Su Yuhe looked at Xiaoxu encouragingly: "If the acupuncture is very painful this time, will Xiaoxu still be friends with me?"

Xiao Xu hesitated: "Does it hurt a lot? Will it hurt more than getting an injection in the hospital?"

"Yes." Su Yuhe glanced at Ji Shanfang. "But if Xiaoxu can hold back, I will give him a reward. Also, if he recovers, he will be able to play with more children."

Xiao Xu nodded vigorously: "I'm not afraid of pain! Dad said, a real man bleeds, not sweat!"

Su Yuhe scratched his nose: "Xiao Xu is awesome!"

She pulled Xiaoxu to sit down and silently felt his pulse.

Not much has changed from before.

Su Yuhe said to Ji Shanfang, "Sister-in-law, I've pretty much understood Xiaoxu's condition. I've been busy these past few days, discussing treatments with my master. Since we know the root cause, we suggest you start with our treatment method, acupuncture and medication. During this time, you should stop taking the medication Xiaoxu is taking."

Ji Shanfang nodded: "Whatever you say, we will cooperate."

The acupuncture points used this time are different from those used in previous emergency treatments, and the time required for formal treatment is also different.

The temperature is low in winter, and if children take off their clothes and are exposed to cold air for a long time, it will only induce the disease.

Su Yuhe said to Ji Shanfang, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to prepare the needles. The acupuncture will take longer than before. Please ask someone to bring a charcoal basin so you don't get cold."

"Hey, wait a minute, bring another basin of hot water and a towel, and wipe Xiaoxu's body first."

Ji Shanfang nodded and went out to prepare things. When she came back, she was followed by Aunt Huang, each holding a pot of charcoal.

Su Yuhe held the needle and whispered to Xiaoxu, "If you are scared, you can close your eyes."

Xiao Xu immediately closed her eyes, but said, "Sister, I'm not afraid!"

Su Yuhe smiled, wrung out the towel, wiped Xiaoxu's chest and back, and finally wiped his face: "Don't open your eyes, don't move. If it hurts, you can tell me. By the way, what did you say the main task of the soldier is?"

When talking about his friend, Xiaoxu gradually became less nervous. He closed his eyes and shared the story of Xiaobing with Su Yuhe.

Su Yuhe occasionally agreed, but her eyes were focused on inserting the needle.

After the first few injections, Xiaoxu just paused and continued to tell the story of his "friend".

By the fifth injection, Xiaoxu's face was a little painful: "Oh, sister, it hurts."

"It won't hurt soon. Sister will blow on it for you." Su Yuhe really came close and blew on it. "Does it still hurt? Where were we talking about just now?"

"Speaking of the soldiers fighting many enemies..."

Su Yuhe continued to insert the needles. When she was done, she pinched Xiaoxu's face and said, "You're so good. Let me tell you about my friend."

Ji Shanfang was watching from the side. Her son had needles stuck in his chest and back, and she felt the pain herself. She only felt relieved when Su Yuhe stopped.

He watched from the side with a frown on his face.

Su Yuhe portrayed the protagonist of the book How the Steel Was Tempered in a very humorous way.

From time to time, she would pinch the needle on Xiaoxu. Xiaoxu would just frown when he felt the pain, but would listen quietly to Su Yuhe's story.

After Su Yuhe finished speaking, Xiaoxu suddenly said, "Paul is a hero, even more powerful than the soldier!"

"Everyone is a hero. We are all the protagonists of our own lives," Su Yuhe said with a smile, thinking that Xiaoxu might not understand this at his age. "Xiaoxu is also a very brave little hero in fighting the disease."

"Really?" Xiao Xu closed his eyes tightly and turned his head towards Su Yuhe. "Xiao Xu is also a hero?"

"Yes."

Su Yuhe took the towel next to her and wiped the sweat off Xiaoxu's forehead.

Estimating that the time was up, Su Yuhe began to remove the needle.

Ji Shanfang, who had been watching the whole process, had tears welling up in her eyes. After Su Yuhe had pulled out the needle, she wiped her tears and walked over:

"Miss Su, is this okay?"

Su Yuhe nodded, her hands moving non-stop to put away the silver needles: "Help him put on his clothes."

Xiao Xu still had her eyes closed: "Sister, can I open my eyes?"

Su Yuhe smiled: "Of course."

Ji Shanfang dressed Xiaoxu, her voice choking: "Son, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I'm not sad. My sister said I'm a little hero!"

Ji Shanfang looked at her son's excited face, blinked, and tears came out.

Xiaoxu asked in confusion: "Mom, why are you crying? Did Xiaoxu say something wrong?"

Ji Shanfang wiped her tears quickly: "No, that's right, Xiaoxu is the hero, it's mom who is too scared, mom is the coward."

Xiaoxu wiped Ji Shanfang's face: "Sister said that everyone is a hero in their own life. Paul is a hero, Xiaoxu is a hero, and so is Mom! And Dad!"

Ji Shanfang sniffed: "Hmm."

Su Yuhe watched from the side. This was not her first patient, but it touched her deeply.

I feel my heart is filled with an indescribable satisfaction. What can be brought by curing diseases and saving lives is really precious.

Su Yuhe took out a straw grasshopper from her pocket and said, "Xiao Xu, look, what is this?"

Xiao Xu stared at the grasshopper with wide eyes, hesitant: "...What is this?"

Su Yuhe explained to him: "This is a grasshopper, a kind of insect. Xiaoxu will learn about it in the book later."

Xiao Xu stretched out his hand, then retracted it, glanced at Ji Shanfang, and then asked Su Yuhe: "Is this for me?"

"Yes, didn't sister just say that after the acupuncture, Xiaoxu will get a reward? This is the reward for Xiaoxu."

Xiao Xu's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take the grasshopper: "This will be my new friend from now on!"

Ji Shanfang looked away, wiped her eyes, then turned back and asked Su Yuhe: "What should we do now?"

Just as Su Yuhe was about to answer, the door opened and Xu Xingguo walked in hurriedly: "Miss Su, I'm sorry, there's a lot going on in the hall."

Xu Xingguo noticed that his lover looked like she had been crying, and frowned: "What's wrong? Is there something bad going on?"

It’s no wonder that he thought too much. Su Yuhe came to treat her illness, and his lover cried like this.

Su Yuhe hurriedly explained, "No, we were just talking about taking medicine. I'll let my sister-in-law tell you about the rest later. Where are the medicines you were asked to find? I'll mix the dosage for you now."

Ji Shanfang said, "Yes, it's nothing. Old Xu, take Miss Su to get the medicine. I'll ask Aunt Huang to cook two more dishes."

Su Yuhe waved her hand and refused: "The treatment took quite a while, I'll go back directly later, no need to cook specially."

"How can that be possible?"

Su Yuhe smiled and said, "It will take me a long time to get back, so let's not waste time. Take me to see the doctor first. It will take time to prepare the medicine later."
