Chapter 32
032 A critical moment
At this moment, Tan Rou also realized the gravity of the situation. She couldn’t care so much anymore and quickly walked forward. She lowered her head and started to examine Zhuang Liu’s legs.
After taking a few glances, Tan Rou asked with certainty, “Poison?”
Zhuang Liu only felt that his expectations were too high just now. It turned out that there was something worse than not being able to cure it. It was being seen by Tan Rou in such a sorry state.
Zhuang Liu suddenly felt a little hopeless. He slowly turned his head away, wishing he could hide.
Bai Jing was extremely anxious. “Yes, the poison is moving faster now.” As he said that, he held a needle and was about to poke it into his leg.
“Don’t!” Tan Rou stopped Bai Jing. “Stimulating this acupuncture point can indeed alleviate the pain, but it will also stimulate the sensitive nerves in the legs. He won’t be able to take it.”
Bai Jing’s eyes lit up, “You also know acupuncture?”
Zhuang Liu felt that he was probably beyond saving. Just now, he was afraid that Tan Rou would despise him, but now that he heard her say that, he felt a little happy. She was probably worried about him.
Tan Rou also became serious. It was a critical moment. Saving people was more important. If it was delayed any longer, something bad might happen.
Tan Rou nodded and pointed at the two acupuncture points on Zhuang Liu’s leg, “These two points should be fine.”
Bai Jing felt as if he had been struck by lightning. That’s right, why didn’t he notice it!
Bai Jing secretly cursed himself for being useless and old. The more anxious he was, the more mistakes he made. However, he also felt pleasantly surprised. Not only did Tan Rou understand what was going on, but she was also able to point out his mistake. She must be an expert!
Bai Jing didn’t waste any time and directly handed the silver needle to Tan Rou. “Little friend, help me stabilize his poison for now. I’ll go decoct another medicine.”
After saying that, Bai Jing looked at Tan Rou seriously. “You can do it.” He believed his own judgment of her. Tan Rou’s mastery of acupuncture was far from his.
Tan Rou only hesitated for a moment. After all, this mission was a little too important. However, every doctor had a sense of responsibility. How could they delay saving people just because they were afraid of taking responsibility?
Thinking of this, Tan Rou nodded solemnly and picked up the silver needle, “Uncle Bai, don’t worry, I can do it.”
With that, Tan Rou began to place the needle. Her movements were gentle but very decisive.
Xiao Mo was so anxious and he wanted to go forward and stop her. He had never heard of Miss Tan Rou’s medical skills. This was not a joke. If there was the slightest mistake, wouldn’t Third Young Master’s life be in danger? Divine Doctor Bai was at fault as well. How could he trust others so easily?
However, Zhuang Liu reached out to stop Xiao Mo and looked at Tan Rou quietly. At this moment, he had already thrown away the awkwardness in his mind. He only looked at the girl squatting in front of him with a serious expression. His heart was calm and he comforted Tan Rou, “Don’t be nervous. I believe in you.”
For some reason, Zhuang Liu’s heart was willing to believe that Tan Rou could do it. She had always been so outstanding. No matter how many difficult problems she faced, in front of her, the problems looked easy. This was the most amazing little girl he had ever met. Since she said she could do it, what reason did he have to not believe her?
Tan Rou took some time to look at Zhuang Liu. This person was really interesting. In this kind of situation, others would probably be scared out of their wits. After all, she had just arrived, and she had already taken the liberty to interfere with his illness.
Tan Rou felt that he was a very interesting person. She did not expect that not only was Zhuang Liu handsome, but his personality also was gentle, and he had such a good temper. The two of them had only met twice and he dared to place his trust in her?
However, Tan Rou still nodded, “Don’t worry, I really know what I am doing!”
Little did Tan Rou know that the Zhuang family’s Third Young Master was never associated with the words ‘gentle’ and ‘good temper’. No one in the business world dared to look down on him because of Zhuang Liu’s body. It was because he was ruthless in his actions and his methods were vicious. He was like a hungry wolf that continuously expanded his business territory.
Xiao Mo sighed helplessly. Third Young Master’s condition was completely hopeless. He had even given his life to Miss Tan Rou to play with. This world was too crazy.
Tan Rou quickly sealed the important acupoints to prevent the poison from spreading upwards. Then, she took a small knife and a container from the cabinet beside her. After quickly disinfecting it, she looked at Zhuang Liu. “I’m going to release some poisonous blood. Bear with the pain.”
Zhuang Liu nodded silently.
With a flash of silver light, Tan Rou cut a small wound on Zhuang Liu’s calf. Immediately, dark red blood flowed out from the small wound.
Tan Rou looked at the dark blood and frowned. “This poison has been around for many years, but it’s still so toxic.”
Zhuang Liu did not feel much pain because the pain was nothing to him, “I was poisoned when I was young. It has been more than ten years. It’s all thanks to Uncle Bai that I’m still alive.”
