Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Bencao Tang!
Bencao Tang was located in the suburbs of Yancheng. Although distant from the city center, the number of people who came here for treatment exceeded those visiting city hospitals.
All because of one of the leading Divine Doctors in the Qin state area—Li De'an.
Wanhao hurriedly brought Luoluo and others to a sickroom in the backyard of Bencao Tang.
In the sickroom, Lin Luoluo was lying in bed while a white-haired elder was administering acupuncture. Beside them stood a beautiful woman.
"Yuzhen, how is Luoluo doing?"
Wanhao quickly asked in a hushed tone.
This beautiful woman was Luoluo's mother, named Bai Yuzhen.
Bai Yuzhen looked anguished.
"The Divine Doctor Li said that Luoluo's condition is very complicated...."
Just then, the previously unconscious Lin Luoluo suddenly began to tremble, with a look of extreme pain evident on her pale face.
"It hurts...."
Lin Luoluo voiced her pain unclearly.
Bai Yuzhen was full of anxiety and distress.
"Luoluo, what's wrong?"
Wanhao also panicked.
"Divine Doctor Li, what's wrong with my daughter?"
Li De'an did not speak but continued with his acupuncture.
"Everyone shut up and don't disturb the Divine Doctor Li."
Lin Chaodong growled softly.
Although he was very anxious, he remained composed.
Zhou Yu had already examined Lin Luoluo's condition before, and he had an idea about it but didn't rush to intervene.
He was actually keen to observe how this reputed Divine Doctor would perform the acupuncture.
After all, apart from the old man, he had never encountered any other doctors.
Under the anxious gazes of the Lin Family, Divine Doctor Li administered three needles in succession.
After the three needles, the symptoms of Lin Luoluo visibly alleviated at a speed perceptible to the naked eye.
Li De'an turned around, looked at the Lin Family, and said,
"All good now; Miss Lin is no longer in serious danger. Unless something unexpected happens, she should wake up shortly."
The Lin Family sighed with great relief.
Wanhao quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Divine Doctor Li, what exactly is wrong with my daughter?"
Li De'an spoke slowly:
"Miss Lin's condition is indeed very unusual. She has been poisoned by some sort of mind-altering toxin."
"Poisoned???"
Wanhao exclaimed, losing his composure.
"This... How is that possible? Divine Doctor Li, could you have made a mistake in your assessment?"
The Divine Doctor furrowed his brow.
"What? Are you questioning me?"
"No, no, no."
Wanhao was startled and quickly shook his head.
Li De'an was a renowned Divine Doctor with strong connections in the Qin state area, not someone the Lin Family could afford to offend.
Wanhao hastily explained.
"Divine Doctor Li, you misunderstood. I just found it... unbelievable. Who could have poisoned my daughter?"
"I wouldn't know that. Ask her when she wakes up."
Having said this, the Divine Doctor Li was about to leave.
At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke.
"Wait."
"Divine Doctor Li, Miss Lin's condition is not as simple as you described. Her condition has not improved."
"Hmm?"
Li De'an frowned immediately and looked at Zhou Yu.
Wanhao's expression changed. He was already displeased with Zhou Yu, and at this moment, he immediately rebuked,
"What are you talking about?"
"The Divine Doctor Li is among the finest in Qin state, how dare an unschooled boy like you question him?"
Zhou Yu spoke calmly:
"I also understand medicine."
"You know nothing…"
Wanhao shouted angrily.
"Wanhao, shut up."
Lin Chaodong directly rebuked him.
Lin Wanhao was full of anger, but he didn't dare to explode and had to suppress it.
Lin Chaodong looked towards Divine Doctor Li.
"Divine Doctor Li, my granddaughter, she…Is she really alright now?"
Hearing this, Li De'an was somewhat displeased.
He had practiced medicine for so many years, rarely being questioned repeatedly.
"Since Mr. Lin doubts me, then take her away, and from now on, the Lin Family should not come to me anymore."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanhao panicked.
This could escalate into a big issue.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Divine Doctor Li, my father didn't mean that…"
Just then, Lin Luoluo began trembling again on the hospital bed, her face, from which the dark spots had just faded, started showing them once again, spreading at a visible speed.
Lin Luoluo's condition worsened drastically.
"Divine Doctor Li, what is happening to my granddaughter?"
Lin Chaodong shouted anxiously.
Li De'an turned his head to look, his complexion drastically changed, and he immediately grabbed Lin Luoluo's wrist.
"This… toxic blood attacking the heart! How could this happen…"
He quickly began to administer emergency acupuncture, but Lin Luoluo's condition did not improve at all.
The turn of events with Lin Luoluo completely exceeded Li De'an's understanding.
Li De'an panicked, sweat pouring from his forehead.
"In this situation, I… am powerless to reverse it!"
"What??"
The Lin Family members were stunned.
Bai Yuzhen felt everything go dark, and she fainted.
Lin Wanhao looked miserable.
"Luoluo…"
Lin Chaodong could no longer remain calm.
"Divine Doctor Li, no matter what, you must save my granddaughter, you cannot give up…please, I beg you."
Li De'an wanted to save her too. Moments ago, he had been full of confident promises, but in a blink of an eye, the patient was critically ill. If she truly died, it would deal a huge blow to his reputation as a divine doctor.
But he was truly at a loss.
Just then, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke up.
"Divine Doctor Li, use the needle, Po Hu Acupoint, three inches three points."
Hearing this, Li De'an frowned and looked towards Zhou Yu.
"That's a lethal acupoint, using the needle in this way would only make her suffer more in her passing."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanhao, interpreting the young man from the mountains as still trying to harm his daughter at such a moment, burst into fury, seeming ready to devour someone.
"Get the hell out of here, if anything happens to my daughter, I won't let you get away with it…"
Zhou Yu ignored Lin Wanhao, calmly looking at Li De'an.
"Divine Doctor Li, only by putting her in a mortal place can there be a chance for life. Now, do you have any other methods?"
Li De'an paused, then hesitated for a moment before taking out a silver needle and following Zhou Yu's direction, he plunged in the needle.
Something miraculous happened.
As soon as the needle went in, the pain on Lin Luoluo's face quickly diminished.
"Does it work?"
Li De'an could hardly believe it.
He quickly asked:
"What's next?"
"Po Hu Acupoint, coordinated with Xiao Xu acupoint, two inches four points."
"Heart Shu Acupoint, coordinated inside and out, five inches two points."
"…"
Zhou Yu said one sentence, and Li De'an inserted a needle, in the blink of an eye, seven to eight needles went down, and Lin Luoluo's condition visibly improved.
The Lin Family was astonished.
Lin Wanhao, holding Bai Yuzhen, nervously watched Lin Luoluo, while Lin Chaodong looked deeply at Zhou Yu.
Truly worthy of his descendant, indeed extraordinary.
Soon, Lin Luoluo's condition was completely stabilized.
Li De'an touched Lin Luoluo's pulse, kept checking repeatedly, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's okay now! This time it's really okay."
At this moment, the way Li De'an looked at Zhou Yu had completely changed.
"Young friend, may I ask, what exactly happened to Miss Lin just now?"
