"Birth asphyxia first damages the lungs, resulting in congenital lung qi deficiency, which affects the yin and yang energies, leading to a disorder of the five elements," Ye Xingchen said. "That's why the child has such severe asthma. We must have spent a lot of money on medical treatment over the years, and caused the child a lot of suffering, right?"
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on a natural birth, this wouldn't have happened." Tears streamed down the woman's face.
“Sometimes, we shouldn’t blindly believe in tradition. Modern medicine still has its merits,” Ye Xingchen said. “Natural delivery has its shortcomings, but it can save lives in critical moments. The survival rate of modern newborns is almost 100%, which is the merit of modern medicine.”
The woman nodded, but cried even harder. She suddenly realized that Ye Xingchen must be very skilled in medicine to have seen so much. She looked up and asked, "Are you a doctor? Do you have a way to cure my son's illness?"
"Of course I do, otherwise I wouldn't be showing up here." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Does your son have two red lines on both sides of his chest, which are especially noticeable after an asthma attack?"
"Yes, there is this problem, but the doctor couldn't explain it either." The woman nodded quickly, then asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with these two red lines?"
"These two red lines are a manifestation of insufficient lung qi and the rise of dampness," Ye Xingchen explained. "Normally, these two lines are just on both sides of the ribs and are not very obvious. When the disease occurs, there is bright red blood. Even if the condition is temporarily controlled, the red blood will take half a month to disappear. This is the root of the disease."
"Once the root cause of the disease is removed, the disease will naturally be cured."
The young woman had been watching Ye Xingchen closely. Hearing him speak so eloquently, she couldn't help but glance at him a few more times: "If you have a way, then hurry up and treat this person. Don't talk about this useless stuff."
"I'm sorry, but as a doctor, of course I have to explain these things to the patients." Ye Xingchen smiled and said to the woman, "If you trust me, I will perform acupuncture on the spot to make those two lines on the root of the disease disappear completely. Your son's disease will not recur, and he will be just like a normal person."
"Really? Then please help us." The woman was both surprised and delighted. She had already made plans to move her whole family to the south. If Ye Xingchen really had a way to cure her, that would be wonderful.
"Alright, young man, I'm going to give you a few acupuncture needles to cure your illness." Ye Xingchen said to the little boy, "It will be over soon, and it won't hurt."
"Thank you, uncle. I'm a man, I'm not afraid of pain. You can start now." The little boy nodded sensibly.
"So brave." Ye Xingchen patted his head, then had the woman take off his clothes.
Sure enough, there was a bright red line on each side of the little boy's ribs.
"Look, there really are two red lines."
"This young man's medical skills are amazing! He can even tell that?"
The onlookers began to discuss among themselves, and their gazes towards Ye Xingchen changed. They realized that there really was such a skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and one who was so young.
Ye Xingchen took out the gold needles and began to apply them.
The beautiful young woman kept glancing at Ye Xingchen's movements, seemingly trying to remember where and to what extent each needle would be inserted.
Ye Xingchen moved the needles extremely fast, inserting more than twenty needles in a swift and fluid motion, each needle placed precisely in its correct position. He used his Qi to control the needles, supporting the lung Qi and replenishing the deficient Yin and Yang Qi in the body.
As Ye Xingchen lowered the needle, the red lines on both sides of the little boy's ribs faded at a visible speed.
"Look, it's fading, it's really fading."
"It's definitely not as noticeable as before. Amazing! This doctor is truly a miracle worker." The people around pointed to the little boy's ribs with surprise.
To everyone's delight, the red lines on the sides of the little boy's ribs completely disappeared, and his pale, sallow face became rosy and radiant.
"Amazing, truly amazing, miracle doctor! My back is bad, can you cure it?"
"Me too, me too, I have kidney problems."
"I'll pay for the consultation fee, no matter how much you have to wait in line."
The onlookers could no longer sit still; they all stepped forward and asked Ye Xingchen to perform acupuncture treatment on them.
"Everyone, don't rush, sit in your seats. We're in mid-air, after all. I'll treat you one by one." Ye Xingchen suddenly felt inspired. Since it had been a long time since he had practiced medicine, he decided to conduct a free clinic on the plane today.
There were over a hundred people on the plane, many of whom were in a sub-healthy state. Ye Xingchen checked on them one by one, treating those who were sick and helping those who weren't. Two hours passed quickly.
By the time Ye Xingchen returned to his seat, the plane was already descending, and they would arrive at their destination, the black market, in another half hour.
After arriving at the black market, Ye Xingchen transferred his lighter to Jiyang without stopping along the way.
After fastening his seatbelt, Ye Xingchen felt the beautiful eyes of the young woman next door looking over.
He turned his head and his eyes met hers. She was slightly taken aback, and her aloof demeanor seemed a little embarrassed.
"Hello, my name is Liu Qingmei." The young woman composed herself and actually took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Ye Xingchen." Ye Xingchen replied, and he smiled and said, "Liu Qingmei, a good name. Her delicate eyebrows are always pleasing to the eye. The spring breeze does not understand her gentle smile that enters my dreams late."
"Thank you." Liu Qingmei smiled slightly. "You're from out of town, aren't you?"
“They’re from out of town, and their destination is Jiyang.” Ye Xingchen nodded.
“Jiyang? What a coincidence, I’m also from Jiyang.” Liu Qingmei glanced at Ye Xingchen with some surprise.
"That's quite a coincidence." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, then gave Liu Qingmei a meaningful look: "The thing you used to save people just now is a bit special."
“The Liu family’s unique methods are not surprising to you, as you are from out of town. If you were a local, you wouldn’t find it surprising,” Liu Qingmei said calmly.
"Oh, the Liu family from the Northeast?" Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback, then suddenly understood.
The five great immortal families of Northeast China are Liu, Bai, Huang, Hu, and Hui.
The Liu family, one of the famous Five Immortal Families of Northeast China, worships the immortal Liu Xian, which is a snake.
No wonder Ye Xingchen felt that the demonic aura on Liu Qingmei's black egg was somewhat familiar when she took it out. It turned out that he had seen this aura on Hua Li before.
Hua Li is a flower python transformed into human form. Although she is not the same as the legendary Willow Fairy, they are ultimately of the same kind.
The legend of the Five Great Immortals is widespread throughout Northeast China. These five immortals are spiritual animals that cultivate themselves into human form, or possess people or objects to perform various magical arts.
They are called household spirits because these five animals are very common, closely related to human life, and can help or harm people.
In the three provinces of Jiyang, many people worship these five immortals, all with a sense of awe, not seeking protection, but only hoping that they will not bring harm to themselves.
