Qin Shu ignored Tian Kai's screams and howled, and steadily inserted the golden needle in her hand into Tian Kai's acupuncture point.
“Wuwuwu…”
"It hurts! I need to find my mom!"
Tian Kai, a grown man, actually cried because of the pain.
He felt like his soul had left his body and he was in a half-dead state.
Qin Shu was originally upset by Tian Kai's shrill shouting, but when she heard him, a motherless child, calling for his mother, she couldn't help but feel a surge of maternal love.
She moved her eyes forward and saw that Tian Kai's thin face with slightly high cheekbones was covered with sweat.
He soothed her softly, "Just bear with it. Although acupuncture hurts, it will work quickly."
Tian Kai asked aggrievedly: "How long will it take?"
"About a few minutes."
After Qin Shu finished speaking, the golden needle in her hand pierced into the flesh accurately.
“Ouch!”
There was another sound of ghosts howling!
Tian Kai couldn't help himself and choked up, "It hurts so much! It's not as painful as giving birth. How much more painful must it be for a woman to give birth?"
Qin Shu was doing two things at once. While doing acupuncture, she patiently replied:
"Pain is classified into 10 levels, and the pain of childbirth for women is ranked as the highest level."
Tian Kai blinked away the tears in his eyes, bit his lip tightly and stopped talking.
But his screams continued, but they were obviously much more restrained.
After acupuncture, Tian Kai completely fainted.
He was carried out of the Xie family by the Jiang family's disciples, and they also took away the prescription written by Qin Shu herself.
Qin Shu came out after washing her hands and smelled a faint scent of medicine in the air in the living room. She saw Mrs. Xie sitting on the sofa, opening the gift boxes from the Qi and Jiang families.
Madam Xie waved to Qin Shu: "Ah Shu, come and take a look. What kind of medicinal herbs are these? I have never seen them before."
Qin Shu walked forward and saw the medicinal herbs in the gift box nearest to her. Her clear and beautiful eyes widened slightly.
She walked forward in disbelief and knelt on her knees in front of the high-end gift box.
"This...is this Ambergris?!"
Mrs. Xie looked at her excitedly and asked in surprise, "What is Ambergris?"
“Ambergris is an extinct medicinal herb. According to legend, it is a precious herb that grew out of the saliva of an ancient dragon that dripped onto the ground and underwent geological mutation.
Because of its rarity and unique medicinal effects, it was regarded as a magical herb in ancient times. It was a precious medicinal herb that the royal family and nobles searched for their entire lives but could never find! "
Qin Shu stretched out her trembling hands and sketched the roots, stems, branches and leaves of the ambergris in the air.
This is an old, withered, weed-like ambergris.
The smell of medicine hits me in the face, mixed with a hint of rot.
Despite this, Qin Shu was still very excited.
Madam Xie glanced at the wooden gift box and said with a raised eyebrow, "It seems that the Qi family is very sincere. They can even find extinct medicinal herbs."
She pointed at the gift box sent by the Jiang family and said, "I don't know if these two families have discussed it in advance, but they sent some very strange medicinal herbs. I have never seen this before. Does Ah Shu recognize it?"
Qin Shu raised her eyes and glanced, her breathing stagnated, and her eyes widened in shock.
"Blood Spirit Grass!"
In the high-end brocade box lies a four-leaf clover that looks like it was fed with blood.
Qin Shu said with difficulty: "This is a herb that delays aging. It promotes the metabolism of human cells and keeps the cells in the body young. It is also the main ingredient in my Qin family's longevity secret technique, which has been replaced by other herbs."
She was really stimulated today!
Two long-extinct herbs are now displayed right in front of you!
Mrs. Xie glanced at the precious medicinal herbs on the table, and the smile on her face disappeared. She wondered if there was any hidden meaning behind the actions of the Qi and Jiang families.
Qin Shu's mind and eyes were filled with ambergris and blood spirit grass, and she didn't notice the thoughtful look in her mother-in-law's eyes.
Mrs. Xie made a phone call, and her serious tone brought Qin Shu back from her excitement.
"Old Xie, what do you think the Qi family and the Jiang family mean by this?"
Xie's father's joyful laughter could be heard from the speaker of the phone: "They want to please our daughter-in-law and ask Ah Shu for two places. The resurrection technique only happens three times a year, who wouldn't want it?"
Madam Xie suddenly realized and complained, "So they are waiting here. They want two places from Ah Shu just for two broken herbs. They are too stingy!"
Father Xie comforted him, "That's not the case. The medicinal materials are just a stepping stone. After all, Ah Shu has never formally come into contact with the Jiang and Qi families."
Mrs. Xie: "They are really calculating. The beads of their plan are flying in our faces."
Father Xie: "As long as Ah Shu nods, it's enough. Everything depends on Ah Shu's opinion. We won't get involved."
Madam Xie: "Don't even think about helping your older brothers. If you want a spot, not only does Ah Shu have to agree, but Ah Shu also has to get something in return. We don't lack gold, silver, or money, so don't let them throw those junks into our house to take up space."
Father Xie: "I know, I will follow Madam's orders..."
Qin Shu listened to the conversation between her parents-in-law, suppressed her excitement, and silently closed the medicine box.
These two medicinal herbs will be of great use in her hands.
It’s not impossible to give two places.
Mrs. Xie hung up the phone and looked back, Qin Shu had already gone upstairs with the herbs.
After that, Xie Lanzhi didn't go home, and Qin Shu also stayed at home every day to refine ambergris and blood spirit grass.
For seven days in a row, she hardly stayed downstairs for a minute except going downstairs to eat.
Sometimes I am so busy that I forget the time, and it is always Aunt Hua who knocks on the door to remind me or brings me the food.
Half a month later.
Qin Shu was lying on the sofa, holding two transparent glass medicine bottles in her hands, looking happily at the sunlight.
The potion in one bottle was as beautiful and enchanting as blood, while the potion in the other bottle looked like muddy cement soup.
Thanks to Qin Shu's efforts, every root of the ambergris and blood grass was not wasted, and all the essence was extracted by her.
Mrs. Xie came forward with a plate of snacks: "Ah Shu, should you go to the hospital?"
Qin Shu blinked her beautiful eyes in surprise and tilted her head to look at her mother-in-law.
"There is still more than half a month until the due date."
Mrs. Xie stared at her round pregnant belly and said worriedly, "But your belly is too big."
Her belly was even bigger than when Qin Shu was pregnant with her first child, and it looked quite scary.
Qin Shu picked up a piece of dessert from the plate and ate it with enjoyment.
"I was a bit greedy during this pregnancy and my belly got bigger because of the food I ate."
"Are you really alright?"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine!"
Qin Shu said this, and after finishing her snack, she took the time to check her own pulse.
Mrs. Xie didn't notice her little action. She was peeling the fruit with a fruit knife and said in a gentle voice:
"Yunzhen is not like Beijing, and I don't have the conditions to give birth at home. I asked Lv Min to arrange the best hospital ward.
By the way, people say that doctors don’t treat themselves. It was very hard for you to give birth to a child. I asked Yanhusuo to come over if he has nothing to do in the next two days..."
"ah--!"
