Chapter 31 The Old Man Selling Salted Fish

  First, he treated Zizi, and then refined the elixir and equipment. In total, it took quite some time. Wu Rui didn't continue to stay in the clinic, but instead returned directly to his rental house with a thought. He picked up the large-screen mobile phone by the bed and saw that it was already past 9 o'clock in the morning. So he got out of bed, washed up, put on his long gown, shouldered the light and airy Taoist backpack, and went out the door.

  Now that the trouble had been resolved, Wu Rui naturally returned to his own stall, only to find that Old Man Chen had already set up shop early on. This made Wu Rui feel strange, because Old Man Chen usually didn't start selling until the afternoon. Why was he so early today? Moreover, Wu Rui also keenly noticed that he wasn't in good spirits.

  "Wu Rui, brother?" At this time, Old Man Chen also discovered Wu Rui and hastily rushed over, pulling Wu Rui to the side of the road before anxiously saying: "Wu Rui, brother, why are you still here? If the police find out, won't they come to catch you? Hurry up and leave!"

  At the same time as saying this, Old Man Chen also wanted to forcibly push Wu Rui away, but he didn't budge.

  "Cough, cough... I'm telling you, Old Chen, even if you don't welcome me, there's no need to drive me away, is there?" Wu Rui couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, but seeing that the other person still had a look of urgency on his face, he added an explanation: "The police have already withdrawn the case, yesterday's incident was just a misunderstanding."

  "Huh... The police dropped the case? That's great!" Old Man Chen was shocked upon hearing this, and then let out a sigh of relief. Yesterday afternoon when he came to set up his stall, he heard that Wu Rui had gotten into trouble, and he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Not to mention that his own wife's illness hadn't been cured yet, just the relationship between the two men alone made Old Man Chen not want Wu Rui to get into trouble.

  Wu Rui patted Chen Lao's shoulder and walked back to the stall with him, hanging out his own signboard as he went. After tidying up the four characters "Miao Shou Ji Shi" (Wonderful Hands Saving the World), he nodded in satisfaction.

  "I asked Wu Rui brothers, what's going on yesterday?" At this time, the old man Chen next to him couldn't hold back his curiosity and came forward to ask.

  "Hey, nothing much, wasn't it just the other day that we kicked out that rich second generation? He's looking for trouble now!" Wu Rui explained indifferently.

  "Hmm..." Old Man Chen was drenched in cold sweat as he suddenly discovered that this divine doctor had a tendency towards violence.

  "By the way, Old Man Chen, how's your wife?" Wu Rui interrupted to ask.

  "Haha……" Hearing Wu Rui ask this, Old Man Chen suddenly revealed a hearty smile and said: "Brother Wu Rui's medical skills are unmatched, the treatment effect is also immediate, my wife now even wants to get out of bed and walk, but Brother Wu Rui said it would take a week, so I don't dare let her get out of bed."

  Wu Rui was not surprised, but upon hearing this, he smiled and said: "Actually, the problem with her foot has been mostly resolved. The reason I'm letting her walk on the ground a week later is that it takes some time for the bones and muscles to recover. Otherwise, it's easy to get hurt."

  Old Chen nodded repeatedly, now he deeply believed in Wu Rui's words.

  Wu Rui felt that the atmosphere today was a bit strange. As soon as he set up his stall, he felt many suspicious gazes cast on him. At first, he was taken aback, but then he thought of yesterday's events and relaxed, forcing a bitter smile without saying anything.

  At this time, a sixty-year-old old man walked over and asked tentatively: "Wu Rui, can you treat lumbar spondylosis?"

  The old man is selling salted fish at a stall in the central market, suffering from lumbar spondylosis for many years. He has seen many doctors, used plasters, taken Chinese medicine and had steroid injections, with some effect, but after treatment, he was fine for a short time, only to relapse repeatedly and be unable to fully recover.

  Bone hyperplasia is a disease that many people have, especially in rural areas. Half of the elderly farmers will get this disease, and when it hurts, it's unbearable. It also affects their work. However, farmers can't avoid lifting and moving things, and wanting to rest and recover from the illness is hopeless. As a result, the condition gets worse and worse, making one turn pale at the mere mention of it.

  Yesterday, Wu Rui's amazing performance was seen by the old man, who felt that this young man should have some skills, otherwise why would those from the Health Bureau go crazy? So today, when he saw Wu Rui setting up his stall again, he went forward with great expectation to ask him a few questions.

