"It's nothing serious, I'll get better as long as I take the medicine."
Spare released the patient's wrist, and without a moment's hesitation, turned his head and looked directly at Pera:
"Pera, go boil some water!"
"Yes!"
Pera stood at attention and gave a military salute as if he had met a superior, then turned around and ran to the boiler.
For some unknown reason, and without Pella licking the firewood, the kettle started boiling automatically, bubbling and steaming upwards.
Spall saw the kettle burning, wiped away his sweat, and shifted his gaze to the cabinet not far away.
The clinic's medications should all be displayed there.
Spall pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked toward the medicine cabinet.
As he walked, he pondered the matter, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt:
That's strange.
The patient clearly didn't have any serious illness; he just needed medication and treatment. Why did he become so sick?
Natasha doesn't seem like the type to prescribe exorbitantly priced medications and refuse treatment if the patient doesn't pay.
Spare pondered for a moment, then opened the medicine cabinet with a clang.
There were no medicines in the medicine cabinet.
There were only a few empty boxes left, and they felt empty to the touch.
How...how could this be?
Spah felt a slight jolt in his heart. Without thinking too much, he buried his head in the medicine cabinet and fumbled around for a while.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the medicine.
Cough cough! Cough cough cough cough...
The coughing grew louder and louder, like a hammer clattering against Spa's heart.
Pera and Hill also noticed the unusual situation and looked over, a hint of worry appearing deep in their eyes.
Pera pursed her lips, thinking: Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Even if the divine physician Spa were alive again, without medicine, I'm afraid...
The girl's heart sank instantly.
"Pera, stop the hot water, change it to cold water!"
Suddenly, Spah's command reached Pera's ears.
Surprised, she looked up and saw Spah lightly curling the corner of his mouth, not at all like someone who had no ideas.
Spas, is there any other way?
Pera was incredulous.
Chapter 80 Ancient Healing Methods of the Immortal Boat
Even with all her faith in Spa, Pera didn't believe he could do anything without the medication.
Could it be... that he possesses healing magic, the kind only found in chivalric romance novels?
Pera pushed up her glasses, muttering to herself.
However, despite her doubts, her hands and feet moved on their own, and she picked up the basin and put it into the water tank next to her.
Wow!
The basin is full.
Pera moved her small body, carrying the basin, to the patient and gently put it down.
“Well done!” Spah nodded.
Without saying a word, he took off the patient's socks and placed his pale legs into the pool.
"Whoops"
The patient shuddered from the freezing, and a bluish-purple tinge appeared on his originally white cheeks.
It seems... the water in Yalilo is still quite cold.
Spare rolled his eyes, and without delay, grabbed the patient's coat, pulled it up, and revealed the patient's snow-white back.
"The Dazhui acupoint is here. Hmm, this is the Lingtai acupoint, and also the Geshu and Zhiyang acupoints..."
Spa murmured to himself, extending his fingertips and gently tracing the patient's back, brushing over the acupoints on his body.
Pera had never seen this move before, and was immediately taken aback:
Spahta... instead of getting proper treatment, what's he trying to do by touching a man's skin? Does he have that kind of fetish?
simply!
That was so incredibly exciting!
As a fan of yaoi (boys' love), Pera felt her blood churning.
However, she quickly realized that lives were at stake, and her attention immediately returned to reality, her gaze fixed intently on Spa.
The next second, she saw an unbelievable scene.
Spah flicked his wrist, conjuring five or six golden needles, which he then inserted one by one into the patient's body.
Huh? What's he doing?
Pera was completely bewildered.
She had only ever encountered the practice of pricking people with needles during interrogations and corporal punishment. And that was confined to novels.
She had heard that there was an old steward in Cripper Castle known as "Granny Rong," who enjoyed doing this kind of thing to maids who made mistakes.
Cold water plus acupuncture...
Is Spah interrogating and abusing someone, or is he treating them?
Pera's mind became increasingly confused as she thought about it, so she decided to stop thinking about anything altogether.
But the next second, she witnessed Spah fly out a palm strike, hitting the patient squarely.
"Ugh!"
The patient opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"stop!"
Pera's heart tightened, and she instinctively darted out.
However, an arm stopped her.
Pera was puzzled, and anger welled up inside her.
She looked up at the person who had stopped her, only to see March 7th shaking his head at her with a serious expression.
"It's traditional acupuncture!"
March 7th said softly, "I once heard Himeko mention that this is a technique originating from the Immortal Ship."
It requires stimulating specific acupoints with needles. Then, following a special technique, the body's life force is circulated to expel toxins. Unless it's a fatal or terminal illness, it usually provides relief.
As he was explaining, March 7th raised his head and put his hands on his hips.
"I see, thank you!"
Pera smiled and nodded.
But her heart was far from as calm as it appeared:
Acupuncture!
It's something I've never heard of before.
Whether it's Spa or this silly girl... as outsiders, their experiences are on a completely different level from mine.
The universe is so vast!
Open your eyes and see the world! Pella!
Even the Great Guardians must not be blindly trusted!
"Pera! Pera!"
The urgent shouts woke the girl.
Pera was slightly taken aback and looked towards Spa's location, only to find that the cold water under the patient's feet was completely different from before.
The once clear and transparent liquid was now completely stained black, looking from a distance like undissolved ink.
day!
Pera opened her mouth.
"Stop spacing out! Go and get another basin of cold water!"
"Hmm...uh! Okay!" (This appears to be a fragment of a sentence or phrase, possibly a fragment from a poem or song. The last part, "鏾《師》," is incomplete and lacks context. It's unclear what "鏾《師》" means.)
Pera snapped out of her daze, turned around and hurriedly ran to the water tank, picked up a basin, and splashed it full of pure water.
Not daring to waste any time, she picked up the basin, ran to the patient with small steps, and steadily placed the basin down.
Spah lifted the patient's foot and placed it in the new basin of water.
Whoops!
In the blink of an eye, the basin of water turned completely black, and even started bubbling and rising to the surface.
"Ugh!"
A large mouthful of black blood gushed out of the patient's mouth.
"Ah? Are you okay?"
Pera was anxious. She helped the patient up and saw that the patient had his eyes closed, his teeth clenched, and beads of cold sweat were seeping from his skin.
Does this mean... acupuncture is no longer effective?
Pera pursed her lips, her face turning pale.
The next second, she saw Spah bend his arm, pull it back at a ninety-degree angle, and then strike out with lightning speed, hitting the patient's torso.
click!
The patient leans forward and remains motionless.
The next second, a flush appeared on his face.
"Waaaah... Waaah!"
Another large mouthful of blood gushed from the patient's throat, splashing onto the ground.
Pera noticed that the blood was much redder than before, but the amount was three times that of before.
The patient's originally pale complexion instantly became much rosier.
However, upon closer observation, Pera noticed that the patient's condition was not simply a matter of improved complexion.
His appearance was even healthier than that of the healthy people on the streets of the lower districts.
"..."
Now, Pera no longer knows how to express her emotions.
All she knew was that what she saw and heard today would likely remain in her memory for a lifetime.
Pera wasn't the only one surprised.
On March 7th, he opened his mouth, his eyes sparkling with wonder.
"My God! Is this ancient acupuncture? It's so different from what I've learned!"
March 7th muttered to himself as he moved closer to Spas, squatted down, and watched him remove the gold needles one by one.
"What's the difference?"
Spah curled his lips into a smile and said.
But deep down, he wasn't very happy:
