(Thank you to the brother who rewarded and subscribed yesterday. Laoyu is very happy. Thank you. Ten updates will be released today!)
The courtyard is extremely quiet and the air is fresh.
On the couch, Cao Hongtian's face was covered with sweat, and his white robe was soaked. He bit his lips tightly and his face turned red, but he did not cry out in pain.
Silver needles penetrated most of the acupuncture points in his body, as if countless ants were tearing at his flesh and blood. This feeling, even after experiencing countless life and death battles, still made his days feel like years, and he was in excruciating pain.
But after all, he was Cao Hongtian, a famous general of the Republic, and his reputation as a tough guy was not in vain.
Tang Xiaobao was in front of the couch, with sweat pouring down his face. He looked attentively, holding the silver needle and twisting it.
Next to them, the Cao family's father and daughter looked nervous, and the housekeeper and several servants were also standing aside, all staring at the bed.
The acupuncture treatment has lasted for two hours. This is the most difficult treatment Tang Xiaobao has received since his debut.
"Ding! Congratulations on your acupuncture skills reaching a state of perfection and gaining innate energy."
A systematic reminder suddenly came from his mind, and Tang Xiaobao's face lit up, and he felt a cool air suddenly fill his blood.
Is this innate energy?
Tang Xiaobao had seen the introduction of innate Qi in medical books, but he had not seen how to obtain this innate Qi. He did not expect happiness to come so suddenly.
Innate Qi can keep people healthy and maintain energy and endurance far beyond ordinary people.
The cool air circulated among the acupuncture points very quickly, and soon returned to the Dantian, becoming a thumb-sized air ball.
Invisible, intangible, but real.
Tang Xiaobao was already extremely tired and almost couldn't hold on anymore, but with the generation of this innate energy, his energy immediately recovered and he didn't feel tired at all.
As he thought, the innate energy flowed along the acupuncture points to his right arm, finally flowed to his fingertips, and entered Mr. Cao's body along the silver needle.
Mr. Cao's body trembled, and he was also nourished by the innate energy, and even groaned slightly.
It's not pain, it's joy.
Tang Xiaobao's confidence increased even more.
Tang Xiaobao has long been familiar with the method of using innate energy, and it doesn't seem awkward to use it now.
The innate energy circulated in Old Mrs. Cao's body, constantly stimulating the vitality in the body. Tang Xiaobao twisted the silver needle faster, and a dark gas that was invisible to the naked eye emitted from Mr. Cao's body.
There is a smell in the air, which is the impurities in Mr. Cao's body.
About an hour later, the innate energy was taken back into the body by Tang Xiaobao, stored in the Dantian, and once again became a thumb-sized air ball, unmoving.
Tang Xiaobao began to tighten the needles.
His speed of retracting the needle was still extremely fast. Onlookers could only see an afterimage. Tang Xiaobao had already taken a breath and stepped back.
Uncle Fu's eyes were filled with sparkle. He glanced at Tang Xiaobao, and his eyes were filled with extraordinary splendor.
A layman watches the fun, an expert watches the door.
Uncle Fu has followed the old man for more than ten years. He was not only a strange man in the army, but also a master of the apricot forest. He can naturally see Tang Xiaobao's brilliance.
Cao Jianguo, Cao Jianjun, and Cao Ying all surrounded him.
"How is it?" Cao Jianguo asked first.
Tang Xiaobao waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "There are too many impurities in the body and the disease is severe. It needs to be done several times. It will take at least three days and nine times of acupuncture to get better."
Cao Jianguo nodded immediately and told the servant on the side: "Hurry and prepare a room for Mr. Tang."
Mr. Cao opened his eyes and frowned.
The white robe he was wearing had now become filthy, with patches of black and purple, and a very pungent odor.
"It stinks." The old man shrugged, but his anger was a bit stronger than before the treatment.
Everyone looked weird and were embarrassed to say anything.
"Mr. Tang, it's better to take a bath first." Tang Xiaobao couldn't help but remind him.
The old man was helped up and felt a little embarrassed, but he soon burst out laughing: "Xiao Tang, your acupuncture skills are really good. Although I only got acupuncture once, I feel that my body is much stronger than before.
It seems that I am really impressed by you."
"Grandpa, you'd better go wash up first." Cao Ying covered her nose and said with a naughty smile.
Tang Xiaobao turned to look at Cao Ying and smiled.
Hey, I didn’t expect that Sister Yu also has a very cute side.
Cao Ying stopped talking, glared at Tang Xiaobao fiercely, and stopped talking.
"Haha, why, do you think grandpa stinks?" Mrs. Tang laughed and scolded.
Tang Xiaobao explained: "If you want to stimulate the vitality in your body and restore the functioning of each organ, the first step is to wash away the impurities and toxins in your body. Mr. Tang probably had too much accumulated in his body due to poor living conditions when he was young.
There are so many toxins that the cleanup is not complete this time, but it can be considered very effective."
"And there is good news. After previous acupuncture, I found that Mr. Tang's physical condition is not as bad as I thought. Especially his willpower is beyond ordinary people. If this is the case, it is still possible to become a real centenarian.
elder."
"Really?" Cao Jianguo looked surprised.
It was originally said that I would live for three to five years, but now it has become ten years. This is of course a great thing.
The Cao family is counting on the old man to be able to support them for a few more years. What's more, the Cao family is united as one, and no one wants the old man to enjoy a few more years of happiness.
Mr. Tang laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, okay. Xiao Tang, you must come every year when I celebrate my birthday. When I celebrate my 100th birthday, I will also give you a very big red envelope, haha."
This is naturally a joke, but it can also be seen that the old man is indeed very happy.
"As long as Mr. Tang doesn't find me annoying, I will definitely come every year in your future lives." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile.
Mr. Tang glanced at his granddaughter, winked at Tang Xiaobao, and said: "Then you have to work hard, Xiaoying has very high standards."
sweat.
Tang Xiaobao was speechless for a moment.
Cao Ying also made a big blush.
Let me go, isn’t this just a bit of a mess, it’s nothing to do with anything.
The old man went to take a shower, but he refused to let anyone help him. Tang Xiaobao was already sweating profusely. Cao Ying said, "Let's go. I'll take you to take a shower and change clothes first."
"No need?" Tang Xiaobao felt a little uncomfortable.
Change clothes?
He does have several sets in his ring, but he can't take them out and change them.
Cao Ying seemed to know what Tang Xiaobao was thinking, and said: "Let's go, I have clothes for you over there, and I won't let you come out in a skirt. And don't you know that you also stink? You have to stay for a few more days.
, do you want to wear this outfit every day?”
In a good mood, Cao Ying had a rare joke with Tang Xiaobao.
"Go on, go on, we'll wait for you to come out for dinner." Cao Jianjun also smiled.
He is happy to see Tang Xiaobao and his daughter get closer. On the one hand, he is very optimistic about Tang Xiaobao's future. On the other hand, Cao Ying has become a leftover girl. Of course he wants his daughter to find her own destination as soon as possible. Hey, it just so happens that Tang Xiaobao is very happy.
It appealed to the old man's taste, and he liked her very much, so he naturally wanted to get along with her.
Tang Xiaobao had no choice but to go to another room with Cao Ying.
Even though this is a courtyard house, the rooms are decorated to the highest level. They are antique and lacking in modernity, but they contain an awe-inspiring heritage.
This is the Cao family.
This is Cao Hongtian's residence.
It is said that every time before the Chinese New Year, this place is particularly lively. Many dignitaries from all over the country hope to enter the manor to pay New Year greetings to Mr. Cao.
Of course, there are always very few people who can really come in. (To be continued)
