Chapter 631 - 485: Lin Miao Takes Action (Part 2)

Lin Miao was referring to Sun Youwei, Lien Yurou, and the others, of course, including her apprentices like Xia Zhu and Ling Yu’Er.

The acupuncture method had been taught, so in the future, women performing acupuncture wouldn’t need him, naturally avoiding the awkwardness of the issue of "men and women should not touch hands."

But now, in the face of urgency, saving a life was paramount.

Xue Family Manor had many rooms, so tidying up one room was easy. Then, lighting up a brazier for warmth was necessary; given this outside temperature, stripping down would be unbearable even for a normal person.

Although Su Yi regained consciousness for a moment, she soon drifted back into a heavy sleep, hence she was completely unaware of what would happen to her next.

And acupuncture isn’t surgery; anesthetic cannot be used, so during the acupuncture process, she would definitely react to the stimulus.

"Alright, there’s no need to remove the undergarments."

Lien Yurou blushed behind her mask and quickly stopped her hands.

"This time, I will need to use 108 silver needles. You must remember the sequence of each needle, the strength applied, the technique..." Lin Miao spread out the roll of needles.

"Yurou, you record. That senior sister, help me disinfect the silver needles and hand them to me!"

"Liansuo, watch Miss Su. If she reacts, control immediately," Lin Miao instructed, "Yu’Er, cleanse her first."

"Yes!"

"Once the acupuncture is over, find her a clean set of clothes, and disinfect and wash her current clothes before returning them to her after they dry."

Once everything was prepared.

Lin Miao began the acupuncture, starting with the first needle at the philtrum point.

He applied a trace of rejuvenating inner energy; Su Yi was an ordinary person, so the pressure had to be carefully controlled, otherwise it would be unbearable for her first.

Applying all 108 needles would take at least an hour, continuously attaching rejuvenating inner energy to the needles and applying different techniques.

Actually, the method could be simplified, for example, to seventy-two or thirty-six needles, but since this was an experimental treatment, naturally the most complete form was used.

A soft moan.

Su Yi reacted, and only a third of the needles had been applied.

"Junior Brother, Miss Su’s pulse is much stronger than before." Sun Youwei reached out to feel Su Yi’s pulse, exclaimed with surprise.

"Mm, continue," Lin Miao nodded, while performing acupuncture, he also used inner energy to check on Su Yi’s internal condition. Her visceral qi flow was much stronger than before, indicating that his acupuncture was quite effective.

"No, no..." Su Yi mumbled unconsciously, eyes closed, as if she was dreaming about something, and even her hands began to move randomly.

But Liansuo quickly restrained her with a swift movement.

The treatment continued until Lin Miao inserted all 108 silver needles into Su Yi’s body, then he began to withdraw the needles.

There was also an order and technique for needle withdrawal; it wasn’t just grabbing and pulling them out. The process of withdrawal was also a reverse-stimulation treatment process.

"Alright, put her in clean clothes. If nothing unexpected happens, she will fully regain consciousness after the time it takes for one incense stick to burn." Lin Miao withdrew all the silver needles and handed them to Sun Youwei.

"Junior Brother, wipe off." Sun Youwei passed over a handkerchief she had prepared earlier.

"Thank you." Lin Miao took the fragrant handkerchief from Sun Youwei, a bit unwilling to part with it, but he used it to wipe the sweat from his forehead, intending to keep it, only for Sun Youwei to snatch it back.

Lin Miao gave an awkward smile.

Sun Youwei showed a hint of shyness at the corner of her eye and spat, "If Junior Brother likes it, I’ll embroider one for you later."

Lin Miao thought to himself, who wants your new embroidery, I want the one with your fragrance, new isn’t as good as old.

"Let me check the remaining patients, treat those who need it, don’t delay."

After about the time it takes for one incense stick to burn.

Su Yi slowly opened her eyes, her body still unable to move, but she felt she was no longer at the Yuelai Inn. In fact, she had been feverish and drowsy, only vaguely aware she was taken out of Yuelai Inn, then onto a carriage, to a medical clinic, as she was very familiar with the strong smell of medicine because she often visited clinics due to her poor health.

But it seemed she was carried into another carriage and traveled a long distance. Half-conscious, she felt as if she had left the city.

Then, she felt herself being brought into a room, drowsy, as if someone was undressing her. She also heard a man’s voice, pleasant and young.

Then, she felt herself being pierced, and not just once.

The pain made her cry out and even subconsciously wanted to stop them...

But it was all in vain.

Eventually, she felt a wave of fatigue and fell asleep.

She didn’t know how long she slept, but she awoke feeling less groggy, her mind clearer, and the back of her head and body less sore.

She could move her body, but her strength hadn’t fully returned. She propped herself up on her elbow to sit up, discovering her clothes were no longer her own, changed into a new set, of ordinary fabric but with a faint soap fragrance.

Where was she?

Su Yi was full of questions.

Ling Yu’Er, arranged to take care of Su Yi, pushed open the door, carrying a bowl of room-temperature rice porridge with vegetables and meat. Su Yi hadn’t eaten solid food for a long time, having been given several rounds of herbal decoctions, which weren’t filling or nourishing.
