337: The treatment

The treatment

Hearing that there was a secret to share, the old man's eyes lit up.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll keep it a secret. I definitely won't say anything!"

"That's because I have a photographic memory! I won't forget anything that I've seen," Qin Yan said.

The old master, "…!!!"

"So, when my master taught me acupuncture, I memorized everything he taught me, as well as the 57000 acupuncture techniques recorded in the ancient books. In ancient times, we used acupuncture to treat patients and save lives in our country. Later, with the spread of surgeries from western medicine, acupuncture gradually declined. However, acupuncture in our country is the same as traditional Chinese medicine. They are actually very extensive."

The old master, "…!!!"

He was shocked speechless.

"5… 57000 types of acupuncture? There are so many of them?"

"Yeah. Every technique, the combination of every acupuncture point, the depth of each needle, and the method of acupuncture can treat different areas, different illnesses, and achieve different effects. I can remember the position of every acupuncture technique and the depth of each needle. Then, I utilize them fully. This is why I'm so good at acupuncture."

The old master was thoroughly impressed by Qin Yan. He immediately wanted to invite those old friends of his out to show off Qin Yan.

Of course, as for the promise he made with Qin Yan that he would not tell anyone about her photographic memory, he had already forgotten all about it.

Photographic memory! That was a condition that only geniuses could have.

Meanwhile, not only was his granddaughter-in-law beautiful and kind, but she was also a genius.

He could not wait to see how those old things would react in jealousy.

After a while, the old master asked, "Yan Yan, it feels so comfortable when you insert this needle in. How long can it last every time?"

Even though it was only his first try, the old master had already fallen in love with this feeling. If he could, he would sleep through the night with this needle inserted.

Even though his legs were still on the sofa, the old master could feel the blood circulating in his body. It felt like he would be able to jump after he got off the sofa.

"20 minutes."

"…" So short.

Within 10 minutes, Qin Yan walked into the study and took out a set of small fire cups that she had bought today.

After disinfecting it with alcohol, she placed each fire cup on different parts of the old master's legs.

The old master had seen these miniature fire cups before, but what happened next shocked him.

That was because once these small fire cups were placed on his skin, his skin started to turn red at a visible rate, and in the end…

"I'm bleeding."

This was the first time in his life that he could lose so much blood by fire cups.

"Yes," Qin Yan nodded, "Grandpa, don't worry. This is perfectly normal. Look at the purplish-red blood that is leaning toward looking black. They all died of necrosis in your legs. They are congested blood that has stopped participating in blood circulation a long time ago."

"The blood clots that were stored in your body before would cause pressure on your blood vessels. Even though there was no increase in the number of blood clots, the blood vessels would automatically contract in the cold weather of winter. Coupled with the applied pressure, blood would not be able to flow normally, resulting in such a serious case of varicose veins."

"Therefore, as long as you get rid of this blood, clean up the congested blood attached to the blood vessels, and use acupuncture to clear the blood circulation, your leg will immediately turn at least 10 years younger."

After hearing what Qin Yan said, the old master felt like he could understand this problem rather easily now. Moreover, she made a lot of sense!

"Then… Why can't those professors from the best hospitals in the country do anything to my leg?"

Qin Yan, "…!"

It was true that although the man who was once on the top had aged, he was still very intelligent and would not be easily intimidated.

However, this question was nothing to Qin Yan. Since she had already managed to convince many people before, the old master would not be an exception.

"That's because they don't know how to use acupuncture! For someone like you with varicose veins, Grandpa, you have to undergo a clinical surgery to clear this blood. These things will be likely to relapse. If you go through so much trouble to get the operation done, but it relapses shortly after you've recovered, wouldn't that be a waste? So, the doctors probably think that you're too old for surgery and decide that it's better to give you a conservative treatment."

The old master quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, that's what the professors said. They said that my illness might relapse even after surgery."

"Uh-huh," Qin Yan nodded, "But I didn't use the surgical method…"

"I used acupuncture, and according to my master, this is a long-lost acupuncture technique. These needles can force the blood vessels to contract. Through the ceaseless contraction of the blood vessels, the congested blood that adheres to the walls of the blood vessels will loosen. Then, with the fire cups in place, the blood will flow out through the pores."

The old master was utterly stunned by Qin Yan's explanation.

"Then, based on what you're saying… Once the congested blood attached to the blood vessels is removed, there won't be any congested blood attached to my blood vessels anymore?"

"Yes, as long as it's cleaned up, there won't be any adhesions. However, from the looks of it, Grandpa, you have a lot of adhesions on your blood vessels. You can't remove all of them at once. Furthermore, you can't go through fire cupping every day. So, if you want to cure your illness completely, it will take a year or so."

The old master felt that his body was working fine, but his legs were not convenient at all. When he heard that his legs could heal completely within half a year to a year, he was especially happy.

"Alright, alright, alright. When Grandpa's leg recovers, you and Xi Ting can go ahead and work. Grandpa will take care of your children at home. Hahahaha…"

The old master felt the last stage of his life had just begun ever since he had a granddaughter-in-law.

Seeing that the old master was constantly talking about the little buns that Qin Yan would give birth to, Qin Yan thought that she should help increase the Xi family's population as soon as possible.

As it was taking too long, Old Lady Xi couldn't help but feel anxious. She waited for a while but even then Qin Yan had not come out with Old Master Xi.

Worried, Old Lady Xi knocked on the door and entered the room so as to check on the situation. As soon as she entered, she he saw Old Master Xi with a bloody leg.

"Husband, what happened to you?"

Old Lady Xi hurriedly rushed over. When she saw the blood on Old Master Xi's legs, she had an impending sense of doom.

"Tell me, what's wrong? Where's Yan Yan?"

"Grandma, why are you here?"

Qin Yan came out with a basin of water and saw Old Lady Xi's pale face.

Just as she was about to explain, the old master spoke.

"Why are you so rash? You asked me first question, and before I could answer, you asked me second one. What do you want me to answer?"

Old Lady Xi was relieved when she saw the old master's snobbish expression. He did not look like he was in pain.

Qin Yan knew that Old Lady Xi cared a lot about the old master's health, so she quickly explained.

"I just pulled out the fire cups for Grandpa and removed some of the congested blood that was stuck in his veins and arteries. However, there is still congested blood inside, and it won't be finished in two or three tries. I'll apply fire cups on Grandpa once a week."

Qin Yan spoke as she placed the basin of water on the ground.

This water was specially boiled and then brought to the pool to cool for a long time. After removing the fire cups, the pores would be greatly dilated. Therefore, the requirement for water quality was especially high.

Qin Yan used a handkerchief to wipe the blood off the old master's leg before saying to him with a smile, "Grandpa, stand up and take a walk."

The old master hurriedly stretched his legs out to step onto the floor.2

Earlier, he had felt the swelling on his legs was eased. When he walked, he no longer felt like his calves were about to explode.

The old master stood up easily. Under Old Lady Xi's beaming gaze, the old master walked around the room. Eventually, the old man walked straight out the door.
