Guoguo’s heart skipped a beat. The vicious look in her eyes was replaced with confusion. Then, she heard a crisp laugh.

“Alright, go to bed quickly. Don’t let your grandfather wait outside for too long.”

She licked her lips and could not believe that the imposing manner just now was actually emitted by this young girl in front of her.

However, this might also mean that Gu Man really had some real abilities.

She had yet to find a cure for her illness, so she had nothing to look forward to. She might as well try it.

At the thought of this, Guo Guo was not shy at all. She took off her shirt cleanly. However, when she saw her body, Gu Man’s eyelids twitched.

Under the wide top was a skinny body. One could even see the traces of her bones. Even the veins on it were extremely clear.

However, there was still a fleshy look on her face. She could not imagine such a shriveled body under her clothes.

Guo Guo was not satisfied with Gu Man’s expression. She nimbly lay on the bed and urged Gu Man.

“You better really have some skills. Otherwise, I will definitely not let you off.” It was another threat. Guo Guo always wrapped herself up like a hedgehog and faced others with the greatest malice, thinking that she would not be hurt again. However, this behavior looked especially childish to Gu Man.

She shook her head helplessly and unfolded the silver needles that she carried with her, but she did not apply the needles directly.

Gu Man raised her hand and placed it on Guo Guo’s wrist. Her fingertips were warm on her cold skin, and the warmth on her skin spread down her skin.

Although Guo Guo didn’t want to admit it, this little bit of warmth was indeed very comfortable. It even made her think about attachment.

She shook her head to clear it of her thoughts and buried her head in the clean pillow, emptying her mind so she wouldn’t think too much about it.

She obediently let Gu Man take her pulse.

Gu Man felt the throbbing on her wrist and frowned tightly. It had only been a few days. Since the Gu worm was already close to her heart, if she had come a few days later, it could be said that even if the gods came, they would not be able to save Guo Guo.

“Your body is so weak. Why are you still doing so much these few days?”

How could Gu Man not understand when she saw the fatigue under Guo Guo’s eyes?

When Guo Guo suddenly heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she felt a lump in her throat. She, who had never cried, felt like crying at this moment. She spoke in a muffled voice.

“It’s none of your business.”

Guo Guo no longer had any hope for her illness. She could clearly feel the strength in her body disappearing bit by bit. She knew that she did not have much time left, so she wanted to work hard and leave some savings for her grandfather.

After all, her grandfather had worked too hard for her illness.

Gu Man looked at the stubborn girl and did not say anything else. She placed her hand on the silver needle at the side and pulled out the longest and thickest one.

Actually, it wasn’t impossible for her to not use the silver needle, but the treatment effect wasn’t as good as this silver needle. Secondly, she was reminding Guo Guo not to ignore her body.

“The acupuncture process is more painful because your exhaustion has hurt your body, so you have to endure it next.”

Guo Guo’s face immediately revealed a disdainful expression. It wasn’t like she hadn’t undergone acupuncture before. Was this woman still trying to lie to her? However, Guo Guo quickly paid the price for her arrogance. As soon as the silver needle was inserted into her body, she could not help but cry out in pain. Hearing the sound in her mouth, she felt very humiliated. She bit her lower lip and did not want to make any more sounds. However, just inserting the needle wasn’t enough. It still had to be twisted.

For a moment, Guo Guo even felt that Gu Man was deliberately taking revenge for her rude words just now. She did not expect this woman to be so petty.

However, the pain of the silver needle piercing into her body was also very real. Just the first needle was enough to make her face turn pale, and cold sweat kept dripping down her face.

Moreover, because of her painful cry just now, the old man outside became worried and asked through the door.

“Guo Guo, what’s wrong? Is it very painful? Just bear with it for a while and you’ll be fine..”
