I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 59: Master Cong practices medicine

How could Sister Lin do so much for me?
Jia Cong frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly thought of an answer.

Perhaps, Lin Daiyu did this because I studied medicine because of my mother’s illness?
Lin Daiyu lost her mother at a young age, and perhaps she felt sympathy for her own kind, which is why she tried her best to help herself.

But if I do this, I will owe that person a huge favor.

The beauty’s kindness is so great that I have no way to repay her!

When someone does you a favor, you should repay them with a spring.

I will just do my best to protect her from now on.

Next, Jia Cong began to read the medical book patiently.

[Medical Experience +1]

[Medical Experience +1]

Soon, Jia Cong was immersed in medical books.

I don’t know how long it took, but he had finished reading the medical book.

[Medical Skills (Minor Achievement): 5/500]

This made Jia Cong overjoyed. He didn't expect that after finishing reading this medical book, his medical skills would be improved to a small level.

His current level can probably barely reach the level of a practicing doctor, right?

But for now, it’s still a little bit behind.

When his liver has fully matured, he can personally treat Aunt Mei if she gets sick or needs treatment again.

Well, based on his current progress, it probably won’t take more than a few months.

However, there is a difficulty here, that is, there may not be so many medical books to give him liver experience.

Books are already very expensive, and medical books are probably even more expensive than ordinary books.

Sister Lin might not have that much money to help him buy medical books.

Furthermore, it would have been fine if he had been completely unaware of the situation, but now that he knew about it, it would be inappropriate for him to continue asking Sister Lin to pay for medical books out of her own pocket.

Now we can only take it one step at a time.

During dinner, Jia Cong saw Cai'er standing behind Aunt Mei, covering her cheeks with her hands from time to time, with tears in her eyes.

Looking closely, her cheek on that side was slightly swollen.

Jia Cong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking, "Cai'er, do you have a toothache?"

Cai Er nodded and said vaguely: "Yes, Third Master, I have been in pain all afternoon. I, I dare not open my mouth, it hurts so much when I feel the wind, hiss!"

Toothache is not a disease, but it can be fatal!

Jia Cong's eyes lit up, because he saw that Cai'er's toothache was caused by excessive internal heat.

This kind of toothache can be treated with acupuncture.

Improving medical skills does not necessarily rely solely on reading medical books.

Healing people can also improve your medical skills.

Therefore, when he saw a patient, how could he let him go?

Thinking of this, Jia Cong immediately said, "Cai'er, I know acupuncture. I'll give you a few needles and you won't feel any pain soon."

Jia Cong has been reading medical books recently. Aunt Mei and Cai'er both know about it. Aunt Mei even advised Jia Cong.

However, after several attempts to persuade him, and seeing that Jia Cong was making rapid progress in his studies and not neglecting his schoolwork, Aunt Mei had no choice but to give up.

But reading a few medical books does not mean that you can treat patients or perform acupuncture for them.

Cai Er quickly shook her head and said, "Third Master, it's not necessary. I don't feel that much pain now."

Are you scared?
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Cai'er, don't worry. How could the Third Master lie to you?"

"Besides, even if the needle is not good, it won't hurt any more. Why don't you try it and you will know?"

Hongxiu also said, "Cai'er, Third Master Cong is really good at treating illnesses! Last time I had a stomachache, it was Third Master Cong who treated me!"

"I didn't need to take any medicine. Master Cong just told me to soak my feet in hot water, cover my stomach with a hot water bottle, and eat some ginger sugar paste. My stomachache went away!"

"Cai'er, please let the Third Master take a look at you. It will be fine soon! Can I really lie to you?"

After Hongxiu finished speaking, Jia Cong couldn't help but look at her.

At the critical moment, this girl gave me a great assist. It's not in vain that I love her. After listening to Hongxiu's words, Cai'er hesitated for a long time before reluctantly saying, "Well, then, Third Master, let's try it."

Seeing Cai'er agreed, Jia Cong quickly ordered: "Hongxiu, go get the silver needles, I will treat Cai'er."

Hong Xiu said helplessly: "Third Master, where did you get the silver needle?"

oh?
There's none?
Well, indeed, he didn’t have any. He had never studied medicine before, so why would he buy silver needles?
I was so excited that I forgot about it.

But the absence of silver needles could not stop his desire to practice medicine!

Jia Cong didn't even eat his meal. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Cai'er, "Cai'er, I'm going to go out and buy some silver needles. Wait for me. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out in a hurry.

Aunt Mei couldn't help but shook her head, looking helpless.

Cai'er was extremely scared at this time.

Mr. Cong Sanye even has to buy the silver needles on the spot. Does he really know acupuncture?

He, he, he won’t hurt himself in a while, right?

Cai'er was so frightened that she was trembling with fear and even wanted to escape from the Jia Mansion.

At this moment she was so scared that she forgot about the toothache.

A quarter of an hour later, Jia Cong came back panting with a pack of silver needles.

The clinic is not close to the back door of the Jia Mansion, and the fact that he rushed back so quickly shows how urgent his situation is.

Jia Cong calmed down his breath, walked to Cai'er and said, "Come, Cai'er, turn your face to the side, I will give you acupuncture."

Cai'er nervously closed her eyes, held her breath, and turned her face to the side.

Her body was stiff, her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, she was extremely scared.

Jia Cong took out a silver needle, disinfected it, and began to give acupuncture according to the experience he had learned from medical books.

"Ow!"

After Jia Cong inserted the needle, blood spurted out of Cai'er's cheek and she screamed loudly, shaking the earth.

Everyone in the room was startled and the atmosphere became very awkward.

Cai Er's tears flowed down her cheeks. She sobbed, "Third Master, why don't we just forget about it? In fact, there's no need for acupuncture. It will heal if we just endure it for a while."

Jia Cong was extremely embarrassed, but he remained calm and asked, "Cai'er, I was draining your blood just now."

"Feel it, does your tooth hurt less now?"

Cai'er felt it for a while and said hesitantly, "It really doesn't hurt that much anymore."

Well, Jia Cong felt that this was half because he was scared, and half because the needle was inserted in the wrong place and the pain was transferred.

Of course, the truth could not be told to her, so Jia Cong said seriously: "You see, the effect is obvious after one injection. I will give you a few more injections, and it won't hurt at all."

Cai Er asked doubtfully, "Third Master, is this true?"

Jia Cong said seriously: "Of course it is true. Think about it, when have I ever lied to you?"

Cai Er gritted her teeth and said, "Third Master, then you can continue to pierce!"

Jia Cong picked up the silver needle and gave the acupuncture again.

This time he was a little more careful.

What we see on the acupuncture point map is somewhat different from reality.

This time, Jia Cong confirmed again and again before inserting the needle.

This time, there was no bleeding and Cai'er didn't cry out in pain.

It can be seen that the piercing was correct.

Next, Jia Cong only sought stability rather than speed, and began the acupuncture slowly.

Cai'er would shiver with every injection.

But she found that it didn't hurt anymore and she gradually relaxed.

PS: I recommend a card-themed book "Spirit Card: I Recreate Famous Chinese Scenes in Kyushu" by a newcomer, the author has a complex background, so book lovers who like card-themed books and a light-hearted and brainless writing style should not miss it.
