"Do you want me to see him or not? Your father is drowning! Every second you're putting on airs is precious time for his life!" Su Ruyi said coldly. "Do you want your father to live or to die?!"
"You..." Qi Yaqin was clearly frightened by her words and quickly took a few steps back.
Su Ruyi stepped forward, squatted down, turned the old man over, and then stretched out one leg so that the old man's stomach was pressed against her knee.
"We just tried, and we can't get any water out at all!" Qi Yaqin rolled her eyes again.
Su Ruyi ignored her and began to vigorously pat the old man's back—of course, before doing this, she first used her divine sense to store the shrapnel into her spatial storage.
"What are you doing?! Do you even know how to treat illnesses?!" Qi Yaqin yelled again, "You might as well just kill my dad!"
As soon as Qi Yaqin finished speaking, a few sounds were heard from the "big boss's" throat, and then clear water began to gush from his mouth and nose.
Plenty of clean water.
Of course, Su Ruyi controlled the flow of this water with her divine sense. His airway and esophagus were already congested and swollen, and it was impossible to drain the water by simply controlling it backwards.
Su Ruyi held him down for a minute before he stopped gushing water.
After the "big boss" was laid flat again, he remained unconscious, but his breathing returned to normal.
Su Ruyi took out a needle kit from the medicine box and held a silver needle in her hand.
"What kind of dirty needle is that? Was it sterilized?" Qi Yaqin began to question again.
Su Ruyi raised her eyes and glanced at her: "Acupuncture can help him wake up faster, and once he wakes up, he will be completely out of danger. If you have any concerns, you can choose not to do acupuncture and wait for him to wake up naturally."
"How long will it take to wake up naturally?" Qi Yaqin asked.
"Two or three days," Su Ruyi replied.
"Two or three days? Won't we starve to death? Well... go ahead and stab me! But be gentle!" Qi Yaqin gave in.
Su Ruyi moved with lightning speed, inserting more than a dozen silver needles into the old man's acupoints within seconds.
She only treated the acupoints related to the drowning incident; she doesn't plan to treat his other health problems for the time being.
Less than three minutes after the injection was stopped, the "big boss" woke up.
He opened his eyes, coughed up a mouthful of water, and tried to sit up.
"Wait!" Su Ruyi pressed him down and quickly pulled out all the silver needles.
"I'm still alive?!" The "boss" pinched his arm, then laughed, looking at Su Ruyi, "Little girl, it was you who gave me the acupuncture that brought me back to life?!"
"It's Dr. Su! You were unconscious just now, your face was deathly pale! Dr. Su first drained a lot of water from your body, but you still didn't wake up, so he used acupuncture to wake you up!"
Xiao Sun stepped forward. "Old Qi, let me formally introduce you—this is the young miracle doctor our leader specially invited for you! Dr. Su Ruyi!"
After Xiao Sun finished speaking, he looked at Su Ruyi and said, "Dr. Su, this is Qi Yuan, the old man from Beijing. Old man Qi and our leader are old comrades-in-arms!"
Su Ruyi nodded slightly: "Elder Qi."
Qi Yuan looked at Su Ruyi with kind eyes: "What a pretty girl! How old are you?"
"Fifteen," Su Ruyi answered truthfully.
"Fifteen..." Qi Yuan sighed, then turned to Qi Yaqin and said, "If our Tianyue were still here, she would be fifteen too! She would be this big by now!"
"Dad, why are you saying all that nonsense?!" Qi Yaqin rolled her eyes at Qi Yuan and said to Su Ruyi, "Alright, my dad's fine now, you can go now!"
"Yaqin! What kind of attitude is this?!" Qi Yuan was displeased, then turned to Su Ruyi with a smile, "Dr. Su, please don't mind her, my daughter was just frightened. I'll have her apologize to you another day!"
"Dad, what do you know?!" Qi Yaqin said, "I think she's just a wild girl! She slapped your back so hard just now, I was afraid she broke your bones! And she used dirty needles to poke all over your body!"
"Yaqin! Shut up!" Qi Yuan's face turned cold. "What did I say to you in Beijing? It seems you didn't listen to a word I said!"
"Dad! I'm telling the truth!" Qi Yaqin's tone softened. "Dad, please don't be angry!"
"What truth?! I only believe what I see!" Qi Yuan was even angrier. "Yaqin, don't try to teach me your snobbish, obsequious ways!"
"Dad, you're just lucky to have woken up on your own. It really has nothing to do with that little girl! If she hadn't patted you like that and given you those acupuncture needles, you would have woken up soon enough!"
Qi Yaqin remained defiant, "It's not that I look down on people, but look at Doctor Feng, that's a true miracle doctor! A miracle doctor has to practice medicine their whole life, right? This fifteen-year-old girl, even if she was born to treat people, she'd never become a miracle doctor!"
"Smack!"
Qi Yuan could no longer contain his anger. He jumped up and slapped Qi Yaqin across the face. "I told you, I only believe what I saw with my own eyes! What I saw was that my leg cramped up and I sank to the bottom of the lake! I swallowed a bellyful of water! It was Doctor Su who saved me! You, apologize to Doctor Su right now!"
"I don't!"
Qi Yaqin stiffened her neck.
Apologize immediately!
Qi Yuan repeated it again.
"This little girl, you want me to apologize? Even if she did put in a little effort and it was just pure luck, she doesn't deserve my apology!"
Qi Yaqin's attitude remained firm.
The father and daughter glared at each other.
"Elder Qi!"
Su Ruyi didn't want to cause trouble, so she stepped forward and said, "Since you're alright, I'll be going now."
After saying that, she picked up her medicine box and turned to leave.
"well!"
Qi Yuan sighed, "Dr. Su, this old man will personally visit another day to express my gratitude and also to apologize!"
Su Ruyi nodded and left.
Xiao Sun hurriedly followed behind: "Old Qi, please rest well. I also need to go and report to our leader!"
Qi Yaqin, standing behind the two, said smugly, "This wild girl actually knows what's good for her! She wants me to apologize? What a nerve! Does she deserve it?"
"Smack!"
Another crisp slap rang out.
Immediately, Su Ruyi and Xiao Sun both heard Qi Yuan's furious voice: "Qi Yaqin! You get back to Beijing right now!!!"
The two of them quickened their pace without even realizing it.
After the two left, the staff of the retirement home also made a hasty retreat.
Tears welled up in Qi Yaqin's eyes. She got up, grabbed a towel, and wiped Qi Yuan's head.
Qi Yuan snatched the towel and wiped himself, his face still dark: "Yaqin, have you wasted all those years of schooling? You're a teacher, yet your heart is less than that of a fifteen-year-old girl!"
