Wang He completely disregarded the clumsy words of the fool and seemed to particularly like Xiao Yu'er. Hearing this, he not only showed no signs of blame but instead burst into hearty laughter. "In Great Qin, with Luzi around, all kinds of talents can be brought to our side. This is a sign of prosperity for my Qin State and a blessing for my King Qin! Come! Come! I have only this piece left; as long as you don't kill me on the spot, I'm fine with whatever you decide. As for how to cut, I'll follow the instructions of this little divine doctor!"
Upon hearing this, Luzi turned around and saw Xiao Yu'er indeed pulling out a small knife, which immediately scared him into a cold sweat. Without bothering to explain, he hurriedly stopped the one who intended to approach the Commander with a blade. Cautiously glancing at the sharp tip of the knife, he reminded, "Can we avoid using that if we don't have to? What kind of illness requires bloodshed?"
Xiao Yu'er took another look at Wang He's complexion and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid that's not possible! With great enemies looming, we still rely on Old General to command Thousand Troops and Horses! If we use medicine, it might not cure the root cause!"
What troubled Wang He was not only the unfavorable situation at the front but also his recent health issues. Ever since winter began, any gust of cold wind would immediately cause large welts to appear on his skin. The itching was unbearable, and even scratching it didn't help. As a result, he could only hide inside the Main Tent, afraid to go out into the wind.
A military general couldn't afford to stay indoors! Moreover, with war ongoing, if the Commander fell ill, it would affect Morale!
The Surgeon in the army had come to diagnose his condition but suggested nothing more than hot compresses and herbal remedies for gradual recovery. Seeing that he was already turning gray-haired, he feared he might not live to see the day he was cured! At this moment, hearing that medicine could not cure his ailment, he firmly expressed his absolute disagreement with taking any medicine.
Seeing this old man and young one working in perfect harmony, Luzi felt there was no need to say anything else. After reminding Xiao Yu'er to be careful everywhere, he stood by intending to observe the divine doctor's methods. It wasn't that he didn't trust anyone; he genuinely wanted to witness a miracle.
Wang He moved his fingers and explained his recent feelings to the divine doctor. "The itching is excruciating; scratching it only makes it painful. I haven't been able to sleep well all night; my complexion must look terrible. Since yesterday, I've felt my spirit starting to fade. If this continues, my old life will be hanging by a thread."
Hearing the Old General's humorous words made Xiao Yu'er chuckle heartily. Such behavior inevitably made Luzi feel embarrassed. He quickly explained that Xiao Yu'er had come from Wangwu Mountain and thus wasn't very familiar with social niceties.
Wang He usually had no airs about him and was well-liked by others. Hearing Luzi's explanation now, he waved his hand indicating there was no need for further words. Besides, this wasn't a formal occasion; what was wrong with being free and easy?
People's hearts are vast; everything can be discussed openly. If one encounters someone petty-minded and narrow-hearted, even if you clearly helped them, they might still blame you for being rude. Fortunately, Luzi had known Wang He for quite some time and understood that what the Old General just said was perfectly fine.
Xiao Yu'er merely listened as the two chatted aimlessly while continuing her work without stopping. Calculating the current time with her fingers, she then placed the sharp little knife over the candle flame to roast it.
Luzi knew that this person always preferred to cut through problems quickly, believing that the simpler the treatment, the better. At this moment, seeing her meticulous movements as she wiped the sweat from her forehead made him sigh. Ah! Different fields are like different mountains; it’s better to say less and observe more! Since the effects of medication were not good, then surgery would be the way to go!
Xiao Yu'er sterilized her small knife with fire and turned around, only to realize both were watching her. “Old General, if you’re scared, you can close your eyes!”
This wild girl!
Luzi had intended to explain further but saw Old General wink at him, signaling him to remain calm. Since it had come to this, whatever! It was already happening! So he decided to relax and quietly wait for the outcome.
Wang He had never seen someone use a knife for treating itching before; he remembered that such methods were only used for treating knife wounds or arrow injuries. But she was the expert in this field; pretending to know more would only hinder the treatment. He nodded, indicating that there was no need to close his eyes; Thousand Troops and Horses hadn’t frowned before!
For some reason, ever since this healer stood nearby, he felt no more itching throughout his body. As his heart calmed down completely, Wang He suddenly felt relaxed all over. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath and happily asked, “I still don’t know this divine doctor’s name; it’s quite rude of me. Would you dare tell this old man your name?”
Xiao Yu'er didn’t hesitate and replied directly, “What’s there to be afraid of!? Scoundrel, my surname is Lu, my given name is Jiang, and my courtesy name is Yuer. You can just call me Xiao Yu'er.”
“Little Fish!” Wang He nodded and said, “Hmm! A good name! Our army is currently struggling due to water issues; having a divine doctor here is a good omen. It signifies that I will soon thrive like a fish in water! Good!”
This person was simply in a good mood; it was rare for Old General to be so happy. Luzi quickly exchanged glances with Xiao Yu'er, and Little Fish would be just fine. Besides, we weren’t losing anything.
Healers are all compassionate individuals. Especially those with profound skills; the patient’s mood often enhances the effectiveness of treatment significantly. Xiao Yu'er immediately nodded in agreement, not responding verbally but holding up her small knife while waiting for the result.
Seeing the divine doctor’s actions reminded Wang He that he hadn’t addressed the main issue. “Little Fish! Let’s get started!”
With the patient’s consent, Xiao Yu'er shook her small knife. “The timing is just right now; by taking the Shallow Surge Point from the Taiyin Heart Sutra to release the cold poison and then using some medicine to support the righteous energy, you will recover completely!”
Wang He’s wife came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, so she understood the meridian points that Xiao Yu'er mentioned. The so-called Hand Taiyin Heart Meridian is one of the twelve primary meridians in the human body, starting from the Jiquan Acupoint to the Shallow Surge Point. The acupoints along this meridian are only related to internal organ diseases. Could it be that this illness is not external but internal? Even if this is an internal illness treated externally, it seems unrelated to the Hand Taiyin Heart Meridian.
Forget it! When sick, it's best to listen to the experts!
After making up his mind, Wang He asked, “How many days will this method of yours take?”
Xiao Yu'er looked again at the complexion of the patient sitting across from him. “Seven days! But during these seven days, you can only eat light foods. Especially meat and fish, absolutely must not touch!”
“Understood! Just do what you need to do!” Wang He extended his right hand and said, “Whether to kill or to spare is up to you; I’ll leave these seven days to you!”
“Great! I like patients like you! I guarantee a cure!” Xiao Yu'er turned to look at Luzi and said with a double meaning, “Unlike some patients who clearly know nothing but still make random suggestions. Since you know everything, why come to me for treatment?”
Wang He watched as the tip of the knife pricked his little finger; he was indeed questioning this treatment method. However, hearing those words, it was clear they were not directed at him. Then he glanced at Luzi and suddenly slapped his thigh, exclaiming, “What I hate most are people like that! Here I am leading troops into battle, and they insist on coming to tell me how I shouldn't fight! If you know everything, why don’t you just be the Commander?”
