Hearing the old Chinese doctor speak, my heart skipped a beat.
My mind was struck by lightning.
"Grandpa Gao, you must cure my grandma."
Grandpa Gao nodded:
"I will do my best.
I'll give your grandma acupuncture needles later.
If she wakes up, everything will be fine.
If she doesn't wake up, I'll suggest sending her to the city hospital.
See if Western medicine can treat it..."
Grandpa Gao's words chilled me to the bone.
But at this moment, Grandma's pulse was weak.
At the same time, I could also feel that Grandma's Yang energy was very low.
It was not suitable for bumpy travel at night.
Once she encountered some Yin wind or unclean spirits, it might extinguish my Grandma's Yang energy.
So, I nodded repeatedly:
"Okay Grandpa Gao, please perform the acupuncture quickly!"
Grandpa Gao grunted and took out the silver needles from his medicine box.
This Grandpa Gao was a good friend of my grandfather and a famous old Chinese doctor in our ten-mile radius.
His acupuncture skills might rival those of Daoist Master Tang.
After taking out the silver needles, Grandpa Gao proceeded to prick Grandma's head.
Although he was over seventy, his hand was exceptionally steady when performing acupuncture.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, watching silently.
I held my breath, hoping Grandma would wake up.
After Grandpa Gao inserted more than a dozen needles.
Grandma, who had been unconscious, suddenly coughed lightly, "cough cough."
Then, Grandma slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Grandma open her eyes, I instantly showed surprise:
"Grandma!"
I was overjoyed and very excited.
The villagers in the room also rejoiced.
"Auntie is awake!"
"That's great, Sister-in-law Qin, you're finally awake."
"..."
A group of people chattered incessantly.
Grandma opened her eyes and saw so many people with me, looking somewhat surprised:
"What, what's wrong? Why are there so many people in the room?
Zewa, didn't you go to Qingshi Village to help the Wei family with their matters?
What happened to me, I feel so weak all over."
Grandma seemed very confused, as if she had no idea something had happened to her.
"Grandma, don't you remember anything?"
I asked suspiciously, further suspecting that Grandma might have been attacked by evil spirits.
Grandma frowned slightly and shook her head...
Seeing Grandma shake her head, the surrounding people quickly reminded her:
"Sister-in-law Qin, you just jumped into the well..."
"..."
"I, I jumped into the well? Why, why don't I remember?
I only remember someone knocking on the door.
When I went to open it, I saw an old woman.
The old woman smiled at me, and I don't remember what happened after that..."
Grandma tried hard to recall.
Hearing these words, the surrounding people began to discuss.
"Sister-in-law Qin, you must have been possessed by evil spirits!"
"Yes, yes, Aunt Qin, you must have been led astray by those demons!"
"..."
Everyone spoke up.
Grandma also listened, looking bewildered.
The more Grandma tried to remember, the more uncomfortable she seemed to become.
Finally, she couldn't help but cover her head:
"My head hurts so much..."
Seeing Grandma looking uncomfortable.
I quickly took Grandma's hand:
"Grandma, don't think about it, rest first."
I covered Grandma with a quilt, letting her sleep for a while.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Gao had finished removing the needles and was tidying his medicine box.
Third Grandpa said to the surrounding villagers:
"Now Qin Ze's Grandma needs a good rest, everyone please go back!"
Seeing Grandma wake up, the villagers were still puzzled, but they didn't disturb her further.
After comforting me and Grandma, they all turned and left my house one by one.
After the villagers left, only Grandma and I were left in the room.
But at this moment, my expression was solemn.
Looking at the sleeping Grandma, I was filled with worry.
What kind of creature wanted to harm my Grandma?
Could it be, as Uncle Wu said, the remnants of the old Yellow Weasels from the mountain?
I thought to myself.
At the same time, I stayed by Grandma's side, praying for her safety.
For now, I could only wait until tomorrow to call my master.
To see how to resolve and deal with such a situation.
I took a deep breath and watched Grandma fall asleep.
I stayed up all night.
During the night, there were no more abnormalities; it was very peaceful.
When morning arrived.
Old Chinese doctor Grandpa Gao brought some traditional Chinese medicine, asking me to decoct it into one bowl for Grandma to drink.
After seeing Grandpa Gao off and brewing the medicine, it was already eight in the morning.
Grandma also stirred awake drowsily.
After waking up, Grandma's complexion was extremely poor, and her Yang energy was very weak.
It was just a tiny bit, as if a breath could blow it out.
Grandma leaned against the headboard, looking like she had aged seven or eight years overnight.
I had thought all night, feeling that this matter was inseparable from the old Yellow Weasels.
It must be that the remnants from Xiaoyao Lou were not completely eradicated, and that's why they caused trouble for my Grandma.
I felt a bit guilty and said to Grandma:
"I'm sorry Grandma, it's my fault for implicating you.
It must be the old Yellow Weasels from the mountain who targeted you."
Although Grandma looked exhausted.
She still patted my head and smiled at me:
"Zewa! What are you talking about?
Bad things happen everywhere, how can you manage it all by yourself?
You now have true abilities.
And you've done great things for the village, Grandma is happy rather than upset!
Grandma is fine..."
The more Grandma spoke like this, the more guilty I felt.
And the more hatred I felt towards the demons that harmed my Grandma.
I secretly vowed that I would not rest until I destroyed them...
