Although it was a little inappropriate, the old man was the president of the association.
Besides, he had already been seated in the corner as soon as he came in. They couldn’t bear to drive him away.
Since he wouldn’t disturb the examinee, they could only let it be.
The examination continued.
Before the seventh patient came in, He Tiancheng said, “Fang Qiu, the skill of the Earth-replenishing Field is not just about writing a prescription. You can use acupuncture on the next patient.”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.
He knew that Li Dongyuan did extensive research on acupuncture.
Just as he finished speaking, a little boy came in.
Seeing the little boy, Fang Qiu was stunned and instantly asked, “Hi, there, are you alone? No adults come with you?”
The little boy pointed outside and then walked to the consultation desk, saying, “My mother is waiting for me outside. Uncle, is it you that help me with the illness?”
Fang Qiu said with a smile, “Yes. I’m the one who’s helping you with your illness.”
The little boy smiled happily, “Okay, thank you, Uncle.”
Fang Qiu asked, “Can you tell uncle first, what ails you?”
“I wet the bed,” the little boy said shyly.
“Patter patter.” At this time, a sound of footsteps was heard. A young woman with a slightly taller figure ran in and said with an embarrassed face, “I’m sorry, I just needed to answer the phone call, so I let my son come in first.”
Fang Qiu smiled kindly and said, “It’s fine. Well, tell me, what’s wrong with the child?”
The woman looked at the child dotingly with a bitter smile on her face and said, “I can’t tell, either. My son is now nine years old. He has been wetting the bed for more than five years. We’ve seen many doctors and taken medicine, but none of them can cure him.”
Upon hearing that, Fang Qiu used the Four Methods to Diagnose a Disease and then said, “The child’s disease was caused by the deficiency of bladder’s Qi. Let me use acupuncture on him.”
The woman was a little worried. “My son is afraid of pain.”
“Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt.” Fang Qiu got up with a smile and took a box of silver needles from the medicine cabinet next to him.
Seeing the silver needles, the little boy suddenly feared and flinched a little.
“It’s okay. I won’t use much strength, so it won’t hurt.”
Fang Qiu comforted him and said, “You are a little man. Men are not afraid of injection, right?”
“Yes.” The little boy nodded hesitantly.
“Okay,” Fang Qiu said as he selected the needles. “Please take this little man to the toilet, and then clear his urine before coming over. I’ll get things ready.”
“Okay.” The woman nodded and took the child to the bathroom.
After that, Fang Qiu found a bed for acupuncture in the clinic and got ready.
After a short while, the woman came back with her child.
Fang Qiu asked the little boy to lie down on the bed, and the woman sat beside the bed to comfort him.
Fang Qiu picked up the needle No. 30 that was about 2-3 inches and gently stabbed it into the boy’s Zhongji point. When he did so, he deliberately let the tip of the needle stab down by about 2-2.5 inches.
Fang Qiu looked at the little boy with a smile. “Little man, tell me how do you feel now?”
At this time, the little boy’s mother was holding the little boy’s chin with her arms, so that the little boy could not see the situation of acupuncture.
The little boy replied, “It’s a little sore, numb, and a bit swollen.”
As Fang Qiu heard that, he smiled slightly and said, “Don’t be afraid. It’ll be all right after a short while.”
Then Fang Qiu immediately made a move and stimulated the point 3-4 times before stopping to hold the needle.
10 minutes later, he took out the needle.
“That’s all right.” Fang Qiu held the little boy up and said, “Am I right? It doesn’t hurt at all.”
The little boy nodded in surprise and said, “Yes, it really doesn’t hurt at all. I like this uncle to give me an injection.”
Fang Qiu smiled.
Seeing Fang Qiu’s acupuncture technique, the five doctors of brightness were all satisfied.
Zhong Yiyang then asked, “Good job. According to this method, how long will the child recover?”
Fang Qiu hesitated. “Err…”
As they saw that Fang Qiu was hesitant, the examiners were stunned.
“No way! Is Fang Qiu, who hasn’t made any mistakes before, going to lose his score at this point?” They thought to themselves.
Meanwhile, the president, who was sitting in the corner and watching, was also stunned.
He was thinking, “No way! He made a mistake as soon as I came in!”
Liu Ye frowned. “What’s the matter?”
Fang Qiu asked, “I don’t quite understand. Do you mean that he can cure with the help of Qi or without it?”
The moment he spoke, everyone was astonished at once.
It turned out that Fang Qiu was hesitating about this.
However, they didn’t understand Qi at all!
How were they supposed to score him?
Zhong Yiyang asked, “How long does it take without the help of Qi?”
Fang Qiu answered, “If I don’t use Qi, he should be cured after ten times of acupuncture.”
Liu Ye added, “What about using Qi?”
“He’ll be cured after using acupuncture one time,” Fang Qu replied.
Upon hearing that, all the people present were shocked.
Could he be cured through acupuncture one time with the help of Qi?
Liu Ye continued to ask, “Did you use Qi just now?”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Yes, I did. This is my patient. I can’t just give him up after this treatment. Since I have the chance, I have to treat the child once for all.”
In the corner, the president of the Chinese Medicine Association immediately applauded and said, “Great! Well said, well done. We can also see the effect of Qi. As for the patient’s condition, you don’t have to worry about it at all. We will visit him and have a follow-up study on him in the next six months.”
