Shen Banxia wasn't particularly happy. If it weren't for the large, bold red characters flashing on the script on the screen, she wouldn't have made a move.

As the acupuncture began, Zhou Mingjiao couldn't help but shrink back. She had felt completely exhausted, but now she didn't know where the strength came from.

Seeing this, Shen Banxia said, "Mother-in-law, hold her tight, or don't blame me if the needle moves."

Zhou's mother tried to reason with her, saying, "Jiaojiao is terrified of needles, so why don't we just give her some medicine?"

“Okay,” Shen Banxia said readily, “but if the residual poison doesn’t affect you and there are any aftereffects, then don’t blame me.”

Zhou's mother choked for a moment, then quickly urged Zhou Mingjiao, "Jiaojiao, listen to me, let's get the illness treated as soon as possible."

Zhou Mingjiao couldn't help but push her, but after that force, she felt weak all over, which was almost like a tickle to Zhou's mother.

"Grandma, hold her hand firmly and don't move."

Zhou's mother was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. "What? You want to stab my hand?"

Shen Banxia nodded.

Zhou Mingjiao said in a hoarse voice, "No, no, I don't want to."

Would Shen Banxia try to persuade her, saying, "Then you can just wait to die"?

As soon as she finished speaking, the bold red warning words kept flashing wildly, and Shen Banxia felt like her eyes were about to blur.

He couldn't help but internally scream, "Shut up!"

That's how people are sometimes; the more indifferent you are, the more afraid Zhou Mingjiao becomes.

He shakily stretched out his hands, turned his head to one side, and said with a death-defying air, "Go ahead and stab me."

"Wait a minute," Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Laosi, "Laosi, come and help me." She was worried about what would happen if she couldn't catch it.

Zhou Laosi didn't say anything.

They say the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and Zhou Mingjiao's pig-like scream rang out, "Ah—", the echo reverberating, making it feel like the snow on the roof was about to fall.

If it weren't for Zhou's mother's foresight, Zhou Mingjiao would have already broken free by now.

Even so, in extreme pain, she bit down on Zhou's mother's shoulder.

Zhou's mother almost burst into tears.

Seeing that Chen Banxia was about to use her needle for the second time, Zhou's mother quickly stopped her, "Wait a minute, let me catch my breath first," and then said to Zhou Mingjiao, "Jiaojiao, let go quickly."

But Zhou Mingjiao was completely immersed in pain. Zhou's mother had no choice but to look at Zhou Mingqian beside her and say, "Eldest son, come over here quickly and pry her mouth open."

Zhou Mingqian pursed his lips, and at his wife's prompting, he finally pried her mouth open, but he showed no tenderness whatsoever.

Shen Banxia had sharp eyes; she could see clearly that Zhou Mingjiao was also trying to take the opportunity to bite Zhou Mingqian.

If Zhou Mingqian hadn't restrained her with his thumb and forefinger, she really would have succeeded.

Seeing this, Shen Banxia found a piece of wood and handed it to Zhou's mother, "Here, let her chew on this."

"Oh? Isn't this a bad idea?" Zhou's mother was still reluctant. What if she broke her tooth?

"That's up to you. If it bites you again, there's nothing we can do."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother stuffed the wooden stick into Zhou Mingjiao's mouth without saying a word.

Before Zhou Mingjiao could react, the second needle came, and she instinctively bit down hard on the stick.

Zhou Mingjiao glared at Shen Banxia with resentment, saying that she had almost broken all her teeth.

Not only that, he also harbored hatred for Zhou's mother.

She trusted her mother so much, and in the end, she almost lost her life.

Shen Banxia didn't care what she was thinking and directly pricked her ten fingers with needles.

Well, actually, a few fingers would be enough, but ten would be better, so I chose a different option.

As for the script on the screen, if it weren't for that line of tiny print that was almost invisible, she wouldn't care whether Zhou Mingjiao lived or died.

The world is collapsing, but she hasn't seen it yet. The small print in the bottom right corner says that the baby in her belly is in danger.

Almost immediately after I saw that line of text, I felt a pain in my stomach.

At that moment, she knew that what the script on the screen said was true.

Shaking her head, after the needles were inserted, Shen Banxia first gave a demonstration, squeezing out the black blood from her fingers, and then looked at Zhou's mother, "You can do the rest of the fingers yourselves," and then pulled the needles out.

He also added a reminder, "Don't hold back, otherwise if you don't squeeze it all out, then..."

Zhou's mother glared at her fiercely, "Isn't this your responsibility as a doctor?"

"Yes, but I don't have much strength in my hands right now. If you don't mind, that's fine too."

How could Zhou's mother be at ease? If it weren't for the heavy snow blocking the door and preventing them from going outside, she wouldn't have come to find Chen Banxia.

Soon, Zhou Mingjiao's pig-like screams echoed through the room again, a scream so loud it could have blown the roof off.

Because of this, some villagers came over, but when they saw that it was for medical treatment, they laughed it off and went back.

After the black blood was drained, Zhou Mingjiao's hair looked like it had been washed; if she hadn't been panting, it would have looked like she had died.

While they were bleeding the blood, Shen Banxia had already written the prescription.

Looking at Zhou's mother, he said, "This is the medicine she needs to drink; you should get it ready as soon as possible."

Zhou's mother glared at her, "What do you mean by this? Aren't you going to get the medicine?"

Shen Banxia sighed helplessly; it really wasn't something she did on purpose.

"As you all know, I'm just a barefoot doctor. Zhou Mingqian got all the Chinese herbal medicines. The hospital only has some Western medicines. I don't have a complete set of medicines. I asked my father to help me apply for some, but nothing ever happened."

Zhou's mother choked.

She was the one who stopped this in the first place; who would have thought the boomerang would end up hurting them?

Holding the prescription, Zhou's mother looked at her suspiciously, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Shen Banxia spread her hands, "Mother-in-law, if that's what you think, there's nothing I can do. But like I said, if you don't read clearly, I can't say what the consequences might be."

"You, you, how could you be so vicious?"

Shen Banxia's face darkened.

Worried that she might cause trouble, Zhou's mother didn't dare to say anything more.

As for Zhou Mingjiao, her fingers were connected to her heart, and after this ordeal, she was truly on the verge of death and resurrection.

But in her heart, she finally understood why so many people came to see Shen Banxia for treatment.

Now, she felt that her father was right; Shen Banxia's medical skills could not be acquired through training alone.

If that's the case, then why did she hide it? Zhou Mingjiao wanted to know, but she also knew that Shen Banxia definitely wouldn't tell her, so she kept a watchful eye on her.

It can only be said that Zhou Mingjiao sometimes really does have a bit of luck. Just then, Zhou's father came over and said that a road had been cleared outside to get out.

After Zhou Mingjiao and the others left, Shen Banxia looked up and was surprised to find that the script on the light screen had changed.
