Chapter 16: I Want to Borrow Something from You

Looking at Zeng Yu's eager face, Wu Xiaoshan couldn't help but feel a softness in his heart, yet recalling the words of Xin Lei and others just moments ago, he suppressed the impulse welling up from within and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, Doctor Zeng, I don't have a medical practice license; I can't save anyone."

By Xin Lei's side, when she heard Zeng Yu say Old man Qin was beyond help, a trace of sadness sprouted in her heart, but now, hearing the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but show a hint of amazement in her eyes.

She was very familiar with Zeng Yu's background and of course knew that Zeng Yu's medical skills were also very exquisite, yet she never imagined that Zeng Yu would ask Wu Xiaoshan for help.

Looking at Wu Xiaoshan's indifferent face, Xin Lei felt a bout of daze, could it be that this guy's medical skills were really that formidable?

In fact, the moment Wu Xiaoshan first saw Old man Qin, a method to treat him flashed through his mind instantly.

The reason he didn't act immediately was, first, he knew Old man Qin wouldn't succumb so quickly, and second, he wanted Xin Lei to personally ask him for help.

After all, Xin Lei and the others had publicly placed a big hat on his head, and if he obediently treated Old man Qin now, wouldn't he be bullied to death in the future?

Doctor Zeng had always been full of curiosity about Wu Xiaoshan's medical skills, and seeing him act this way, then glancing at Xin Lei, she immediately guessed the situation.

She cleared her throat and said, "Xin Lei, I don't know what happened between you and Wu Xiaoshan, but what I have to tell you is, if you want to save Elder Qin, you must ask Wu Xiaoshan to take action, otherwise, even if you rush him to the city now, it would be too late!"

Xin Lei's brows furrowed. Seeing Doctor Zeng's certain demeanor, how could she not realize that she might have misunderstood Wu Xiaoshan? But when she thought about how this guy had previously taken advantage of her, a flame of nameless anger rose in her heart.

Herself, the proud Miss of the Xin Family, born with a golden spoon, she refused to lower her head to this petty farmer, no way!

So after a slight hesitation, she coldly said, "Wu Xiaoshan, right? Elder Qin's current condition is more or less related to you. If you can't cure him, I'll call the police and have you arrested immediately!"

Having said this, Xin Lei took out her cellphone.

Seeing Xin Lei still unwilling to lower her head at this point, Wu Xiaoshan became so angry that his molars itched.

Suddenly, he had an idea, and after sizing up Xin Lei, he said with a mischievous smile, "I can treat Elder Qin's illness, but there is one very important medicine primer. If that thing is applied to the silver needles, I guarantee Elder Qin will recover from his ailment!"

"What is so miraculous?" Xin Lei's almond eyes widened in curiosity.

Even Doctor Zeng was taken aback by Wu Xiaoshan's words, and she asked in confusion, "Xiaoshan, what primer are you talking about?"

Seeing both women were piqued with curiosity, Wu Xiaoshan let out a smirk and said softly, "It's actually not some rare thing, but the menstrual blood of a virgin girl who has not been betrothed."

Whoosh!

As soon as these words came out, both Xin Lei and Zeng Yu blushed deeply.

"As expected, he's no good!" Xin Lei spat.

And Zeng Yu was struck with a dilemma, saying, "Xiaoshan, are you serious? But in our Wolong Village, there are already few girls who haven't been betrothed, and I don't know if there are any who are menstruating right now…"

Doctor Zeng didn't doubt Wu Xiaoshan's words, as she had once read an ancient text that mentioned the curing powers of a young girl's menstrual blood, it's just that the specific treatment methods were not recorded.

Wu Xiaoshan, however, glanced at Xin Lei and said with a wicked smile, "Others may not have it, but our Great Village Head Xin definitely can manage. Great Village Head Xin, I'm not wrong, am I?"

Upon hearing Wu Xiaoshan's words, Xin Lei was both embarrassed and annoyed. She bit her red lips tightly, staring at Wu Xiaoshan, and said, "What… what nonsense are you talking about?"

At this moment, her heart was filled with a deep wish to flay Wu Xiaoshan alive. How could someone publicly speak such shameful words? But at the same time, she was also a bit curious about this petty farmer before her.

How did this guy know she got her period today?

Watching Xin Lei's face flush with embarrassment, Zeng Yu immediately realized that Wu Xiaoshan was right, and for a moment, she felt that Wu Xiaoshan was becoming more and more mysterious.

No wonder great-grandpa always said that true masters never show off, Wu Xiaoshan really had some skills, if she could learn even a little bit from him, would her family also start to value their branch?

As she thought about it, Zeng Yu's breathing quickened, and her gaze towards Wu Xiaoshan was filled with eagerness.

Wu Xiaoshan was not surprised by Xin Lei's embarrassment; he continued with a sneer, "Village Head Xin is old, isn't he, but his complexion is clearly poor, and adding the fact that you walked unnaturally all the way here, I believe you must be on your period, right?"

Wu Xiaoshan's words sounded simple, but in his heart, he was secretly laughing, because when he had inadvertently touched Xin Lei's body before, that slight swelling sensation had said it all, as it was one of the characteristics of a woman on her period.

Hearing this, Xin Lei was so angry her chest heaved, but she couldn't think of any way to retaliate against the guy.

Seeing her reaction, Wu Xiaoshan felt even more triumphant, he squinted and said with a wicked smile, "Village Head Xin, Elder Qin's life is hanging by a thread, you wouldn't refuse this little help, would you?"

What do you mean by this little help?

Xin Lei felt like biting Wu Xiaoshan to death, but in the end, she just clenched her teeth and said resentfully, "Wu Xiaoshan, you are ruthless. If you can't save Elder Qin, I definitely won't let you get away with it!"

After saying this, Xin Lei walked out.

Before long, she walked back in, her face flushed, and in her hands, she was holding an enamel basin, filled with something bright red.

Seeing Xin Lei lower her head and hand over the enamel basin, Wu Xiaoshan didn't continue to tease her. After receiving it, he disinfected the silver needles he had prepared earlier, then soaked them in the bright red substance.

He then followed the acupuncture method in his mind and inserted one silver needle after another into the major acupoints around Old Man Qin's body.

After inserting eighteen needles, Wu Xiaoshan finally took a quiet breath and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Is it... is it done?"

Qin Daoming, who had been silent, saw how quickly Wu Xiaoshan finished and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Wu Xiaoshan, you'd better not be joking. I warn you, if you don't cure Old Master Qin today, I'm going to call the police and have you arrested!"

Zhang Dabao also added without hesitation.

He had witnessed the scene where Wu Xiaoshan played around with Xin Lei and lost the initial awe he had for her presence, instead feeling even more hatred towards Wu Xiaoshan.

Wu Xiaoshan just glanced at Zhang Dabao and said with a cold smirk, "Director Zhang, whether I can cure Grandpa Sun is none of your concern, you better take care of yourself."

"What did you say?"

Zhang Dabao's face reddened with anger and he felt like hammering Wu Xiaoshan right then, but remembering that Xin Lei was inside the room, he ultimately dropped the idea.

"Wu Xiaoshan, what's going on with Elder Qin?" Just then, Xin Lei, seeing that Old Man Qin still hadn't responded, couldn't help but ask.

Wu Xiaoshan didn't answer, but Zeng Yu on the side was the first to exclaim, "He's awake, he's awake, Elder Qin is awake!"
