  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  I Ching has finally become a real idle person.

  The physical examination activity of the nursing home is scheduled to start at 8 am. For this reason, the nursing home also specially prepared a light breakfast for the elderly who came to participate in the physical examination. The elderly have poor appetite compared to young people and got up early, so they need to supplement their diet at this time.

  For this, Master Hong also got up early and cooked a big pot of porridge. As a result, an old man didn't come, but Zhou Yi benefited from it.

  "Master Zhou, try some of this corn congee, it's nourishing."

  Since the long table banquet, Master Hong no longer calls him Little Zhou, but instead addresses him as Master Zhou when they meet. This makes Zhou Yi feel a bit embarrassed to go to the cafeteria for meals; Fortunately, Master Hong is a decent person who not only keeps Zhou Yi's culinary skills confidential but also doesn't behave like some people who kowtow to famous masters and try to curry favor with them. If the master doesn't accept him as an apprentice, he won't resort to kneeling in the rain or other melodramatic behavior, and hasn't bothered Zhou Yi because of this.

  Zhou Yi would occasionally offer some advice, and when he went to the cafeteria for meals, he would point out a few things to Chef Hong. For someone like Chef Hong who had been cooking for over a decade, his skills were already set in stone, and it was impossible for him to become a culinary master; however, Zhou Yi's occasional pointers were always spot on, hitting the nail on the head, and allowing Chef Hong to have an epiphany, as if he had suddenly gained enlightenment.

  This is what they call 'true transmission in a single sentence, false transmission in ten thousand scrolls'. With Zhou Yi's guidance as the current kitchen god, and Hong Tie Niu's innate talent, he made rapid progress, and now has a level equivalent to that of a second-grade chef.

  Now Master Hong really regards Zhou Yi as a teacher, so it's naturally not suitable to call him Little Zhou anymore.

  "Master Zhou......" Hong Tie Niu lowered his voice and glanced at Li Yuan Fang and Wang Jing Zi who were standing far away talking: "You can leave after sitting for a while, those old people won't come anyway..."

  "I've told you before, but you still call me Little Zhou. Master Hong, if you keep calling me that, I'll really get angry."

  Zhou Yi furrowed his brow: "It can't be that serious, right? Even if you're avoiding medical treatment, it shouldn't be this severe. And this is a free physical examination, they don't even charge money."

  "It's not because of......"

  Hong Tie Niu was just about to reveal Zhang Lao Liu's matter when a hurried footsteps came, and a group of people rushed into the small square of the nursing home. The two leaders were Er Duan Zi and Li Da Zhuang, followed by several women.

  Those old men didn't follow, they're all gathered at Li Dazhuang's house making a fuss and helping Li Dazhuang's wife stop the bleeding.

  "Uncle, quickly get in your car and follow me, save me!"

  The two drunkards had the loudest voices and started shouting as soon as they were a dozen meters away from Zhou Yi.

  "Second Brother, how can you speak to your Uncle Zhou like that, without respect for elders or youngers?"

  Li Yuanfang was already in a bad mood, and when he saw Erzi and Li Dazhuang bringing several women to run over, he became even more furious and scolded them as soon as they arrived.

  "Dad, I'm here to save lives..."

  The two silly men spoke disjointedly about what had happened, but Li Dazhuang rushed straight to the front of Dr. Zhou: "Doctor Zhou, quickly save my wife..."

  "Zhou, little brother, this is a matter for women, if you can't handle it, then get in your car and send her to the hospital..."

  Li Yuanfang was also afraid that Zhou Yi would get into a fight and cause another lawsuit.

  "Don't drive, you drunkard, lead the way for me!"

  Life is at stake, and there's no time to waste. Grabbing Er Bai's arm tightly, he burst into a sprint, like a hundred-meter flying man, and zoomed out in an instant.

  The two silly kids were so scared that they shouted in disarray: "Uncle, slow down, I'm dizzy..."

  Zhou Yi grasped the two drunkards with one hand, and his speed suddenly accelerated to within 10 seconds of 100 meters. Li Dazhuang ran until he was panting heavily, but still couldn't catch up to him. Fortunately, everyone at this moment was focused on rescuing people, so no one noticed that Zhou Yi's speed had already broken the world track and field record.

  From the nursing home to Li Dazhuang's house, it was about two miles away. Zhou Yi arrived in just over a minute, and when he rushed into the yard with Er Langzi, it was like a whirlwind.

