Finally, Old Master Bi chose to remain conscious. Not long after, he felt a swelling in his arm. Before he could speak, Ji Xingmi saw this and immediately made an incision on his arm.
Bi Fang watched as a good amount of black blood flowed from his father's wrist. If one got close enough to smell it, they would detect a foul, fishy odor that was quite unpleasant.
Ji Xingmi waited until the blood flowing from Old Master Bi's wrist returned to its original color before slowly removing the needles. After all the needles were out, she applied hemostatic powder to the wound on his wrist and bandaged it.
Seeing this, Bi Fang went to help his father get dressed, while Ji Xingmi took the black blood outside to dispose of it.
When she returned after handling it, Old Master Bi had already tidied himself up and was sitting nearby waiting for her.
"Is this considered cured?"
"Mostly. The rest can be handled with medicine!"
Ji Xingmi handed the medicine bottle from her pocket to Old Master Bi and explained how to take it. She then poured him a cup of water and asked him to drink some. While he was bathing, Ji Xingmi had already replaced the water with spiritual spring water, which would help him recover faster and prevent him from feeling weak.
As expected, after drinking the water, Old Master Bi felt invigorated. He attributed it to the detoxification and didn't think much of it!
"Since the poison is cured, let's go back tomorrow!"
"Dad, you should rest for another two days!"
"I feel..." Before Old Master Bi could finish speaking, Ji Xingmi interrupted him.
"Huh? Going back so soon? Aren't you going to treat your leg?"
"It can still be treated?"
Yes, Old Master Bi was in a wheelchair. Since he had fainted last time, his legs, which could previously take a few steps, now struggled even to stand. Hence, he was directly in a wheelchair.
"Yes, it's not a big problem. The poison is gone. I'll just give you a few more acupuncture treatments and apply some medicinal plaster, and you'll be fine in a few days!"
"A few days is how many days?"
"If you cooperate, it'll be three days. If you don't cooperate, it depends on how you don't cooperate!"
"..."
"Grandpa, it's not a big deal. Your body is almost recovered. I've also prepared some health-preserving pills for you, and you'll definitely be fine in the future. It doesn't matter if your leg isn't treated, you have a wheelchair anyway! You won't have to walk yourself! Let's go back, I miss my parents!"
Upon hearing this, Bi Fang's maternal uncle burst out laughing. Seeing his father's gaze, he dared not laugh anymore and turned away, covering his mouth to stifle his laughter.
Old Master Bi looked at the young girl opposite him, who was playing with her fingers. He pointed at her and then chuckled himself, amused.
"You want to go back? Then stay for a while longer! Treating the leg is not important. The main thing is that Grandpa can't bear to part with you, so I'll keep you for a few more days! Bi Fang, have someone bring over those files from the study. I'll handle them here these few days. Tell everyone downstairs."
"Yes, Dad!"
Bi Fang's maternal uncle decided to go back himself. Fortunately, he was Old Master Bi's secretary, so he naturally knew which files were needed. It was also more reassuring for him to go himself.
"It would have been better if you had said this earlier!" Ji Xingmi muttered softly.
Old Master Bi heard her and burst into laughter, then cleared his throat and straightened his voice.
"Go stand by the wall by the door! You can rest when I say you can."
"Hmph! Stingy!"
"What did you say?"
"Yes Grandpa, no problem Grandpa, Grandpa rest well, I'll go stand outside now!"
After speaking, Ji Xingmi didn't wait for Old Master Bi to respond and went directly to the door, finding a wall to stand against. Isn't it like facing a wall in contemplation? I'm not afraid!
Old Master Bi watched his granddaughter's adorable and petulant demeanor, smiled, and continued to drink the water in his hand, sitting and resting while waiting for Bi Fang to bring his things.
