Chapter 6: You Wouldn’t Have Fallen for an Ugly Woman, Would You?

Even after confirming the absence of a pulse, Su Luoluo remained calm. Her expression was serene.

“Miss… Miss, what’s wrong? Is…?”

The middle-aged man, however, was flustered, his voice choked with emotion.

He had just checked; the old man had stopped breathing, not even a pulse. Could it be… could it be… that he was…

“It’s alright, it’s alright, don’t be nervous.”

Su Luoluo smiled reassuringly and waved her hand.

Her master had taught her to be attentive to wealthy clients; after all, the substantial reward hadn’t been received yet.

The middle-aged man was stunned. No breathing, no pulse, and she called it alright!

Su Luoluo pressed a few points on the old man’s body. When she checked his pulse again, it had returned.

Just as she had suspected, the old man had only fallen into a state of apparent death.

Tsk… but this pulse…

Su Luoluo looked at the old man. He had a stern face, but his eyes held a hint of kindness. He was quite pleasing to the eye.

His body was severely depleted. He must have relied on foreign miracle drugs to stay alive until now, practically at death’s door.

If not for her today, he would have likely passed away.

Since the old man was quite pleasing to the eye, and saving a life was a great merit, she decided to help.

She absolutely refused to admit that she was motivated by the substantial reward.

Su Luoluo took out a leather pouch from her backpack and a silver needle. Her expression suddenly turned serious.

Seeing Su Luoluo like this, the middle-aged man also became nervous.

Her needlework was swift and precise. The order and skill of her needle placement showed her proficiency. The silver needles, placed on the acupuncture points, vibrated slightly, with the force perfectly controlled, each needle penetrating layer by layer.

The onlookers only saw the old man’s ashen face visibly improve as Su Luoluo inserted the needles, unaware of her extraordinary skill.

An old man with a long beard in the crowd, upon seeing Su Luoluo’s needle technique, widened his eyes. He murmured, “Could it be the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles?”

“This girl actually knows the legendary Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.”

Legend has it that the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, each needle piercing a ghost point, one needle treats the evil, one needle treats the person, can treat evil spirits and cure illnesses, a thousand-year-old secret technique that rivals the King of Hell.

Legend says that as long as the patient has a breath, this needle technique can bring the dying back to life.

However, this technique is extremely dangerous and unpredictable.

At best, the patient might be paralyzed; at worst, the patient could die instantly.

Moreover, it is extremely draining for the practitioner.

This girl is really daring!

However, the fact that she used the secret technique, the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, shows that the old man was in extreme danger. Meeting her was a stroke of luck.

Otherwise, he would have truly gone to meet his maker.

Seeing that the girl only used twelve needles, the old man was even more certain that it was the long-lost Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles. He was so excited, as if the person saved was himself.

Although it’s called the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, those who understand it know that it usually only involves twelve needles. The technique emphasizes not pushing things to the extreme, leaving a needle, leaving a lifeline.

After Su Luoluo inserted the twelve needles, the old man, who had been lying motionless on the ground, opened his eyes.

“Don’t move, wait a while.”

Su Luoluo was not surprised, merely glancing at him and giving a brief instruction.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed to see the old man awake.

In a moment, Su Luoluo removed the silver needles and returned them to the leather pouch.

The old man was able to stand up from the ground.

“Heaven! She even revived a dead man! This woman’s medical skills are incredible!”

“This woman is a living Hua Tuo!”

Exclamations arose from the crowd.

The driver, accompanied by three handsome men, had originally come seeking help. But seeing the lifeless old man now standing, he immediately left the three men, limping and pushing through the crowd to approach excitedly.

“Old… Sir… Old… Master, you’re alright.”

The driver’s words trailed off, realizing he was surrounded by people, and quickly changed his address.

Su Luoluo raised an eyebrow. It seemed the old man was no ordinary person.

But it didn’t matter.

Everyone has secrets.

“I’m fine.”

The old man in a Zhongshan suit, with an extraordinary presence, waved his hand lightly.

“This young lady saved you.”

The middle-aged man supported the old man, hurriedly introducing Su Luoluo. His gaze towards Su Luoluo was filled with gratitude.

