The two who hadn't seen each other for a long time hugged each other and wept bitterly for quite a while. Ouyang Luofeng coughed even more violently in her excitement, and large patches of bright red blood stained the well - washed and faded handkerchief.
Ouyang Yuqing was in a panic and helpless. Turning his head in a hurry, he pleaded with Wu Luoluo, "Master - mother! Please save my little aunt!"
In his desperation, Ouyang Yuqing even blurted out "Master - mother". Shangguan Yun was quite satisfied. Seeing that Wu Luoluo seemed a bit nervous, he stepped forward gently and squeezed her slender fingers, whispering, "Luoluo, you don't need to feel pressured. Just do your best."
Wu Luoluo swallowed quietly. She was a bit unsure. But looking at Ouyang Yuqing's eager eyes, she had to pluck up her courage and step forward to feel the pulse, secretly cheering herself on: When she saved the young master and the old lady back then, they didn't even have a pulse! Although Aunt's pulse was a bit weak, there were still signs to follow. So she should do her best!
After a series of inspections including looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse, Wu Luoluo sighed with a pale face, "The tuberculosis has been lingering for quite a long time. Moreover, Aunt has been over - worried, which has made the condition even more serious. Now we can only prescribe some herbal medicine first to stabilize it, and then use acupuncture techniques for slow recuperation..."
Ouyang Luofeng's wound on her forehead had healed about seventy - eighty percent. The most difficult problem now was the tuberculosis. It was hard to say whether it could be recuperated well. Coupled with her current difficult situation, which led to unstable emotions and extremely poor mental state, the condition was much worse than Wu Luoluo had imagined.
Shangguan Yun noticed Wu Luoluo's anxiety. He stepped forward and put his arm around her slender waist, whispering, "You can just prescribe the medicine boldly and perform acupuncture to save her. We will help Aunt Ouyang get justice from the Xiang Mansion and let her reunite with her child as soon as possible."
Wu Luoluo nodded in agreement.
Ouyang Yuqing immediately found a courtyard to rent not far from the Xiang Mansion. He took Aunt Ouyang there to recuperate from her illness and then went to get the medicine according to the prescription written by Wu Luoluo. After finishing these things, Shangguan Yun took him and He Xiao to the Xiang Mansion.
While performing acupuncture, Wu Luoluo chatted with Ouyang Luofeng about how she got acquainted with the old lady. She only told the good news and not the bad, and talked about the recent situation of the Ouyang Mansion. Only then did Ouyang Luofeng's emotions stabilize a bit.
When Wu Luoluo was performing acupuncture on the Tanzhong acupoint, she thought for a while, then reached into the acupuncture bag and took out the long, thin and patterned silver needle of her grand - uncle. She gently twirled the end of the needle and skillfully inserted it.
On weekdays, when performing acupuncture on the young master, she was very familiar with the Tanzhong acupoint. Subconsciously, Wu Luoluo felt that it was more appropriate to use a long needle to treat Aunt's tuberculosis, so she boldly used the long needle of her grand - uncle and inserted it. But this needle made Wu Luoluo feel a bit strange. She clearly saw the pattern on the silver needle of her grand - uncle flash for a moment.
Wu Luoluo was a bit surprised. She had closed the doors and windows in advance for fear that Aunt Ouyang would catch a cold, and there was only one candle left in the room for lighting. Under the weak candlelight, none of the other silver needles flashed, but only this silver needle with the simple pattern flashed and then there was no more movement.
Was it a problem of the angle? Or was she seeing things?
Just as Wu Luoluo was wondering, Ouyang Luofeng suddenly twitched all over and coughed violently, which startled her and the maid Juan'er. They quickly helped Aunt up and patted her on the back to help her catch her breath.
