y Wan Jiayi's current state; it shouldn’t have happened according to reason. Xiao Yu calmly pondered the various possibilities for this situation.Seeing Xiao Yu deep in thought, Wan Hongguang and Song...Miao Shou Tian Shi sodu
The woman's companions saw her condition and showed anxious expressions. Her face had turned deathly pale, which made the two of them quite scared.
"Xiaotong, take a look at her while I go find the train conductor..." The boy stood up and said to the girl wearing glasses.
"Wait a moment! She's having stomach cramps! Have her lie down on the seat; let me help her. I'm a doctor!" Upon seeing the boy about to leave for the train conductor, Xiao Yu was about to speak but stopped when an elderly man stood up and spoke.
Hearing the elder’s words, Xiao Yu swallowed his words back and got up to assist the girl's companions in laying her down flat on the seat.
The elder was correct; this girl indeed had stomach cramps. That was why Xiao Yu refrained from speaking further.
What the elderly man said was accurate, so Xiao Yu didn't have any intention of stepping forward to help. If the elder’s diagnosis had been wrong, it wouldn’t matter for him to step in, but now that the elder had diagnosed correctly, if he were to act, others might not believe such a young person or even be angered by his intervention.
Upon hearing the elder's words, the girl's two companions exchanged glances and turned their attention towards the elder. They immediately believed him to be a doctor due to his aura and quickly laid her down on the seat as instructed.
The elder then got up from his seat and took down a small box from the luggage rack. The elder’s box was made of wood, like an ancient woman's jewelry box, with rectangular dimensions.
After placing the wooden box on the table, he gently pressed both sides with his hands, causing a soft click sound as it opened.
The elder's hand movements caused two small thin drawers to open like doors in opposite directions of where his hands were positioned, looking very convenient and compact.
These drawers were located at the center of the wooden box. Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned by its appearance before his five senses instantly enveloped the entire box.
The expression on Xiao Yu's face revealed amazement as he sensed that this small wooden box had ten layers of tiny drawers, something which wouldn’t have been discernible just from looking at it.
Moreover, judging by how effortlessly the elder operated the box, it was clear that he frequently used it. The patterns on the surface were also very elegant and ancient-looking, suggesting that this wooden box had a considerable age to it.
The old man opened the wooden box and pulled out a golden needle from one of its layers.
Holding the golden needle, he approached the girl who was pale-faced, clutching her stomach in agony, and lying on the seat.
The girl's companions watched the old man nervously. Xiao Yu also kept his eyes fixed on him as he prepared to perform acupuncture.
Stepping forward, the old man gently lifted up a bit of the girl's clothes, revealing her undershirt. He then inserted the golden needle through the fabric.
Af ter inserting the needle, he held it with his right hand and slowly pulled it out half an inch before pushing it back in again. This process was repeated many times until finally, he stopped and said, "It's done. Let her rest for a while before removing the needle. She'll be fine."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the girl lying on the seat gradually calmed down; her twisted face returned to normal, and her frown eased. Soon after, she opened her eyes. The pain had vanished from her expression, and there was no trace of sweat or paleness left.
The old man observed the change in her condition and walked over to remove the golden needle from her body. "It's done. You can get up now."
Upon hearing his words, the girl moved gently but felt no discomfort. She sat up from the seat.
"Thank you, sir! I am truly sorry for just now..." The girl looked as if she had never been ill at all, her face filled with gratitude. When mentioning what happened earlier, embarrassment appeared on her face.
The old man chuckled softly and waved his hand to dismiss her without saying a word, returning to his seat.
Those passengers who had gathered around the aisle dispersed as there was nothing left to see. They discussed among themselves about the old man's medical skills.
Xiao Yu saw that the girl had sat up and returned to his own seat. The acupuncture technique the old man used just now was very impressive, even surpassing that of Old Yue in skill. Xiao Yu himself could only achieve this level if he were to treat a stomach ailment like what the girl experienced.
After sitting down, Xiao Yu cast a surprised glance at the old man opposite him; when he saw the old man looking back with a smile and nod of acknowledgment, he responded by nodding his head in agreement.
"Your acupuncture technique is truly remarkable!" said Xiao Yu to the old man.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu speak, the three people next to him, two women and a man, also looked at the old man. They had always wanted to talk to this old man but felt somewhat embarrassed after recalling what happened earlier, so none of them knew how to start the conversation. When they heard Xiao Yu speaking up, they all turned their attention toward the old man.
"Of course! My grandfather is famously known as a divine needle master!" The young girl beside the old man looked at Xiao Yu and the other three people proudly after hearing what he said.
