Chapter 519 Qiao Xi's Golden Needle is the Real One
"The tail of this acupuncture needle is flat!"
"The fat ginseng embroidered on the outside only has two palm-sized leaves, less than 15 leaflets! It's fake!"
“It’s true!”
Their eyeballs are hanging on the golden needles.
Huang Bingyi picked up the golden needle beside Qiao Xi, thinking of it with nostalgia: "Lamp stand, flat-hair needle. This golden needle has been away from me for many years. I gave it away out of anger at the time, but I didn't expect to regret it for so long. Seeing it today is also a fate."
"The golden needle in Qiao Xi's hand is the real one!"
Sun Weimeng was shouting loudly on the sidelines!
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Many people came to their senses and finally understood.
"The golden needle in Lu Yingxue's hand is actually fake? She said she admires Mr. Huang, but she doesn't even know if it's real or not?"
"Miss Lu must have been deceived! Who could have thought of this detail of the golden needle? I hope her admiration for the old man is not fake."
"I won't tell you who will be embarrassed if you show a set of fake gold needles in this kind of situation!"
There are many different opinions.
Lu Yingxue's willow-shaped eyes flashed with surprise, and her whole body tensed. She tried hard to maintain her expression, trying not to lose her composure in front of the camera.
How is that possible!
How could the gift Zhongyi gave her be fake!
She tried to keep her voice calm. "I've been looking for this set of gold needles for a long time, and finally got it from a friend. I thought..."
Many speculations flashed through Lu Yingxue's mind, and everything seemed to point to Zhong Yi.
Did he do it on purpose?
No matter how good she is at disguising herself, she is still just a girl in her twenties and cannot be perfect.
The mentality has been affected.
Lu Bannong, the old fox, was more composed and apologized profusely, "Mr. Huang, I'm so sorry. I made a fool of myself. Yingxue was so happy when she got this set of golden needles. It's all my fault for not checking them carefully. I let her get cheated."
Several young Chinese medicine practitioners also spoke well of Lu Yingxue.
“Miss Lu’s heart is true!”
"She didn't mean to do it. Who would have thought that?"
Lu Yingxue's eyes also reddened at the right moment. She lowered her attitude in front of Huang Bingyi and said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Huang. I know you're sorry. I wanted to give you a surprise and return the item to its rightful owner afterward. But I didn't expect it to end up in vain... It's Yingxue's fault for not doing things right."
She also wanted to act pitiful in front of Mr. Huang and gain his sympathy.
I hope Huang Bingyi can see her talent and hard work and still accept her as his apprentice.
Looking at her like this, Qiao Xi lowered his head and curled the corners of his mouth.
If what she took today was fake, she would have been ridiculed and mocked.
I'm afraid she will be forced to withdraw from the competition. These people will not let her have an easy time anyway.
Huang Bingyi said in a somewhat cold tone, "Whether or not these are my golden needles, they are a good set. Treating illnesses and saving lives doesn't require so many rituals. I hope you can, as Miss Qiao said, learn from your mistakes, even if they're fake, and take this as encouragement."
"Yes! I'll keep this lesson in mind."
Lu Yingxue felt a surge of resentment in her heart.
Qiao girl?
Was Huang Bingyi easily moved by Qiao Xi so quickly?
Lu Yingxue took a deep breath. It didn't matter. Her father had already made preparations. Qiao Xi wouldn't pass the second round of tests. Why would Huang Bingyi accept such a disciple?
Once she wins the first place, her chances of success will be greater.
Must win!
The farce ended, everyone returned to their seats, and security guards intervened to maintain order.
After Huang Bingyi checked all the needles, he took his seat in the judges' seat. Lu Bannong also went up to the podium and began to announce the rules of the second round of competition.
Xiang Mingzhu laughed strangely, glanced at Qiao Xi, and said in a low voice, "You are quite capable. You even made Lu Yingxue suffer a setback."
Qiao Xi stared at her expression carefully: "Isn't she your cousin? Why do you seem to be gloating?"
