Su Yan didn't expect Director Jia to actually teach her the Nine Ghost Needles, the technique passed down from generation to generation, starting with the acupuncture techniques, such as lifting and inserting, twisting, circulating, flicking, scraping, shaking, and vibrating, and flying needles moving through the acupuncture points...
Su Yan was dazzled by what she saw. She felt that Director Jia's acupuncture skills were definitely better than her father's.
Although teachers do teach these things in acupuncture classes at school, they are all theories, and there is very little one-on-one guidance on acupuncture.
Jia Liangcai said that Su Yan had mastered the acupoints very well, but her wrist strength was not enough and her needle insertion speed was not fast enough. However, if she wanted to master the Ghost Shadow Nine Needles, she would have to practice more.
Su Yan listened attentively to what Jia Liangcai said. Everyone has their own expertise, and she would not casually refute in front of the boss. Others have accumulated decades of experience, and you, a student who has just started an internship, are trying to refute them by just reciting theories from books. Isn't this like showing off your skills in front of Lu Ban?
Su Yan was very respectful to Jia Liangcai, and Jia Liangcai also took good care of this junior, but some people couldn't stand it.
A young female orthopedic doctor, Li Meng, interned in the hospital last year and was finally assigned to the orthopedics department.
She is now a formal doctor. Not only has Director Jia never personally taught her, but sometimes he also points out her mistakes in front of new interns, making her embarrassed.
She had been enduring it, and after Su Yan was transferred to their department, she didn't expect that Director Jia not only did not assign the intern to the attending physician, but also personally took her in. How could she not be angry and jealous?
She saw Jia Liangcai, who was sitting across from her, flipping through an old medical book. She walked over and asked, "Director Jia, this book of yours must be quite old, right?"
Jia Liangcai didn't think much of it and just hummed casually. Li Meng glanced at the traditional Chinese characters on the book: "Gold Needle Acupuncture Points, Eight Acupuncture Styles." Could this be an ancient book in his hand? Should she report it?
Su Yan was helping Director Jia make tea when she saw Li Meng's lips curled up in an evil smile. It looked like this man was restless.
She carried the teacup and placed it on Jia Liangcai's desk. Seeing that he was still reading the ancestral acupuncture encyclopedia, she couldn't help but frown.
At noon, when it was time to get off work, Li Meng left immediately. Su Yan did not move. After the other doctors in the office had left, Su Yan walked over to Jia Liangcai and said, "Director Jia, can you lend me this book?"
"Okay, take it and read it. Return it to me in a few days. I've had this book for decades. Please don't damage it."
"Don't worry, you are my master now. I will be practicing with you for more than two months."
"Okay, I'm going back to eat. Do you want to go to your dad's house for dinner too?"
"Well, I'll have lunch with my dad."
Jia Liangcai handed the Acupuncture Encyclopedia to Su Yan, locked the drawer, took off his white coat and left.
Seeing that everyone had left, Su Yan threw the book into the space, then locked the office door and quickly went downstairs.
When I returned to my mother's house, I saw my father Su Qingshan cooking in the kitchen, so I walked over.
"Dad, you came back before me."
"Well, there's no surgery this morning, so I'll be off work at the appointed time. We'll have bitter melon fried rice and braised eggplant for lunch today."
"Dad, thank you for your hard work."
Su Yan thought of the look Li Meng gave Director Jia, and thought of her father's many medical books, and her elder brother's many foreign books.
She patted her head, wondering how she could have forgotten this. What if those people targeted their family one day and they didn't know what would happen to them?
Su Yan returned to her brother's room and checked the books on the shelf one by one, looking through them to see if there were any words that shouldn't be said. She packed the books that shouldn't be there into cardboard boxes and threw them into the space.
Then I went back to my dad's room and threw all the inappropriate books into the space.
"Yan Yan, it's time to eat. What were you doing in the room just now?"
"Dad, I'm checking your books. I've put all of my brother's foreign books into the Immortal Cave."
“Did those books have any influence?”
"Yes, if the medical books Grandpa gave you were discovered, they would definitely be burned. Some of them could even lead to disaster. I suspect someone in our department is going to report Director Jia because he studies his family's ancestral secret manual every day."
Su Qingshan felt a numbness on his back. He thought the students' trouble was over, but he didn't expect that a random book could bring disaster.
"Dad, be careful with your words from now on. Someone in our compound was arrested and investigated for saying something wrong."
"Are those people crazy?"
"Dad, our hospital has also set up a tail-cutting team, right? Those people are like poisonous snakes. If you get targeted by them, you'll be in trouble."
"We shouldn't tell anyone when we buy a house, right?"
"How could that be? You bought it with all your savings over the years."
"Will people talk about the large courtyard house your family bought?"
"Don't worry about that. The seller wrote us two sales deeds, one of which only listed the price as four thousand yuan. And the seller has already gone to Hong Kong City, so they can't find anyone to confront us."
In this era, housing was allocated by the state and the buying and selling of houses was not allowed. Of course, privately owned courtyard houses like this could still be sold.
"As long as you're all okay, I'll be relieved. Keep all the books in our house. Go back to the city tomorrow at noon to see if there are any banned books in the courtyard."
"Okay, I understand."
In turbulent times, she must protect the safety of her family no matter what and nip any unknown dangers in the bud.
After dinner, Su Yan went back to work and found that there were a few more people from the "house search office" in the office.
"What's going on?"
"Comrade Su Yan, you've arrived just in time. Comrade Li Meng has reported that Comrade Jia Liangcai is secretly hoarding ancient medical books."
Su Yan said calmly, "What ancient medical book?"
Jia Liangcai felt a chill on his back. What should he do? He had caused such a great harm to Su Qingshan's daughter.
Li Meng came up to Su Yan with a smile and said, "Is Director Jia's ancient acupuncture book with you?"
"Are you talking about the Acupuncture Encyclopedia?" Su Yan opened her drawer and took out a copy of the Acupuncture Encyclopedia, which was revised in 1955, and placed it on the desk.
"Director Jia, do they also want to borrow this book from you?"
Li Meng flipped through the acupuncture encyclopedia on the table. The book was in simplified Chinese and definitely not the one Director Jia had been so fond of. Su Yan had deliberately used this book to trick her. No way!
"It's not this adapted Acupuncture Encyclopedia. What I saw was a yellowed ancient book."
Su Yan smiled and said, "Comrade Li Meng, your myopia is at least 800 degrees, right? You must have seen it wrong."
"Director Jia, you lent me this book, right? There's your signature on it."
Jia Liangcai took a look at the cover of the book. The signature looked like his handwriting but it was not written by him. He knew that Su Qingshan's daughter was helping him. Did she notice something unusual early on and deliberately borrow the book from him?
"This book is from my comrade Xiao Su, who is learning acupuncture from me. I lent it to her."
Several comrades from the "House-Search Office" looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that Comrade Li Meng was lying?
"Comrade Li Meng, where is the ancient book you mentioned? Find it and let's burn it together."
"It must be in Director Jia's desk drawer. If not, it must be in his home."
