Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

quickly,

After disinfecting the silver needles, Xia An moved with his will, inserting the needles one by one into Wei Shanghua's chest.

Seeing Xia An quickly insert the needles, Wei Ningbing and the other woman were both somewhat alarmed.

The fact that such a long silver needle pierced his chest, and Xia An's calm and composed expression alone, was enough to prove that this person was extraordinary.

At the very least, they are incredibly bold.

Who would dare to give acupuncture like this, especially to someone with a very special status?

That's the heart area; even experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors wouldn't dare do that.

But this person actually dared to do it!

Despite being mentally prepared, Wei Ningbing and her companion were still terrified.

But Xia An's acupuncture was so fast that they couldn't react in time.

Once two or three silver needles were inserted, it would be too late for them to speak up and stop it.

At this moment, they dared not make a sound, for fear of disturbing Xia An's acupuncture.

Less than three minutes

Xia An stopped inserting the acupuncture needles and, while taking Wei Shanghua's pulse, adjusted the needles.

Seeing this, Cao Ying asked timidly:

"Comrade Xia, how long does it take for this acupuncture to heal?"

"More than half an hour,"

Xia An casually replied, "Acupuncture mainly regulates the body's Qi and blood to help patients regulate their bodies."

"For the average person, half an hour is enough; any longer is actually not good."

"But in special circumstances, such as emergency care or serious illness,"

"In this case, the time can be extended or shortened slightly, depending on the patient's condition."

Cao Ying seemed to understand, but not quite. She was a Western medicine internal medicine student; how could she possibly know anything about traditional Chinese medicine?

She glanced at the composed Sun Qian and Sun Liang, then pulled Wei Ningbing to sit down.

Leaning closer, he whispered:

"Ningbing, putting everything else aside, I admire his courage alone."

Wei Ningbing nodded slightly, "High skill breeds boldness, and I suppose he is no exception."

The two chatted quietly for a few moments before continuing to watch Xia An perform acupuncture on Wei Shanghua.

Looking at Xia An's serious face, Cao Ying's heart skipped a beat again for some reason.

It's said that the most handsome men are those who are serious, let alone Xia An, who is already very handsome.

This time, her heart fluttered even faster than when they first met, causing her ears to flush red.

Wei Ningbing's eyes were deep and beautiful, reflecting Xia An's image.

I wonder what she's thinking.

After half an hour,

Xia An removed the needles. "This treatment is over. Get up and get dressed."

As he spoke, he began to disinfect the silver needles and place them in the silver needle box.

Wei Shanghua got up and dressed, feeling much lighter in his chest, and couldn't help but smile:

"Thank you, Brother Xia."

You're too kind.

Xia An waved his hand, then, as if remembering something, looked at Kong Xiuyuan and said:

"Yuan'er, that's all for today's lesson. You can go play if you want."

Kong Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback, glanced at Wei Ningbing and the others, and then nodded:

"Okay, teacher!"

After saying that, he opened the door and went out.

Whether it was just her imagination or not, Cao Ying felt that Wei Shanghua's complexion had improved considerably after the acupuncture treatment.

She was secretly surprised, thinking that perhaps she had made the right decision to come, if only...

Thinking about the purpose of her trip, she felt a surge of excitement.

But after thinking about it, I decided to suppress the impulse for now and wait and see.

Cao Ying glanced outside, her face showing curiosity, and took the initiative to start a conversation:

"Comrade Xia, those three little guys from earlier, could they be learning medicine from you?"

Xia An nodded slightly. "The seven people you just saw were all learning from me."

"Oh?"

Cao Ying looked surprised. "I heard that traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to learn. How well have they learned it?"

"well enough."

Xia An chuckled, "They can handle common colds and fevers, minor illnesses and aches, sprains and bruises, and bone setting all at the moment."

"It's barely enough for pulse diagnosis; it should be more than enough to be a barefoot doctor."

"Is it really that amazing?"

Cao Ying's eyes widened slightly.

If Xia An could truly handle all of these things, then barefoot doctors would be able to do much more.

Even in a county hospital, one can be a doctor's assistant, right?

The key question is, how old are those three children? Can they really master all this?

Xia An smiled without saying a word, his gaze falling on Luo Yunshu and the other two who had entered.

"Did Ling'er and the others go back?"

Luo Yunshu nodded. "Since you said you wouldn't be speaking today, Lingxiu led them away."

Xia An nodded slightly. "Yun Shu, please inform them that we have guests. Please prepare lunch for five more people."

"good,"

Luo Yunshu nodded, "I'll help out over there. Xia An, you can call me if you need anything."

Kong Qingci shook her head and said, "Lingyun and I are here, so you can go without worry."

Luo Yunshu blinked, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

At this time,

Cao Ying glanced at Xia An, then looked at Kong Qingci and the other person, her eyes flickering slightly.

Immediately, she looked at the stern-faced Kong Qingci and smiled, saying:

"Comrade, I heard from Comrade Xia that you have accomplished much in your studies. May I take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Qingci's expression turned strange, and she glanced at Xia An beside her.

"All my medical skills were taught to me by Xia, the educated youth. He's right here, why don't you go see him?"

"Besides, Xia Zhiqing didn't say he had mastered anything. We're still very inexperienced."

Cao Ying's pretty face flushed slightly, and she glanced at Xia An unconsciously, seemingly a little embarrassed.

She chuckled softly, "I'm just curious because Comrade Xia exaggerated what he said."

