The flames were burning under the tub, the steam was rising, the water in the tub was so hot it was smoking, and as soon as the man got in, his originally pale body was scalded red.
Because Master Qin had asked everyone to leave, only Master Qin, his eldest son, the housekeeper, and two servants were left in the courtyard. Looking at his son whose whole body was red from the scalding in the bucket, Master Qin felt nervous.
If it were an ordinary wooden barrel, it would be destroyed as soon as the flames burned underneath, but this large bathtub was not made of ordinary wood, and the fire underneath was not burning openly, but was half-burned at a distance.
Fengjiu watched from the side until a long time later, then she stepped on a chair and walked over to the barrel, and helped the second young master who was sitting in the barrel to use acupuncture to remove the evil energy in his body.
After the acupuncture, the medicinal bath lasted for about two hours. When Fengjiu asked someone to carry the person in the bucket back to the room, the head of the Qin family hurriedly asked the servants to carry the person out and send him back to the room, as if he was afraid that his son would be scalded.
Feng Jiu went into the room and checked again. She took out another pill and stuffed it into his mouth before asking, "Master Qin, do you have any ancient jade in your house?"
"Ancient jade?" The head of the Qin family was stunned. After thinking for a while, he said, "My ancestors did leave behind some jade pendants and the like, but I don't know if they can be considered ancient jade." He paused and said, "Well! I'll get it for the ghost doctor to take a look." He thought the ghost doctor wanted it, and thought, after all, she was treating his son. If she wanted ancient jade, he could find some for her.
Therefore, after seeing that his son's blood and energy seemed to be better than before, he hurried back to get those jade pendants and other things.
Only the eldest son and Fengjiu were left in the room. The eldest son looked at Fengjiu and asked, "Ghost Doctor, if you do this, will my second brother not be invaded by evil spirits in the future?"
Hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled slightly: "No, this is just to help him expel the evil spirit in his body. As for whether he can avoid being harmed by the evil spirit in the future, it depends on whether your father can bring a useful ancient jade."
"Why?" He was a little surprised. He thought the ancient jade was what she wanted, but now after hearing this, it seemed that was not the case.
"Some ancient jades can ward off evil spirits and keep them away, thus protecting the body." Feng Jiu explained as she picked up her walking stick, limped to the table, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea.
Not long after, the head of the Qin family came back with a tray on which were placed a number of jade pendants and other things. He placed it in front of Feng Jiu and said, "Ghost Doctor, please take a look. Is there anything you like among these?"
Feng Jiu was startled when she heard this. She knew he had misunderstood, so she smiled and said, "Master Qin, this ancient jade is not what I want. It is for the second young master to wear." After she briefly explained it to him, she smiled at his surprised and apologetic expression and said, "It's just that although these jades of yours are a bit old, they are still not good enough."
“Real good jade keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. There is also warm jade that radiates warmth all year round, and ancient jade that is extremely spiritual. The ones you have are not suitable and are useless.” She shook her head and pushed the tray aside.
Hearing this, the head of the Qin family couldn't help but get anxious: "What should we do? The ones the ghost doctor mentioned are extremely hard to find. I'm afraid I won't be able to find such ancient jade at this moment. And even if there is, it's been collected by someone and not easily shown to others."