Xiang Mingzhu gave him a cold smile. "This is a competition, not a sisterly love thing. You and her... are both my competitors. Whoever suffers misfortune is a good thing for me."
The little affection he had for Lu Yingxue was shattered by his father's phone call.
They all wanted to sacrifice her to pave the way for Lu Yingxue.
Let her and Qiao Xi die together and be eliminated together.
Lu Yingxue must have known about this. Xiang Mingzhu was furious at the perceived advantage. Ultimately, she found a compromise that gave her the best of both worlds.
Qiao Xi will soon see what she's capable of.
snort.
Qiao Xi slowly withdrew her gaze and listened to the introduction of the second round of rules.
"The second round will be acupuncture and decoctions. There are no restrictions on the methods used. Our Chinese Medicine Association has temporarily assigned twenty volunteers, who will be randomly assigned by drawing lots. After each contestant completes their pulse diagnosis, they will perform a practical exercise. Acupuncture or decoctions, or both, are acceptable. The final judgement will be made by five senior practitioners."
"One more thing to note! The time for the third round has been adjusted to the day after tomorrow! This is the result of our association's discussion. We don't want our colleagues who have come from afar to waste extra time and money in the imperial capital."
The pulse case in traditional Chinese medicine refers to the medical card, which will state the symptoms, pulse condition and medication.
Soon temporary treatment beds were set up in the venue, and the volunteer patients were already lying on them.
There are also herbal medicine cups and soup pots on the side. If necessary, you can write down the prescription so that the staff can get the Chinese medicinal materials to avoid confusion.
However, the contestants need to prepare the Chinese medicine themselves.
"This round of competition lasts two hours, starting now!"
The big hourglass on the sidelines slowly began to count down.
Lying on the examination bed in front of Qiao Xi was a little girl of seven or eight years old. She lay weakly on the bed and called out to her sister. Qiao Xi comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I will treat you."
She glanced at the main complaint noted by the staff: the child had a small appetite, anorexia, and had frequent low-grade fevers for the past month.
"Sister, Nian Nian has a stomachache..." The child cried softly, looking very pitiful.
Qiao Xi gently massaged her belly and found nothing unusual. The child's temperature was high, so she did have a fever.
She bent down and whispered, "So your name is Nian Nian. Then stick out your tongue and let me see it."
Doctors always have more patience when treating pediatric patients.
Fortunately, the little girl was very obedient and stuck out her tongue.
The tip of the tongue is red, the tongue coating is white, and the middle part is slightly thick.
Qiao Xi held her hand again and began to take her pulse.
Thin pulse!
No abnormalities.
She was very cautious and only wrote four words on the pulse record after checking it thoroughly.
Stagnation in children.
This is a common pediatric condition, especially in summer and autumn, with a high incidence rate. Children have weak spleens and stomachs, and a little carelessness can lead to food accumulation. Over time, insufficient nutrition can affect development.
From the corner of his eye, Qiao Xi saw a young woman in the room looking anxiously over here.
I guess it must be the little girl's mother. As all parents in the world, mothers always have endless worries.
Children's stagnation can be solved directly with acupuncture, without the need for decoctions.
Conventional methods were slow to show results, so Qiao Xi decided to add acupuncture and massage to take into account both the competition and the child's tolerance.
Massage first, then acupuncture.
"Niannian, I'm going to treat your illness now, so it might be a little painful. Once you're cured, you'll be able to eat a lot of your favorite foods, so you have to be strong."
Qiao Xi has gentle eyes and speaks softly.
"Um!"
The child was very well-behaved. Qiao Xi gently undressed her and massaged the various acupoints around her belly button to relieve the symptoms.
Other young Chinese medicine practitioners in the clinic have already started using decoctions to treat patients. The charcoal fire is rising from the small stove, the small enameled casserole is bubbling with steam, and the smell of medicine is everywhere.
Qiao Xi's focus was entirely on the child, and she was completely unaware of the danger behind it!
"What is that person going to do!"
