"There's still poison in her body."
Xin Jifeng pulled Brother Qian away and said, "Don't delay Director Su's acupuncture. We have other things to do later. We are in a hurry."
At this moment, Brother Qian didn't dare to neglect anyone anymore.
This group of people had extraordinary temperament and were all very good-looking. He vaguely felt that he couldn't afford to offend them and could only stay aside.
Su Yao was already sitting cross-legged beside the coffin, laying Old Mrs. Qian flat on a bamboo mat.
Qingcheng and Bai Ze blocked the surging crowd, while Xin Jifeng stood silently on the periphery, his eyes like an eagle, ready to guard against the villagers' sudden attack at any time.
She opened the needle bag she carried with her, and ten golden needles floated in her palm, emitting a warm luster.
With calm eyes and slight fingertips movements, the first needle landed accurately on the "Shenting" acupoint, followed by the "Yintang", "Tanzhong", "Zhongwan", "Qihai"...
The needle entered the skin, but no blood was seen. Instead, Mrs. Qian's complexion gradually changed from blue-gray to purple-red, and then slowly turned a little rosy.
"I'm sweating!" Miaomiao screamed.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the old lady's forehead, neck, and limb joints began to ooze out fine beads of sweat. At first, it was clear water, but then it turned yellow-brown and then ink-black...
With a strong stench.
"That's not ordinary sweat." Bai Ze explained to the villagers: "It's poison."
Su Yao said: "It is a chronic toxin that accumulates in the body over the years, causing organ failure and pseudo-death and fainting."
"Poison?" Brother Qian was stunned: "How is that possible? I'm the one who takes care of everything my mother eats!"
The woman pulled out a silver needle and gently poked the old lady's tongue. Blood gushed out, as black as ink.
She then lit a small copper furnace, put in special medicinal powder, and fumigated the old lady's body.
The toxins continued to be discharged through the pores, and the old lady suddenly coughed violently: "Cough cough cough cough!"
A large pool of black blood gushed out, staining the white cloth with ink.
The onlookers screamed in surprise, some stepped back in fear, and some covered their mouths and vomited.
"This, this is too scary..."
"Did she really bring a dying person back to life?"
The old lady opened her eyes. Although she was weak, she was still conscious. “Are you a fairy?”
Su Yao didn't respond, but looked up at Brother Qian and Father Qian: "Have you ever thought about why there are chronic toxins in her body? Who gave her something she shouldn't eat?"
Brother Qian's face turned pale, and he murmured, "I watch everything she eats...but...ever since my wife came, she often has diarrhea..."
Father Qian was also shocked and said in a lost voice: "Could it be... that woman?"
Su Yao said calmly, "This kind of poison doesn't cause illness once or twice, but accumulates over time through the incorporation of minute ingredients into daily seasonings, medicinal foods, and beverages. You'd better check who in the family is responsible for the old lady's three meals a day."
The crowd exploded.
"Isn't this too vicious?"
"Or her daughter-in-law? That person is truly as black as ink!"
Su Yao pulled out the last golden needle. Old Mrs. Qian's heartbeat and pulse had recovered, but she was extremely weak.
She stood up, wiped the blood from her hands, and spoke in a calm tone.
"I saved his life. If there is any vengeance, it's your responsibility to investigate it yourself."
Everyone was silent and dared not speak any more.
The sun slanted down from the gaps in the dark clouds, and Su Yao's white clothes seemed to be stained with golden light, just like a fairy doctor.
Brother Qian's heart trembled, and acting on his intuition, he suddenly knelt down and said, "Director Su! Can you come to my house? I want to investigate the poisoning incident thoroughly... To be honest, I'm afraid of making a wrong judgment due to my emotions... I don't want to wrongly accuse anyone!"