“Haha, don’t listen to this little brat. People just started calling him that out of excitement.” After hearing her words, an indulgent look appeared on the old man’s face as he rubbed the girl's hair while saying this.
"I’m not lying! Last time when I went with my grandfather to attend a medical conference, everyone there referred to him like that!" Upon hearing what the old man said, she replied in an unsatisfied tone.
“Alright then, alright. It’s fine if your grandfather was the one who called himself that.” Instead of arguing back, the old man looked at the girl indulgently this time around.
"That's right! That's right! Little sister is correct; Your grandpa is very talented!" After hearing what she said, Xiao Yu and the three young men beside the old man immediately agreed in chorus.
“Of course he is! My grandfather is the best!” The little girl responded proudly after hearing their praise for her grandpa.
The train had already arrived at the Beijing Railway Station as these people were chatting. Xiao Yu and everyone else on the train got off one by one.
After getting off the train, Xiao Yu hailed a cab heading towards Old Lady Yue’s residence.
The traffic in Beijing was terrible; it took him only an hour to reach the city from their home via train but ended up taking more than two hours to drive from the station to Old Lady Yue's place.
When Xiao Yu arrived at Old Lady Yue’s, she wasn’t around and was still seeing patients in her clinic. However, Ye Hongbin wasn't there either.
"Senior Apprentice Brother!" After entering the medical hall of the Ye Family Clinic, Xiao Yu greeted Old Lady Yue.
"Junior Apprentice Brother! You're here Take a seat." Hearing his voice, Old Lady Yue turned around and saw it was Xiao Yu. She then addressed him in return.
After sitting down on a nearby chair, Xiao Yu struck up a conversation with Old Lady Yue. After chatting for several minutes, the two of them stood up to head towards her back garden.
In the cottage at the backyard, Yue Tianlin was lying on a bed watching TV. Old Master Yue's spouse and Yue Hongbin were also there by his side.
"Senior Apprentice Uncle (Junior Apprentice Brother), you're here..." When Xiao Yu entered the room, Yue Hongbin and Old Master Yue’s spouse, who were seated beside Yue Tianlin, both stood up to greet him.
"Senior Apprentice Auntie, Hongbin…" Xiao Yu greeted them as well before looking at Yue Tianlin. At this moment, Yue Tianlin looked much better and seemed to be recovering quite nicely. Seeing that Yue Tianlin was doing fine, Xiao Yu felt relieved; after all, his leg had been broken because of Yun Xi, leaving him with a lingering sense of guilt.
"Senior Grandmaster!" Upon seeing Xiao Yu’s arrival, Yue Tianlin struggled to lift himself up.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu quickly walked over and pressed down on Yue Tianlin's shoulder. "Just lie still."
Xiao Yu then grabbed Yue Tianlin's wrist to take his pulse. After a while, he released Yue Tianlin’s wrist with a smile. "You're recovering nicely; there shouldn't be any major issues."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the entire family of Old Master Yue smiled as well. They had been checking Yue Tianlin’s pulse every day and knew that his recovery was indeed quite good. Seeing how well Yue Tianlin was recovering proved the power of the secret recipe Xiao Yu provided them.
That night, Xiao Yu did not leave but stayed at the Yues'. The next day, he would join Old Master Yue and Yue Hongbin to attend the medical exchange conference.
The following day, Xiao Yu accompanied Old Master Yue and others as they headed towards the hotel where the exchange conference was being held—Hotel Hai Tian.
When they arrived at the hotel, cars were already filling up the parking lot. Along the way, Old Master Yue had told him that this year’s medical exchange conference would differ from previous years. Previously, it was almost exclusively an event for practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine.
This time, however, with official intervention, they hoped to make it a national-level academic conference where both TCM and Western medicine practitioners could participate. They aimed to break away from the limitations of being solely a TCM meeting or confined to the northern regions.
The name of this medical exchange had also changed to an Academic Report Conference on Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, and Hotel Hai Tian was booked by the government for the accommodation needs of visiting doctors from all over. The conference itself would be held in the hotel's large meeting room.
A long banner hung above the entrance of the hotel, welcoming renowned physicians who had come from various places across China.
The attending TCM practitioners were selected by the organizers of this exchange conference from among those who had applied. These chosen TCM practitioners all held considerable fame in their respective regions or had established their own practices. Additionally, they included key figures and elites representing various medical schools. that I’m hosting this meal So, as the host, it’s only right for me to sit here!" Xiao Yu lightly laughed and said.“Alright, alright! You win, I’ll sit here too!” Zhang Shaohua then sat down beside Xi...
