Ning Wan looked at Jiang Yuwei and recalled the scene of playing with Xiao Zuo at the Sun residence. The two of them had a great time, but Xiao Zuo said he wanted to take her to the inner courtyard to see something good.
Ning Wan had been told by Jiang Yuwei not to go far, so she didn't want to go. However, she couldn't resist Xiao Zuo's persistent pleading and, in addition, Ning Wan herself was a little curious, so she followed Xiao Zuo to that courtyard.
No sooner had Ning Wan entered the courtyard than Xiao Zuo shoved her against the artificial hill. Ning Wan bumped her head and fell to the ground. She vaguely heard Xiao Zuo muttering something like, "Your mother harmed my mother, so I'll make you suffer too, hmph."
Ning Wan thought for a moment and then smiled at Jiang Yuwei:
"Mom, I'm fine. I just accidentally bumped into the artificial hill."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Wan with heartache and said:
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have let you play with Xiao Zuo."
Ning Wan shook her head and said:
"Mother is the best mother in the world."
At this moment, Doctor Lin walked in with the prescription and smiled at Ning Wan:
"Wan'er is such a good girl. Does your head still hurt? Is there anything that feels uncomfortable right now?"
Ning Wan shook her head weakly at Doctor Lin.
Seeing that Ning Wan was no longer in serious condition, Doctor Lin handed the written prescription to Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Yuwei, this prescription is for reducing swelling and removing bruising. Wan'er's head injury is something we can't afford to leave her with any lasting effects. After you get home, give the child this prescription for seven days, and then bring her back to me for a follow-up check-up. You need to pay close attention to the child's condition these next few days. If she develops a high fever or seizures, you must seek medical attention immediately."
Jiang Yuwei nodded, took the prescription, and went to the front to get the medicine. After getting the medicine, Jiang Yuwei carried Ning Wan out of Huichuntang and headed towards Moxianzhai.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Ink Fragrance Studio, Ning Huaizhi noticed the injury on Ning Wan's head and hurriedly said with concern:
"Yuwei, what's wrong with Wan'er?"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Huaizhi and said:
“Huaizhi, Wan’er is injured. It’s all my fault for not taking good care of her. I just took her to Doctor Lin to get some medicine. She needs to go back and drink it for seven days.”
Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei's face full of self-reproach and said helplessly:
"It's good that you're alright. Quickly take Wan'er to the backyard to rest."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and carried Wan'er to the backyard. She put Ning Wan on the bed, washed the swollen bumps with spiritual spring water, gave Ning Wan a bowl of spiritual spring water to drink, and then let Ning Wan sleep in the room.
Jiang Yuwei went to the backyard and soaked all the herbs that Doctor Lin had given her. She needed to hurry up and brew a dose for Ning Wan to drink. Jiang Yuwei then went to the front and said to Ning Zhao:
“Zhao’er, we’re not going to sign up for memberships for now. Go to the backyard and take care of your sister. I’ve already prepared the medicine. I’ll start boiling it in a quarter of an hour. I’ve also prepared the water in the bucket for you. Each dose of medicine should be boiled three times, for a quarter of an hour each time. After it’s boiled, let it cool to a warm temperature and then feed it to your sister.”
Seeing that Ning Wan was injured, Ning Zhao couldn't sit still at the counter any longer. Now that her mother had spoken, she quickly put down her calligraphy brush and went to the backyard to take care of Ning Wan.
Jiang Yuwei then pushed Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair towards Huichuntang.
“Huaizhi, I want to discuss with Doctor Lin about having him teach me the acupuncture technique he used on you. If we really have to escape in the future, I can treat you on the road. I really hope your leg can get better soon.”
Upon hearing this, Ning Huaizhi smiled and turned to look at Jiang Yuwei:
"Alright, let's have a good talk with Doctor Lin and give him more money, otherwise it will be too easy for us to learn his skills by stealing his knowledge."
Jiang Yuwei patted Ning Huaizhi on the shoulder and smiled:
"Okay, I understand."
Upon arriving at Huichuntang, the servant led Jiang Yuwei and Ning Huaizhi directly to the backyard. Seeing that no one else was in the room, Jiang Yuwei said to Doctor Lin:
"Dr. Lin, I have a favor to ask you today..."
While administering acupuncture to Ning Huaizhi, Doctor Lin looked up at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Yuwei, given our relationship, is there anything you can't say? Tell me."
Jiang Yuwei glanced at Ning Huaizhi, then looked at Doctor Lin and slowly said:
"I know this might be asking too much of you, but I really have no other choice. The situation is chaotic right now. Yesterday, we encountered bandits on our way home. Dr. Lin may not know, but my home is located at the foot of the mountain. We are all prepared to flee at any moment."
Jiang Yuwei paused for a moment, then continued:
"I think Huaizhi's leg will definitely not heal in two or three months. If something goes wrong during this time and the treatment of Huaizhi's leg is interrupted, it will be even more difficult for him to recover. Right now, I really have no other choice, so I thought I would ask you for help."
At this moment, Doctor Lin had already finished inserting the acupuncture needles into Ning Huaizhi's body and stood up to say to him:
"The needle can be removed in 15 minutes."
After saying that, he looked up at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Yuwei, just say what you want to say."
Jiang Yuwei looked into Dr. Lin's eyes, mustered her courage, and said:
"I want to learn acupuncture from you. I was thinking that if Huaizhi really can't come to your shop to treat his leg, I can still heal his leg for him. Don't worry, I only want to learn the acupuncture technique for treating Huaizhi's leg injury. I'll pay you tuition!"
Upon hearing this, Dr. Lin laughed heartily and said:
"Oh, I thought you were going to say something amazing? Turns out it's just about learning acupuncture. That's easy. Go get some paper and pen and draw down all the acupuncture points I'm going to use on Huaizhi. I'll tell you the basic acupuncture techniques later, including how deep to insert the needles and how long to insert them. Record all of that. That's the fastest way."
Jiang Yuwei was surprised that Doctor Lin agreed so readily. She hurriedly went to the front to get paper and pen and drew the acupoints according to Doctor Lin's method. Doctor Lin pointed out the correct positions to her and asked her to try the needles on herself first.
After learning for a while, Jiang Yuwei had almost mastered it, and Doctor Lin was very satisfied with her comprehension.
“Yuwei, if your family can get through this crisis safely, you can come to my shop and become my apprentice. I will teach you properly.”
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"Alright, may I call you Master now?"
Dr. Lin waved his hand and said:
“I don’t have a mediocre apprentice like you. You can call me master when you’ve truly learned my skills. Alright, now you remove the needles from Huaizhi’s body and I’ll instruct you.”
Jiang Yuwei nodded and put down her pen and paper. Under Doctor Lin's guidance, she removed all the needles one by one. Ning Huaizhi smiled at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Thank you, Yuwei."
Seeing that Ning Huaizhi's forehead was covered in cold sweat, Jiang Yuwei quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Seeing this, Dr. Lin quickly got up to leave, turning back to Jiang Yuwei as he went and said:
"Next time you come with Huaizhi for acupuncture, you can do the needles yourself while I watch. Remember to practice more when you get back."
