Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1230: Qi Reversal

The acupuncture method he used came from the nine acupoints for restoring yang in the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Collection, which are effective acupoints commonly used in clinical emergency treatment and have the function of restoring yang and rescuing adverse conditions. The nine acupoints are: Yamen, Laogong, Sanyinjiao, Yongquan, Taixi, Zhongwan, Huantiao, Zusanli, and Hegu.

While Xu Chunliang was acupuncturing nine acupoints, he used his innate energy to try to forcibly open up his grandfather's stagnant meridians.

The medical staff around him saw his strange behavior. Although they knew that Xu Chunliang was being rescued, such rescue was worthless in their eyes.

No one dared to stop Xu Chunliang. Even those standing near him could feel the chill.

Xu Changshan is already dead. Once a person enters the state of death, the heart stops beating and the meridians no longer circulate. Xu Chunliang tried to use his own innate power to drive his grandfather's already stagnant meridians and restart his heartbeat, but the loss of his true energy was huge and there was no effect at all.

Su Qing saw beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozing out of Xu Chunliang's forehead, and she felt distressed and sad, but she could not stop Xu Chunliang. Xu Changshan was the most important relative in Xu Chunliang's life. Today's accidental death was definitely a huge blow to Xu Chunliang.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Xu Chunliang's efforts still had no effect. Looking at his grandfather's pale face, Xu Chunliang felt sad. The innate energy that had been pushed into his grandfather's meridians with great difficulty could no longer move forward at all, but instead reversed madly at this moment.

This reversed true energy quickly flowed into his meridians, causing tearing pain wherever it went, but it was far less than the pain he felt inside.

Xu Chunliang wanted to suppress the reversed true qi by force, but encountered an even more violent counterattack from the reversed true qi. The innate power followed the way of nature, and Xu Chunliang used it to bring the dead back to life and change his fate. However, this effort that went against the way of heaven suffered backlash.

Puff! The reversed Qi actually severely damaged his meridians, and Xu Chunliang spat out a mouthful of blood.

Su Qing exclaimed out of concern: "Pure!"

Xu Chunliang finally realized the reality of his grandfather's death. He knelt down on the ground, holding his grandfather's cold hand tightly. His mind fell into a dark chaos. After his rebirth, the warm scenes of the grandfather and grandson getting along with each other flooded into his mind. He regretted not calling his grandfather earlier. If he had discovered his grandfather's abnormality earlier, perhaps he could have prevented this tragedy from happening.

Su Qing came to Xu Chunliang and knelt down like him. She grabbed his wrist and said tearfully, "Chunliang, you must take care of yourself. Grandpa...he doesn't want to see you like this."

Xu Chunliang nodded. Now that things had come to this, he could only face reality.

Su Qing took out a tissue to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, and then helped him stand up.

Xu Chunliang looked at his sister-in-law Xu Jiawen who was crying beside him and asked coldly, "What happened?"

Sui Dongjun put his arm around Xu Jiawen's shoulders and said to Xu Chunliang, "Chunliang, I know you are sad, but your aunt is in a very unstable mood right now. Can we talk about it later?"

"cannot!"

Xu Jiawen trembled and said, "Blame me, it's all my fault. I killed... Dad..."

Sui Dongjun said sympathetically: "It's none of your business, don't blame yourself."

Xu Chunliang looked at Sui Dongjun coldly: "This is our Xu family's business. People who are not involved should stay away."

At this time, a policeman came to Xu Chunliang and said, "Are you a relative of the deceased? Please come with us."

Su Qing accompanied Xu Chunliang and the policeman to the side. The whole incident became clear under the policeman's narration. The police had retrieved the surveillance video from the scene and could conclude that it was an accident.

While Xu Changshan was trying to stop Zheng Pei'an from committing suicide, they both lost their balance and rolled down the stairs of the overpass together. After all, the old man was old and had osteoporosis. He suffered multiple fractures in the process and his cervical vertebra was accidentally broken. At present, the truly fatal injury is the brain stem hemorrhage.

Xu Chunliang clenched his fists. His grandfather's accidental death was undoubtedly caused by Zheng Pei'an. Regardless of whether it was an accident or not, if Zheng Pei'an appeared in front of him, he would make him pay for his grandfather's life.

The police took out a photo of Zheng Pei'an and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Xu Chunliang nodded: "Zheng Pei'an, he is my grandfather's direct disciple."

"Soon after the incident, we arrived at the scene and the man had disappeared. We think he was scared. Do you know where he might have gone?"

Xu Chunliang tried hard to recall: "Let me think about it."

After calming down, Xu Chunliang contacted his father. After hearing about this, Xu Jiaxuan asked Xu Chunliang to temporarily send the body to the funeral home for storage and wait until he returned to China to discuss everything. He expected to arrive in Nanjiang before tomorrow night at the latest.

At three o'clock in the morning, brothers Lu Qi and Lu Ming accompanied Xu Jiaan to Nanjiang.

Xu Chunliang had just finished the relevant formalities and came out accompanied by Su Qing.

Xu Jiawen, who had calmed down, walked towards Xu Chunliang with red and swollen eyes: "Chunliang..."

