Chapter 194 Acupuncture that can kill or save people
She had only heard the name in a book, and this needle technique was too dangerous.
"The living dead are those whose bodies are alive but whose souls are not at home, and whose spirits are not in their proper places... This acupuncture method is said in books to have the ability to pull a person's souls back from the gates of hell, hence its name." Fortunately, Ye Xiaomei still remembered it, and she felt a little sweat on her forehead, because this acupuncture method could be fatal if it was off by even the slightest bit.
"You're at least aware of this, but even a slight deviation in the needle can be fatal. It's recorded in unofficial history that it's also called the Yanwang needle."
The old man turned the needle slowly.
Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but take a second look at the old man. Perhaps it was because white beards were a standard feature of "old" Chinese medicine practitioners. This made people think that he had rich clinical experience, and he looked like a sage even in a white coat.
But he is really capable.
"It was you who proposed the ice-skate minimally invasive method?"
"Yes, Master Jiang." Ye Xiaomei did not dare to neglect him. Such an elder made people respect him involuntarily.
"Not bad, it has a future." The old man just praised and opened the needle bag. He slowly put the needles back into the needle bag one by one, rolled them up and put them in his pocket, then walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Uh..." Jia Nannan on the bed frowned and made a sound as the last needle was used.
At this point, the doctors watching outside looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.
"It's not suitable for you to stay here while you're pregnant. The magnetic field is not very good." Old man Jiang warned before leaving.
"Oh, I remember." Ye Xiaomei looked at him with eager eyes as he opened the door and left. She looked at Jia Nannan worriedly, and then the doctors and nurses came in under the leadership of Zhao Xianfeng.
Ye Xiaomei chased after him confidently: "Master Jiang, can you teach me the Thirteen Needles?"
Ye Xiaomei swallowed her saliva as she looked at the figure from behind. The old man must be about 1.8 meters tall. Although he was very thin, he walked lightly with a straight back and didn't look bony at all.
"I want to learn." Old man Jiang stopped, turned around and smiled meaningfully.
"I want to!" Ye Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said firmly, and quickly chased after him.
Perhaps Old Man Jiang was worried about her belly which was bigger than that of other pregnant women of the same month, so the smile on his face disappeared immediately:
"Take care of yourself."
"I don't care." Ye Xiaomei followed closely behind: "Master Jiang, if you can teach me, I will pay the tuition."
"Some of the basic skills in the early stages are free of charge. It all depends on whether you have the talent and perseverance."
"..." Ye Xiaomei was slightly startled: "Then Master means that I should learn the basic skills first?"
"Practice acupuncture more first. The most important thing to avoid with the thirteen needles is slow speed. If you don't follow up with the first needle as quickly as possible, it's no different from murder."
Ye Xiaomei fell into deep thought and suddenly understood: "I have read books on meridian acupoints. Because every pulse is traversed by meridians, if there is no continuity, when stimulating acupoints, if there is no continuity, it will kill people accidentally. Is this what you understand, Master Jiang?"
"It seems you have put in a lot of effort." Old man Jiang did not stop. This girl had become famous in the Military General Hospital as early as last year.
Before going back, Ye Xiaomei went to see Jia Nannan again. She couldn't suppress her joy. With a teacher teaching her such advanced acupuncture techniques, she would definitely be able to save many people in the future.
But when faced with Jia Nannan's weak appearance, Ye Xiaomei's happiness suddenly disappeared:
"Jia Nannan, you have passed the critical period and your illness has been cured."
Jia Nannan twitched the corners of her mouth, looking weak and pale. After all, she had been relying on nutrient solution to maintain her life for nearly a week.
"Really? I feel like I…I lay there for a long, long time, and I had a lot of dreams."
"Really? Did you have a good dream?" Ye Xiaomei tried her best to make her relax.
But Jia Nannan shook her head: "No." She whispered: "I dreamed that I was standing on a mountain, and the mountain collapsed. I was about to drown in the river. I struggled desperately. I also dreamed of my parents. They came to find me, and they pushed me away... But I really had a beautiful dream."
Ye Xiaomei felt a little depressed when listening to the first half. This was probably because her heart had not been warmed for a long time. She often had this kind of dream when she was a child. She was even afraid of dawn and felt particularly insecure in her heart.