Fang Qiu nodded. “Okay.”
Then the consultation continued.
Although they had stopped discussing, they were still amazed by the powerful effect of Qi.
After all, they had been working as doctors of Chinese Medicine for decades.
They were quite clear about the curative treatment and the principle of acupuncture.
Therefore, no one thought that acupuncture could be so powerful with the help of Qi. The disease which could only be cured by ten times of acupuncture now could completely be cured within one time.
This was simply too powerful.
If someone else said so, they would definitely think that he was talking nonsense.
But since it was Fang Qiu who said that, they had to admit it because Fang Qiu was the one who proved the existence of Qi and made the whole world acknowledge Qi.
In the corner, the president looked at Fang Qiu with eyes glistening with delight, as if he had seen hope.
After that, Fang Qiu continued to treat patients.
The president was still sitting in the corner and staring at Fang Qiu. He didn’t make a sound, just like a sculpture.
After a while, only then did the president truly realize that not only was Fang Qiu extremely proficient at seeing patients, but he also performed very decisively in taking medicine and using needles.
Moreover, the five doctors of brightness didn’t have any objections after they saw Fang Qiu’s prescription.
Therefore, the president couldn’t help carrying the stool quietly to the side of the five examiners. He also took a look at many prescriptions given by Fang Qiu and even personally diagnosed the patient a few times out of curiosity.
It turned out that Fang Qiu really didn’t make a mistake at all.
This made him even more shocked, and his eyes on Fang Qiu became more hopeful.
Soon, it was 12 o’clock in the afternoon. Fang Qiu just finished seeing ten patients.
The president looked at the time and said, “It’s almost time. Let’s take a break. We’ll have a one-hour break for lunch and rest and then we’ll start the examination at 1 o’clock in the afternoon.”
After he finished speaking, everyone got up.
Fang Qiu stood up and bowed to the five doctors of brightness and the president. Then he was led by the young man who had been guarding the back door to have a meal and rest.
In the clinic, the five doctors of brightness and the president stayed.
“This kid is so incredible.”
As soon as Fang Qiu left, Zhong Yiyang couldn’t help but exclaim, “He’s even more outstanding than Xu Miaolin.”
Liu Ye also smiled wryly. “Yeah, he didn’t do anything wrong this whole morning, just like a machine.”
The president also couldn’t help but praise Fang Qiu. “Alas… We must admit the inevitable; that the young would replace the old. No fame came without merit.”
Even He Tiancheng, who had been very quiet all the time, couldn’t help but praise him. “This kid is really awesome.”
After chatting for a while, the five of them went to the backyard for dinner under the president’s instruction.
After all, the five of them were specially invited by the Chinese Medicine Association for this examination. How could the president not entertain them in person?
In the afternoon, the consultation continued.
The five doctors of brightness and the president were still sitting where they were watching Fang Qiu.
After an hour of rest, Fang Qiu’s diagnosis was still as fast and accurate as before.
He didn’t make any mistakes. Until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, he finally finished seeing all the 25 patients.
After seeing the last patient, Fang Qiu heaved a sigh of relief.
He felt much more relaxed in an instant.
However, compared with Fang Qiu, the five doctors of brightness were not as relieved as he was. On the contrary, they were all very depressed.
The examination had come to an end, but they didn’t have a sense of accomplishment at all, and they couldn’t even point out any mistakes of Fang Qiu.
As examiners, they didn’t even have a chance to show off, which made the five of them very depressed.
If they gave it some thought, they would find that this was probably the most awkward assessment they had ever come across in their entire lives.
Zhong Yiyang announced, “Well, the examination is over.”
“It’s finally over. Oh, my weak waist.” The president also stood up. Compared with the depression of the five doctors of brightness, he was a little excited.
The president said, “A week later, we will inform you of the result of this assessment.”
Fang Qiu nodded and then bowed, saying, “Okay. Thank you, seniors. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
Then he was about to leave.
But at this moment, the president suddenly stopped Fang Qiu. “Wait.”
Fang Qiu turned around and asked, “Hmm? What’s wrong?”
The president smiled and asked, “I don’t know if I can ask you to do me a favor. Can I?”
The moment he spoke, not only Fang Qiu but also the five doctors of brightness were confused.
He was the president of the Chinese Medicine Association.
Even he had to ask for Fang Qiu’s help?
What the hell was going on here?
Seeing that everyone was confused, the president continued to say, “Here’s the thing. I have a niece who gave birth to a child. But the baby turned out to suffer from child cerebral palsy. Doctors of Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine have tried all kinds of methods, but they didn’t work. Today I saw you use Qi on the acupuncture while you were treating the little boy, so I want to ask you for help and also treat my niece’s child with Qi. Maybe it will work.”
As they heard that, everyone was clear.
Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate at all. He nodded in agreement and said, “Okay. Please arrange the time. I can do it at any time.”
The president said directly, “Then, let’s do it now.”
Fang Qiu was stunned at first, then he nodded and asked, “Okay. Shall we go now?”
Zhong Yiyang said, “I’ll go with you, too.”
As a result, the other four doctors of brightness also requested to go with them.
They all wanted to see if Qi was really so powerful.
