Chapter 533: Inexplicable Favor

The man in gray didn't want to leave, so Lao Yu winked at him and he followed Nanbao away.

Not only that, the gazes of the secret guards that Jiang Lianzhu had sensed before also seemed to have disappeared.

Jiang Lianzhu smiled gently, "Thank you for trusting me."

The old man said softly, "Of course I believe you. You have taught Nanbao so well, you must be a good woman."

You know, she is a stepmother, not the biological mother.

In the child's mouth and heart, the stepmother is no worse than his biological mother, and her character is trustworthy enough.

Also, since the opening of Jiang's Medical Clinic, Jiang Lianzhu has always had a good reputation and is deeply loved by the people. There have been no disputes, which also indirectly illustrates Jiang's character.

Jiang Lianzhu continued to feel the old man's pulse. "How did you get the cold poison? How long has it been like this? If this continues, your heart meridians won't be protected, and you'll turn into an ice sculpture."

She already knew the old man's real age, he was actually middle-aged.

Because of the cold poison, every time the poison attacked, his life span was spent on protecting the heart meridians. Therefore, he looked extremely old and haggard, and with the change in clothing, even Liao Jiu did not recognize him.

The old man smiled bitterly, "I know. In the past, the poison would occur once every few months, then once a month, and now it occurs twice a month. I got this cold poison when I was accidentally poisoned by a traitor in an enemy country. It has been several years."

Jiang Lianzhu also understood why the old man lived next door to their house.

Because there is a hot spring pool here, and the fiery red stones at the bottom of the pool are all natural sunstones.

It is yang in nature and extremely hot.

The hot spring water combined with the sunstone makes the temperature here almost like a steam bath, which is particularly suitable for the old man to relieve the cold poison.

"Your soak in this sunstone hot spring water will greatly alleviate your condition at first, but I'm afraid it won't be very effective in the later stages."

The old man smiled bitterly, "Its effect has diminished now."

Last night, he sat at the bottom of such a hot spring pool that frost had already formed on his head.

This has never happened before.

He could hardly hold it back any longer.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have turned into an ice sculpture long ago. Several famous doctors had predicted that he would not live more than three years after being poisoned by the cold. Now it is the fifth year.

But the high-spirited look was gone, and only the lingering breath remained.

If he were to meet the emperor now, even Emperor Xuan would probably not be able to recognize him for a while.

well……

Jiang Lianzhu took out a silver needle and said, "I'll clear your meridians and relieve the cold blood that's blocked in some places. I've seen medical cases for your condition in ancient books, but I can't say for sure if it can be cured now. I'll study it further after I get back."

Before, she could tell from Lao Yu's face that his qi and blood were blocked, but she didn't expect that he had such a severe cold poison.

The old man didn't hold much hope.

Hearing Jiang Lianzhu say this, I thought she was just making an excuse to save herself from embarrassment.

Before the cold poison was so severe, several famous doctors said the same thing, but there was no further news.

He smiled and said, "Okay, where do you want to be pierced?"

He cooperated.

Jiang Lianzhu asked the old man to stand up straight and take off his outer clothes. She then gave him acupuncture carefully on the shore.

The chest and back were all tied up.

Cold blood oozed out of the needle eye and almost stagnated.

After all the operations, Jiang Lianzhu's forehead was sweating.

As soon as the old man stood up from the hot spring, his skin began to feel cold and as if it were covered with frost. However, due to Jiang Lianzhu's acupuncture, the frost quickly melted away.

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly...

Is this Doctor Jiang really good at this?

The acupuncture techniques here are different from those of ordinary doctors.

Doctor Jiang was able to accurately find the spot on his body where the cold was most severe and give him the needle precisely.

When Jiang Lianzhu was giving acupuncture to the old man, the withdrawn secret guards seemed to come back again, and several of their eyes were cast on her.

She was not at all confused and just pretended not to notice.

Continue acupuncture.

Every time she gave an injection, she would judge where to give the next injection based on the signs of blood oozing out.

Ordinary doctors just give acupuncture, but she uses some internal force in every acupuncture. Without internal force, she would not be able to find the point of cold blood congestion.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Lianzhu put away the needle.

"How are you feeling?"

The old man's expression relaxed. "Much better than before. Thank you, Doctor Jiang. How much is the consultation fee? Just tell me..."

Jiang Lianzhu was a little tired. "Let's not talk about the money for now. Let's talk about it after you're cured. I'll go back to the clinic and prescribe some blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine for you. Just ask someone to go with me to get it. I'll come back to check on your condition tomorrow..."

"Do I need acupuncture every day? I feel that the acupuncture has relieved a lot of my pain." The old man didn't quite trust Jiang Lianzhu before, but just let her take a look out of politeness.

As a result, whether this person is an expert or not can be seen from just one move.

Now, the old man inexplicably felt a surge of hope.

Just now, Jiang Lianzhu was concentrating and giving him acupuncture with all her strength. The old man saw it all. For some reason, he felt a sense of closeness to her. Before, he regarded her as just his daughter's mother and treated her with a kind of distant courtesy.

Now that he has been given acupuncture, his condition has been alleviated, and when he looks at Dr. Jiang again, he feels an inexplicable fondness for him.

It is so rare and precious that a woman has such medical skills nowadays.

"You don't need to get acupuncture every day. I believe that by tomorrow, the cold poison in your body should have subsided." This disease is a sudden onset disease.

Come and go at random.

Let’s see tomorrow how your body is doing after the cold poison has gone away.

"Okay. Send someone to get the medicine from Doctor Jiang."

Someone answered "yes" in secret, and then a person appeared silently. He had been hiding somewhere and even Jiang Lianzhu didn't notice him.

Jiang Lianzhu wiped the sweat off her forehead, put away the silver needle, and went out.

Nanbao and the three snow wolves were waiting outside obediently.

"Mother, how is Lao Yu?"

"Well, he's feeling better now. Let's rest. Let's not disturb him. Let's go home and let him recover."

"Okay!"

The mother and daughter held hands, followed by three snow wolves, and prepared to go home.

I just walked down an aisle when I met someone head-on.

He is a tall, strong young man with a burly build.

He has a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a serious expression, a long sword hanging around his waist, dressed in tight clothes, and walks with a breeze.

When he saw Jiang Lianzhu and her daughter, he paused, his expression displeased, and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you come here?"

Nanbao was not convinced. What she was most dissatisfied with was when others spoke to her in a condescending manner.

He followed suit and said crisply, "Who are you? How dare you break into Lao Yu's house!"

The man was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Nanbao's tone of voice was even louder than his.
