Chapter 103: Reward for Good Deeds 2
Madam Lian had come over at some point. She had been silent.
When Su Xiaolu was done packing and was about to look for Madam Lian, she saw Madam Lian in the room. She smiled sweetly and said, “Auntie, you’re here. It’s your turn.”
Madam Lian’s eyes reddened. She had been here for a while and had seen how Su Xiaolu took care of Sun Baoqian’s emotions. This made her have an even better impression of Su Xiaolu.
When they arrived at Madam Lian’s residence, it was much simpler. Su Xiaolu only placed needles on her hands and waist. She only asked Madam Lian to remove her outerwear and keep her innerwear on.
Madam Lian’s expression was gentle as she watched Su Xiaolu insert the needles one by one.
!!
Su Xiaolu put away the needle bag and looked at Madam Lian. “Auntie, call me when you feel that your stomach is warm.”
Madam Lian nodded. “Okay, you must be tired. Rest for a while.”
When Madam Lian saw the sweat on Su Xiaolu’s face, her expression was filled with concern and heartache.
Su Xiaolu smiled and raised her hand to wipe her sweat. She waved her hand and said, “I’m not tired. You guys rest for a while. I’ll go take a look at my master.”
It would take a while before she had to remove the needles anyway. She would be bored if she stayed here.
Madam Lian nodded and said gently, “Then take your time.”
Su Xiaolu was extremely energetic and ran out.
Madam Lian watched as the little figure ran away. She retracted her gaze and looked gently at Sun Baoqian, who was lying on the bed. Her eyes were filled with heartache.
Su Xiaolu ran to the courtyard at the side.
“Master, I’m here.”
Su Xiaolu shouted and went into the house.
Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian had both taken off their shirts. Their chests and backs were covered in silver needles.
Seeing Su Xiaolu come in, the two of them were a little embarra.s.sed, but this awkwardness was dispelled by Old Wu’s words.
Old Wu was still inserting the needle. Without turning his head, he said, “Girl, come and take a look. Do you know this acupuncture technique?”
Su Xiaolu leaned closer to watch. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know how.”
It was unknown which acupuncture technique Old Wu was using. The silver needles were trembling and intersecting.
Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian did not feel uncomfortable. Su Xiaolu found it magical.
Old Wu made Su Xiaolu pay attention and taught her personally.
Su Xiaolu took a silver needle and aimed at the acupuncture point. Sun Bocheng hissed.
Su Xiaolu took out another needle.
Old Wu said without changing his expression, “It has to be strong and quick. Try again.”
As for using Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian as practice targets? Old Wu didn’t think it was wrong. He thought that this was their honor.
Su Xiaolu learned diligently. After trying thrice, she was able to do it as well as Old Wu.
Old Wu did not care about the outsiders. He praised in satisfaction, “Girl, you’re amazing. You learned it so quickly. Come, you’ll do the rest.”
This was the first time he taught Su Xiaolu this technique. Coupled with Su Xiaolu’s natural talent, the effect of the technique would be even greater.
Su Xiaolu nodded and used the needle without another hesitation.
Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian were both stunned. They didn’t dare to question him, but they could roughly guess from Old Wu’s tone. They only thought in their hearts that Lu Xiaocha was too outstanding.
After Su Xiaolu was done, she said to Old Wu, “Master, I’ll go get the needles first.”
It was time for her to remove the needles from Sun Baoshan.
Old Wu nodded and waved his hand. “Go ahead. There are a hundred sets of acupuncture techniques. I’ll take this opportunity to teach you one every day.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay.”
She would learn well.
Su Xiaolu returned to the courtyard where Sun Baoshan and Sun Baoqian lived. Sun Baoshan was already asleep.
Su Xiaolu did not disturb him. She quietly took out the needles and pulled the blanket over him.
Although the house was very warm, Sun Baoshan’s body was too weak. It was better to be careful.
What Su Xiaolu didn’t notice was that Sun Baoshan’s eyelashes fluttered and his hands were clenched into fists.
After Su Xiaolu covered him with a blanket and went out, Sun Baoshan opened his eyes in relief.
He pursed his lips, a smile in his eyes.
Su Xiaolu came to Sun Baoqian’s room and saw that Sun Baoqian was also asleep. She whispered to Madam Lian, “How do you feel, Auntie? Is your stomach warm?”
Madam Lian nodded. “It’s warm and comfortable.”
Madam Lian had a smile on her face. She couldn’t describe what she felt just now. It was as if a warm current had suddenly filled her abdomen. She felt very comfortable. At that time, Su Xiaolu was busy removing the needles from Sun Baoshan. She thought that it would be fine to wait for a little and not disturb her.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “I’m here to remove a few needles now. This way, you’ll feel warmth in your limbs later. At that time, I’ll remove all of them for you.”
Madam Lian nodded.
Su Xiaolu took four needles from Madam Lian and sat by the bed to rest and wait.
Madam Lian recalled the black spot on the needle tip when she went to see her son just now. She couldn’t help but ask, “Xiaolu, I saw that the silver needle on Shan’s finger was a little black just now. Is that poison?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. She pointed at Sun Baoqian’s hand and said, “Yes, that’s the poison that was drawn out. Their bodies have acc.u.mulated a lot of it, but they can only be drawn out bit by bit at a time, so it will take a long time to clear the poison.”
There was a silver needle in Sun Baoqian’s hand beside the bed. The end of the silver needle was already a little black, and it was especially dazzling.
Madam Lian’s heart ached. Her two children had suffered.
“Xiaolu, thank you.”
Madam Lian thanked her sincerely.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “There’s no need to thank me. I received payment.”
Madam Sun smiled gently. The Sun family had paid some compensation, but they still owed them a favor. Some things couldn’t be done with money, and divine doctors didn’t go to just anyone, so the Sun family was lucky.
The Sun family had suffered for several generations because of the poisoning of their ancestors. It was a good thing that it could end in this generation. This was the blessing of the Sun family.
Su Xiaolu did not know what Madam Lian was thinking. She was a little sleepy.
When the time came, she removed the needles for Sun Baoqian and Madam Lian. As she yawned, she said, “Auntie, I’m done for today. I’ll go back to sleep first. This kind of acupuncture treatment stops every three days.”
Madam Lian nodded and said gently, “Alright, go back to sleep and rest well. Tell me if you need anything.”
Su Xiaolu yawned and nodded as she went back to the small courtyard where she and Master lived.
Originally, the Sun residence wanted to arrange servants for her and her master, but the old man didn’t like that, so they gave up.
When Su Xiaolu returned to the courtyard, Old Wu was having supper and eating braised meat, and drinking wine. When he saw Su Xiaolu return, Old Wu waved his hand. “Girl, come. Eat something before going to sleep.”
Su Xiaolu thought about it and went to eat.
Although she would gain weight if she ate supper, she was still a child. Her family’s meals were not bad, but the meat was still a rare thing.
The pork shoulder and ribs with sauce were so fragrant.
Su Xiaolu was satisfied after eating a piece of pork shoulder and a piece of pork rib. She said sweetly, “Master, I’ll clean up the silver needles before going to sleep.”
