Chapter 31
031 Nervous
Wisps of smoke drifted out, and the faint fragrance carried the smell of Chinese medicine. Zhuang Liu took a deep breath and miraculously felt that his entire body seemed to have been opened up by the soft fragrance.
Zhuang Liu slightly narrowed his eyes, feeling a rare sense of relaxation, and actually felt a little sleepy.
Xiao Mo also felt that it was very magical, “Is this fragrance really so magical? The third Young Master hasn’t been resting well because he was overly worried. It’s been a long time since he’s relaxed.”
Seeing Zhuang Liu’s satisfied expression, Xiao Mo had already thought of bringing more incenses back from Bai Jing’s place in a while. Third Young Master could finally sleep well.
Bai Jing felt honored, “Of course. That young friend is a rare genius. An ordinary person would feel relaxed just by smelling this fragrance. It has the effect of cultivating one’s body and mind. But for someone like Xiao Liu who is overly worried and has been in a deficit for a long time, it is especially nourishing.”
Zhuang Liu simply closed his eyes and immersed himself in the fragrance. He agreed and said, “It is indeed good. No wonder you value it so much.”
Bai Jing slowly squatted down and rolled up Zhuang Liu’s trousers, “Then shall I begin?”
Xiao Mo who was aside nervously squeezed his hands.
Zhuang Liu slowly nodded. “Let’s begin.”
Just as he said that Bai Jing picked up the acupuncture needles and smoothly poked them into Zhuang Liu’s legs. His speed was unbelievably fast.
Zhuang Liu’s legs were especially thin because he had been sitting in a wheelchair all year round. Moreover, because the toxins had been accumulating for a long time, his legs were faintly purplish-green. Now that his legs are filled with silver acupuncture needles, they looked even scarier.
As Bai Jing moved the silver needles bit by bit according to the direction of his acupuncture points, beads of sweat gradually began to appear on Zhuang Liu’s forehead.
Bai Jing was highly focused. He did not even dare to blink his eyes. Soon, his body was also drenched in sweat.
Time passed bit by bit. Xiao Mo was so nervous that he did not even dare to breathe. He stared intently at Bai Jing’s rapidly moving hands.
Bai Jing anxiously shouted, “Xiao Mo, go get the medicine that I just brewed and give it to Xiao Liu to drink!”
Xiao Mo quickly ran over to get the medicine and returned to feed Zhuang Liu, one gulp after another.
Zhuang Liu frowned. He endured the pain and swallowed the medicine bit by bit.
Bai Jing said while doing the acupuncture, “The situation is worse than I thought, but it is too late to stop now. Hold on!”
Zhuang Liu’s face had already turned pale. After drinking the medicine, he forced himself to take a deep breath and replied, “I’m fine.”
Bai Jing was a little anxious. His plan was risky, to begin with, but only after starting the acupuncture treatment did he realize that even after so many years, the poison was still terrifyingly overbearing.
All these years, Bai Jing had been using medicine to stabilize the poison and slowly expel it from his body. However, the poison was very strange. It seemed to be able to continuously grow in Zhuang Liu’s body, continuously feeding on him and accumulating for so long, that it actually made their toxicity even more intense.
Bai Jing felt uneasy, but he didn’t dare to stop. He kept trying to guide the poison down.
At this moment, a sound came from the door. Tan Rou walked in, “Uncle Bai, are you there?”
Bai Jing didn’t have the time to answer. He was focused on Zhuang Liu’s legs.
Tan Rou was here to deliver incense. After she went home, she made some more with different effects. She wanted to bring them over to Bai Jing to see if there were any other areas that needed improvement.
However, the moment she entered the door, she discovered that Bai Jing was in the midst of applying the acupuncture needle.
Tan Rou subconsciously wanted to avoid it. This was a rule. Firstly, she was afraid of disturbing Bai Jing. Secondly, she was afraid of invading other people’s privacy.
However, just as Tan Rou was about to turn around and leave, she inadvertently glanced at the person who was receiving the treatment. She remembered that she had actually seen the person before. It was the man she had saved at the medicinal herbs market the other day.
So he knew Uncle Bai as well. What a coincidence.
Because she had seen him before, Tan Rou hesitated for a moment and stayed where she was without moving.
At this moment, Zhuang Liu felt that he had vaguely heard a familiar voice. This voice had appeared in his mind countless times. He had thought that it was because he was suffering so much that he was hallucinating.
Zhuang Liu opened his eyes slightly and saw that Tan Rou was really standing right in front of him! In a moment of panic, he suddenly mustered all his remaining strength to sit up and try to find something to cover his legs.
Zhuang Liu was extremely flustered. He must be in an extremely ugly state right now. He did not want Tan Rou to see him in this state.
Bai Jing shouted, “What are you doing! Messing around! Quickly lie down!”
Xiao Mo hurriedly held Zhuang Liu down, “Third Young Master, don’t move!”
With his sudden movement, coupled with the sudden fluctuation in his emotions, the condition of his legs became even worse. Bai Jing’s forehead was covered in sweat, and he anxiously shouted, “Not good!”
