Old Master Qian is Qian Liming's grandfather, and a cousin of Grandpa Qian. The two families have always been quite close.
The person that Second Grandpa was talking about was of high status, but Qian Liming didn't know the details. He only knew that the person was looking for a doctor.
Old Master Qian nodded and said, "Let's talk about it later. There's an old doctor over there now. His medical skills should be pretty good. Let him take a look first."
After obtaining the consent of his second grandfather, Qian Liming briefly introduced the situation to Tian Cai. In short, Grandpa Qian had an old leader with whom he had a good relationship. Because he had injured his waist in the battlefield when he was young, he could not get up when the weather got cold. Western medicine had no way to treat this disease, and they only prescribed some antibiotics and painkillers. After hearing from someone who knew about it, he learned that it would be better to seek treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for such injuries.
But before that, the old leader’s health was always treated by a doctor in the county health center. After just two injections, the man was sent to a farm in the southwest.
When Tian Cai heard this, he was moved. "Is the doctor at the health center's last name Hong?"
Mr. Qian was curious, "Does the little girl also know Doctor Hong?"
Tian Cai nodded, thinking about what Qian Liming had said just now, that Dr. Hong was sent to a farm in the southwest. He wondered if he could find out the specific address. It would be great if he could send him something by mail.
The old leader also wanted to take action to rescue the person, but the person who organized this matter was the grandson of an old enemy of his. If he took action, the enemy would have a handle on him. So he pretended not to know and just asked someone to intervene secretly. The Northwest Forest Farm where Dr. Hong was originally going to was changed to the Southwest Farm, and he also found a brigade with good folk customs to send the person there.
Qian Limin was worried when he saw that his second grandfather had no intention of using Tian Cai. He thought for a moment and said to Tian Cai, "Doctor Tian, I've been feeling sore in my shoulders these past few days. It's hard for me to lift my arms and put on clothes, especially at night. Can you help me take a look?"
Tian Cai smiled and said, "Then let me show you?"
"Then let's see. I still believe in your ability."
Tian Cai asked him to open his mouth and took a look. His tongue was covered with a greasy coating. She then asked Qian Liming what exactly was causing the discomfort. After checking the affected area, she asked Qian Liming to take off his shirt and lie down on the bed. She washed her hands first, took out the needle bag from her pocket, disinfected it, and started to insert needles in the shoulder joint, shoulder sac, and shoulder zhen. She inserted the needles quickly and accurately, which made Old Man Qian next to her look at her with a different eye.
Tian Cai said as he inserted the needle, "This is frozen shoulder. Most cases are caused by soft tissue degeneration, excessive activity, poor posture, etc. Yours is quite serious. You need acupuncture for about ten days."
Tian Cai's acupuncture skills have improved a lot compared to when she gave acupuncture to Qian's mother before. Her control over the needles is more precise, and she can faintly feel a stream of energy flowing between each needle, complementing each other.
As soon as Mr. Qian saw Tian Cai's technique, he already believed in the girl's acupuncture skills. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's really the case that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. Hong Siqing's ability is only this much. How old is he, and how old is this girl? It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others. God has given you such a good life!
He couldn't help but rub his wrist.
Qian Liming, as the person being pricked with the needle, felt it more realistically. He could clearly feel a heat flowing between his shoulders, and the numb and sore areas suddenly felt much better.
Once Tian Cai showed his skill, the acupuncture treatment for my second grandfather, the old leader, was almost certain to be a success.
After Tian Cai had finished inserting the needles, he washed his hands and sat aside.
"How do you think acupuncture can cure the back pain caused by the old injury I just mentioned, and how long will it take to heal?" Old Master Qian, who was sitting in another chair, couldn't help asking.
Tian Cai flexed his fingers and replied, "I can't say that. I don't know anything about the patient's condition. You only mentioned an old waist injury, but old injuries can vary in severity. The treatment time depends on the patient's individual condition. I can't guarantee it for you."
Mr. Qian nodded, "Yes, yes, that's the situation. I was wrong."
Tian Cai did not respond, and Old Man Qian did not speak anymore. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the time was almost up, Tian Cai removed the needles from Qian Liming's body one by one and asked him how he felt.
Qian Limin moved his arms and shoulders, "You know what, it's much more relaxed than before!"
He did a few stretching movements. Although he couldn't stretch it to the top of his head at once, he could lift it a little higher. The sore and heavy feeling was much relieved.
Tian Cai took out a pen and paper and wrote a prescription. "Acupuncture and moxibustion must be combined with medication and recuperation. This is the right prescription for your condition. Brother-in-law Qian just needs to find a place to get the medicine."
Qian Limin was able to find a place to get the medicine, but in order to show that he trusted Tian Cai more, he pushed the prescription back and said, "Just bring it to me when you get the acupuncture tomorrow. It's more convenient."
Mr. Qian looked at the prescription and asked, "Can I see it?"
Tian Cai didn't hide anything and simply handed over the prescription in her hand. She didn't need this thing to get the medicine herself.
"Nice handwriting!" Old Master Qian couldn't help but admire the neat and elegant handwriting. He then took the prescription and examined it carefully. Although he couldn't understand it, he still asked, "Can you tell me what's the special meaning of prescribing medicine this way?"
Tian Cai nodded and took the prescription to explain to Old Man Qian, "Brother-in-law Qian's shoulder pain makes it difficult to lift it. The initial diagnosis is frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder is classified as a limb arthritis in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Limb arthritis is caused by liver and kidney deficiency, exogenous pathogens, and blocked tendons and meridians. Based on his symptoms, I prescribed Shentong Zhuyu Decoction. It is composed of herbs such as Gentiana macrophylla, Chuanxiong, peach kernel, safflower, and licorice. Combined with acupuncture, it can dredge the meridians, harmonize yin and yang, and strengthen the body's resistance and eliminate pathogens. The medicine will soon be effective."
Mr. Qian didn't understand what Tian Cai said, but he felt that what he said made sense. Moreover, the things left by our ancestors always made people feel awe. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's just that good medicinal herbs are hard to find!"
Tian Cai also felt the same way. Many of the Chinese medicinal materials she bought at the purchasing station had average medicinal properties, and the preparation methods were somewhat different from those written in the Cai family medical books. There were even several methods of processing medicinal materials that she had never seen in Grandpa Tian's clinic for all these years.
Tian Cai felt that there could not be any mistakes in medical books, that is, different schools had different methods of processing medicinal materials, so she wanted to grow some herself, and then water them with dew, so that the medicinal properties would be amazing.
She couldn't get the seeds of many Chinese medicinal herbs, and she didn't have a suitable place, so this matter was temporarily shelved.
After they talked for a while in the room, they heard Du Chunyan shouting outside, "The meal is ready, come and eat!"
"Here I come."
Tian Cai asked Mr. Qian to go first. Qian Liming nodded slightly at her, and she lowered her eyes slightly.
She knew that Qian Liming wanted to use her to climb the ladder, and she wouldn't lose anything in this matter anyway. She wouldn't take on a job without the necessary skills.
