Chapter 205: Three Needles for Detoxification
"It's because my precious grandson has a kind heart, otherwise..."
He didn't say what he was going to say next, but everyone with eyes could understand.
Otherwise, they would have been kicked out long ago, or they would have been taken away by the prefect.
Knowing this, Fang Xiaoxiao was extremely grateful.
"Thank you, Mr. Li!"
With that, he returned to the backyard cottage at the other person's wave.
Inside He Jinnian's room in the backyard.
As Fang Xiaoxiao watched He Jinnian's complexion gradually regain its color, a weight was finally lifted from her heart.
If He Jinnian doesn't recover soon, they'll truly become like stinking rats in a sewer, never to see the light of day again.
"Phew, you're finally better. In another seven days, the toxins in your body should be gone."
"Cough cough... Thank you for saving my life, my lady. Jin Nian owes you another life."
"Hey, we're family, saying these things is too formal. If you keep saying these things, I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"
Fang Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry, pouting her lips and looking slightly dissatisfied.
Do you know what PUA is? This is it!
The reason I said that was to make this guy feel guilty, so that I could take advantage of his position for my own benefit in the future.
He Jinnian had no idea about her many cunning schemes.
Besides gratitude, a different kind of emotion arose in my heart.
The two chatted for a few minutes, exchanging only a few words.
"Alright, you should get some rest first. Once you're better, we'll have to take care of that matter!"
Fang Xiaoxiao opened the door and said it again before leaving.
The matter being discussed was, of course, the matter of the prefect of Jiangnan Province issuing a warrant for their arrest.
Although He Jinnian was still very weak, his voice was strong and clear as he lay on the bed.
"Don't worry, my wife, I will definitely have this corrupt official arrested and thrown into prison!"
In his eyes, all corrupt officials should be imprisoned.
After receiving He Jinnian's reply, Fang Xiaoxiao smiled and offered her advice.
"No rush, you should rest first. After you've rested, we'll deal with those bastards properly."
Leave He Jinnian's room.
Fang Xiaoxiao sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard, lost in thought.
The events she encountered in this short period of time were unforgettable, especially her several near-death experiences, which left her with a deep sense of emotion.
"Phew...it really felt like a terrible nightmare."
"It really is quite terrifying!"
Not far away, Pei Yan's voice echoed in agreement.
He was still dressed in plain blue robes, making him seem like a saint untouched by the dust and grime of the world.
Her chiseled face and sorrowful eyes always evoked a sense of pity in those who saw her.
As he drew closer, Fang Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, then lay down again.
Are you born in the year of the ghost?
"how you said that."
"You always appear and disappear mysteriously; if you didn't know better, you'd think you lived in the underworld."
"..."
Her words stunned Pei Yan, who then realized what she meant and his lips twitched.
"I won't waste my breath arguing with you. I've come today because I have something to ask you."
What is it?
Fang Xiaoxiao thought about it for a moment, but couldn't figure out what he meant.
Logically speaking, Pei Yan shouldn't need to contact her for anything.
In the past, whenever Pei Yan went away for a period of time, he would never chat with her when he came back, except when he needed to get the antidote.
But now, Pei Yan's poison has long been cured, so the two should have basically no interaction.
Back then, Pei Yan came to her place paying for his own marriage; he paid for it himself.
In addition, he almost killed her.
Even someone with a poor memory would remember these details vividly.
"I'm just a wanted criminal with the entire city at large. What can I do to help you? Are you still half asleep and talking nonsense?"
Pei Yan sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then replied.
"The reason I'm looking for you is quite simple: you need me to treat someone, and I think you know that person."
"Who?"
"Xiaoman."
Grain Full!
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaoxiao immediately stood up, her eyes filled with surprise and anxiety.
Since Xiaoman said she was going to inquire about the swordsman, there has been no news of her since.
And in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
She had assumed that since she wasn't in Changle County, Xiaoman would be waiting for her there.
But now...
Thinking of this, disregarding her current image, she grabbed Pei Yan's hand, even knocking over the teacup in his hand.
"Tell me quickly, what happened to Xiaoman? Where is she now? Is she in any danger? Who injured her?"
This series of questions left Pei Yan momentarily at a loss for words.
Xiaoman is currently lying in an inn, suffering from severe poisoning and in critical condition.
They consulted many doctors and physicians, but without exception, all of them were helpless.
I wanted to go to Kyoto to see the former Imperial Physician Wang, but the journey was long and the longer I wasted, the more dangerous it would be for Xiaoman.
Pei Yan is not a heartless person. Faced with his subordinates' lives hanging by a thread, he could not remain silent, much less abandon them.
In addition, Xiaoman was someone he had personally raised, so their bond was naturally very deep.
"Save lives first, we'll worry about the rest later!"
Let’s talk about it later?
Fang Xiaoxiao, feeling something was off, quickly shook her head to shake off the bad thoughts.
"Let's go!"
When she said this, she no longer cared that she was still a wanted criminal.
……
Inside a closed inn on Beihang Road.
third floor.
Fang Xiaoxiao wore a hooded headband and a black veil over her face, her eyes showing a hint of sorrow and worry.
"Xiaoman, you will be alright. I will definitely be able to cure you."
Looking at the weak and pale Xiaoman heroine on the bed, her lips were purple and her face was dark.
It's heartbreaking to watch.
You should know that when I first met Xiaoman, she exuded a compelling heroic aura, her skills were superb, and she was also a prolific eater, almost on par with the gluttonous hero Long Jinyan.
now……
Fang Xiaoxiao gave Pei Yan a few instructions, asking him to find some medicinal herbs and bring a basin of hot water, before urging everyone to leave the room.
The Three Needles of Ghost Gate are different from the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate in novels.
It's important to understand that the primary function of silver needles is to block and open up the passage of energy. It's not about inserting more needles, but about inserting them accurately and precisely to ensure the needles reach their target.
The three needles are: one to seal the life point, one to seal the qi point, and one to open the heart point.
After the silver needles were disinfected, the three needles were inserted into the acupoints almost at the same time.
This is followed by inducing vomiting.
He took out a special emetic pill from his pocket and gave it to Xiaoman.
"Xiaoman, you'll be alright. I'm going to start lavaging your stomach now. You just have to bear with it."
Poisoning requires not only acupuncture to induce vomiting but also gastric lavage.
Only by combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine can the toxins in her body be cleared in the shortest possible time.
Time passed second by second, from day to night, and then from night to day.
Two full days have passed.
A ray of warm winter sun shines into the room through the lattice window.
Exhausted and limp on the ground, Fang Xiaoxiao fell asleep by the head of the bed.
Meanwhile, Xiaoman, who had been severely poisoned, now had a normal complexion.
