Dr. Li looked at Bei Shuo’s treatment plan and frowned.
“Is that all?” he asked Bei Shuo.
Bei Shuo nodded. “That’s right. Use moxibustion to clear the acupuncture points and perform acupuncture to channel the yang energy of the wormwood into the meridians to expel the coldness in the patient’s body. Coupled with a massage, it will definitely be effective in the future.”
“Where’s the medicine?” Dr. Li asked.
Bei Shuo smiled. “I’m not as experienced as Teacher in medicine. I still have to learn from Teacher.”
Dr. Li was speechless, but he had no choice but to pretend to nod deeply. It was not appropriate for him to say anything else.
Bei Shuo probed, “Teacher Li, do you think it’s alright?”
Dr. Li did not speak.
Bei Shuo said, “Then shall we start today?”
Dr. Li tightened his grip on the proposal and nodded. “Alright, we’ll go now!”
Bei Shuo heaved a sigh of relief.
“The patient’s emotions are unstable. If we perform acupuncture on her, she will be frightened and we won’t be able to proceed smoothly. Have you thought about this problem?” Dr. Li asked Bei Shuo as he looked at the unfocused and wooden-looking patient on the bed.
Bei Shuo stood behind Dr. Li without saying a word.
When Dr. Li turned around to look at Bei Shuo, Bei Shuo revealed a helpless expression. “Then what should we do?”
Dr. Li was satisfied with Bei Shuo’s reaction. “I’ll prescribe a dose of medicine and let her fall asleep first. Then, you can do the acupuncture according to your method.”
Bei Shuo nodded hurriedly. “Good idea.”
Dr. Li followed Bei Shuo the entire time. As he watched Bei Shuo skillfully perform acupuncture, he gradually gained an understanding of his student’s skills. Bei Shuo’s acupuncture skills seemed to come from her family, but her skills were much worse when it came to medicine.
This made him finally relax. No matter what, a 20-year-old girl could not surpass him!
Without the effect of the Snow Pill, Mu Ci’s condition would not have improved.
The most important thing now was to obtain the Snow Pill and carefully study its composition and replicate it exactly.
Of course, it would be even more icing on the cake if he could learn this girl’s acupuncture technique.
Bei Shuo gave the last injection and heaved a sigh of relief. “Teacher Li, if you have something to do, go ahead. I’ll stay here and guard.”
How could Dr. Li dare to let her be alone with the patient? He pulled a chair and sat down, pretending to read the report. “I’m fine. Let’s wait together.”
Bei Shuo sat down by the bed and outlined the patient’s appearance in her heart as she checked her pulse.
She felt that this person looked familiar, but it was impossible for her to have seen her before. Then, had she seen someone who looked very similar to her?
Thinking about it, the number of people she had seen in her life could really be counted on one hand. Who did she look like?
Bei Shuo noted down her pulse and ignored Dr. Li’s gaze from time to time. She focused on being a diligent and silly student.
The patient gradually regained consciousness when Bei Shuo started to remove the needles. Bei Shuo swiftly removed all the needles before the patient completely woke up and started massaging her.
The patient moaned softly. When she opened her eyes and saw Dr. Li, she instinctively cowered with fear in her eyes.
Dr. Li took a step closer and said gently, “Don’t be afraid. I’m your attending doctor. Don’t you remember?”
The patient leaned into the bed nervously and realized that her leg was in someone else’s palm. She could not help but scream.
Bei Shuo hurriedly stopped and smiled at her. “Don’t be afraid. I’m not a bad person.”
The patient looked at her and blinked, as if she was thinking about something.
Bei Shuo pulled her arm and gently combed her meridians. She said gently, “My name is Bei Shuo. I’m a student. I’ll come and chat with you when I’m free in the future, okay?”
The patient looked at her blankly.
Bei Shuo’s smile did not change, and her hands did not stop moving. “Everyone here is very busy, but I’m not. Since you’re not busy either, let’s be companions.”
Bei Shuo could clearly feel that the patient’s body was no longer tense.
She understood what she was saying, which made things easier.
Dr. Li frowned. “How can you make such a promise?”
Bei Shuo smiled. “Teacher Li, you don’t have to stick to certain methods when treating illnesses. It’s fine as long as the final outcome is good, right? When the patient’s mind is comfortable, it’s naturally beneficial to the illness, right?”
Dr. Li said unhappily, “Then do you have time to come and accompany her every day?”
Bei Shuo smiled brightly. “If Teacher Li allows it, I’ll visit her every day and give her a massage.”
Dr. Li snorted. “How about your homework and your thesis?”
“It’s alright. I’ll definitely complete them on time,” Bei Shuo promised readily.
