The Sweetest Medicine

Yu Gangan led the old man home and sat him down on the sofa. She then poured him a glass of warm water and went upstairs to get her medicine box.

The old man took a sip of water and looked around the room without leaving a trace.

The old man glanced at the female bodyguard standing on the side and smiled subconsciously. Then, he took another sip of water. When he put the cup on the coffee table, he felt a little panicked.

He looked down the stairs. Yu Gangan had been holding onto her medicine chest for a long time, so why wasn’t she coming down yet?

The old man was obviously a little restless. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Yu Gangan came down with her medicine box.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting,”she said apologetically.

Yu Gangan jogged down, placed the box on the coffee table, and opened it. She then explained the reason for the delay,””I forgot to pack up for yesterday’s practice, and I didn’t know where to put my needle bag. I’ve been looking for it for a long time.”

She took out the needle bag and put it aside.””I’ll take your pulse before the acupuncture. It’ll be more effective if you use both the decoction and acupuncture.”

“Thank you, miss Yu,” the old man said as he sat down.

Yu Gangan sat down across from the old man and placed three of her middle fingers on his hand as she began to take his pulse.

A few minutes later, Yu Gangan retracted her hand and furrowed her brows,””Old man, the reason why your leg hurts so badly when it rains is because it was injured a long time ago. This injury should have been around seventeen or eighteen years ago.”

A trace of shock flashed through the old man’s eyes. Although there was no change in his expression, he clenched his fist and placed it on his thigh.”Just by checking her pulse, you can find out about her old injuries?”

“The rise and fall of the internal organs, channels, and collaterals of the entire body can be reflected from the meridians. Ordinary old Chinese medicine practitioners can do it.” Yu Gangan smiled slightly and continued to explain his condition,””Your injury wasn’t properly treated at the time, so it’s left with hidden dangers. It’s fine normally, but it hurts when it rains or storms. And as you get older, the pain will become more intense. May I ask how you got injured?”

He seemed to be talking about the old man’s sad story, and his body stiffened a little. He took a sip of water to calm himself down.

“About seventeen years ago, I was beaten up by someone. At that time, there was a special reason, so I started working before I was cured. That’s how I managed to recover.” He looked at Yu Gangan and paused for a moment before asking,””Can it be cured?”

“I don’t think it’s possible to completely cure it. You’ve been taking too long. But, after treatment, it definitely won’t be as painful as it is now,” Yu Gangan replied.

“That’s good,”the old man smiled.

That was enough.

He had already given up hope on his old injury, so he simply followed Yu Gangan to relieve the pain.

In the past, it was just a little painful, and he could bear with it. But in the past two years, he was often in so much pain that he couldn’t even walk. He had to bear with the heart-piercing pain after taking a few steps.

It was not that he had not seen a doctor before, but there was no way to cure it.

In the beginning, she could only take painkiller to relieve the pain, but after half a year, she had become immune to painkiller, and even taking painkiller couldn’t suppress the pain.

“There’s no acupuncture bed at home. You can lie down on the sofa.” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

“Alright,” he said. The old man replied with a smile. He then bent down to pull up the corner of his pants. He looked forward and saw leather shoes not far away.

It wasn’t yu Gangan ‘s, it was the female bodyguard’ s.
