Xu Tianze and Long Musi returned to the Third Prince's Mansion in a carriage, and were scolded by Old Qi who was guarding the door. Xu Tianze and Long Musi looked at each other helplessly, lowered their heads and let Old Qi vent his anger, and then they successfully lay down on the bed.
But before he had even laid down for half a cup of tea, he was pulled up by Old Qi again. Seeing Old Qi taking Long Musi's pulse with a gloomy face, Xu Tianze shrank his head, then looked around with his eyes rolling around.
"I advise you to wait there obediently, otherwise... hehe..." Old Qi didn't even look at Xu Tianze, but his words were creepy.
"No, Master, where did you go? I was just taking a look, just a look." Xu Tianze had a flattering look on his face, but he was a little timid in his heart.
I knew he would come back after a while. This old man is usually like a naughty boy, but when it comes to treating patients, if you don't listen to him, he will definitely let you know the consequences of offending him when he gives you acupuncture and prescribes medicine.
But apart from being a little painful, bitter and smelly, the medicine is also guaranteed to be effective, so people just have to endure it silently, and have no place to complain even if they are hurt by a soft knife.
Originally, Xu Tianze didn't know about this until one time when Old Qi was treating a little kid, the little kid kicked Old Qi, and Old Qi just smiled and said it was okay.
But the original prescription turned into an acupuncture, and the little brat screamed in pain, which was creepy to hear. However, after the procedure, the little brat's symptoms were relieved a lot instantly.
The parents of the naughty child thanked him profusely. Old Qi looked at the little brat and made faces at him, so he just smiled and said it was a piece of cake. Then he said that if they wanted to cure it completely, they should give him acupuncture for seven consecutive days to see how it goes.
After hearing this, the little brat looked as if the sky had fallen. Later, Old Qi insisted on giving the little brat acupuncture for more than half a month, causing the little brat to cry whenever he saw Old Qi.
Later, Xu Tianze found out from private inquiry that the disease could have been cured with acupuncture in three days, but the little brat was always making trouble, which annoyed Old Qi.
Old Qi directly changed to the acupuncture method, which not only cured the child's illness but also made the child stronger, but the price was that each acupuncture session became more painful than the last.
The key is that this acupuncture method cannot be stopped. Once it is stopped, all the previous treatments will be wasted and re-diagnosis and treatment will be required. Therefore, Mr. Qi is not afraid that the parents of the naughty children will suspect that the acupuncture has been interrupted, which will expose the truth.
At most, the child would have to suffer for another month. We knew that the child's parents were quite patient and forced the child to persevere through it. Otherwise, the child would have suffered more in the future.
Just like that, the family got sick less often after taking care of the child, and they would send a lot of farm vegetables to Mr. Qi during festivals. Mr. Qi felt relieved and received gratitude from others.
Xu Tianze is not a fool and does not want to try Mr. Qi's methods at all, so it is better for him to sit aside and wait for Mr. Qi to diagnose him.
Seeing that Xu Tianze was so cowardly and pretending to be a good boy, Old Qi gave Xu Tianze a cold look. He knew Xu Tianze's temper very well. He knew that he had made a mistake, so he called him "Master" obediently.
If he hadn't made a mistake, he would have called him "Old Qi" left and right. Looking at the person whose pulse he was taking, he was also worried.
"Lie down on the bed! I'll finish giving you the acupuncture first." Old Qi let go of his hand, said something angrily to Long Musi, and took out the silver needles from the medicine box.
Long Musi touched his nose. Why did he feel as if he was being taken out on? He also had a bad feeling.
But when he was thinking, he didn't notice the slightly twitching corner of Xu Tianze's mouth, otherwise he might have been able to avoid some suffering.
When Xu Tianze heard what Old Qi said, "Finish the acupuncture first" he knew that Long Musi was in trouble. During the three years in the Valley of Divine Doctors, anyone who offended Old Qi would be sent away by Old Qi with a simple "give him acupuncture first", and then the person who received the acupuncture would scream in pain.
Xu Tianze swallowed his saliva, silently poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Qi Lao in a flattering manner. His eyes clearly read:
Master, now that you have dealt with Long Musi, you can’t deal with me anymore.
"Promising!" Master Qi understood his disciple's expression and snorted coldly, but still said softly, "I see that you look okay. I'll take your pulse later and prescribe some medicine to recuperate. You'll be fine."
Xu Tianze breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and wiped the sweat from his forehead due to fear. The saying that he didn't need acupuncture after looking at the face but not taking the pulse, and not completing the three tests of observation, auscultation, and palpation were all just tricks to fool Long Musi. The only thing he said about not needing acupuncture was directed at Xu Tianze.
Xu Tianze felt relieved. What Old Qi said meant that he would not do anything harmful. Even if he had to give him acupuncture later, he would not be in excruciating pain. So he just looked at Long Musi with sympathy, without any intention of giving him any warning.
Things turned out just as Xu Tianze had expected. The moment he saw Qi Lao Zha take down the sword, he subconsciously closed his eyes, and a muffled groan came from his ears at the right time.
"Qi, Master Qi, I..." Long Musi raised his hand tremblingly, trying to stop Master Qi's next move.
"Oh? You're quite patient." Old Qi sneered, not even looking at Long Musi's raised hand. "You guys hold him down, otherwise if he moves while the acupuncture is being performed, the injury will only get worse."
Long Yi and Ma Zheng looked at each other, nodded to Old Qi together, and then pressed Long Musi down on the bed, unable to move at all.
"No, no...ah~" Long Muse wanted to say something, but Old Qi took action directly, and his voice turned into shouts.
Old Qi missed six stitches in a row. The sweat on Long Mussi's clothes was soaked with sweat, and the bulging blue veins showed the difficulty of Long Mussi. Long Mussi was breathing heavily, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Old Qi stop.
But the next moment, Old Qi took out three relatively long silver needles. Long Musi's eyes widened when he saw them. After these three needles, he really didn't know whether he could survive.
Just as Long Musi was shaking his head frantically and struggling hard, Ma Zheng's dull voice rang out: "Your Highness, hold on a little longer. It will be over soon. You must not give up."
Long Yi, who was standing by, nodded in agreement: "Yes, Your Highness, it will be over if you just bear with it."
When Long Musi heard the words of the two fools holding him, he almost died of anger on the bed. Couldn't they see how much pain he was in? Or could they not see how long the three silver needles that Old Qi took out were?
Huh? The Queen's armor isn't even as long as these three silver needles. If they pierce him, he'll go straight to heaven. And what about A-Ze? Come and save him!
With pleading and expectation in his eyes, Long Musi turned his eyes frantically to search for Xu Tianze, but Xu Tianze had quietly left when Master Qi gave him the third injection.
Even after walking out of the courtyard, Xu Tianze could still hear Long Musi's screams. He shuddered and ran away.
