Chapter 368: Chapter 326: Lu Family Recognizes Relatives 3_1

If only she could be invited to mentor Tao Tao...

As soon as the idea came to her, Xia Ningxing dismissed it, "Come on, a small, not yet opened company like mine could never invite such a high-profile mentor."

"Right, big brother, how old is she, and she knows medical techniques?" Others also began to question in succession.

"Uncle, even if you had to find someone, find someone reliable. Isn’t she the Xia Ningxing who was slandered as a murderer not long ago? The newspapers clearly state that she’s from Capital Film University, majoring in acting. How could someone who studies acting know medical techniques!" Someone from the Lu Family had already recognized Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

I’m sorry, it’s my fiery personality that provoked this mistake.

Facing everyone’s doubts and skepticism, Xia Ningxing didn’t utter a word.

After all, it wasn’t her who had been crying and begging to come help treat the illness; she didn’t need to rush forward to explain anything.

Dean Lu knew all too well the temperament of the people from the Traditional Medicine Family and was now afraid of offending Xia Ningxing. He suddenly knitted his thick eyebrows and scolded everyone, "Shut up, all of you!"

After Sir Lu fell ill, Dean Lu took over the position of Family Head temporarily. Once he spoke, everyone fell silent and dared not say another word.

The Lu Family had strict rules and had not been divided, so the words of the Family Head were still very authoritative.

Dean Lu continued, "Miss Xia indeed graduated from the film school; that is true. But she also understands medical techniques. Not long ago, a pregnant woman in our hospital..."

Dean Lu briefly recounted the story of Tao Tao to everyone.

After listening, the eyes of the people from the Lu Family finally showed a glimmer of hope.

She actually knows the Detoxification Acupuncture Method from the Hidden World Medical Family!

Sir Lu has hope now!

Especially Auntie Lu, excited and with tears in her eyes, "Young lady, I’m really sorry for just now; it was my misunderstanding. Please don’t take it to heart."

"Not at all," Xia Ningxing shook her head magnanimously.

To tell the truth, Xia Ningxing truly didn’t mind because anyone in her place would probably have trouble holding back their doubt.

It looks like I need to find time to get a license from the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine; I can’t always be practicing without proper credentials.

"Miss, please save my father!" Aunt Lu’s voice was choked with emotion, and she continued, "He’s suffering immensely from the poison, living in agony every day."

"Let me first assess the situation," Xia Ningxing did not agree outright but chose to observe, smell, ask questions, and feel the pulse first.

Sir Lu’s hair was white as snow, his face covered in wrinkles, and his features were sharp like a keen blade. Even though now his eyes were surrounded by a virus, his presence was still frighteningly strong.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him; then she frowned slightly.

He looks somewhat like Lu...

And Mr. Lu as well...

But saving a life was pressing; this thought flickered in Xia Ningxing’s mind and then disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, Xia Ningxing released Sir Lu’s hand and turned her face toward Dean Lu to ask, "When Sir Lu’s poison acts up, do his eyes and lips turn black and purple, blood flows from his seven orifices twice daily, and occasionally he experiences suffocation and unconscious trembling... Do these symptoms occur?"

"Yes, yes, all of them!" Dean Lu saw that she described the symptoms exactly and almost jumped with excitement. He asked hastily, "Miss Xia, what poison exactly has my father been afflicted with?"

"Poison Widow," Xia Ningxing spoke slowly and with certainty, these three words.

The handwritten medical canon had recorded an identical set of symptoms, so Xia Ningxing easily made the diagnosis.

"What is a Poison Widow? Is it a poisonous widow?" A child from the Lu Family couldn’t help but blurt out the question.

Xia Ningxing looked up at the ceiling, speechless for a moment, before explaining, "...It’s not a poisonous widow, but a kind of spider called the Poison Widow."

"Spider?" Hearing this, Aunt Lu couldn’t help but frown again. "When has my father ever been bitten by a poisonous spider? I don’t remember that."

The others were also confused, including Dean Lu.

But Xia Ningxing was confident she had not made a mistake, so she offered them a hint, "May I ask if Sir Lu has ever been to a tropical rainforest or primal forest?"

Such poisonous spiders could only be found in those places.

"It doesn’t seem like it..." Aunt Lu pondered for a moment before shaking her head involuntarily.

However, Dean Lu interrupted her, as if something had just dawned on him, "No, that’s not right, big sister, have you forgotten? Our father took a mission twenty-five years ago, to a forest near the border."

"But it’s been so many years since then; surely the poison from twenty-five years ago couldn’t still be in his body?" Aunt Lu retorted.

"You’re right," Xia Ningxing nodded, then educated the group, "This Poison Widow spider is different from other venomous animals and plants. Its venom can remain latent in a human’s body for several years, or even decades. A person can live normally during the incubation period, but once it strikes, they only have a few short months to live."

"And they must endure immense pain every day."

Dean Lu quickly followed up, "Then, Miss Xia, are you confident in treating it?"

"Yes," Xia Ningxing nodded.

As long as the Detoxification Acupuncture Method from the medical canon is used, followed by daily consumption of herbal medicine, the poison can be detoxified.

Hearing her affirmative words, the faces of those present revealed expressions of surprise and hope.

There was hope!

Sir Lu could be saved!

Especially Dean Lu, whose eyes lit up like lamps, preparing to bow deeply to Xia Ningxing in gratitude, "Miss Xia, your enormous favor will never be forgotten by Lu!"

"There’s no need to be so formal, consider it a return of the favor you did for me before," Xia Ningxing said hastily as she helped him up, not accepting his grand gesture.

"Regardless, I will always remember Miss Xia’s life-saving grace," Dean Lu said solemnly, repeating his sentiment, then with eyes full of anticipation, he asked, "So Miss Xia, when are you available to detoxify my father?"

Xia Ningxing replied, "I can start today. Afterwards, I’ll need to administer acupuncture daily for a month, and then I’ll prescribe a formula for you. It’s crucial to take the medicine three times a day as instructed by the prescription."

Silver needles can indeed draw out the poison, but since the poison has been lurking in his body for too long, a combination of needles and medicine is necessary.

Dean Lu promptly assured, "We will certainly follow Miss Xia’s instructions."

"Alright, then I’ll administer the first session of needles to Sir Lu now. Dean Lu, would you please ask everyone to step outside for a moment?" Xia Ningxing said.

Sir Lu might have various dangerous reactions during the acupuncture, and if they panicked, it could affect her process.

Dean Lu understood her concerns and immediately turned to the others, "Everyone, follow me out. Let’s give Miss Xia some space to focus on detoxifying Sir Lu."

"Alright! We’re leaving right now!"

Everyone promptly filed out in succession.

However, one person just stood there, still as a statue, her brow furrowed so tightly it seemed she could trap flies in it.