  After entering the room, I only saw a few old ladies holding gauze and fragrant ash to stop the bleeding of the woman lying on the bed. The blood was really flowing a lot, and half of the bedside was soaked wet.

  "Everybody get out of the way, let me handle it!"

  With a flick of his wrist, Zhou Yi swiftly purchased a set of 'Hua Tuo's Divine Needles' from the system store for a total of RMB 200,000. He took out two needles and inserted them into two acupoints on Li Jia's wife's lower body.

  With just these two needles inserted, the speed of Li's wife's bleeding slowed down at a visible rate, and finally miraculously stopped flowing out.

  These two needles take effect so quickly, of course, there is the reason for the high skill of Zhou Yi's recognition of acupoints and accurate technique, and also the effect of Hua Tuo's divine needle, any needling method, with an added effectiveness of five!

  "The bleeding has stopped, Doctor Zhou is really something..."

  Several old ladies cheered up instantly.

  "Everyone lend a hand and clear away the gauze and herbs from her lower body. I'll help with the delivery."

  Zhou Yi walked forward and gently stroked Li's wife's belly with his hand. His face changed slightly: "It's a boy!"

  In "Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan", it is said that Zheng Zhuang Gong was a breach birth. It roughly refers to the irregular fetal position, with both feet down and head up, which would cause great pain to the mother during delivery, even posing a threat of death. Therefore, Zheng Zhuang Gong's mother was extremely disgusted with him. The natural affection between mother and son could be so hateful towards her own biological son, showing how painful this breach birth was.

  With the great perfection of I Ching medical skills, as soon as you touch it, you know that the fetus is not only facing downwards with both feet, but also that the two small feet are separated, and surprisingly, they have split at the "human way" gate.

  This situation is not just a natural production, even if it is sent to the hospital for a cesarean section, there are considerable risks.

  But in front of Zhou Yi, this is nothing.

  "Dr. Zhou, what is 'awakening from birth'?"

  Li Dazhuang arrived just in time to see Zhou Yi take two needles down, and his wife's bleeding stopped. He immediately felt relieved and had even more confidence in Zhou Yi.

  "It's just that the baby is upside down inside, and I touched it earlier, the baby's two legs are open and stuck in the 'birth canal', so it's difficult to give birth..."

  Zhou Yi took a glance at Yan Wenpo: "You're the Yan Po Po that Er Lai Zi mentioned, it seems we need your help to deliver this child."

  "No way, no way! With a fetus in this position, I don't dare to operate. If someone's life is lost, my wife won't be able to bear it."

  Yan Wenpo had helped deliver nearly a thousand babies in her lifetime, and as soon as she heard it was this kind of fetal position, she shook her head hastily: "Doctor Zhou, I think we should send her to the hospital for a cesarean section right away. That way, there might still be hope."

  "No, it's too late......" Zhou Yi said: "Auntie Yan, don't worry, just deliver the baby as you normally would. When the baby is about to come out, I'll have a way to make him turn around."

  "Are you serious?"

  Yan's grandmother looked at Zhou Yi with great suspicion, and several experienced old ladies also shook their heads. How could this be possible? Who can guarantee that the baby will withdraw its foot? Isn't this nonsense?

  "Please trust me, if there's a problem, I'll take responsibility!"

  "Quickly," Zhou Yi said in a low voice, "if we delay any longer, the wound will start bleeding again."

  "Alright...alright..."

  Yan Wenpo shook her head and placed both hands on Li's wife's belly, pushing down, shouting: "Use force, use force, Li's..."

  "Ah......ah......it hurts, it really hurts!"

  Mrs. Li suddenly let out a loud cry, apparently the baby's two small feet were stuck in a critical position again.

  "Little baby, you're really naughty, it seems uncle can only punish you now."

  Zhou Yi smiled faintly and suddenly pulled out two seven-inch-long needles, stabbing them into the "Hui Hai" acupoint on either side of Li's wife.

  His two needles were incredibly swift and accurate, not only avoiding Li's wife's blood vessels and nerves but also accurately stabbing the outer sides of the baby's two small feet. The baby felt pain and both small feet instinctively retracted inward...

  "Ah, Dr. Zhou is really amazing! The baby's foot has come out, it's out!"

  Suddenly, two small feet stretched out from the 'birth canal', and Yan Wenpo's excited voice changed tone: "Divine doctor, it's really a divine doctor... With this fetal position, even if we sent her to the county hospital, it would be a miracle if she survived... Dr. Zhou, I, an old woman, have to admit defeat to you..."
