An Descendant?
The corners of Qin Xi’s mouth twitched. She thought to herself, “Grandpa, aren’t you saying this too early?”
Not to mention the fact that she and Han Shi had been sleeping in separate rooms, even if they had to sleep together, they had to nurture their relationship first. It was impossible for the two of them to have children immediately.
Besides, she still had a lot of things to do. Having a child wasn’t her priority in this life.
Qin Xi helped Han Dazhu to the courtyard to rest. She said with a smile, “Grandpa, let’s go to the courtyard. I’ve made some poultice for you. I’ll put them on your legs later. I’ll borrow a set of acupuncture needles from Doctor Liu to give you acupuncture. In less than five days, you can walk without a walking stick.”
“Hahahahaha, good, good. Thank you, Xi. Sigh, I didn’t expect that I would be so lucky to have you as my granddaughter-in-law!” Han Dazhu laughed with tears in his eyes.
Qin Xi applied the poultice on Han Dazhu’s injured leg. At first, it was just the heat on the surface. Gradually, Han Dazhu realized that his leg was getting hotter and hotter.
Qin Xi looked at Han Dazhu expectantly. “How is it, Grandpa? How do you feel?”
“It’s hot and itchy! What’s going on?”
“Grandpa, don’t worry. The cold in your body is too strong, and this poultice will suck out all the cold. The reason why it’s itchy is that the poultice has already taken effect. When this feeling disappears, there will be a pain like being pricked by needles. However, don’t worry, the pain will only last for about 20 minutes. After that, you are good for acupuncture treatment.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. As long as I can recover, I can even endure 20 days of pain, let alone 20 minutes,” Han Dazhu said happily.
Qin Xi stood up and said, “Alright, I’ll go to Doctor Liu to borrow the needles and help you get rid of the poultice when I come back.”
“Alright, go!”
Qin Xi visited Liu Dequan and explained her purpose of coming. Liu Dequan took out a brand new set of acupuncture needles and gave it to her. “Here, I bought this half a month ago. Although it’s not especially good, it does the job.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Liu.” Qin Xi took it and thanked him sincerely.
“You’re welcome. But are you going to perform acupuncture on Han Dazhu now? Can I watch by the side?” Liu Dequan rubbed his hands in excitement.
Qin Xi smiled and said, “Of course! Didn’t I say that if you want to learn, I’m more than happy to teach you?”
“Really?” Liu Dequan was overjoyed.
Qin Xi smiled and said, “Of course, why should I lie to you?”
Actually, when she inherited the medical skills, she had never thought of keeping it all to herself. No one knew better than her that in the future, Chinese medicine would become just a legend in the eyes of others.
She was an ordinary person in her previous life and did not have great ambitions, but now, with this extraordinary skill bestowed upon her, she wanted to use it to do what she could. If possible, she also wanted to bring this traditional skill to its former glory.
Of course, the reason why she would teach Liu Dequan was also because she believed in his characters. To a certain extent, she still had to rely on Liu Dequan to make the rest of the villagers believe her.
Therefore, there was no need for her to hide anything from Liu Dequan.
When the two of them returned, Han Dazhu greeted happily, “Doctor Liu, you’re here too!”
Liu Dequan said enviously, “Yes, I’m here to learn from Xi. Brother Han, your family is really lucky!”
Han Dazhu laughed heartily. “Hahahaha, that’s right. It’s our Han family’s fortune to have a granddaughter-in-law like Xi!”
Qin Xi smiled awakardly.
