Chapter 1056: Acupuncture

Alright!

Now there was no need to wonder if Dr. Xiao Guo had medicine; Wubainian clutched his stomach, instantly scaring Qiao Qiao, who was carrying a basket.

"Did you get a stomachache from eating?!"

He was so nervous!

Qiao Qiao didn't understand the consequences of a fan getting a stomachache at his home, but he was genuinely concerned for everyone. He put the basket down at the edge of the field and flew over directly.

Cold sweat broke out on Wubainian's forehead, but honestly, it felt different from gastroenteritis. Seeing Qiao Qiao so anxious that his eyes were red, he comforted him with a pale, miserable face:

"It's okay…"

Several fans also became nervous. Holding the half-eaten rice balls in their hands, they didn't know whether to throw them away or keep eating, feeling incredibly conflicted.

It was Qiao Qiao who made a decisive decision: "I'll take you to see the doctor! Sister Xiao Guo just went back!"

Seeing Wubainian curled up in a semi-squat, he didn't say another word, pulled him up, lowered his body, and carried him directly onto his back:

"Don't be afraid, little friend! Sister Xiao Guo is very close!"

He was about to run, but Xin Jun quickly rushed out: "Qiao Qiao, drive your tricycle!"

After a chaotic scramble, by the time Qiao Qiao rode Daduor away, Zhang Yanping also rode a large date-red tricycle: "Stop eating, get on the car, I'll take you guys to see too!"

If they got gastroenteritis from eating, how would they explain this later?

Guo Dong had eaten until her mouth was oily at noon. Just as she lazily opened the clinic door, she heard the buzzing sound of a tricycle behind her.

And Qiao Qiao's shout: "Sister Xiao Guo, the little friend has a stomachache!"

Huh?

Guo Dong was confused for a moment: A little friend has a stomachache? Where did a little friend come from? It's not a holiday, there are no children in the village?

When she turned her head, she was met with a large, deathly pale face—

Whoa! What a big little friend, and he's wearing a Peppa Pig sticker!

Wubainian was in so much pain he couldn't even smile. As for the moxa sticks he had been thinking about, he naturally had no heart to ask anymore.

Guo Dong quickly told Qiao Qiao to put him on the hospital bed. After asking a few questions and touching his rock-hard stomach, she said helplessly:

"If there are no other symptoms, this is most likely just overeating… How can you grown men eat like puppies, not knowing when you're full?"

As she spoke, she took out a box of silver needles: "It's not a big problem. I'll give you acupuncture to speed up digestion and soothe your stomach. These disposable needles are two yuan a pack—Qiao Qiao, lift his shirt."

"Move the heater over to warm his stomach, don't let him catch a cold."

"You try to relax too. If your muscles are too tense, the needles won't go in easily… Forget it, don't struggle, just try to lie still."

Wubainian opened his eyes wide, lying honestly with his back against the bed, fearing the needles would be stuck in the wrong place.

Qiao Qiao quickly lifted his clothes. After Guo Dong wiped her hands clean, she pinched the long, thin silver needle and, without even needing to aim, instantly pierced it into his high belly!

"Hiss!"

Wubainian couldn't scream, and Qiao Qiao hadn't had time to scream yet, but the sound came from Zhang Yanping and several netizens watching from the side.

Everyone crowded over, clicking their tongues in wonder at the silver needles being inserted one after another.

Clearly, the needle looked soft and flimsy between Dr. Xiao Guo's fingers, but the insertion was so fast that before they were ready, half the needle was already gone!

After all the necessary acupuncture points around the stomach were arranged, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On the bed, Wubainian's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed without him realizing it.

Everyone quickly crowded up: "Brother Sleep, how is it? Does it still hurt?"

Wubainian reacted, frowning: "It's still a bit uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt anymore—so acupuncture really doesn't hurt!"

He excitedly tried to reach for his phone: "I have to take a video; this is my first time having acupuncture!"

Guo Dong watched him squirming there, reached out to move the needles, and said: "That's right, it doesn't hurt at all."

"Ouch!" Wubainian screamed instantly, his expression twisting, scaring everyone into asking nervously: "Is it starting to hurt where the needles are?"

"It won't."

Dr. Xiao Guo explained while adjusting the needles: "Acupuncture targets acupuncture points. If the points are found correctly, it won't hurt, not at all."

That's what she said, but Wubainian's appearance really didn't look like it didn't hurt at all…

Everyone was skeptical, and they saw Wubainian's face contorting, hissing and ouching:

"It doesn't hurt, but it's worse than hurting! Ouch, ouch, ouch! It's so sour! So sour, so sour, so sour! Ah, ah, ah, don't touch these needles, it's so bloated!"

That feeling was hard to describe—sour, bloated, and numb. A big man like Wubainian almost shed tears, not even caring that the heartless group had started filming videos.

Guo Dong sighed and said sincerely: "Most people don't find acupuncture this uncomfortable, but you really ate too much. If I don't speed up your digestion, you'll suffer when you take the car tonight."

With a belly full of silver needles, he couldn't be covered with a quilt. She adjusted the heater to make sure he didn't get cold, but when she turned back, she was startled again:

"You guys stop eating!"

She saw those few onlookers, while watching, had stuffed the half-eaten rice balls they hadn't wanted to throw away back into their mouths.

Dr. Xiao Guo was speechless: "Look at your stomachs, they're all sticking out, why are you still eating? And you guys—"

She still had some authority when she got fierce: "Young girls, the men are being stupid, but you shouldn't be! Stop eating, stop eating, if you ruin your stomachs, you'll have a hard time when you go back."

Hearing this, Qiao Qiao also widened his eyes, unable to imagine how there could be such unreasonable little friends!

This look made everyone blush, and they quickly hummed and defended: "Just… watching, and without realizing it, I stuffed it into my mouth…"

Fortunately, the rice balls weren't big, and what should have been eaten had already been eaten. Dr. Xiao Guo could only sigh helplessly:

"You're all so stuffed, even the big hawthorn pills won't help digestion… Come, there are two more beds here, you come one by one, I'll needle you one by one."

Everyone: …

Now it was Wubainian's turn to be happy.

That's what I'm saying, if we're going to lose face, let's lose it together; that's the only way to live up to this encounter!

He wasn't in pain anymore, so he watched everyone lying on the hospital beds with hesitation and lingering fear, while still thinking:

"Um... Guo Yi, do you still have any of those mugwort sticks you made in the autumn?"

He still thought about those mugwort sticks to this day: "They were so long, burned for a long time, and the mugwort scent was especially strong. Not only did I sleep soundly after waking up early, but the mosquitoes were all smoked to the ground..."

Who could understand? His screen name was 【I Really Want to Sleep for Another Five Hundred Years】, simply because he had truly suffered from insomnia for many years!
