Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother
Chapter 44: First Acupuncture
"If you don't allow me to watch, can I wait outside the room separated by a wall?"
The priest glanced at him and said, "As you wish. You may leave now."
Sifos was stunned. He didn't expect the first treatment to come so quickly. He bent down and touched the girl's hand reluctantly: "Daddy is outside, don't be afraid, okay?"
Then he stood up and walked out of the room, closing the door gently.
The old woman looked at Gantz who was standing on the side and said, "Why are you still here? You should get out too."
"Oh……"
Ganz walked out the door and stood aside with Sifos, the big and the small standing against the wall together as a "punishment".
Looking at Gantz who was obviously more innocent and gullible, Sifos decided to ask a few words: "Is this how you priests treat patients all the time? No one except the patient can enter."
Ganz thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem so, but sometimes they would chase us kids out."
"Oh? When?" Sifos asked calmly.
Ganz held his chin with his hand and tried to recall: "Well... that time my father and mother brought me here together, and I secretly heard them say, 'We don't want it anymore, get rid of it, and never want it again...'"
Sifos: “…”
Ganz even pinched his throat and imitated it vividly. At the end, his face frowned and said, "I don't know what Eminem wants to knock out. It must be very painful."
When he made a mistake, it was painful enough when his palms and buttocks were spanked. I couldn’t imagine how painful it would be if his buttocks were spanked off.
Siphos had to change his approach and ask, "Is it scary when you priests treat illnesses? For example, what scary things do you use?"
"No, the priest always prescribes some medicine for us to boil ourselves when we go back home. Oh, right! One time my father fell down from a mountain and broke his leg. I heard the priest ask Taohua to get a knife. I was scared to death at that time, and I thought they were going to chop off my father's leg, but later I found that the leg was still there..."
Sifos sighed. It seemed that he could not get anything out of him. Ganz was too young and adults would avoid him in many things. One reason was that they were afraid that the child would get in the way, and the other was that they were afraid that he would scare them.
It would be great if Wei'er could speak, so I could ask her directly.
Inside the house, the old woman asked Taohua to prepare a few things. Taohua was very quick and as she often helped the old woman, she knew exactly where everything was.
Soon, a pack of silver needles, an oil lamp, and a pinch of fine powder like tobacco leaves were placed on the table in front of Xu Weiwei. In order to prevent her from moving or crying during the treatment, there were even toys such as small bells and rag dolls.
Seeing these things, Xu Weiwei immediately understood what the old woman was going to do - she wanted to give her acupuncture.
No wonder her father was not allowed to be here, otherwise he would not agree to her being pierced by such a long needle. This comic is set in the future, and most people no longer know about Chinese medicine, or it has gradually disappeared in the long river of history. In their eyes, piercing the body with a needle is just a torture.
"Taohua, grab her hand and don't let her move."
"Okay." Taohua took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, gently holding Xu Weiwei's arms. She often helped the old man, and was afraid at first, but later she had more experience and became more courageous. Now she can watch the old man give acupuncture without changing her expression, and can calmly answer questions from the other party's school exam.
"Which acupuncture points should be pierced for weak children?" the old man asked while disinfecting the needle.
Taohua was a child she adopted from the tribe, and was training her as an heir. He had been with her since he was five years old. Now he was thirteen years old and was memorizing acupuncture point maps and pharmacology.
Taohua was in a dilemma. She and Shanlao had never seen such patients before. Since she had been following Shanlao, most of the patients she met were suffering from bruises, muscle pains, and some with gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, and fevers. Therefore, the acupoints and medical books she memorized also focused on these aspects, and she really didn't know much about pediatrics.
At the moment, I can only guess a few at random: "Yongquan acupoint, Zusanli acupoint, hmm..."
There are also Shenque point, Shenzhu point, Pishu point, Shenshu point, Fengfu point, Yingxiang point and Hegu point, Xu Weiwei added in her heart.
Xu Weiwei was very happy to completely recall the knowledge she had learned. Phew~ It seems that her memory is still good. These things are still there and she hasn't forgotten them.
"Remember, the first one is the Shenzhu point." As soon as the old woman finished speaking, the first needle fell.
"Yeah!" The girl listened attentively while looking at the position.
"The Shenzhu acupoint is located below the third thoracic vertebra. It can promote yang and regulate qi, regulate the spleen and stomach, and cure all diseases."
"Then there is the Shenque point, which is the navel. Moxibustion on the Shenque point can cure all symptoms of weakness."
The old woman picked up a piece of gauze, folded it several times, and covered Xu Weiwei's belly button. Then, like rolling a cigarette, she pinched a pinch of brown powder and put it on the paper and rolled it into a long strip. After lighting one end, she placed it on Xu Weiwei's belly button in the air.
A wisp of smoke curled up, and the room was filled with the smell of medicinal herbs. It was not any herbal smell that Xu Weiwei was familiar with, but it smelled very good.
The burned area turned into ashes and fell down, and was caught by the gauze. Xu Weiwei felt her entire abdomen warm and very comfortable.
Heat also surged up from the Shenzhu point on the chest, and gradually penetrated to the Jiuwei point and Juque point.
The first acupuncture session should not be too long, and Xu Weiwei was too young. It should have been about half an hour, but the priest shortened it to ten minutes.
When the needle was pulled out, the little girl was surprised: "She was so well behaved! She didn't make any trouble at all!"
Indeed, Xu Weiwei was very cooperative throughout the whole process. She remained in a supine position without crying, making a fuss or moving around. Even the old woman was a little surprised, but she didn't think much about it and just regarded it as the baby's natural personality.
I also felt a little more favorable towards Xu Weiwei. Who wouldn't like a quiet child?
The old man, who had originally planned to give Xu Weiwei only one acupuncture and one moxibustion, changed his mind temporarily. He asked Xu Weiwei to lie on his arm and hold it with one hand, while he used the other hand to locate the acupuncture point and gave her another needle.
At the same time, I explained to the girl: "This is the Dazhui point, located on the back, in the depression below the highest point where the neck and chest meet. It can balance yin and yang, resist external evil, and improve immunity."
After waiting for the same ten minutes, Xu Weiwei felt so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
The old woman told the girl in advance: "Go to the backyard and squeeze a bowl of goat milk and boil it."
"Okay." Taohua answered softly in a low voice for fear of disturbing Xu Weiwei.
Outside, Sifos felt that every second was like a year. Seeing someone coming out, he hurriedly asked, "Is it over? Can I go in?"
"Not yet. Shanlao asked me to come out and make a bowl of goat milk for her later."
"Weier just drank milk, less than an hour ago." Sifos kindly reminded.
"Ah, I don't know. Shanlao asked me to cook it. It doesn't matter if she doesn't drink it. She can give it to me." Taohua was afraid that the man would think it was a waste, but when she said it aloud it sounded like she was trying to snatch food from a child. She couldn't explain it, so she ran away embarrassedly.
Sifos looked at the closed door, sighed, and continued his long wait. His eyes inadvertently glanced at the empty seat next to him.
Hmm? Where did that guy go? When did he disappear?
