Chapter 54: Unblocking
Mr. Wang shook his head as he spoke. He had been suffering from a cough for three years.
Over the past three years, I have seen countless doctors and taken countless medicines, but this cough never got better. In the end, they all said that there was something wrong with my lungs.
He invited a doctor who specialized in treating lung diseases, and after a few months of acupuncture and herbal medicine, his symptoms were alleviated. But when the weather turned cold, he started coughing again when he was exposed to the cold wind.
Until now, he has been coughing all the time, his throat is sore, or his voice is so hoarse that he can't even speak.
At this time, another fat old doctor held his round belly, pushed Ge Lao away, and said with a smile: "Hey, Ge Lao, you can't do it, let me take a look!"
Mr. Ge was squeezed so hard that he staggered and almost fell down. When he saw the fat old doctor, he snorted coldly and moved away with a flick of his sleeves.
"Fatty Yuan, I'd like to see what good ideas you have!"
Lin Qian looked at the two old men from behind and found it very funny. They were in their sixties and seventies, but they were like little children. It was really true, old children acting like little children.
Elder Yuan reached out to feel Mr. Wang's pulse, then pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't have a very good treatment for this condition. I can only alleviate the symptoms, or take daily regimens and eat some medicinal foods. A complete cure is almost impossible."
After hearing what Mr. Yuan said, Mr. Wang lowered his eyes in disappointment.
Mr. Ge and Mr. Yuan are the most famous and best doctors in Bo County. If neither of them can do anything, then his illness is probably incurable.
Mr. Wang was disappointed for only a moment, then he raised his eyes again and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Elder Ge and Elder Yuan. I'll let you treat me."
Mr. Ge is good at acupuncture, and Mr. Yuan is good at medicinal food. With the combined strength of the two, they should be able to take care of his body, and he won't ask for anything else.
As soon as Master Wang said this, the maid started to chase people away.
Seeing this, Lin Qian was unhappy and stood up and said, "Master Wang, my master hasn't shown you yet, why are you chasing us away?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on the master and disciple.
The doctors who were about to leave couldn't help laughing when they heard Lin Qian's voice and looked at Meng Yi.
A doctor advised, "Young lady, have you heard of the reputations of Elder Ge and Elder Yuan? With the two of them taking action, there's naturally nothing for anyone else to do."
"Exactly. Looking at the way you two are dressed, you two must be traveling doctors, right? You're not even registered doctors. Don't make a fool of yourself in front of these two seniors."
Lin Qian pouted in dissatisfaction, rolled up her sleeves and was ready to have a verbal argument with the other person for three hundred rounds, but Meng Yi grabbed her by the back of the collar.
"Master?" Lin Qian turned around and looked at him.
Meng Yi did not answer Lin Qian, but looked at Master Wang. He found that Master Wang frowned somewhat unhappily, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
Meng Yi understood that Master Wang was getting impatient.
"My name is Meng Yanqing, nice to meet you, Mr. Ge and Mr. Yuan. I have a question, I wonder if you can answer it." Meng Yi said.
Elder Ge and Elder Yuan exchanged a glance, and Elder Yuan smiled and nodded, "Excuse me."
"Is Mr. Wang's lung meridian seriously blocked? Do you have any method to unclog the lung meridian? If the lung meridian is unblocked, can it cure Mr. Wang's condition?"
These three questions made Elder Ge and Elder Yuan look solemn. They exchanged a glance, and this time it was Elder Ge who said, "Master Wang's lung meridian is severely blocked, so we can't cure him. If we can unblock it, we can cure him."
Mr. Wang's eyes lit up, and he sat up excitedly, his movements a little too big, and he started coughing violently again.
"Cough, cough, cough, Doctor Meng, do you have any way to cure my illness? Cough." Mr. Wang asked.
Meng Yi nodded.
Elder Ge asked, "How does Doctor Meng plan to clear Mr. Wang's lung meridian?"
He also knew that there was no other way except acupuncture, but as for acupuncture, he knew many methods, but he had never seen one that could unblock the lung meridian.
Meng Yi said nothing. He simply grabbed Master Wang's right hand, rolled up his sleeve, and said to the maid standing beside the bed, "Get a bowl of water and a piece of jade for scraping."
The maid glanced at Mr. Wang, saw him nod, and left immediately.
Clean water and scraping pads were quickly brought over. Meng Yi motioned Lin Qian to come over and scrape Master Wang: "Scrape along the lung meridian."
Lin Qian responded and started to use force. After only two or three times, Master Wang's entire arm was covered with purple and black marks, which looked very scary.
The doctors did not leave, but stayed here to watch. Old Yuan came over and touched Mr. Wang's arm, frowned and pondered in silence.
When he took Mr. Wang's pulse, he didn't realize that his lung meridian was so severely blocked. If he had known, he would definitely not have mentioned prescribing medicated food.
Mr. Wang is in a critical condition. If he continues to recuperate like this, he will have less than a year to live at most.
But Mr. Ge did not watch Lin Qian doing the scraping, but stared at Meng Yi's movements. He saw him take out the silver needle bag, then light a candle and disinfect the silver needles.
Seeing that Lin Qian had almost finished scraping, Meng Yi called for a stop: "That's enough." Lin Qian immediately stopped and made way.
Meng Yi inserted silver needles into Mr. Wang's acupuncture points, and then gently flicked the ends of the needles. After the trembling of the ends of the needles stopped, black blood actually flowed out of the needle holes.
Soon, the bed under Mr. Wang's arm was stained with a large black bloodstain.
"It's the small Zhoutian acupuncture method, no, that's not right." Old Ge watched Meng Yi insert the needles, but in the end, he actually added four more needles, and he couldn't see the way these four needles went.
After four injections, Mr. Wang immediately felt his throat tighten and he felt like vomiting. He tried to hold it in for a long time but couldn't, so he leaned over the head of the bed and retched.
At this moment, Meng Yi slapped him on the back. Master Wang screamed and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood.
After spitting out the phlegm, he found that his chest suddenly felt much better, and there was no longer a wheezing sound when he breathed.
"Doctor Meng, I feel much better now." Mr. Wang said, feeling very relaxed now.
Old Ge and Old Yuan came over at the same time and wanted to take Mr. Wang's pulse. In the end, Doctor Yuan grabbed Mr. Wang's left wrist.
After a while, Old Yuan let go of his hand, smiled bitterly, and clasped his fists towards Meng Yi.
Then, Mr. Ge, who took the pulse, did the same thing.
"Doctor Meng's medical skills are superb, better than the two of us."
Mr. Wang's pulse condition has improved a lot now. He only needs acupuncture and herbal medicine to assist him. Within a month, Mr. Wang's illness will be cured.
Seeing that both Mr. Yuan and Mr. Ge admitted that their medical skills were not as good as Meng Yi's, Lin Qian immediately became proud and looked at the doctors who were stunned.
"Doctor Meng, I was wrong before and neglected you. Now I apologize to you. I'll leave my illness in your hands." Mr. Wang also noticed that he hadn't coughed since he spit out the phlegm.
Together with Mr. Yuan and Mr. Ge, he has already realized how powerful Meng Yi is.
