Chapter 89 Acupuncture

Seeing Lin Qian's gloomy face, Old Master Zhang couldn't hold on any longer. He asked with a trembling face and a pale face, "Doctor Xiao Lin, how is my Xiao Liu? Can he be saved?"

Lin Qian only then saw the shaky appearance of Mr. Zhang and immediately said, "He can be saved, but I need to think about what to do. Two people, come and do as I say. Lift Xiaoliu to the bed first."

Two people immediately stood up and carried Xiaoliu onto the bed according to Lin Qian's instructions.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Xu Jingcheng walked up to Lin Qian and asked.

Xiaoliu's condition is very serious at first glance. Not to mention the fractures, his internal injuries are probably very serious. With internal injuries plus external injuries, he can die if he is not careful.

"Go and give him acupuncture to stop the bleeding. First, stop his internal injuries from getting worse, and then fix his bones."

"Master! If he only had internal injuries and broken ribs, then the method you mentioned would be feasible. However, his spine is also injured, and that cannot be reconnected easily." Xu Jingcheng said in a deep voice, his face full of worry.

Lin Qian said, "I know, so I plan to use the Xuanyuan acupuncture method, which consists of sixteen needles."

After Lin Qian finished speaking, Xu Jingcheng was even more surprised. He couldn't help but raise his voice: "Master! Your current limit is twelve needles. You are trying sixteen needles now. What if you fail?"

No one knew the consequences of failure better than Lin Qian. She said, "You don't have to tell him. I'll tell his family and let them make the decision."

After saying that, Lin Qian waved to Xiaoliu's parents. The couple looked at each other and walked over quietly without disturbing Mr. Zhang.

"Xiaoliu's condition is very bad now. I can save his life, but I'm not sure if he'll ever be able to stand up again because his spinal injury is very serious."

As soon as Lin Qian said this, Xiao Liu's mother burst into tears. Xiao Liu's father was not in a much better condition. He supported his wife and his body was shaking.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Qian quickly said: "Now I have a risky way, which is to help him reconnect his broken spine, but that method has risks, and I can't guarantee that I can cure him." Lin Qian told the two of them about Xiaoliu's current situation.

If he gets treatment, Xiaoliu has a chance to stand up. If he doesn't get treatment, he will have to lie down for the rest of his life.

But then again, if the Xuanyuan acupuncture method succeeds, Xiaoliu will be cured. If it fails, he will still have to lie in bed for the rest of his life.

After a long while, the couple finally managed to cheer up. Xiaoliu's father said to Lin Qian, "Doctor Xiaolin, please save Xiaoliu. Whether you succeed or not, we thank you."

Looking at the couple who were trying hard to hold back their tears, Lin Qian took a deep breath and said, "I will definitely work hard."

After saying that, Lin Qian glanced at Xu Jingcheng. Xu Jingcheng looked at Lin Qian and finally nodded. The two of them went into the room together and closed the door.

"Master, come on." Xu Jingcheng said to Lin Qian while holding up the oil lamp.

Lin Qian took a deep breath, then took out a needle and burned it, first treating Xiaoliu's internal injuries, and then connecting his ribs and calf bones.

After doing all this, Lin Qian said to Lin Shuo who was standing aside, "Help me turn his body to the side. Hold him firmly and don't let him shake."

Lin Shuo did as he was told.

This time, Lin Qian stood holding the needle for a long time before inserting the needle.

After one needle was inserted into the acupoint, Lin Qian pulled out the second needle and inserted it into another acupoint with quick and steady hands.

It was not until the eighth needle that Lin Qian hesitated. She was unfamiliar with this secret acupoint.

Holding the needle, Lin Qian didn't know how to start for a moment.

Xu Jingcheng glanced at Lin Qian, pursed his lips and said nothing. He also signaled to Lin Shuo, asking him not to make any noise to disturb Lin Qian.

Staring at the silver needle in her hand, Lin Qian's mind was in a mess. She really wanted to give up. As soon as this thought appeared, the faces of Xiaoliu's parents appeared in front of her. Their eyes said that they believed her.

Then, it was Meng Yi's face. He smiled at Lin Qian, as if to tell her not to be timid or afraid.

Looking at Meng Yi in front of her, Lin Qian suddenly came to her senses. If she couldn't even get past this level, how could she avenge her master and become the first in the medical competition?

Lin Qian closed her eyes and cleared her mind of distracting thoughts.

Suddenly, she felt the silver needle on her fingertip seemed to be slightly hot. She opened her eyes and felt the silver needle seemed to be shaking.

She had a very special feeling in her heart, and as if possessed by a spirit, she followed the silver needle's own intention and inserted it into the place where it should go.

That’s right, at this moment, Lin Qian seemed to hear the thoughts of the silver needles, and they told Lin Qian where they wanted to go.

When Lin Qian came to her senses, she found that all sixteen silver needles had been inserted into Xiaoliu's body, without any error, very perfectly.

"Master! You succeeded!" Xu Jingcheng had been watching from the side. Seeing Lin Qian succeed, he couldn't help but say happily.

Lin Qian smiled: "Yes! It worked."

After saying that, she looked at her hand. The feeling just now seemed to still be there. Could this be the legendary acupuncture with qi?

After Xu Jingcheng finished being happy, he saw Lin Qian still staring at his hand in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "Master? What's wrong with you? The acupuncture is complete, and now you can set the bone."

Lin Qian hummed, then touched Xiaoliu's fractured vertebra. The purpose of this set of sixteen Xuanyuan acupuncture needles was to create a gap between the two bones, allowing Lin Qian to reconnect the fractured vertebra without damaging the rest of the vertebrae.

After two crisp crackling sounds, Xiaoliu, who was in a deep coma, couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the two broken vertebrae were finally reset.

"Okay." Lin Qian clapped her hands and said.

Lin Shuo then slowly loosened his hands and let Xiaoliu lie flat on the bed.

Lin Qian turned to Xu Jingcheng and said, "Go make a bowl of peach-red four-herb soup. Shuo Shuo, go find two wooden boards so I can fix Xiaoliu's legs."

The two of them went there immediately, and Lin Qian then went out to tell Xiaoliu's parents the good news.

"Xiaoliu is fine now, but we can't move him now. Let him lie in bed and rest well. But he can't lie in bed all the time. I will teach you massage techniques later. Please massage Xiaoliu more when you are free." Lin Qian told Xiaoliu's parents the precautions one by one.

Xiao Liu's mother nodded repeatedly, and Xiao Liu's father also looked grateful: "Dr. Xiao Lin, thank you so much. We will never forget your kindness."

As they spoke, the two were about to kneel down before Lin Qian, but Lin Qian quickly held them back and said, "No need to thank me, this is my duty as a doctor. Okay, you can go in and see Xiao Liu first. When the medicine is ready, feed it to him. He should have a good sleep and wake up tomorrow."

Xiaoliu's parents immediately went into the house to see Xiaoliu.
