The Mad Guardian

"Grandma, Grandma, what's wrong with you, Grandma?"

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Aunt, what's happening to you?"

"Auntie..."

The Qiu Family rushed over and surrounded Chang Lan.

Looking at Chang Lan, her eyes were tightly shut, her face as pale as paper, her right hand clutching her chest, her breath faint.

"Grandma, Grandma is in critical condition! Doctor, call the doctor quickly!"

Qiushi reached out to check Chang Lan's breath and was shocked, hurriedly shouting.

"I'm here, I'm here, I'm a doctor!"

At this moment, Li Ming pushed through the crowd and came to Chang Lan's side.

"Yes, Li Ming is a doctor, let him take a look!" Qiu Hongyu also shouted.

Li Ming reached out to feel Chang Lan's pulse, and after a brief moment, his expression turned serious.

"Is this an old problem for Grandma?" Li Ming suddenly asked.

Qiu Deming quickly nodded.

Everyone couldn't help but admire; it seemed Li Ming really had some skill.

Qiu Deming hurriedly asked, "How is the elderly lady? Are you confident you can save her?"

Li Ming smiled slightly, nodding with a touch of pride, saying, "Uncle, rest assured. Though Grandma's condition is dangerous, I've fortunately come across her, and I can treat this ailment!"

"You can treat this ailment? Are you sure?"

Qiu Deming still had some doubts.

For just as Li Ming said, this was an old ailment for Chang Lan, notoriously dangerous, and every occurrence required urgent hospital treatment.

Li Ming patted his chest, still confident, saying, "Uncle, rest assured. If I'm not mistaken, sending Grandma to the hospital could only stabilize her condition. Am I right?"

Qiu Deming's expression showed surprise; evidently, Li Ming was correct.

Li Ming continued, arrogantly saying, "Perhaps not everyone knows, but while studying in the Capital City, I apprenticed under Elder Qi. So, while I dare not say I can completely cure Grandma, treating her is not a problem eight or nine times out of ten."

"Elder Qi? Are you referring to National Medical Saint Qi Guoyuan?" Qiu Deming asked in astonishment.

"Yes!" Li Ming replied proudly.

"My goodness, Elder Qi is a National Medical Saint, a renowned doctor treating the nation's leaders!"

The Qiu Family was quite shocked upon hearing this and their view of Li Ming immediately changed.

Qiu Deming was overjoyed and grasped Li Ming's hand eagerly, saying, "Then quickly treat the elderly lady!"

"Okay, I'll start now!"

Li Ming said without delay, quickly taking out a needle box.

Being a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, carrying silver needles was his habit.

Li Ming instructed the Qiu Family to turn Chang Lan over to lie on the bed, then removed her clothing to expose her back.

Then, Li Ming picked up silver needles and swiftly applied them to Chang Lan's back, his actions skilled, displaying a masterful demeanor.

"Huh? Tai Chi Needle!"

Jiang Chuan watched Li Ming's acupuncture technique, feeling astonished.

With Chang Lan suddenly collapsing, Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu couldn't leave; they hurriedly gathered around.

No matter what, Chang Lan was a senior relative in the Qiu Family, so Qiu Qianyu couldn't ignore this and leave.

"You recognize Tai Chi Needle too?"

Li Ming gave Jiang Chuan a surprised look, finding it surprising he could name the technique.

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and didn't explain much, simply saying, "I saw it in a medical book once."

Li Ming dismissed Jiang Chuan with contempt, continuing his acupuncture.

He thought Jiang Chuan understood Tai Chi Needle, but it turned out he had only seen it before.

Although upon reflection, it made sense; a farmer couldn't comprehend such an intricate acupuncture technique. It was simply impossible.

Qiu Deming saw Qiu Qianyu hadn't left and angrily glared at her, shouting, "You have the audacity to stay here. If anything happens to Grandma, the Qiu Family won't let you go."
