Gu Jingtian glanced at Zhu Yanyi. This little girl could have done it herself, yet she let her take the lead. Wasn’t she building her reputation? But this was fine. At least the Chinese delegation was making a name for itself.
Zhu Yanyi wanted exactly this effect. She wanted the Chinese delegation to shine, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine team to stand out. TCM wasn’t just hers; it belonged to all of China. Only by involving everyone could they truly shock the world.
Gu Jingtian’s acupuncture skills once again stunned everyone present. After the treatment, the patient stood up. She twisted her body casually, testing her limbs. Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, “Your body is fine now. If you don’t believe me, go to a hospital for a check-up. In the future, eat light food. Don’t eat too much salty stuff. Drink more soup every day. If you don’t know how to make soup, ask someone to buy Chinese soup-making books for you. Make it yourself. It helps your body and mind. For now, don’t eat goose meat or bird organs. Wait three years until you are fully recovered, then you can eat them slowly. Eat one meal of coarse grains every day, like corn porridge. It is good for your health.”
“Thank you. I will remember.” The man noted everything Zhu Yanyi said. She would go to the hospital to check. If she was truly fine, she would come back to thank the Chinese delegation greatly.
She left in a hurry. However, the patients behind her all wanted to try the Chinese delegation’s help.
At that moment, a member of another delegation shouted, “Chinese delegation, can you help treat this patient?”
Hearing the call, Zhu Yanyi and her team walked over. They saw a patient sitting in a wheelchair, looking weak. Zhu Yanyi took a quick look. “Calf atrophy?”
“Did you read my medical records?” the patient asked curiously. she was surprised that she diagnosed her without even looking at her files.
Zhu Yanyi smiled but said nothing. Gu Jingtian spoke up, “No, we haven’t seen your records. Our TCM relies on looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse. Just by looking at your face, I saw your leg problem. It is a meridian atrophy issue.”
“Can it be treated?” The patient felt a surge of hope. If a glance could reveal the truth, there must be a cure.
Gu Jingtian smiled slightly. “I need to check your pulse first. Then I can answer you.”
“Then check it quickly!” The man extended his hand eagerly, hoping Gu Jingtian would start immediately.
Gu Jingtian smiled, sat down, and took the patient’s pulse. About a minute later, he let go of the man’s hand. “Your calf atrophy was caused by a fall.”
“That’s right. I like mountain climbing. Once, I missed a step and fell. My leg broke. Although I had surgery and treated it for a long time, it didn’t improve. My body recovered, but my calf became like this.” The patient smiled bitterly. He looked at Gu Jingtian with hope. “Can you treat it?”
“If it were me, I would have only a fifty percent chance. But we have this little divine doctor here. With her, the chance is over ninety percent.” Gu Jingtian grinned and stepped aside, making room for Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Gu Jingtian and smiled. She stepped forward, checked the patient’s pulse, and then examined her calf. “I can cure your leg. But you must endure the pain of a broken bone again. Do you want to proceed?”
