Chapter 1958: Chapter 1953: You’re Not Messing With Me, Are You?
"Master Xiaobei, if I’m not mistaken, out of all those people earlier, her problem is the most serious."
Seeing Hu Xiaobei looking at him, Li Nan took a deep breath and respectfully spoke softly.
The matron following Li Nan was utterly astonished to see him being so deferential to a young man.
She thought it should be the young man who was deferentially looking up at him, as Li Nan seemed more fitting for the role of a teacher.
Hu Xiaobei didn’t mind her astonishment, looking at Li Nan, "Not bad, Li. Your eye is quite sharp! It appears you have some talent!"
Hearing such praise, Li Nan knew he was right.
Seeing his excitement, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently and said, "Since you brought her here, you must have seen her issue. Tell me, what exactly is her problem?"
Knowing Hu Xiaobei was testing him, Li Nan curbed his slight pride and spoke with utmost seriousness.
"Master Xiaobei, her liver is the problem! Liver fire is so excessive that it’s boiling the kidney water, and since she hasn’t treated it much before, now all her five organs are showing more or less problems. If left untreated, soon they’ll interact, making the issue even more severe."
"This..."
The woman turned pale upon hearing Li Nan’s words.
Before, she didn’t think her problem was very serious.
Now, hearing such a solemn description, she realized her issue was far more severe than she imagined.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Realizing her problem was truly grave, she looked at Li Nan in terror.
Her terrified look drew the attention of many, so a lot of people curiously gathered around.
Seeing her nervous demeanor, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently and said, "There is no need to panic. Since we’ve identified your problem, we will certainly help you solve it, so you have nothing to fear."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
She nodded quickly...
For some reason, feeling Hu Xiaobei’s composure, she too regained a bit of calm.
...
"What’s happening here?"
"Yeah!"
"I don’t know either!"
As she regained her calm, many around muttered in astonishment...
Though they gathered around, they didn’t know what was going on.
The matron glanced at them, gathered her emotions a bit, and quickly explained, "It’s like this, they discovered my body has serious issues, so now they are treating me."
"Treating? Here?"
"Yeah, that’s unlikely! They must be frauds!"
"Exactly! There are many frauds nowadays! You must not easily trust strangers, or else all your money will be scammed away!"
After hearing the matron’s recount, they immediately thought she had encountered frauds.
Because these kinds of charlatan tricks are exceedingly common.
The Dean sitting on Hu Xiaobei’s other side heard their conjecture and was nearly fuming...
Just as he was about to clarify his identity, he heard an excited voice.
"You’re the Dean, right? I saw you while getting treated at the hospital before. I never thought I’d meet you here, this is great, truly great!"
Hearing such excited words, he turned and saw a spirited old man looking at him excitedly.
With a slight recollection, he smiled gently, "Indeed, it’s me! How is your recovery now?"
"So much better! When I went for a follow-up, the hospital’s doctors were quite shocked."
Hearing the old man’s excited words, he smiled gently and advised, "It’s good you’ve recovered well. Take care of yourself in the future, alright?"
"Yes, I understand!"
Those who doubted them felt their cheeks burning upon hearing this conversation...
They realized they had indeed been proven wrong...
It was clear they weren’t frauds at all.
...
Hu Xiaobei didn’t mind their words. He looked at Li Nan and softly said, "Li, since you’ve identified the problem, how do you think it should be treated?"
"Hmm... I think acupuncture is best!"
"Acupuncture is indeed applicable. If you were to perform acupuncture, which acupoints would you target?"
Knowing Hu Xiaobei was testing him, Li Nan didn’t rush to respond but pondered seriously.
Soon, Li Nan raised his head and solemnly said, "If it were me, I would target three acupoints on her body. It would take effect after three sessions, and a full recovery after five."
Having said that, he solemnly named the three acupoints he intended to target.
Those around heard this but failed to understand what it meant.
The Dean had heard of these acupoints, but he didn’t know what they specifically represented.
Nor did he know their locations.
Upon hearing Li Nan’s proposed treatment, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently, "The three acupoints you mentioned can indeed help her recover, but the effect is too slow. You can try using silver needles to target this area in the future."
While speaking, Hu Xiaobei pointed at his own wrist...
Glancing at his wrist, Li Nan thought of the acupoint there and instinctively asked, "The acupoint here? Master Xiaobei, are you referring to the acupoint hegu?"
"Yes! Its effect surpasses those three, and it can completely restore her in just one session."
"I’ll give it a try!"
In such excitement, he said to himself, and took out the silver needle used for acupuncture.
Not only did Hu Xiaobei carry it...
He also carried it...
One could say, any qualified practitioner of Chinese Medicine carries silver needles for acupuncture.
Because it is an exceptionally effective treatment method...
Seeing him eager to make a move, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently, picked up the tea cup again, and took a leisurely sip.
At this moment, almost everyone was watching Li Nan...
Earlier, when Li Nan mentioned taking effect after three sessions and recovering after five, they felt there might be some exaggeration.
Now, hearing Hu Xiaobei mention a complete cure with one session, they outright didn’t believe it...
They thought Chinese Medicine couldn’t possibly be that fast in efficacy...
So now, they wanted to see Hu Xiaobei make a fool of himself.
"These folks seem eager to see Xiaobei mess up, but they likely won’t get the chance in this lifetime! Because Xiaobei truly is unbeatable."
Feng Junjun glanced at them, squinting her eyes.
She knew that since Hu Xiaobei said it, he was absolutely confident.
So those waiting for Hu Xiaobei to fail were definitely overthinking it...
Under everybody’s watchful eyes, Li Nan felt a bit nervous...
"It’s like being back to my apprentice days!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Nan murmured to himself.
Soon, he restrained that nervousness and approached the matron.
The matron glanced nervously at Li Nan and asked quietly, "Um... can you really cure me? Are you not just trying to fool me here?"
