Chapter 1141
The organizers had not yet replied. Zhu Yanyi spoke first, her face gentle and calm.
"Everyone, please do not be angry. The organizers likely have their own reasons. It is fine for us to wait here. If there are patients, we will treat them. If not, we can rest. We have been very busy these past few days. A short break is good for us."
"No, that won't do," someone complained. "We want to stay by your side and see the magic of your Traditional Chinese Medicine. Watching you is like watching action scenes in a sci-fi movie. With just one move, you heal a patient. If you don't treat anyone, we won't get to see it."
This person truly believed Chinese medicine was magic.
"Yes, yes. How about we give you our seats?" A representative from another country spoke up. He was very clear-headed. His country used Western medicine, which was just okay. If he could learn a little Chinese medicine, maybe he could treat cancer in the future. So, it was better to make friends now.
Gu Jingtian laughed softly, looking grateful. "No need, no need. There are so many patients. We will surely get one or two turns. Then you can still watch us treat them."
Gu Jingtian finally understood what Zhu Yanyi meant yesterday when she said her preparation would not be wasted.
Seeing many delegations willing to give up their seats, the patients nearby started to think. They felt the Chinese delegation might have better skills. So, they planned to let the Chinese team treat them. At first, they wanted to test the team's strength.
One patient walked toward the Chinese delegation’s spot. Not only did the patient watch, but other delegations looked too. This made it seem like, except for the Chinese team, everyone else was just there to observe and learn, not to treat.
The Chinese delegation decided to let Zhu Yanyi go first. If she started well, the rest would be easy.
Zhu Yanyi did not refuse. She took the patient’s pulse. At the same time, she used her special power to check her body.
"You usually have a poor appetite," she said. "Every spring and autumn, your stomach hurts. When your stomach hurts, you can’t sleep well at night. This makes your head hurt the next day. Is that right?"
"How did you know? I haven’t told you anything yet!" The patient looked at Zhu Yanyi with curiosity. At first, seeing a little girl treat her, she thought she had come to the wrong place. She thought, Well, if it doesn’t work, I’ll find another doctor. But she never expected this little girl to know everything just by touching her pulse.
This made the other delegations pay even more attention. Other patients watched too. If they didn’t know this patient came with them, they would have thought he was an actor hired to pretend.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "Your illness is not hard to cure. You don’t even need medicine. In Chinese medicine, the stomach belongs to the Earth element. Your Earth lacks Water. So, we just need to activate your Kidney Water."
She then turned to Gu Jingtian. "Senior Brother, use the Ninth Needle of Withered Wood Meets Spring to stimulate her Kidney Water."
"Okay." Gu Jingtian prepared the needles.
Zhu Yanyi asked the patient to lie down on the bed nearby. Then she said, "Our team leader, Mr. Gu, is very famous in China. He is the eldest disciple of the Medicine Elder and the director of the Capital Hospital. His acupuncture skills come from the Medicine Elder. So, don’t worry. It won’t hurt."
