Chapter two hundred and seven needles
207
"Ten years?" Xu Taiping closed his eyes and said, "Is it only ten years?"
"In a short period of time, the strength of your body is increased through high-intensity training, which consumes your original vitality. These vitality can maintain your lifespan of eighty or ninety years, but it is consumed in advance and transformed into your body's strength and speed, so your lifespan will be reduced accordingly. A person's body can directly reflect a person's experience. I can feel that while your body gains extremely high intensity, it has also suffered huge damage. Each of your injuries, while making your body stronger and stronger, also makes your vitality constantly overdraw. If you come to me for acupuncture every month, I can let you live for twelve years. But for this, you have to give me about 30 million." Hua Bailu said.
"It would be cost-effective to live for 30 million, and it would be more than two years." Xu Taiping said.
"But there is a prerequisite that you must try to reduce the consumption of vitality, that is, don't let your body overload function. Otherwise, your life span may be shortened." Hua Bailu said.
"Is there no way to make me live longer?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There is no way, at least I can't do it, but you don't have to worry. Many times you can't say that life is like this. Some people deserve to die, but they can always live, while others deserve to live, but they will die early. A doctor said back then that I could not live twenty-five, but now I am twenty-eight, and that doctor just died of cerebral hemorrhage the year before." 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 were not afraid before, but now, you are afraid." Hua Bailu patted Xu Taiping's back and said, "Just when you said you could only live for ten years, your back muscles contracted uncontrollably, your body temperature and blood flow rate increased, proving that you are nervous. I think it may be because of the girl outside, no matter who is not afraid of death, after you have bonds, you will start to be afraid, 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. He was indeed not afraid of death in the past, but now after hearing what Hua Bailu said, he really felt something was right. If he died, he would not be able to see Xia Jinxuan. How uncomfortable it would be.
"Next, my needle will pierce the thirty-two acupoints in your body. I will open up the damaging areas in your meridians. It will cause great pain for you. This is a medicine to calm the mind. If you take it, you will fall asleep and you will not feel the pain." Hua Bailu handed a round pill to Xu Taiping.
"No need." Xu Taiping shook his head and said, "I am used to suffering."
"That's fine, but I can declare first that even if you don't take medicine, the money will not be returned to you." Hua Bailu said.
"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded.
With a creak, the door was opened.
Ajiu walked in from outside the door with a brazier, and then placed the brazier under the bed where Xu Taiping was lying.
The brazier emitted a burst of scorching breath, and these breaths penetrated the bed and entered Xu Taiping's body.
Not long after, Xu Taiping's whole body became hot, and the temperature in the whole room also became much higher.
It was midsummer and the temperature in this room had exceeded forty degrees.
Hua Bailu was wearing a white coat and didn't sweat a drop on her body, and Xu Taiping was also not sweating.
Hua Bailu took out the silver needle from the wooden box and pierced it into Xu Taiping's body in turn. It started from his neck and continued to the soles of his feet. It was densely packed, with at least hundreds of needles, and even the needles were pricked on his crotch.
Beads of sweat began to appear on Xu Taiping's body. At the same time, many blood vessels on his body swelled strangely, and the blood inside quickly surged, and the muscles in his body began to spasm unconsciously.
Xu Taiping looked at the ground expressionlessly, sweat bent down his face, wet a large part of the floor. The severe pain kept stimulating his nerves, but he didn't say anything at all.
Hua Bailu's white coat was also soaked with sweat. The drop of each needle would also consume a lot of physical strength for her. She had to make sure that each needle was pierced in a critical place. Xu Taiping's muscles were too strong, and it would take a lot of strength to pierce his muscles.
After all the needles were pierced, Hua Bailu walked to the side, picked up a handful of incense, and then lit it.
The flames were jumping on the incense. Hua Bailu opened her mouth and blew it hard, blew it out, and then walked to Xu Taiping with the incense.
"The pain you will suffer several times the time before. Are you sure you won't take my medicine?" Hua Bailu asked.
"Confirm." Xu Taiping said.
