Chapter 97: Skills of Manual Treatment (3000 words, please subscribe)
Jiuchang Street, Lin Fusheng's bonesetter clinic.

The air was filled with the unique aroma of essential oils and the pungent smell of medicinal wine.

A comfortable humming sound came from the inner massage room.

"Master Lin, your craftsmanship is really good, ten times better than my old man's..."

Ma Dong Hyuk was lying on the back-scrubbing bed, his eyes half closed, enjoying the massage service.

The exposed back has broad muscles and ferocious tattoos.

There were old scars and new bruises on it.

Hearing this, Lin Fusheng shook his head and smiled:
"Teacher Ma is a famous martial arts master. A craftsman like me cannot compare with him."

Ma Dong Hyuk twitched his lips slightly but did not respond to this sentence.

Others may not know Master Lin’s background, but he knows it very well.

Lin Fusheng was an important leader of the Lianqing Gang, which was prosperous 17 years ago, and a gold medal thug.

Having been in the underworld for so long, he has countless enemies and has been involved in countless deaths.

Later he retired and opened a small clinic for bonesetters here, and has been safe and sound till now.

So, could such a guy be an ordinary craftsman?

Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden shouting from outside.

Looks like there's business again.

Soon, a young man lifted the curtain and walked in.

Ma Dong Hyuk looked up and was pleasantly surprised:

"Ah Cheng, are you here to see Master Lin for bone loosening massage as well?"

Fang Cheng took a closer look and smiled:

"I'm not looking for someone to loosen their bones, I'm here to help them loosen their bones."

Ma Dong Hyuk didn't understand what this meant, but when he saw the woman standing behind him, his eyes lit up:
"Who is this lady?"

"She is my neighbor who lives in the same building as me. She just moved in not long ago. Her name is Wen Huiyi and she wants to find a job here."

Fang Cheng gave a brief introduction and then looked at Lin Fusheng who was rubbing Ma Donghe's back.

"Master Lin, I have something to tell you."

Lin Fusheng raised his head when he heard this.

Seeing that Fang Cheng looked serious, he wiped his hands with a towel and followed him outside.

"Is such that……"

The two of them deliberately stood at the door of the clinic.

Fang Cheng told about Wen Huiyi's family background and did not hide the fact that she had a lot of fans.

Lin Fusheng listened silently, sighed, and finally nodded in agreement:
"Let her stay and give it a try, but my situation here is rather special, she may not be able to hold on."

Perhaps because the world has been a little unstable recently, the clinic's massage and bone-setting business is particularly good.

He always talks about hiring people, but he is unwilling to pay high salaries.

Unfortunately, this job requires technical skills, which makes it even more difficult to recruit qualified people.

As for Fang Cheng, the prospective apprentice, he only came every now and then and was of no help at all.

As he was speaking, two more yellow-haired men with bruised faces and noses came to seek medical treatment, supporting each other.

Lin Fusheng hurried forward to greet him and ask about his injuries.

Seeing that things were settled, Fang Cheng prepared to tell Wen Xin's mother the good news.

Lift the curtain and walk into the massage room.

However, Ma Dong Hyuk and Wen Hui Yi were looking at each other in confusion, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Seeing Fang Cheng coming back, Ma Dong Hyuk quickly took the initiative to explain:
"I got a minor injury yesterday, so I came to ask Master Lin for help."

Fang Cheng nodded, and then greeted with great concern:

“Dong Hyuk, Master Lin has guests outside to entertain, why don’t you let me give you a massage?”

"what?!"

Ma Dong Hyuk was stunned for a moment, then declined, "Forget it, I feel like my injury has almost recovered."

"Please rest assured, my skills were taught by Master Lin himself, and I am better than my master."

Despite Fang Cheng's boasting and promises, Ma Dong Hyuk kept shaking his head with an extremely firm attitude.

It’s not that he doesn’t give face.

The key point is that Fang Cheng's hand strength is terrifying. If he uses a little force, he might be able to break his bones.

"Let me do it. I have learned some massage techniques before."

A gentle voice sounded, and Wen Huiyi then walked to the sink, washed her hands, and applied essential oil very skillfully.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Ma Dong Hyuk said this shyly, but he lay down obediently as he was told.

Fang Cheng had no choice but to give up in disappointment. He couldn't force the customers to accept his service, right?
So he told Wen Huiyi about his successful hiring, encouraged her to work hard in the future, and then walked out of the massage room.

When we arrived at the lobby.

I saw Master Lin treating a gangster who seemed to have been hit by a club, causing half of his body to be paralyzed.

However, the method of treatment seems a bit strange.

I saw him rubbing, poking and pointing at several places on the patient's waist and back with his thumb, index finger and middle finger.

It looks like the legendary acupoint pressing technique is being performed.

The nearly paralyzed gangster's muscles twitched slightly, and he gradually began to react.

"Acupressure therapy?"

Fang Cheng's eyes immediately lit up and he stared at it intently.

I saw Master Lin use it once before, but I was busy practicing bone setting at that time and didn't observe it carefully.

Now that the skill bar is empty, Fang Cheng wants to learn some new skills.

I was especially inspired by the awakening of my language talent.

