"If you do anything to our old man, who can stop you?" Uncle Qin said with difficulty, and he also did not believe that a young girl like Suiyi could cure the old man.
"Idiot! Get out of here. Lin Xiao, drag him out!" Sui Yi sneered at Uncle Qin and called out to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao dragged him out, and at the door, said, "He's all yours now, thank you!"
"Bai Luo, close the door. Find something to cover the security camera," Sui Yi ordered. "Yes, sir." While Bai Luo was running errands, Sui Yi took out silver needles and a pill from her bag.
"If you're done, come over and take off Grandpa Qin's oxygen mask."
"this……"
"What are you hesitating for? Just do it when I tell you to." Sui Yi frowned.
Bai Luo had no choice but to do as he was told. As soon as he took off his oxygen mask, Sui Yi took out a pill and quickly put it into the old man's mouth.
"Alright, now help me take off the old man's clothes and help him up."
Bai Luo didn't dare hesitate and quickly did as she was told. Sui Yi took out the silver needles, took a deep breath, her eyes focused intently, and her hands moved so fast that only afterimages could be seen. Starting from the head and moving to the upper body, every acupoint was pricked with needles. Sui Yi took five minutes in total, and Bai Luo was completely stunned.
Sweat beaded on Sui Yi's forehead as she gently twirled the silver needles in her hands. If a skilled practitioner were present, they would undoubtedly see Sui Yi drawing a kind of energy into the old man's body as she performed the acupuncture—it was spiritual energy.
The system inside the space was dumbfounded. What the hell was that? Wasn't its master just a mere mortal? How could it know those things? It was truly extraordinary.
Over here, Sui Yi, already suffering from the intense acupuncture and loss of spiritual energy, was gradually turning pale! Finally stopping the acupuncture, Sui Yi used her fingers to massage the old man's meridians. Slowly, a long blue vein bulged on the old man's left hand.
"Quick, use the knife to cut the old man's five fingers apart."
"good!"
After the old man cut open his fingers, Sui Yi took out five jade bottles and slipped one onto each of his five fingers. The old man's fingers didn't bleed; instead, after a short while, something emerged from his fingers and fell into the bottles, and the prominent vein on his finger disappeared. This horrified Bai Luo. It was as if insects were emerging from the old man's body.
Suiyi removed one bottle and put the cap back on, and finally removed all five bottles.
"What is this?" Bai Luo swallowed hard.
“There are insects inside, you could say they’re poisonous insects,” Sui Yi said.
"What? Isn't this the legendary thing?"
"Don't make wild guesses. This insect just entered the old man's body by chance, survived, and turned into a Gu. Nowadays, almost no one would make such a thing."
"How did you know?" Bai Luo asked curiously.
"Don't ask so many questions, okay? If you ask again, I'll put this inside your body. Also, you can't say a word about what happened today, understand?" Sui Yi threatened him, picking up the bottle.
"What should I say if someone asks?"
"Just tell him I'm an apprentice of an old Chinese medicine doctor, and I've learned acupuncture. I stimulated the old man's brain nerves, which is why he was able to get treatment, understand?"
"Okay! I understand. I will absolutely not utter a single word about what happened today," Bai Luo swore.
"Alright! Find something to tie up the old man's wound, I'm going to start removing the needles!" Because the silver needles sealed the old man's blood vessels, his injured hand stopped bleeding.
"Okay!" Bai Luo bandaged the old man's wound, and then Sui Yi quickly withdrew the needles. She was so fast that she could barely stand afterward; this exhausting task was indeed difficult. Moreover, this body wasn't her former one; it had only been fused with her for less than a month.
"Hey!" Bai Luo quickly helped Sui Yi up and let her sit on the stool for a while.
"Go open the door, that's fine!"
"Aren't you going to rest for a few more minutes?"
"I'm fine."
Bai Luo glanced at her, then turned and opened the locked door. The atmosphere outside was silent and oppressive; as soon as the door opened, people quickly got up and ran over.
"How is it?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Hmm!" But keep your voice down. After saying that, he turned aside to let the others in. Uncle Qin was the first to walk to the bedside and look at the old man. Lin Xiao, on the other hand, saw Sui Yi sitting in a chair with her eyes closed. He quickly walked over.
"What's wrong with her? Her face is so pale," Qin Xiao asked worriedly.
"We've put in a lot of effort to treat the old man, but there's no danger," Bai Luo replied.
Lin Xiao picked up Sui Yi and went outside. "Doctor, doctor, come and take a look at the patient." He carried Sui Yi to the next ward and called the doctor.
"The patient had used up a lot of energy and was so tired that she fell asleep!" the doctor said after examining Suiyi.
"Go and get her an IV drip to replenish her energy, and put it on her."
"OK!"
After the doctor left, looking at Sui Yi's pale face, Lin Xiao held her hand, his eyes filled with guilt. "I'm sorry." He then lowered his head and kissed Sui Yi's forehead.
"Master, let me take care of things here. I'm a doctor, and I'm better at taking care of patients than you are. You should go and check on the old man." Also, I suggest that the old man be discharged and allowed to recuperate at home. Otherwise, there will be trouble when he wakes up," Bai Luo reminded him.
"Okay! I know." Although she didn't know how Suiyi had saved the old man from the brink of death, judging from her appearance, she knew the price she paid was quite high. And if people knew that she was the one who saved the old man, many people would bother her.
That very day, Lin Xiao had Uncle Qin take the old man home, while he stayed at the hospital to take care of Sui Yi. However, Sui Yi slept for a whole month. This terrified Lin Xiao, and his temper worsened. The old man had already woken up a week after being discharged, but his body was severely depleted and he needed to recover slowly. Otherwise, he would have come to the hospital to see Sui Yi!
Now, Lin Xiao is throwing a tantrum again in the hospital.
"Today is already 28 days, why hasn't he woken up yet? Are you doctors all useless?"
"Mr. Qin, we've already checked her over. Miss Tao is fine. The energy she lost has been replenished. As for why she didn't wake up, we don't know either." To be honest, the doctors had bitter expressions as they faced Qin Xiao, who was prone to outbursts of anger every day. They genuinely didn't know.
"I don't know, I don't know. Are your medical licenses fake? Where's Bai Luo? Call him over here."
"Yes, yes, go and call Dr. Bai quickly." The older doctor told the younger doctor to go, but in his heart he was complaining, "Damn, even a miracle doctor as skilled as Bai Luo can't do anything, so he takes his anger out on us small fry. Rich people are really something." But he didn't dare to delay.
"Dr. Bai, Dr. Bai, President Lin is looking for you!" Upon finding Bai Luo in the lounge, he called out to him.
"Has Miss Tao woken up?"
"No, that's why I came to find you, and that person got angry again."
"You've really gone to a lot of trouble." Bai Luo pondered for a moment, patted his shoulder, and then went to the ward.
