The Crazy Son-In-Law

“What are you doing?!”

The young nurse who had been busy taking people’s temperatures only noticed their situation now. She immediately widened her eyes, looking at them incredulously and screamed.

Her shout attracted the attention of the relatives of the other patients in the ward, all looking over in astonishment.

“Curing the poison. Since you’ve been busy for half a day and still don’t know what kind of poison the patient has, we can’t just let her wait for death here.”

As Xiao Shun spoke, he took out another silver needle and quickly inserted it into the old lady’s acupoint.

“Stop it! Are you crazy? This could cost a life!” the young nurse shouted.

Xiao Shun ignored her, looked up at Fan Qun and said, “Pant leg.”

Fan Qun understood, walked over and lifted the old lady’s pant leg.

Seeing Xiao Shun’s serious demeanor and his acupuncture technique, the couple could at least tell that Xiao Shun had some medical skills, and so they were slightly reassured.

“Are you deaf when I tell you to stop?!” The young nurse was anxious, walked over and scolded loudly.

Seeing that Xiao Shun had no intention of paying attention to her, she turned to the dark-faced man and his wife.

“How can you relatives be so unreasonable? Who is he that you let him do whatever he wants? What if something happens? Who’s responsible?”

The man with the dark face was at a loss for a response, only opting for silence.

“I’ll take responsibility,” said Xiao Shun with a light voice.

Although these people were not suffering due to the polluted water discharged by Starline, at the root of it all, they were sacrificial pawns used by others to suppress Starline.

Regardless, he felt a duty to heal them.

“What a joke, you take responsibility? How audacious! Who do you think you are? If something goes wrong with the patients, can you bear that responsibility?” The little nurse, her face red and ears burning, mocked.

With so many experts in the hospital unable to understand the nature of the poison affecting these people, how much ability could this seemingly clueless young man possess?Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Get out,” Xiao Shun said, not wishing to listen to her incessant chatter.

“You… you just wait!”

The little nurse paused for a moment, stomped her foot in irritation, and stormed out.

The patients here were all villagers from the same village, all familiar with each other, and naturally, they didn’t believe that Xiao Shun could cure their family members’ diseases.

“What are you doing? The government arranged for us to come here because the doctors here are good, and the conditions are better than other hospitals. The doctors can’t treat us now, can we trust this man?”

A lean middle-aged man, around fifty years old, questioned the man with the dark face.

“Yes, aren’t you harming your mother?” someone sighed.

“My mother is already in this state, their doctors haven’t done anything till now, isn’t it the same as waiting for death?” The man with the dark face said helplessly.

“It’s better to let Mr. Xiao try.”

The conversation entered Xiao Shun’s left ear and exited the right, he didn’t pay any attention.

He was fully focused on eliminating the Blood Devouring Gu, a ruthless and dangerous poison, from the old lady’s body. He had encountered this during his travels with his master at Hill Cinders, originating from the Xin family in Hill Cinders, an ancient secluded family that rarely involved themselves in the outside world.

Xiao Shun couldn’t understand why the Xin family would suddenly appear here.

Moreover, he didn’t seem to have offended the Xin family, so why would they suddenly target him? Besides, ordinary people couldn’t invite the Xin family to work for them.

At this moment, the hurried sound of high heels tapping on the floor came from outside.

A woman in her forties, wearing a white coat and black-framed glasses, walked in. Despite her age, she appeared younger, still holding onto her charm. She scanned the ward with a serious face, emanating a strong presence.

Behind her were two nurses and several young male doctors.

“Dr. Qiu, it’s him! He’s been treating our patients without listening to advice, what if something goes wrong?”

The little nurse from earlier pointed at Xiao Shun, her voice filled with grievance.

Dr. Qiu, also known as Qiu Jiali, was a chief physician in the department of traditional medicine. Since the doctors in charge couldn’t identify the root cause of the disease, she was brought in for consultation.

“I don’t care who you are, get out of here right now. This is a hospital, not a place for you to make a scene. If someone dies, you can’t shoulder that responsibility,” Dr. Qiu said sternly.

“Are you done yet?”

Xiao Shun frowned impatiently, not even looking up at her, and casually said, “If you really knew what you were doing, we wouldn’t be in this situation. It seems to me that you are the ones wanting someone’s life.”

“Neglect of duty. So many emergency patients are waiting here, yet there’s not even a single doctor. Now you come in shouting and making a fuss. Can your faces get any thicker?”

Xiao Shun manipulated the needle, slowly infusing the old lady’s body with streams of Qi.

Meanwhile.

“Mr. Qin, we are extremely fortunate that you happened to be in Stillwater. Now our patients have hope.”

At the entrance of the emergency building, Zhou Shuqing shook Qin Guangyuan’s hand with excitement.

Ever since Qin Guangyuan obtained the Fallen Seven, he had been holed up in Wang Ye’s Bamboo Court, engrossed in studying and pondering. He was so engrossed that he had forgotten about his return to the capital.

Zhou Shuqing was a person with some fame in the field of traditional medicine. He had met Qin Guangyuan a few times at the annual Traditional Medicine Symposium, and they had a mutual recognition. He knew early on that Qin had arrived in Stillwater, but he hadn’t found the time to visit.

Today, the hospital had suddenly admitted a significant number of patients, and even Zhou Shuqing was baffled about the cause of their illness. The first person he naturally thought of was Xiao Shun, but he felt a little embarrassed to bother him again after having done so several times already. Wang Ye was an eccentric, and reportedly hadn’t been practicing medicine much in the past year, so Zhou thought of Qin Guangyuan.

He made a phone call, and to his surprise, Qin Guangyuan agreed to come right away. The old man was in a great mood these days, especially after reading the second half of “Fallen Seven,” making him eager to apply his skills, though he hadn’t had the opportunity to do so yet. “Since you asked, how could I refuse? Besides, healing the sick is our duty as doctors,” Qin Guangyuan said cheerfully, leaving Zhou Shuqing slightly puzzled.

Qin Guangyuan, often considered to be on par with Wang Ye as a master of traditional medicine, was famously proud. It wasn’t unusual for talented people to have a certain amount of pride. However, he seemed much humbler today. Qin’s pride was undeniable, but since seeing Xiao Shun’s interpretation of “Fallen Seven,” he realized there were others more skilled, which naturally made him more humble.

As they talked, they headed towards the second-floor ward. Just as they reached the ward area, they heard a commotion. Both men were slightly taken aback and slowly approached.
