Chapter 999 Acupuncture (August Monthly Ticket Plus 1)
Bai Shan made an appointment for Manbao and Yin Huo, and the four of them met at Jishidiang early the next morning.
Manager Zheng welcomed them very much. He took out his own good tea and made a pot of tea for them. Then he took the opportunity to feel Yin Huo's pulse while Manbao was seeing the doctor.
As soon as he touched the shopkeeper Zheng, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and then looked at Yin Huo.
Yin Huo had become accustomed to this situation. When he was very young, the doctor his father invited hid behind a screen and said that he would not live long and would be difficult to raise. His body was very weak and tonics were useless and might even damage his body. Therefore, the doctor did not dare to leave any prescription in the end.
Later, my father went to the palace and asked for the services of the imperial physician, Old Tan. He had to take a medicinal bath every two days for more than a year and was given acupuncture treatment before he could take the medicine.
But I didn't dare take too much of the medicine. I usually had to stop after taking it for a while, for fear that if I took too much, I would not be able to absorb the tonic and would instead develop dryness and heat, which would harm my body.
Until he was thirteen years old, the old doctor Tan gave him the last prescription of medicine, and he never came again. The next time he came was Doctor Tan. His prescription always changed every year, but it stopped changing two years ago. He felt very strange and asked his grandmother, but his grandmother just said that his health had improved and there was no need to change it.
He also felt that his health had improved, so he was eager to go to school. However, it was a cold winter, and he accidentally came home late after having dinner with his family in the first month of the lunar year. He was blown by the wind and fell ill.
In a daze, he heard his grandmother and father say, "At least leave a drop of blood behind. Once he gets through this, we can start looking for a wife. Use that medicine to regulate his kidney essence. In two or three years, find him a wife. There will always be a drop of blood left behind."
From then on, he knew that the medicine delivered to him every day was no longer for himself, but for his future son.
At first he was very unconvinced and secretly took the opportunity to go out to see doctors. However, they were worse than Doctor Tan and said that he would not live for more than two years.
Apart from Old Doctor Tan and Doctor Tan, Manbao was the first person to clearly tell him that he could live beyond the age of twenty, and Manbao gave a longer time than Doctor Tan and his son, so he chose to believe her.
Even if she couldn't cure him in the end and he didn't live to adulthood, he wouldn't regret it. At least the medicine he was drinking now was for himself, not for his missing son.
Manager Zheng withdrew his hand, and his expression returned to normal. He smiled and said to Yin Huo, "Young Master Yin has recovered well. I won't disturb you from seeing the doctor."
Yin Huo listened to the insincere consolation of the shopkeeper Zheng, smiled, nodded, and let him go.
Manbao didn't notice the hypocrisy in Zheng Dashi's words, thinking he was just praising her. So she smiled and escorted him to the door of the clinic. Then she turned around and looked at Yin Huo, "Let's go, let's go into the inner room for acupuncture."
Yin Huo was stunned for a moment and then asked, "How do I pierce it?"
"Are you talking about the location of the acupuncture points? I'll tell you while I'm doing the acupuncture."
"No," Yin Huo said with a blushing face, "I mean, should I take off my clothes?"
"Yes, how can we get the acupuncture without taking off clothes?" Manbao thought he was afraid and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang have also had acupuncture. You can ask them, acupuncture doesn't hurt at all."
Yin Huo looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang.
Both of them kept their heads fixed, refusing to nod.
Manbao was angry, "Do you dare to say that the needle hurts me?"
Bai Shan said: "Sometimes I can't pierce the acupuncture points."
Bai Jilang: "Then there will be a little bleeding."
"That's because you're still young. Many acupuncture points are different from those for adults, so they're a little hard to find. I figured them out eventually, but I only made the wrong three times."
Bai Jilang: "Once, I started bleeding."
Bai Shan said angrily, "I was stabbed three times in the wrong place!"
Yin Huo: ...
Yin Huo was no longer shy after being teased by them. He stood up and walked behind the curtain, took off his clothes, and revealed his thin back.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang followed in, and one of them exclaimed, "You're so white."
One said, "You're too thin. Only bones are visible. This must be because he can't absorb the food. Manbao, give him acupuncture to strengthen his spleen and stomach."
Manbao waved his hand at them in disdain, telling them to leave or just stay quietly by the side.
She took out the needle and said, "These needles have been sterilized. Don't worry, they are very clean. Come on, lie down."
Yin or lying down.
Manbao said: "In addition to the back, let's also prick the legs. You may feel sleepy in a while, so I can tell you how to position the needle..."
This set of acupuncture techniques was improved by Manbao and Teacher Mo on the original basis. No, it should be said that it has been improved a lot. It can be regarded as a set of acupuncture techniques that she created herself. She plans to use it every other day, so that she can maintain the effect and see the results.
As for where and when to get the injections from today onwards, Manbao was not worried at all. She thought that such things could be solved. She thought it wouldn't be that difficult. At worst, she could get the injections done in the carriage.
After Manbao finished the acupuncture and explanation, she checked the time in the system and began to move the needle. Then she asked Yin Huo, "How do you feel now?"
Bai Shan sat on the other bed and said, "He's asleep."
Manbao lowered his head to look at his face and found that he was really asleep, breathing very slowly.
There were still dark circles under his eyes, and it seemed the sleeping bag she had prepared for him wasn't very effective.
Manbao scratched his head and said, "It's a pity that we did this without telling his family. Otherwise, I could have taught their doctor a set of acupuncture techniques and given him acupuncture before bed. He would definitely sleep soundly."
"You can't always rely on acupuncture to help you sleep. It's better to fall asleep on your own." Bai Shan saw Manbao gently covering the parts of his body that were not pierced with needles, and asked, "How confident are you about his condition now?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Judging from his pulse just now, he took the medicine carefully. If he can follow my doctor's advice in the future, living to twenty-four or twenty-five should not be a problem. If he wants to be cured..."
Manbao held up two fingers and said, "That's all I'm sure of at the moment."
Bai Erlang sighed, propping up his chin and looking at the person on the bed opposite him. "How pitiful! When we eat with him, he can't eat this or that. His family won't even let him go out to play. Isn't this life too frustrating?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "You have the leisure to sympathize with others now. You should think about what to say when you go to the horse farm later so as not to appear so stupid."
Bai Erlang: "Zhang Jinghao came to me yesterday to admit his mistake, but you refused to let me forgive him. Originally, this matter could have been settled privately, and my reputation could have been preserved."
"No, if this gets out, you'll be called a bit stupid at best. Most people will say you simply trust your friends and don't have any ill intentions towards you. But it's different for Zhang Jinghao. If we let him get away with this, who knows how many more people he'll scam in the future?"
Manbao nodded, "That's right, and it will be good for you if this gets out. From now on, everyone will know that your senior brothers and sisters are not easy to mess with, so naturally no one will try to trick you again."
See you tomorrow