The small town clinic had poor medical facilities. The old man’s condition was special; if he had been sent there, he might have died.

Seeing his younger son so emotional, the old man could anticipate how dangerous his situation had been. Knowing his own body well, he looked at Su Luoluo with added seriousness. She was his savior.

The old man spoke, “May I ask your name, young lady? I would like to thank you properly in a few days.”

“My name is Su Luoluo. Meet me at the Piaoxiang Restaurant in town in five days. My home is inconvenient.”

Su Luoluo thought of the substantial reward, and grinned.

She was infamous in the village. If they went to her house, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause. It was better to meet in town.

“Good, I will be there on time.”

The old man agreed.

Su Luoluo approached the middle-aged man, placed her hand on his shoulder, grasped his arm, and with a gentle twist, a “click” sound indicated his dislocated arm was back in place.

The middle-aged man looked at Su Luoluo in astonishment.

Su Luoluo, considering that she shouldn’t be stingy with wealthy clients, took a handful of herbs from her backpack and placed them in the man’s hand.

The middle-aged man looked blankly at the green herbs.

Su Luoluo said, “Non-toxic. Chew it up and apply it to the wound; it will stop the bleeding.”

“Oh, oh.”

The middle-aged man nodded slowly.

Su Luoluo then turned to the old man in the Zhongshan suit, “It’s best to stop taking those miracle drugs. Your body is already depleted, and excessive use of miracle drugs will damage your health. Even a god wouldn’t be able to save you then.”

She knew this!

The middle-aged man looked at Su Luoluo in shock. At this moment, he truly admired her.

He immediately said, “Thank you for your advice, Comrade Su.”

The old man’s gaze towards Su Luoluo was extremely serious. From his son’s shocked expression, he realized that he hadn’t revealed this information to Su Luoluo earlier.

It was clear that this young lady was capable.

The middle-aged man, without delay, stuffed the herbs into his mouth, chewed them, and applied them to his head wound.

To be safe, the three men still went to the town clinic for a check-up.

The onlookers gradually dispersed.

Su Luoluo had other things to do and left as well.

Among the crowd, a tall, handsome man with hawk-like eyes continued to stare at Su Luoluo’s departing figure.

“Old Fu, what are you staring at that woman for? She’s so ugly… Ah, you wouldn’t… You’ve always been averse to women, could you have some strange fetish, like… a love for ugliness?”

The man beside him, with a roguish and handsome appearance, placed a hand on Fu Yichen’s shoulder, smiling mischievously and teasing him.

He had never seen such an ugly woman. Her hair was like dry grass, her face not only had a large birthmark but was also covered with red rashes and blisters—incredibly ugly.

If there was an ugliness contest, that woman would definitely win first place.

“Old Lu, don’t talk about a woman like that.”

Fu Yichen shook off Lu Xunye’s arm, frowning disapprovingly.

Lu Xunye shrugged, “Even if I don’t say it, she’s an ugly monster. Anyone with eyes can see that.”

“But Old Fu, you’re defending that ugly woman so much, you wouldn’t have fallen for her, would you?”

A sharp gaze shot towards Lu Xunye.

The two didn’t notice Fu Bojing beside them, whose expression was very strange, his shock impossible to conceal.

“Tsk… Bojing, look, Old Fu is acting strange. It looks like you’ll have a sister-in-law soon.”

Lu Xunye continued to tease, unrestrained.

Fu Yichen kicked Lu Xunye.

Lu Xunye twisted his butt, “Hey, you missed!”

Fu Yichen glanced at Lu Xunye’s feet, his eyebrows raised.

Lu Xunye was too busy showing off and didn’t watch his step. He stepped on a stone, stumbled, and bumped into a tree, hitting his head.

Su Luoluo was stopped by an old man with white hair, wearing a short jacket and a long beard.

The old man stroked his beard and chuckled, “Young friend, I see you have extraordinary bones and innate talent. You are a rare medical prodigy. Why don’t you become my apprentice? Your future will be limitless.”

Ugh—

That familiar line!

What a scammer.

Su Luoluo quickly covered her pockets, as if afraid her money would fly away.
