After talking with her family, Qi Xinlan entered the space to study again. She picked up the needles and started practicing again, muttering the acupuncture formula: "Stay at Sanli for the abdomen, Weizhong for the waist and back, Lieque for the head and neck, and Hegu for the face and mouth..."
Xiao Ling sensed his master coming in and ran out, only to see Qi Xinlan, like a hedgehog, with silver needles piercing almost her entire body. His nose felt sore. "Sister Lan, aren't you in pain?"
"I don't feel any pain! Xiaoling, in fact, as long as acupuncture is mastered well, the pain is very light, and it even feels a little comfortable." Seeing Xiaoling's red eyes, his heart softened.
"Sister Lan, you are lying. How can this be comfortable?" Xiao Ling was a little unconvinced.
"How about you try it?" Qi Xinlan said with a sly smile.
"It really doesn't hurt?" Xiao Ling was a little scared, but still asked insistently.
"Really! Believe me!" Qi Xinlan raised three fingers and promised.
"Then come on!" Xiao Ling closed her eyes, looking like she was going to die on the battlefield, which made Qi Xinlan laugh a little. She picked up the needle and slowly stabbed it in the chest.
The moment the needle entered her skin, she felt only a brief, "mosquito-bite"-like pain, followed by a tingling sensation. She felt a sense of ecstasy, as if floating on clouds. Gradually, Xiao Ling's eyelids grew heavier, and she slowly fell into a coma...
When Qi Xinlan saw Xiao Ling fell asleep, she was delighted. She had actually succeeded. She had finally mastered acupuncture!
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine mentions the therapeutic effects of acupuncture: "The effect is so reliable that it is like the wind blowing away the clouds, and the brightness is like seeing the sky."
It was true. Xiaoling had not slept well these days and she was very worried. However, Xiaoling was afraid of acupuncture, so she had to take the risk and let Xiaoling relax her vigilance. The effect was quite good!
After Qi Xinlan brought Xiaoling back to the room, she continued to study medicine.
The next day, at daybreak, Qi Xinlan and Qi Xinwei drove a ox cart to the town to look at houses.
When we arrived at the house, just as Qi Xinwei said, it had two floors. The first floor was the storefront, and the second floor was the accommodation. There was also a small courtyard behind the first floor. It was not big, only a few dozen square meters, but it was a bit shabby!
There is a small kitchen on the west side of the yard, and on the south side of the yard is the neighbor's house and a low earthen wall.
Qi Xinlan was still quite satisfied.
"Ahem... ahem... young man, why are you here again? I told you, I won't sell it to you for less than 500 yuan!"
Suddenly, an old voice brought Qi Xinlan back to her senses. Following the voice, she saw an old man in a gray coat and with a pale complexion walking in, accompanied by Qi Xinwei.
"Old man, please give it a lower price. Five hundred is too expensive. I can build a nice house in the village with five hundred yuan," Qi Xinwei continued to lobby.
"Then just build it in the village. I won't sell it for less than five hundred!" The old man's face changed and he retorted excitedly, coughing violently twice after that.
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the old man's face turned red and he seemed to be out of breath, looking very uncomfortable!
Seeing this, Qi Xinlan pulled out the silver needle from her waist and quickly inserted it into the Feishu, Gaohuang, Taiyuan, Tanzhong, Chize and other acupoints. Only then did the old man's complexion gradually return to normal.
The old man just felt a tightness in his chest, as if an invisible big hand was pinching his throat, making it impossible for him to breathe. But after being pricked by the little girl in front of him for a few injections, the tightness in his chest disappeared instantly, his breathing became smooth, and he even felt a little comfortable.
"Little girl, do you know Chinese medicine?" the old man excitedly pulled Qi Xinlan and asked.
"I know a little, grandpa. You probably have weak lungs and spleen qi, which is what Western medicine calls chronic bronchitis." Qi Xinlan said as he observed the old man.
"God! How did you see it at a glance? I went to the hospital and got a lot of tests before I found out. They also prescribed me a bunch of western medicine, but nothing I took helped. It even got worse. I coughed all night long. The reason I sold this house so expensive is because of my illness. The doctor said it was bronchitis dilatation and needed surgery to be cured!" The old man was in tears when he spoke. It was obviously just a minor cough, so how could it develop into a condition that required surgery?
He didn't want to sell the house, as it was full of memories for him and his wife. It was just that his cough was too painful and he couldn't hold on any longer.
"Grandpa, if you trust me, I'll take your pulse." Qi Xinlan said with a smile.
"Little girl, I trust you." After being pricked a few times by the little girl, he felt much better. It was better than the so-called Western medicine. He had a bunch of tests and medicines, but his condition did not improve.
Now he had great confidence in Qi Xinlan's medical skills. Thinking of this, the old man stretched out his hand without hesitation. Qi Xinlan put his hand on it and found that the pulse was weak and powerless, which confirmed it in his heart.
"Grandpa, you must have had a serious illness when you were young, but you didn't seek medical treatment in time, which left a root of the disease. Now, if you don't pay attention and catch a cold, it will easily cause coughing or even difficulty breathing." Qi Xinlan retracted his hand.
"God! Little girl, I did fall into water when I was young and had a fever for three days and three nights. There was a shortage of supplies at that time, so where could we get medicine? I managed to get through it all!" The old man said excitedly, his eyes showing more trust in Qi Xinlan.
"It's not that magical. This is what your pulse told me. I'm just telling it to you!" Qi Xinlan answered modestly.
"As expected, Chinese medicine is profound and extensive! Nowadays, hospitals prefer Western medicine, and Chinese medicine is likely to gradually decline." After saying this, the old man sighed, expressing his bitterness and helplessness in today's society!
"No! Old man, our country needs to build and develop before we can introduce advanced Western medical techniques. Western medicine has clear diagnosis, easy-to-understand explanations, effective and convenient medication, and these are its advantages. We must absorb and learn from it. But it cannot replace Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine has a long history of 5,000 years, which has been passed down from generation to generation. It embodies the hard work of many doctors. For example, when faced with a large number of diseases caused by viruses, mycoplasmas, and chlamydia, Western medicine antibiotics are ineffective, while Traditional Chinese Medicine can cure them. Or, Western medicine does work quickly for minor illnesses, but when faced with major diseases, Traditional Chinese Medicine is the world's mainstream medicine! This is beyond doubt! So the country will not abandon Traditional Chinese Medicine!"
China is developing now, and many things are being learned from the West. However, this doesn't mean we have to abandon our own unique skills. It's just a transition. Once Western medicine has been introduced, Chinese medicine will still be the dominant force in the future! Even foreigners are visiting Chinese medicine clinics for acupuncture, massage, cupping, and more.
"Really?" Tears flashed in the old man's eyes. The previous movement destroyed so many people's hard work. Even his old friend did not survive that movement.
"Yes! Old man, you must believe that the country will get better and better!" Qi Xinlan said with a firm look.
Next, Qi Xinlan prescribed a prescription for the old man and asked him to go to the Chinese medicine shop for acupuncture every day!
As long as you continue acupuncture for about a week, combined with the effectiveness of Chinese medicine, you will be cured in two weeks!
The old man was very happy to hear this and said that if it was really good, he could sell the house to them at a lower price!
