Commander Cheng asked anxiously, "Are these okay? Are they enough?"

Su Ruyi had already inspected all the boxes, and she nodded in satisfaction, saying, "These are enough to exchange for two months of lifespan."

The healthcare provider scoffed, "You'd better keep your word!"

"What kind of attitude is that!" Chief Cheng scolded the doctor. "When you left just now, Dr. Su cured my indigestion with just a few acupuncture needles!"

"Pshaw!" The health care doctor was even more skeptical. "If it were true, I'd kneel down and call her 'Grandma'!"

Su Ruyi pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Come on, feel it yourself! Is that bag still there?" Chief Cheng gestured for the healthcare doctor to come forward.

The doctor hesitated for a moment before reaching out and gently touching Chief Cheng's stomach.

"Huh?" He frowned, increasing the pressure on his hand. "Where's that hard lump in your stomach?"

"Dr. Su's needles have ruined it!" Chief Cheng exclaimed gleefully. "Hurry up and apologize to him!"

The healthcare doctor, unwilling to give up, touched the area for a long time before finally breaking out in a cold sweat.

Yes, this little girl just said that if she can't be saved, she'll trade her life for hers!

Anyone can boast, but if it comes at the cost of one's life, then one should think twice.

The doctor immediately bowed to Su Ruyi: "I'm sorry, I was looking at people through a crack in the door! I was like a frog in a well..."

Shen Guoliang interrupted him: "Why don't you kneel down and call me 'Grandma'?"

The healthcare worker blushed, hesitated for a moment, and was about to kneel down.

Su Ruyi quickly grabbed him and said with a smile, "No need to joke. I need to give the old man acupuncture first to clear his meridians and solve his problem of being unable to tolerate tonics. Could you please get me some medicine?"

At this moment, the school doctor's face turned bright red, and he finally cast a grateful look at Su Ruyi: "Hey!"

Su Ruyi took out her small blue notebook and quickly wrote down the names and dosages of several medicinal herbs.

The doctor didn't dare say anything more. He simply followed Su Ruyi's instructions, took the note she had written, and went to find other medications.

Su Ruyi then said, "Everyone is ready, so I'll begin."

After she finished speaking, Shen Guoliang remained standing there, staring at her and waiting for her to make a move.

Su Ruyi also stood still, smiling without saying a word.

Grandpa Cheng finally realized what was happening: "Guoliang, what are you doing standing around like that? This is their exclusive acupuncture formula. Are you waiting to steal it?"

"Fine, fine, I'll leave! I'll leave, okay?"

So Shen Guoliang left angrily, leaving only Su Ruyi and the chief in the room.

Su Ruyi looked at the exquisite old woman.

The old woman looked directly at her with kind eyes: "Dr. Su, please feel free to insert the needle. Just treat me like an ordinary patient. Don't have any worries—I'm not afraid of pain."

"It will indeed hurt a little, let me anesthetize you first." Su Ruyi said, taking out her needle kit and knocking the old man unconscious with the first needle.

Then she locked the door, dragged the old man into the space, and fed him a bowl of marrow-cleansing soup without hesitation.

Su Ruyi had long discovered that the older a person is, the fewer side effects they experience from drinking the Marrow Cleansing Soup, unlike Su Tong who suffered from diarrhea.

She was completely baffled.

Now, considering Chief Cheng's symptoms, it becomes clearer—in infancy, a person's body contains virtually no impurities.

However, as we consume whole grains, impurities begin to accumulate.

As we age, impurities that were originally accumulated on the skin begin to penetrate deeper into the muscles and bones.

At that age, impurities were still in the skin, so they could be easily excreted through the pores.

As for Chief Cheng, the impurities are all in his bones, and the Marrow Cleansing Decoction can no longer help expel them from his body.

At least, one bowl is not enough.

However, this bowl of marrow-cleansing soup should allow him to live for another three to five years without any problem.

After drinking the marrow-cleansing soup, Chief Cheng indeed had no reaction; only the deathly aura in his complexion gradually dissipated.

Su Ruyi then performed acupuncture on him to consolidate the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Decoction.

They then took him out of the space, inserted needles into 13 major acupoints on his body, and then removed the gold needles from the back of Chief Cheng's head.

Chief Cheng slowly woke up, feeling full of energy, and his eyes became much clearer.

He could now clearly see Su Ruyi's appearance, which had been somewhat blurry and double-image in front of him—this little girl was really pretty.

He thought regretfully to himself—it's not a good thing that the little girl is too beautiful.

Especially since she had no one to rely on, she was just a village doctor in Dingjiatun...

And with such skills...

Danger! Danger!

At this moment, the old commander was full of confidence that he could live for another two months.

However, he also understood that he had made too many enemies in his life. His mortal enemies had already let him go because they thought he was going to die, but now...

He could sense that his life was not simply about living for two more months!

His physical condition may return to its peak when he was in his fifties!

Then he can live for many more years!

All of this is thanks to the young village doctor who looks so young.

Then, his mortal enemies will definitely set their sights on this little girl!

He had to hide her away very carefully!

After thinking for a moment, Chief Cheng said, "Dr. Su, would you like to work for me?"

Su Ruyi immediately declined, saying, "Grandpa, my grandfather lives in Dingjiatun, and I have to stay with him! But don't worry, I will come to check on you every seven days for the next two months. As long as you follow my doctor's orders, take your medicine on time, and pay attention to your diet, clothing, and living arrangements, there won't be any problems."

"Alright, alright." Chief Cheng didn't force her, and unconsciously sat up as he spoke.

Su Ruyi exclaimed in surprise and tried to rush forward.

When Chief Cheng realized he had stood up, he was so frightened that he immediately froze—because he would often see stars for a long time whenever he sat up.

But this time, when he sat up, there were no large clusters of golden stars in front of him, and the scenery in the room did not rotate; everything was just as normal!

Commander Cheng couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh: "What a little miracle doctor!"

Su Ruyi opened the door.

Having heard the leader's laughter earlier, Shen Guoliang stopped all the old doctors who were waiting anxiously in the living room and squeezed in through the crack in the door.

Commander Cheng, still with needles in his body, actually sat up and exclaimed in surprise, "Commander, you... are you alright?!"

Su Ruyi hurriedly said, "No, no, this is just to stabilize the leader's condition and clear his meridians. The main thing is still the ginseng decoction."

Chief Cheng said sternly to Shen Guoliang, "You and anyone else who knows about Dr. Su treating me must keep this a secret! Anyone who leaks it, giving the enemy in the shadows an opportunity to harm Dr. Su, will be severely punished by me!"
