Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2461 Astral Projection
"It's almost done, I'll go take a look!" With that, Bian Mu got up and walked towards the south balcony.

Curiosity piqued, Director Cheng stood up and followed them.

"Have you had enough fun? My surname is Bian, Bian as in border defense, and Mu as in bathing in spring sunshine. You might as well search me online and see what people think of me!" Bian Mu suddenly said these words.

"What?!" Mr. Bai's brain hadn't even had time to reconnect with the game's atmosphere, having only just emerged from the game's immersion.

"Look me up online. My name is Bian Mu, with the character 'bian' (边) in 'biansai' (边塞), the character 'mu' (木) in 'mutou' (木) on the right." Bian Mu repeated himself patiently and calmly.

"Why?!"

"I need to give you a shot in the head. I'm worried you might be a little resistant, so... you'd better look me up online first."

"Go ahead and get it! I love getting needles, I've never been afraid of pain since I was a kid!" Wow! Mr. Bai was quite nonchalant about it.

They looked at each other, stunned.

He was indeed quite ill!

"Alright! After this needle goes in, you might feel like your soul is leaving your body. Of course, if you did well in your studies back then, you might experience a sense of enlightenment and relief, and within 5 seconds, you'll feel very relaxed. Of course, if you got into university through intensive simulations and rote memorization, then it's highly likely you'll feel like your soul is leaving your body. Given your current health, you'll probably involuntarily twitch for a while, or even shout for a bit. It's okay, just do whatever feels good. Isn't Director Cheng here? The neighbors won't mind. Once more than 40% of the discomfort in your body is extracted with the needle, you can get a good rest for a while tonight."

"I was a top student back in school, I would never shout or yell like that, that would be too embarrassing... Hurry up and do the injection!"

"Before I insert the needles, I need to check three pulses: wrist, neck, and legs... If you feel uncomfortable, just say so. Don't kick me, I know kung fu, and I can retaliate against you, making you look foolish on the spot!"

"Sigh! Let me take your pulse!" Mr. Bai suddenly became a little impatient.

With a helpless smile, Bian Mu first took a pulse at the fuyang point through the sock. This pulse diagnosis method is also known as the Chongyang pulse. Bian Mu will have to observe the relevant pulse characteristics to decide whether to use the yang-injection acupuncture method or the yin-extraction acupuncture method, or both in segments. It will take quite a while to figure it out!
……

Having finished taking her pulse, Bian Mu had a better understanding of the situation.

"Come on! Sit on the sofa when you get the needle in. If you feel uncomfortable, just say so, understand?"

"Hmm! Hurry up and do it! I can't wait!" Mr. Bai started rambling again.

The rolling dragon golden needle, once it touched the vital energy, Bian Mu began to infuse it with a little lesser yang heat. As soon as the yin and yang energies came into contact, they immediately pushed the golden needle out. Good heavens! The illness is really serious. Fearing that he might hurt the unlucky guy in front of him again, Bian Mu quickly put the golden needle away.

Even though Director Cheng was a novice, he could clearly see that the golden acupuncture needle was forced out by a burst of energy. Director Cheng was quite startled and secretly marveled that traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture was not just a bluff; it seemed to be something real!
Bian Mu walked behind Mr. Bai and patted each of his lungs three times, neither too hard nor too lightly. His internal energy surged slightly as he needed to release some of his energy.

After taking another pulse at the Renying point, she felt much better.

Then, Bian Mu used both hands to pull Mr. Bai's shoulders back a few times, and then patted him five times on the center of his lungs.

When I checked the Renying pulse again, the pressure point didn't seem as strong as before.

"I was careless. His internal energy was already disordered. I took his pulse as if he were a normal person... Really... I still need to practice more!" Bian Mu couldn't help but think to himself.

