Chapter 207 Acupuncture

207

"Ten years?" Xu Taiping closed his eyes and said, "Is it only ten years?"

"Increasing the strength of your body through high-intensity training in a short period of time consumes your original vitality. This vitality could have maintained your life span of eighty or ninety years, but it was consumed in advance and converted into the strength and speed of your body. Therefore, your lifespan will also be reduced accordingly. A person's body can directly reflect a person's experience. I can feel that while your body has gained extremely high strength, it has also suffered tremendous damage. Each of these injuries of yours, while making your body stronger, also makes your vitality continue to be overdrawn. If you come to me for acupuncture every month, I can keep you alive until Twelve years. But you have to give me about 30 million for this." Hua Bailu said.

"Thirty million, if you can live for two more years, that's a good deal." Xu Taiping said.

"But there is a premise that you should try to reduce the consumption of vitality as much as possible, that is to say, do not overload your body. Otherwise, your life span may be shortened further." Hua Bailu said.

"Is there no way to make me live longer?" Xu Taiping asked.

"There is no way, at least I have no way, but you don't have to worry. You can't always tell about life. Some people deserve to die, but they can always live, and some people deserve to live, but they will die early. At that time, a doctor said that I would not live to be twenty-five, but now I am twenty-eight, and that doctor just died of cerebral hemorrhage the year before last." Hua Bailu said.

"I understand." Xu Taiping nodded.

"You don't have to be afraid, death is something that everyone must face." Hua Bailu said.

"To be honest, I'm not afraid of death." Xu Taiping looked at the ground and said to himself, "I know what death feels like. I have seen too many people die in front of me, too many."

"Maybe you weren't afraid before, but now, you are." Hua Bailu patted Xu Taiping's back and said, "Just when you said you could only live ten years, your back muscles contracted uncontrollably. Now, your body temperature and blood flow have accelerated, which proves that you are nervous. I think it may be because of the girl outside. People who are not afraid of death will start to be afraid after they have a bond, because after you die , you will never see the person you love again, and your lover will not be able to see you."

"Maybe." Xu Taiping nodded. In the past, he was indeed not afraid of death, but now that he heard what Hua Bailu said, he really felt that it made sense. If he died, he would not be able to see Xia Jinxuan. How uncomfortable.

"Next, my needles will pierce thirty-two acupuncture points on your body. I will open up the stagnation in your meridians. It will be extremely painful for you. This is a medicine to calm the nerves. Take it and you will fall asleep. If you take it, you won't feel the pain." Hua Bailu handed Xu Taiping a round pill.

"No need." Xu Taiping shook his head and said, "I am used to hardship."

"That's fine, but let me make it clear first that even if you don't take the medicine, the money will not be refunded to you." Hua Bailu said.

"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded.

With a creak, the door was opened.

Ah Jiu walked in from the door carrying a brazier, and then placed the brazier under the bed where Xu Taiping was lying.

The brazier gave off bursts of hot breath, and these breaths penetrated the bed board and entered Xu Taiping's body.

Not long after, Xu Taiping felt hot all over, and the temperature of the whole room also became much higher.

It was midsummer, and the temperature in this room had already exceeded forty degrees.

Hua Bailu was wearing a white coat, not a drop of sweat on his body, and Xu Taiping didn't sweat either.

Hua Bailu took out the silver needle from the wooden box and inserted it into Xu Taiping's body one by one, starting from the neck and continuing to the soles of his feet. It was densely packed with at least hundreds of needles, even on the groin.

Beads of sweat began to appear on Xu Taiping's body. At the same time, many blood vessels on his body swelled strangely, the blood inside them surged rapidly, and the muscles of his body began to spasm unconsciously.

Xu Taiping looked at the ground expressionlessly. Sweat dripped down his face and wet a large area of ​​the floor. Severe pain constantly stimulated his nerves, but he did not say a word at all.

Hua Bailu's white coat was soaked with sweat. Each needle dropped would consume a lot of energy for her. She had to ensure that every needle was inserted into a key place. Xu Taiping's muscles were too strong. High, it would take a lot of force just to pierce his muscles.

After all the needles were pricked, Hua Bailu walked to the side, picked up a large amount of incense, and then lit it.

The flames danced on the incense. Hua Bailu opened his mouth and blew hard to extinguish the flames. Then he walked to Xu Taiping with the incense.

"The pain you will endure next will be several times greater than before. Are you sure you won't take my medicine?" Hua Bailu asked.

"OK." Xu Taiping said.

"Okay." Hua Bailu nodded and pressed the handful of incense toward Xu Taiping's tailbone.

