Shen Yuyao squatted down and signaled the woman to hold the boy's wrist. She immediately placed two fingers on the boy's wrist and began to take his pulse.
At this time, the boy's pulse was very weak.
Upon closer inspection, Shen Yuyao saw that the boy's face was beginning to turn slightly blue, and even the last trace of blood color on his lips had disappeared.
Shen Yuyao frowned. The incident happened suddenly and she didn't have any special medicine to treat critical illnesses.
Shen Yuyao could only hurriedly take out the golden needle from her arms, and without caring about the growing crowd of onlookers around her, she immediately took the child from the woman's arms and laid him flat on the ground.
Almost in the blink of an eye, everyone saw that Shen Yuyao had taken off the child's outer clothes and inserted gold needles into his head, chest, and soles of his feet.
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but murmur, "This...this kind of acupuncture won't kill this child immediately, will it?"
The woman was extremely anxious after hearing what the bystanders said.
In addition, when she saw the young man in front of her, she found that he was so handsome and not very old, which made her extremely worried.
"Master, my child is just starving. Perhaps if we give him something to eat, he will get better. You...you must not harm him."
The onlookers also echoed: "This young man looks unfamiliar and so young, but is he really a doctor? Even though he is a beggar, if you harm him, the government will punish you!"
"Yes, the child's mother said he was just hungry. Why did he have to be given an injection?"
"Could it be that this young master wants to practice with a child?"
"If this child is killed, how will his mother survive? It's really pitiful."
"Sister, if this young master harms your child, we are all willing to go to the government to testify for you and will not let him off easily!"
......
For a moment, the people watching nearby started talking at once.
Zi Su was afraid that Shen Yuyao would be distracted, so she hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, my young master is an excellent doctor. Please give him some time and don't make a fuss and prevent him from treating the child."
Shen Yuyao turned a deaf ear and continued to concentrate on the treatment.
As she spoke, she had already inserted a few more golden needles into the child's body.
But as the needles were inserted, the child's complexion did not improve, but instead became worse, gradually turning black and purple.
Even the waiter, who had just seen that the boy was ill, felt panic in his heart. He hurriedly advised Shen Yuyao, "Sir, I think we should ask a doctor to take a look."
Shen Yuyao knew that the waiter was worried about her. According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, if a beggar was killed for no reason, the person would be taken to the government office and punished.
Then she looked at the crowd standing around watching, their indignant expressions filled with anger, and they might even beat her to death on the spot.
Shen Yuyao raised her head and smiled gratefully at the waiter, "Brother Xiaoer, I am a doctor, don't worry. Although this child's illness is serious, I will definitely be able to save him."
After hearing what Shen Yuyao said, the onlookers all breathed a sigh of relief and their expressions softened.
Just as everyone was quietly watching Shen Yuyao continue to give acupuncture, the boy suddenly raised his hands and feet and began to struggle violently.
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Look, I told you, this kid will definitely be killed by him!"
"It should be getting better, but why does the child look even more critical?"
"Everyone, stand closer together and make sure he doesn't run away."
"Stop! You can't hurt this child anymore!"
"Everyone, please don't just watch him harm the children. You have to find a way to stop him!"
......
For a moment, everyone was outraged, as if Shen Yuyao was already a heinous sinner.
Shen Yuyao bit her lip. She had already diagnosed the boy's pulse. Not only was he extremely malnourished, but he was also poisoned by an extremely hidden chronic poison.
Who could be so cruel?
How could they do such a cruel thing to such an extremely malnourished child?
Since he would go to so much trouble to deal with a child who was about to starve to death, the person who poisoned him must be hiding in the dark at this time, and most likely still admiring his own masterpiece.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyao's eyes turned cold, and she glanced around fiercely.
She shouted, "This child was poisoned. Anyone who deliberately stirs up trouble and disrupts my treatment will be treated as an accomplice of the poisoner!"
For a moment, the crowd around was stunned by Shen Yuyao's sharp words and cold gaze, and the scene gradually quieted down.
Poisoning people?
This is a serious crime!
What’s more, the person being harmed is a beggar?
No one present wanted to be charged with such a crime, so they all shut up and stopped making a fuss.
The boy's mother was also staring at all this in a daze, her mouth wide open but no sound coming out.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Shen Yuyao turned around and shouted to Tang Wei in the dark, "Brother Tang, please help me fix the boy's hands and feet."
Tang Wei walked out from the crowd and followed orders.
But just as he held down the boy's hands and feet, he saw the boy suddenly tilt his head and faint!
At this moment, the crowd cried out in surprise: "That child is dead! He was killed by that young master!"
"Yes, his hands and feet were still strong just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye... How pitiful!"
"Catch her!"
"Send him to the authorities for punishment!"
The crowd erupted again.
Shen Yuyao was horrified when she saw the boy faint. She suddenly remembered the cardiopulmonary resuscitation method that Xu Yunxuan had taught her.
“Stop them!”
She gave orders to Tang Wei and Zi Su.
After saying that, Shen Yuyao knelt on the ground and performed chest compressions on the boy.
Tang Wei obeyed the order and immediately whistled to call out the hidden guards.
Several people drew the scimitars from their waists and formed the crowd into a circle, leaving only Xia Shen Yuyao, the boy and the woman in the center.
Shen Yuyao stopped talking, but her face was solemn as she kept pressing repeatedly.
After pressing with all his strength for nearly a quarter of an hour, the boy's weak breathing seemed to slowly stabilize, and his face turned from dark purple to pale.
Shen Yuyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly reviewed the diagnosis and treatment process in her mind.
Only then did I understand why the boy suddenly fainted.
It turned out that she was anxious to detoxify the boy and used the most overbearing acupuncture technique, but she ignored the boy's long-term malnutrition. His internal organs had long been extremely weak and he almost couldn't withstand such a strong detoxification method.
Now that the boy's life has been saved, Shen Yuyao can finally continue with acupuncture to remove the remaining poison.
"Zi Su, go to the store and buy some rice soup and brown sugar water." Shen Yuyao wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and said to Zi Su.
"That young master really saved the boy!"
"Master, thank you so much for saving my child. I will repay you in my next life by bringing you a piece of grass and a ring."
The boy's mother kept kowtowing to Shen Yuyao.
