"Grandma Zhao, let me take your pulse first."
Zhang Shuguang placed the silver needle on the coffee table and came to Zhao Xiumei's side.
"Then I'll have to trouble Xiaoguang."
Zhao Xiumei smiled peacefully and put her arms on the armrest of the sofa.
Zhang Shuguang sat on one side, his right hand fingers gently resting on Zhao Xiumei's wrist.
"Grandma Zhao, have you ever been bitten by a poisonous snake in the past few years?"
Zhao Xiumei's pulse confirmed Zhang Shuguang's initial guess.
She is poisoned.
“Yes, I was bitten by a snake a few years ago when I was picking mushrooms nearby.
I had a dagger with me at the time, so I bled immediately and went to the military hospital to get serum and antibiotics. Could it be that there were still toxins in my body?"
Few women are not afraid of snakes, so Zhao Xiumei still remembers her experience that year vividly.
“Yes, most of the snake venom has been excreted from the body, but there is still a little bit left.
Moreover, you have lived in southern Xinjiang for many years, so you will absorb some miasma to a certain extent.
If you are in good health, this miasma will not have much impact on your body.
But for you, it has become a trigger for snake venom.
The poisonous miasma combined with the remaining snake venom has formed a mixed toxin in your body, slowly corroding your nervous system."
Zhang Shuguang slowly loosened his fingers.
"Xiao Guang, is there any solution?"
Cao Yongzhan looked delighted. This was the first time someone had seen through his wife's condition since she became unwell.
"Yes, it's not difficult."
Zhang Shuguang smiled indifferently. It was just a matter of expelling toxins from the body. For him, who had mastered the Thirteen Yin-Yang Needles, it was easier than eating or drinking.
"Grandma Zhao, please go lie down in the bedroom. I'll give you a few acupuncture needles. I guarantee that the disease will be cured."
Zhang Shuguang stood up from the sofa and made way.
"Mom, please slow down."
Cao Guangming and Liu Min, supporting Zhao Xiumei on both sides, moved from the living room to the bedroom.
After helping their mother lie down on the bed, the couple came out of the bedroom again.
"Xiao Guang, can I watch from the side? Don't worry, I won't say anything and it won't affect your treatment."
The old leader, who had been a hero on the battlefield for half his life, even spoke in a humble tone at this moment.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Cao Yongzhan knew very well that any treatment was risky. He was afraid that if something happened to his wife, he would be by her side to avoid any regrets.
"Commander Cao, you and all your family members can watch from the sidelines. I don't have so many reservations."
Other doctors may need a relatively quiet environment when giving acupuncture, and may also be afraid that others will steal their skills, but Zhang Shuguang has no such concerns at all.
His Thirteen Yin-Yang Needles came from the system, and his mastery of the technique had already penetrated into his bones. It was impossible for him to make mistakes, and he was not afraid of others stealing his skills.
"Okay, since Xiaoguang said so, let's all go in and take a look."
Zhang Shuguang's strong self-confidence gave Cao Yongzhan's family peace of mind, and they were not so worried at this time.
"Uncle Cao, after I give her the acupuncture, Grandma Zhao might vomit out the toxins in her body. Please prepare a basin or spittoon first."
Zhang Shuguang took out the silver needle and made final preparations.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Nowadays, every household has a spittoon.
Cao Guangming brought a spittoon, added some clean water into it, and placed it on the floor next to the bed in case of emergency.
"Grandma Zhao, don't be nervous. It's not a serious illness and you'll be fine soon."
Zhang Shuguang spoke softly to distract Zhao Xiumei, while the silver needle in his hand flew up and down and steadily pierced Zhao Xiumei's acupuncture points.
After the third injection, Zhao Xiumei felt her stomach churning.
When she turned her head to vomit, Zhang Shuguang was quick to hand her the spittoon.
"Wow~~"
Zhao Xiumei spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the room was instantly filled with a fishy smell.
"Mom, rinse your mouth. Do you feel better?"
Liu Min ignored the pungent fishy smell and poured a cup of warm water to Zhao Xiumei's mouth.
"Much better. I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time."
After rinsing her mouth, Zhao Xiumei raised her head with a relaxed look.
Zhang Shuguang calmly took the three silver needles out of Zhao Xiumei's body, and Zhao Xiumei's face became visibly rosy.
"Xiao Guang, is your Grandma Zhao better now? Does she still need to boil some Chinese medicine?"
Cao Yongzhan couldn't believe his eyes and asked cautiously.
"Master Cao, Grandma Zhao has fully recovered and doesn't need any medicine."
Zhang Shuguang moved away from the head of the bed, and Cao Guangming and his wife and their child quickly surrounded him.
"It's amazing, absolutely amazing."
During this period, I watched my husband's health gradually deteriorate, getting worse day by day.
The Military District Hospital and the Provincial People's Hospital were both helpless, and Cao Yongzhan gradually became desperate.
Cao Yongzhan asked Zhang Shuguang to treat him as a last resort, just not wanting to miss any glimmer of hope.
Who would have thought that Zhang Shuguang's medical skills were so advanced that he actually cured his wife.
"Commander Cao, you and your family can talk, we'll be leaving first."
Zhang Shuguang knew that Zhao Xiumei had just recovered from a serious illness, and the family must have a lot to talk about. He and his father should not be an eyesore here.
"Why call me Commander Cao? Just call me Grandpa Cao. Xiaoguang, Xiangnan, you two go back first. My family and I will definitely come to your house to express our gratitude tomorrow."
Zhang Xiangnan was originally Cao Yongzhan's trusted and beloved general. Now that Zhang Shuguang has cured Zhao Xiumei's health, Cao Yongzhan feels even closer to Zhang Xiangnan's family.
