Fu Wan never expected that the golden needles she gave away would be so impressive. They have saved several lives, so the tens of thousands she spent back then were well worth it!
Old Sun wasn't stupid. Judging from Fu Wan's smug look, he knew that the golden needles were given to him by this young girl.
He didn't ask any more questions, but instead turned to continue questioning Bai Qianzhou.
"Young man, I'm asking you, who is your master?"
“My master? You may not know him, his name is Li Zhong.”
Bai Qianzhou said frankly, "There's no point in hiding it. There are plenty of people in the world who study medicine. Since Elder Sun wants to know, I might as well tell him."
"So it was him! No wonder you're quite good at acupuncture!"
"Does Mr. Sun know my master?"
Now it was Bai Qianzhou's turn to be surprised. He hadn't expected that Li Zhong's reputation would spread to Hong Kong.
Sun Deming smiled, a hint of nostalgia on his face.
“Back then, we were considered to be fellow disciples. Forty years ago, I came to Hong Kong to develop my career, while he stayed on the mainland. We haven’t been in touch for so many years. I never expected that he would still be alive!”
Ha, not only is he alive, but he's also found a talented apprentice.
"Young man, is your acupuncture training something you started as a virgin?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan, who was drinking tea, almost spat out her water. Bai Qianzhou sighed and said truthfully, "That's not true. I studied acupuncture with Master Li for exactly three months."
Three months?!
Sun Deming exclaimed in surprise.
He had just realized that Bai Qianzhou's acupuncture technique didn't seem to be something he had practiced since childhood, but he hadn't expected that this person had only studied for three months!
In three months, he was able to memorize the acupoints, control the force of the needles, and most importantly, he dared to come up and perform acupuncture to save people.
That's quite bold!
Sun Deming was at a loss for words. He had already examined him and didn't know whether the kid was lucky or had a good foundation, but the acupuncture had indeed saved the old man's life!
Thinking of this, Sun Deming felt an urge to vomit blood.
Unexpectedly, after forty years of trials and tribulations, his senior brother not only survived but also found such a clever disciple!
Damn it, he's been searching in the port city for so long and hasn't found a single decent prospect!
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
Sun Deming was displeased when he suddenly caught sight of Fu Wan, who was watching the commotion from the side.
"Hey, young lady, since this young man has already become my senior brother's apprentice, why don't you learn acupuncture from me?"
"Ah, me?"
Fu Wan was truly taken aback. She was happily eating melon and drinking tea when the old man turned his attention to her.
"Sir, do I look like someone who studies medicine?"
Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh. If He Guozhong and Sun Deming hadn't been there, she would have been doubled over with laughter.
Asking her to use acupuncture to save lives? Tsk tsk, she'd be more like Rong Momo!
Sun Deming glanced at Fu Wan several times, but Fu Wan showed no fear and let him scrutinize her.
Bai Qianzhou frowned and stood silently in front of Fu Wan.
"Sir, my girlfriend isn't a medical student, so please don't try anything with her."
Sun Deming sighed, "What a pity, what a pity! I thought this girl was very clever, why didn't she study medicine!"
Fu Wan chuckled. She inexplicably recalled a saying she had seen in her past life: "Advising someone to study medicine will bring down a calamity."
If she said that out loud, Sun Deming would probably chase after her and beat her up. After all, in the eyes of these big shots, let alone persuading people to study medicine, it's always been others who beg to learn medicine from them.
"Sir, don't be disappointed. Although I'm not a medical professional, I shine in other fields. If you ever have the chance to visit the mainland, I'll definitely show you where I excel!"
These words made Sun Deming chuckle. "You're quite an interesting girl. Now that you mention it, I'm actually a little curious."
He hasn't been back to the mainland for decades.
Originally, I came to Hong Kong to escape the war and make a living, but before I knew it, half a lifetime had passed.
Perhaps he really should consider going back to take a look.
Sun Deming was in a daze for half a minute when He Guozhong and He Guohua also came out of the ward.
The two men, who bore a striking resemblance, wore the same smiles, suggesting that Mr. He's condition was likely still quite good.
"Young man, can I take a look at your golden needles?"
As soon as He Guozhong and his companion entered the reception room, they heard Sun Deming speak to Bai Qianzhou.
To be honest, He Guozhong and He Guohua were also quite curious about Bai Qianzhou's golden needles. When they were giving Mr. He acupuncture earlier, they were too nervous to observe what the golden needles looked like.
"Bai Qianzhou, why don't you take a look at them?"
Fu Wan noticed Bai Qianzhou's displeasure and found it somewhat amusing.
She could understand why Bai Qianzhou didn't want to take them out, because the gold needles had just been sterilized and stored away, and from a doctor's perspective, taking them out would inevitably lead to them getting contaminated with bacteria.
But Sun Deming had some connection with Li Zhong, and He Guozhong and He Guohua were their new friends, so showing them the connection wasn't really necessary.
Fu Wan could see Sun Deming's fondness for acupuncture. Sun Deming currently had no apprentices, and even if Bai Qianzhou couldn't become his apprentice, it would still be helpful if Sun Deming could give Bai Qianzhou some pointers on acupuncture.
Bai Qianzhou listened to Fu Wan's words. The cloth was unrolled, and the golden needles were once again displayed in front of everyone.
He Guozhong and He Guohua couldn't see anything clearly, but based on their experience, they could only judge that the object was indeed made of gold.
Only Sun Deming looked delighted, as if he wanted to touch her but couldn't, which puzzled He Guohua and He Guozhong.
Sun Deming is a well-known acupuncturist in the wealthy circles of Hong Kong. With his financial resources, getting a set of gold needles shouldn't be a problem for him.
"Grandpa Sun, are these golden needles very rare?"
He Guohua couldn't help but ask, "You're not short of money. If you like it, why don't you just pay someone to print a copy?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Deming rolled his eyes and said, "What do you know, kid? Do you think you can exchange gold for gold needles?"
That's completely wrong. A gold needle is not just gold. It's not that I look down on the craftsmanship of the artisans in Hong Kong, but no one in the entire city can make the gold needle I need.
"Hehe, you young folks don't understand. The preciousness of gold needles lies not only in the properties of their raw materials but also in the craftsmanship involved in their making. These gold needles must be inserted into the body with minimal pain, yet the person holding the handle can control the pressure to treat the patient. How many people can achieve that level of precision?"
He Guohua was completely bewildered by these words, and Sun Deming felt as if he were talking to a brick wall.
"Forget it, forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. All you people know is how to make money, you have no idea about the intricacies of doctors!"
After Sun Deming finished speaking, he reluctantly rolled up the gold needle carefully and returned it to Bai Qianzhou.
"Young man, this thing is rare, so I'll let it go. But don't show it to people so casually next time."
Acupuncture is a profound and complex field; you need to be patient and learn it slowly!
After saying that, he thought for a moment, then took out a notebook from his bag and handed it to Bai Qianzhou.
