Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 73 Acupuncture and Moxibustion
Looking at the question in Xiuhua's eyes, Zhao Min didn't explain to her, but directly told her what she needed: "I need some strips of cloth, and two pieces of wood."

"Wood boards." Xiuhua didn't know what she wanted these things for, and Zhao Min didn't tell her either.

But Xiuhua still nodded lightly, choosing to trust Zhao Min, since she asked herself to prepare these things, they would naturally come in handy.

Seeing that it was almost time to cook, Xiuhua and Xiaocui could only go to the kitchen to get busy first. After leaving Zhao Min's room, Zhao Min was left alone with the acupuncture bag in his hand, looking at it absent-mindedly. Looking at it, I felt a little more certain about my hope of escaping from the village.

The next day, when Xiuhua left her room, she hid the wooden board among the cloths washed yesterday, and took it to Zhao Min's room.

Zhao Min took the two wooden planks in his hand and looked at them, then nodded. They were both thick and moderate in length.

"Let's get started." Seeing her pointing with two wooden boards, Xiuhua couldn't help but suggest.

But Zhao Min shook his head: "Not yet." Then he put the board under the bed.

Sure enough, just after hiding the board, Wang Dazhi pushed the door open and entered.

After Wang Dazhi came in, he went straight to Zhao Min, saw three people holding the fabric, and couldn't help but think of what Xiuhua said to him yesterday.

I also generally know in my heart what the three women are studying when they are sitting together now?
At the moment, I was too embarrassed to continue to stay in this place, so I went out.

After he went out, Zhao Min walked lightly to the door, watched him gradually go away, and when no one came here to spy, he helped Xiaocui to the bed and let her lie down.

Seeing the firm expression on her face, Zhao Min finally confirmed to her: "Have you really thought about it? Xiaocui, the bone setting process will be very painful."

I saw Xiaocui's eyes revealed not only firmness but also deep hatred.

"I think it over, I must heal my leg, I can't escape from here if my leg is not healed, my family is still waiting for me at home, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely Escape, if not once, then twice, until I die."

Zhao Min's heart was greatly touched when he heard Xiaocui's words, and Xiuhua who was standing beside her also looked stunned.

Zhao Min nodded lightly, ready to start his bone setting work.

But before starting, she still needs to do one more thing, Zhao Min took a piece of rags from the pile of rags that Xiuhua picked up just now and handed it directly to Xiao Cui.

"Put it in your mouth, it will hurt later, don't scream, you must hold back, don't attract the attention of outsiders."

Xiao Cui nodded, solemnly took the piece of cloth from Zhao Min's hand, stuffed it into her mouth, bit it hard, and grabbed the sheet beside her.

In fact, Xiaocui was also a little nervous, but in order to escape from the prince, she could bear everything.

After Zhao Min saw that she was ready, he started his own bone setting treatment.

During this process, Xiaocui clung tightly to the bed sheet from the beginning to the end, and beads of sweat dripped from her head, but she kept on holding on, and only let out a few muffled groans, not letting herself faint or something.

After finally completing the bone-setting action, Zhao Min picked up the two wooden boards under the bed and let Xiuhua put it next to her legs.

Then he picked up the strips of cloth that had been torn into strips on the table earlier, and fixed her legs.

After doing all this, Zhao Min took out the cloth strip from Xiaocui's mouth.

I saw that Xiaocui's face was pale, and she was already somewhat exhausted, gasping for breath, but she didn't have the slightest strength to speak.

After a long pause: "Is this all right?" The first question he asked was concerned about his legs.
Zhao Min nodded: "It's okay, but it still needs to rest, at least seven days."

Seven days later, it was Zhao Min's wedding day.

Fortunately, the wooden strips that Xiuhua chose were not very wide or thick, and Xiaocui's clothes were also very loose, so they were not easy to attract attention.

After finishing all this, Zhao Min lit the candle, took out his set of needles, roasted it on the candle, and put the needles on Xiaocui's leg.

After about half an hour, Zhao Min's forehead was dripping with sweat, and the process ended.

But this is just acupuncture on Xiaocui's leg, and Xiuhua next to her still hasn't started!

After letting Xiaocui lie on the bed, Zhao Min didn't intend to rest at all, and turned to another patient of hers——Xiuhua.

Zhao Min asked Xiuhua to sit on the chair, put his hands on the table, and began to treat her with acupuncture.

After Zhao Min gave Xiuhua the needles, Xiuhua felt a warm current flowing through her arms. It felt like a water pipe that hadn't been dredged for a long time was dredged, which was completely different from her previous feeling.

A flash of surprise flashed in my heart at the moment: "There are really a lot better."

Zhao Min also nodded in satisfaction: "This is only the first day, and after a week, he will almost be fully recovered."

Zhao Min treated the two people, but he didn't reveal why he helped them at all, nor did he tell them his plan to escape.

Because the relationship between the three people before was not very trustworthy, now the two people saw that Zhao Min had relieved a lot of pain on their bodies, and they couldn't help admiring her, which also achieved the effect Zhao Min wanted. .

After finishing everything, Zhao Min felt as if his body was exhausted.

Acupuncture is a job that requires a high degree of concentration, so after helping two people with acupuncture one after another, Zhao Min also felt a little exhausted.

Sitting on the chair next to him, he picked up a cloth and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Zhao Min rested for a while, and after recovering somewhat, she still decided not to tell them the plan in her heart, and planned to reveal it to them slowly after two days.

But right now, Zhao Min does have someone who is very interested in him: "How much do you know about black faces?"

As soon as they heard the name "Black Face", Xiaocui and Xiuhua's expressions changed drastically. They were completely devoid of the joy of their own illness and love affair just now. Xiuhua's eyes showed fear, while Xiaocui's eyes were full of hatred.

"My leg was broken by him, and my cousin is not allowed to heal it." Xiao Cui gritted her teeth a little bit, "My body was also defiled by him. If possible, I wish I could kill him now!"

Xiuhua walked to the door with a terrified expression, looked around, then returned to the bed, put her finger to her mouth, and hissed, "Be careful that the walls have ears."
