Chapter 63 Someone Has Been Poisoned

  "No more, no more! Xiao Hao, spare me... spare Lan Jie..."

  On the bed in the room, Li Ruolan tightly hugged Zhou Hao, her fingers tracing out streaks of blood on his back, her delicate body trembling violently with intense pleasure, her long legs also tightly clamping around Zhou Hao's waist.

  Zhou Hao's body undulated rapidly on her soft and delicate body, as Li Ruolan let out a long sigh. He then leaned over Li Ruolan, gently kissing her eyes and lips. He flipped his body over, letting Li Ruolan lean into his embrace, his hands slowly caressing the smooth skin of her back.

  Li Ruolan lay on his chest, panting and gasping for breath, her eyes tightly closed as if still savoring the wonderful aftertaste. After a while, she said: "It won't do, going on like this, I'll be ruined by you sooner or later."

  Zhou Hao hugged her and laughed: "Lan sister, do you know that many women have never experienced this kind of pleasure in their lives? Look at me, I can give it to you several times a day, you should feel lucky." In fact, he had given up the opportunity to get Zhao Yuqin last night, but his desire had not retreated and was still stirring.

  Li Ruolan immediately pinched Zhou Hao's ear upon hearing this, "You little rascal, where did you learn these indecent things? Tell the truth, have you been secretly reading obscene publications?"

  Zhou Hao chuckled and rubbed his hands on Li Ruolan's obviously fuller upper body, "With Sister Lan accompanying me, do I still need to go see those things?"

  With Zhou Hao holding her like this, Li Ruolan's body was also soft and weak. Her fingers drew small circles on Zhou Hao's chest, "During the winter break, I'll go back to accompany my parents. On the days when I'm not by your side, you will miss me, right?"

  "Don't say that, I don't even dare to imagine how to spend days without you by my side." Zhou Hao could feel Li Ruolan's deep attachment to him. This beautiful teacher, since opening up her heart and accepting their relationship, quickly fell into the role of a little woman. Liu Shichao and others would never have thought that Li Ruolan, who was elegant and eloquent on the podium, would be rolling over with him in bed.

  In a week, except for the two days when Li Ruolan was on duty at night, Zhou Hao would come to her place every day to spend the spring evening together. Although they couldn't stay overnight, they could still enjoy each other's company to their heart's content. Liu Shichao and others said that Li Ruolan had become more charming recently, also thanks to Zhou Hao's nourishment. And because of the contraceptive prescription in "Shennong Bencao" that had no side effects and could even nourish the body, Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan had even less worries.

  Suddenly, Li Ruolan stretched out her jade hand and grabbed Xiao Zhou, also pinching him twice with force. "I'm warning you, when I'm not by your side, don't flirt with other girls."

  "Got it, I won't." Zhou Hao said with a somewhat guilty conscience. However, the little Zhou below quickly recovered under Li Ruolan's stimulation and said to Li Ruolan: "Sister Lan, let's do it again."

  Li Ruolan also felt that the thing in her hand had started to swell and heat up again, and before she could refuse, Zhou Hao had already pressed her down, and the evil dragon had also drilled in familiarly.

  "Wait, wait, wait... Really can't take it anymore... I'll go crazy... Ah! Be gentle... You little pervert!" In the end, her refusal turned into a sultry voice, and the quiet air began to heat up again.

  The next day, Zhou Hao received a call from Xiao Jiming, saying that Xiao Nanyue was ready and asking Zhou Hao to come over for treatment. So Zhou Hao immediately rushed to Xiao Jiming's home and also met with Xiao Nanyue.

  Xiao Nan Yue's legs had been soaked in a special medicinal liquid, and now they presented a reddish hue, looking somewhat swollen. He said to Zhou Hao: "Younger brother, next I will have Ji Ming apply needles to my life gate point and central flow point, you just use these two silver needles to inject true energy into my body, helping me repair my meridians."

  Zhou Hao nodded, and Xiao Nan Yue continued: "Younger brother, when you infuse your true energy later, remember to do it slowly and gradually. Don't be impatient, or else you'll shatter my entire spine, and I won't have any chance of recovery."

  It concerns whether Xiao Nan Yue can be restored, and also relates to whether Xiao Ji Ming can be brought under his own account, so Zhou Hao is naturally serious about it.

  He and Xiao Jiming lifted Xiao Nanyue from the wheelchair and let Xiao Nanyue lie prone on the bamboo bed in the hall. And Xiao Jiming also took out a small, exquisite brocade box, which opened to reveal rows of silver needles of varying lengths inside.

  Only to see Xiao Jiming lift up Xiao Nanyue's clothes, exposing his lower back, then he took out a silver needle, concentrating on looking at Xiao Nanyue's lower back. Before Zhou Hao could react, Xiao Jiming swung his right hand and the silver needle steadily pierced into Xiao Nanyue's life gate acupoint.

  Zhou Haixin was shocked, Xiao Jiming's accuracy in finding the acupoints and his skillful use of force far surpassed his own. It would be impossible to learn this without more than ten years of bitter practice. And Xiao Nanyue, who was lying on the bed, also smiled and said: "Jiming's innate talent for medicine is the highest in our Xiao family for generations. When I learned this set of acupuncture techniques from my master, it took me fifteen years, but Jiming only needed five years to master it." His tone was full of pride.

  While Xiao Nanyue was speaking, Xiao Jiming had already inserted the second silver needle into his Zhongzhu Xue. And Xiao Nanyue also said to Zhou Hao: "Alright, young master, now you can infuse your true energy into my body."

