Chapter 55 - 54 True Talent and Knowledge
"The silver needles are here!" Zhang Qishan returned quickly, handing the silver needles and the scraping tool to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen checked them over, confirmed there were no issues, and then retrieved the basin, saying he was going to perform a bloodletting treatment.
"Bloodletting?" Zhang Qishan frowned slightly and asked, "Didn’t you say not to undergo bloodletting treatment?"
Yang Chen shook his head, disinfecting the silver needles with alcohol while massaging Zhang Xingzhou’s leg to relieve the pressure.
He said, "The medical techniques of Flame Country are extensive and profound, and the things passed down are useful. However, being useful and being able to use them properly are two different things. Incompetent doctors harm people. They only know how to bleed patients without treating them. Over time, the blood vessels lack support, and as the vessels draw together, they might adhere and cause the leg to become useless!"
Zhang Qishan was shocked at his words.
Reflecting on it now, the old man would always complain about a numb leg lacking strength after each session. So that’s the reason!
"Damn quacks!" Zhang Qishan clenched his fists. Luckily, the old man was fine; if something had happened, Zhang Qishan wouldn’t have spared those people!
Seeing that the massage was almost done, Yang Chen said to Zhang Xingzhou, "Mr. Zhang, this will hurt a bit. Please bear with it."
"It’s fine!" Zhang Xingzhou said in a deep voice. "When I was young, I suffered all kinds of injuries and hardships. Just treat me boldly, I can handle it!"
Wei Qingzhong admired Zhang Xingzhou’s courage and perseverance while frowning slightly as he watched Yang Chen.
