Village Doctor's Women-Chapter 232: Hand of God 226

"Hey, little one..."

Wang Jian beckoned to Xiao Yuan, signaling her to come over. Han Youzhen and Chairman Kang glanced at Wang Jian, then let the little girl go.

The crowd of onlookers, seeing the young doctor suddenly stop his treatment, assumed he had given up. Why is he calling for the little girl? What could a child possibly do? The murmurs in the crowd grew louder. Some were anxious for the fallen man, others were just spouting nonsense, and a few were simply enjoying the drama.

All sorts of comments flew around, and a few thoughtless ones reached Xiao Yuan’s ears, nearly making her cry again. She fought back the tears welling in her eyes and mumbled, "Doctor brother, my name is Xiao Yuan."

Wang Jian noticed the little girl’s brimming eyes and comforted her in a soft voice, "Xiao Yuan is such a cute name. Do you trust me, Xiao Yuan?"

Xiao Yuan nodded. This brother was very handsome, with beautiful eyes. More importantly, he had an aura that made her feel a sense of kinship, like the feeling of safety she only felt at home with her dad.

Seeing this, Wang Jian smiled and pointed to the badge pinned to her chest. "I need to borrow something to save your dad. Can you lend it to me?"

Xiao Yuan’s mouth opened slightly as she touched the badge on her chest. "This one? Dad gave this to me as a cleverness badge. Can this really save him?"

"Yes."

Without another word, Xiao Yuan began trying to remove the pin. Her hands were too small, however, and she fumbled with the clasp several times without success. Seeing this, Wang Jian stepped in to help.

While unpinning the badge, he called out to the crowd, "Does anyone have a lighter?"

The moment he asked, a man in sunglasses tossed a Zippo lighter into the circle. "Bro, use this."

"Thank you."

Wang Jian thanked the man and returned to the collapsed man’s side. Han Youzhen wisely took Xiao Yuan back into her arms.

Before the crowd could react, Wang Jian detached the pin from the back of Xiao Yuan’s badge and began frantically heating the sharp tip in the lighter’s flame.

Seeing her badge being damaged, Xiao Yuan felt a surge of distress, but she clenched her jaw and held on. The tears that had been on the verge of spilling were held back, not a single one falling. However, her small hands gripped Han Youzhen’s with even more force.

Han Youzhen noticed Xiao Yuan’s reaction. She smiled, patted the girl’s head, and whispered in her ear, "You have to trust this brother. He can definitely do it."

In truth, Wang Jian was old enough to be called ’Uncle.’ However, he looked young for his age. Furthermore, after beginning his Qi Cultivation, his physical state had become much younger and healthier than an ordinary person’s, making him appear about the same age as Chairman Kang and the others. This was why Xiao Yuan had called him ’brother’ from the start.

Hearing Han Youzhen’s words, Xiao Yuan nodded, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on Wang Jian’s every move. Like her, the rest of the onlookers stared, curious as to what this young man was attempting.

"What’s that young fellow doing with a pin?"

"Is he really a doctor? He’d better not make things worse."

"There are just too many quacks these days. They all look so young, about the same age as my kid."

"You’re right. My son is about their age, too. He just started university in the province."

"Don’t tell me they’re just a bunch of university students? This is..."

"Hey, look! He’s piercing the man with the pin! Oh my god, he’s killing him! So much blood!"

Before the words faded, several people who were squeamish about blood quickly turned away, feeling dizzy. It took them a moment to recover.

Chairman Kang and the others also stared wide-eyed, watching Wang Jian’s incredible procedure.

Bloodletting?

Yu Yen and Wang Lei were astounded. From the moment Wang Jian pierced the man’s skin with the flame-sterilized pin, they felt a cold sweat break out on their foreheads, instinctively fearing the worst. Unlike Chairman Kang, they were unaware of Wang Jian’s true capabilities. They were nearly scared to death because this looked like a medical accident. They were just college students without medical licenses. If something went wrong, none of them could bear the responsibility.

Wang Jian kept his hands pressed on the area around the insertion point. As he plunged the pin in, a stream of blood shot out from the wound as if from a breached dam, spraying high into theair and splattering directly onto his face.

In no time, Wang Jian’s face was covered in blood, yet the torrent from the man’s wound gushed out unabated, showing no sign of weakening.

