Chapter 1576 — The Collapsed Old Man
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"All right." Tang Yun's words decided it for Wei Zhao. He strode over to the old man and said to the boy, "Don't move him around. Let me take a look."
"Ah... okay. Are you a doctor?" The boy had been in a state of panic, and suddenly someone had come to help. He felt as though he had found his pillar of support, and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes," Wei Zhao replied calmly, then took the old man's wrist and began to examine his pulse.
"Hmm?" The old man's pulse gave Wei Zhao quite a surprise. Most of the meridians within the old man's body were blocked! Judging by appearances, this old man should have been a cripple -- there was no way he could walk. And there was no wheelchair anywhere nearby...
"What's wrong? Doctor, what's wrong with my grandfather?" The boy saw Wei Zhao frown and was startled.
"Nothing serious, just heatstroke brought on by a weak constitution." One glance at the old man's condition told Wei Zhao it was heatstroke caused by physical frailty. As for the strange phenomenon in the old man's meridians, Wei Zhao paid it no mind. Though he could repair and clear another person's meridians, he had no particular connection to this old man, and he had no intention of revealing his abilities so casually to a stranger.
Having spoken, Wei Zhao took out the silver needles he carried with him and swiftly inserted them into several acupoints on the old man's body. With some simple massage work added, the old man soon regained consciousness -- in no more than five minutes.
"There." Wei Zhao swiftly withdrew the silver needles and rose to his feet.
"Ah, Grandpa's awake! Thank you, thank you!" The boy saw his grandfather stir back to consciousness and was overcome with gratitude toward Wei Zhao.
"You're welcome." With that, Wei Zhao turned to leave.
"Wait... young man..." The old man reached out a hand and called after him.
"Is there something else?" Wei Zhao turned his head and asked.
"Young man, you have a fine medical touch," the old man said.
"Heh... I know a little," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
"Young man, would you like to learn more advanced medical knowledge?" the old man asked suddenly.
"More advanced medical knowledge?" Wei Zhao was taken aback for a moment. "Where would I learn?"
"With me," the old man said.
"I'm sorry, I still have to sit my exam." Wei Zhao smiled and shook his head, not taking the old man's words to heart. The man had collapsed from heatstroke himself -- how could Wei Zhao believe he understood medicine? Even if he did, Wei Zhao already had Old Master Wei, that divine physician, right here; there was no need for him to learn from anyone else.
"Ah..." The old man looked disappointed. With his grandson's support, he stood up. "Then go take your exam first. I'll wait for you here!"