"After all, I heard that Comrade Xia has only been in Anping Village for a little over a month, so you haven't been learning from him for very long either."

Kong Qingci gave her a deep look, walked over, and a slight smile played on his lips.

"Why are you curious about this? Do you also want to learn medicine from Xia, the educated youth?"

Cao Ying's eyes brightened slightly. "If possible, I would indeed like to learn."

Upon hearing this, Kong Qingci glanced at Xia An and smiled meaningfully.

"Xia Zhiqing's medical skills are indeed very good, but I feel that if you stay with him for too long, you might easily get some inexplicable illnesses. You should think it over."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ying blinked, her peach blossom eyes seeming to radiate allure.

With that pure and pretty face, one can't help but feel a slight flutter in their heart.

She looked curious and said, "I don't believe it at all. What kind of disease could it be?"

"Or are you saying you don't want me to get close to him?"

Kong Qingci shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said meaningfully:

"I did warn you, whether you listen or not is up to you."

As she spoke, she chuckled to herself, wondering if lovesickness counted as a disease, or if she could voluntarily share a husband.

She never doubted her husband's charm; could she really get these diseases if she stayed with him for too long?

Didn't you see Xie Lingyun and Xie Lingxiu come together? Lingyun has already fallen for them, and Lingxiu is deeply in love?

She guessed that Lingxiu was also self-aware enough to think that Xia An wouldn't be interested in her.

Otherwise, he would have offered himself up long ago.

She had warned her that if this woman still insisted on coming over, she should just regret it later.

Cao Ying's eyes flashed with confusion, but she didn't think much of it and simply smiled:

"Thanks then. Now can you take a look and satisfy my curiosity?"

Kong Qingci nodded slightly, gesturing for her to extend her hand so he could begin taking her pulse...

After asking a few questions, she released her hand, shook her head slightly, and said:

"I have moderate gynecological problems, insufficient blood and qi, neurasthenia, and am somewhat weak."

"These are mostly caused by long-term irregular work and rest schedules. It is recommended to stay up less at night, get more rest, and pay attention to regular eating habits."

Cao Ying's beautiful eyes showed a slight surprise; of course she knew all this.

Dr. Zhang, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the county hospital, was seen by her just two days ago, and this was also Dr. Zhang's diagnosis.

How could this woman have discerned these problems in just that short time?

Is it really that amazing?

Cao Ying's eyes flickered slightly. "Excuse me, what kind of medicine should I be prescribed to treat my condition?"

Kong Qingci looked up at her, and uttered a sentence with a half-smile:

"I'm not a educated youth from Xia. You need to pay a consultation fee of two yuan to get a prescription from me."

Cao Ying's eyes widened slightly. "Aren't you still an apprentice? Why are your consultation fees so high?"

Kong Qingci smiled slightly, "The prescription I wrote needs to be confirmed by Xia Zhiqing before I give it to you, so the consultation fee will naturally be a bit higher."

Cao Ying's lips twitched slightly, but after thinking for a moment, she took out two yuan from her bag.

"Give,"

"I'd like to see if this prescription is truly worth the money."

Kong Qingci took the money, then picked up paper and pen and carefully wrote down a prescription.

"Xia, could you please take a look at this for me?"

Xia An took the document and glanced at it. "Judging from her condition, there's nothing wrong."

"If the third and seventh ingredients were replaced with 13 grams and 5 grams respectively, the effect would be even better."

Kong Qingci took it back and glanced at it, a look of realization flashing in her eyes.

"I misunderstood, thank you."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and made some corrections, then handed the prescription to Cao Ying.

"You can get the medicine at home, or you can get it here, but the price will be the same as what the health center sells it for."

Cao Ying didn't reply, but simply took the prescription and began to read it.

But as she looked, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This prescription is different from the one prescribed by Old Zhang in only two ingredients. Could it really work?

She hesitated for a moment, then smiled. "Can I take this prescription home to get the medicine?"

"Can."

Kong Qingci nodded. "But this prescription is based on your physical condition."

"We will not be responsible if anyone gets sick from eating this food."

"nature!"

Cao Ying smiled and nodded. Although she was a Western medicine doctor, she still understood this principle.

Moreover, she only intended to take it back to show Old Zhang, but had no intention of actually using it.

Put away the prescription.

Cao Ying looked at Xia An, her eyes filled with undisguised surprise, and exclaimed in admiration:

"I didn't expect Comrade Xia to be so skilled in medicine, and to be able to complete his apprenticeship in such a short time."

"Truly...a master of medicine!"

Xia An smiled slightly. How could he not know how skilled he was in medicine?

Seeing that he didn't reply, Cao Ying was about to say something more when she suddenly thought of something.

She looked surprised and asked, "Speaking of which, Xia Zhiqing didn't even show it to me just now, so how do you know this comrade's prescription is okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun's expression became slightly strange.

But before she could speak, Wei Shanghua smiled and explained with a respectful expression:

"Sister Cao Ying, don't even mention that Comrade Kong asked you a few questions,"

"Even without asking, Brother Xia could tell your illness just by looking at you."

Cao Ying looked surprised. "Is it really that amazing? Or are you kidding me?"

Why would I lie to you?

Wei Shanghua shook his head and smiled, his eyes filled with admiration, and chuckled:

"I've seen Brother Xia treat patients before, and he can usually diagnose the illness at a glance."

Cao Ying's expression changed. Judging from Wei Shanghua's demeanor, could it be true?