  "Of course! Naturally!" Seeing a patient coming to the door, Wu Rui was naturally delighted and pulled over a chair from Old Man Chen's side to invite the old man to take a seat.

  Wu Rui was so polite that it made the old man feel a bit uncomfortable, yesterday he was like a god of killing, today he was extremely courteous, the huge contrast made the old man somewhat unaccustomed to it, but still thanked him repeatedly and sat down in front of Wu Rui.

  Wu Rui is now somewhat famous in the central market, and whenever someone comes to him for treatment, it attracts a crowd of onlookers. As more people join in, the crowd grows larger, because Chinese people are notorious for loving to watch a commotion!

  Wu Rui was also pleased to see this, and in order to make a name for himself, he naturally had to carry out the treatment perfectly. He immediately said to the old man in front of him: "Sir, let me take a look at your waist bone."

  "Alright!" The old man didn't show any shame, and in front of everyone, he took off his upper garment, revealing his thin and bony back.

  Wu Rui gently pressed on the surface with his hand and soon found the location of the problem, which was at the fifth lumbar vertebra, a part that bears the most weight when lifting things. Bone hyperplasia is actually a kind of joint disease, characterized by deformation and loosening of the bones, and the old man's case was bone loosening with some aging. When the disease occurs, it can cause dizziness, severe waist pain, and even bending down is difficult, let alone heavy work like lifting things.

  Of course, in order to show his professionalism, Wu Rui lightly pressed the affected area and asked: "Sir, is it painful here?"

  "Huh? Wu Rui, you're amazing!" The old man felt surprised at the moment. He had seen many Chinese medicine doctors before, because Chinese medicine has made some achievements in bone hyperplasia, but those doctors couldn't find out where the problem was, they all asked him first. Western medicine requires taking a film to confirm, but this young doctor just touched a few times and actually found the specific location, making it impossible for the old man not to feel amazed.

  "It seems Wu Rui's medical skills are quite extraordinary!"

  "Isn't it? Yesterday, that group of officials were pissing their pants with fear, just looking at them was enjoyable."

  The people around heard the old man's words and immediately began to discuss them, and even actively introduced some of the audience who didn't see it yesterday, with mouths agape and cries of surprise rising up.

  Wu Rui was delighted, and someone was even doing free advertising for him. He naturally felt happy, but still kept a serious face as he took out a package of ordinary silver needles from the Taoist's bag. At the same time, he explained: "Sir, you only need one needle therapy to cure your illness, now just relax."

  "Hmm!" Although somewhat skeptical of Wu Rui's words, Grandfather still nodded heavily to indicate that he understood.

  There were so many free advertisements around, Wu Rui deliberately teased him, and at this time he grabbed a handful of silver needles and quickly inserted them into the old man's back.

  "Wow......" Seeing the old man's back instantly filled with a handful of silver needles, the people around him were all startled, and those who didn't know thought Wu Rui was risking his life!

  However, the old man himself felt inexplicably strange, because he couldn't turn his head to see the situation on his back, and only felt a slight numbness and soreness on his back.

  "Tsk tsk, look at this old man, not even a single wrinkle on his brow, with so many silver needles inserted, doesn't it hurt?"

  "This trick is played beautifully, it's just that watching it makes my eyelids twitch, it's quite mysterious."

  It's really amazing that Grandpa remains unmoved, and it's even more astonishing to hear the surrounding voices of praise and admiration.

  "Huh......?" The old men were shocked by the sound around them, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to take a glance. Seeing the large handful of silver needles on his back, they almost fainted.

  "Haha, don't worry, old man, just relax!" Wu Rui hastily spoke to comfort him, and then secretly transmitted some true yuan through the silver needle. A small waist bone hyperplasia didn't require any special techniques, besides, his own true yuan had a strong healing ability. As the true yuan entered the loose bones, the originally loose bones immediately solidified, and the bone factors quickly recovered their vitality.

  Two or three minutes later, Wu Rui quickly picked up the needle.

  "Hmm... isn't this a bit too fast?" someone nearby muttered.

  "... Wu Rui, is that all?" The old man also asked foolishly.

  "It's fine! If you don't believe me, Grandfather, you can try standing up." Wu Rui said without lifting his head.

  "I'll give it a try!" The old man was skeptical, but he still got up, without much feeling.

  Twisted his body a bit, still didn't feel anything, so he increased the amplitude...

  The old man's smile grew wider and wider, and finally, as he jumped up with a long-unused umbrella dance, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha, Wu Rui, you're really amazing! I didn't feel anything at all when I danced like this, it's fine! It's actually fine! Haha..."
