Chapter 45: Clapping Hands for Health Preservation

  Qiu Tingxuan had too many things on his mind, including his father's illness, the imperial examination next year, and how to take care of his fellow students and contact his father's former disciples. All these were crucial for his future career, and he couldn't afford to make a single mistake, with so many complicated relationships involved.

  His father was a renowned scholar, and as his son, he appeared to be in a favorable position, but in reality, the pressure on his shoulders was also extremely heavy. Others would spend ten years studying and be called "ten years of hard work", take the imperial examination, and if they didn't pass one subject, there was still another chance, whereas Qiu Tingxuan had to study for over twenty years, not for anything else, but just to ensure that he passed with flying colors, and his ranking couldn't be at the bottom, otherwise, it would be a loss of face for his father. How could the son of a renowned scholar not pass the examination? How could he not get high marks? It was really too difficult!

  If I were born into an ordinary family, I wonder if I would be so tired? Qiu Tingxuan sighed and looked up at the pedestrians on the street, thinking to himself: "Ordinary people are troubled by food and clothing, perhaps they live even more tiring lives. I have no worries about food or clothing, and I have a bright future ahead of me, yet here I am indulging in wild thoughts, it's really not right. If Father were to find out, he would surely scold me again!

  He took a deep breath and strode forward, but after walking a few steps, he slapped his forehead. Earlier, he had been so caught up in his wild thoughts that his mind was a complete muddle, and before he knew it, he had taken a wrong turn. Wasn't this the city gate? If he went any further, he would be out of the city!

  Qiu Tingxuan thought: "I really think too much, my brain is a bit muddled!" He turned around and wanted to go back.

  Qiu Tingxuan is who, that is a famous figure in Xuzhou City. Even if others don't respect him, they have to respect his father Qiu Wenpu. The city gate guard saw Master Qiu coming and hurriedly went forward to greet him.

  The captain of the guard came over with a smile and said: "Ah, isn't this Master Qiu? You're free today, are you going out of town on business?"

  Qiu Tingxuan's face turned red, he didn't want to say that he had taken a wrong turn because he was thinking too much, so he casually replied: "I'm not leaving the city, just taking a walk, I've been reading books all day and feeling a bit stuffy!"

  After finishing speaking, his habit of indulging in wild fancies came back again. In his heart, he secretly thought: "What's the point? I'm explaining this to a low-ranking soldier like him. This person is also being too nosy, having nothing better to do, coming over here trying to get close to me!"

  How did the captain of the guard know what he was thinking, looking at the medicine package in his hand, and said with concern: "Is Master Qiu uncomfortable? Ah, if you have a disease, find Ping'an Xiao Shenyi, it's guaranteed that the medicine will cure the disease. In our Xuzhou, he is number one, even the saint doctor is willing to admit defeat, can you say that Ping'an Xiao Shenyi is not awesome?"

  It's Ping'an Xiaoyi again! Qiu Tingxuan hummed and asked, "I didn't know that our Xuzhou City had a famous doctor. How did even Mr. Cheng...and he cross swords with him in medical skills?"

  As soon as this was mentioned, the captain of the city guards became cheerful. In the past few days, he had helped a lot with hanging big baskets on the city walls and below. He smiled and said: "This matter, I know it like the back of my hand! Qiu Gongzi, you're asking the right person!"

  "This guy is so long-winded!"

  "The little god of peace, the young doctor, does not live in the city, but lives outside the city..." The captain of the guard team recounted what had happened a few days ago, and when he talked about Hamiti breaking into the door, he led his troops to capture people at the entrance of Jisheng Hall, it was vividly described, with every detail accurate!

  Qiu Tingxuan listened, and a fire ignited in his heart. Cheng Ji's behavior was truly baffling. Since they knew such a good doctor, why didn't they mention it earlier? It was simply unreasonable that not a single word was said about it!

  Actually, Cheng Jisheng was able to praise Wang Ping'an in front of Hamiti and many people that night, which is already a very high moral character. After all, it's hard for ordinary people to praise someone who has lost face to themselves! But if he were to meet people and advertise for Wang Ping'an, constantly flattering him, then either he had an ulterior motive or he was a great sage. However, Cheng Jisheng had no ulterior motives and was not a saint, so there was no way he would do that. Of course, even saints wouldn't be bored enough to flatter others for no reason.

