Seeing that Grandpa refused outright without even thinking, You Guang replied:

"It’s okay if you don’t teach me." After all, she could do it herself, "When will the needle be ready?"

"In about a month."

"Can’t it be sooner? A week."

"You’re not in a rush to learn, so why the hurry?" Xia Rong found his granddaughter’s impatience both amusing and exasperating.

"Then two weeks, is that possible?"

You Guang was indeed anxious.

Grandpa refusing to teach her acupuncture was something she had anticipated.

Learning acupuncture from him wasn’t her ultimate goal; obtaining the Golden Needle was.

She had seen Shi Wangyue’s medical records; the child was indeed very seriously injured.

If acupuncture isn’t used soon to aid in the medical treatment, it might indeed turn out as the Western medicine’s prognosis suggested, that the child would never walk again.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes timing in treatment.

If the timing is right, anything is possible.

If the timing is missed, then one has to face the consequences as they are.

There’s no talking about miracles.

Seeing the child’s injuries this time reminded You Guang uncontrollably of the image from her past life of a strong figure in a wheelchair. Though she was confident in the child’s future rehabilitation, it was hard not to worry. While waiting for the Golden Needle, You Guang stopped going to kindergarten and went to the hospital every day to accompany the child.

On the second day of her visit, the child was transferred to her Grandfather’s hospital, something she had asked Grandpa to discuss with Shi Manchuan.

It was very convenient for her to visit the hospital now, without needing an adult to accompany her; just having the family driver take her was fine, and her family felt assured about it.

After all, everyone at Renheng Hospital knew her, knew she was the niece of the hospital’s director.

Uncle Xia Xiqing often came by when he had time to see the two children, occasionally bringing them something to eat and chatting with them.

With Director Xia and Miss Ning’s emphasis on their son, Liu Susu gradually felt, beyond her initial shock, that she might be slightly redundant beside her son.

She spoke less and less, knowing that complaints couldn’t be aired in front of outsiders.

Sometimes, she would even stay away, giving the space to the two children.

Two weeks later.

Once You Guang got the Golden Needle, she started hiding away in her room every day, secretly practicing acupuncture on herself.

At the same time, she also did some arm-strengthening exercises each day. She couldn’t go to a gym for this, so she practiced in the garden at home or in her room.

She looked up exercise methods online.

By the way, six-year-old You Guang had her own laptop.

A six-year-old birthday gift from Ning Yi to his daughter.

She loved it deeply and found it extremely useful.

After receiving the Golden Needle, You Guang became busy and couldn’t spend as much time with Shi Wangyue.

Shi Wangyue visibly felt the loss, but behaving sensibly, he never asked her why she no longer visited the hospital as often. He would just often stare at the door of his hospital room, and when he saw her coming, he’d show delight. When she wasn’t there, he’d become quiet again, expressionless and silent, lying on the hospital bed like an unfeeling doll.

One time when You Guang entered the room, she saw his solitary demeanor. Shocked, after consulting with the child, she began teaching him to chant scriptures.

Chanting can calm the heart, prevent scattered thoughts, reduce delusions, and eliminate fear. For the seemingly quiet but inwardly turmoil-filled child, it was the best thing to do.

She then gave him a small electronic counter and assigned him daily tasks.

Having something to do, the child was no longer so withdrawn.

You Guang could finally take a breath and continue practicing acupuncture.

The result of practicing acupuncture was that as the number of times she pierced her body increased, the repeated overlaps of these tiny wounds started to form bruises, which looked quite frightening.

As summer got hotter, she wore long sleeves and pants every day. Fortunately, she bathed herself, so her family didn’t notice her injuries.

But one day, when she went to visit Shi Wangyue at the hospital, the sharp-eyed child noticed.

"Sister, what’s wrong with your body?"

"Ah, what’s wrong where?" At the bedside, sleeves rolled up, focused on copying the Earth Store Sutra, You Guang replied blankly.

"On your arms, they’re all bruised." The child lay back on a pillow, receiving an IV. Some of his bandages had been removed, some wounds had scabbed over, but the deeper ones were still wrapped.

He could only freely move his head.

"Oh, you mean these." Looking at the exposed bruises due to her rolled-up sleeves, You Guang responded nonchalantly, "I’ve been learning acupuncture recently, these are all needle marks."

"Sister is learning acupuncture?" Since this week, Grandfather Xia had started acupuncture treatment on Shi Wangyue, so he knew what acupuncture was.

"Yes."

"Do you have to stick the needles in yourself to learn acupuncture?" The child showed confusion and tension on his face, "Doesn’t it hurt, Sister?"

His legs had no feeling, so even during acupuncture, he felt nothing.

But Grandfather Xia had said that after a period of treatment, he would start to feel pain later on.

Such long needles must surely be very painful.

"It’s okay, bearable."

Her little, fragile body experienced even more pain from the needles than in her past life, but what could You Guang do?

Even with tears, she had to place the needles correctly.

After copying the last section of the Earth Store Sutra, another iteration was completed.

This was her 100th time copying the Sutra since the child was injured.

"Little Wangyue, when Sister finishes copying this Sutra 1,000 times, Sister’s acupuncture practice should be about done. By then, will you let me give you acupuncture?"

"Sure."

Six-year-old Wangyue completely accepted little You Guang without questioning her motives.

"You trust Sister so much, aren’t you afraid she’ll mess up your legs?" You Guang felt like teasing the child.

"Not afraid, Sister is good to me." 1314
