Old Mr. Pei saw Huo Yao come in with an old box and asked her quizzically. "What's inside?"
Was it medicine?
Huo Yao placed the metal box on the table. She pressed the lock by the side, and opened it. She retrieved the silver needles wrapped in sheepskin and replied. "Silver needles."
She opened the sheepskin to reveal various silver needles of all lengths. There were at least over a hundred needles inside.
Old Mr. Pei could not help feeling shocked when he saw the numerous needles. He often performed acupuncture since his clan was famous for Chinese medicine, but they did not custom make so many needles.
After Old Mr. Pei recovered from his shock, he asked her. "Are you going to apply acupuncture on Young Master Min?"
Huo Yao nodded. She pondered about how best to apply acupuncture to relieve both neuralgia and his old ailment.
"But I applied acupuncture on Young Master Min already. It seemed to aggravate the pain," said Old Mr. Pei.
