I just got divorced, and a rich and beautiful woman dragged me to get a marriage certificate.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment; a mission had actually been triggered.

Perfect! It's a waste not to do a free mission!

Chen Mo dismounted and placed his hand on Xu Xin's wrist.

The pulse is slippery and rapid, and the radial pulse is deep and tight, which are typical signs of gallstones.

Chen Mo pressed on Xu Xin's back again, gently pressing on the Shenshu acupoint.

"hiss--"

Xu Xin gasped, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Chen Mo understood.

Several people stood in a circle around him, watching him examine the body.

Zhao Yu crossed his arms, a mocking expression on his face:

"Pretending to be a doctor! Acting like one!"

A girl with pigtails whispered, "Don't say that, she meant well!"

"kindness?"

Zhao Yu scoffed, "Good intentions justify looking around recklessly? Who's going to take responsibility if they find something wrong?"

Lin Qingyin turned and glanced at him: "Shut up!"

Zhao Yu remained silent, but the sarcasm on his face didn't diminish at all.

Chen Mo asked Xu Xin to lie on her side, pressed on several points on her back, and asked her a few questions.

A few minutes later.

"It's kidney stones!"

Chen Mo said, "I was jolted while riding the horse just now, and the kidney stone fell into my ureter and got stuck."

Lin Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief: "Kidney stones? That makes things easier. Let's take him to the hospital first!"

Although Xu Xin was in a lot of pain, she visibly relaxed when she heard that it was kidney stones.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that kidney stones are not a life-threatening disease, or even a disease at all.

"Kidney stones aren't a disease, but the pain can be excruciating!"

Chen Mo looked at Xu Xin and said, "This kind of pain is second only to childbirth. Let me help her relieve the pain first; that way she'll feel better!"

Lin Qingyin was taken aback: "Pain relief? How do you relieve pain? There are no painkillers here!"

Zhao Yu's mocking voice rang out again: "That's right, how are you going to stop the pain without painkillers?"

"Stop bragging, okay? The person is in so much pain, and you're still pretending!"

Chen Mo frowned slightly, somewhat displeased: "Can you shut up? You're annoying, you know that?"

Zhao Yu's expression changed: "What did you say?"

Chen Mo coldly replied, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't!"

"And your breath really stinks. Did you forget to brush your teeth before you left, or did you eat shit?"

"you……"

Zhao Yu was furious, his fists clenched, glaring at Chen Mo, his face ashen.

Lin Qingyin stepped in front of Chen Mo, coldly staring at Zhao Yu: "Shut up!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was cold and aloof, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Zhao Yu looked at Lin Qingyin, at the way she protected Chen Mo, and clenched his fists even tighter.

Lin Qingyin actually told him to shut up because of a man who appeared out of nowhere.

Zhao Yu was even more furious and consumed by jealousy.

"Fine! I'll shut up! I want to see how this pretty boy is going to treat Xu Xinzhi!"

Chen Mo ignored him, took out a black velvet pouch from his pocket, and unfolded it.

Neatly arranged rows of silver needles were inserted inside, gleaming with a cool light in the sunlight.

"Silver needles?"

"He's going to use acupuncture?"

"Acupuncture can relieve pain? Have you ever heard of it?"

"Never heard of it!"

"Isn't acupuncture for treating rheumatoid arthritis? Can it also treat kidney stones?"

"Is this reliable? Maybe we should just take her to the hospital."

Zhao Yu looked at Chen Mo, his eyes full of mockery. "Have you been watching too many TV dramas? You think you can cure diseases by sticking a few needles in? What's the point of Western medicine then?"

"Qingyin, where did you find such a lively character? You weren't tricked, were you?"

"Zhao Yu, I've put up with you for too long. Now I'm asking you to shut your filthy mouth right now!"

Lin Qingyin said coldly.

Zhao Yu's face stiffened: "Qingyin, you're saying this about me because of this guy?"

"What's so great about him? Why are you protecting him like this? We're just good friends!"

"He's my husband! And I brought him here today!"

Lin Qingyin's eyes were cold: "Your repeated mockery of him is a slap in my face!"

"Zhao Yu, our friendship ends here!"

"If you dare say that to him again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Zhao Yu was struck dumb, his face turning pale and then red, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The other young men and women watched this scene without saying a word.

Everyone could tell that Lin Qingyin was angry.

That makes sense!

No matter how despicable Chen Mo may be, he was brought about by Lin Qingyin.

Zhao Yu had been mocking and targeting Chen Mo, showing no respect for Lin Qingyin; it was no wonder she was furious.

Chen Mo acted as if he hadn't heard, and picked up the thinnest silver needle.

He reached out and pressed on Xu Xin's calf, about three finger-widths above the inside of her ankle.

Sanyinjiao!

This is the intersection of the Kidney Meridian, Liver Meridian, and Spleen Meridian, making it the primary acupoint for treating urinary system diseases.

Chen Mo picked up a silver needle, then quickly inserted it, the needle tip piercing the skin and slowly penetrating deeper.

The onlookers unconsciously held their breath.

The needle went in.

Chen Mo gently twisted his fingers and thrust them a few times.

"Can you feel anything?"

Xu Xin said, "It feels sour and bloated..."

Chen Mo picked up a second needle from the cloth bag, this time for the Taichong acupoint on the instep.

The third acupuncture point is Yinlingquan on the inner side of the knee.

The fourth acupuncture point is the Shenshu acupoint on the lower back.

Four needles were inserted.

Xu Xin's previously tense body gradually relaxed.

After a while, she suddenly took a breath.

"It seems...it really doesn't hurt as much anymore?"

Xu Xin's voice carried a hint of disbelief.

The people nearby looked at each other in shock.

"Really?"

"What does 'it doesn't hurt as much' mean? It doesn't hurt anymore?"

"Really? Just a few needle pricks and it won't hurt anymore?"

Chen Mo ignored them and continued pressing on Xu Xin's pulse: "Does it still hurt?"

Xu Xin carefully sensed it, then shook her head and said:

"It doesn't hurt anymore! There's still a slight soreness, but the excruciating pain is gone!"

She looked at Chen Mo, her eyes filled with gratitude:

"Thank you……"

Chen Mo waved his hand: "This is just temporary pain relief. The stones are still inside, and I'll have to go to the hospital to get them treated later."

"Drink more water and jump around more. Small ones can be expelled on their own. If they can't be expelled, you'll need to do extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy."

Traditional Chinese medicine can also treat kidney stones, but it is more complicated and far less convenient than extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

Or.

Kidney stones are not a disease in themselves; extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the fastest way to treat kidney stones.

So I might as well go to the hospital and get extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).

Xu Xin nodded vigorously.

The people around Chen Mo looked at him with completely different expressions.

He relieved Xu Xin's pain with just a few acupuncture needles; this guy is quite skilled.

Zhao Yu stood there, his face turning pale and then flushed.

He made sarcastic remarks, hoping to see Chen Mo make a fool of himself.

This guy is amazing; after a few needles, he didn't feel any pain anymore.

This is a slap in the face! No! His face is swollen from the slap!

Chen Mo put away the silver needles, stood up, and met Zhao Yu's gaze. The two stared at each other.

Chen Mo smiled, turned around and walked to Lin Qingyin's side.

He didn't say anything, but his smile was more piercing than any words, and Zhao Yu felt immense humiliation.
