Traveling through the Lotus Tower: Li Lianhua, you must live well

"Sister Su, how many times should I take a medicinal bath? I feel like I'm almost getting marinated."

Fang Duobing, who had just finished taking a medicinal bath, lay on the bed like a turtle with its cover turned over, flapping his limbs and asking Su Ci weakly.

"It's still early. You'll have to soak in this medicinal bath for half a year." Su Ci answered him while taking out a silver needle.

Then he lifted the quilt covering his back and inserted the needles into the acupuncture points quickly, fiercely and accurately.

"Ah!" A feeling of pain and numbness rushed to Fang Duobing's forehead, making him scream out. He then immediately covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming out again.

Young boys still care a lot about their reputation.

Su Ci patted his suddenly tense back and said, "Relax, or you will feel worse later."

Fang Duobing wanted to cry but had no tears. His face turned red. "Sister Su, I want to relax, but it's really uncomfortable. It's okay. You continue. I'll take it slow and you'll get used to it."

Su Ci looked at the well-behaved and sensible Fang Duobing and felt a little pity for him.

He is clearly a teenager, but because he has been weak and sickly since childhood, his body is as thin as a bamboo pole and he looks not much older than a child of seven or eight years old.

Yesterday, Su Ci came to ask for medicine, and the owner He Xiaohui gave it to her readily.

But he also put forward a condition, hoping that Su Ci could help his son Fang Duobing cure his illness. If he could cure him, Tianji Villa would give him another generous reward.

At the beginning, after Su Ci's reputation as a miracle doctor spread, He Xiaohui sent someone to invite her to treat Fang Duobing. However, Li Lianhua's condition had not improved at that time, so she did not dare to leave easily and could only decline politely. However, she also promised to treat Fang Duobing as soon as she could get away.

Because of this favor, Su Ci was able to meet He Xiaohui smoothly and successfully asked for medicine.

Su Ci performed acupuncture quickly, and as time passed, Fang Duobing's back was filled with silver needles, like a hedgehog.

Su Ci: "This needle needs to be inserted for 25 minutes, you can't move around."

Fang Duobing nodded obediently: "I know, I won't move."

Looking at Fang Duobing's well-behaved appearance, Su Ci smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, I can help you get well. As long as you take the medicine obediently and do as I say, I will make sure you can stand up within three months."

Fang Duobing's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at her with wet eyes and asked expectantly, "Really? Then can I practice martial arts and swordsmanship soon?"

Su Ci laughed. It turned out that every boy had a martial arts dream of traveling the world with a sword.

She nodded: "Yes, after you stand up and recuperate for a while, you can practice martial arts."

Fang Duobing said excitedly, "That's great, thank you Sister Su. I will definitely be obedient, no matter how bitter the medicine is, I will take it, no matter how uncomfortable the medicinal bath is. As long as I can practice martial arts, I am willing to do anything."

Su Ci asked in confusion: "Why do you have to learn martial arts? With your family background, it doesn't matter if you don't learn martial arts."

Fang Duobing smiled, like a kitten that had stolen some fish: "You don't understand, this is a secret, I haven't told anyone, not even my parents know."

Su Ci shook his head in amusement and didn't ask any more questions.

She poured a glass of water and drank it slowly, waiting for the time to be up so that she could remove the needle.

Fang Duobing was a restless person, and acupuncture made him uncomfortable, so he tried hard to find topics to chat with Su Ci and divert his attention.

Su Ci accompanied him from time to time, and Fang Duobing didn't mind. Sometimes he asked himself questions and answered them to cheer himself up.

Time passed minute by minute. Although Fang Duobing tried hard not to care about the discomfort in his body, the pain and numbness caused by acupuncture still made his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Sister Su, I... I feel so uncomfortable. My whole body is painful and itchy, as if I'm being bitten by ants." Fang Duobing's voice trembled slightly.

"Don't worry, let me take a look." Su Ci said, and walked over quickly to check.

Then, he injected some of his inner energy into Fang Duobing's sick body to help him relieve his discomfort.

Su Ci: "It's okay. Your discomfort is a normal physiological phenomenon. It means that your body is absorbing the effects of the medicine and repairing your body. This is a good thing. I will transfer some internal energy to you. Are you feeling better now?"

Fang Duobing nodded, and despite the discomfort, he gave Su Ci a soft smile: "I understand. Don't worry, I will stick to it. This is much more comfortable than soaking in the cold spring before. I can do it, Sister Su."

Su Ci patted his head encouragingly.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Su Ci removed the silver needles one by one, and Fang Duobing breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if he had escaped death, "It's finally over, I'm alive."

Su Ci: "Starting from today, you will have acupuncture every five days, take a medicinal bath every day, and remember to take the medicine prescribed for you every day. I will help you adjust the treatment plan in a month."

After hearing this, Fang Duobing screamed: "I am so miserable~"

Su Ci glanced at Fang Duobing who had become lively with a half-smile, deliberately teasing him: "Someone was just patting his chest and saying that he could hold on, why is he like this now~ Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Fang Duobing glanced at Su Ci guiltily and smiled flatteringly: "Sister Su, just because I can insist doesn't mean I am willing."

Then, he pretended to say, "Oh, I'm so pitiful. It's so hard for me."

Su Ci ignored his antics and said coldly, "Come back at this time in five days, understand?"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Fang Duobing alone in bed sighing.
