It rarely snows in the imperial capital in winter; but today, the golden fallen leaves in the Jiang family garden were covered with the first snow, snowflakes were still floating in the air, and the cold wind was full of chill.
It was particularly lively on Ah Xing's side. Because of everyone, the originally large room seemed a little crowded, and everyone's eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.
Ah Xing, who was sitting on the bed, was very calm. In the middle of the room was a wooden bathtub filled with water. The bathtub was equipped with a temperature control device, and on the table next to it were the things needed for detoxification.
The Dongchen grass, which should have been green, turned dark red after being soaked in blood and specially refined. Next to it was a refined purple pill and a set of silver needles soaked in the medicine. After seven days of blood extraction and nearly half a month of refining and production, the things that Ah Xing needed for detoxification were finally prepared with the cooperation of Grandpa Chu, Jiang Luoning, and Jiang Shuyan.
Old Master Chu looked at his grandson calmly, repeating the process of his detoxification. The Jiang brothers and sisters beside him listened carefully and memorized the steps. Ah Xing said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I have you guys there, I feel relieved!"
Everyone in the room stood silently at the back, trying their best not to make any noise and disturb the three people who were concentrating.
Jiang Shuyan walked to the bathtub in the room and checked the water level and temperature in the bathtub. After it reached the standard required by Mr. Chu, he asked Ah Xing to enter the bathtub with his upper body half naked.
However, Ah Xing was reluctant to take off his shirt. Luo Shuyi noticed the boy's shyness and asked everyone to leave the room.
Seeing that Jiang Luoning still had no intention of leaving, Ah Xing said softly, "Sister, why don't you go out first? Brother Shuyan is here!"
Jiang Shuyan sneered and said with a smile: "Okay, Ningning, you can go out too. I'll help grandpa here."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Luoning glanced at Ah Xing, whose face was already blushing, smiled helplessly, and turned away.
Old Master Chu poured the soaked and refined juice of morning glory into the bathtub. The originally clear water turned a light red. Ah Xing took the purple pill, then stepped into the water half-naked and buried his whole body in it.
The bathroom was filled with mist. Jiang Shuyan stared at the watch on his wrist. Half an hour later, he gave a reminder.
At this time, Ah Xing was sweating profusely, and his hair was wet, not sure if it was from the water in the bathtub or the sweat. His face was flushed, his eyes were closed tightly, and his brows were furrowed.
Mr. Chu's voice asked, "How do you feel?"
Ah Xing's heavy breathing sounded painful. "It hurts. My heart feels like it's on fire. I don't have any strength in my limbs!"
Mr. Chu nodded, and then said to Jiang Shuyan beside him: "Lift his hand up, you can give him acupuncture."
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Shuyan pulled Ah Xing's arm out of the bathtub. It was obvious to the naked eye that the entire arm was terribly red.
Old Master Chu picked up the silver needles soaked in the medicine and inserted them into Ah Xing's arm. After an unknown amount of time, the entire arm was covered with dense silver needles. When one side finished, the two busy people continued to give acupuncture to detoxify without a break. After they were done, both Old Master Chu and Jiang Shuyan had sweat on their foreheads.
After the consultation, Mr. Chu asked Jiang Shuyan to adjust the water temperature to 36 degrees. As the water temperature slowly dropped, the silver needles on Ah Xing's body slowly turned black, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.
"Shuyan, you take the left and I'll take the right, and we'll pull out the needles from top to bottom at the same time! Ah Xing will feel pain when the needles are pulled out, so bear it and don't move!"
Hearing Mr. Chu's order, Jiang Shuyan hurried to Ah Xing's left side. The two looked at each other and pulled out the needles at the same time. The blackened silver needles were slowly pulled out of the body. Every time a needle was pulled out, Ah Xing felt a piercing pain, but he remained motionless and gritted his teeth.
Soon, all the silver needles were pulled out of the body. After the three of them rested for a while, Jiang Shuyan helped Ah Xing, who was sweating profusely again, into the bathroom to wash off the remaining medicine and sweat stains on his body.
Outside the door.
Everyone left Axing's room but did not leave. Although they knew that the detoxification would definitely be successful, they still couldn't avoid everyone's worry.
Jiang Zuping looked at his wife pacing back and forth in the corridor, walked up to her and said to her comfortingly: "Don't worry, Dad will definitely make sure Ah Xing is fine!"
Luo Shuyi looked at her husband and nodded in agreement.
After helping Ah Xing change her clothes, Jiang Shuyan opened the door. Everyone rushed forward upon hearing the sound. Seeing the three people with exhausted faces, they asked, "How are you?"
Old Master Chu was the first to speak: "Why? I, a divine doctor, have already come out of seclusion, and you are still worried!"
Everyone felt relieved after hearing this. When they entered the room, Ah Xing was lying on the bed, looking a little tired.
"Axing, tell your aunt how you feel?" Luo Shuyi looked at the boy with heartache.
The young man curled his lips and smiled; "Don't worry, Auntie, I've never felt so relaxed before. I'm just a little sleepy after soaking in the hot bath for such a long time!"
"Go to sleep, good boy! Have a good rest, and your aunt will prepare something delicious for you!"
Afterwards, before anyone could express their concern, Luo Shuyi kicked Ah Xing out of the room. After watching everyone leave, Ah Xing fell into a deep sleep.
After everyone left Ah Xing's room, they gathered in the living room; Jiang Luoning attentively massaged Mr. Chu's shoulders and neck to relax his nerves that were tense due to acupuncture.
"Dad, can Xiaohan come back and reunite with us?" Luo Shuyi looked at the somewhat tired Grandpa Chu, thought about it, and couldn't wait to ask.
Hearing his mother's words, Jiang Luoning widened his eyes and waited for the old woman's reply.
"Well, that's enough. Ah Xing and I didn't tell him about finding you. We planned to give him a surprise!" Old Master Chu, who was resting with his eyes closed on the sofa, looked very proud.
Jiang Yichen, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at his amiable grandfather and couldn't help but sneer. He smiled and said jokingly, "Grandpa, do you know how adorable you are now? You look just like an old naughty boy!"
After hearing this, Mr. Jiang pretended to be angry and scolded his grandson: "How can you be so disrespectful to your grandfather like that?"
"Humph, I think what my little grandson said is very good. He is praising my youth! I think you, a stinky old man, are just jealous! Yi Chen comes to grandpa's place and ignores your grandfather!"
Old Mr. Chu, who had just looked tired, opened his eyes when he heard this, looked at the old man opposite with disgust, and spoke out without hesitation to snatch the person away.
Jiang Yichen, who was usually regarded as a big enemy, straightened his back and made a face at his grandfather to protest when he saw that someone was backing him up.
Jiang Zuping looked at the people playing around and felt that the atmosphere in the entire Jiang family had changed since his wife and father-in-law met.
It feels so good.
