It was not finished yet. After his treatment was over, it was followed by Sang Guzi. His treatment method was also very unique—pricking the acupoints with a silver needle!

The role of acupuncture was also to dredge the channels and collaterals. Through this method, he could also determine the patient’s condition at the same time. It was somewhat similar to Wang Yao’s method of massaging, but it was not that accurate.

After he pricked the acupoints with a silver needle, the treatment process did not end. Wang Yao started to massage the acupoints to dredge the blood.

This was the treatment method that both of them came up with in the afternoon. There were two main purposes. The first one was to accelerate the absorption of drugs and enhance the effect of drugs. The other one was to stimulate the patient’s body, allowing them to speed up their recovery by self-repairing and self-regulation.

For those broken arteries and veins, they did not have a good method. However, Wang Yao suggested an idea about the possibility of restoring some parts by itself by stimulating the body.

The human body had a strong self-rectifying and self-healing ability. Even if some fractures and injuries were not dealt with, they would heal themselves.

However, the ability of self-rectifying and self-healing of the human body are the strongest during early childhood. They gradually weaken with age. At old age, which is the weakest point, the various functions of the human body begin to deteriorate. This was Zhou Wuyi’s condition. His body was already very weak. The ability of self-repairing was limited as well. However, before there was a better way, they could only give it a try. What if it worked?

Hence, they had their joint treatment this time.

A period of time had to be waited to be able to see the effect.

Their spirits were heavily depleted after a few treatments.

Wang Yao was slightly better. He was young and had superior quality. Moreover, he had trained his body, so this fatigue was nothing to him. However, Sang Guzi was worn-out. Firstly, he was old. When aged, the spirit would definitely worsen. Acupuncture treatment required a high level of concentration to determine the acupoints and inject the needle, especially at night; his entire person looked very tired after a few treatments.

“Sang Lao, I think you should rest earlier.”

“Okay. I can’t refuse to give in to old age,” Sang Guzi responded with a sigh.

After hearing this, the Zhou family hurriedly sent the elderly man to rest. Wang Yao, Zhou Ying and Zhou Xiong remained in the room.

After waiting for about half an hour, Wang Yao carefully diagnosed the pulse.

Sure enough, there was an effect.

“Someone has to stay here tonight. If there’s any problem, please let me know immediately,” Wang Yao did not forget to remind them before leaving.

“Alright.”

Nothing happened during the night.

In the morning, after washing up, Wang Yao went to the ward.

After diagnosing the pulse, he could be sure that the joint treatment by two people was effective, much better than his treatment alone.

Just when he went down to eat, Sang Guzi also came and diagnosed Zhou Wuyi’s pulse.

It was a good thing that the treatment was effective. The Zhou family was very pleased. However, the matter of Wang Yao leaving made them unable to feel happy.

“If Dr. Wang leaves, how should this treatment be carried out? Is it possible to depend on Sang Lao alone?”

“Or do you want to get Zhou Xiong to persuade him again?”

“Yes. No matter what the conditions are, we can promise.”

Inside a room in the Zhou family’s house, a few people of the Zhou family were discussing this matter. The person sitting in the top position was Zhou Xiong’s father, Zhou Wuxing.

“I want to make him stay too,” he began to speak after a short moment of silence.

“However, it was already a great kindness that he could come from a thousand miles away to treat Big Brother. We can’t make him stay by forcing him to do something against his will!”

This was his attitude, as well as his final decision.

The other family members still had opinions, but they did not speak again.

During the afternoon of the next day, Wang Yao called Zhou Xiong over.

“I’m going to teach you simple methods of massaging. Ask your father who’s going to learn it.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Xiong did not dare to delay and looked for his father in a hurry. Zhou Wuxing came over in person after hearing this.

Wang Yao had requirements. This method of massaging could not be circulated, not because of how precious it was, but because there was a certain degree of risk in it. If the arteries and veins were not understood and the acupoints could not be determined, there would be certain risks when this method was used without authorization. It was wrong to think that there was no risk in massaging.

“You brothers can learn it.”

