The old lady once again started to display anxious behavior; she wrung her hands indecisively and said, "I don't, I don't know, I don't know what you're talking about."
And her behavior only made Shao He and the others more suspicious.
The group of them stayed put for the time being as a torrential downpour soon began outside.
Shao He stayed in the room to administer acupuncture to the man, while the rest followed the old woman outside.
Shao He's movements were swift, and after administering the acupuncture, the man on the boat slowly came to.
Seeing the people before him, he retreated in shock and let out a terrified scream.
"Don't come any closer. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
He huddled in a panic at the foot of the bed, trembling as if he were facing a flood or a ferocious beast.
Hearing her son speak like this, the old lady hurriedly rushed to the bedside to comfort him.
