Chapter Eighteen: Middle Evil

  Back home, Song Jian, Xu Si and Xia Lin had dinner, then Xia Lin went to the living room to watch TV, while Xu Si cleaned up the table.

  Song Jian saw a hint of pain in Xu Si's expression and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Xu Si's face turned slightly red, and she shook her head lightly. "It's nothing, just a little stomachache."

  Seeing Xu Si's cheeks slightly flushed, Song Jian already understood that it was her period.

  Women during menstruation, facial color and pulse will have subtle displays, but this display is very weak, unless it is an experienced doctor, can see.

  Song Jian did not ask again, after simply washing up, he went back to his room to surf the internet and supplement his knowledge.

  Song Jian found that he knew too much, in the Song Dynasty, he was a child prodigy who could memorize everything at a glance, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to grasp the essence of traditional Chinese medicine at such a young age and become the chief imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital.

  And this predecessor of mine was also a versatile and erudite person, proficient in dance, piano, biology, chemistry, and almost everything else. No wonder, although born into a wealthy family, Song Jian was not spoiled at all, but instead spent every day studying various subjects, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the University of California for his master's degree at the age of twenty-something.

  Now Song Jian has merged the memories of two lifetimes, and the knowledge in his mind is even more complicated and unmatched. He can only use the internet to sort out the memories and knowledge in his mind.

  After browsing the web, Song Jianguan shut down the computer, rubbed his temples and prepared for bed.

  There came a sound of footsteps going upstairs from outside, apparently Xia Lin had just finished watching TV and was preparing to go back to her room to sleep.

  "It's definitely no class tomorrow," Song Jian knew, "otherwise he wouldn't be sleeping so late."

  Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a loud "Ah!" coming from upstairs.

  Song Jian opened his eyes and immediately flipped over and got out of bed. At this time, a hurried footsteps sounded outside, rushing downstairs.

  Song Jian had just opened the door when he saw Xia Lin panting and standing at his doorstep, her lovely little face full of panic.

  At this moment, Xia Lin had already changed into her pajamas, a cute suspender mini skirt with a pair of plump white legs underneath. The hem of the pajamas was very short, so Song Jian's eyes could basically scan the entire state of these white legs.

  At this moment, Xia Lin couldn't care about her own exposed spring light, she anxiously pulled Song Jian's arm and said: "Uncle, it's not good, my cousin...my cousin..."

  Song Jian said in a low voice: "Don't panic, what's wrong with Xu Si?"

  "My cousin has gone mad!" Xia Lin almost cried out.

  Song Jian slightly furrowed his brow, and Xia Lin had already pulled him along, heading towards the second floor.

  "She was fine when we were eating, how did she suddenly go crazy?" Xia Lin said hoarsely, "I just went to her room for a box of tissues, didn't expect that after I pushed the door open and entered, she kept shaking her head at me nonstop, and shouting 'ghost, ghost'..."

  Song Jian listened to Xia Lin's description and his heart moved, he had already guessed a few points. He walked up the stairs in big strides, pushed open Xu Si's bedroom door and went in.

  In the bedroom, Xu Si lay on the bed, constantly grabbing her hair, her black nightgown was disheveled and pressed down on her body, revealing large areas of plump skin.

  Song Jian didn't have time to appreciate this rare beautiful scenery, quickly walked to the bedside and grabbed Xu Si's wrist.

  Xu Si looked at Song Jian with a terrified expression, "Don't catch me, evil spirit, don't catch me, I didn't do anything bad, I didn't lose my conscience."

  Song Jian felt the pulse and already understood the cause of the illness. He lovingly stroked Xu Si's cheek and said, "Don't worry, I won't catch you."

  Xia Lin stood nervously behind Song Jian and said, "Uncle, let's...let's call 120."

  Song Jian waved his hand and said to Xia Lin: "You stay here, I'll go downstairs to get some things."

  After finishing speaking, Song Jian took a step out of the room door and jumped to the living room in three steps. He returned to his bedroom and picked up a package of disposable acupuncture needles.

  These disposable needles were bought by Song Jian on the first day he traveled to this era, he was afraid of his addiction relapse, so he bought these as a precaution, but unexpectedly he didn't use them, instead Xu Si used them.

  Quickly returned to Xu Si's bedroom, Song Jian opened the plastic bag and took out a 1.5-inch long steel needle, saying: "You help press your cousin."

  Xia Lin looked at the shiny steel needle in Song Jian's hand and nervously opened her mouth: "Uncle, what are you going to do? Are you going to stab my cousin? Don't kill her!"