In the end, it was decided that the brothers, Zhou Ying and Zhou Xiong would learn this method of massaging.

Wang Yao explained in great detail and demonstrated it live on the body of Zhou Wuyi.

Mr. Sang was also present. He knew that the implicit knowledge in this massage was broad and profound. However, he was not good at it. He just watched from aside and learned a few things.

These two brothers learned very carefully and listened very attentively.

Wang Yao picked a few important points to explain. After all, the condition of the patient was somewhat special. They might not be able to remember if he explained too much.

It was night time after the afternoon.

The purpose of explaining repeatedly was to deepen the impression.

In the afternoon, both him and Sang Guzi had a conversation. They basically determined the treatment plan of Zhou Wuyi after Wang Yao left.

The medicine left behind by Wang Yao was used.

The medicine was the blood deblocking powder and also the drugs to formulate the medicine used to consolidate the corporeity.

The method of massaging was taken care of by the Zhou brothers, while Sang Lao was asked to prick the acupoints with a silver needle. His hometown was in Cangzhou. He would not be going anywhere any time soon, so it was better to stay and continue the treatment. With his presence, it was similar to having an extra insurance.

“Do you remember the things I said?”

“We have more or less remembered.”

“Good. You’ll do it tomorrow and I’ll watch from the side.” Wang Yao replied.

“Okay.”

At night, Wang Yao stood in the courtyard, gazing at the quiet sky.

“I’ve been here for three days.”

Actually, he was not someone who liked to wander from place to place. He liked to be in his own home and liked to be on Nanshan Hill.

In such a place away from home, even if the other party looked after him well, he felt strange and unaccustomed.

This was the difference between home and foreign places.

Early morning the next day, after consuming the medicine, Zhou Ying first massaged according to the method Wang Yao explained, followed by Zhou Xiong. Wang Yao stood aside and raised several shortcomings. They did it again in the afternoon. In fact, according to his previous discussion with Sang Guzi, the process of the joint treatment did not have to be so frequent. Once a day was enough.

Both of them had basically mastered the method with a day’s practice. Wang Yao also taught this method to Sang Guzi. Although the old man was not good at massaging, but his determining of acupoints and the understanding of the arteries and veins were far better than Zhou Xiong and Zhou Ying.

Wang Yao left on the fifth day.

The Zhou family originally arranged for a car to send him directly back to Lianshan County, but he insisted on going back himself. The Zhou family had no choice but to send him to Tianjin airport.

He arrived at the airport in the morning, but his flight was in the afternoon so he had a few hours of free time. Staying at the airport was a bit boring, so he decided to take a spin outside.

When he reached the entrance of the airport, he was unexpectedly stopped by a monk.

The monk looked more than 60 years old. He wore a monk’s robe and had a benignant look. He stared at Wang Yao as if he saw a rare treasure.

“Amitabha. Lay Buddhist has good making and practice!”

“What do you mean, Master?” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

“Is almsgiver willing to enter Buddhism?” Wang Yao was taken aback by the monk’s words.

“Haha, I’m not willing to!” Wang Yao rejected directly.

“What a waste.” The monk shook his head.

“Please don’t waste your magical power, almsgiver.”

“Magical?” Hearing these two words, Wang Yao was once again stunned. He thought to himself, Would this great monk really have any skills to see my ability?

“If almsgiver enters Buddhism, you’ll become Protector Bodhisattva.”

“Protector Bodhisattva? I don’t have that ability,” Wang Yao replied while laughing.

“Almsgiver is modest. You could refine vital essence into energy at such a young age. Is it a Taoism method?”

“What are you talking about? It’s getting iffier.” Wang Yao did not want to get entangled with the monk in front of him.

“Amitabha. We’ll meet again if it’s fated.”

“Goodbye.”

Wang Yao got out of the airport. He took a spin nearby, but he found out that there was nothing much to visit around. He could only return to the airport’s waiting hall and wait patiently.

Finally, it was time to board the plane. After boarding the plane, Wang Yao only realized what was meant by the monk whom he met at the airport just now.
