26: Bloodletting

In the live stream, the top supporter's gifts were already pouring in.

"I'm just watching a doctor, but why do I feel like I'm watching a movie?"

"It's terrifying; in front of Old Chinese Medicine Doctor, there's truly no privacy at all!"

"Is this the price of seeking treatment from a divine doctor? How tragic, truly tragic!"

Although Liao Fei's expression was unsightly, Qin Jiang still adhered to the principle of speaking frankly, elaborating on the disadvantages of weighted squats.

At this moment, Liao Fei was already disheartened.

Let him be, he was tired.

As long as his illness could be cured, that was all that mattered.

One minute later, Qin Jiang finally finished explaining all the precautions with great difficulty, then pointed to the QR code on the table.

"You just need to scan another six hundred yuan."

Liao Fei quickly scanned and paid six hundred yuan, then showed a relieved expression.

He had already scanned and paid, so it should be over now, right?

Ding!

[Detected that the host spoke frankly to the patient, revealing his hidden illness, which greatly helped the patient; mission complete]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Bloodletting Technique]

Seeing the reward the system gave him, Qin Jiang was momentarily stunned.

He hadn't expected it to be the Bloodletting Technique.

Bloodletting is indeed a very common therapy; not only do Chinese doctors use this therapy, but many Western Medicine doctors also use it.

Especially in cases of sprains and bruises, bloodletting can achieve very good results.

For example, whenever a person bumps or falls, there will be bruises inside their body.

These bruises are called 'evil blood' in Chinese medicine; they are bad blood, necrotic blood.

From the perspective of Western Medicine, these blood clots can be left alone, and once the surrounding capillaries repair themselves, they can carry away these stagnant blood clots.

But if a Chinese doctor were to treat it, they might just directly perform bloodletting.

After all, the longer this bad blood stays in the body, the greater the damage it causes to the body.

Qin Jiang picked up a small knife and a disposable paper cup, and carrying a stool, came before Liao Fei.

Seeing Qin Jiang holding a knife, Liao Fei immediately panicked.

"Dr. Qin, does my illness require surgery?"

He knew that when Qin Jiang treated his dragon bone just now, he hadn't used a knife.

Qin Jiang handed the disposable paper cup to Liu Fang.

"I'm going to perform bloodletting on him. Later, you'll use this paper cup to catch it. It's best not to spill it everywhere, or I'll have to clean up."

Qin Jiang spoke very calmly when he said this, but to others, it sounded as if he was about to butcher a pig.

Following Qin Jiang's instructions, Liu Fang squatted beside him, holding the paper cup.

Then Qin Jiang suddenly poked forward with the small knife and quickly withdrew it.

Liao Fei originally thought it would be very painful, but who knew that Qin Jiang's poke was so quick he didn't even realize it was over.

A small cut appeared on his knee, and then black blood slowly seeped out from within.

Fans in the live stream were amazed by Qin Jiang's technique, considering him divine.

"Dr. Qin's knife work is excellent; it looks very professional."

"What the—I just blinked, and the bloodletting was already over?"

"Even that guy's body didn't react; he was stunned for two seconds before the blood started to flow out."

"With this speed and Dr. Qin's professional knowledge, could he be a peerless assassin hidden in the city?"

Watching the black blood gush from his knee, Liao Fei not only felt no fear but instead a sense of relief.

It was as if he himself knew that what was being expelled at this moment was something bad.

Soon, the disposable paper cup was more than half full, and no more black blood slowly came out of Liao Fei's wound.

Liao Fei said with a smile, "Dr. Qin, is my knee cured?"

Qin Jiang took a few more disposable paper cups from the table and placed them aside.

"It's not that easy. To completely cure your knee problem, all the black blood in your body must be drained."

Qin Jiang first handed Liao Fei a cup of warm water, then dropped a pill into the water.

The pill dissolved instantly in the water, quickly turning a jujube red color.

"Drink this water, don't leave any."

Liao Fei hummed in acknowledgment and obediently drank the water.

It was at this moment that Qin Jiang peeled off the dog skin plaster from Liao Fei's knee and threw it directly into the trash can.

As soon as the dog skin plaster was torn off, the area where it had been applied could be seen to be white and swollen.

It was as if skin had been soaked in water for too long, appearing this way.

This time, Qin Jiang did not immediately open the wound for bloodletting, but instead scraped the surface of the knee with the knife, then it seemed to catch on something.

Before Liao Fei could react, Qin Jiang twisted his wrist, and a silver needle was directly picked out from Liao Fei's knee!

Seeing this silver needle, Liao Fei was dumbfounded.

"This... where did this needle come from?"

Liao Fei never expected there to be a silver needle hidden under the dog skin plaster.

Qin Jiang said calmly, "This was left by the Old Chinese Medicine Doctor who treated you before."

"He originally intended to continuously stimulate the Acupuncture points around your knee through Acupuncture, accelerating blood flow, so that your knee inflammation would subside faster."

"Although this treatment method is not bad, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and these silver needles were left in your body and not removed, which is why your knee has been subtly aching."

Only then did Liao Fei remember that the Old Chinese Medicine Doctor had told him to return for regular check-ups.

However, because of the matter of growing a dragon bone, he had forgotten.

After removing the four silver needles, each the length of an index finger, and placing them in a tray, Liao Fei couldn't help but gasp.

No wonder his knee hurt every time he went up and down stairs or ran.

With four needles this long stuck in his knee, how could it not hurt?

After all the silver needles were removed from Liao Fei's body, Qin Jiang picked up the small knife and slowly made an incision on Liao Fei's knee.

Only this time, what flowed out from the wound was not black stagnant blood, but yellow pus!

Watching the pus, which looked like cream, flow out of his knee, both Liao Fei and Liu Fang's expressions changed.

No wonder Qin Jiang said that if his knee wasn't treated soon, it would become necrotic; there was already pus, and it looked too frightening.

Liu Fang collected a full three cups of this pus, and Liao Fei's face was somewhat pale from excessive blood loss.

Qin Jiang casually tossed the surgical knife into the nearby trash can, then used gauze to bandage Liao Fei's wound.

"Alright, remember my previous instructions: don't shower for the next few days, don't do strenuous exercise, and the wound should heal in about a week."

Liao Fei and Liu Fang quickly thanked Qin Jiang and, supporting each other, left the medical hall.

No sooner had the two left than Qin Jiang had no time to sit down and catch his breath.

A family of three, coughing, walked towards Qin Jiang.

"Doctor, please help my daughter. What exactly is wrong with her?"

Qin Jiang looked closely: the girl standing in the middle had a flushed face and difficulty breathing.
