Pei Yaozhou felt a warm touch on his knees, and his body suddenly stiffened, his eyes dark. "What are you doing?"
Qiao Ruoxi's fingers were nimble, pressing on several acupuncture points on Pei Yaozhou's knees. "My technique is very good. Seeing that you're not feeling well, I'll help you. Actually, I've been wanting to ask you for a while. Do you want to try this to heal your legs..."
The voice stopped abruptly, Qiao Ruoxi put her hand on Pei Yaozhou's calf, the expression on her face changed from shock to disbelief, and finally she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Pei Yaozhou seemed to guess what was in Qiao Ruoxi's mind and brushed her hand away: "No need."
Qiao Ruoxi frowned and said, "Can I ask what happened? It's okay if you don't want to tell me."
When Ren Quan heard this, he dared not breathe loudly. This was a taboo topic in the Pei family. Even Mrs. Pei did not dare to mention it in front of the Third Master.
Sure enough, Pei Yaozhou remained silent.
Ren Quan breathed a sigh of relief. Only when his wife mentioned this issue would the Third Master not get angry. If it were someone else, he would probably have been thrown out of the car.
"This happened when I was five years old..." Pei Yaozhou's voice rang out.
Ren Quan:?!
"I was kidnapped. In order to demand a ransom, the kidnappers broke my leg, took a video and sent it to the Pei family. It was half a year later when the police arrived. When I was sent to the hospital, my leg was already disabled." Pei Yaozhou's cold voice came.
Ren Quan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He must have heard it right, the Third Master actually said it out loud!
More than 20 years later, the Third Master actually brought up the incident that almost destroyed his life in front of his wife.
"I've seen many famous doctors and taken a lot of medicine. I'm tired of it and don't want to be treated anymore. You don't have to bother with it anymore." When Pei Yaozhou looked at Qiao Ruoxi, the frost on his face melted a little.
Qiao Ruoxi clenched her fists, her eyes determined: "Then you shouldn't give up treatment. Since God has given you legs, he will definitely let you stand up again!"
Pei Yaozhou was slightly stunned.
When he was young, people around him often mentioned this incident. After hearing about his tragic experience, they would look at him with sympathy.
They might stammer, not knowing what to say, or comfort him by saying that his family is well-off and that even with a disability he will have enough food and clothing.
Even his mother, while looking for famous doctors for him, secretly wiped away tears at night and told his eldest brother that she didn't know how to tell him that he might never be able to stand up again.
He was fed up with these sympathetic looks, so from the day he took charge of the Pei family at the age of eighteen, he did not allow anyone to mention that incident again.
And Qiao Ruoxi was the only one who did not sympathize with him and firmly told him that he would be able to stand up again in all these years.
"Give me some time. I promise I will cure your leg."
Meeting Qiao Ruoxi's determined gaze, the cage in Pei Yaozhou's heart seemed to be forcibly broken open by something, and a beam of light shone in despite his obstruction.
Pei Yaozhou closed his eyes and sighed: "Okay."
Qiao Ruoxi immediately took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Taoist Wuya, asking him to look for the ancient books in the Taoist temple.
She remembered that her master had once researched a method to reshape the meridians. She originally wanted to learn it, but she missed the opportunity because the Qiao family took her into the palace.
Pei Yaozhou's leg injury was an old one. No one knew what cruel method the kidnappers used to sever all the meridians below the knee of a five-year-old child. This was why she was so shocked just now.
After returning to Riyue Villa, Qiao Ruoxi had a simple meal and then went back to the master bedroom.
Taoist Wu Ya sent him photos of ancient books. Fortunately, all of his master's works were preserved.
Taoist Wuya couldn't understand the words in those works, but Qiao Ruoxi knew them all, so she quickly took out a pen and paper and copied them again, studying them carefully.
There are two ways to reshape the meridians. One is to use one's own internal force to open up the meridians, which is obviously not feasible. In this world, although technology is developing rapidly, people themselves have degenerated a lot.
For example, he couldn't sense spiritual power, nor could he cultivate internal strength. The skills of climbing walls and running on rooftops had been lost for a long time, so this method had to be abandoned, and only another method remained.
The meridians are cleared through drugs, then broken up and reshaped with the help of drugs.
This method has two major difficulties. One is the refining of the medicine, and the other is that shattering the meridians requires enduring extreme pain, which is not something ordinary people can endure.
If you are not mentally strong enough, you may even lose your life if you give up halfway.
Qiao Ruoxi was silent for a long time, and finally decided to go to the study to have a good talk with Pei Yaozhou.
*
In the study, the safe door was open and Pei Yaozhou was writing furiously.
Hearing a knock on the door, Pei Yaozhou froze, immediately closed the diary and put it in the safe, locking it before speaking.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open a crack, and a little head popped out: "Am I disturbing you? Can we chat for a few minutes?"
Pei Yaozhou suppressed the corners of his lips and coughed lightly: "Don't disturb me, come in and sit down."
Qiao Ruoxi pushed the door open and walked in.
This room is usually locked. This is her first time in Pei Yaozhou's study, and she can't help but feel curious.
The study is very large, even larger than the master bedroom. It is filled with books and has a large desk. These things take up a lot of space, so the bed is not as big as the master bedroom.
There were no extra chairs, so Qiao Ruoxi had to sit beside Pei Yaozhou's bed.
Qiao Ruoxi was observing the study, while Pei Yaozhou was observing her.
It was the first time that Pei Yaozhou saw Qiao Ruoxi wearing home clothes.
Qiao Ruoxi usually wears her hair tied up with a pearwood hairpin and designs her own clothes, giving her an overall classic and cool look.
Now she is wearing pink bunny pajamas, with her long black hair draped over her waist, and her little face is rosy, looking very lively.
When people see it, they can't help but want to hug it in their arms, knead it, and feel whether it is as soft and cute as imagined.
Pei Yaozhou was shocked by his own perverted thoughts and quickly turned his head to look out the window.
"I came to you to talk to you about treating my leg." Qiao Ruoxi said seriously.
Pei Yaozhou maneuvered his wheelchair to the French window and said, "It doesn't matter if it can't be cured. You don't have to feel stressed."
"No, I found a way to heal your leg, but the process will be difficult. If you can't persist, it may even endanger your life, so I want to ask for your opinion."
Pei Yaozhou's eyes flickered as he looked out the window. He slowly turned his head and met Qiao Ruoxi's eyes: "Are you saying that I can really stand up again?"
Qiao Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, but the process will be difficult. I need you to trust me unconditionally."
After the words fell, there was a long silence.
Pei Yaozhou suddenly smiled and lowered his eyes. When he looked up again, his eyes were firm: "Okay, I believe you unconditionally!"
Hearing this answer, for some reason, Qiao Ruoxi's heart trembled slightly, and then she felt relieved.
She breathed a sigh of relief, her brows curved, and she patted the big bed beside her: "Come, Master Pei, lie down."
