198 Acupuncture
Yue Jiaojiao stopped in her tracks. Lowering her gaze, she noticed that Zhao Zhan’s hand that was holding hers had tightened slightly.
“I was wondering why this kid actually brought someone to the backyard today. It seems that he recognized Jiaojiao,” Doctor sun’s voice was like a great bell. He had already put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and walked over. “Are you sick or are you here to visit me again?”
“Master,” Sun Jiyan, the apprentice, looked at his disrespecting master with a face full of resentment. “Please don’t misunderstand. When have I ever brought patients to the backyard to disturb you?”
“You don’t even want me to say it, didn’t you tell me not to worry about anything even if I’m bored, I’ll just have to fiddle with medicinal herbs if that happens, right? The last time I did a consultation was two months ago when the medicine boy couldn’t stand it anymore and came to drag me in.”
From the moment he entered the backyard, Zhao Zhan had been treated as an invisible person.
Seeing that the two of them were feeling out of place, Yue Jiaojiao coughed lightly before looking at Doctor Sun and explaining her illness. She then continued, “I should thank your apprentice for bringing me here. I came here this time because my husband accompanied me.”
Sun Jiyan looked at his master, who was angry but did not dare to say anything.
His master’s reply was too quick for him to retort! Moreover, the last time they met, she was clearly just a little girl. Although he felt that she looked recognizable, he did not dare to rashly recognize her. He was unlike his master, who called her name with such certainty.
“Did you hit your head?”
The relaxed look on Doctor Sun’s face disappeared completely. He hurriedly asked Yue Jiaojiao to sit on the stone bench in the backyard to take her pulse.
“You said that Zhou Xuanming had already prescribed you medicine, right?”
“Yes, the blood clot in my head healed because of Doctor Zhou’s good medicine.”
“That kid’s medical skills are just so-so.” Doctor Sun pouted like an old child and then took out a roll of silver needles from the medicine box. “If you want to remember, I’ll have to carry out acupuncture on your head. It may hurt a little. Will you be okay with it?”
Yue Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at Zhao Zhan.
“Where did you find your husband?” Doctor Sun also raised his head and glanced at Zhao Zhan. “He looks a little clumsy.”
“Zhao Zhan isn’t clumsy,” Yue Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head, then pulled Zhao Zhan’s hand to make him sit on the stone bench beside her. “It’s just that we were talking the whole time, and he was listening attentively, so he didn’t know how to interrupt.”
Zhao Zhan held her palm and looked at Doctor Sun with a serious expression. “Doctor Sun, thank you for doing this.”
“Silly of me to assume. It’s just that I’ve watched Jiaojiao grow up, so it’s inevitable that I’ve grown fond of her and want what’s best for her.”
As Doctor Sun spoke, he had already pulled out a silver needle.
Seeing that he had immediately started to do the acupuncture, Yue Jiaojiao’s initial intention to ask a few more questions was temporarily put aside. If the acupuncture was really effective and she could remember, that would be even better.
“How many more acupuncture sessions do you need? Why don’t you stay in the room you used to live in when you were young?”
Hearing him say so, Yue Jiaojiao naturally wouldn’t refuse.
“That would be great, thank you.”
“There’s no need to be so polite with me. Later on, tell Jiyan which inn you’re staying at. I’ll get him to go over and pack your luggage.”
“Doctor Sun, I’ll pack the luggage. There’s no need to trouble your apprentice.” A man’s instinctive intuition made Zhao Zhan speak vigilantly. “Your apprentice has so many patients to see every day, so there’s no need to trouble him.”
