“Ah Tao, in fact, my master also asked me this question. Guess how I answered?” The Immortal Crane slowly stood up. His eyes flickered with darkness, and the smile on his face was even more unfathomable.
Ji Zhao thought about it seriously, then shook his head gently. “l can’t guess Master’s answer, but I think Master’s answer will definitely be different from mine?”
“Save first, kill after.” Immortal Crane lowered his eyes to hide the viciousness in his eyes and sighed softly.
When Ji Zhao heard this answer, she was a little stunned at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was reasonable.
“Others think that l, your master, care for the world, but these false reputations have never been what I want.” Immortal Crane suddenly laughed bitterly. “Forget it, let’s not talk about the past. However, my good disciple, I think your answer is extremely good.”
Better than him, at least.
Back then, his original intention in practicing medicine was to harm people, but Ah Tao was different.
His good disciple had a benevolent heart.
“Master, I don’t know what kind of pain you experienced in the past, but I hope that you can be more happy now and in the future.” Ji Zhao looked into his eyes and said sincerely.
Meeting her sincere gaze, Immortal Crane could not help but smile.
On the spur of the moment, he decided to take Ji Zhao as his disciple. Perhaps this was the very right thing he had done.
On the sixth day of June, there were only ten days left until Shen Yao and Ji Zhao’s wedding ceremony. Everyone in the Shen family was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, except for Ji Zhao, of course.
Every time she volunteered to help, Zhao Lanhua would stop her.
“Our Ah Tao doesn’t have to worry about anything. Eat well, sleep well, and be a beautiful new bride!’
As for the chef on the day of the wedding, Zhao Lanhua already had a candidate in mind.
“Lanhua, that’s not appropriate!” Tian Guangsheng did not expect Zhao Lanhua to ask him to be the chef of the wedding banquet. He waved his hand and refused. “That won’t do! Besides, it’s not like you don’t know that my right wrist has long lost its strength. I’m afraid it’s difficult for me to even toss and stir the wok! ”
With a flash of inspiration, Zhao Lanhua led him to Ji Zhao.
“Grandfather, Mother?” Ji Zhao, who was drying herbs in the courtyard, heard the commotion behind her and quickly turned around. She smiled and called out obediently, “What’s wrong?”
“Ah Tao, there’s something I need your help with.” Zhao Lanhua went straight to the point. “Can you take a look at your grandfather’s right hand?”
Tian Guangsheng used to be a chef in a big restaurant in the prefecture capital. Among them, he was best at pulling noodles.
However, one day, his right wrist suddenly lost strength. He had seen many doctors in the past, but they all said that his right hand suddenly became weak because he had overused it. If he still used his right hand too much, the worst outcome would be that his right hand would be completely crippled.
Therefore, after some deliberation, Tian Guangsheng brought the young Zhao Lanhua back to the Tian Family Village. Later on, he got to know Tian Xiu’e, a woman with a Buddha’s mouth but a snake’s heart. He even believed the lies that Tian Xiu’e made up and chased his biological daughter away. He even became a fool for more than 20 years and raised a child for others…
Tian Guangsheng felt that all the misfortunes in his life seemed to have started from the moment something happened to his right hand.
However, after so many years, he gradually accepted his fate.
“Lanhua, Ah Tao has just started learning medicine. Don’t make things difficult for her,” Tian Guangsheng said with a frown.
“Grandfather, Mother, let’s go back to the central room first?”
In fact, Ji Zhao had been looking for an opportunity to take a look at the injury on her grandfather’s wrist. It was just that she had not thought of a suitable excuse for the time being. Today was a coincidence.
“Ah Tao, don’t listen to your mother’s nonsense. My hand is an old illness. I’ve seen many doctors before, but there’s no improvement. You’ve only studied medicine for a short time. Don’t give yourself too much pressure,” Tian Guangsheng advised gently.
“Grandfather, don’t worry. Even if I can’t cure your wrist, I won’t be discouraged.” Ji Zhao understood his concerns and hurriedly said with a smile, “However, Master also said that experience is the best teacher. Without practice, it’s useless even if you memorize the medical books and prescriptions. ”
Hearing Ji Zhao’s words, Tian Guangsheng laughed heartily. “Alright, then I’ll be Ah Tao’s patient today.”
Zhao Lanhua silently gave her daughter-in-law a thumbs up.
Ji Zhao first took Tian Guangsheng’s pulse, then carefully examined his right wrist.
“Grandfather, can you open your palm?”
“Okay!’
Ji Zhao carefully looked at Tian Guangsheng’s slightly calloused palm. Her gaze landed on the bulging veins on his wrist.
“Does it hurt?” Ji Zhao used 20% of her strength and used her fingertips to press down on the place where the veins were bulging. However, there was no pain on Tian Guangsheng’s face.
“It doesn’t hurt.”
Ji Zhao frowned in confusion, and she exerted more force.
However, there was still no pain on his grandfather’s face.
“If I’m not wrong, this protrusion is the crux of Grandfather’s sudden weakness in his right hand.”
Ji Zhao hurriedly said, “Grandfather, Mother, wait for me for a while.”
She dashed out of the central room and went straight to her room. She went to the bookshelf and accurately found a medical book.
She flipped through the medical book and finally made some progress.
Sure enough, the reason why his maternal grandfather’s right hand was weak was because his Daling acupoint was blocked.
If one’s bloodline was not connected, one’s wrist would naturally lose strength.
However, the blockage of the Daling acupoint would definitely make one’s heart palpitate and stomach ache. However, Grandfather did not have such symptoms.
The more Ji Zhao thought about it, the stranger she felt it was.
She picked up the medical book and rushed in front of Immortal Crane.
After explaining the illness, she became even more puzzled. ‘Master, I can’t figure it out. Why?”
“If the patient doesn’t have any other symptoms as you said, then you have to think carefully about whether you took the pulse wrongly. Also, why are you so sure that that place must be the Daling acupoint?’ Immortal Crane took a sip of tea and smiled as he pointed out. “My good disciple, the most taboo thing for medical students is to have preconceived notions. Once you have preconceived notions, you will fall into a strange cycle.” “l understand.” Ji Zhao finally understood.
“Forget it, I’ll follow you!”
Fifteen minutes later, Immortal Crane retracted his hand that was examining the pulse, and his gaze became more and more solemn.
“Ah Tao, bring me my needle packet and prepare some boiling water.’
As a precaution, Immortal Crane quickly wrote down a prescription and handed it to Ji Zhao.
“Follow the prescription on it. Grab a set of herbs and mix with water, then bring to a boil.”
“Yes!’
An hour later, Immortal Crane opened the needle bag and took out a few silver needles that were as thin as a cow’s hair. He inserted them into a few acupuncture points on Tian Guangsheng’s right wrist. Then, he took out a small knife and carefully cut open the bump above the Daling acupuncture point on his wrist.
What surprised Tian Guangsheng was that even though his flesh had been cut open, he did not feel any pain..
