South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Yuan Mu took out a cloth bag from the wooden box and spread it out, revealing a row of silver needles of varying lengths.

Yuan Mu stood up and looked at Wang Sufang.

"Sister-in-law, now I need you to take off your coat and trousers. It's better to change into a vest and shorts. I'm sure I'll offend someone during the acupuncture. Please forgive me."

"It's okay. It has come to this point. Don't worry." Wang Sufang nodded.

"Yes, Lao Yuan, it's okay, we don't mind." Ma Kui also spoke.

"Okay, sister-in-law, please change your clothes and I'll step aside." Yuan Mu nodded and walked to the living room.

A few minutes later, Wang Sufang changed her clothes and lay on the bed on her side, feeling a little awkward. After all, she was wearing such revealing clothes, and in front of other men.

"I've offended my sister-in-law." Yuan Mu took a deep breath.

"It's okay." Wang Sufang also took a deep breath, nodded, and then closed her eyes.

Yuan Mu pulled out a silver needle. At this moment he felt that his whole body had changed, as if some kind of power in his body was absorbed by the silver needle and infused into the silver needle.

Yuan Mu gently pressed the center of Wang Sufang's head with his left hand, fumbled around and found the slightly raised position. The silver needle in his right hand pierced down like lightning and slowly sank. This is the Baihui point of the human body.

Ma Kui in the living room saw such a long silver needle piercing into his head and his expression changed accordingly, but when he found that his wife was not unwell, he felt a little relieved.

Yuan Mu took out another silver needle, pressed his left hand on the back of Wang Sufang's neck, and pierced the needle at the fifth vertebrae, slowly going deeper. This acupuncture point is called Dazhui.

Just the insertion of two silver needles made Yuan Mu's body a little weak, as if something was drawn away.

Yuan Mu cheered up and pulled out another silver needle. He moved his left hand down to the depression below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra and inserted the silver needle in his right hand again. This acupuncture point is called Mingmen Point.

Yuan Mu came to the other side of Wang Sufang with the cloth bag, pulled out the silver needle, touched five inches down from the belly button with his left hand, found the right position, pulled out the silver needle and inserted it. This is the Guanyuan acupoint.

Just as Yuan Mu was giving acupuncture, Ma Yan tiptoed down from upstairs, walked to Ma Kui and spoke in a low voice.

"Dad, how's it going?"

"Why did you come down? Where is Ma Jian?" Ma Kui frowned and whispered.

"He's been coaxed to sleep. I'm so worried. If you can't stay here, I'll come over to check on him." Ma Yan's face was full of worry.

"Don't worry, it looks like nothing's wrong at the moment. Don't disturb your Uncle Yuan." Ma Kui warned.

"Don't worry, hiss, with such a long needle inserted into her, is my mother really okay?" Ma Yan was about to speak when she saw Yuan Mu giving her acupuncture. She felt pain when the silver needle pricked her.

"It's okay. Your mother isn't crying out in pain yet, and judging from her expression, she doesn't seem to be in pain either. Just wait a little longer," Ma Kui comforted.

On the other side, Yuan Mu's head was covered in sweat and his lips were a little pale, which was a sign of consuming too much energy. Now Yuan Mu knew that acupuncture was not consuming his physical strength, but his mental strength.

But he couldn't stop. Acupuncture requires a smooth and seamless process. If he gave up now, all his previous efforts would be wasted. There were a total of nine needles in this set, and he had only given four. There were still five to go.

He gritted his teeth, took out the silver needle from the cloth bag again, and touched Wang Sufang's left calf with his left hand. This acupuncture point is located four horizontal fingers below the outer knee and on the edge of the tibia. He found the right position and inserted the needle. This acupuncture point is called Zusanli.

The next position is on the anterior midline of the abdomen, four inches above the navel. Feel the exact position with your left hand and quickly insert the needle with your right hand.

At this time, Wang Sufang let out a light snort. Of course, this was normal. It seemed that she had noticed the concerned looks of Ma Kui and Ma Yan. Yuan Mu waved at them, signaling them not to worry.

The next needle was placed on the Tanzhong point at the fourth intercostal space on the anterior midline.

But Yuan Mu was a little troubled about the placement of the next needle, so he looked at Wang Sufang and spoke.

"Sister-in-law, the location of the next injection is a little sensitive. I hope you don't mind."

Wang Sufang slowly opened her eyes and smiled.

"Xiao Mu, it's okay, just go ahead and give me the injection."

Yuan Mu nodded, then looked at Ma Kui and Ma Yan in the living room, only to see Ma Kui nodded to him. Yuan Mu no longer hesitated and pressed his left hand on the outer upper part of Wang Sufang's chest wall, which is three fingers away from the outside of the head. This acupuncture point is called Zhongfu Point. Yuan Mu took a deep breath, quickly inserted the needle and then withdrew his left hand.

Finally the injection was completed. On the one hand, it consumed his mental energy, but the key point was that he had never done such a thing as touching his wife in front of other men.

This last shot is very critical and also somewhat dangerous, as the location is the temple.

After pulling out the silver needle and standing up, Yuan Mu pressed his left hand on Wang Sufang's temple, and the silver needle in his right hand fell directly down. Wang Sufang frowned, as if in some pain.

"Sister-in-law, please don't move. This is the last needle and it's taking effect. Hold on, I can remove the needle for you in half an hour." Yuan Mu hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

After hearing what Yuan Mu said, Wang Sufang blinked to indicate that she understood.

Yuan Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. At this moment, Yuan Mu's condition was extremely bad. He looked pale as if he had suffered a serious illness.

He walked straight out of the bedroom, scaring Ma Kui and Ma Yan.

"Old Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Yeah, Uncle Yuan, why are you like this?"

Just now, Yuan Mu's profile was always shown to them and they couldn't see it clearly. Now they could see it clearly, so they asked with concern.

"It's okay. I've spent too much energy. I just need to take a rest." Yuan Mu waved his hand and sat on the sofa.

"Hurry, Yan Zi, pour me a glass of water." Ma Kui said hurriedly.

"Oh, okay." Ma Yan nodded and went to pour water.

And Ma Kui came to Yuan Mu.

"Old Yuan, how is your sister-in-law doing?"

"I can't guarantee that your sister-in-law will get better, but she will definitely get better after my acupuncture this time. Take your sister-in-law to get checked out in a few days to see how she is." Yuan Mu took the water bottle handed to him by Ma Yan.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, both Ma Yan and Ma Kui became excited.

"Of course, but you must also pay attention to rest and nutrition. Don't do heavy work, and especially don't get anxious or angry. You must remember these." Yuan Mu reminded.

"Okay, we got it. I will do all the housework from now on." Ma Kui quickly promised.

"Come on, you're not going to work anymore. I'll take care of the housework." Ma Yan teased.

"You kid." Ma Kui smiled and shook his head.

Originally, he and Ma Yan were in a bad mood, but after getting Yuan Mu's assurance, they gradually put their minds at ease. This was also out of trust in Yuan Mu.
