"I have already cleaned Grandpa Chun’s body and changed his clothes. You can go in and take care of him now. Once the medicine is boiled, I will bring it to him personally." Zhu Yanyi continued, "I still need to check on the other injured people."
Wang Dali nodded directly. "Little Junior Sister, go do your work. I will look after Master here."
"Okay." Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. She walked toward the temporary ward area where others were resting. She was not without sadness; she had already cried. Now, she had to pull herself together. Old Master Yao was still waiting for her to find her. She had no time to grieve here. The only thing she could do now was to save more people, thereby finding relevant clues.
In another temporary ward, five people lay in bed, their bodies covered in blood and flesh. It was obvious they had entered a state of shock. When Qu Zhong and the others arrived, they were terrified by the sight. Fortunately, they had come with a large group. Three senior brothers each took one patient first, providing emergency aid to temporarily pull their lifelines back, before proceeding with further treatment.
When Zhu Yanyi entered, the emergency rescue for the fifth person had just succeeded.
"How are they?" Zhu Yanyi asked upon entering.
Qu Zhong adjusted his rolled-up sleeves. "Fortunately, Third Brother, the king of emergency aid, was here. Otherwise, we really couldn't have saved these five."
Yu Qingyun said, "Fortunately, we brought plenty of medicine. Many of them were given by Little Junior Sister. That is why we could temporarily save them. Next, we need to apply acupuncture. I only know how to use silver needles. I cannot control gold needles well yet, so I dare not use them casually."
Qu Zhong added from the side, "I have learned gold needle techniques, but I have only grasped the basics of the 'Withered Wood Revives in Spring Thirteen Needles'."
"I can try," Dong Bocao said. "I learned gold needle techniques earlier than Second and Third Brothers. After Eldest Brother, I am the second one who can wield gold needles, although my speed is a bit slow." Dong Bocao said seriously.
Zhu Yanyi remained silent for a moment. "No need. Three Senior Brothers, I will now teach you how to flexibly use the Withered Wood Thirteen Needles." She then looked at the five patients and said to Qu Zhong and the others, "You first help arrange the five patients side by side."
Although Qu Zhong did not know what Zhu Yanyi intended to do, she understood her character. She would not do such a thing without a solid reason. So, she called Yu Qingyun and Dong Bocao to carefully place the five patients together. Yan Aohan also helped upon seeing this. Soon, the five beds were arranged side by side.
"The 'Withered Wood Revives in Spring Thirteen Needles' is not only an excellent acupuncture technique for treating individuals. It has another feature: it can treat groups." Zhu Yanyi spoke slowly. She continued, "It is like the legendary immortals saving people. They do not save one by one; they save a group at once. The highest realm of mastering the Withered Wood Thirteen Needles is to achieve this effect."
As she spoke, Zhu Yanyi slowly opened her gold needle case. "The Withered Wood Thirteen Needles: each needle is actually an acupuncture formation. When used on a single person, that person serves as the foundation to set up a healing formation. However, when used on many people, multiple individuals are treated as a single fixed unit. Just like now, these five people form one unit. Therefore, the Withered Wood Thirteen Needles can be displayed collectively on them."
After finishing her explanation, Zhu Yanyi flicked her gold needles out one by one, as casually as if she were tossing small objects.
