In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Nagano Nao grabbed her waist and was about to take off the white tabi on her feet.

Nagano Kanako quickly said, "Yametie!"

"Why not? Wouldn't it be nice to take a shower together?"

"How can a man wash feet with a woman?"

"It's okay if I say yes!"

"Oh."

"..."

that's it.

The two of them seemed to be one person, sitting on chairs and soaking their feet.

Gradually, after getting used to it, Nagano Kanako couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart, and a sense of satisfaction and gratitude she had never felt before.

Straight man, you are so good to me!

With a playfulness she had never shown before, she gently stepped on the instep of Nagano Nao, but she felt that this was very childish, so she made an excuse and said, "These medicines are herbs that activate blood circulation. After massage and absorption, they can nourish the qi and body."

Nagano Nao enjoyed the soft warmth on his body and asked casually, "What's in the basin? It smells so good."

"It's mainly agarwood and safflower, and then there's actinolite, dodder seed, fennel, cinnamon, rehmannia, cnidium monnieri, and gorgon fruit."

It felt very strange to hear these things from a Japanese woman.

Nagano Nao was surprised and said, "Ms. Kanaiko actually knows all this?"

"I learned it a long time ago."

"What's the use of these?"

"This...that..."

Talking about this and that often means it is difficult to start talking.

Nagano Nao knew this. He was stunned and said, "It can't be for strengthening the kidneys!"

"Straight man, I'm sorry, it's not what you think! It's mainly because you've been working so hard recently, and your blood and qi are depleted after the injury. You've been working overtime for so long today, I'm worried that it's not good for your health."

"..."

Chapter 48: Such hard work is very harmful to the body

Deficiency of Qi and blood?

What a strange word!

If I just felt something was wrong before, now it's extremely awkward. The four words "deficiency of qi and blood" should never come out of Nagano Kanako's mouth.

"Is Miss Jianaizi talking about the theory of traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine?" Nagano Kanako was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, straight guy also knows Kampo medicine?"

Nagano Nao is also a fan of traditional Chinese medicine, but it seems very strange that a Japanese woman also seems to be a fan of traditional Chinese medicine.

He deliberately said in a bad mood: "Of course I know! How can you believe in such mysterious things? They are all lies. Even the Chinese people themselves don't believe them."

"Lying? How can a straight man say such a thing? Chinese herbal medicine is the most powerful medical art!!!"

Kanako Nagano has always been very docile. She usually speaks very little, just saying "hmm" or "ah" or apologizing, and she never knows what a rebuttal is.

At this moment, her fair face turned slightly red, and she clenched her fists tightly, looking stubborn.

Looking at the pair of angry eyes, Nagano Nao was stunned for a moment: "Ms. Kanaiko, have you been deceived? Look at me, I am full of energy every day, how can I have any loss of energy and blood!"

"That's not true. Humans are made up of blood and qi. Qi is yang, invisible and active, responsible for warmth; blood is yin, visible and quiet, responsible for nourishment.

When a man is eight years old, his kidney qi is strong, his hair grows and his teeth change.

At the age of 28, the kidney qi is strong, the heavenly essence arrives, the essence and qi overflow, the yin and yang are in harmony, so children can be conceived.

The kidney qi of the 38th generation is balanced, the tendons and bones are strong, so the real teeth grow to the maximum.

At 48, the bones and muscles are strong and plump.

At the age of 58, the kidney qi declines, hair falls out, and teeth become dry.

At the age of 68, the Yang Qi is exhausted from above, the face becomes burnt, and the hair turns white.

"..."

Throughout one's life, one needs to constantly prove one's own value.

When a person cannot create value, saving becomes the only value.

As a full-time housewife, Kanako Nagano feels that she is unable to create value and relies on men to live. She is humble and cautious deep in her heart.

The long-term servility wiped out her dignity and even her complete personality.

But she is still a human being after all.

Everyone instinctively wants to prove the value of their existence and prove that they are not useless.

For Kanako Nagano, if there is anything that can prove her worth, perhaps it is what she learned as a geisha apprentice.

Tea ceremony, medicine, and dance skills.

Although these things were learned only to please men, medicine can save lives and maintain health. I don't know when it became a belief.

With an unprecedented seriousness, Nagano Kanako spoke of the medical knowledge she had mastered. Her bright eyes were full of spirit, and her usually humble and timid face was suddenly filled with confidence.

It was the only thing she could be confident in.

This is also the only thing that can prove that she is not just a glutton.

