After crossing the road, w.a.n.g Yao pulled over to the side, made a call to the police, and then got out and walked over to the other car . The car window was still wound down, and w.a.n.g Yao could see the driver splayed upon the inflated airbags . His eyes were wide as though in a daze .

"How many fingers am I holding up?" w.a.n.g Yao extended a finger and waved it in front of the man's eyes .

"You…"

"How are you? Do you need me to call an ambulance?"

"Yes!"

"Don't drive so recklessly next time . "

Such reckless behavior would only hurt others and hurt oneself .

w.a.n.g Yao got out his phone and dialed for the ambulance . Then, after checking that the young driver was in no serious danger, he then continued on his way home .

Mission: Obtain the recognition of a hundred patients or their families within a hundred days—complete .

While he was still driving, w.a.n.g Yao suddenly heard this news, which delighted him .

This mission is finally finished, and this also means that I'll learn a new medical skill . What will it be? Acupuncture?

Thinking about this, w.a.n.g Yao was delighted . Nonetheless, he still drove slowly for the next 60 kilometers home . He then stopped the car, entered the house, and opened the system panel .

"This is?!"

w.a.n.g Yao was surprised .

The skill that he was given was actually "Tui Na Ma.s.sage"! Did this also count as "medicine"?

Do you want to learn it?

"Of course!"

Although there was still some uncertainty in his heart, w.a.n.g Yao had faith in the system and selected the skill without hesitation . Momentarily, he once again experienced the feeling of being filled with wisdom . This time was somewhat different from all the previous times . Besides gaining the technical know-how, he seemed to have mastered all the techniques in his fingertips, as though he had practiced it for decades . The experience was somewhat discomforting and could not simply be described as feeling good .

Once all this knowledge had entered his mind, it also made him realize the profundities of this medical art .

When thinking about ma.s.sages, many people would simply think of health maintenance . In truth, Tui Na ma.s.sages were an important part of Chinese medicine . Some scholars even termed it to be a "longevity art . " It was a natural method of treatment that humans could exercise, and as long as it was done properly, it would have no detrimental side effects .

In the Inner Cannon of the Yellow Emperor, it was mentioned that "if the channels and collaterals are not clear, illnesses will arise, the treatment of which comes from ma.s.sage . "

This comprises the arteries, veins, and internal organs of the human body treated with external forces like pressing, rubbing, pinching, etc . In a strict sense, health maintenance was about treating internal problems through external methods, and this even included setting bones .

"How about letting my parents try it first?"

Tui Na ma.s.sage therapy could not only be used to treat illnesses, but it could also regulate the flow of blood and energy in the body, boosting health and immunity .

After dinner, w.a.n.g Yao raised this suggestion to his mother .

"What, a ma.s.sage?" Zhang Xiuying asked after hearing that .

"Yeah, you've been busy working the whole day . Let me give you a ma.s.sage to chase away the fatigue . "

"It's like a back ma.s.sage, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's something like that," w.a.n.g Yao replied .

"Sure, it's rare that my son is so filial . "

Tui Na methods include pressing, slapping, rubbing, and pus.h.i.+ng on various areas of the body . With each different method, the way of exerting force would also vary, and to truly master each of these methods would require a thorough knowledge of the arteries, veins, and acupuncture points in the human body, as well as how to stimulate them . Only then can Tui Na achieve its effectiveness .

w.a.n.g Yao gave his mother a ma.s.sage starting from the shoulders downwards . After working for a whole day in the mountains, the neck, shoulders, and waist would be the areas that would be most sore .

He did not use much strength and could be considered gentle . However, his actions were extremely well-practiced . Be it rubbing, pressing, pus.h.i.+ng—each seemed like he had many years of experience . The way he exerted his strength around the various meridian and acupuncture points was precise, and his methods were backed by knowledge, not trial and error .

Following the Tui Na ma.s.sage, Zhang Xiuying could clearly feel the changes in her body . The areas that were ma.s.saged heated up and started to connect and feel really good . The areas which were sore and stiff also began to loosen up .

"How does it feel, Mom?"

"Yeah, it's nice," Zhang Xiuying said with her eyes closed in pleasure .

"Wow, you look radiant," w.a.n.g Fenghua, who was standing at the side, laughed as he said this .

"But of course, my son is giving me a ma.s.sage . Of course, I'll be radiant," Zhang Xiuying replied .

