Chapter 130 Let me hold you for a while first.
This was the first time Parman had called her "junior sister." Qin Suisui knew he did it so as not to affect her reputation in front of outsiders, but at this moment, she was deeply moved.
She is an only child. When her mother gave birth to her, she accidentally damaged her health due to some accidents. Although she recovered later, her father couldn't bear to let her mother suffer again, so they never had another child.
But girls her age usually have several siblings, so she was always envious when she saw other people's older brothers and sisters getting along well.
That's why she kept insisting on writing letters to Pei Jiuyan ever since she learned to write. She was only five years old then, so how could she understand what a fiancé meant?
When did her feelings for him begin to change? Qin Suisui herself couldn't remember.
On her way home on her bicycle, Jia Zhenzhen was still reminiscing about Parman's dashing figure: "Sui Sui, did you see that? Parman flew over in a flash! He really is just like someone from a martial arts novel!"
"Why don't I become his apprentice and learn that move he just used? It was amazing! That way, my husband Jia won't be able to catch me if he wants to beat me!"
"Hmm? But what kind of medicine did you stuff into that old hag's mouth at the end? Some kind of thinner?"
Qin Suisui had been listening to Jia Zhenzhen with a smile, and when she heard Jia Zhenzhen's question, she maintained her smile, but when she parted her red lips slightly, she uttered a terrifying word: "A maggot clinging to the bone."
Seeing Jia Zhenzhen's momentary confusion, she added with a smile, "In the early stages of poisoning, she'll feel maggots wriggling inside her body. Later, she'll feel the maggots gnawing at her bones, and then..."
She didn't finish speaking, but Jia Zhenzhen's eyes were already shining like searchlights: "Is it the same kind of poison as the Ten Thousand Insects Devouring Heart Powder used by Jiang Yulang in 'The Legendary Twins'?"
Qin Suisui nodded: "Pretty much, I also followed the settings in there."
"Hey!" Jia Zhenzhen quickened her pace on the bicycle, bringing it closer to her: "Sui Sui, why would I want to become Paman's apprentice? How about I become your apprentice instead? I want to become a master poison master!"
Qin Suisui quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching before giving her a wink: "Keep your voice down! Is this something to be proud of?"
If someone with ulterior motives finds out that I'm secretly reading these books, it could be another source of trouble!
A string of laughter echoed along the road...
They went back to the family compound first.
The main reason was that Qin Suisui had too much stuff. In addition to what Palon gave her, there was also a large basket of fresh pheasants, pigeons, smoked meat, wild rice, and wild tea that Paman gave her, as well as the stuff from the two "water carriers" they had intercepted earlier.
In addition, Jia Zhenzhen and Paman had shot more than ten wild rabbits, wild ducks, bamboo partridges and other animals with a slingshot on their way back, and she had taken half of them. There were too many things, so she couldn't put them directly into her space in front of Jia Zhenzhen, nor was it convenient to take them directly to the hospital. So she simply went back to pack them up.
After Jia Zhenzhen delivered the items to her, she took a bunch of prey home to curry favor with her mother.
Qin Suisui tidied up her things, putting everything that needed to be put into her spatial storage. Without even taking a shower, she rushed to the hospital with the antidote.
It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and the hospital was bustling with people, most of whom were heading to the cafeteria.
Qin Suisui jogged along the roadside and soon arrived at Pei Jiuyan's ward.
There was no one in the ward except Pei Jiuyan, who lay there quietly. The gauze on his head had been removed, and his complexion looked much better, but he was still fast asleep.
On the chair next to him was a thermos, which should belong to Chi Donglin. Ever since his injury, he had paid extra attention to health and asked Qin Suisui for many health tea recipes. At this moment, it was filled with goji berries.
He must have gone out to get hot water.
Qin Suisui stepped forward and touched Pei Jiuyan's face, then gently pressed her face against his chest and whispered, "Ayan, I'm back. I'm about to detoxify you. Are you ready?"
The person beneath her did not answer, but the steady, powerful heartbeat gave her immense satisfaction.
She went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then took out silver needles, disinfectant alcohol, and the antidote given to her by Palon from her spatial storage.
That's right. To completely cure this poison, you not only need to drink the antidote, but also need to use a set of acupuncture techniques.
As she was preparing, Chi Donglin returned carrying a kettle of hot water. His eyes lit up when he saw her: "Oh! Little sister, you're finally back! Are you alright?"
"If you don't come back soon, your brother Yunlai and I are planning to come looking for you!"
Qin Suisui smiled and nodded at him, then looked at his stubble-covered chin: "Brother Donglin, you've worked hard these past few days."
Seeing her like this, Chi Donglin knew she had found the antidote.
He carried the kettle, locked the ward door behind him, and asked hopefully, "Sister, did you find it?" Had they found the antidote?
Qin Suisui smiled and nodded at him.
Outside the door, Song Yunlai, who had gone out to get food, returned. He opened the ward door but couldn't get it open, so he cursed outside: "Chi Donglin, what are you doing? What are you doing hiding in there like a ghost? Open the door for me! Open the door for me..." He was halfway through his curse when he obviously saw Qin Suisui inside.
Chi Donglin also walked to the door, cursing: "Are you trying to call back my soul?!"
