Two hideous-looking little ghosts suddenly appeared in front of Ah Fei's bed.
The little ghost looked at Ah Fei, sticking out his long red tongue and talking in a hoarse voice.
"Is he dying? Is it any use for us to guard him? Can he still possess him?"
"Possession is definitely not going to work. Is this scapegoat stupid? He doesn't even ask how others use the money when he lends it. He didn't even know that someone had borrowed it. I've really been following him for nothing for so long."
"At worst, I can just eat some soul to replenish myself before I die!" As she spoke, she scraped her big red tongue across Ah Fei's chest, a look of enjoyment on her face. "A healthy male soul is so fragrant, slurp!"
Ajie's legs went weak and he knelt on one knee on the ground, covering his mouth with his hands.
He had been through many storms with the Third Master, but this was the first time he had seen such a situation. This was much more terrifying than a hail of bullets!
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. There are a lot of these things in the hospital here. Don't be fooled by their ugly appearance. They are not very lethal. They just look scary."
Ajie still didn't even dare to raise his head.
"You are so timid..." Qiao Ruoxi shook her head and waved her hand to drive the two little ghosts away.
"They're gone, get up." Qiao Ruoxi said calmly.
After a long period of mental preparation, Ajie finally opened his eyes again. Sure enough, the little ghost had disappeared, and only A Fei was left lying on the hospital bed.
At this moment, he finally saw clearly that Ah Fei's whole body was covered with a layer of black air. The black air was like the veins of a tree leaf, eroding Ah Fei's heart bit by bit.
"This...how could this happen?" Ajie choked in his throat.
"You can think of it as a countdown to death. When the meridian reaches the heart, Ah Fei will die. The middle finger is connected to the heart. When the line of the middle finger reaches the fingertip, the countdown ends." Qiao Ruoxi turned over Ah Fei's hand and spoke lightly.
Ajie's eyes instantly turned red. "Madam, is there no other way? Ah Fei and I grew up together. I really can't bear to see him gone like this. Is it possible that the luck he borrowed from us will never be returned?"
Qiao Ruoxi calculated with her fingers: "Of course there is a way. If the other party is willing to pay back the money, this luck can also be returned, and everything will be back on track."
"But you don't have much time left. I'll use acupuncture to keep his heart functioning. It will last for five days at most. On the third day, he'll have a brief resurgence. On the fourth day, his condition will deteriorate rapidly. On the fifth day, he'll be on the verge of death. On the sixth day, he'll be dead."
When Ajie heard this, hope instantly shone in his eyes. "Madam, please hold Ah Fei's heart for now. I'll talk to my aunt about repaying the money. Ah Fei is my aunt's only son. She definitely won't watch Ah Fei get into trouble!"
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "She might not believe it until the last moment. I've already told you the method, and there's nothing else I can do."
After saying that, Qiao Ruoxi took out the needle bag and gave Ah Fei an injection.
Outside the intensive care unit, the old woman was jumping up and down excitedly, grabbing the doctor's arm and saying, "Can't you see? She's abusing my son and giving him an injection. Go in and stop her!"
The doctor glanced at Master Pei and consoled the old woman, "That's Master Pei's wife, and that technique is acupuncture, there's nothing wrong with it. Besides, she has no reason to harm your son, so don't get excited."
The old woman glared at the doctor fiercely, "That's my son lying in there, how can I not be excited? Are you also afraid of offending the Third Master?"
The doctor was getting a little impatient and gave a teasing smile, "Aren't you afraid of offending me? Go tell Third Master, right? But I have to remind you that the cost of a day in the intensive care unit is fifty thousand, not including medication. All of this is being paid by Third Master now. You should be aware of the consequences if you offend Third Master, right?"
The old woman choked. If she had to pay for this, her family savings would be gone in a few days, so she shut up awkwardly.
Seeing Qiao Ruoxi coming out of the intensive care unit, the old woman hesitated and didn't dare to go forward. She could only watch from afar. Then she heard Qiao Ruoxi and the doctor say, "Send someone in to take a look."
Is this a broken needle?
The old woman gritted her teeth and wanted to rush up to argue with Qiao Ruoxi several times, but when she saw Mr. Pei San holding Qiao Ruoxi's hand tightly and asking her if she was tired, she backed off and continued to guard the glass window.
As soon as the doctor came out, the old woman went to meet him and asked with red eyes: "How is my son? Is his condition getting worse?"
Then she sat down on the ground and wailed, "Son, your life is so miserable... It's all because of my incompetence. I have to watch you become like this. If you die, I won't live either!"
The chief physician was speechless and interrupted the old woman's crying irritably: "How can you be like this as a mother? Can't you hope for something better? Your son is out of danger, but he still needs observation. Why don't you thank Mrs. Pei quickly?"
The old woman was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Really? My son is out of danger? I told you, my son is blessed with a long life, he will be fine. Oh, may the Zhou and Wu families bless you!"
The doctor looked at the old woman and shook his head, then walked over to Qiao Ruoxi and humbly asked for advice.
"Mrs. Pei, the patient's vital signs were already very weak, but after your acupuncture, they returned to normal. How did you do that?"
Just as Qiao Ruoxi was about to speak, Pei Yaozhou interrupted her: "Don't you see that Mrs. Pei is very tired now? You have to ask Ruoxi for everything. What's the point of me supporting you?"
The chief physician scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Pei. I was too anxious. Thank you for your hard work!"
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "I just used acupuncture to keep Ah Fei's heart alive, temporarily rescuing him from danger. As for the rest, I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate. You still need to closely monitor the patient's condition, especially after five days."
