Chapter 30: Cupping Therapy

Pop! Wen Wen unfolded his folding fan and fanned himself.

“Medicine can be eaten indiscriminately, but you mustn’t make irresponsible remarks!”

“Then, why do you want these kindness points for?”

Wen Wen never imagined Su Mian would react so quickly. The people before her were never this shrewd.

“I also noticed something else.”

“What?”

“I had just learned how to deal with epilepsy yesterday, but I was already forced to make use of it today. Before that, after I helped to wrap up Da Hua’s wounds, I was again made to wrap Xiao Liu Zi’s wound. Let me ask you, does the medicine tower have the ability to make predictions?”

“Dang! Su Mian, you were able to notice that? You are truly the smartest owner that I have met!”

Wen Wen’s face was smittened as he bowed towards Su Mian.

So it was like that.

She had been wondering why there was so much coincidence. It appeared that the medicine tower could predict the illnesses that were going to happen around her.

“However, you should not believe everything. There are some similar illnesses that the tower itself cannot differentiate. Don’t say that I did not warn you!”

“You still haven’t told me what you’re using kindness points for?”

“Then I’ll tell you the truth. Kindness points are my life force. You are maintaining my life!”

Su Mian did not pay any more attention to him. She took the cups and entered the room. Her father was about to wear some clothes and get up.

“Father, you are still not well. Where are you going?” Su Mian quickly helped Su Jiang Hai lie back down again.

“How can I simply stay lying down? I still have so many orders that I haven’t done yet!” Su Jiang Hai let out a long sigh. His daughter helped him think of a way to earn money but he could not work. They had even accepted down payments. How were they going to continue?

Su Mian knew his worries, “Father, you should rest first. Let me do cupping therapy on you for a few days. Although it won’t permanently cure you, there should be no problem for you to work normally,” Su Mian arranged the chill expelling cups and the acupuncture diagram.

“Daughter, will that work?” Su Jiang Hai had seen cupping therapy with glass cups before. It was done by lighting up a small piece of paper inside the glass cup, but doing so would usually cause burnt wounds. A lot of people had been burned, causing blisters on their bodies. Moreover, the glass cups would easily explode and injure people. As a result, many people were not willing to have cupping therapy unless it was their last resort to deal with the pain.

“Father, wouldn’t you know unless you try. For this one, you need to be cupped three times a day for three days.”

Su Jiang Hai lied down properly. Su Mian pressed on the acupuncture points and began cupping. After 10 minutes, Su Mian removed the cups, “Father, try moving around and see if you feel better.” 

Su Jiang Hai wore his clothes and sat up, “Oh my. Daughter, you truly are divine. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Su Mian smiled, “This is only temporary relief. You should pay attention to not get chilled any more in the next few days. You must continue this therapy every day, and it should be all well after a few days.”

How could Su Jiang Hai not listen to her, “Daughter, you are truly our house’s small miracle doctor!” He had previously heard He Qin say that his daughter had gone to Old Xiao’s house and saved Lao Wu. Lao Wu’s epilepsy had recurred and no one dared to step forward. It appeared that his daughter had not wasted her time reading the books from the county library.

At night, Su Mian brought some carrots into the tower space. When Da Hua and Xiao Hua saw the carrots, they quickly ran over and intimately hugged Su Mian’s leg.

After feeding them, Su Mian continued with her mission and reading medical books. When she came out in the morning, her physical points were now 48, kindness points were at 5, and spiritual energy at 8.

Her current goal was to reach 30 points in spiritual energy. That way, she could use the pulse diagnosis skill and prescribe medicine.

Today was the 10th of the twelfth lunar month. It was the day of their neighbor Liu Da’s marriage. He Qin and Su Jiang Hai went to attend the banquet. Su Jin Long had gone to help serve the dishes.

Su Mian remembered in her previous life that Liu Da had been married to a lady from the neighboring province of Sheng Valley. She was an expert worker. In the end, Liu Da’s family had switched to relying on raising pigs. The two of them gave birth to a son and a daughter, making their days especially blissful.