Because she was sitting on Nagano's legs to soak her feet, Nagano Kanako didn't realize that the man behind her was already confused.

Am I a fake Chinese?

Why can I understand every word she says, but I don’t understand what she means?

and many more.

How come she speaks Chinese!!!

Is she the Chinese?

Am I a Japanese?

The extremely absurd reality brought incomprehensible shock.

Nagano Naoto actually forgot about the pinching with his hands, his mind was in a mess and dizziness.

I only heard Nagano Kanako say: "Everyone is born with innate Qi, which is transformed into blood and stored in the body, and Qi is the origin of life. Straight man, you lost so much blood before, your body just happened to be... and that... that..."

At this point, Nagano Kanako felt that it was really hard to say such words. She turned around and looked at the man behind her weakly: "I'm sorry, straight man, did I say something wrong?"

"How can you speak Chinese?!" Nagano Nao asked, suppressing his shock.

Nagano Kanako blinked and said, "I learned this from Mama-san before!"

"Mama-san?"

"When I was a child, my family was very poor, and my father sold me to Ginza..."

"..."

Kanako Nagano carefully recounted her past experiences.

Nagano Nao was stunned. He had never expected that such a developed country like Japan would have the phenomenon of human trafficking. He also had no idea that this woman was sold by her parents and then given to Nagano Jun'an as a gift.

Isn't Japan a fucking democratic society?

How outrageous!

"Aren't the entertainment shops in Ginza places of entertainment? How did you learn these things?"

Noticing Nagano's staring eyes, Nagano Kanako was afraid that he would think of something bad, so she quickly explained: "Ginza was not like it is now. At that time, the government wanted to build a traditional cultural center. If custom shops wanted to operate better, they had to learn the quintessence of Chinese culture. Moreover, those who went there were all big shots who paid great attention to culture and health. In addition to knowing dancing skills, they also had to learn tea ceremony and medicine."

"So I...I...was just there to learn skills, and I didn't...that...that..."

Custom shop, cultivating culture?

Also learning tea ceremony, dancing skills, and medicine?

Isn’t this as funny as taking the imperial examination in a brothel?

But Nagano Nao couldn't laugh at all. Capitalists are all pursuing profits, not to mention places like brothels that are closely related to the underworld.

The reason why so much effort is spent on training people is naturally to gain more benefits, and this benefit is to send people to big shots to establish relationships.

Great!

It's so fucking awesome.

Big men never lack women. If a woman is just pretty, she will become worthless when she grows old and loses her beauty.

But a woman who understands the tea ceremony, knows how to maintain her health, and can dance will definitely be quite favored under normal circumstances. Even if she cannot become a regular employee, she will definitely gain the gratitude of the big man.

Knowing how to do this kind of favor business, no wonder the Japanese underworld can remain so powerful.

With a feeling of pity, Nagano Nao pressed Kanako's feet under his own feet and said, "Kanako-chan is really amazing. You actually know such a thing. Why haven't I seen you use this kind of medicinal bath before?"

"Nagano-kun used to study in the United States. He, like you, a straight man, doesn't like Chinese herbal medicine!" Nagano Kanako said with her head down. In fact, Nagano-kun's rejection of Chinese herbal medicine is only one reason. The real reason is that she has never shown that she knows how to maintain health.

But Nagano Naoio was different. She could feel that Nagano Naoio treated her not only with physical obsession, but also with equality and respect.

Kanako Nagano didn't know how to describe that feeling. To be honest, ever since her relationship with this man changed, she felt that she was not a vassal, but a living person.

But these words could not be told to Nagano Nao, so Kanako Nagano quickly added: "But Kampo medicine is really a very powerful national treasure, Nao-chan, you must believe me."

"How could I not believe Jianaizi?" Nagano Nao's blood rushed to his head, his claws moving in an unpredictable manner, with a murderous and intimidating heat.

The usually obedient Nagano Kanako stopped this behavior for the first time: "No! Please, straight man, you really have to believe me. Mama-san told me that the real big shots all use Chinese herbal medicine to maintain their health."

"Although I don't understand the principle, and it doesn't seem to make sense. But just like that... Western medicine believes that the main ingredients are fructose and protein. Can life be born with just this?"

Nagano's brain was not working well anymore, and he said threateningly:

"Jia Nai Zi-chan doesn't like straight men loving you?"

"That's not true! Jianaizi likes it very much, and getting your Qi will make my body healthier. It's just...it's just that straight man, didn't you find that you will sweat a lot after that? Such hard work is very harmful to your body. That's all transformed by your innate Qi..."
