As he spoke, Uncle Tie Zhu began feeding Talisman Water to Auntie Liu, whose mental and physical condition was extremely poor.
Before she had even finished a bowl, Auntie Liu began dry-heaving repeatedly.
Tie Zhuzi was so frightened that he hurriedly turned and asked,
"Wh-what's happening?"
"Uncle Tie Zhu, don't worry. This is a normal reaction!"
"A normal reaction?"

After speaking, Auntie Liu took a deep breath, looking very comfortable.
Seeing this, Uncle Tie Zhu became extremely excited.
"That's wonderful,