"Okay." Hua Bailu nodded and pressed the incense forcefully towards the position of Xu Taiping's tail vertebrae.
Hesitate!!
A burst of white smoke wafted from Xu Taiping's tailbone. The white smoke had a fragrant smell and a burnt meat.
Xu Taiping's body continued to spasm, and the blue veins on his neck had completely expanded, but even so, Xu Taiping's face was still as calm as before.
Hua Bailu lifted up the handful of incense, which left a large piece of burnt mark on Xu Taiping's tailbone. Then, she threw the incense into the trash can beside her.
"Lying here, I'll come in ten minutes." Hua Bailu finished speaking and walked out of the room.
Outside the room, Xia Jinxuan was waiting nervously, as if she was outside the operating room.
Seeing Hua Bailu coming out, Xia Jinxuan hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong with the doctor?"
"It's just a cold, not a surgery. Why are you doing so nervous?" Hua Bailu asked.
"A cold of 250,000 is not easy to see," said Xia Jinxuan.
"You little girl, do you know how to sarcastic? Your lover is nothing serious. I'll just go in and give him a few more injections later." Hua Bailu waved his hand and said.
At this time, an old lady suddenly walked into the courtyard outside the Siheyuan.
The old lady walked slowly with a crutch, and her hair on her head had turned white. She looked quite old, but she looked pretty good.
"Xiaohua, I'm here to find you." The old lady said with a smile as she walked.
"Oh, Grandma Li, look at my memory. Today I should give you medicine. I forgot about this, so I will get medicine for you." Hua Bailu said as she walked towards the old lady, first helped her to the lobby, and then walked to the next hall to start grabbing the medicine.
"Grandma, I think you are in good spirits. Why are you sick?" Xia Jinxuan asked curiously.
"I've been dizzy recently. I took Xiaohua's medicine, which is quite effective. Today I come here to get a patch. Xiaohua said, 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 see a doctor here!" Xia Jinxuan sighed.
"Is rich? I don't have much money, my wife, it's not expensive to see a doctor." said the old lady.
"Grandma Li, I'm fine, I'll give you the medicine." Hua Bailu walked to the old lady with a small bag and handed it to the old lady.
"Okay. This is the medicine fee, you can 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 dollars, put it in her pocket, and then helped the old lady walk outside the yard. She watched her leave before she returned to the hall.
"Why are you like this? It's only five yuan to ask you for medicine. Why do we need 250,000 yuan to catch a cold?" Xia Jinxuan said dissatisfied.
"One chain on your neck costs hundreds of thousands, your bag, shoes, and the addition of things can be at least millions. For you rich people, what is the 250,000 yuan worth? Grandma Li has no children and is a five-guarantee household. The community gives her 200 living expenses every month. Five yuan is more important to her than 250,000 yuan for you." Hua Bailu said.
"So you are not a traitor doctor." Xia Jinxuan said.
"I like money, especially the money of you rich people. Don't blame me for killing you. You have so much money, a bag of hundreds of thousands, and I don't care about the little money I slaughtered." Hua Bailu said, and walked into the room where Xu Taiping was treated.
Xu Taiping was still lying face down, just 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 that what's it now?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Otherwise? For the doctor, 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 have something to buy." Hua Bailu teased, and then began to prick Xu Taiping with a needle, and carefully pricked from top to bottom.
"Wait a minute." Xu Taiping suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Hua Bailu asked with a frown.
"Do you need to stab it there?" Second Lieutenant Xu Taiping raised his head a little, looked at Hua Bailu's needle, and asked.
"There is a point here that is in charge of human essence and blood. Do you think you can pierce it?" Hua Bailu asked.
"Then you have to be careful of this and don't break it." Xu Taiping reminded.
"Look, I was so scared that I was so nervous that I had just pierced my whole body and didn't see you so nervous. Men, it turns out that they are all the lower half of the body." Hua Bailu said, piercing the silver needle in his hand down hard.
Xu Taiping's body trembled for a moment, and then he heard Hua Bailu shout, "Oh no, it's leaking!"
