Chapter 551: Gritting His Teeth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Last year, Yin Huaixi had started a massacre in the North. Everyone in the world thought that it was because he hated the Di people.

In reality, that was not the case—

Yin Huaixi’s actions were to intimidate the Di people so that they wouldn’t run to the border city of the North from time to time, making him tired and worried Yu Youyao.

Although there was a substitute in the North, Chang Ningbo was in charge of the battle, the Great General of the Huo Cavalry was with him, and the 1,000 Hidden Dragon Army was also arranged in the You army.

The Hidden Dragon Army was suitable for long-range raids. After studying the weaknesses of the Di people, he had arranged his troops and specialized in countering the Di people’s army tactics. It could be said that he could defeat the enemy to win. historical

However, he did not care about anything else. Only Little Miss Yu was someone he valued the most, and the soldiers under him were in his eyes. He had to go over and take a look to feel at ease.

Uncle Sun pretended to sigh. “It’s because his health isn’t good. Every time he returns to the North, he knows you’re worried about him. He wants to recover quickly.”

Yu Youyao’s expression darkened. She quickly asked, “Will an early acupuncture treatment cause harm to his body?”

Every time her cousin returned to the North, she tried her best to act as if nothing had happened. She tried her best to pack up for him and prepare all kinds of incense medicine that were beneficial to his health. She hoped that he wouldn’t hurt himself from the long journey.

She had thought that she had done a good job.

Little did she know that her cousin had seen through her long ago.

Uncle Sun quickly shook his head. “That won’t happen. It’s just that the treatment process will be more painful and difficult. Now that he has undergone three sessions, his legs have already regained feeling. His condition is almost stable?’

Yu Youyao heaved a sigh of relief. Her mouth was dry and bitter. “He used to endure acupuncture like today..” Was it painful?

In less than ten minutes after the acupuncture, her cousin was drenched in sweat, and his legs were twitching. She saw her cousin holding the armrest of the couch tightly. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and his breathing was chaotic.

Previously, when her cousin’s leg disease acted up, he hadn’t been in so much pain.

Uncle Sun shook his head. “Previously, he didn’t feel much in his legs, so he couldn’t feel much pain. However, as the treatment went deeper, the feeling in his legs gradually recovered, and the pain increased day by day.”

Yu Youyao’s face turned pale. “You mean, Cousin’s pain will increase every day in the future?

Uncle Sun nodded. “For at least five treatment sessions. His leg will recover for the most part before the pain lessens.”

Yu Youyao couldn’t take it anymore and suddenly said, “Can Cousin’s body take it? Can we pause the treatment and wait for Cousin’s body to recuperate for a while before continuing?

Uncle Sun shook his head. “No, there’s no turning back. He only has this one

chance in his life. If he’s not cured in one go, he won’t be able to be cured in the future.”

He had originally planned to help him treat his legs with acupuncture this winter after a year of recuperation.

However, Zhou Linghuai couldn’t wait anymore!

Not long after the new year, he wanted to treat his leg. He couldn’t persuade him otherwise. He also couldn’t tell Little Miss Yu that he couldn’t handle Zhou Linghuai’s bad temper, so he could only agree.

If he was a year early, the process would naturally be different.

Yu Youyao was very disappointed. “Is there any way to relieve his pain? Uncle Sun shook his head. “How can there be a way? I’ve tried long ago. He can only grit his teeth and endure the pain. There are a total of seven treatment sessions. He’ll be fine after two more treatment sessions.”

Yu Youyao felt terrible and was angry at her cousin.

This person looked very obedient on the surface and usually agreed to everything she asked. However, he always did whatever he wanted and hid everything in his heart. It was always worrisome.

However, she couldn’t blame her cousin.

Her cousin had been in a wheelchair for five to six years. He hoped more than anyone else that he would be able to stand up quickly, and she was forced to hope that her cousin would recover soon and not have to endure the pain in his leg.

Yu Youyao took a deep breath and calmed down a little. “Cousin has already undergone three treatments. When will he recover?

Uncle Sun pondered for a moment. “After the acupuncture today, he should be able to barely stand up. In the future, he’ll practice standing every day and hold onto the wall for an incense stick to burn. After four treatments, he’ll definitely be fine.”

Yu Youyao was finally in a better mood.

Uncle Sun sighed slightly. “If you’re really worried, just like today. In the future, come over every day to accompany him. With you by his side, he won’t have to hold on forever.”

In the previous three sessions, he had spent a total of 21 days. Every time he performed acupuncture, Zhou Linghuai gritted his teeth and endured it. He had never fainted halfway like today.

Zhou Linghuai was extremely guarded. Even if he only had half a breath left, he had to hold on to his consciousness and swallow his last breath.

It was the same even in front of him.

Only in front of Yu Youyao was he willing to let down his guard.

Yu Youyao nodded. “I’ll accompany Cousin in the future!”

When the time was up, the trembling golden needles finally stopped moving.

Uncle Sun took out the needle unhurriedly. Zhou Linghuai was still unconscious and had yet to wake up. Unknowingly, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his expression became much calmer.

Yu Youyao finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Is today’s treatment over?

Uncle Sun nodded. “When he wakes up, give him another bowl of

Yang-nourishing Five Soup. This is a blood regulating medicine. It has the effect of nourishing the qi, reviving the blood, and clearing the meridians. It specializes in treating paralysis caused by various reasons. He’s a person with weak qi and blood stasis.”

The medicine was brewed in the room, and the bitter smell of the medicine filled the entire room.

Thinking about how her cousin had sweated a lot previously, Yu Youyao called Chang An over and asked him to get a basin of hot water to help her cousin wash up and change into dry clothes so that he could sleep more comfortably.

Chang An immediately did as he was told.

Yu Youyao avoided the inner room and waited outside. She watched as Chang An carried the copper basin and quickly went in and out to help her cousin.

She couldn’t ignore all the differences between men and women.

There was a difference between the teachings of women and the upbringing of women.

Chang An was quick to help her cousin clean up.

Yu Youyao quickly entered the room. Zhou Linghuai had already woken up and was leaning weakly against the couch.

Her cousin was sweating a lot and was definitely a little dehydrated. She quickly went to the table and poured a cup of warm water. She dripped a drop of spiritual dewdrop into the water and brought it over. “Cousin, are you feeling better?”

Although he had been unconscious for less than half an hour, Zhou Linghuai had fallen asleep deeply just now and was still in a daze.

He tilted his head to look at Yu Youyao. He recalled that before he fainted, he had held Yu Youyao’s soft hand and confirmed with her that she would always be by his side.

Zhou Linghuai subconsciously said, “You haven’t left?”

Yu Youyao nodded. “After Uncle Sun helped Cousin with the acupuncture, Cousin sweated a lot. I asked Chang An to help you tidy up and hid in the outer room. I waited outside.”

Zhou Linghuai smiled..
