Chapter 50 This Family is Sick
"shut up!"
Xiaoshu's father became furious when he heard what his wife said.
"I think you're desperate and trying all sorts of treatments! You've been brainwashed by that liar! What a bullshit Chinese medicine theory!"
However, just as he cursed, a pain even more severe than before came!
"Well!"
He groaned, the rest of the words stuck in his throat.
He staggered and leaned against the wall, his face pale and in pain.
Zhang Hui couldn't bear to see him in pain.
She rushed over and begged in a tearful voice, "Hubby, just give it a try! Just think of it as for me, for Xiaoshu! Let Doctor Gu take a look at you! What if...what if it really works?"
Little Tree’s father leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
The pain and his wife's pleading voices intertwined in his mind.
Finally, under the repeated torture of severe pain, he finally agreed.
"good……"
"Let him come tomorrow!"
"I want to see what tricks he can come up with! If he can't cure me, I'll even destroy his crappy clinic!"
…
The next afternoon, at three o'clock sharp.
Gu Chaoyu held Lin Xiaomiao and rang the doorbell on time.
The one who opened the door was Zhang Hui.
Xiaoshu’s father sat alone on the single sofa.
His whole body is filled with evil spirit.
【!!! ！ ！】
Lin Xiaomiao shuddered instinctively.
Oh my god…
[This dad's aura is even more terrifying than yesterday! ]
[Are they really going to fight today? Can Brother Xiaoyu handle it alone?]
Gu Chaoyu simply ignored Xiaoshu's father.
He walked straight to the center of the living room and squatted down in front of Xiaoshu.
"Xiaoshu, how are you feeling today?"
As he spoke, he gently placed Lin Xiaomao in his arms on the carpet.
The moment Xiaoshu saw Lin Xiaomao, his originally dim eyes instantly lit up.
He timidly glanced at his gloomy-faced father not far away, then stretched out his little hand to Lin Xiaomao.
“That’s enough!”
There was an impatient shout.
Xiaoshu's father suddenly stood up from the sofa and glared down at Gu Chaoyu.
"Don't act mysterious in front of my son!"
"Didn't you say you were going to 'cure' me?"
"Come on! Today I will expose your true colors as a charlatan!"
Gu Chaoyu stood up slowly.
He has a well-proportioned and upright figure, and even though he faces the much stronger Little Tree Father, he is not at all inferior in aura.
"Dad Xiaoshu, the tingling sensation in your right side will become significantly worse when you're emotionally excited or after drinking."
"This problem has lasted for at least five years, right?"
The words fell.
The sarcastic expression on Xiaoshu’s father’s face froze.
He never mentioned this to anyone, not even his closest wife!
He always thought it was just an occasional stitch in the side, or caused by overwork.
This "charlatan"...
[How could he...how could he know so much?!]
Could it be that he really...?
Xiaoshu's father began to doubt Gu Chaoyu's medical skills.
[Holy crap! ! ! !]
[Brother Xiaoyu is awesome!!!]
Lin Xiaomiao, who was hiding behind, was cheering for Gu Chaoyu crazily in her heart.
[This is simply a divine fortune teller possessed! ]
[Look at that jerk dad's expression, it's like he saw a ghost in broad daylight! So cool!]
Without waiting for the other party to recover from his shock, Gu Chaoyu continued:
"Your headaches, insomnia, chest tightness, and irritability that you can't control..."
"In traditional Chinese medicine, these are not isolated problems, but rather are caused by liver qi stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis."
"So, it's not 'bad character'."
"It's your body that's sending you distress signals in these ways."
Gu Chaoyu cleverly shifted the responsibility for all problems from "people" themselves to the objective "disease".
These words peeled off layer by layer the armor that Little Tree Father had built up with his temper and toughness.
The pain and vulnerability deep inside him are exposed.
After being exposed, the feeling of anger and shame suddenly surged up.
"What nonsense!"
He roared in a timid tone, "I'm in perfect health! There's no need for you to talk nonsense here!"
However, the confidence in that voice was clearly insufficient.
"We'll know if it's nonsense once we try it."
Gu Chaoyu seemed to have anticipated his reaction and calmly took out a black acupuncture bag from the medical box he carried with him.
The needle bag was spread out on the coffee table, revealing 13 silver needles inside that were shining with a cold light.
"I'll give you the acupuncture. It'll only take fifteen minutes."
"If your headache doesn't ease in fifteen minutes, I will leave immediately and never interfere with anything in your family again."
Xiaoshu's father stared at Gu Chaoyu, then looked at the silver needles that were glowing coldly under the light.
"Okay, you have to keep your word!"
Gu Chaoyu asked him to lie on the sofa and relax.
Disinfection, needle removal, movements are smooth and flowing.
When the first slender silver needle accurately pierced the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, Xiaoshu's father trembled all over.
At this moment, Gu Chaoyu leaned forward slightly to adjust the acupuncture angle.
The clear voice of Xiaoshu’s father came.
【pain……】
[It hurts just as much as when he whipped me with his belt...]
[No…that’s not right…]
[This isn't pain... It's an indescribable soreness...]
[It seems...it seems that the string in my head...is not so tight anymore?]
Gu Chaoyu understood.
His hands did not stop moving, twisting, lifting and inserting, one key silver needle after another fell on the specific acupoints on his head.
As the silver needle fell, Xiaoshu's father's tense body began to relax slowly.
The tightly furrowed brows relaxed unconsciously.
Fifteen minutes later.
Gu Chaoyu began to withdraw the needle.
Little Tree Dad slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, he looked at the young doctor in front of him with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say.
Gu Chaoyu put the last silver needle back into the needle bag and put it away carefully.
Dad told the little tree:
"Acupuncture can only treat the symptoms."
"The root of your physical illness comes from the depression in your heart."
"And the depression in your heart is now becoming the root of illness in Xiaoshu's heart."
"This family is sick."
"We need to treat it together."
Gu Chaoyu's voice was not loud, but this sentence could not be ignored by everyone present.
This time, Xiaoshu’s father did not get angry and did not refute.
He sat back down on the sofa dejectedly, his eyes empty.
Zhang Hui stood aside, watching her husband look so lonely he had never been before, tears silently streaming down her face. But a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
Gu Chaoyu didn't say anything more.
He took out a note and a pen from his medical box, quickly wrote down a prescription, and placed it on the coffee table along with his phone number.
"This is a prescription to regulate your body, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
"This is my phone."
"When you are ready to 'heal your heart', please contact me."
He did not persuade the child too much, but simply left the choice of whether to continue treatment to Xiaoshu's father.
After saying that, he bent down, picked up Lin Xiaomao, nodded slightly to Zhang Hui, turned and left.
The door was gently closed.
In the living room, there were only the family of three and that thin note.