Reaching Mr. Bai, Bian Mu inserted the needle again. After obtaining the Qi, she first stepped back, then gently twisted and slowly pushed. Fortunately, the Qi block was finally established. Next, Bian Mu slowly drew the Yin and evil Qi upwards. Goodness! The Qi was heavy, quite strenuous…

Finally, it was over. Bian Mu felt a slight soreness in her right forearm near the elbow. It was the first time she had encountered this situation, and her forearm quickly became stiff. Mr. Bai didn't look that heavy, so why was it so difficult?!

Having not dealt with this type of patient for a long time, Bian Mu felt that he had become somewhat rusty in every aspect.

Pulling herself together, Bian Mu stared at Mr. Bai's eyes for a few moments, only to find that he seemed completely unaffected, as if the injection had been completely neutralized.

Depend on!
Is this going to be a disaster?!
Bian Mu's back was immediately covered in sweat.

Suddenly, Mr. Bai started rolling his eyes, and snot, tears, saliva... gradually seeped out. The amount wasn't large, but thankfully, it was finally working!
Director Cheng was so frightened that he couldn't utter a single word.

Bian Muchong gestured to Director Cheng, signaling her not to panic and to wait and see.

……

“Wu li… wa la… ma ba… gu lu…” Mr. Bai suddenly started waving his arms and legs, making quite large movements. Before long, he fell to the floor. Bian Mu didn’t help him up at all. His eyes were filled with a gloomy look. He just stared intently at Mr. Bai’s neck and didn’t dare to be careless at all.

In Bian Mu's opinion, no matter how crazy Mr. Bai suddenly became, as long as he didn't cause any serious neck problems, it would be fine. Director Cheng finally came to her senses and promptly dragged the glass coffee table away. In her haste, she was already a little out of breath when she straightened up.

After a short while, Mr. Bai finally calmed down, collapsing weakly onto the sofa with half of his right leg tucked under him, and remained motionless.

"Is he... alright?!" Director Cheng was genuinely frightened at this moment.

"Don't worry! It's alright!"

Standing quietly to the side, Bian Mu appeared unusually composed.

……

Bian Mu bent down and gently patted Mr. Bai's back three times.

Huh?! Mr. Bai has finally woken up.

"What time is it? Is it dark yet?! The light is so dim!" Mr. Bai asked these questions, looking completely bewildered.

"The evil energy surged out, and your vision will be temporarily affected. Just close your eyes and rotate your eyeballs a few times, and it will be fine. Try it!" As she spoke, Bian Mu helped Mr. Bai to sit down on the sofa.

……

"It's dawn! It's clear now, much clearer... This must be a classic epiphany!" Damn! He's still thinking about that.

Hahaha……

Director Cheng burst into laughter, the fear he had felt earlier finally vanishing.

Bian Mu smiled but didn't say anything.

"Go sit in the bathroom for a while, you'll need to poop quite a bit later, so flush yourself! Don't rush out yet, you need to cough up some phlegm in your chest, and come out when you feel clear-headed! We won't keep you company." With that, Bian Mu pulled Mr. Bai to the bathroom, and closed the door behind them after they came out.

Still somewhat uneasy, Bian Mu stood near the bathroom door and listened intently...

……

Fortunately, the sounds coming from the bathroom were pretty much as I had anticipated.

Bian Mu was relieved.

When Mr. Bai came out, Director Cheng noticed that his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Are you tired? Go to your bedroom and get some sleep, and make sure you're covered up in bed!"

"Sigh... I'm so sleepy..." Mr. Bai said, stumbling back to his small bedroom to sleep.

Bian Mu went to check on Mr. Bai in the small bedroom. Fortunately, he seemed to be much better and quickly fell asleep, fully clothed and covered with a blanket.

"Can you manage to watch over him here by yourself?"

"You're leaving already?!" Director Cheng immediately became nervous.

“We agreed to wait for his wife to get off work! I’m going out to buy some groceries, and we’ll make some dumplings for him. I need to put some medicine in the filling, so you really can’t do this for me.”

"Okay, hurry back! I do feel a little uneasy being alone."

"It's alright. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll get at least 12 hours of sleep. He won't wake up unless I call him."

"That's good! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Of course." With that, Bian Mu went out to buy groceries.
