Wang Xi Zhu left.
The crowd inside the ward started to discuss.
“Hey, Elder Wang’s been miserable. His children didn’t even pay his medical bills and he has to owe the payment.”
“Elder Wang has been hospitalized a lot of times. His life savings have practically all been given to the hospital.”
“Doesn’t Elder Wang have a medical insurance card? Why does he still spend so much?”
“Medical insurance card? That’s rubbish. Elder Wang has been eating imported medicine. These medications aren’t cheap. A small box would cost a few thousand dollars. Who could afford it?”
“Never mind, let’s see if Elder Wang benefits from the setup outside. If it is really useful, he’d benefit so much from it. They dare to give free treatment outside a hospital, I’m pretty sure it isn’t a scam. There are a lot of free treatment avenues online but it depends if Elder Wang could visit them with his current illness.
…
Outside.
Lin Fan didn’t know what to feel. He didn’t expect it to have developed this way. Even those with flu came to visit him. However, he didn’t make a fuss about it since they were there to give free treatment. Flu was an illness too. He just let Zhao Ming Qing attend to them. Although he couldn’t treat them with acupuncture, he could prescribe them with some medicine. However, Lin Fan told him a small trick. Those with cases of flu that weren’t so serious, he could just insert a needle and give them a massage. There was no need for medicine.
Zhao Ming Qing was ecstatic when he heard about the trick. He had gained new knowledge again.
Even Qiu Jie and Zhang Tong Tong were excited too.
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. He wondered where the essence of Chinese medicine had gone to. This little trick was literally everywhere in the Encyclopedia. But nobody knew about it.
At that moment.
An elderly man in his sixties came. He was wearing typical clothes and he was looking around. He walked over curiously when he saw Lin Fan’s setup. He coughed several times and it sounded pretty serious.
Zhao Ming Qing was a little more sensitive to coughs because he used to be like this. Could this person that came over be suffering the same illness as him in the past?
“Lung problem,” Lin Fan said when he saw him walking towards them.
It was useless to describe it profoundly. He just had to be straightforward about the person’s condition. At the same time, it helped them to be less worried.
When he read the man’s fortune, he realized that the man was rather miserable. He was alone in the hospital and his children didn’t care about him.
“Can you tell what’s wrong with me?” Wang Xi Zhu asked carefully.
It was the first time he had approached a voluntary medical booth like this and he didn’t know what to do.
“Yeah, I can tell. Come, have a seat,” Lin Fan waved his hand and welcomed him.
Wang Xi Zhu seemed a little unsettled. He asked, “Is the treatment free?”
Lin Fan smiled, “Don’t worry, it is free. We don’t charge any fees here.”
“That’s good.” Wang Xi Zhu heaved a sigh of relief and sat down.
Zhao Ming Qing asked, “Your lung problem is similar to my past Lung problem. I was suffering from it for a few decades.”
Wang Xi Zhu was stunned, “I can’t tell that you’ve had this disease.”
Zhao Ming Qing smiled, “It’s been cured.”
“Congratulations!” Wang Xi Zhu congratulated him in envy. He envied healthy people the most. One could accomplish more with a healthy body. They wouldn’t have to lie on the hospital bed like him.
“Ming Qing, come and have a look…” Lin Fan said.
Zhao Ming Qing nodded and began to check on him. He was quite familiar with the procedure. “Teacher, his condition is a little more serious than mine. The problem is not just with his lungs. Other body parts are also problematic. It’s just easy to be overlooked because of his lung problem.”
“Okay.” Lin Fan nodded. Zhao Ming Qing’s medical skills were indeed superb. He could tell about his condition after looking at him for a while. This information could be inferred from looking at his face, tongue and pulse.
Wang Xi Zhu wasn’t hopeful of having his illness treated. “Can you guys treat my illness?”
If it was in the past, Zhao Ming Qing would’ve answered with a no. Because he didn’t even manage to treat his own condition. However, it was different now. His mentor was there and he could definitely treat him since he had managed to treat Zhao Ming Qing himself successfully.
Lin Fan nodded, “Yes, we can treat it.”
Wang Xi Zhu said, “Oh, I knew you wouldn’t be able to treat it.” But suddenly, he realized what Lin Fan had said and was in disbelief, “What did you just say?”
Lin Fan repeated, “I said, it’s curable.”
Wang Xi Zhu didn’t believe him. Then, Lin Fan said, “Here, pass me your hand.”
Lin Fan grabbed onto Wang Xi Zhu’s hand and pressed onto it, “Do you feel anything?”
Wang Xi Zhu nodded, “Yeah, there’s a numbing feeling. It’s like I feel a little better now.”
“Okay, stand up,” Lin Fan said. Then, he grabbed onto Wang Xi Zhu’s shoulder with one hand. He placed the other hand on his lung area and pressed onto it. He changed the way he was pressing and asked, “How do you feel? Do you feel like there’s a warm feeling being circulated?”
“Yes, yes…” Wang Xi Zhu answered ecstatically.
Lin Fan waved his hand at Zhao Ming Qing to get him to bring the acupuncture needles. Then, he said, “Later, I will be placing a needle there. It will be a little ticklish. Just tell me if you feel anything.”
Wang Xi Zhu was extremely happy and when he saw the needles in Lin Fan’s hand, he didn’t flinch. He was full of anticipation.
Lin Fan inserted it and gently swirled it around. The mystical boost of the Encyclopedia was starting to activate.
This time, without Lin Fan’s prompt, Wang Xi Zhu immediately said, “I feel it. I feel the ticklish sensation.”
Gradually, people started to gather around.
“Hey, those are acupuncture needles. I’ve seen them in dramas before. It’s a professional Chinese medical tool.”
“I didn’t expect to see Chinese medical Doctors use it to treat patients. What’s wrong with this elderly man?”
“I don’t know, but he looks like he’s enjoying it.”
Some people started to record what was happening with their phones. Although they didn’t know what was happening, they felt that it was remarkable.
Lin Fan didn’t notice these people. He just smiled, “Not bad, right? It’s good that you’re feeling this. Later, the needle will be slightly longer, will you be scared? However, it’ll still feel good.”
Wang Xi Zhu stood there and closed his eyes. “I won’t look. Doctor, do whatever you want. I’ve never felt so good before.”
Lin Fan smiled and nodded. It wouldn’t be a problem anymore if he closed his eyes. Then, he waved his hand at Zhao Ming Qing. Everyone was a little frightened when they saw the needles of different thicknesses and lengths.
He placed one needle after another.
The treatment was a little complicated. It required multiple insertions of acupuncture needles. Basically, he had to have more than ten needles on his body for the treatment.
The surrounding townsfolk stared at them in shock.
Some of the more timid ones covered their mouths. It was too scary.
It was especially scary when the elderly man’s body was covered with a lot of needles.

Zhao Ming Qing wasn’t afraid at all while Qiu Jie and Zhang Tong Tong were extremely anxious. They forcefully swallowed their saliva. It was the first time they had seen this.
Then, the townsfolk started to record whatever they were looking at.
Because it was simply too shocking.
