"Your injury is easy to treat. You need acupuncture treatment, which lasts for 7 days per course. You need at least three courses, which means it will take 21 days. There will be a 3-day interval between each course, which means you will need to be treated for 1 month."
"Do I need acupuncture every day?" Gu Lingxiao thought about his work schedule.
"The most important thing is that you can't do strenuous exercise during this period." Old Master Bai sat down. "The doctor should have told you that if you delay, your arm will become numb."
Gu Lingxiao nodded, "He did say that, which is why he wants me to have surgery to repair the nerves."
Grandpa Bai was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know much about Western medicine, but I do know about traditional Chinese medicine. There are hundreds of acupoints on the human body, which are intricately interconnected!"
"When used properly, acupuncture can turn the mundane into the miraculous!"
Gu Lingxiao thought that if he had surgery to repair the damage, he would need at least half a month to recover, and then he would need to rest for one or two months.
In comparison, acupuncture seems more reliable, at least it won't interfere with my daily work.
So she said to her grandfather, "I'll try one course of acupuncture first. If it works, I'll continue with acupuncture."
"How much I need to pay, I'll calculate it however I want. Also, because of my work, I can only come for acupuncture at night; I still have to work during the day."
“I won’t charge you. I stopped treating patients two years ago; I only sell herbal medicine and offer consultations. If a patient’s condition is serious, I’ll let them find a doctor themselves. As for the time issue you mentioned, let’s complete one course of treatment first, and then we’ll talk about it.”
"I can't let you treat me if I don't take money."
"You're a soldier serving the country, so why can't I contribute to the country? Don't look down on this old man!"
"Grandpa, that's not what I meant. It's just that I feel uneasy if I don't accept the money."
"Just consider this as me paying tribute to you soldiers. Don't feel too burdened. It's fate that we met." He patted his shoulder. "You're a strong and good-natured kid. I like you very much! From now on, we'll be friends despite our age difference."
"Grandpa, if that's how you put it, then I won't insist anymore."
Gu Lingxiao was extremely grateful to Grandpa Bai, and he was proud to be a soldier.
Lu Zhixia washed her face with cool water outside and felt that her face wasn't so hot. When she came out, she touched her ears and found that they were hot.
She really couldn't stand her own blushing problem; it wasn't like she was a young woman getting married and seeing a man without clothes for the first time.
Carry the water into the house, then put it in a pot to boil.
Grandpa ate two steamed buns at noon, so there are 18 left, which is just enough for dinner.
I specifically asked Sister Lan for a few cucumbers to bring over and make a cold dish.
When she entered the room, she saw her grandfather carefully inserting needles, and she couldn't help but go over to watch.
It took quite a bit of effort to administer acupuncture to Cao Guifen back then.
Because the old woman was afraid of her, she deliberately used needles to harm her.
At first, she experimented with her own hands, and all sorts of problems would occur if the acupoints were not needled correctly.
Her fingers were unresponsive, trembling, and numb; once, she even pricked an itchy acupoint, causing her to itch for a long time.
Watching his grandfather insert the needle, Gu Lingxiao's face and body were covered in sweat.
Grandpa's face was also sweaty, so she quickly went to get a towel to wipe their sweat.
Just like Grandpa said, doctors don't distinguish between men and women when it comes to patients.
When the towel was wiped off his neck, he noticed that the man's ears were red, but not on his face, mainly because the man's face was a bit dark.
She blushed and smiled slightly.
Grandpa Bai placed the needle down. "Alright, girl, it's your turn to insert the needles. Didn't I discuss a set of acupuncture techniques with you last time? You also shared your thoughts."
"Why don't we try it now and see how it goes?"
Lu Zhixia quickly realized what was happening and said, "Grandpa, that was just a preliminary idea, it's not very mature yet." She looked at Gu Lingxiao's profile, "What if I hurt him?"
"What are you afraid of? With me here, I won't let anything go wrong."
Old Master Bai stroked his beard, trying to bring the two of them closer together.
That's why I came up with this terrible idea: as long as there's intimate contact, things will naturally fall into place between men and women.
Why bother with roundabout ways? Without lust, how can there be the impulse to love?
"Comrade Lu, you should give it a try!" Gu Lingxiao said with certainty.
"What if something goes wrong? You two are too reckless."
Lu Zhixia was still a little unsure about her technique.
"I believe you!" Gu Lingxiao said sincerely again.
The man's deep voice was like a clear spring flowing through her heart.
