Shen Heping patted Su Tong on the shoulder: "Don't overthink it! It's good to go and check on him to put your mind at ease, but Su Tie is such a big young man, he should be fine. It's just that the letter is slow to arrive; sometimes it can take a month or two."
Su Tong nodded.
A letter might be accidentally lost or buried; it's impossible for all letters to be lost or buried.
The woman's words on the phone...
Seeing that Su Ruyi was calm and He Ping was trying to comfort her, she felt it wouldn't be right to keep her back to him, so she turned around.
Shen Heping immediately walked up to her, smiling, "Here! I specially asked for this for you!"
Su Ruyi looked at what he handed her; it was a soft sleeper ticket with two berths.
"Take it!"
Seeing Su Ruyi's gaze linger on his still-bandaged hand, he smiled. "Ruyi, don't worry, my hand is fine! I won't hold it against you—I have a younger sister, and she's much more willful than you… Anyway, you can stay in this soft sleeper compartment with your brother, and Changzi and I will be next door. If you need anything, just knock on the wall! We can look out for each other on the journey!"
Su Tong accepted the sleeper ticket: "Thanks, Heping."
Su Ruyi finally said thank you.
There have been batches of trains going to the countryside these past few days, and the platforms are packed with people.
Instead of squeezing in with the crowd, the group, led by Shen Heping, headed towards the soft sleeper compartment at the very front of the train.
The private room was spacious and had a great ambiance.
The light blue bedding and curtains looked very clean, and the words "Haicheng Railway" were printed in large red letters on them.
There is a small table between the two bunks.
The two put their luggage on their bunks and settled in.
Aside from helping with the luggage at the beginning and bringing hot water once more, Shen Heping and Ji Xuchang didn't bother them again.
The train started moving, and everyone in the carriages and on the platform was crying.
Su Ruyi looked at Su Tong's increasingly pale face and asked, "Fourth Brother, are you feeling unwell today?"
Su Tong nodded: "I feel a bit of chest tightness."
Chest tightness!!!
Su Ruyi became nervous.
Each time Su Tong fell ill, the first symptom that appeared was chest tightness.
She looked at Su Tong's face; not only was his complexion pale, but even his lips were ashen, and there was a faint bluish tinge under his eyes.
She blurted out in surprise, "Why didn't you sleep a wink last night?"
Su Tong looked at her with a puzzled expression: "How...how did you know I didn't sleep all night?"
Su Ruyi panicked.
She was naturally judging by his complexion.
After so many days of learning in the space, Su Ruyi felt that her medical skills were improving by leaps and bounds.
Su Tong's illness is most aggravated by staying up late.
He stayed up all night and got up early to catch the train, which is practically suicidal for a heart patient.
She asked urgently, "Fourth Brother, how are you feeling right now? Tell me quickly!"
With three fingers together on one side, along with the thumb, I gripped his wrist.
In just a short while, she watched as Su Tong's face grew paler and paler.
"I'm a little... out of breath..."
After saying this, Su Tong tilted his head and fell backward.
Su Ruyi quickly followed his movements, laid him flat on the bed, and removed the pillow.
"It's angina! An acute heart attack!" Su Ruyi's head buzzed.
Before she could even react, the needle kit that had been in the acupuncture treatment room in her hand appeared.
Upon seeing this, she immediately calmed her mind and took out the gold needle.
The first acupuncture point is Neiguan (PC6).
The second injection was at Quze.
The third injection, Shaohai.
After three needles were inserted, Su Tong did not wake up as Su Ruyi had expected. Instead, he fell into a deep coma with steady breathing.
My heartbeat, however, has returned to normal.
“This…” Su Ruyi collapsed to the ground.
Su Tong's illness, judging from his pulse, clearly stemmed from a prolonged delay in treatment coupled with a sudden attack of internal heat, which led to his severe condition.
Her acupuncture treatment only stabilized the condition; it did not cure the underlying cause.
However, she is not entirely confident that she can prescribe a cure.
Because... she hadn't yet learned about the Heart Meridian from the books in her study.
study……
The image of the treasure food box in the main hall suddenly flashed through her mind.
Su Ruyi walked to the door of the private room, locked it from the inside, then grabbed Su Tong's hand and pulled hard.
Su Tong was pulled into the space by her.
However, he remains unconscious.
Su Ruyi placed him on the bed in her boudoir and removed the pillow.
Then he ran to the hall and brought in the bowl of marrow-cleansing soup.
He held Su Tong's head and helped him clear his throat.
His mouth was slightly open.
Su Ruyi patiently poured the entire bowl of marrow-cleansing soup into his mouth, and then helped him swallow it down his throat.
After Su Tong finished the whole bowl of the Marrow Cleansing Soup, Su Ruyi heard a series of intestinal rumbling sounds coming from his stomach almost instantly.
However, his face visibly regained its color.
She quickly pulled him out of the space.
As soon as his head was laid flat on the bunk, Su Tong woke up.
He completely forgot about his heart discomfort. At that moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if it would burst forth at any moment.
He immediately bent over, not caring about anything else, and shouted, "Ruyi, quickly give me some toilet paper! I have an upset stomach!"
Su Ruyi handed over a roll of pink toilet paper, which Su Tong grabbed and jumped up.
He hunched over and rushed towards the train's toilet as if fleeing.
Su Ruyi stood behind, staring in disbelief at Su Tong's agile back.
He even jumped over a person who was squatting on the ground looking for something.
He... he's healed?!
Su Ruyi's legs went weak, and she turned around and sat back down on her bunk, a smile gradually appearing on her face.
Half an hour later, Su Tong finally dragged his numb legs back from the toilet.
He gave Su Ruyi a weak smile: "Were you worried? I'm fine now."
Su Ruyi carefully examined the collar of his shirt, and sure enough, the inner edge of the light blue shirt that touched his neck had turned yellowish-green.
Fourth Brother has successfully undergone marrow cleansing!
She quickly asked, "Fourth Brother, are you still experiencing chest tightness?"
Su Tong stretched his arms a few times and felt for a moment: "If you hadn't mentioned the chest tightness, I would have forgotten about it—I don't feel chest tightness at all anymore, and my breathing is very smooth! It's just that my legs are a little numb after squatting for a long time! Don't worry, Ruyi, your fourth brother isn't that fragile!"
Su Ruyi quickly turned her back, because her eyes were already filled with tears.
If I had known this would happen, I should have done it sooner...
But in an instant, the string of kinship in her mind tightened—no, if her fourth brother hadn't fainted by some twist of fate, she would never have brought him into the space.
Because she had already made up her mind not to tell anyone about the matter of space in this world.
This was actually Fourth Brother's own good fortune.
Su Tong, standing behind her, took out a towel and wiped the sweat from his face and neck.
When he saw that his snow-white towel was stained with a layer of yellowish-brown grease, he almost vomited from the smell.