Xu Chunliang ignored her and passed by her. He saw his eldest aunt coming over accompanied by the Lu brothers.

Xu Jiaan cried all the way after hearing the bad news. His eyes were already swollen. He came to Xu Chunliang and said in a hoarse voice: "Chunliang, your grandfather..."

Xu Chunliang nodded.

Xu Jiaan started crying again and asked to see her father for the last time. Xu Jiawen went with her.

Brothers Lu Qi and Lu Ming came over. They didn't expect things to develop to such a serious level. Lu Qi said, "Chunliang, I talked to the Dongzhou police and this should be an accident."

Xu Chunliang said: "Thank you, I don't want to mention this matter for the time being."

Lu Ming said: "According to your wishes, I have not told anyone else yet, Chunliang, I have asked for leave and will stay in Nanjiang to help out for the next two days. Just arrange whatever needs to be done."

Xu Chunliang nodded: "Nothing to do for now, you guys go and have a rest first."

Su Qing said: "I have booked a few rooms at Dongshan Hotel. It's already late, everyone should check in and rest first."

Xu Chunliang said: "You go first, I will wait and then leave."

Lu Qi said: "We both have nothing to do, so we'll wait for you to come together."

Lu Ming said, "How about we go back and rest first? It's useless to stay here." He actually wanted to stay and accompany them, but considering that Xu Chunliang should think calmly and the Xu family might have important things to discuss, he reminded his brother to leave.

After the Lu brothers left, Su Qing looked at Xu Chunliang lovingly and said softly, "Chunliang, I know you are sad, but the dead cannot be resurrected. We still have to face reality. The most important thing at the moment is to take care of grandpa's funeral."

Xu Chunliang said: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Xu Jiaan and Xu Jiawen came out crying, and Sui Dongjun, who had been accompanying Xu Jiawen, went to greet them.

Xu Jiawen glanced at Xu Chunliang, and Xu Chunliang looked into the distance. Xu Jiawen knew in his heart that his nephew would never forgive him. If it weren't for his improper handling, it wouldn't have caused such a great shock to Zheng Pei'an, and perhaps the tragedy tonight would not have happened.

Sui Dongjun said: "Jia Wen, it's late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll take you home to rest first."

Xu Jiawen looked at his sister eagerly. Xu Jiaan already knew the general situation of the incident. Since it had already happened, blaming his sister would not help. In fact, no one wanted to be involved in this incident.

Sui Dongjun said: "Sister, you and Jiawen should go together, the two sisters can talk." He was worried about Xu Jiawen and worried that she would be upset.

Xu Jiaan nodded and went over to explain to Xu Chunliang.

After everyone left, Xu Chunliang got into Su Qing's car. Su Qing followed him and, without saying a word, opened her arms and hugged him, letting Xu Chunliang bury his head in her chest.

Xu Chunliang said: "If I had called earlier, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."

Su Qing gently stroked his cheek: "There is no if, Chunliang, grandpa wanted to save Zheng..." She wanted to say Uncle Zheng, but Zheng Pei'an caused the death of the master and did not dare to take responsibility and chose to flee the scene. How could such a person deserve her respect.

She felt Xu Chunliang's hot tears soaking her clothes: "Chunliang, you still have me. No matter what time it is, I will never leave you."

Xu Chunliang said: "I just want to stay here."

Su Qing nodded and hugged him tightly.

Zheng Pei'an stood by the lake. The night rain was falling heavily. The scene of his master desperately trying to save him kept flashing in his mind.

Zheng Pei'an slapped himself hard, silently cursing himself from the bottom of his heart, saying that he had killed his master. Looking at the dark lake in front of him, a voice in his heart kept reminding him.

"Jump down, jump down and it will all be over."

Zheng Pei'an took a step forward and thought of Xu Jiawen again. He had only loved one woman in his life. He had been waiting all these years. He gave everything for Xu Jiawen, but in the end he did not get Xu Jiawen's love. She was divorced. He thought he had a chance, but she still ruthlessly rejected him and chose someone else. Is he really that bad?

Zheng Pei'an's heart was dead, and he decided to bid farewell to this world completely. Just as he was about to jump.

A black shadow flashed behind him, raised the wooden stick in his hand and hit him hard on the back of the head. Zheng Pei'an's eyes went dark and he fell to the side. Before he fell into the lake, someone grabbed his body.

When Xu Chunliang woke up, he was still leaning in Su Qing's arms. Su Qing had not slept all night, and her arms were numb from holding Xu Chunliang like this.

Xu Chunliang sat up straight: "Xiaoqing, are you tired?"

Su Qing shook her head and moved her numb arm.

Xu Chunliang raised his wrist to check the time: "I want to go to the police station to check the surveillance footage of the incident."

Lu Qi asked Liu Qingshan for help. Liu Qingshan still had a certain influence in the Nanjiang police force. He personally took Xu Chunliang to check the surveillance.

The police officer in charge of the case was very polite to Liu Qingshan.

Xu Chunliang watched the surveillance footage of the incident from beginning to end.