"I told you it would be a sweet dream."
"Well, I dreamed of my grandma. She had prepared some gluten soup and was waiting for me at the door with a big bowl..."
Ye Xiaomei suddenly stopped laughing: "You...your grandma, is she still here?"
She was testing, wondering if Jia Nannan didn't know that her grandmother was dead.
Jia Nannan shook her head with a look of relief on her face: "She's gone."
I was scared to death! Ye Xiaomei was thinking that she had just survived the critical period. If she didn’t know that her grandmother was gone, wouldn’t it be a lie to know that now?
"Thank you, Xiaomei." Jia Nannan grabbed her hand with a little more force. With such a weak body, even if she used all her strength, it was just like a light grip:
"Without you, I would be dead. I actually feel that people can actually hear sounds when they die, and they can remember them."
Ye Xiaomei nodded without thinking too much: "When you get better, go back to school and take classes, and get into a good university in the future."
Jia Nannan did not nod this time. She looked at the ceiling with empty eyes and talked to herself:
"Actually, it was my grandmother who forced me to study. I never thought about going to college. Studying would keep me away from her, and she would be too lonely all by herself."
Ye Xiaomei stopped interrupting because she found that she couldn't see what Jia Nannan was thinking.
She was a little distracted for a moment, which reminded her of Qin Rong.
"My grandma can't see anything. She is blind. I was picked up by her. My grandma never married in her life. I still don't understand why she never went to school, but she told me to study hard."
Ye Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat.
On the way back, Ye Xiaomei felt relieved. In fact, everyone in this world has a very unfortunate fate. After comparing herself with others, she found that there are so many people who are worse off than herself.
"Girl, we're here!"
It was only after the driver reminded her for the third time that Ye Xiaomei came to her senses.
"Oh, sorry!" Ye Xiaomei quickly said something polite and got off the car. She paid three yuan and turned around to walk towards the campus. She suddenly turned around and looked at the taxi that was about to turn around.
The profile of the person in the car window looks so familiar.
Ye Xiaomei frowned, and couldn't remember where she had seen it for a moment.
When she finally remembered, Ye Xiaomei took two steps forward and said, "Stop!"
Seeing this, the guard, Master Hu, asked: "What's wrong, little champion?"
"No...nothing? Mr. Hu, can I borrow your phone?" Ye Xiaomei's breathing was a little rapid and she rushed into the security room.
The landline phone in the school dormitory cannot be used to make outgoing calls, only to receive calls, unless you have a phone card, which Ye Xiaomei thought was too expensive and never bought one.
When holding the telephone holder in the security room, Ye Xiaomei's fingers were shaking a little and she dialed the wrong number for the Public Security Bureau twice.
Ye Xiaomei was so anxious that sweat broke out on her back. After hanging up the phone, she might as well use the phone number the man gave her and hurriedly searched for it.
It's so scary. If she was a child trafficker, and she was pregnant with twins, if she was taken away and locked up for a period of time, it would be the death of three people. It's so scary.
"Girl, don't worry, tell me and I'll call for you..."
"No need!" Ye Xiaomei had already taken out the mobile phone from the cloth bag. There was only the man's short code saved in it, which was only three numbers.
After finishing the text call and returning to the dormitory, Ye Xiaomei sat motionless on the edge of the bed, staring straight in a certain direction.
This frightened Shang Zhen so much that she dropped the textbook in her hand and shook Ye Xiaomei:
"What's wrong with you? Did you see a ghost? Please don't scare me, okay?"
Ye Xiaomei slowly looked at Shang Zhen: "The bus driver I stopped when I came back from the Military General Hospital was the one who kidnapped the child."
Shang Zhen felt a chill down his spine when he heard this. Look how scared she was:
"Did you see it clearly?"
"I saw it clearly, and..." Ye Xiaomei was terrified when she thought about it. If it was just this one thing, she wouldn't find it so scary.
"When I left the General Military Hospital, the car was waiting there. I didn't notice it at the time because I sat in the back seat out of habit. Now that I think about it, that was the car I took when I went there."
What this means is waiting for her.
She tried her best to remain calm just now, but she couldn't.
She herself had never thought that she could make a mistake in pressing a multi-digit number twice. She could even see her fingers shaking like Li Tiezhu, the man with cerebral congestion at the west end of the village.
