Chapter 198: Is Jiaojiao Still A Genius?
The whole family went to the hospital.
Those with injuries were treated, and after examination, Granny Yun indeed had a strained back.
The doctor recommended they find an old Chinese medicine doctor at a clinic not far from the hospital to help with a massage.
In front of them, several other people were queuing to see the old Chinese medicine doctor for treatment.
Yun Jiao was curious, so she ran to the front and quietly watched the old Chinese medicine doctor treat someone with a dislocated arm.
Yun Xiaowu and the others also darted in. They didn’t make a sound, so the doctor there just glanced at them and ignored them.
However, Yun Xiaowu and the others quickly lost interest and ran outside again.
Yun Jiao stayed to continue watching.
She heard the old man with the white beard continuously asking some questions to distract the person, and then, while the person wasn’t paying attention, he used a clever move to make a cracking sound.
The person with the dislocated arm felt a brief pain, and before he could even react, the old Chinese medicine doctor told him it was done.
“For this arm, try not to exert yourself too much during this time.”
The person tried it and found it was indeed better, immediately showing a big smile.
“Thank you, Doctor. Do I need to take any medicine?”
The old Chinese medicine doctor waved his hand: “No need for medicine.”
After the person left, the old Chinese medicine doctor glanced at the little girl who had been spectating nearby for quite a while.
He had noticed this child when she arrived.
After all, such an exquisite and good-looking child, like a carved jade doll, was not common.
“You want to see a doctor? Your physical foundation is excellent, what do you need to see a doctor for?”
Yun Jiao’s eyes widened slightly: “You can tell just by looking?”
The old man stroked his beard and nodded: “Chinese medicine relies on observing, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse. The knowledge involved is vast.”
She didn’t understand, but it sounded very amazing.
Yun Jiao shook her head: “I’m not here for myself. My grandmother strained her back and is here for treatment. They are still queuing over there.”
The old Chinese medicine doctor looked in the direction she pointed: “There aren’t many people left, wait your turn.”
Yun Jiao nodded and continued watching him treat other patients.
The old Chinese medicine doctor promptly had a stool brought over for her to sit on.
He thought to himself that this quiet child was quite likable, and more importantly, she was beautiful. Sitting in the medical hall, she looked like a lucky charm, and even patients who came by would glance at her a few times.
Yun Jiao sat upright on the small stool, resting her chin on her hands, her eyes diligently staring at the old Chinese medicine doctor.
Seeing him insert fine silver needles into the patient’s skin, her eyes widened round, and her mouth slightly parted.
Doesn’t it hurt?
The child’s expression was too easy to read and quite amusing.
Although the old Chinese medicine doctor was needling the patient, he occasionally noticed Yun Jiao.
He saw that every time he inserted a needle, the little girl’s expression contorted, as if the needle had been inserted into her.
He looked at the little girl with a smile in his eyes.
“There are principles to acupuncture as well. The human body has about 361 acupoints. Needling acupoints for treatment, once skilled, can be painless except for certain specific acupoints. Believe it or not, look at his expression.”
Yun Jiao leaned forward to look. The person had needles inserted and dared not move carelessly. However, when Yun Jiao looked over, he saw her too and bared his teeth, showing her a smile.
Yun Jiao: Fine, it seems it really doesn’t hurt. He’s smiling quite happily.
Yun Jiao had a look of “how magical.”
The old Chinese medicine doctor laughed heartily twice and, without paying her further attention, focused on needling the patient.
After the needling was finished and the needles were removed, Yun Jiao moved closer.
“Such thin needles, and they’re soft too.”
Being able to insert such thin and soft needles into a person’s skin.
Yun Jiao tilted her head slightly, looking at the old Chinese medicine doctor, and praised with a very serious expression: “Grandpa, you are amazing.”
The key point was that the person who had been needled, whose wrist had been sprained and had a large swelling, had significantly reduced swelling after the needling. Moreover, he said it didn’t hurt as much anymore.
The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled again: “The way of Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. I still have much to learn.”
The old Chinese medicine doctor was fast at treating patients. When there were many, he couldn’t manage alone, so for minor ailments, he let his apprentice handle them.
Sometimes, when encountering certain conditions, he would explain to his apprentice while treating the patient.
Yun Jiao listened attentively from the side.
Soon, it was Granny Yun’s turn.
Logically speaking, her strained back wasn’t a very serious ailment, but the old Chinese medicine doctor, for Yun Jiao’s sake, personally helped her with massage and acupoint manipulation.
He also explained to Yun Jiao on the side: “This is the Weizhong acupoint, and the Yaotong acupoint. Massaging and stimulating these two acupoints can be combined with slow waist movements. This is the Shenshu acupoint, which can relieve waist pain…”
“Massage primarily focuses on massaging the meridians and acupoints…”
After a session of massage and acupoint manipulation, Granny Yun’s condition had significantly improved.
The old Chinese medicine doctor even added a set of acupuncture treatments for relieving stiff shoulders and necks, as well as for gouty arthritis in old legs.
“You live by the seaside, don’t you? The seaside has heavy dampness, and frequently consuming seafood leads to gout problems common among people there.”
Yun Jiao nodded like a pecking chick.
Her Grandpa and Grandma, and even her Father and Mother, had this condition. Grandpa and Grandma were the most severe.
The sea snake medicinal wine they steeped was mainly to alleviate the problem of gout.
“Grandpa Xu, can you also take a look at my Grandpa?”
Granny Yun’s leg had needles inserted, and Yun Jiao looked at the old Chinese medicine doctor with bright, sparkling eyes.
That’s right, she already knew the old Chinese medicine doctor’s name.
Xu Ruihe, a renowned local Chinese medicine doctor, many people sought him out by reputation.
“Alright, today this old man and you, little darling, have a connection. Bring your Grandpa over then.”
Yun Jiao immediately thanked him sweetly with a sweet mouth and then happily ran off to fetch her Grandpa.
While Old Master Xu was needling Grandpa Yun, Yun Jiao asked Granny Yun how she felt, if it hurt, and other questions.
Granny Yun: “When the needles were first inserted, there was a sharp stinging sensation in a few places, but now it doesn’t hurt. However, my leg feels warm.”
This warmth made her leg feel very comfortable.
It’s truly magical. Just by inserting such small needles into the body, there were such miraculous effects.
Yun Jiao quietly snuggled up to Old Master Xu again.
Seeing her come over, Old Master Xu, this small person who watched intently and listened intently, felt a playful urge.
“You’ve been watching for so long, let Grandpa Xu test you. What is this acupoint I’m needling now called?”
Yun Jiao answered without hesitation: “Zusanli.”
Old Master Xu was surprised. She actually answered correctly?!
He pointed to another acupoint: “And this one?”
“Sanyinjiao.”
Old Master Xu: !!!
No way, has he encountered a little genius?
“This one.”
“Taichong acupoint.”
“This place is an Ashi acupoint.”
Before Old Master Xu could ask again, Yun Jiao had accurately located another acupoint.
Old Master Xu’s eyes began to shine as he looked at Yun Jiao. And behind Old Master Xu, the students who had been spectating: !!!
They looked in disbelief at the three-headed little dot.
No, it’s enough that you remembered it, but you even found it?!
This isn’t right. How old is this child!
Grandpa Yun also went from initial confusion to excitement.
Huh? No, looking at this situation, isn’t their Jiao Jiao also a genius?