The ma.s.sage lasted for about half an hour . w.a.n.g Yao concentrated around the shoulders, back, and waist areas that were most worked . Following which, he also gave his father a Tui Na ma.s.sage .

"How is it, old man?" Zhang Xiuying asked as she soaked her feet .

"Yeah, it is very nice . Yao, who did you learn this from?"

"From the heavens," w.a.n.g Yao replied, laughing .

"Impossible . "

After completing the ma.s.sage for his parents, w.a.n.g Yao then returned back to Nanshan Hill .

The two old folks, who had been busy the whole day, had nothing to do and turned in early for bed . Tonight was clearly different from before, and they fell asleep easily, resting more comfortably than before .

"This time, I learned Tui Na Ma.s.sage . I wonder when I'll be able to learn acupuncture techniques?" w.a.n.g Yao thought .

Nanshan Hill was extremely quiet, and after the Hallucination Array was activated, the night became even quieter .

Unless there were any special circ.u.mstances, w.a.n.g Yao was rather unwilling to leave the mountain . He could feel that on this mountain, within the array, the body was more relaxed . What was spiritual energy? It was the energy between heaven and earth, formless and odorless, but definitely there . As long as humans breathed in this energy, they would naturally become healthier . He had once considered expanding the cottage into a larger house to accommodate his parents as well . However, that would affect the hallucination array, and furthermore, there were many dangerous areas to watch out for on the mountain . He could only put off his plans .

. . .

"w.a.n.g Fenglei! You're finally willing to return . How do you plan to resolve this mess you made? Have you been enjoying yourself these days?!"

In Lianshan County, w.a.n.g Yao's third uncle and his wife started to quarrel again .

"Ugh, why did the two noisy people upstairs start again?"

"Seems like the man is having an affair . "

"What, it's him, the bald one . He looks like he's fifty already, even though he's only forty . How can he get a woman outside?"

"Hey, don't look down on him . Let me tell you, nowadays, the young women love mature men!"

"Are you having ill thoughts too?!"

Shake, Bang!

"Something fell over again!"

"We can't go on like this; I want a divorce!"

"Divorce then, let's get it done tomorrow!" w.a.n.g Fenglei said while slamming the door .

"You…"

The next day, the two who were talking about divorce indeed went to the marriage registry to being the divorce proceedings . Only after it was done, w.a.n.g Fenglei gave w.a.n.g Yao's father a call .

"What, a divorce?!" Upon hearing the news, w.a.n.g Fenghua was stunned .

"Is that true?" w.a.n.g Yao also heard the "shocking" news from his mother when he came down from the hill in the afternoon .

"Seems to be true . "

"Gosh, Third Uncle really did it . He's already forty this year, isn't he?"

"Forty-two!" Zhang Xiuying exclaimed .

"Wow, respect . "

"Don't you learn from him!" Zhang Xiuying warned .

"Why would I? What's there to even learn from him?" w.a.n.g Yao replied after hearing that .

"He really has something going on with a lady from his workplace?"

"How should I know this?"

"Weren't you the one who recommended this job to him? How about you try asking?"

"Who would I ask? Let's not be nosy . Who he wants to be with is his problem . Can we just not bother with it?" w.a.n.g Yao asked .

After all, there was no way he could ask about this .

"You should ask your dad about this . "

During dinner, w.a.n.g Fenghua ate in silence, and he was clearly thinking about his third brother .

. . .

Miles away, in Cangzhou .

"Make sure to keep an eye on the things; don't let anyone take them . "

"Relax, Dad . "

Although there were knife wounds on his body, after using the secret medicine from Master Sang, he was basically cured . Zhou Xiong then brought his son and headed towards Lianshan County . They weren't going alone but were being escorted by some other people .

"Dad, how long will we be staying at w.a.n.g Yao's place?"

"Why? You like it there?"

"Yeah . "

"Then we'll stay there for a longer time . " Zhou Xiong ran his fingers through his son's hair .

As Zhou Xiong was leaving the Cangzhou area, he gave a call to w.a.n.g Yao to say he would be bringing his son over to continue treatment .

. . . . After crossing the road, w.a.n.g Yao pulled over to the side, made a call to the police, and then got out and walked over to the other car . The car window was still wound down, and w.a.n.g Yao could see the driver splayed upon the inflated airbags . His eyes were wide as though in a daze . How many fingers am I holding up? w.a.n.g Yao extended a finger and waved it in front of the mans eyes . You… How are you? Do you need me to call an ambulance? Yes!
