “Ow, my head hurts.”

Lu Heng was so frightened that he couldn’t speak. He squatted beside him and watched Jiang Zhou rolled on the ground in pain, looking very distressed.

Suddenly he saw a figure at the door.

Wen Yan’s hand was bandaged, and his ten thin fingers were wrapped in white cloth. He stood at the door and was stunned for a moment, then walked up quickly and hugged Jiang Zhou. “What’s going on?”

Jiang Zhou looked speechless in pain. Wen Yan’s expression changed, and he glared Lu Heng hard, “What did you do? Didn’t you say this method is effective?”

The look in his eyes was really scary. Lu Heng was already a little scared, so he shrank back twice when he was stared at: “I didn’t do anything, he just did it, it’s none of my business!”

Lu Heng was scared. He was a little afraid to try the same method, fearing that he would be like Jiang Zhou. But now it was as if his feet were rooted. He couldn’t move and could only watch Jiang Zhou twitching in place and spitting out white foam.

The air was eerily silent, and Wen Yan sobbed, bursting into tears.

After hearing Wen Yan’s cry, Jiang Zhou suddenly twitched and then laid calmly on the ground.

Lu Heng trembled and went to check for his breath: “…”

He felt a breath, Jiang Zhou was still alive, as long as he was still alive it was good. Otherwise, he was afraid that Wen Yan would directly report him to the officials and have him arrested. Although his father was an official, he might not be able to cover up such a thing like killing people.

.

The two waited for a while, and then Jiang Zhou opened his eyes leisurely, his face very pale, and he held Wen Yan’s hand with a very weak expression: “Ah Yan…”

Wen Yan’s eyes were red: “How are you, are you okay?”

Jiang Zhou shook his head: “It’s okay.”

He looked at Lu Heng, whose face was full of nervousness, and sighed: “It should be successful.”

Lu Heng blinked, a little in disbelief: “Really?”

“Of course, it’s true. But now I feel weak all over my body. I’m afraid I won’t be able to stand up in a few days, and I also have a slight pain in my head. It should be a side effect.”

Lu Heng was dubious at first, but when he heard that there were side effects, he immediately believed it. He always liked to think there was no free pie in the sky. If there were no side effects, he would really not dare to use this method.

Since the method worked, he was relieved: “You take care of yourself first, I will host a banquet for you in a few days.”

Jiang Zhou leaned on Wen Yan and smiled “weakly”: “Okay, if this method really works, be sure to tell me when you try it, and I will help you keep an eye on it.”

Lu Heng solemnly agreed. After the matter was over, he no longer wanted to stay here and left.

Before leaving the house, he looked back. Wen Yan lowered his head and held Jiang Zhou’s hand tightly.

.

After Lu Heng went out, Jiang Zhou quickly got up, untied his robe, and took out a hot water bottle from the inner pocket, wiping the sweat from his face: “It’s so hot.”

Wen Yan also untied the bandages on his hand. The skin on his fingers were smooth and clean, and there were no wounds on his hands as Lu Heng expected.

“You turn on the floor heating and put a hot water on your body. It’s weird if it’s not hot.”

Jiang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: “There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s not like I’m really in pain. I couldn’t sweat out of blue, right? But you …”

“What?”

Jiang Zhou turned him around and held his face: “Did you really cry just now?”
