At this moment, I discovered that Xue Xiao Qi's forehead was full of sweat, and his entire body seemed to be exhausted. Even his steps were trembling a little.
He walked to the corner of the room, filled a pan of water and washed his hands before sitting down on a chair. He took a few deep breaths, stood up, walked to the side of the sleeping Old Master Xue Yassong, and lightly touched him, saying, "Father … Their needles are all gone … "
Xue Yassong drowsily opened his eyes and looked around in a daze. He then said, "I'm done. So fast …"
"It can't be considered fast. The sky has already darkened …" Xue Xiaoqi said respectfully.
Xue Yassong then glanced outside the yard and nodded, saying, "Hmm, it's really dark now. It's actually been so long …"
As he spoke, Old Master Xue stood up and walked towards us. He only casually glanced at the silver needles on our bodies, then nodded and said: "Not bad, this needle is pretty good, then prepare them for the next step. If all goes well, the cold poison in their bodies should be completely removed after three days."
He cupped his hands and said: "This move is the most important step, and everything is going well. Leave the rest for my son to do. I still have some other things to do, so I won't be accompanying you."
Luo Weiping immediately bowed and said politely, "Mr. Xue, please be at ease. I must trouble you this time. When these two people's injuries have healed, you will definitely be grateful …"
"What are you saying? Since Taoist Master Long Xuan is the one who introduced us, then we are all friends of the Xue Clan, there's no need to talk about whether we should thank you or not. If we go out and travel in the martial arts world, our Xue Clan might have some help that you guys can help out with. At that time, don't delay the time …" Old Master Xue politely said.
With that, he instructed Xue Yassong, "In a while, take out the two guest rooms on the east side and stay with them."
Xue Xiao Qi nodded his head in agreement.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xue. As long as the Xue Family says it, our special task force will help if we don't violate the rules." Luo Weiping promised.
"This is very good … "That's good …" After Old Master Xue exchanged a few pleasantries, he strode out of the room.
In my heart, however, I was puzzled. From start to finish, this old man Xue didn't seem to have helped me. He only slept for a bit here, then he drifted away. He really is a strange old man.
At this moment, only the few of us are left in the room. Xue Xiaoqi rested for a moment, and when Li Rujie woke up, it was already 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening.
After that, Xue Xiaoqi returned to my side and began to pull out the needles on my body one by one. Even with this pulling out of needles, it took me over an hour to do so.
When all of the silver needles on Li Renjie's and I were pulled out, I immediately felt relaxed. At the same time, my body could also feel the temperature. However, my body was still somewhat cold and I was unable to circulate my energy.
When Xue Xiao Qi saw that it was already late, she got Luo Wei Ping to help us change into a new set and helped us stay in the two guest rooms on the east side.
The night passed in silence.
It was just that when he slept at night, he felt much better than before. After adding a few layers of thick quilts, he was able to sleep soundly until the dawn.
I slept in the same room as Li, while Luo Weiping and the others lived in the next room.
After I woke up, I found that Li Rujie was still sleeping.
After waking up, I simply washed up and immediately felt refreshed.
After a short while, Li Shujie also woke up, so I asked him how he was feeling.
Due to the fact that Li Shujie's injuries were always too severe, he was groggy the whole way, and sometimes he even passed out. Thus, we didn't say much, and this time after the acupuncture, Li Shujie's complexion clearly looked a lot better than yesterday.
He smiled weakly at me and said, "I thought I wouldn't be able to make it through this trial. I didn't think that I would meet such a godly young doctor, who dispelled more than half of the cold poison in his body. He finally managed to get a good night's sleep these past few days."
Li Shujie shared my sentiments and couldn't help but sigh at the number of extraordinary people in this world, as well as the fact that there was a place like the Xue family's medicine store hidden in this small village.
After a short chat with Li, Luo Weiping pushed open the door and let us out, saying that he wanted to continue healing us.
After a simple cleaning up, the two of us followed Luo Wei to the door. This time, we went to the room that was adjacent to the one where acupuncture was performed yesterday. The moment we pushed open the door, there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine and a wave of rolling fog.
In the midst of the white fog, I saw that there were two wooden buckets in the room. The scent of Chinese medicine came from within the buckets.
Xue Xiaoqi looked drowsy, but when he saw us come in, he said, "Hurry up and take off your clothes. We'll go in and soak in a medicinal bath, then we'll continue to extract the cold poison from your body."
Li Renjie and I had complete trust in this young Divine Doctor. After saying a few words of thanks, we took off our clothes and jumped into the medicine barrel.
This time, after we jumped in, our bodies could feel the temperature of the water, and we couldn't help but feel a little hot. It seems that the cold poison in our bodies has been purged quite a bit.
Inside this wooden barrel, there are many herbs floating around. The smell is very strong, almost half a bucket of water and half a bucket of medicine. After soaking in it for a while, I felt the heat from it and sweat starts to form on my forehead.
Xue Xiaoqi told us, "You need to stay in this barrel for six hours. Every two hours, I will heat up the water for you. After six hours, you can eat."
With that, Xue Xiaoqi walked out.
The temperature of the water was very high, as if it had just been boiled. In the beginning, under the influence of the cold poison, it did not feel too hot, but after two hours, we changed to boiling hot water, which made it somewhat difficult to stay in the water. However, Xue Xiao Qi did not allow us to come out, saying that if we wanted to force the cold poison out of our bodies, we would need to soak it for six hours.