Ouyang Luofeng coughed more and more violently. The bright red blood on the handkerchief slowly turned dark brown. Wu Luoluo's face turned pale. Did she insert the needle too deep or in the wrong place on the Tanzhong acupoint? She was extremely flustered and quickly stepped forward to remove the silver needles on Aunt Ouyang's chest one by one. Only then did Ouyang Luofeng's coughing slowly subside.
Wu Luoluo blamed herself, "Aunt, maybe I inserted that needle a bit too deep just now..."
Ouyang Luofeng took a breath and pulled Wu Luoluo's hand to comfort her, "It's okay. I trust you. Just like my mother and nephew trust you! I know you're doing your best to save me..."
Wu Luoluo was deeply touched when she heard this. When she first left Mangmang Mountain and learned to treat patients like her master, fortunately, all the people she met along the way were willing to trust her. This was a great encouragement to Wu Luoluo.
After Ouyang Luofeng's breath had stabilized, Wu Luoluo reached out to feel her pulse. To her great surprise, Aunt Ouyang's pulse was much more stable than before! Wu Luoluo originally thought she had misperceived. She quickly pressed on the pulse and carefully felt it again. After a while, she was very sure that Aunt Ouyang's pulse was indeed much more stable than before!
What on earth was going on? Could it be that the condition was immediately relieved after the acupuncture? It was impossible! Aunt Ouyang suffered from incurable tuberculosis. It could only be slightly relieved with herbal medicine as the main treatment and acupuncture as the auxiliary treatment. How could it be cured only by acupuncture?
Wu Luoluo's face was as pale as a sheet. Ouyang Luofeng and Juan'er were extremely panicked. Was there no hope for this illness? Why did Miss Wu look like this?
Wu Luoluo suddenly remembered again that when she was a child, she had contracted smallpox. Her grand - uncle spat into her herbal medicine and forced her to drink it beside her sickbed. When she woke up, she was cured! When she first met the young master, he had drowned. Her grand - uncle spat into the copper pot for his medicinal bath. The young master had a pulse after taking the medicinal bath that day! Could it be that her crazy grand - uncle was really a high - level Taoist master with the ability to bring the dead back to life! And this silver needle left by her grand - uncle was an extraordinary magical weapon?
Holding the silver needle, Wu Luoluo immediately wanted to kneel down and kowtow three times to her missing grand - uncle.
Ouyang Luofeng looked at Wu Luoluo acting like a madwoman and asked in confusion, "Miss Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Luoluo hugged Ouyang Luofeng excitedly and said, "Aunt! Your tuberculosis can be cured! After a few more acupuncture sessions, I can cure you!"
Juan'er: …
Madam, is this Miss Wu really reliable?
It was pitch - black outside. The servants of the Xiang Mansion were putting up bright lanterns at the door with a wooden ladder. Just as the red lanterns were hung up, they saw someone walking over. The servant looked up and saw that it was actually one of those who had come during the day!
The servant quickly waved his hand and drove him away, "Why are you here again? I've already told you that our master is not at home! Hurry up and leave!"
He Xiao raised his eyebrows and laughed, "I've always swaggered through the streets in the capital. No one has ever dared to stop me. If you don't want to die, I advise you to get out of the way quickly!" Even the city - guarding general at the palace gate would obediently come up to salute when he saw the token of his Prince's Mansion! This small Xiang family really had a lot of nerve.
Shangguan Yun was both amused and annoyed, "Are you a crab?"
The two servants' faces changed. They angrily said, "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Ouyang Yuqing staggered in the distance, carrying their heavy crossbow and gritted his teeth, "T - T - T - Teacher, my hands won't listen to me..."
Shangguan Yun smiled gently, "It doesn't matter. Practice slowly. No one can pull it open on the first try. Put your hands here." Then, he taught Ouyang Yuqing to draw the bowstring hand in hand.
Before Ouyang Yuqing could react, Shangguan Yun held his hand and pulled and released. Three arrows were shot out forcefully, instantly piercing three big holes in the main gate of the Xiang Mansion.