Bah, bah, bah! !

A burst of white smoke floated from Xu Taiping's tailbone. The white smoke had a fragrant aroma and the smell of roasted meat.

Xu Taiping's body continued to spasm, and the veins on his neck had completely swollen, but even so, Xu Taiping's face remained as calm as before.

Hua Bailu picked up the large handful of incense, which left a large burnt mark on Xu Taiping's tailbone. Then, she threw the incense into the trash can nearby.

"Lie here, I'll come back in ten minutes." After Hua Bailu finished speaking, he walked out of the room.

Outside the room, Xia Jinxuan waited nervously, as if she was outside the operating room.

Seeing Hua Bailu come out, Xia Jinxuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How are you, doctor?"

"It's just treating a cold, not surgery. Why are you so nervous?" Hua Bailu asked.

"A cold worth 250,000 yuan is not simple no matter how you look at it." Xia Jinxuan said.

"You little girl, do you know how to be sarcastic? Your lover is fine. I'll just go in and give him a few injections later." Hua Bailu waved his hand and said.

At this time, an old woman suddenly walked in outside the courtyard.

The old woman was walking very slowly on crutches, and all the hair on her head had turned white. She seemed to be quite old, but she seemed to be in good spirits.

"Xiaohua, I'm here to find you." The old lady said with a smile as she walked.

"Hey, Grandma Li, look at my memory. Today I should deliver medicine to you, but I forgot about this busy schedule. I will get medicine for you right now." Hua Bailu said as he walked towards the old lady and helped her to the hall. position, then walked to the side hall and started to grab the medicine.

"Grandma, I see you are in good spirits. Why are you sick?" Xia Jinxuan asked curiously.

"I've been feeling dizzy recently. I took Xiaohua's medicine, which is quite effective. I'll come here today to get another patch. Xiaohua said that if I take this patch again, my illness will be cured." The old lady said with a smile.

"You are so rich that you can get medical treatment here!" Xia Jinxuan sighed.

"Are you rich? I don't have much money, old lady. This medical treatment is not expensive." said the old lady.

"Grandma Li, okay, here's the medicine for you." Hua Bailu walked up to the old woman with a small bag and handed it to her.

"Okay. This is the cost of the medicine. Take it." The old lady took out a five-dollar bill from her pocket and handed it to Hua Bailu.

"Thank you, Grandma Li." Hua Bailu took the five yuan and put it in his pocket. Then he helped the old woman out of the yard. After watching the old woman leave, she returned to the hall.

"Why are you like this? People ask you to get medicine for only five yuan. Why do we need 250,000 yuan to treat a cold?" Xia Jinxuan said dissatisfied.

"The chain around your neck costs hundreds of thousands per piece. Your bag, shoes, and all the items in your outfit cost at least one million. For you rich people, two hundred and fifty thousand is nothing." "Grandma Li has no children and is a five-guarantee household. The community gives her 200 yuan for living expenses every month. Five yuan is more important to her than 250,000 yuan to you," Hua Bailu said.

"So you're not a traitorous doctor," Xia Jinxuan said.

"As for me, I like money, especially the money of you rich people. Don't blame me for ripping you off. You have so much money, one bag is hundreds of thousands, and you don't care about the small amount of money I robbing you." Hua Bailu With that said, he walked into the room where Xu Taiping was treated.

Xu Taiping was still lying face down, looking like a hedgehog.

Hua Bailu didn't say much, pulled out all the needles on Xu Taiping's body, and then said, "Turn around."

"Turn around? Is this the case now?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Otherwise? To doctors, the body is just a pile of meat." Hua Bailu said.

"Okay." Xu Taiping nodded and turned around.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be really good at it." Hua Bailu teased, and then started to prick Xu Taiping's body with a needle, starting from top to bottom, one needle at a time.

"Wait a minute." Xu Taiping suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Hua Bailu asked with a frown.

"Do we need to prick it there too?" Second Lieutenant Xu Taiping raised his head a little, looked at Hua Bailu's needle, and asked.

"There is an acupuncture point here, which is responsible for a person's essence and blood. Do you want to prick it or not?" Hua Bailu asked.

"Then you have to be careful about this, don't get damaged." Xu Taiping warned.

"Look, I scared you so much. I didn't see you so nervous even though you were pierced all over your body just now. Man, it's true that the lower body is more important." Hua Bailu said, and pierced the silver needle in his hand hard. .

Xu Taiping's body trembled for a moment, and then he heard Hua Bailu shout, "Oh no, it's broken!"