  Song Jian gave Xia Lin a stern glance and said in a low voice: "Shut up, just hold onto your cousin."

  Xia Lin plucked up her courage and pressed down on Xu Si's body.

  Song Jian held a needle in his right hand and with his left hand, he lifted up Xu Si's pajamas, revealing her flat lower abdomen. On either side of the abdomen were the Qi Men acupoints.

  With a "hiss", Song Jian's steel needle shot towards the Qi Men hole and then rapidly twisted.

  "Hmm!"

  Xu Si let out a strange cry and then exhaled slowly, but in just a few seconds, his eyes had cleared up.

  Xia Lin looked at Song Jian in surprise, then glanced at Xu Si on the bed and asked in a low voice: "Sister, how are you feeling now?"

  Xu Si nodded slightly towards Xia Lin, then her face turned red as she said: "Song Jian, I...I'm fine now, quickly turn around."

  Xia Lin only then noticed that earlier when Song Jian was administering acupuncture, he had lifted up Xu Si's pajamas, and now Xu Si's entire body was almost completely exposed to Song Jian's gaze.

  "It's all right, it's all right. Uncle, please turn around quickly." Xia Lin saw that Xu Si was okay and her hanging heart also put down, she immediately crossed the river and dismantled the bridge, "Sister is a great beauty, actually being looked at by you, hum! You're such a bad person."

  Song Jian smiled wryly, pulled out the needle, turned around and said: "How are you feeling now?"

  Xu Si's face was red as she pulled her pajamas back on and said, "My head is a bit sore, but I'm already awake. Did I scare you guys just now?"

  Xia Lin said, "Yes, older cousin, you just now looked like you were possessed or something. If not for Uncle using the needle... Hmm? Uncle? How did you cure older cousin? Is this method acupuncture or exorcism from Taoist teachings?"

  Xu Si rubbed his temples and said: "Song Jian, turn around, what happened just now?"

  Song Jian put away the needle, saying: "Nothing serious. In the traditional Chinese medicine book 'Shang Han Lun', there is a sentence that says: 'Women with cold and fever, menstruation just arrived, clear during the day, but talk nonsense at night, like seeing ghosts, this is heat entering the blood chamber.' You are in this condition."

  Xia Lin pouted and said, "Uncle, just speak plainly, what's with the classical language?"

  Song Jian picked up the steel needle and said, "This means that when a woman suffers from wind-cold or wind-heat and catches a cold, she coincidentally comes on her period. During the day, this woman is very clear-headed, but in the evening, she talks nonsense as if she has seen a ghost. This disease is called 'Heat Entering the Blood Chamber'. The treatment only requires needling the Period Gate point to release the evil Qi."

  Xia Lin and Xu Si were stunned, then Xia Lin pouted and said: "Nonsense, when my aunt came before, I also had a cold, but I didn't scare people like my cousin."

  Song Jiandao said, "Your sister's condition is just a special case. I think it's mainly because of the recent work stress that has been pent up in her heart, and now with the added cold and menstrual period, that's why she's having this crazy and frantic symptom. Just now I've used acupuncture to dispel some of the evil qi and unblock the stagnant liver qi, so don't worry about it. Just take a break tomorrow and rest at home."

  Xu sighed and said, "Okay, for now I don't want to ask about company matters either."

  Song Jian nodded slightly.

  Xu Si said: "Song Jian, tomorrow you send my briefcase to the company and hand it over to my grandfather, let him take full charge."

  Song Jian agreed and casually picked up Xu Si's briefcase by the bedside, then walked out of the bedroom.

  Song Jian!

  As they walked to the door, Xu Si suddenly stopped Song Jian.

  Song Jian turned his head and looked at Xu Si with a puzzled expression.

  "Have you studied traditional Chinese medicine?" Xu Si asked in puzzlement.

  Song Jian smiled and said, "Yes, I learned it in my early years."

  At this time, Xia Lin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, immediately spoke up: "Uncle not only studied traditional Chinese medicine, but also studied martial arts. Oh, and he also studied calculus, and can make that weird old man who taught us advanced math look silly."

  Xu Si looked at Song Jian with an odd expression.

  Song Jian waved his hand and said, "I just studied abroad before."

  Having said that, he turned around and went downstairs.

  Xia Lin stayed in the room and chatted with Xu Si about what happened at Soochow University today.

  Back in his bedroom, Song Jian opened the briefcase and found some schedules and financial reports inside. His eyes were fixed on a thin white plan book with the words "Si Yuan Tian Ran Ke Ji Co., Ltd.'s 'One Wipe White' Project Summary" written on it.
