Chapter 228: Forget It If My Sister Doesn’t Want
"Sister, don't you want to ask me why I don't use the nine yang-restoring needles?"
Yu Niang still asked about the doubts in her heart. People who had come here in the past, including Wen Yinzhi, had advised her to hand over the Nine Needles for Restoring Yang so that others could use acupuncture to save her.
Jiang Tunan sighed.
"This matter should be decided by you, not by others."
Looking at Yu Niang's appearance, Jiang Tunan guessed that maybe she also knew that the Nine Needles of Restoring Yang could not bring the dead back to life.
The only people who knew about this incident at that time were the Gao family and a few generals in the military camp, including Prince Guangping.
So many years have passed, and the generals at that time either died in battle or retired, and even the Gao family has no bloodline left.
"elder sister.."
Yu Niang looked a little hesitant, her lips moved but no sound came out.
"Sister."
Xiao Wu lay on the side of Yu Niang's bed and said softly,
"I hurt."
Yu Niang first patted Xiao Wu's head to comfort him, and then a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Sister, I want to tell you the secret of the Nine Needles to Restore Yang."
Jiang Tunan was a little surprised, but soon calmed down and smiled.
"Some secrets, once you decide to keep them, just stick to them."
It seems that Yu Niang really knows that the Nine Needles of Huiyang can bring back the dead but not bring them back to life. It's just that Jiang Tunan feels even more sorry for the two children, as they have suffered so much in vain just to guard this acupuncture method that cannot bring the dead back to life.
Now that the genius doctor Wen Zhao has passed away, the Dayin Man wants the Nine Needles of Rejuvenation just to make Daxing less able to deal with the Dayin poison. Now the only two successors of the Nine Needles of Rejuvenation have been controlled by the court. Maybe the Dayin Man will go all out in the end and kill these two children directly.
"Sister, if I really can't hold on, then the Nine Needles to Restore Yang may disappear completely from this world."
Yu Niang tried hard to support herself and sit up.
"Sister, those people all want the Nine Yang Rejuvenating Needles. I can clearly see the greed in their eyes. However, the Nine Yang Rejuvenating Needles must not be given to these people, otherwise it will lead to disaster."
"Don't I look like a greedy person?"
Jiang Tunan claims that she is not a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. She cannot resist money and power. She wants to live here comfortably and freely, and money and power are indispensable.
"But my sister is a good person."
"Oh, okay, okay, I feel embarrassed by your praise."
It was the first time that Jiang Tunan was looked at with such sincerity and told "You are a good person".
Yu Niang wanted to hand the Nine Needles of Rejuvenation to her, but if she accepted it, it would also mean accepting a time bomb.
It feels like your colleague who is about to resign first tells you that you are a very good person, and then smiles and transfers a lot of work to you.
So this is what it feels like to be given the nice guy card.
"Xiao Wu, come here."
Yu Niang called Xiao Wu closer, and Xiao Wu understood what she meant and began to take off his clothes.
Jiang Tunan:?
Is there some kind of ritual before telling this secret?
But this feeling did not last long, Jiang Tunan was shocked by the scene before him.
I saw densely packed blood words engraved on Xiao Wu's back. Those words were as big as ants and must have been engraved by very thin silver needles.
No wonder Xiao Wu always had a fever before, with such a big wound on his back. This kid’s body is really strong.
He has the potential to be the male protagonist in a novel about cultivating immortals.
"This...is this?"
Jiang Tunan began to stutter when he spoke. Yu Niang looked at Xiao Wu with a complicated expression, but Xiao Wu stayed quietly aside.
"This is the secret of the Nine Needles for Restoring Yang. Mother thought about it and decided that this method was the safest."
Jiang Tunan nodded. Wow, Yue Fei only had four words carved on his back, but the densely packed words on Xiao Wu's back made her scalp tingle.
Suddenly she admired Yu Niang and Xiao Wu's mother for being able to do this.
"Sister..there is one more thing I want to tell you."
Yu Niang looked somewhat bewildered, and Xiao Wu beside her also lowered his head silently.
"The Nine Needles for Restoring Yang cannot actually..."
"Can't bring the dead back to life?"
Yu Niang and Xiao Wu both looked at Jiang Tunan in disbelief, and Jiang Tunan shrugged indifferently.
"Actually, from your previous performance, I can guess a little."
Actually, I only found out after cheating.
But no matter what, Jiang Tunan's smart and perceptive personality has been established in front of the two children.
In the eyes of Yu Niang and Xiao Wu, Jiang Tunan at this moment was like a fairy with her own glow, exuding a fascinating charm.
Jiang Tunan: (serious) (wise look)
Yu Niang & Xiao Wu: (Eyes slightly widened) (Gazes of admiration)
"Sister, can you let Xiao Wu go with you today? I'm afraid it will be unsafe for him to stay here."
Jiang Tunan shook his head.
"No, it would be too obvious if I took Xiao Wu away. Only if the two of you continue to stay together, the words on Xiao Wu's back will not be discovered."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Tunan instructed again,
"During this period of time, don't believe anyone except Wen Yinzhi, and don't eat anything given by anyone."
Jiang Tunan looked at the empty room and muttered,
"I'll have to get you some more supplies when the time comes. There's not even a decent stool in this house, and I see that the clothes you two are wearing are old."
"It seems like it will cost a lot of money. Why not go and get some money from cousin Mingxu? He has money anyway."
"But we can't keep you in the Imperial Medical Bureau forever. We have to find a way to get you out."
Jiang Tunan's mumbling made the two children next to him feel at ease. Yu Niang rested her head on one side and gently closed her eyes, while Xiao Wu walked to Jiang Tunan and pulled his sleeve.
"what happened?"
Jiang Tunan looked at Xiao Wu, but heard Xiao Wu say,
"Sister is sleepy, can you help her sleep?"
"what?"
Jiang Tunan has no brothers or sisters since she was a child, and she rarely sees relatives during the holidays, so she has no chance to interact with children. How could she coax a child to sleep?
Moreover, although Yu Niang is not very old, she would be in junior high school in modern times. There is no need to coax her to sleep. If she really needs to be coaxed to sleep, it would probably make noise.
"When we were little, our mother would sing us lullabies."
Xiao Wu looked at Jiang Tunan expectantly.
"Sister, you can't do that, can you?"
Xiao Wu's expression seemed to say "No way, no way, you don't even know this." Jiang Tunan clenched his fists. He thought this kid had become sensible, but he was still so annoying.
"Don't push me too far."
Xiao Wu pretended to be pitiful and said in a wronged tone,
"Xiao Wu misses his mother very much. If sister doesn't want to, then forget it. Anyway, Xiao Wu is a child without his mother's love now."
"I won't be too sad. I'll just be alone for a while."
Jiang Tunan: ...Where did the green tea come from?
"Is it your sister who needs to be coaxed to sleep, or is it you who needs to be coaxed to sleep? How old are you? Do you still need someone to coax you to sleep?"
Xiao Wu did not show any shyness on his face, instead he admitted it openly.
"My mother said that I am still a child, and the most important thing right now is to grow up healthily. If I can't get enough sleep, I will become a dwarf in the future."
Jiang Tunan: 6
