Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 513 Showing Weakness

Shenting, Yintang and Baihui are the main acupoints, Lieque, Kongzui, Quze, Tianfu and Laogong are the auxiliary acupoints. Xu Weiwei inserted a total of eight needles.

Although Mrs. Wolfhard could not see, her other senses were more acute. She could feel the very fine pricking sensation, which at first would be a little painful, but soon turned into numbness and itchiness, making people want to reach out and scratch it.

The process was quick, taking less than two minutes. When Finn put his hand down, Mrs. Wolfhard was no longer nervous. She looked at the silver needle halfway into her skin and said in amazement, "It looks scary, but it doesn't hurt!"

"Is it because of the needle? If you look closely, it seems to be much thinner than the needles you usually see."

Xu smiled slightly and was about to explain when she suddenly thought of something and said to Finn tentatively, "Didn't you read all those books? Come and explain to Auntie?"

Finn saw through her "bad intentions" at a glance and couldn't help but find it funny.

"In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a concept called 'acupoints', which are distributed in various parts of the human body. Stimulating these points can treat corresponding diseases."

"It's like the human body is a complex integrated circuit, and the acupuncture points are the switches that control and regulate each electronic component in series and parallel on the circuit. Is this correct, Teacher Weier?"

Finn spoke slowly, especially the last few words, like the lingering sound of guitar strings after a song ended.

Xu rubbed his ears slightly, and without looking into Finn's eyes, he said to Mrs. Wolfhard, "Yes, that's it."

"The organs in our body are like small components. After being used for a long time, they will have problems such as poor contact and circuit burnout. 'Acupuncture' is like a conductive silver paste pen that repairs solder joints and connects circuits." She continued according to Finn's hypothesis.

Mrs. Wolfhard suddenly realized: "Oh - I see."

"Why are these places pierced? What are they for?"

……

Xu Weiwei patiently explained the science to Mrs. Wolfhard, turning the silver needles from time to time, and when the time was up, she pulled them all out.

"Don't get wet for an hour, let alone take a shower. Don't do strenuous exercise or drink alcohol. It's almost time now, you can go upstairs and rest. You might get sleepy early today."

Mrs. Wolfhard yawned, tears welling up in her eyes. She said in surprise, "You're right! I just felt like I couldn't open my eyelids. This method really works!"

Xu smiled slightly and said, "Go upstairs and go to sleep. Don't worry about me."

"Okay, Auntie, I won't be polite with you. I don't even know when I last felt sleepy... Just sit for a while and have fun. Treat this place like your own home."

She held Xu Weiwei's hand and gave her some instructions, and finally patted her son's arm, signaling him to entertain her. She then trotted upstairs, fearing that she would miss this sleepy moment.

After watching Mrs. Wolfhard leave, Xu Weiwei squatted down and began to collect the used silver needles. This kind of garbage was a bit dangerous. If thrown away carelessly, it might puncture the bag and injure the cleaner, so she would bend the needles and wrap them in paper.

Finn saw this and stopped her, "I'll do it."

Following Xu Weiwei's example, he processed the remaining items one by one. Finn asked, "Don't you need to quench and recycle them?"

Xu Weiwei raised his eyebrows, "How did you know that? Did you read it in a book as well?"

"Kane sent me a photo of it at old lady Capet's house."

"Oh~!" Xu Weiwei remembered that it should be the first time she gave acupuncture to her grandmother.

"I had just returned from the planet Goodall at the time. The set of needles was a gift from the priest. There was only one set. Later, my uncle produced many more according to the standard, so that they can be used as disposable consumables."

Although the material is silver, not much is used and the cost of recycling is already greater than the cost of the material itself, so there is no need for it.

"Ah."

Seeing that Finn was so calm, Xu Weiwei couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious about what disease your aunt has? Why did she ask you to stay away?"

"Can you tell me?" Finn asked, looking up with one arm on his knee.

Xu Weiwei swallowed and avoided looking at him.

This perspective... is really terrible...

She sat on the sofa, and Finn didn't get up immediately after handling the silver needles. He just squatted in front of her, completely putting himself in a low position. His attitude was so good... Was he deliberately showing weakness?

Damn it... She's so into this...

"You, ahem! Why don't you stand up and talk? Aren't you tired of squatting?"

A smile appeared in Finn's eyes. He stood up, took a step back, and sat on the sofa opposite.

After the distance was shortened, the uncomfortable feeling was immediately relieved. Xu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, cleared her throat, and talked about business: "Auntie's insomnia is caused by both mental and psychological pressure. It is not difficult to cure, but we are still short of a few medicinal herbs."

As she spoke, she pulled out Finn's dialog box from her computer and sent the recipe over, along with three pictures.

"Chicken yolk is the yolk of raw eggs, and donkey-hide gelatin is the solid animal glue that is concentrated after boiling donkey skin. I will prepare these two things. But I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with the Scutellaria baicalensis and white peony root." Xu Weiwei said a little embarrassedly.

"In fact, there are some in the batch of plants you sent, but the quantity is too small, and they are all used as medicine with their roots. Even if you pull them all out and slice them, it won't be enough for Auntie to drink twice."

"So my suggestion is that it would be best to find the previous mercenary and see if he can remember where he dug it, and then go back to that area to collect more."

Finn listened to Xu Weiwei quietly, then said softly, "I understand. It's no trouble, you don't need to feel sorry."

"It was originally my commission, and I haven't paid your registration fee yet. How can I ask you to pay for it out of your own pocket? The gift I gave you is different from this."

Xu Weiwei smiled with relief.

"By the way, I have thought seriously about what you said during the day, but I encountered many problems and consulted a professional lawyer--"

Xu Weiwei pulled out a long list of notes she had made, intending to talk to Finn about the issues of equity division and book publishing.

In order to watch more conveniently, Finn took a step and moved to Xu Weiwei's side, sitting next to her and carefully watching her plan, and occasionally offering some constructive suggestions.

Xu Weiwei would immediately modify the records simultaneously, and sometimes they would have in-depth discussions and exchange views on a certain issue.

Unconsciously, time passed quietly and the two bodies got closer and closer.

The maid who was peeking from the kitchen excitedly clenched her fists and gossiped with shining eyes, "I think I saw the future mistress of this house."

His companion nodded in deep agreement: "Well, God, things are going to change."
