The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Look quickly! Is he sweating?” One of the nurses, sharp-eyed, spotted a barely noticeable layer of sweat forming on the young man’s back, glinting under the light.

“Does that mean he can be saved?” An old woman eagerly asked, her eyes sparkling. Dead people don’t sweat.

“Water makes up sixty to seventy percent of the human body. Right now, we’re just driving the moisture out of him and removing the toxins along with it,” answered Xiao Shun tersely.

“Does he still have a chance?” The old woman continued to press.

Xiao Shun ignored her. He understood the old woman’s anxiety, but at that moment, he couldn’t provide an answer. He continued inserting silver needles into precise acupoints on the patient. As more and more needles were inserted, Xiao Shun’s own forehead started to bead with sweat.

The nurse gently wiped his brow with a towel.

“Thank you,” said Xiao Shun, his hands never pausing as he acknowledged her help.

All eyes were fixed on Xiao Shun as he worked, his silver needles threading into the young man’s back like embroidery. Sweat stains began to spread across the patient’s back, as if he were in a sauna. Large sweat drops rolled down the sides of his spine and quickly soaked the bedsheet.

Once all the needles were in place, the young man’s body was riddled with silver needles, making him look like a porcupine. Xiao Shun, now drenched in sweat, grabbed a towel to dry off, then touched some of the sweat on the young man’s back and sniffed it.

The old woman, worried that she had upset Xiao Shun with her questions, did not dare to speak again. Instead, she watched him anxiously, her eyes filled with hope for the answer she longed to hear. Everyone else in the room was also watching Xiao Shun, their looks filled with questions.

Xiao Shun detected a foul smell, like rotting meat mixed with the scent of rotten eggs. It was incredibly unpleasant. If it were any stronger, it might have made him vomit.

“The toxins have been forced out. However, because he was poisoned for a long time, I’m not sure if I can completely remove them. As for whether he will wake up, we’ll need to observe him after I remove the needles,” Xiao Shun explained. His words offered some hope, but he was not entirely certain. While he was confident in treating most ailments, he was unsure when faced with a strange and unusual disease.

The elderly couple grew even more anxious. The next few minutes would determine life and death, a wait that was unbearable for anyone.

After about ten minutes, the young man’s back was damp, as if water had just been splashed on it. His skin was no longer purplish; instead, it showed a faint flush of color.

Xiao Shun began to carefully remove the needles, sterilizing them and placing them back in their container.

“Help me turn him over,” he instructed.

Several medical staff quickly moved to assist, flipping the young man over. They were startled to feel a semblance of warmth in his body. They exchanged incredulous glances, their scalps tingling at the thought that someone could come back from the dead. It was beyond belief.

Xiao Shun didn’t say anything, and they didn’t dare to move recklessly.

Once the patient was turned over, Xiao Shun felt the young man’s life force growing stronger. He quickly took the young man’s wrist to check his pulse.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The room fell silent.

After a moment, Xiao Shun let out a breath and smiled with relief. “Give him some fluids,” he said.

At his words, everyone quickly understood. He was saved!

The medical staff, thrilled, began to scramble to prepare various medical equipment.

The old couple were a bit slower to comprehend, but after a moment of stunned silence, they understood.

“Is my son saved?” The old woman clung to Xiao Shun’s hand, asking excitedly.

“Rest assured, he’s fine. However, I will need to perform acupuncture on him a few more times to completely remove the toxins from his body. After that, I’ll prescribe him some herbal medicine. He should be back to normal in a month,” Xiao Shun reassured her, patting her withered hand.

“He’s come back to life. He’s really come back to life.”

“My God! This is unbelievable. Although his vital signs are still weak, he’s truly been brought back!”

The medical staff, having prepared the necessary equipment, watched the monitor display the patient’s vital signs. They were as excited as children.

Hearing their words, the old woman finally believed it was real. She tried to kneel down in gratitude, but Xiao Shun was already prepared and quickly helped her up.

“Your son was poisoned while trying to save others. Good people willreceive good karma,” Xiao Shun said with a weary smile.

“Thank you, thank you,” the elderly couple repeated their thanks.

“Young man, you are our family’s benefactor. What’s your name?” The old man, visibly moved, took out a wad of bills from his pocket, amounting to about two or three thousand yuan, and thrust it into Xiao Shun’s hands. “We didn’t bring much money in our rush. Please take this for now. We’ll give you more later.”

Xiao Shun naturally wouldn’t accept it and tried to push his hand away. “It was nothing. Besides, if I were to charge, I wouldn’t be charging you. The scenic area is responsible for the medical fees.”

“The scenic area will cover their part, but this is our gratitude. If you don’t accept it, we’ll feel it’s not enough,” the old man insisted with a flushed face.

Xiao Shun, left with no choice, accepted the money. He didn’t like to refuse such gestures back and forth.

“You should remember to get reimbursed from the scenic area. Let this doctor be your witness.”

He pointed to the thin-faced doctor from before.

The thin-faced doctor, still in shock, suddenly seemed to remember something. He shouted, “Who has the funeral home’s number? Quick, call them and bring the other guy back!”

Two firefighters had been sent; one was Zhang Xian, and the other had already been sent to the funeral home!

The medical staff had been busy until now and hadn’t been able to process the situation. Hearing the doctor’s words, they all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

“I have it! I’ll call now.”

“Quickly, quickly!”

If the other man had been cremated, it would have been a serious issue; we’re talking about a human life here!

They couldn’t bear such a responsibility.

If Xiao Shun hadn’t revived the first man, it would have been one thing. But now that it was proven that there was hope, they couldn’t give up.

Fortunately, they quickly confirmed that the man hadn’t been sent to the crematorium yet. After all, he was a public servant who had died in the line of duty; there were procedures to follow, and family and friends needed a chance to mourn.

“Really? He was revived?” Outside the conference room of the scenic area, Tan Ping, the fire brigade chief, received a call from a colleague at the hospital. His face was filled with joy.

“Really, Captain. Zhang Xian is safe now. They’re bringing Bai Tiejun back from the funeral home.”

This sounded strange to hear. Who had ever heard of a person being taken back to the hospital from a funeral home?

“What exactly happened?” Tan Ping asked, puzzled.

“There’s a young man in the hospital who knows acupuncture. He forced the poison out with needles, and the patient came back to life. They said it was some kind of neurotoxin that can cause a state of apparent death, where the poisoned person appears dead. I’m not clear on the details. I reported to you as soon as I heard,” explained the colleague on the other end of the line.
