“If insomnia is a severe issue, target the temple and the three pressure points on the skull.
“Acupuncture aims to alleviate diarrhea, administered once daily.”
Qin Zhenzhen spoke swiftly, mirrored by the doctor’s quick comprehension. The clinic’s medical practitioners were well-versed in the acupuncture points she referred to, requiring minimal explanation from her, given their familiarity with the intended effects.
As the doctor transcribed her instructions, he offered his admiration. The Jiang family’s medical expertise in the capital had indeed earned its esteemed reputation.
“The third method involves massage. The patient should sit in a specific position, while the doctor stands behind them, grasping the patient’s forehead with one hand and supporting it with the other. Begin the motion from the front hairline and move towards the nape of the neck, repeating this action three to five times…
“Afterward, you can apply a moist and warm medicinal treatment to the patient’s head.”
Noticing that all the clinic’s doctors had diligently recorded her instructions, Qin Zhenzhen issued a final reminder, “The patient must remain calm throughout the treatment process. Rushing the procedure will not yield the desired results; it must be carried out meticulously step by step.”
With that, she turned and departed. The doctor courteously escorted her to the guest room.
“Thank you, Miss Qin. Your guidance on these supplementary treatment methods has greatly enriched our knowledge!”
“In addition, might you consider selling us some of the finished pills you used just now?”
Qin Zhenzhen declined with a polite smile, saying, “The cost of these pills is rather high, containing relatively rare herbs. The price may not align with your budget, and I have limited stock available.”
The doctor appeared somewhat sheepish, recognizing that the price might be prohibitive for the local medical center’s patients.
Qin Zhenzhen firmly declined his request.
“In that case, let’s forget about it,” he conceded.
In the clinic’s guest room, Su Bin and Su Ping patiently awaited Qin Zhenzhen. They were already aware of her heroic act in saving Qian Erhu.
“Thank you, sister-in-law,” Qian Erhu expressed his gratitude, feeling a significant weight lifted from his shoulders after being rescued.
Su Bin glanced at Ms. Lin and the others present, suggesting, “Second Brother, you should head home first. Zhenzhen and I will return to the Qin family.”
Their planned trip to the prefecture capital would need to be rescheduled, now set for tomorrow. Su Bin needed to inform Qin Silong to spare him the anguish of waiting at home.
In the afternoon, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin arrived back at the Qian Family Village. Along the way, they overheard villagers engaged in discussions that fell silent as they approached.
Qin Zhenzhen chose not to inquire further and proceeded home with Su Bin. It was only after speaking with Su Lan and the others that they learned the topic of the villagers’ conversations.
Su Ning filled them in on the initial discussions: “Su Bin’s wife truly possesses remarkable medical skills. I heard she used a miraculous pill to bring Qian Erhu back from the brink of death.
“That’s correct! I heard the same thing. Su Bin’s wife is incredibly compassionate. Despite Ms. Lin and others having wronged them in so many ways, she still went out of her way to save them.”
Subsequently, the villagers delved into speculations: “That life-reviving pill must be quite costly. The doctor even expressed interest in obtaining some to sell, but Su Bin’s wife mentioned concerns about the price being too steep for them.”
“Speaking of which, did Ms. Lin actually cover the expenses for such an expensive pill?”
“Absolutely not! ”
“Ms. Lin also mentioned that the individuals who nearly harmed Qian Erhu were actively seeking him. They used to be his associates, so it’s largely his doing.”
“It’s entirely fair to say that Su Bin’s wife came to Qian Erhu’s rescue. To be honest, not only a single pill, but even a whole bottle wouldn’t be too much.”
Then, with a concerned tone, Su Ning added, “After Second Brother accompanied you to town, he didn’t return home. Someone reported seeing him heading towards the county city. I’m worried about where he might have gone.”
Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen exchanged glances, their irritation evident. After all, they had instructed Second Brother to head home first. Yet, it seemed he had disregarded their advice and went elsewhere without leaving any communication.
Could he have gotten entangled with those individuals again?
