From the sleeve of his clothes, Jue Yu took out a small light greenish blue colored pill. He fed it to the Blind Concubine. Not even an hour later, as expected, the coughing and vomiting had stopped. Soon after that, he calmly checked the Blind Concubine’s pulse, then carried out the acupuncture.
Xiao Bao stood by the side, he felt that this person’s acupuncture technique was unusual. Compared to that of the formal Imperial Physicians’ method, it was substantially different. Especially the way he twisted and rotated the acupuncture needles, and the way he lifted and stuck in the needles. He had never seen that kind of method anywhere.
Xiao Bao waited until the acupuncture had done, then busily stepped forward to ask: “Do you need me to get the medicine? I will immediately go and get it.”
Jue Yu casually said: “Don’t need to get the medicine.”
Xiao Bao was baffled: “Don’t need to get the medicine??”
Jue Yu pointed at the bed: “Do you think this kind of body can still receive that kind of medicine?”
Xiao Bao fell silent and speechless.
“It was not strange at all that he vomited whatever he ate, if he didn’t vomit, that would be a wonder.” Jue Yu took out from his sleeve a red sandalwood wooden box and gave it to Xiao Bao, “From now, every morning and night, feed him one. His food and drink must be light. The him right now has difficulty in chewing and swallowing the food. He could only take porridge, vegetables, and noodles. Be sure to remember to pulverize it all before giving it to him.”
Xiao Bao quickly replied: “I have kept it in my mind.”
Under this kind of medical treatment, his condition had turned very much for the better. He recovered and regained his consciousness; also he could already open his mouth to speak.
Xiao Bao of course very happy, but also couldn’t help but feel bitter whenever he was reminded about his critical illness: “Master, you have to endure this stage of illness, even your hair became dull and dried up.”
The Blind Concubine with his soft voice consoled him: “Wait until I am totally well, it will go back to normal.”
Jue Yu raised the curtain and entered the room: “If you can keep your life, here, I have a plenty of prescriptions to grow your hair back.” At the same time, he loosened up his long hair, rushing down like splashing water all the way to his ankle, contrasting his red clothes and his white as snow skin. Beautiful to the utmost.
The Blind Concubine gently said: “It will be good.” With his hoarse voice.
Jue Yu said again: “Your body has a lot of problems to begin with, yet, there were still more problems that one by one came to burden you. Let’s just see if you will be able to live until that day.”
Xiao Bao busily said in haste: “Master certainly will be able too; Master will live a long life for hundreds of years.”
The Blind Concubine sadly laughed, “Stupid kid.” His eyes were wet and a flash of misery was in them.
Jue Yu told him: “After all, it is your own body, you have to take good care of yourself.”
The Blind Concubine slightly nodded, then he asked: “Why did you come?”
Jue Yu laughed for a while, “Originally, I didn’t come for you. But who would have thought, I have received favor at a little cost. I even get a slavery deed. I didn’t make this trip in vain.”
The Blind Concubine curiously asked: “Oh? Tell me, let me hear about it.”