The scene was gruesome and terrifying. Wang Jian’s focused expression, framed by a mask of blood, made him look like a merciless, blood-soaked demon. A few onlookers had started to move forward to stop him, but they froze in their tracks, arrested by Wang Jian’s forbidding appearance.

"Senior Brother... this..." Chairman Kang was also startled by Wang Jian’s expression, his words faltering. Only when Wang Jian frowned did he manage to ask, "Are you performing bloodletting to reduce his blood pressure?"

"Oh, you know about this?"

Wang Jian glanced at Chairman Kang in surprise. My idea actually came from a previous experience with Zhang Li. Seeing the safety pin on the child’s chest immediately gave me the idea for bloodletting.

As it turned out, his idea was a good one. After starting the bloodletting, he could see the man’s condition visibly improving. The people sent to fetch medicine from the scenic area still hadn’t returned. If he had waited any longer, it would have been too late.

Upon hearing Wang Jian’s affirmative response, the shock on Chairman Kang’s face didn’t lessen in the slightest. Instead, it grew even more profound. I’ve only heard of this method at home. I recall my elders’ exact words: "This technique of bloodletting to reduce pressure can only be used by someone with extremely advanced surgical skills, or if the medical conditions of the time provide the necessary support. Bloodletting itself is simple. The real problem is stopping the bleeding afterward and stabilizing the patient’s vital signs."

They were in a scenic area with no proper equipment, yet Wang Jian had dared to use this method. And from his expression, he was completely confident, as if he had already succeeded.

"I’ve heard my family talk about it, but I’ve never seen it done," Chairman Kang said. "After the bloodletting, we don’t have the necessary facilities here. How will you handle the aftermath?"

Wang Jian gave Chairman Kang another look, feeling somewhat pleased. This is the first time since I started mentoring him that I’ve seen him think about the long-term consequences.

However, what was a problem for others was no problem at all for Wang Jian. His Qi could maintain the man’s vital signs and rapidly staunch the bleeding. None of the things Chairman Kang worried about would happen.

Wang Jian gestured for Chairman Kang to watch. "Your thinking is correct, but first, watch..."

With that, he pressed down on the relevant acupoints near the wound, on the side closer to the heart. He gathered his Qi in his fingertips, and within moments, the man’s bleeding stopped completely.

Yu Yen and Wang Lei, who had crept closer, were still trembling with apprehension. But when they saw Wang Jian’s technique, they gasped, "Stopping the bleeding with his bare hands..."

This technique was known in surgery, but to locate a subcutaneous blood vessel from outside the body with such nonchalance was something only a handful of people could do. Yu Yen and Wang Lei exchanged a look, a shared thought in their minds. Can any top-tier surgeon really do that? It’s as if he has CT scanners for eyes.

Incredible!

But that wasn’t all. After wiping the blood from around the wound, Wang Jian pressed on it with a single finger. A moment later, Chairman Kang and his two roommates stood gaping as they watched Wang Jian clap his hands clean, stand up, and pay no more mind to the man on the ground. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The three of them looked at Xiao Yuan’s father with puzzled expressions and were stunned.

"He’s all better now?"

The wound was no longer bleeding, not even without pressure being applied. The man’s flushed complexion had also improved significantly. The sharp-eyed Chairman Kang even noticed that the man’s chest was rising and falling at a normal rhythm.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian had squatted down in front of Xiao Yuan. He returned the badge and pin to her and, with his face still covered in blood, offered a terrifying ’grin.’ "Your daddy has to thank your pin, Xiao Yuan. It was this pin that saved your daddy’s life."

Xiao Yuan, who had been clinging to Han Youzhen’s hand, was a little scared of Wang Jian’s bloody grin. But upon hearing his words, she asked timidly, "Is my daddy saved?"

Wang Jian nodded. He wiped the blood from his hands before patting Xiao Yuan’s head, his tone full of certainty. "That’s right. You have to believe your doctor brother; your daddy is definitely going to be okay. Ah, no... he’s already okay."

A hypertensive crisis is a sudden event. As long as the patient makes it through the critical period, they can recover. With Wang Jian’s intervention, Xiao Yuan’s father’s blood pressure had stabilized, and he was slowly regaining consciousness.

No sooner had Wang Jian finished speaking than a shout came from behind him.
