The woman looked up at Jiang Qiao and spoke crisply, "Comrade, don't worry. Once I'm better, I don't want to be so strong anymore. Only those who have this illness know how serious it is. If it weren't for the need to prevent people from looking down on our family, I, a young woman, wouldn't joke around with my own health."
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded. "It's best if you can think positively. Even if you don't cherish your own health, you should still cherish the money you'll have to spend on treatment."
"Alright, come here and lie down on the kang (heated brick bed). I'll give you acupuncture. I'll do it while I'm here, and after I leave, I'll have my Grandpa Qiao do it for you. Don't feel embarrassed; your sister-in-law is here. Although I, Grandpa Qiao, am old, I have no problem giving acupuncture. I'll prepare your medicine in a little while."
Giving this woman acupuncture took Jiang Qiao more than an hour; she had too many ailments all over her body.
Wang Datou has come over, so she needs to take a good look at her. It's too early to tell if she's suffering now, but later, when she has children and gets older, all sorts of illnesses will come her way. It's better to get her treated properly sooner rather than later.
Even without asking, Wang Datou could tell from the time that Jiang Qiao had put in a lot of effort. Don't underestimate acupuncture. Other doctors simply insert the needle and remove it at the appointed time. But Jiang Qiao is different. It's not just about inserting the needle. His hand never leaves the needle. That's why people say Jiang Qiao's acupuncture skills are so high.
After seeing the two people off, Jiang Qiao came over. Everyone in the family had already finished eating, except for Jiang Qiao, who hadn't finished yet.
Wen Jingwan heated up the food for her daughter and brought it up. While eating, Jiang Qiao asked Wang Datou about the woman's situation.
"Is it really that serious?"
Qiao Jie sighed, "This matter, our Qiao'er will take care of her treatment. However, tell your brother-in-law and mother-in-law not to treat other people's children like livestock. She is a woman, not livestock. Even if she were livestock, she would still be a treasure in the team."
"Sigh, what's the point of that girl wanting that guy? Her body is her own responsibility; she'll suffer even more later. When she gets married, you should give her some advice."
Gu Zhengfeng casually inquired about the situation on Zuo Zhankui's side.
"Not bad. With you guys secretly delivering things, the old man is living quite well. I heard that the work group is going to withdraw, which will make it easier for you to keep an eye on people in the future."
Jiang Qiao swallowed the food in her mouth. "Grandpa Qiao, when I go to the city later, you'll be in charge of this girl. I'll teach you how to give acupuncture. When the time comes, you can just take the cost price."
Qiao Jie nodded with a smile. Wang Datou also knew that Jiang Qiao was doing this for his sake; Jiang Qiao didn't actually want the money because she had other things to do. After chatting with Jiang Qiao and the others for a few minutes, she hurriedly left.
He had just left when another truck pulled up outside. When Jiang Qiao saw the people getting off, she immediately had a bad feeling.
Hou Diankui shouted from outside, "Jiang Qiao, come out and help! Everyone inside, come out quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhengfeng and the others rushed out, and Jiang Qiao saw Zhou Yu and the Du family carrying someone off the truck.
"Oh my god, what's going on? What happened to Chunming?"
Ning Hao noticed Chunming's condition and quickly went over with his family to help carry Chunming into the house.
When Song Lianfeng saw Jiang Qiao and the others, tears welled up in her eyes. "Qiao'er, Qiao'er, I beg you, please take a look at Chunming. How did he end up like this after just one trip out?"
Wen Jingwan quickly came over and grabbed Song Lianfeng's hand. "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Let Qiao'er go and take a look at Chunming. Don't worry, Qiao'er and Chunming have been friends since childhood. If it can be cured, Qiao'er will definitely do her best."
Jiang Qiao didn't have time to waste with Song Lianfeng. She went straight into the house with Hou Diankui and the others. Except for Zhou Yu and Hou Diankui, no one else was allowed to enter the house.
Jiang Qiao checked Chunming's condition and then looked directly at Hou Diankui, "Master Hou, how could my brother Chunming be poisoned?"
It wasn't just poisoning; Jiang Qiao could even detect an unusual aura emanating from him.
Hou Diankui was also anxious: "Chunming went to help, but who knew he would run into those radical elements who insisted on going down. They don't even know what's going on inside."
"Look, the ancient tomb is fine, nothing strange has happened. It's not just Chunming who's been poisoned; those people can't escape either. We only found out because our work unit notified us. When I rushed over, I could only temporarily remove the evil energy from them. But I don't know anything about poisons, Jiang Qiao, stop arguing, treating the illness is the priority."
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Take off his clothes, I need to insert the needle. Uncle, have my mother and the others boil some water. Oh, and the medicine too. Wait—"
Chunming's poison is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Only Jiang Qiao and the Tianyi Sect have a description of it, so she has some idea of how to treat it.
After a flurry of activity, Zhou Yu grabbed the medicinal herbs Jiang Qiao had prepared and hurried out, while Hou Diankui stood guard over Jiang Qiao.
"No one can come and disturb us. This situation is very serious. Master Hou, if you see me struggling, please lend me some strength. This poison needs to be cleared quickly, otherwise it will affect my health."
Hou Diankui knew Jiang Qiao's current situation. "Okay, I understand. I'll set a trap for you first—"
Hou Diankui got busy, while Jiang Qiao pried open Chunming's mouth and stuffed a pill into it.
People outside were getting anxious, especially Song Lianfeng and her husband. Although Du Chengsong was usually quite strict with the children, he truly loved his youngest son the most.
Chunming is a filial child. He has been sensible since he was a child and has never caused his parents any worry. Especially after he became Hou Diankui's apprentice, his work and food became much easier for them. Who would have thought that he would come back like this after a business trip?
The eldest grandson and the youngest son are the old lady's lifeblood. In the hearts of Du Chengsong and his wife, the youngest son is the apple of their eye.
They've been neighbors for a long time; how could Qiao Jie and the others not know how worried the couple was about Chunming?
“Chunming’s mom, don’t cry. Qiao’er is here. Didn’t the girl say that Chunming’s condition is incurable? No, she didn’t say that our child can be cured.”
"With Qiao'er here, you don't need to worry. Don't you know Qiao'er well?"
Ning Hao chimed in, "Third Aunt, Master Hou is here. He's Chunming's master. You all know what he's capable of. He didn't say anything else, so Chunming will definitely be fine."
That's what they said, but no one present was sure what was going on. What kind of place was Chunming going to? Ordinary people would think it was unlucky, let alone going down there.
In particular, everyone has eyes; they know what Chunming's face looked like when he came over—it was bluish-black. With that color, the poisoning must have been quite severe.
