Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 208 Different

Song Ying smiled brightly, "Auntie, come this way."

After leading the aunt to the inner room, Song Ying went out and brought in two candlesticks, then opened the leather and took out the silver needle.

While she was roasting the silver needles over the fire, she said, "Auntie, unbutton your clothes and expose your belly."

Now that the decision had been made, the sister-in-law was no longer nervous. Seeing that Song Ying was very familiar with the entire process, she gained more confidence.

She undressed and lay on the wooden board. "Girl, who is your master? I have known Doctor Ma for so many years, but I have never heard that he has any fellow apprentices."

"My master's surname is Lin, and she is Doctor Ma's senior sister."

Song Ying replied briefly, moved the candlestick closer, and looked at her abdomen carefully.

There is still a big difference between the real person and the acupuncture bronze man. Song Ying searched for a while before he determined the Qihai acupoint.

"It will be a little painful, please bear with it for a while." After giving the instructions, Song Ying inserted the needle without hesitation.

The aunt at the bun shop hissed, and Dr. Ma outside hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Wenxuan became even more nervous, his voice trembling: "Junior sister, did you pierce the wrong acupoint?"

"No, it just hurts a little."

Song Ying's calm voice came from inside the room. Doctor Ma breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Lin Wenxuan's pale face and said speechlessly, "It's not you who's doing the injection. Why are you so nervous?"

After that, he raised his voice to Song Ying inside: "If you are unsure about any acupuncture points, just ask. I'm just outside the door."

Song Ying buried his head in acupuncture and replied without raising his head: "Okay, uncle master."

Despite this, Doctor Ma and his apprentice outside the house were still worried. He knew that his senior sister had the Jiang family's bronze acupuncture man, which would help her practice acupuncture more efficiently.

But no matter how real the bronze man was, it was still different from a real person. This was Song Ying's first time giving acupuncture to a real person, so he had to be nervous.

Therefore, although Song Ying did not ask anything, Doctor Ma still gave him a few reminders from time to time, asking him to pay attention to his strength, not to be impatient, etc.

After about two quarters of an hour of agony, there was a rustling sound in the house, and then the curtain was lifted, and the aunt from the bun shop came out.

Doctor Ma asked hurriedly: "How is it?"

The aunt moved her waist left and right, and raised her legs: "You know what, my waist and legs are warm now, I feel much better."

Hearing this, Doctor Ma's heart finally settled down, and he said with a smile: "This is an old problem of yours. It's best to give it acupuncture for ten consecutive days and then stop for five days. You will feel much better in the future."

"Good!" The auntie really felt the effect and agreed without hesitation, praising: "You are really good, little girl. My waist and legs have been tormenting me for many years, and today I finally feel much more relaxed."

The first patient was successfully treated, and Song Ying was very happy. Although she appeared calm, she was actually very nervous. After all, it was her first time giving acupuncture to a real person.

But after piercing an acupuncture point and feeling the tightness of the needle as described in the book, she relaxed all at once. She followed the instructions she had memorized and performed them meticulously, and as expected, there was no problem.

The aunt paid the money, praised Song Ying a few words, and left with a smile.

Lin Wenxuan gave Song Ying a thumbs up and said, "That's amazing. You didn't make any mistakes the first time."

Song Ying suppressed his excitement and said, "I was a little nervous at first, but after I pierced the first acupuncture point and felt the heat, I relaxed. It was similar to practicing on the bronze man, but more realistic and more in line with what is written in the book."

"Is it really similar to the acupuncture bronze man?" Lin Wenxuan asked curiously.

"Yeah, don't you think so?" She stared at Lin Wenxuan, eager to discuss with him.

Lin Wenxuan scratched his head awkwardly: "I have never given acupuncture to a real person."

Song Ying was shocked: "No way? You have been studying medicine for a long time!"

As far as she could remember, she saw Lin Wenxuan dispensing medicine two years ago when Mrs. Li went to the clinic for treatment. It had been almost three years including this year. How come he had never given acupuncture to the real person?

"Go to other medical clinics and ask who dares to give acupuncture after learning for three years?"

"What do you mean?" Song Ying was puzzled. "Does it take many years to learn acupuncture?"

"The meridians and acupuncture points of the human body are extremely mysterious. If you make a mistake, your life will be in danger. Of course, you have to be careful! I heard that there was an old doctor in the next county who mis-pierced an acupuncture point on a patient's hand during acupuncture. The patient convulsed and then became paralyzed."

Song Ying's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. "So scary?!"

"That's not true. In the storybooks, there are stories about killing people with silver needles. Although they are fictitious, they are not groundless. Some acupuncture points can be fatal if they are inserted into the wrong place.

Therefore, acupuncture is usually only used by experienced doctors.”

"But Master said that I can give people acupuncture."

Song Ying frowned, very confused. She had never read any storybooks and seldom watched operas. She had only heard some stories from adults, but those stories did not involve medicine.

The most amazing doctor she knew was her own master, and her master had said personally that she could now give people acupuncture.

"My great-aunt's philosophy is different from other doctors." Lin Wenxuan pursed his lips and considered his words, "She is a maverick. Most doctors in the world start by memorizing books.

After memorizing "Huangdi Neijing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Shennong's Herbal Classic" and "Qianjin Yifang" one by one, you will have a systematic understanding of herbal treatments for various diseases, and then you can start learning to take the pulse and prescribe medicine.

As for acupuncture, you can learn it or not.

But my great aunt doesn't think so. She thinks the first step should be to learn acupuncture techniques, memorize acupuncture songs, know how to give acupuncture to the head, neck, back, etc. Once you have learned all of them, or even just part of them, you can go give acupuncture to patients.

Basically, once you learn how to prick the acupoints on the head, you can go and prick the acupoints on the patients' heads. As for why you need to prick these acupoints, that is the doctor's business.

After I got the hang of acupuncture, I started to memorize various medical books and learn medical knowledge, and finally I took the pulse and prescribed medicine. "

"Except for learning acupuncture in advance, there is no difference in other aspects. Other doctors can learn acupuncture or not, so there is nothing wrong with learning it first, right?" Song Ying subconsciously spoke to his master.

"But don't you think it's horrifying to memorize the acupuncture song and then give acupuncture to someone?" Lin Wenxuan stroked his chest. "How can I dare to give acupuncture to someone if I only know the acupuncture points but don't even know their functions? What if something goes wrong?"

Lin Wenxuan's heart trembled when he recalled the scene when his aunt asked him to give acupuncture to patients after he had memorized the acupuncture song.

Song Ying thought about it carefully and found that she really didn't know what effect those acupuncture points had on the human body. She became a little nervous and asked, "Do you know how many people Master has taught like this?"

"Two, when she was in the capital, Miss Qing also studied medicine with her aunt for a while, but after she memorized the acupuncture ballad, she didn't dare to give acupuncture to people, so she gave up. You are the only one who really practices it."
