Chapter 402: Increased Stimulation
Gu Xixi opened the medicine box and unfolded a roll of silver needles in front of Gu Tiezhu.
She simply took out the thickest and longest one and held it up to her eyes.
"Stimulation therapy, that's the only thing we can do."
Her tone was gentle, but she suddenly swung the needle and stabbed it straight towards Gu Tiezhu's face!
Gu Tiezhu screamed and closed his eyes.
Gu Xixi's hand stopped half an inch in front of his eyelids, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just testing your reaction."
"When in danger, you can protect yourself so quickly."
She said meaningfully, "Master, maybe he is not hopeless, what do you think?"
Although the old doctor cannot see, his other senses are very sharp.
He raised his hand and pressed Gu Tiezhu's neck, his mind becoming clear as a mirror.
It is difficult for crazy and stupid people to distinguish what is dangerous.
Gu Tiezhu screamed immediately and his pulse accelerated noticeably.
The old doctor said calmly, "You have been learning acupuncture recently, and you can already recognize several common xue positions."
"You can give him the acupuncture. Remember to make sure each needle goes three inches into the acupoint."
"Just put your hands on the needle and I will listen to the sound and tell you where to insert the needle."
"The first one is Heguxue."
"Okay!" Gu Xixi agreed enthusiastically and held the needle close to the bed.
The blind master gave blind instructions, while the novice apprentice gave fierce acupuncture.
This combination would make any patient terrified.
Gu Tiezhu was no exception.
Just as the thick and long silver needle was getting closer and closer, about to pierce his hand.
He suddenly leapt to his feet.
Like a big stranded fish, his whole body from head to toe was exerting force, causing the bed to creak.
Gu Xixi pulled the old doctor back a few steps and watched Gu Tiezhu fall off the bed and roll to the ground.
This was expected.
Gu Tiezhu just felt weak, not completely unable to move.
He was lying on the ground, his messy hair covering his face, making it impossible to tell his expression.
After waiting for a while, Gu Tiezhu suddenly let out a sharp roar and pounded the ground with his hands.
It's not so much that he was wailing in pain from the fall.
It's more like an outburst of resentment.
Gu Xixi watched coldly until Gu Laosan and his wife ran in.
"What happened? Why did my son fall down?"
"Tiezhu, Zhuzi, tell me where it hurts, don't hurt yourself!"
Liu rushed to Gu Tiezhu with heartache, said a few words of concern but got no response, then glared at Gu Xixi fiercely.
"What a great old doctor, what a kind-hearted person!"
"Don't think that just because he won't complain now, you can let you bully him!"
"I will tell everyone the true colors of you and your disciple! Black-hearted quacks! I wonder who will dare to come to your house for treatment in the future!"
Gu Xixi's face was slightly cold, and there was no warmth in her eyes.
She always does things on her own and takes responsibility for them.
Since I have decided to come here today, I am not afraid of making enemies with others.
But Liu should never have done that and slandered the old doctor.
At this time, Gu Laosan noticed that the atmosphere was not right and wanted to make amends from the side.
"Fuck, that's too much!"
As he spoke, he winked at Liu.
"When Zhuzi gets sick, neither of us can hold him down. Maybe he just rolled down by himself."
Gu Laosan turned to Gu Xixi and said, "But in this situation, Zhuzi can't say anything."
"What's going on? Boss Gu should give us an explanation."
Gu Xixi ignored Gu Laosan.
She looked at Liu coldly, her eyes full of pressure.
"You want to throw dirty water on my master without any evidence."
"You can try to do this and see if we are afraid of you."
"But you have to consider whether you can bear the consequences."
Liu felt inexplicably flustered and she didn't even dare to look Gu Xixi in the eye.
She looked away but still said stubbornly, "What are the consequences? I eat more salt than you eat rice!"
"If I were frightened by a few words from you, I would have lived in vain!"
Gu Xixi smiled, and she moved closer to Liu with a chilling smile.
"Do you know how many people are lining up to see my master now?"
"In order to cure their illness, people are sometimes willing to pay any price, even..."
"Life for life."
No matter how vicious and cruel Liu was, she was ultimately ignorant.
She shrank back, her arrogance obviously lowered, "Everyone said you were so great when you went to the capital."
"In my opinion, you are just relying on others for your appearance!"
Gu Xixi leaned over and looked at Liu as if she was looking at a dying locust.
"I owe you a favor, so I use my connections to deal with you? You don't deserve it."
"I just said that to tell you not to go after my master."
"I'm not the only one who has to protect him."
Before he knew it, Gu Tiezhu had stopped yelling.
The house was as quiet as a cemetery.
Gu Laosan came to his senses first, "It seems like it was really a misunderstanding."
"The bitch is so worried about her son that she can't hold back. Old doctor and Boss Gu, please bear with me."
Gu Xixi smiled and asked, "What are you worried about?"
"I never hold back when doing things, but sometimes I might act without restraint if I'm pushed into a corner."
"Now this family is supported by only you two old people."
"If one more person falls, we will really have trouble living like this."
Liu's face was ferocious and Gu Lao San's face was ashen.
Threat! They are too lazy to cover it up!
Gu Xixi fixed her eyes on Gu Tiezhu, hinting at something.
"If I were you, I would not only be strict with myself, but also keep a close eye on the person in the family who is most likely to cause trouble."
"Lest he commit suicide again and bring trouble to the whole family."
After Gu Xixi finished speaking, she didn't look at the family for any reaction and walked out holding the old doctor's arm.
Gu Laosan looked back at his son who was still lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and chased after him.
"Old Miracle Doctor! Old Miracle Doctor, please stay!"
"It's all my wife's fault. Please don't bear grudges."
"My family's Tiezhu's illness still needs to be treated."
The old doctor said sternly, "The patient was violent towards the doctor. He was unable to cooperate with the acupuncture treatment."
"I can't cure this man, please ask someone else for help."
The two men walked past Gu Laosan and left the yard without looking back.
Gu Laosan stared at the door in a daze.
He staggered weakly, and when he turned back, his expression suddenly became gloomy.
Soon, there were sounds of things being smashed in the house, as well as Gu Laosan's cursing.
He scolded his wife for being a jinx who always brings trouble to the family, his son for being a good-for-nothing who drags down the family, his daughter for marrying far away for being an ungrateful person, Gu Xixi for being vicious, the old doctor for being fake, and the village for being unfair to him...
His bad temper had not changed.
I just had to swallow my anger.
Gu Xixi and the old doctor had already walked a long way.
The old doctor teased, "I thought that once you found out that he was pretending, you would just give him medicine and get rid of him once and for all."
Gu Xixi chuckled and acted coquettishly, "Master, why do you say that as if I kill people without blinking an eye?"
After a while, the old doctor asked, "Why did you let him go today?"
"Aren't you afraid that you might end up hurting the snake instead of killing it?"
Gu Xixi said, "We still don't know why he is pretending to be crazy. As long as there is doubt, there is no crime. I don't want to wrongly accuse him."
"If he has ill intentions towards me, after today's provocation, he will surely take action soon."
