Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: Food Poisoning

One needle, two needles...

Jiang Xue placed eighteen needles in Liu’s body before stopping. Then she raised her hand and gently flicked the tails of several needles.

With her movements, the silver needles emitted a buzzing sound. Watching Jiang Xue’s actions and hearing the sound from the needles, everyone present was stunned.

This is the highest realm in traditional Chinese acupuncture, yet such a young girl like Jiang Xue could do it. Especially those who had just criticized Jiang Xue, their faces turned red with embarrassment.

Thinking of what they just said, they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

Ah Li and Mr. Huang took note of everyone’s expressions, their eyes flickering. They had arrived just when Jiang Xue was being criticized. However, neither of them spoke up, planning to see how Jiang Xue would respond.

Moreover, Liu’s condition appeared dire. If not handled well, Jiang Xue could forget about establishing herself in the local Chinese community.

Little did they expect, she possessed medical skills. Even Ah Li hadn’t anticipated this, let alone Mr. Huang.

The buzzing from the silver needles ceased after a while, and Jiang Xue’s gaze remained locked on Liu. Only when his complexion gradually recovered and he woke up did she allow herself to relax.

As Liu opened his eyes, he saw a crowd of people around him, but himself lying on the ground, and asked in bewilderment, "What’s happened to me?"

"Liu, you’re awake. That’s great!" said a close friend of Liu’s, delighted to see him come to.

He crouched down, ready to help Liu get up. At this moment, Liu also wanted to sit up. Jiang Xue spoke again, "Mr. Liu, please wait a moment. Let me remove the silver needles from your body first."

Hearing this, Liu lowered his head to look at himself. Seeing the dozen or so silver needles on him, he was stunned.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Jiang Xue quickly removed the needles from him and then said, "It’s okay now!"

Liu moved his limbs and, noticing no abnormalities, stood up with the help of his friend. He then looked seriously at Jiang Xue and said, "Jiang Xue, it was you who saved me, right? Thank you, if it weren’t for you, I doubt this old frame of mine would have gotten out of here."

"No need to be polite, Mr. Liu. Frankly, I played a part in today’s incident. I just checked you over; you suffered from food poisoning. Do you know if you ate anything else before you came here?"

"Food poisoning?" Upon hearing Jiang Xue’s words, everyone’s gaze involuntarily fell on the dishes on the table.

If Liu had food poisoning, what about them? They ate the same things as Liu.

Jiang Xue took in the expressions of the crowd and calmly said, "Don’t worry, everyone. Mr. Liu probably consumed some nourishing food beforehand, which led to this situation."

Upon hearing this, everyone relaxed and began to ask Liu what he ate before coming. When he told them he ate persimmons prior, they immediately understood.

Indeed, there was a seafood dish on this table that conflicted with the persimmons, no wonder Liu got food poisoning.

Seeing that Liu’s issue was resolved, Ah Li invited everyone to return to their seats. Jiang Xue stayed by Liu’s side, reminding him which dishes on the table he shouldn’t eat.
