After half a month of treatment, Chief Fu's headache was completely cured.
Before it got too cold, Chief Fu prepared to return to Suzhou.
Early that morning, Lin Jin brought all sorts of food and drinks to the small courtyard where Chief Fu lived. Chief Fu was deeply moved when he saw that Lin Jin had prepared so much food. He left Lin Jin 5,000 yuan, but Lin Jin refused to accept it no matter what.
Chief Fu said with a stern face, "Don't you acknowledge me as your grandfather?!" Upon hearing this, Lin Jin quickly replied, "You are my grandfather, but I can't take this money! I have money to spend!"
"What's yours is yours! What I gave you was a token of my affection! If you don't accept it, hmph, then don't call me grandpa anymore!" The old man was so angry that he glared and made a move to turn and leave.
Seeing this, Lin Jin knew that if he didn't accept the money, he would really upset his grandfather. He sighed helplessly and quickly reached out to take the stack of banknotes.
Standing to the side, Chief Fu's face immediately lit up with a radiant smile, as bright as spring flowers, when he saw Lin Jin finally obediently accept the money. His eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. His hearty laughter echoed in the air, seemingly dispelling all gloom and unhappiness.
"From now on, you must take good care of yourself! I believe that with your own abilities, you'll be able to return to the city smoothly soon. Also, you must not slack off in your studies! No matter whether you have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination in the future, as long as you study hard, the knowledge will be your own precious asset!" Although she didn't explicitly mention the possibility of restoring the college entrance examination, the actions of bringing Lin Jin various review materials and patiently guiding his studies were quite obvious.
Chief Fu knew very well that the boy named Lin Jin was very clever and quick-witted. He would surely be able to understand the meaning behind the hints Lin Jin gave him.
Many people came to the gate to see Chief Fu off! Chief Fu looked at the people at the gate and said: Alright, it's getting late, I have to go. He got into the same car as before and left quickly. Lin Jin watched the departing car with a heavy heart!
The team leader watched Chief Fu leave, then remembered the chief's instructions from the previous night: to take good care of Lin Zhiqing, and to mention that he had adopted Lin Zhiqing as his goddaughter! He thought to himself, "Lin Zhiqing is really lucky! To be adopted as a granddaughter by such an important person. But then again, she must be really capable; for such a big shot to come to her for medical treatment and actually recover. I need to pay even closer attention to Lin Zhiqing's affairs from now on!"
The people at the entrance quickly dispersed, and Lin Jin returned to her courtyard. The weather was getting colder and colder, so Lin Jin decided not to go to the mountains anymore. She would stay home to study and then go to the city once a week to buy vegetables and fruits.
Yes, Lin Jin later planted many fruit trees in the space. Anyway, the space was so big, vegetables weren't worth much, but fruit was. There was no other way, there were just too few fruits that could be grown here. These fruit tree seedlings were obtained from Boss Xing, they were very precious and cost a lot of money! But it was all worth it. Fruit doesn't grow as fast as vegetables, but it can still be harvested once a week.
Lin Jin's mastery of the Soul-Returning Needles is now quite proficient, but he's still far from the level described in the medical book. According to the book, if one could cultivate this needling technique to its pinnacle, one could unleash a full sixteen fine silver needles at once. However, Lin Jin can currently only control a maximum of four needles simultaneously.
Nevertheless, her acupuncture technique was exceptionally steady, each needle landing precisely on the designated acupoints without the slightest deviation. Several times, Lin Jin tried to insert another silver needle, but the results were often unsatisfactory. Adding even a small silver needle would greatly affect the distribution of force and accuracy of the entire acupuncture technique, thus rendering the entire effort futile.
After careful consideration, Lin Jin realized the crux of the problem—his internal energy cultivation technique, the Feast Returning Skill, was not yet fully mastered. This internal energy cultivation technique was the foundation for using the Soul Returning Needle; only when the internal energy was sufficiently profound and its flow was sufficiently smooth could the power of the Soul Returning Needle be truly unleashed.
Lin Jin is the kind of person who won't force herself to achieve her expectations even if she tries her best.