  Qiu Tingxuan was a bit annoyed in his heart, but after thinking about it briefly, he also understood this point. It's normal for Cheng Jisheng not to mention Wang Ping'an, and since his father wasn't suffering from any serious illness, Cheng Jisheng wouldn't introduce another doctor to treat him.

  Alas, what's wrong with me? Why do I always look at others with disapproval? Qiu Tingxuan shook his head and bid farewell to the captain of the guard, returning home to decoct medicine for Qiu Xunpu.

  Wu Li Village. Wang Ping'an found that in the past few days, most of the people who came to see a doctor or ask for medicine were either elderly or children, with various illnesses, but none of them were too serious, except for a few cases, and most could be cured with just a few doses of medicine.

  Sitting in front of the table in the courtyard, he said to a woman with a sad face holding a young child: "Your child's illness is just infantile anorexia, it's not as serious as you think, this child will grow up well under your care, don't worry!"

  The woman said: "But this child is always not eating well, sometimes vomiting, and has lost a lot of weight in recent days."

  "Don't worry, it's just a slight stomach upset!" Wang Ping'an comforted warmly, but didn't write a prescription. He patted the child's small hand and told the woman, "Not even medicine is needed. You go home and buy some hawthorn fruit, wash and remove the seeds, then add water and simmer over low heat... yeah, use a small flame to boil it until half of the liquid is left, then serve it to the child to drink, one small spoonful at a time, three times a day. If you do this for ten days in a row, the illness will be cured."

  The woman was about to take her leave when she heard a pretty little girl behind Wang Ping'an say, "We have hawthorn at home. I'll go get some for this young aunt." The speaker was none other than Ding Danruo.

  Wang Ping'an turned back and smiled: "Take a bit more, adults love to eat it too."

  Before long, Ding Dan ran back, carrying a small basket full of hawthorns. Wang Ping'an kept a few and gave the rest to the woman, who thanked him repeatedly and left with her child.

  Wang Ping'an was about to continue seeing the patient when he saw Yang coming out from inside. He said, "Mother, did I disturb you?" These past few days, there were many people at home and sometimes it was unavoidable that their voices would be a bit louder, so he was afraid of disturbing his mother.

  Yang shook her head and walked to the table. Ke Lianwu saw Madame Yang arrive, and hastily moved a high stool for her. After Yang sat down, she said: "It's not that serious, Mother likes lively scenes. But these past few days I've been feeling unwell, maybe I'm sick, son quickly take a look at me."

  "Wang Ping'an hastily said: 'Mother, what's wrong with you?' He quickly took his mother's pulse and then did a thorough examination. After the examination, Wang Ping'an said: 'Mother, you're not sick at all, you're fine, there's nothing wrong with you!'"

  Yang said: "Really? But I just don't feel comfortable!"

  Wang Ping thought to himself, "Maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but everything at home is fine, there's nothing worth worrying about!" After thinking for a moment, he said, "Mother, let me teach you a method that you can do every day to nourish your health."

  He stood up, stretched out his hand and said: "Mother, look, ten fingers of both hands are open, the finger pads must be facing each other, use a little force to clap, it's best to walk while clapping." He walked in circles in the courtyard, clapping his hands loudly.

  Yang looked at him with a smile and asked: "Ping'an, what are you doing? Can clapping hands really promote health? Anyone can clap their hands."

  King Ping'an smiled and said, "Clapping hands can cure all diseases, it's also good for health, and you don't have to spend money. Every day, half an hour before or after meals, clap your hands 200 times, and the five internal organs will be adjusted!"

  The palms have reflex zones of internal organs, so during the process of clapping hands, it can adjust the five zang and six fu organs, simple and practical.

  Yang stood up and imitated his actions, walking and clapping along the way. The two little girls saw this and couldn't help but follow Yang's lead, also clapping along behind him.

  Inside and outside the hospital, there were many common people coming to see the doctor. Seeing this family clapping non-stop, they heard that it could also nourish their health. Although they were half-believing and half-doubting, clapping was all they did, so they followed suit and started learning too, walking and clapping at the same time. In an instant, the Wang family's mansion was filled with applause.

  Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Ping'an Xiao Shenyi, is this okay? I feel like my hands are sore from clapping!"
