Just now, under a series of my actions.
Finally, the old lady in her shroud moved, then coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of phlegm, followed by gasping for breath, muttering, "That was close, almost suffocated me!"
She made a great effort to turn her head and look at me, saying, "Young man, you're amazing! Thank you!" Except for myself, everyone in a state of panic did not notice the problem in the old lady's words. No one mentioned who saved her, so why did she thank me directly?
The next day, major self-media platforms and short video platforms exploded with a big scandal:
The sister-in-law of a wealthy family in Jiangcheng cheated with her younger brother-in-law, and was caught by her mother-in-law. The old lady was so angry that she died on the spot! Fortunately, the experts from the Funeral home intervened and miraculously revived the old lady...!
The Jiangcheng Evening News reported more objectively: an old lady in the city appeared to have a false death due to phlegm blocking her throat, but was rescued from the brink of death by a skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner using acupuncture and moxibustion treatment!
The fact proves that traditional Chinese medicine is a great art and a national treasure! In fact, after the old lady expressed her gratitude to me, she seemed to be afraid of leaving at any time, and she revealed a shocking secret to everyone, pulling eldest son along.
Mr. Zhao's father passed away early, and the old lady usually stayed with her two daughters. Eldest son is busy all over the place, but these days he wanted to come and see daughter-in-law. Youngest son also came over, accompanying the old lady for meals and conversations. The old lady was happy: "This youngest child may not be very capable, but he's still good to his old mother."
As people age, their spirits decline. At noon, the old lady was dozing off on the second floor when she was suddenly awakened by a sound. She got up to check and was stunned when she reached the top of the stairs: on the large sofa in the living room downstairs, her eldest son's wife and youngest son were entangled together... There were clothes scattered all over the floor.
The eldest son's wife said, "Let's go to the room, so your mom won't find out..."
The youngest son's voice: "It's okay, my mom is old and hard of hearing... Hurry and take it off, I can't wait... It's more exciting here..."
The old lady suddenly felt a surge of blood and phlegm in her throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it. In a daze, her daughter-in-law reached out to check her breath, saying, "Quick, take her to the hospital, she's still breathing!" Her youngest son's voice replied, "No, if my mom wakes up, our secret will be exposed!" The daughter-in-law was at a loss, "What should we do then?"
youngest son said coldly and sharply, "Anyway, my mom probably won't wake up. I'll go to the hospital and have someone I know issue a death certificate..."
Later, Mr. Zhao not only covered the funeral expenses, but also gave Sister Liu and me 10,000 yuan each. Sister Liu asked me to accept it and told me in front of Mr. Zhao, " Xiao Hu, don't talk nonsense outside."
After the funeral, Sister Liu started paying special attention to me. Before, she would just stand there and give instructions, but now she leans in and talks to me. One day, she called me up to the third floor, where I had never been before. Here, she has her office, gym, and I think, her bedroom.
She asked me to sit in front of her desk, but I didn't dare. The room was filled with the scent of a woman, making me feel uneasy. She sat down, leaning forward, and asked me, "What else can you do?" Her collar was open low, and standing there, I could see two full and white mounds and a deep cleavage.
I swallowed hard and forced myself to look at her face. "Traditional Chinese medicine is a family tradition. I may not be a good student, but my grandfather taught me to identify Chinese herbs when I was four, and I could recite the 'Song of Herbal Decoctions' at five. When I started elementary school, I began studying the 'Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon,' the ' Shanghan Lun,' the 'Shennong Ben Cao Jing,' as well as the 'Ling Shu,' 'Su Wen,' and 'Mai Jing'... At two, I started practicing horse stance and qigong with my grandfather. At three, I ran with sandbags tied to my legs, jumped out of a sand pit in the yard, punched sandbags, and practiced on plum-blossom stakes..."
After hearing my words, Sister Liu's expression became animated. "I didn't expect you, a little brat, to be so talented! Are you really skilled in martial arts?"
"I don't know, I've never fought with anyone," I honestly replied, my eyes involuntarily drawn to the scenery inside her collar. She asked again, "Are you eighteen in Western years or in Chinese years?" I thought for a moment and said, "My grandmother said I was born on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, so I'll be eighteen in a little over a month."
Sister Liu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your grandmother said that? What about your mother?"
I grimaced and said with a bitter smile, "My grandmother said I have bad luck. She thinks I caused my mother's death because she had a massive hemorrhage when I was born."
Sister Liu's eyes lit up for a moment, then she quickly changed the subject, "Are you adapting well working with me? Do you have any other plans?"
I lowered my head and replied, "My grandfather said I'm still young and shouldn't run around blindly..." Sister Liu smiled slightly and took out an envelope from the drawer, handing it to me. "Keep this, you can go now."
