Old Lin looked at Gu Bai with approval and nodded repeatedly.
Looking at his admiring expression, Su Tian wondered if Gu Bai knew this old man.
Old Nie got up, and the orderly next to him quickly helped him up and sat him down at the table.
Su Tian sat beside her, examined her carefully, and took her pulse for a long time.
Gu Bai stood quietly to the side and watched. Although he did not understand medicine, he could tell from Su Tian’s furrowed brows that the situation was troublesome.
Su Tian withdrew her hand and said softly, "Teacher, the old commander's brain was injured years ago and the blood clots were not completely cleared. Now, they are pressing on his nerves, causing him unbearable pain."
Old Lin nodded, "Yes, that's true. Acupuncture used to only provide temporary relief, but it doesn't work now."
Seeing her teacher's puzzled look, Su Tian said repeatedly, "Teacher, you used the acupuncture techniques too many times before, so they've become ineffective."
I do have a special acupuncture technique that can draw out stagnant blood, but it carries a high risk, and I'm only about 60% confident in its success.
Old Lin hesitated, but Old Nie, sitting at the table, insisted, "Young friend, why not give it a try? Try it boldly. It's better than me suffering like this every day."
Su Tian nodded, took a deep breath, disinfected the silver needles, and began to administer the acupuncture.
Old Lin watched as Su Tian's needle technique became extremely skillful, her hand speed was incredibly fast, and it was unique and strange. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what this needle technique was.
He suspected it might be the lost Thirteen Ghost Needles from ancient medical books, but it was just a legend and no one had ever seen it.
He suppressed his curiosity and decided to wait until Su Tian finished administering the needles before asking.
Gu Bai clenched his fists nervously, watching intently.
As Su Tian inserted the needles faster and faster, more and more sweat appeared on her forehead.
Seeing this, Gu Bai took out the tissue Su Tian had given him from his pocket and gently wiped her sweat.
As the last silver needle fell, Gu Bai noticed that Su Tian's face was a little pale. Fearing that she would collapse, he quickly stood behind her and gently supported her shoulders.
The others saw that Old Master Nie's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed and his pain disappeared, and they all showed approving smiles to Su Tian.
Su Tian breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Gu Bai's hand on her shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
"Commander, how are you feeling now?" Su Tian asked him with concern.
"I feel much lighter in my head. That heavy, oppressive feeling, that pain that made me want to bang my head against the wall, is gone."
"This is simply amazing, young friend! Thank you for your hard work, going to such lengths for an old man like me."
"You're too kind. You're a good friend of my teacher, so you're my elder. It's only right for a junior to help an elder."
"Haha, Su Tian, well done! I just checked, you had a total of thirteen needles inserted, is that the thirteen needles I understand?"
Seeing her teacher's puzzled look, Su Tian quickly explained, "Yes, teacher, I was fortunate enough to see that ancient book. When I read it, it was as if I had already learned it. After practicing a few times, I was able to master it."
"Haha, amazing! I heard my teacher talk about this acupuncture technique when I was young, but I thought it was just a legend. I didn't expect you to know it."
Su Tian said modestly, "Teacher, you flatter me too much. If you had seen this when you were young, you might have had even greater fortune."
"Hey, maybe, haha."
"Teacher, the commander needs to undergo acupuncture twice more to dispel the blood stasis that is compressing the brain nerves."
Seven days later, I will come again to give the leader another acupuncture treatment.
At this moment, Old Nie stood up and stretched his body. He shook his head and felt more comfortable than ever before.
He looked at Su Tian gratefully, "Young friend, you saved my life. I must thank you properly." He then instructed the orderly to prepare a gift of thanks.
Su Tian quickly waved her hand to refuse, "Chief, you don't need to be so polite. I treat you as an elder and I was just doing what a junior should do."
After saying that, Su Tian took out a few bottles of improved health pills from her medicine box, which were not so miraculous in their effects, and placed them on the table.
"Sir, these are health pills I made myself. Take one every day; they'll be good for your health."
"Haha, old friend, hurry up and put it away. I want a few more bottles, but she won't give them to me yet."
She gave you so much all at once; it makes me so jealous.
"Don't try to take it from me. You already have enough. I'm keeping these bottles for myself."
When Old Nie heard that it was a good item, he quickly picked it up and put it in the drawer.
He took out a military medal from the drawer and walked up to Su Tian. "Here, take it and play with it. Giving you money would be too much of a waste, so I'll just give you this."
Su Tian accepted the special medal with both hands, feeling that it was of great significance.
Although she didn't understand how important this meant, she at least knew that it was something the old commander had fought for with his life.
"Commander, this is too precious, isn't it? I can't accept it." Su Tian kept stroking it.
"Su Tian, take it. He has more of these, so don't be shy."
Old friend, you should rest first. After we leave, you can take one of the pills you just ate, and then have a proper meal.
I'll go back with them first, and I'll come see you again next time.
"Haha, alright, Xiao Yan, you see them off for me," Old Nie instructed the orderly standing at the door.
"Yes, sir."
Su Tian packed up the first-aid kit, and Gu Bai quickly helped carry it.
Reluctant to look at General Manager Nie, he could only follow behind Su Tian and slowly walk outside the courtyard.
"Su Tian, have you ever thought about passing on your acupuncture skills?" Old Lin suddenly asked Su Tian.
"Teacher, this lost acupuncture technique is very demanding and extremely difficult to learn. It's not something an ordinary person can master." Su Tian shook her head helplessly.
After hearing this, Old Lin sighed repeatedly, "That's true. The fact that it was lost means it's difficult to learn. Most people can't learn it. I never thought you could learn it."
After they got into the car, the attendant took them to Mr. Lin's building.
"Teacher, we'll be going now. You should go back and get some rest."
"Yes, teacher knows. Thank you for your hard work. I'll head back now."
After Old Lin went back, Gu Bai also pushed his bicycle and followed Su Tian out of the family building.
Suddenly, Su Tian's vision went black, and she almost fell. Gu Bai quickly caught her and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine. I'm probably just a little dizzy because I was hungry and the acupuncture treatment was tiring."
"I'll take you to eat. Please sit down first."
Gu Bai helped Su Tian sit down, and he quickly drove her to the nearest state-run restaurant.
After eating, Su Tian felt herself recover.
"Gu Bai, eat! What are you looking at me for?"
Su Tian noticed that Gu Bai was looking at him without eating, so she quickly urged him to eat.
"I'll eat." After seeing that Su Tian was alright, he quickened his pace of eating.
