It was approaching night.
Old Master Chu sat by the bed and looked at Ah Xing lying on the bed without saying a word.
Jiang Luoning and Jiang Shuyan were making preparations to lure out the poisonous insects, and everyone who was running around outside had also rushed back.
"Grandpa Chu, everything is ready. You can see me at any time." Jiang Luoning called softly.
Old Master Chu nodded slightly at the Jiang siblings, then looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please step back. The poisonous insects will become extremely agitated after being forced out of the body."
When everyone heard the old man's warning, they all took a step back, leaving only Jiang Luoning and Jiang Shuyan, his deputies, to accompany him by the bed.
"Shuyan, after the poisonous insect is drawn out, light a match and throw it into the jar, then close the lid tightly! Luoning, after I give you the second injection, you can feed the pill inside to Ah Xing and have her hold it in her mouth."
Jiang Luoning took the ceramic bottle containing the pills, opened the cork, and a strong herbal aroma hit his face.
On the other side, Jiang Shuyan placed the clay pot on a stool next to Ah Xing's forearm and opened the lid so that the poisonous insects could fall into the pot.
All preparations are ready.
Old Master Chu took out a dagger and cut the middle finger of his left hand. The blood dripped into the jar. After a few seconds of silence, he picked up the silver needle with his right hand.
The first shot, the silver needle landed on Ah Xing's shoulder and neck, but the person on the bed showed no reaction! Then the second shot, the needle landed on the inside of Ah Xing's elbow joint. Ah Xing's forehead instantly broke out in sweat. Seeing this, Jiang Luoning immediately put the pill into his mouth.
Old Master Chu gently twisted the second silver needle, and the purple color of Ah Xing's lips gradually faded. Then the third needle, the fourth needle... were all inserted in sequence along the position of the second needle towards the palm. By the 18th needle, Ah Xing's palm turned black and purple, and the wriggling of the poisonous insect inside could be seen with the naked eye through the skin.
"Little girl, push it to the door!" Old Master Chu suddenly called out to Jiang Luoning.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Luoning looked at the people in front of the door and understood the old man's intention. Then she glanced at her second brother, only to see Jiang Shuyan smile slightly, look up and signal her to go quickly. Helplessly, the girl could only frown and leave the bedside and walk towards the crowd.
When the girl reached the door, Old Man Chu took out the dagger again and cut open the inside of Ah Xing's palm. Dense purple-blue poisonous insects swarmed into the earthenware jar below. Soon, there were fewer and fewer poisonous insects, and the color of the palm and blood returned to normal.
"Shu Yan!"
Following Mr. Chu's shout, Jiang Shuyan threw the lit match into the jar and closed the lid. Then, a crackling sound could be heard from inside.
As Old Master Chu slowly bandaged the wound on Ah Xing's hand, he instructed Jiang Shuyan, "After half an hour, bury this earthenware jar! The poisonous insects inside will turn into a pool of blood and become harmless!"
After hearing this, Jiang Shuyan picked up the clay pot and walked out of the room. Jiang Linghao, who was worried, followed him.
The poisonous insect was successfully lured out, and Ah Xing's complexion returned to normal.
After a long time, the Jiang brothers who had dealt with the poisonous insects had returned, and the rest of the people in the room had not left, but Ah Xing on the bed still had not woken up.
Jiang Luoning was so anxious that he couldn't help asking, "Grandpa Chu, why hasn't Ah Xing woken up yet?"
Old Master Chu looked at the anxious Jiang Luoning, then looked around and saw that everyone's face was full of worry and uneasiness. He raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke softly.
"Don't worry, he'll wake up in less than an hour. The poisonous insects are causing disturbances in his pulse, so he'll need some rest! You can all relax now. Go get busy, there's no point in staying here!"
Han Tianyu stood up first after hearing the old man's comfort, nodded slightly to Old Man Chu, then looked at the old man with burning eyes and said respectfully: "Old Man Chu, I have prepared a room for you. Could you please follow me to the guest room to take a look?"
After he finished speaking, Han Tianyu did not look away. Old Master Chu looked up at the man in front of him, frowning in confusion, but did not ask a question. He looked him up and down. Han Tianyu did not dodge, but nodded calmly. Old Master Chu understood instantly, then stood up and said, "It just so happens that I am a little tired, so I will go and rest first. You can all disperse as well. Just have someone guard the door."
Han Tianyu leaned slightly to the side and raised his hand to invite the old man to go first. Seeing this, Old Man Chu curled his lips slightly, sneered, shook his head and said, "You should lead the way. Don't worry about these details!"
Jiang Luoning and others were confused by the conversation between the two, while Fu Linxiao could see that Han Tianyu was extremely respectful to Mr. Chu, and it was obvious from his words that he had something to discuss and was intentionally avoiding everyone.
Watching the two people leave the room, Fu Linxiao did not mention what he had just noticed. He smiled and asked Jiang Luoning: "Ning'er, does Mr. Chu have any other identities?"
Hearing the man's question, Jiang Luoning hesitated for a moment and shook his head in confusion.
"I don't know either. Actually, Ah Xing rarely mentions Grandpa Chu to us."
Fu Linxiao looked in the direction where the two left, his eyes slightly darkened, and his doubts deepened. But since Han Tianyu chose to avoid everyone, then Mr. Chu's identity must not be leaked at will.
I think we can only know the truth when Mr. Chu speaks in person.