Song Yunlai ignored him, rushed in with the lunchbox in hand, and looked at Qin Suisui: "Little sister, you're finally back! Are you alright?"
Looking at the silver needles and medicine she had placed on the table, he excitedly asked, "Found it?"
The two of them asked almost the exact same questions, but Qin Suisui didn't feel impatient at all. On the contrary, she was happy that Pei Jiuyan had such two true friends.
After feeding Pei Jiuyan the antidote pill, Qin Suisui planned to administer acupuncture.
Just like last time, Chi Donglin consciously moved a stool to block the doorway, with Song Yunlai assisting her.
Before starting, Chi Donglin hesitated and asked, "Little sister, are you sure you don't need to start with me?"
He had just suggested that he test the medicine first, since Pei Jiuyan's condition was special; he was already unconscious, and if anything went wrong, the consequences could be very serious.
Qin Suisui smiled and shook her head: "Brother Donglin, although you were poisoned by the same kind of poison, the situation is different. I will treat your poison tomorrow." The main reason is that she cannot administer acupuncture twice in a row.
Chi Donglin quickly waved his hand: "Sister, I'm not in a hurry. The most important thing right now is Ayan."
They were already quite familiar with each other, so there was no need for formalities. Qin Suisui nodded and calmed down to begin administering acupuncture.
This is a set of acupuncture techniques completely different from the "Midnight-Noon Flowing Method," but they have the same effect. Therefore, Qin Suisui grasped it quickly and learned it quickly.
Two hours later, after the acupuncture was finished, Qin Suisui was soaked to the bone, as if she had been pulled out of the water. But her eyes were exceptionally bright. When she removed the needles, she could clearly feel that Pei Jiuyan's blocked meridians had been cleared. According to her master, this meant that the toxins had been expelled.
Song Yunlai promptly handed her a glass of water, then frowned as he looked at the nearly half-basin of black blood dripping from Pei Jiuyan's fingertips: "Is this all poisonous blood? Will it be detoxified after releasing Ayan?"
Qin Suisui smiled and nodded: "Yes, the poison in his body has been basically eliminated. If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up in the next couple of days."
These past few days, Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai have taken good care of Pei Jiuyan at the hospital. His external injuries have basically healed, and his internal injuries are also fine.
Because Qin Suisui has been away for the past few days, Pei Jiuyan needs someone to take care of him, so Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai have been taking turns looking after him.
Fortunately, the organization knew about their situation and didn't make things too difficult for them. However, they had been busy with work and the hospital these past few days and hadn't had a good rest. You could tell from their stubble-covered faces.
Qin Suisui sent the two of them back to rest. The two were initially unwilling, but they couldn't resist Qin Suisui's firm attitude, so they had no choice but to agree to come and relieve her first thing in the morning.
It was already past nine o'clock at night when they left.
She's been in the wilderness for the past few days and hasn't had a proper bath. That night at the Snake Witch Tribe, with so many snakes outside, she didn't dare to relax and just gave herself a quick wash. And tonight, she's sweated so much from the acupuncture treatment.
Qin Suisui simply locked the ward door from the inside and went into her private space to take a good shower.
She had several sets of spare clothes in the room, along with a bathtub and hot water. She also took a Lux soap bar that she had intercepted from the two "smugglers" and took a comfortable bath.
Song Yunlai had left her a portion of the food he brought back earlier. It was mixed grain rice with stir-fried chicken giblets with pickled bamboo shoots and cold wild vegetables. After Qin Suisui finished eating, she lay down right next to Pei Jiuyan.
Now that all the medical equipment and IV drips had been removed from his body, there was plenty of space on the hospital bed. Qin Suisui avoided his injured leg, lay down on her side next to him, felt his steady and strong heartbeat, looked at the twinkling stars outside the window, and drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face.
She didn't know how long she had slept when she suddenly felt an itch on the tip of her nose. Qin Suisui mumbled something to herself, then turned her face away and went back to sleep.
A minute later, she suddenly opened her eyes, turned her face, and met Pei Jiuyan's smiling eyes.
Her brain seemed not to have processed what had happened yet. Qin Suisui squeezed her eyes shut, then opened them again, her eyes bursting with boundless joy, still a little moist: "Ayan, you're awake?"
Pei Jiuyan smiled at her and nodded.
Qin Suisui immediately sprang to her feet and was about to call the doctor.
Pei Jiuyan grabbed her wrist, saying, "Wife, don't go. Let me hold you for a while." His throat was very dry and hoarse after being unconscious for so long, and his voice was very unpleasant, but it still made Qin Suisui burst into tears.
She nestled obediently in his arms, their bodies pressed tightly together, as if pouring out all the longing she had felt during this time.
"When did you wake up? I didn't know?" Qin Suisui nestled in his arms and spoke softly.
Pei Jiuyan played with her hand: "Around five o'clock, it was just getting light. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you."
Qin Suisui raised her hand to look at her watch. It was already past seven o'clock. He had been awake for more than two hours, much earlier than she had expected.
It was only then that Qin Suisui realized that she had originally slept on her side before going to bed last night, only taking up a quarter of the bed. Now she had taken up almost half of it, and Pei Jiuyan, the patient, had been squeezed into a corner, a tall and big man, just sitting there with his injured leg crossed.
She felt a little embarrassed for a moment; she really wasn't a very good sleeping person.
