Chapter 81 - A Warning About Paralysis
Chapter 81: A Warning About Paralysis
The next morning, Qiao Yue and Qiao Jing got on a plane to S-Country. Although Qiao Jing had suggested that they take the Qiao’s private jet, Qiao Yue felt it was too ostentatious and refused.
For the convenience of visiting the old master, Qiao Jing’s assistant booked them rooms at a hotel near the hospital Old Master Qiao was at. The eldest son of the Qiao family, Qiao Xuan, would also arrive in S-Country in the afternoon.
Qiao Yue received a text message from Lu Ying as soon as she stepped into her room.
“I saw you just now. Free to come out for a get-together?”
“What get-together? What would Qiao Jing think if he saw us together?” Qiao Yue quickly typed and sent this message.
After more thought, Qiao Yue typed another message, “Where did you see me?”
“In the hallway. You passed by my room when I opened the door. It’s been a long time since we last met. Why don’t you sneak out tonight and we find a place to compare notes on acupuncture?
The acupuncture that Lu Ying was talking about was not the kind used in martial arts in wuxia novels, but the kind used as medical treatment. There were many aspects of acupuncture. For example, which acupoint to insert the needle, how deep the needle should be inserted, to achieve what kind of effect. Countless practice was required before the practitioner could do this with precision. It was also necessary for the practitioner to have a helper who’s proficient in acupuncture so that any problem that arose could be solved immediately.
Qiao Yue raised her eyebrows and replied impolitely, “What notes do we need to compare? Compare who will paralyze a patient first by way of acupuncture?”
Qiao Yue had indeed done this before. In her first year studying traditional Chinese medicine, when she graduated from inserting needles into herself to inserting needles into others. The subject of her experiment was naturally Lu Ying, under the supervision of the older Dr. Lu.
Qiao Yue grew up skating on thin ice and surviving hardships, so she was very bold. She didn’t hesitate at all when inserting the first needle into Lu Ying. When she was inserting the second needle, a flying bug suddenly burrowed into Lu Ying’s nose causing him to sneeze. Although Qiao Yue withdrew the needle in time, the needle still went a little deep on that acupoint and caused Lu Ying to collapse into the single bed. Both Qiao Yue and the older Dr. Lu were shocked.
After the older Dr. Lu’s examination, Lu Ying was diagnosed with hemiplegia. Qiao Yue then watched the older Dr. Lu demonstrate how to treat hemiplegia. The older Dr. Lu inserted 32 needles in total and managed to cure Lu Ying.
That was the first time Lu Ying was traumatized by Qiao Yue. Although it wasn’t Qiao Yue’s fault, she did almost paralyze him. After that incident, Lu Ying didn’t let Qiao Yue get close to him for half a month.
Seeing that Qiao Yue brought up his sore point again, Lu Ying hurriedly replied, “It’s fine if you don’t want to come out. I’ll find your eldest brother when he arrives later to discuss the old master’s condition. You can come along too.”
Qiao Yue thought about it and agreed. She had never met the eldest son of the Qiao family, Qiao Xuan. She was also curious about the person Qiao Yu tried to emulate all the time.
But what Qiao Yue didn’t expect was that she waited from noon to night, and even took a nap, before Qiao Jing knock on her door to tell her that Qiao Xuan had arrived.
Qiao Yue woke up from her dream, rubbing her eyes. It wasn’t a pleasant dream. She dreamed of her mother’s death. She didn’t know if it was because of Qiao Xin that she kept thinking about what her mother had stolen. She hadn’t had a chance to ask Qiao Jing about it yet, and decided to wait until she was done visiting the old master.
“Brother, please go ahead first. I’ll wash my face quickly and come.” Qiao Yue shouted at the door.
As soon as Qiao Yue finished speaking, Qiao Jing’s voice came from outside the door, “Alright, we’ll be in Room 5706.”
Qiao Yue washed her face and looked at herself in the mirror. For a moment, she was in a trance.
She actually looked a lot like her mother when she was young, but as she grew up and experienced many things, there was a bit of ferocity in her eyes, and she looked more fearless. She looked a little androgynous while her mother looked delicate even in photos, with bright eyes, beautiful but unattainable.
Realizing that her thoughts had gone astray again, Qiao Yue quickly collected herself and went into the bedroom to change. Perhaps she was used to the leisurely life in the mountain village that the developed the habit of daydreaming. If this happened in the past, she would have died hundreds of times over.
After straightening her clothes in front of the mirror, Qiao Yue left the room.
Qiao Jing was staying in the room next to hers, and Room 5706 was two doors down.
It was Assistant Zheng who opened the door. Qiao Yue peered into the room and saw two people she didn’t know.