You can consider learning a few medical skills that do not require the use of instruments and equipment and can be performed with just your hands, thereby synthesizing a healing talent.

Since I don’t have anyone to practice “massage” on right now, it might be a good idea to learn “acupressure” first.

Seeing Fang Cheng asking for advice, Master Lin did not hide anything. He pressed acupuncture points on the patient and explained with examples.

The so-called "acupoint therapy" is actually not as magical as imagined. It is just a simple medical method similar to massage.

Its principle is similar to that of acupuncture. It is applied to appropriate acupuncture points on the patient's body surface, using fingers instead of needles to stimulate with different techniques such as tapping, pressing, pinching, poking, and pounding.

By working through the meridians, the body's Qi and blood flow smoothly, thereby restoring the body's functional activities that have been disrupted to normal.

The difference between massage and acupressure is that one acts on large muscles, skin and bones, while the other focuses on certain specific key points.

Fang Cheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

I don't really care whether "acupoint pressing" is as magical as the martial arts legends say.

Even the most ordinary skills will become unique after being upgraded to the maximum level.

According to Master Lin, if you want to learn this craft, in addition to mastering the techniques, the most important thing is to memorize the meridian lines of the human body and find the correct acupoints.

This is exactly the easiest thing for Fang Cheng.

He took a closer look at the human acupuncture point model standing nearby.

Basically, I have remembered most of the knowledge about the circulation of meridians and the distribution of acupoints.

As for the actual drill.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a new customer arriving, Fang Cheng immediately took over Master Lin's work and served the yellow-haired patient very enthusiastically.

While reciting the eight acupoint pressing methods, he pressed and rubbed the points vigorously according to the locations where Master Lin had pointed out before.

"Dot after dot is called dot, like a bird's peck."

"hiss--"

Perhaps because of the strong force of the hand, the yellow-haired patient actually felt a little pain.

Fang Cheng nodded slightly and continued to increase the strength of his fingertips.

"To press without moving is called pressing, and the force penetrates the acupoint."

"Oh--"

The yellow-haired patient couldn't help but let out a slightly sour groan.

Fang Cheng's eyes sparkled, and as he pointed, he understood something.

The most important thing about acupressure is the technique. If the technique is exquisite, the effect will be good.

With each tapping and kneading, not only does the technique become more and more skillful, but one can also gradually sense the faint flow or blockage of the breath in the patient's skin.

"To push and pluck is called pluck, and its use lies in the tendons."

Fang Cheng's eyes suddenly focused, and he inserted his index and middle fingers accurately, pressing the tendons connected to the acupuncture points.

The yellow-haired patient's paralyzed and stiff body moved reflexively as if he had been electrocuted.

"Alas!"

He was immediately surprised and praised:
"Brother, your skills are pretty good, not much worse than Master Lin's."

"you flatter me."

Fang Cheng smiled slightly and continued to perform acupoint therapy to increase his proficiency.

Suddenly, several flashing prompt messages appeared before my eyes.

[You practiced your skills, gained initial insights, and successfully mastered a medical skill]

[Unlocked skill: Acupoint pressing level 0 (0/100)]

Fang Cheng was not surprised that he could get started so quickly.

Because this is entirely due to the powerful perception and memory abilities brought by more than 30 points of mental attributes.

Perhaps, in the future, we can consider raising the importance of spiritual attributes to a position second only to physical fitness when adding points.

In this way, Fang Cheng stayed in the bonesetter's clinic, devoting himself to the work of saving lives and healing the wounded.

Not only did he successfully unlock the "acupressure" skill, but he also subsequently unlocked the "massage" skill as he wished.

After enjoying Wen Huiyi's massage service, Ma Donghe walked around in high spirits.

As if he had taken the wrong medicine, he even followed Fang Cheng's example and started doing voluntary odd jobs.

Until about three o'clock in the afternoon.

The number of patients gradually decreased, and the clinic became a little quieter.

Wen Huiyi has also begun to adapt to the environment, and her work attitude and ability seem to be pretty good at the moment.

Seeing this, Fang Cheng's eyes quickly swept over the gains from this volunteer work.

[Bone Correction Level 0 (33/100)]

[Acupoint pressing level 0 (12/100)]

【Massage level 0 (9/100)】

Then he stood up, said hello to Master Lin, and left.

"Ah Cheng, wait."

Ma Dong Hyuk followed closely and came out.

Then, he came close to Fang Cheng and whispered:
"I have been keeping those two guys in the secret base since last night. What are you going to do with them?"

He came to Jiuchang Street today on purpose. In addition to seeking Master Lin's massage to treat his injuries, he also wanted to ask Fang Cheng for his opinion on this matter.

Fang Cheng thought about it for a moment, then said:
"I'll go meet them and prepare to interrogate them myself."

"Go over now?"

Ma Dong Hyuk asked.

"Let's go to the supermarket first. Today is Sunday and there are discounts."

"Uh……"

Hearing Fang Cheng's answer, Ma Donghe was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Okay, I'll call Yingjun and ask him to drive over to pick us up."

"Use my number."

Fang Cheng took out his cell phone from his bag and handed it over.

The two men walked out of the bonesetter's clinic and slowly headed towards the street corner.

And not far away.

In a seemingly inconspicuous van parked in the corner of the street.
