Chapter 12
Bei Shuo Knows Acupuncture
Bei Shuo rubbed her hands to warm them up as she said, “From your pulse, it looks like your meridians are blocked quite badly. I have to sort out your meridians. If you feel anything, you have to tell me immediately.”
As she spoke, Bei Shuo gently lifted one side of the blanket and skillfully kneaded Mu Ci’s acupuncture points and meridians from the left side. As she did so, she asked Mu Ci how he felt.
Mu Ci did not speak, but Bei Shuo did not mind. She continued talking to herself, but Liu Ming listened attentively.
“Every meridian is severely blocked. It seems he did not suddenly stop walking out of the blue, right? He probably lost the ability over time.”
“Yes, yes,” Liu Ming quickly replied.
Bei Shuo pressed her knuckles against the back of Mu Ci’s thigh. “Do you feel anything?”
Mu Ci did not say anything. Bei Shuo tightened her grip, and Mu Ci could not help but groan.
Liu Ming’s eyes widened in surprise. “Young Master, do you feel pain?”
Mu Ci did not say anything. Bei Shuo had already changed to the next acupuncture point and said, “This is cellulitis. Your body is severely infected. How did it end up like this?”
She pressed his leg again, causing Mu Ci to groan.
“This is an acupuncture point called the nest of a hundred insects,” Bei Shuo muttered.
“Insects? What insects?” Liu Ming was shocked.
Bei Shuo said, “It’s fine. It’s not a bug. It’s just a name. There’s a lesion there. Fortunately, there’s still time.”
Mu Ci’s calf did not feel anything, but it was cold to the touch.
Bei Shuo blew at her palms and rubbed them hard. Then, she started massaging from the bottom of his feet.
Liu Ming was already dumbfounded and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
The little girl in front of him was already sweating profusely. It was obvious that she was using a lot of strength, but the young master did not make a sound. Liu Ming did not know if he was relieved or nervous.
After pressing the left side, Bei Shuo covered the left side of his body with the blanket and started massaging the right side.
She then asked Mu Ci to turn over.
Now, even Mu Ci did not say anything and let Bei Shuo do whatever she wanted. However, Mu Ci closed his eyes and did not look at Bei Shuo.
Bei Shuo was so focused that she did not notice Mu Ci’s emotions.
Liu Ming had watched Mu Ci grow up. Of course, he could tell at a glance that his young master was in a difficult position. However, this new young mistress had broadened his horizons. He no longer cared about his young master’s emotions and only stared at Bei Shuo’s operation.
By the time the full-body massage was done, Bei Shuo was already sweating profusely. She sat on the carpet without any care for her image and sighed. “I finally understand why Master stands by the bed every day and forces me to get up and train. It’s impossible to become a good doctor without good stamina!”
Mu Ci could not help but open his eyes. Looking at Bei Shuo’s sweaty face, he said coldly, “Let’s stop here. We’ll continue tomorrow.”
Bei Shuo jumped up. “How can I do that? I’ve finally opened up the acupuncture points. If I don’t continue with the acupuncture, won’t I die of exhaustion tomorrow?”
Mu Ci opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Liu Ming said carefully, “Young Master has always used western medicine for treatment. He also tried traditional Chinese medicine in the past, but it was useless, so Old Master Mu drove the doctors away.”
Bei Shuo took the needle bag and stretched her fingers. “Who cares about Chinese or Western medicine? The process isn’t important. The outcome is the most important.”
Bei Shuo muttered to herself. Liu Ming gradually understood that this girl’s habit was to talk to herself. She did not need anyone to respond.
“I’m going to perform acupuncture. Don’t be nervous. I’ve graduated from my apprenticeship. You’re my patient from now on. You’re my exclusive patient. You have to trust me, understand? Those who believe in me will have eternal life. If you don’t believe in me, you’ll suffer! Have a good sleep. I’ll call you when it’s time.”
Mu Ci was very quiet, not saying a word.
Liu Ming felt that the young master had nothing to say. He had helplessly accepted the fate of being manipulated by his new wife.
In the morning, his young master clearly had the upper hand. He coaxed and deceived the young lady to get a marriage certificate. In the afternoon, retribution came and he lay there, unable to move.
Liu Ming chuckled and looked at the girl in front of him. He felt that she was more pleasing to the eye now.
