"It seems we need to accumulate more faith power."
Yun Zhourong's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of surprise this safety amulet will bring in the end."
"Well, we'll see."
Ji Minxiu nodded, then took out his tablet and said, "I promised to give you the acupuncture training videos, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow. Rest now."
"good."
Yun Zhourong was burned by fire and frightened by the safety buckle today, so her mental energy was really insufficient, and she almost fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
She has gradually gotten used to Ji Minxiu sleeping next to her.
Looking at Yun Zhourong's peaceful sleeping face, Ji Minxiu unconsciously smiled slightly, feeling an unprecedented sense of peace in his heart.
Strangely enough, he actually found the little girl's dark complexion quite endearing.
In the days that followed, Yun Zhourong spent her time taking care of patients and practicing acupuncture using eggplants and oranges.
Ji Minxiu would return to the villa during the day to handle official business, and would use video conferencing for meetings.
People in the company were initially speculating whether something had happened to Ji Minxiu, since everyone knew that he had undergone surgery for a stomach ailment.
Although it's said to be a stomach bezoar, who knows if it's a more serious illness? As an heir, good health is equally important.
Now that he is safe and sound, the rumors have finally subsided.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Zhourong had practiced needle insertion on objects for a while and needed to start practicing on the human body.
So, Ji Minxiu pulled her to Liu Pingkang, saying, "Yun Doctor needs your help with something."
Liu Pingkang's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest with great enthusiasm, "Just tell me what you need, and I'll do my best to help!"
"Well, it's nothing serious."
Then, Ji Minxiu calmly expressed his thoughts, "Such a heroic figure as the postmaster, surely you are not afraid of needles?"
Seeing Liu Pingkang's suddenly pale face, Yun Zhourong wanted to laugh, but dared not, and could only lower her head and purse her lips tightly.
There was no other way; it was all for her sake, and we couldn't afford to let her down at this crucial moment.
Looking at Liu Pingkang again, he saw beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
He wasn't afraid of bloodshed or sacrifice, but he had absolutely no resistance to the sharp, thin needles; just looking at them made him feel terrified.
"Cough cough cough... Please... save me... I... have smallpox... it must be... save my life..."
Just then, a weak knocking sound came from the next room, from which the female official, Ms. Feng, was seen pleading for help.
"Ah, right, right, right, the female doctor Yun has a patient right here, so it's even more reasonable for you to treat her."
Liu Pingkang immediately realized what was going on and pointed to the room, saying, "This female official, Ms. Feng, was previously kept in solitary confinement, and we forgot to vaccinate her against smallpox. Now that she has contracted smallpox, you can treat her."
"Yes, that will be just in time."
Ji Minxiu nodded to Yun Zhourong, then glanced at Liu Pingkang, letting him escape unscathed.
“Yes, yes, yes, you can treat me however you like, Doctor Yun!” Liu Pingkang quickly said.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Yun Zhourong knew that this Lady Feng was no good person, so she felt no pressure at all.
Lady Feng, however, was terrified when she saw Yun Zhourong holding the needle and about to prick her. She exclaimed, "What are you doing? I've never seen such a method of treatment before. Are you just trying to settle a personal score?"
"You can also choose not to get it done and just wait to die," Yun Zhourong said calmly, then turned to leave.
She also hated Lady Feng to the core.
If it weren't for Ji Minxiu's help, she and her family from the second wife's side would have been burned to death long ago. This person doesn't deserve any sympathy.
"Don't go, I'm willing to get stabbed, I'm willing!"
Lady Feng had been vomiting and having diarrhea for several days, and yesterday she started having a fever. She knew that if she didn't get treatment soon, she would die.
Now she is at the mercy of others, and no matter how much she resists, she has no choice but to accept it.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong was overjoyed and took out the needle with sparkling eyes.
Seeing her excited expression, Lady Feng felt that she had made a terrible mistake, and her initial worry turned into fear.
And the fact is, her hunch was correct.
Although Yun Zhourong had practiced beforehand, the actual experience was completely different and much more difficult than she had imagined.
Even though she was very careful, accidents still happened frequently.
It's either crooked, the position wasn't right, or the blow was too heavy and pierced the blood vessel.
Anyway, after a whole day, there wasn't a single patch of good skin left on Doctor Feng's hands, and her screams never stopped.
Even when she was too weak to speak, her body would still twitch involuntarily in pain.
She desperately wanted to resist, but she also didn't want to die, so in the end she could only endure it.
Hearing the sounds outside that resembled torture, Liu Pingkang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling thankful that he hadn't become a guinea pig.
That's so tragic!
After leaving Lady Feng's room, Yun Zhourong shook her hands wearily. "This is much more difficult than I imagined. You must have studied for a long time to be so proficient."
Ji Minxiu nodded.
Overseas hospitals are very expensive, so he couldn't afford to go. He taught himself some basic medical principles and then bought medicine on the black market to treat himself.
Over the years, he honed his injection skills.
Of course, since it's a task done on myself, there aren't many opportunities to practice, so I learn slowly.
With someone specifically assigned to practice on her, given Yun Zhourong's intelligence, she'll likely be able to master it quickly.
"Waaaaah, Healer Yun, please help me!"
Just as the two were about to return to their dormitory, they saw several villagers carrying an old man on their backs, crying and shouting as they ran towards them.
Looking closer, one could see that the old man had been struck in the leg by an arrow, and was bleeding profusely.
Yun Zhourong was greatly alarmed and quickly had someone take him inside.
After examination, it was found that although the arrow was embedded in the flesh, it had not damaged the bone, which was a relatively good situation.
But she still frowned. "The arrowhead has barbs, so it will require cutting open the skin to remove it. It's too painful, so we need to give the patient painkillers. Otherwise, the elderly person might not be able to endure it."
Upon hearing this, Liu Pingkang said gravely, "Painkillers are mainly sent to the border battlefields, and with the current cold disaster leaving almost nothing growing, they are nowhere to be found."
"Then...what should we do?" Upon hearing this, the old man's family members all burst into tears on the spot.
"I have some anesthetic powder here, you can use it."
At this moment, Ji Minxiu took out the medicine and applied local anesthesia to the area around the old man's leg injury.
"Huh, the wound doesn't hurt anymore." The old man, who had been pale, quickly showed a look of surprise.
"That's wonderful, thank you so much, Miss Biao!" The elderly woman's family members were overjoyed and wept with joy.
Ji Minxiu then looked at Yun Zhourong and said, "We can take the arrowhead from him now."
"But...but I've never removed an arrowhead before..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong hesitated and looked at Ji Minxiu, asking, "Cousin, do you know how to treat external injuries?"
Her grandfather's book did contain information on how to treat arrow wounds, but theory and practice are always different, and she lacked confidence.
