106: It's a family heirloom.
As soon as Guo Gang nodded, Qin Shou, fearing he would go back on his word, immediately rushed over, grabbed Feng Meimei's wrist, and, as if it were a serious matter, began to take her pulse.
Of course, Qin Shou couldn't possibly know how to take a pulse, as he knew nothing about medicine.
He was merely putting on an act, appearing to be diligently diagnosing, but in reality, he was using the posture of taking her pulse to secretly transfer true qi to Feng Meimei.
"Mm—! Mm mm—! Mm mm mm—!"
Qin Shou held Feng Meimei's pulse, like a charlatan, shaking his head, his brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, nodding all the while, continuously making "mm mm mm" sounds, putting on the air of an otherworldly master, as if he had already grasped Feng Meimei's condition through her pulse.
"Old Qin! I told you not to just keep 'mm'-ing! How is Meimei doing now?"
Guo Gang watched Qin Shou continuously "mm"-ing, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Uh—! This—! Uh—! That—!"
Qin Shou was stumped by Guo Gang's sudden question. He knew nothing about her condition; he was currently concentrating fully on transferring true qi to Feng Meimei and couldn't be interrupted.
For a moment, he could only stall for time with "Uh ah! Uh ah!" while his mind raced, trying to figure out how to cope.
"I say, Old Qin, why are you constantly 'uh uh uh'-ing? What the hell are you 'uh'-ing about?! Tell me, how is Meimei doing now?!"
Guo Gang might have been intimidated by Qin Shou just now, but now any clear-sighted person could see that Qin Shou knew nothing about medicine; he wasn't even a half-baked practitioner. His profound appearance earlier was completely faked.
While other charlatans might have been half-full, Qin Shou's bucket was broken at the bottom; not to mention half a bucket of water, there wasn't even a drop, and it was leaking.
Speaking of which, the two Little Nurses were initially intimidated by Qin Shou's skills, and coupled with his indeed handsome looks, both of them were a bit infatuated just now, which caused them to be momentarily stunned. Now that they had come to their senses, they immediately saw that Qin Shou was a typical charlatan!
If this dragged on, someone might die! One of the Little Nurses immediately whispered to the other beside her: "Xiao Lin, quickly go inform Dr. Chu, the attending physician, that someone is causing trouble here!"
"Mm, got it."
The female nurse named Xiao Lin nodded knowingly and jogged off to find the attending physician who had just performed surgery on Feng Meimei.
"Master, the true qi is sufficient, but she is an ordinary person, her meridians are blocked, and she cannot absorb it. You must quickly apply needles to her, use acupuncture to forcefully open her obstructed meridians, and then her life can be saved."
Qin Shou had been transferring true qi to Feng Meimei for a long time, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea; he saw no reaction from her. He was sweating profusely and at a loss when Ling'er's voice, like a lifesaver, rang in his mind.
However, Ling'er's words instantly made Qin Shou feel utterly tricked, and he cursed inwardly: "Damn it, you're intentionally setting me up! What the hell do I know about acupuncture, and where are my needles? Where would I get acupuncture needles?"
"Master, do not panic."
Ling'er saw through Qin Shou's thoughts and comforted him: "Since that ancient book of the ancient cultivator contains medical knowledge, it naturally has the tools for treating illnesses."
With that, Ling'er immediately conjured the image of a glittering golden ancient needle in Qin Shou's mind.
Qin Shou understood in his heart and immediately secretly chanted a spell. Sure enough, a set of golden ancient needles, wrapped in golden silk cloth, appeared in his hand.
The silk cloth felt delicate to the touch, and faintly, it even contained traces of spiritual energy, clearly indicating it was no ordinary item.
Guo Gang and Mary both witnessed this miraculous scene, and couldn't help but be stunned, looking at each other, wondering what was going on. Was he performing magic?
However, the two were already feeling uncertain, and seeing Qin Shou's "magic trick" skill, although they found it somewhat unbelievable, they suddenly felt a strange sense of anticipation, thinking that Qin Shou might actually be capable.
Qin Shou looked at the set of golden ancient needles in his hand, feeling utterly nervous and without any confidence.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I have the needles now, but these are things that have been in the storage ring for who knows how many tens of thousands of years! They're probably moldy and rusty by now!
Even if they're well-preserved and not rusty, these things are tens of thousands of years old. What if they carry bacteria and viruses from tens of thousands of years ago? And I'm supposed to just stick them into someone? And where? I don't know anything about medicine!"
"Master, page eleven of the medical book contains the acupoint methods for treating illnesses, healing injuries, and clearing meridians with true qi. Master, just open it."
Ling'er's voice rang out at the opportune moment, showing Qin Shou, who was in a dilemma, a clear path.
Although Qin Shou was hesitant internally, at this moment, he was already forced into action and couldn't back down. He could only bite the bullet and read the book on the spot. He fumbled to open the ancient book, hoping to find the content Ling'er mentioned.
"What the heck, Old Qin, why are you reading a book? You're not trying to learn on the fly, are you?"
Guo Gang saw Qin Shou suddenly start reading a book and felt even more uncertain. He suddenly regretted agreeing to let Qin Shou treat Feng Meimei.
"Uh—! That!"
Qin Shou was stunned for a moment, and his movements also paused.
Qin Shou cleared his throat twice to cover his embarrassment, then seriously spouted nonsense: "Nicknamed Guo Gang, you don't know this, but this book is a family heirloom passed down for many years. It records the ancient acupuncture methods left by the famous Han Dynasty physician Zhang Zhongjing, capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing severe injuries. I haven't used it for so many years, so I've forgotten some things, and I'm just looking through it."
"Damn it! Didn't you tell me your ancestors for three generations were all farmers? Where did you get an ancestral medical book?" Guo Gang felt his intelligence was being mercilessly trampled by Qin Shou at this moment.
"Were your ancestors before three generations all born from cracks in rocks? Couldn't it be a medical book left by my ancestors from the fourth or fifth generation?"
Qin Shou was sweating profusely at this moment and was too lazy to explain to Guo Gang, as it was impossible to explain, because he was truly spouting nonsense, so his tone was also a bit unfriendly.
"Even if it really was passed down by your ancestors, are you planning to learn on the spot and give her needles right now?"
"What do you mean 'learn on the spot'? I've already learned it, I just forgot!" Qin Shou broke out in a cold sweat, but still spoke stubbornly.
As he spoke, Qin Shou had already opened to page eleven.
However, when he saw the content on page eleven, Qin Shou's vision instantly went black, and he felt as if he had been hit over the head with a club, thinking: "Damn it! No diagrams? How the hell am I supposed to know where to stick the needles without diagrams?!"
The page was densely covered with ancient characters. Although Ling'er could translate, there were no accompanying diagrams. For someone who knew nothing about medicine, who knew where the translated acupoints were!
"Dr. Chu, this is the person causing trouble!"
At the same time, Little Nurse Xiao Lin had already arrived with Dr. Chu, Feng Meimei's attending physician.