  Zhou Hao responded with a sound, then separately pinched those two silver needles, slowly pouring his own true energy into Xiao Nan Yue's body.

  After eating the dragon's saliva fruit, Zhou Hao had also successfully cultivated the "Nourishing Qi Record". His inner strength was now so deep that few people could rival him. However, he felt that many of Xiao Nan's meridians around his spine were broken and it would be difficult to repair them with true qi. Moreover, he had to be extremely careful, otherwise, if he wasn't careful, he might really shatter Xiao Nan's spine.

  Repairing is much more difficult than destroying. It's easy for Zhou Hao to smash the boulder with one punch, but repairing the damaged meridians is extremely laborious. In a short while, a layer of fine sweat had already appeared on Zhou Hao's forehead, and Xiao Jiming immediately helped him wipe it away with a handkerchief.

  Xiao Nanyue was actually also suffering greatly, but he clenched his teeth from start to finish and didn't make a sound. Zhou Hao saw the bulging veins on his hand and admired the old man's tenacity.

  After a long time, Xiao Nan Yue finally gasped for air and weakly said: "Alright, little brother, you can stop now."

  Zhou Hao carefully withdrew his true energy and let out a long sigh, while Xiao Jiming also pulled out the two silver needles according to Xiao Nanyue's instructions. "Dad, how do you feel?"

  Xiao Nan Yue took a deep breath, his face showing a very strained expression, and then Zhou Hao and Xiao Ji Ming saw his toes move slightly. Xiao Ji Ming was overjoyed to the point of tears, hugging Xiao Nan Yue: "Dad, it's successful, you can recover!" Then he tightly grasped Zhou Hao's hand, "Master uncle, thank you, thank you so much!"

  Zhou Hao also had a smile on his face, and a great sense of accomplishment arose in his heart, as if he had also felt the glory of healing others. He said to Xiao Nan Yue: "Xiao Shixiong, I believe you will be able to get out of bed and walk soon."

  Xiao Nanyue also nodded with a smile, "However, I still need to inject my legs every day, and I need to apply 'Bone-continuing Powder' externally. To fully recover, it will take at least half a year."

  Zhou Hao knew that in Western medicine, Xiao Nan Yue's condition was actually hemiplegia, which is extremely difficult to cure. If they announced the successful treatment of hemiplegia, it would inevitably cause a huge stir in the medical community. However, curing hemiplegia requires assistance from someone with extremely strong internal energy, and even Zhou Hao, with his level of skill, had to expend a great deal of effort to cure Xiao Nan Yue.

  At this time, Zhou Hao asked Xiao Jiming: "Xiao brother..." As soon as the title came out, Xiao Nanyue frowned and said: "Younger martial brother, there is an order between elders and youngers, Jiming is your junior, you can just call him Jiming."

  Zhou Hao knew that Xiao Nanyue was a very traditional person and it was not good to argue with him, so he could only ask Xiao Jiming: "Jiming, you graduated from Xiehe Medical University, do you understand the professional knowledge of Chinese medicine extraction?" He clearly wanted to implement and promote the prescriptions in "Shennong Bencao Jing", but he couldn't let consumers decoct them like ordinary Chinese medicine, instead, they had to be directly extracted and processed into finished medicines.

  Xiao Jiming shook his head, "I studied internal medicine back then, but I know people who specialize in pharmaceutical extraction. Master uncle, why are you asking this?"

  "Because in the future I want to see a pharmaceutical group, and I want to extract and process traditional Chinese medicine into finished drugs for promotion."

  Xiao Jiming and his son immediately agreed with Zhou Hao's words, Xiao Jiming said: "I had this idea before, but it needs a lot of financial support. Master uncle, do you have enough funds now?"

  "Not yet." Zhou Hao smiled wryly, "But it will be soon, I think I'll prepare as soon as possible."

  Xiao Jiming said: "If Brother can use me, just open your voice, and can promote Chinese medicine, I will support it." Xiao Nanyue also immediately expressed his willingness to help Zhou Hao with all his might.

  Zhou Hao also took the opportunity to invite Xiao Jiming, asking him to go with him to the producing areas of those Chinese medicines during the winter vacation, because Xiao Jiming was well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine and had a deeper understanding of various Chinese medicinal materials than Zhou Hao, making him an invaluable good assistant.

  Xiao Jiming was grateful and promised Zhou Hao that he would let Xiao Nanyue go.

  Just as the two were about to discuss the details, an old worker from the Jizheng Medicine Hall downstairs hurried up and said to Xiao Nan Yue: "Boss, there is a military officer looking for you. Oh, and that young lady who came with Mr. Zhou the day before yesterday has also arrived."

  "Sister?" Zhou Hao knew the old worker was referring to Zhao Yuqin, but he found it strange that she had suddenly come here.

  Xiao Nanyue immediately asked the old worker to invite them up, and soon Zhou Hao saw Zhao Yuqin and two men in military uniforms come, looking at the epaulets of the two men, one was a lieutenant colonel and the other was a colonel.

  Zhao Yuqin saw Zhou Hao and immediately said: "Little Hao, you're also here? Oh, right, you're here to help Mr. Xiao with his injuries."

  When Zhao Yuqin said that, Zhou Hao knew she didn't come here looking for him, and hurriedly asked: "Sister, what's wrong?"

  Zhao Yuqin said: "There is a general in the army who has been poisoned, so I want to ask Mr. Xiao to go and take a look."
