Seeing that Huo Yusen's eyes were red and seemed to be a little watery, Qiqi felt a little sorry for him and quickly rummaged through her bag.
She found a strawberry-flavored lollipop that the headmaster had given her a long time ago, which she had always been reluctant to eat.
She then unwrapped the candy and handed it to Huo Yusen, saying, "Brother Xiao Jiu, your legs are being eroded by evil energy, so it will hurt a bit if you try to clear them completely. There's nothing I can do about that, so you'll just have to bear with it. But Grandpa Dean said that eating candy will make you feel better. When I used to fall and get hurt, Grandpa Dean would give me candy. Brother Xiao Jiu, you should eat some too, and don't cry after you've finished."
As he spoke, he stuffed the lollipop into Huo Yusen's mouth.
Huo Yusen looked at the slightly melted lollipop in the little girl's hand. He wondered how long she had treasured it and was reluctant to eat it, but now she was giving it to him just to coax him.
Feeling both touched and happy, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and gently rub Qiqi's head despite the pain. "I don't like candy, so Qiqi should eat it."
Qiqi's eyes widened. Candy is so delicious, how can there be anyone who doesn't like candy?
Seeing the little girl's bewildered expression, Old Madam Huo wiped her eyes and couldn't help but smile. "Qiqi, be good. Your little brother Jiu doesn't eat candy. And little brother Jiu is crying because he's happy, not sad."
"Happy?" Qiqi didn't understand. Shouldn't someone who's happy be smiling? Why is she crying?
Moreover, both Xiao Jiu and Grandma Huo had red eyes, clearly looking very sad, so why did they say they were happy?
"Yes, I am happy." Huo Yusen could tell from her expression that the girl didn't understand.
Unfortunately, the little girl is too young to understand particularly complex feelings and emotions.
“My legs were completely numb before. I couldn’t feel anything, whether it was pain, soreness, or numbness. I thought my legs would probably stay like this for the rest of my life, but now, because of you, my legs can feel pain again. An old Chinese medicine doctor who treated me before once said that the return of feeling in my legs means there is still a chance of recovery, which means I will be able to stand up soon. So my grandma and I are very happy.”
I see!
Qiqi suddenly realized, "But didn't I tell you from the beginning that I could help you stand up? Was Brother Jiu still unhappy when he heard that before?"
Huo Yusen: ...
Oh no, a boomerang hit me right between the eyebrows.
My mind raced, trying to come up with a solution. "Of course I'm happy, but I was a little unsure at the time. Now I truly feel that my leg can really get better."
All right.
Ultimately, it just means I don't trust her enough.
It's okay. She's only three years old. Not being trusted is her fate. She understands.
As they were talking, the time for leaving the needles in was up, and Qiqi took all the silver needles out and put them back in the needle box.
The maid brought water for her to wash her hands.
Huo Fei helped Huo Yusen put on his pants, and Grandma Huo took a handkerchief and wiped Qiqi's hands while asking her, "Little Qiqi, is this all right?"
"Thank you, Grandma Huo," Qiqi said obediently, then added, "That's all for today. We'll continue tomorrow. In another week, the evil energy on Little Nine's legs will be completely cleared away, and then he'll be able to stand up!"
A week?!
Madam Huo was stunned.
Although she had heard before that Qiqi could cure Huo Yusen quickly, she never expected it to be so fast.
Realizing what was happening, Madam Huo's voice rose, "Really? Just one week?"
"It'll only take a week to clear away the evil energy!" Compared to Old Madam Huo's shock, Qi Qi was much calmer. "However, Little Ninth Brother's leg meridians have been blocked for quite some time, and his muscles and veins have slightly contracted, so walking might be a bit difficult at first. With some rest and rehabilitation, he'll be back to normal in no time!"
Qiqi shook her head as she spoke, her tone tinged with regret.
If this body weren't so weak, and if the spiritual energy of this era weren't so scarce, it wouldn't have taken so long.
Moreover, many of the spiritual herbs and medicines of this era have become extinct, and even those that still exist are not old enough. Otherwise, she could have refined many pills to regulate muscles and tendons, and Little Ninth Brother wouldn't have had to go through the hardship of rehabilitation.
Qiqi felt regretful, but Old Madam Huo felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky.
"Qiqi, thank you so much!" Old Madam Huo held Qiqi's little hand tightly, wishing she could rip her heart out to show Qiqi just how grateful she was. She took out a stamp from her bag and put it into Qiqi's palm. "Qiqi, take this. In the future, whenever you need the Huo family's help, just take this to any of the Huo Group's companies, and you'll get 100% assistance."
When he saw his grandmother take out the seal, Huo Yusen's pupils widened in disbelief, and his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something.
But before he could even speak, he was glared at by Old Madam Huo.
Huo Yusen paused for a moment, then swallowed his words.
Qiqi looked at the seal in her hand. It was a beautiful piece of blood jade, carved into the shape of a lotus flower.
Below the seal is engraved Madam Huo's name and the Huo Group's logo.
Qiqi didn't understand the meaning of the seal, but she thought it was very beautiful and that the blood jade was of excellent quality and had a lot of spiritual energy, so she accepted it with a smile.
She put the stamp into her bag, then thanked Madam Huo softly, "Thank you, Grandma Huo, I really like this gift."
Madam Ji, however, seemed hesitant and couldn't help but say, "This seal..."
"It's just an ordinary personal seal, don't worry about it," Madam Huo explained, her tone nonchalant. "If you won't accept the gift I prepared as a token of my gratitude, at least accept this seal."
Madam Ji hesitated for a moment, but then she thought that accepting the seal didn't mean she would use it. Compared to the huge amount of actual shares and jewelry as a thank-you gift, this seal didn't seem that important.
After thinking about it this way, Madam Ji said nothing more.
There were originally guest rooms in the house, but Mrs. Huo was worried that it would cause trouble for the Ji family. In addition, she had booked a flight back to Beijing for the next morning and had to catch the flight, so she decided to stay in a hotel.
Upon hearing that Grandma Huo was leaving early the next morning, Qiqi decided to work overtime that night to refine the medicine for Grandma Huo.
She glanced at Grandma Huo's face today and realized that her heart condition was quite serious. She was afraid that medication alone would not be enough and that surgery would be necessary.
No rush, let's take the medicine and get our bodies in good condition first.
Qiqi worked on the medicine until after 2 a.m. After finishing, she handed the medicine to Huo Fei and asked him to take it to Grandma Huo. Then she went to sleep.
