A few more minutes passed when a middle-aged woman rushed in, her hair disheveled and sweat beading on her forehead. She clutched a boy over two years old in her arms. The child's face was pale and contorted in pain.
"Doctor, help! My baby is choking on something..." she cried, her voice choked with desperation.
Without a word, Ye Tian took the child, quickly examined him, and then laid him flat on the table. He extended his index and middle fingers and pressed gently on the child's sternum.
A subtle force penetrated, and with a "poof," the little boy expelled a sticky, colorful candy, about the size of a peanut.
"Wah!" The child immediately burst into tears, crying for his grandmother to hold him.
The middle-aged woman was overjoyed. She hugged her grandson tightly, "My darling, don't be scared, it's alright now!"
After comforting the child, she repeatedly bowed to Ye Tian, "Thank you, Doctor. You are truly a Bodhisattva descended to earth. May heaven bless you!"
Ye Tian smiled, "You're welcome. Be more careful in the future and don't give the child this kind of candy."
"Yes, yes, I'll remember," the woman said, expressing her profound gratitude before leaving.
Yan Lizhi's eyes lit up. He quickly asked, "Elder Xu, what kind of technique is that?" He had been practicing medicine for decades and had never seen anything like it, so he couldn't help but ask.
Xu Wen smiled, "I'm not sure either. You'll have to ask Divine Doctor Ye."
Yan Lizhi chuckled, "Doctor Ye, could you tell me about your technique?"
Ye Tian replied, "This technique requires some martial arts background."
As Yan Lizhi was about to ask more, a little girl, just over five years old, entered. Her teeth were clenched, her face was pale, and her forehead was covered in fine sweat. A young man carried her in, his voice trembling with tears, "Doctor, please save my daughter!"
Ye Tian observed her for a moment and asked, "Tell me what happened."
The young man quickly described the incident. His family lived in the residential complex directly opposite the Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital. The little girl had been playing with other children in the complex when she accidentally fell into a manhole. The other children called for adults, who quickly rescued the girl.
However, for some unknown reason, the little girl remained in this state, unresponsive to any calls.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter? Is she in danger?" As the girl's father, the man looked worried and extremely anxious.
Ye Tian said, "It's nothing, she's just been startled."
He extended his index finger and gently pressed a few times on the girl's glabella. Then, he took out his immortal needles and inserted seven needles at several acupoints.
In less than three minutes, the little girl's clenched jaw slowly relaxed. Her eyelids fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes. Upon seeing her father, she began to cry, her little face filled with a sense of grievance, her large eyes still brimming with fear.
The man was overjoyed. He thanked Ye Tian repeatedly and hugged his daughter tightly, saying, "It's okay now."
After their emotions had calmed, Ye Tian asked the little girl, "Little girl, what did you see in the well?"
The girl's face turned pale, and she said, "Uncle, I saw a big rat, a really, really big rat! It was coming to bite me!"
Everyone exchanged glances. There was a large rat in the well.
Ye Tian said, "It's okay, I'll catch the rat later and teach it a good lesson."
The little girl nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Uncle."
The girl's father asked, "Doctor, does she need to take any medicine afterwards?"
Ye Tian replied, "I'll prescribe a calming formula. Go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. After taking it for a week, the child will recover."
The man repeatedly agreed and left with the prescription Ye Tian had written.
At this point, Yan Lizhi understood that the young man before him was no ordinary person! But he remained composed, continuing to observe, wanting to know the extent of Ye Tian's medical skills.
Shortly after, another young mother, in her early twenties, entered carrying a baby boy just over a year old. The baby's complexion was not good, and he was coughing incessantly.
The woman registered and, placing her medical card down, sat with her child at the desk.
Ye Tian asked, "What's wrong with the child?"
