It is usually necessary to wait 10 to 20 minutes before the needle is removed.

Most people don't know much, unless the person has had an acupuncture treatment.

What the old doctor didn't expect was that Zhang Yaoyang could actually see that his treatment was only half done.

Even his little apprentice didn't know about this.

"Little brother, have you learned any medical skills?"

After Zhang Yaoyang completely blocked the young man's mouth, he smiled embarrassedly.

"I haven't learned it systematically, but I know a little bit. I'm sorry to make you laugh, old man."

"Your knowledge is not simple. I find that you are also very knowledgeable about medicinal herbs."

"Well, to be honest, I'm a mountain herder by profession. When I have nothing to do, I go to the mountains to pick herbs. I pick a lot, so I naturally understand them."

Zhang Yaoyang also recited a long passage of medicine-seeking rhyme, which he learned from the barefoot doctor Wang Laoguan. Now all the villagers in Zhaojia Village have memorized it.

"Great! This phrase sums it up very well. It is indeed the crystallization of wisdom passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years. There are still many talented people in the countryside. What a pity, alas..."

Zhang Yaoyang was puzzled by the pity of the old miracle doctor.

When he was about to continue asking questions, the acupuncture time was up. The old doctor was busy taking out the needles and continuing the next treatment, so he was forced to interrupt.

It was painful when the needle was inserted, but when it was taken out, this guy felt very happy. His expression was a little intoxicated and his cheeks were red.

If you didn't know, you would think he was drunk.

This is better than having to twist and turn and look hideous all the time.

Zhang Yaoyang then watched the old doctor's treatment methods. Even Chen Ergou was fascinated by it, mainly because this treatment method was a bit strange, it actually used fire.

A kerosene lamp of strange color, when lit, emits a blue flame, giving people a very cold feeling, not hot.

A special plaster is then applied to the young man's affected area.

It was a little black and greasy. Zhang Yaoyang quietly analyzed the ingredients of the medicine and found that he had got the formula in no time.

However, it is impossible to tell how the medicine is made. Is it fried, steamed, boiled, dried in the sun, or all of the above?

This is the mysterious part of traditional Chinese medicine. If people can understand it at a glance, there is no need for the inheritance to be interrupted.

The young man was so scared that he almost peed himself. He had not expected that he would face the punishment of burning after just compromising once. His whole body was shaking like a sieve, his eyes were full of desire to survive, and he tried hard to convey the thought of "no" to Zhang Yaoyang.

"Why panic? This is the most powerful doctor in Chinatown. He knows how to use his skills. You will be fine."

Just as the young man was still shaking his head desperately, indicating that he didn't want to play anymore, he really regretted it this time.

No good person can withstand the fire, especially the fire in that place.

But obviously, the young man was too anxious too early. While he was still struggling, the old doctor had already blown out the oil lamp and said to Zhang Yaoyang, "Alright, let this little guy go. The treatment is over."

When Zhang Yaoyang untied the rope, he felt the bed sheet was wet. The young man was covered in cold sweat and his body was shaking constantly. It was obvious that he was very scared.

"I'm prescribing some medicine for you. When you go back, remember to boil it..."

At this point, the old doctor couldn't help but stop and ask, "Can you make medicine?"

The young man shook his head blankly: "What is boiling medicine?"

People who have never taken Chinese medicine naturally don’t understand these things.

This is a typical Western guy.

I know nothing about Chinese culture.

"In that case, you should come to the store on time to take the medicine. My little apprentice will help you make the medicine. Take it three times a day, and avoid eating greasy, meaty, or raw or cold food."

"The diet should be light, that is, fried chicken, hamburgers, pizza, French fries, etc. that you usually eat are best not to be eaten, and radishes, tea leaves, etc. are also not to be eaten."

"They mainly eat porridge, whole grains, and boiled vegetables. Do you know how to eat these?"

At this point, the confusion in the young man's eyes became even more profound, like a child who knows nothing about the world.

Even the young disciple couldn't bear to look at it, and covered his forehead with his hands, shaking his head and sighing.

If this situation is not treated properly, all the suffering just now will be in vain.

"If you don't have anything serious to do, you can stay in this clinic. I'll charge you 8 Canadian dollars per day for the service. My apprentice will take care of your food and medicine. You have to stay for about three days. After three days, you can leave normally on your own."

The old doctor's words made the young man's faith, which had been shaky, rise again.

"Old man, is what you said true? Three days, only 24 Canadian dollars, you can make me normal?"

"As long as you strictly follow the doctor's advice, you will recover naturally. Young man, be more careful when you see women in the future, and don't ruin your body. I can cure you once, but I can't cure you next time."

After the treatment, the old doctor felt extremely sleepy, but he still insisted on going to check on Lihua first.

It was only at this time that Chen Ergou remembered that he had left Lihua alone in the room for half an hour in order to watch the fun, which was a bit too much.

He quickly accompanied the old doctor, and on the way the two of them chattered about the patient's condition, which was quite lively.

As for the young man, Zhang Yaoyang helped him into the little apprentice's room and asked the two of them to squeeze together.

There are only two wards in this clinic, one is given to Lihua and her husband, and the other is for Zhang Yaoyang to stay and accompany Chen Ergou, so naturally the young people will not have a turn.

Fortunately, the young man didn’t think there was any problem. Instead, he felt that it was much more convenient to have a young apprentice to take care of him.

It is difficult for him to walk now, and he still needs someone to be with him when he needs to go to the toilet or do anything else.

I originally wanted to escape as soon as the treatment was over, but as long as I thought that everything would be fine if I could survive three days, I was trapped here again.

Just as he lay down and was half asleep, he saw that his young disciple had already boiled a bowl of medicine. He waited until it was warm before waking him up and he got up to drink the medicine.

"Master said that drinking the medicine at night is the best for your body's recovery. Drink it now while it's still early and have a good sleep."

The young man did not understand the bitterness of Chinese medicine and thought it was just ordinary sweet water. He picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

It was only after taking this sip that I realized how bitter it was. His entire face was extremely interesting, changing into seven or eight different expressions in just five seconds.

The young disciple laughed in his heart but pretended nothing had happened and hurriedly urged him.

"Don't be scared, it's just some medicine. Master said that good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. You have to learn to adapt to it. Drink it now!"

"I……"
