  "Waaaoooowww..."

  "It's a boy, Li family's eldest grandson, congratulations!"

  Yan Wen quickly and nimbly pulled out the little baby, swiftly cut off the umbilical cord, and gave two slaps on the small buttocks. The newborn suddenly let out a loud wail.

  Mother and child are safe and sound.

  Two silver needles of Chinese medicine are safer and healthier than a cesarean section, green and pollution-free, can give birth to the second child.

  "Always live up to expectations..."

  The I Ching is also a sigh of relief. The two needles that just pierced the baby looked simple, but were actually very difficult. They had to avoid Li Dazhuang's wife Cuihua's blood vessels and nerves, and find the baby's small feet accurately. Even if it was a medical god who did it, it would be hard to guarantee 100% accuracy without any mistakes.

  Luckily, 'Hua Tuo's divine needle' has a bonus effect on medical skills and can minimize the harm to Cuihua and BaoBao. Otherwise, even if Zhou Yi could save both mother and child, Cuihua would still have to suffer a bit more.

  "This is indeed a divine doctor, just a few needles can not only help Cuihua stop bleeding but also correct the baby's position? My wife has been helping with childbirth for a lifetime and it's still the first time to see such a magical technique..."

  Yan's sharp eyes spotted the tiny needle holes on the baby's two small feet, and she cried out even louder: "Look, look! Dr. Zhou used needles to prick this little guy's feet, that's why he withdrew his two tiny feet that were taking a life!"

  "Really? Let me see..."

  At this moment, Cuihua has already escaped danger and her body is covered with a quilt by several women. The old men who were originally outside also swarmed in, and after listening to Yan's words, someone put on reading glasses to look for needle holes...

  "It's really true, these two injections are so clever and wonderful! They're even more effective than the scalpels of those directors and deputy directors in big hospitals! I'm saying, our village has a divine doctor now, we're so lucky!"

  These old people living in the mountain villages are not impressed by modern Western medicine, which often involves hospitalization and surgery. How can it compare to traditional Chinese medicine, passed down from the Huaxia era, where doctors use observation, questioning, pulse-taking, and prescribe two doses of medicine to cure an illness? The problem is that there are too few good traditional Chinese medicine practitioners these days, making it hard to find one who can really cure serious illnesses.

  But once they encounter a good Chinese doctor, these old people will definitely be convinced. And in the eyes of the elderly, what is most persuasive is acupuncture. Seeing that a few needles can save two lives, isn't this just Hua Tuo reborn?

  The village has come such a great doctor, it is the greatest fortune for the elderly, how can they not be excited?

  "Zhou family brothers, you are the benefactor of Li Dazhuang, I kowtow to you!"

  Li Dazhuang went from extreme sorrow to extreme joy, through the two extremes of heaven and earth. Overcome with gratitude, he walked a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Zhou Yi, ready to kowtow.

  "Oh no! Brother Li, you're going to shorten my lifespan with this, I really can't afford it..."

  Zhou Yi quickly helped Li Dazhuang up, but in his heart he was feeling pleased with himself.

  It feels so good to help others! Without seeking reward, using one's own strength to save people from danger and snatch them from the jaws of death is an achievement that can't be bought with any amount of money.

  It's better to talk about money after saving people, one knife and a red envelope is more comfortable. Leisurely in the mountains and fields, worry about the people; not in the high temple hall, just because you can't bear that five dou of grain...

  Inadvertently, I have gained a deeper understanding of this word "idle" through the Book of Changes.

  Some people look very busy, but in fact they are just busy with some trivial and despicable things, busy for personal gain, busy to send their children abroad to get foreign citizenship. These people are actually the most idle; Some people look very idle, not seeking fame or fortune, but in fact they have a heart for the common people, busy with justice and righteousness, busy for the public good. These people are actually the most busy; weren't Tao Yuanming and the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove just like this?

  Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, who can distinguish them clearly?

  "Haha, Doctor Zhou, you're too polite, Li Dazhuang is also worthy of this title..."

  Li Yuanfang and Wang Jingzi also arrived, just in time to see Zhou Yi's clever move save Cuihua and her child. Li Yuanfang was taking advantage of the situation to consolidate Zhou Yi's prestige among the villagers. After this incident, even if the villagers found out about Zhou Yi occupying Mantou Mountain to build a villa, they would only offer support and no one would oppose it.

  "Brother Li, your wife is fine now. However, she had a hemorrhage earlier and her energy will be a bit weak. I'll give you a prescription, take some time to go to the town to get nine doses of medicine, three doses a day for three days. During this period, have one bowl of chicken soup per day, not too oily; after three days, your wife will be fine."

  Zhou Yi nodded and smiled, putting the four silver needles back into his needle pouch. "In that case, I'll be off first. If anything comes up, just give me a call on my cell phone."

  Li Dazhuang nodded, and since his home was in a mess at the moment, he didn't insist on Zhou Yi staying; great kindness doesn't require thanks, and he wouldn't even say a word of gratitude, but instead kept Zhou Yi's kindness in mind, waiting for an opportunity to repay it.

  Li Yuanfang walked over with a smile and grabbed Zhou Yi, saying: "Come on, Zhou younger brother, you're the big hero today, let's go to my place for a drink."

  Zhou Yi was taken aback, and before he could even speak, the old folks in the house all chimed in, saying: "How can that be? Today is the day for our physical examination at the nursing home, and we're still waiting for Doctor Zhou to take a look at us..."

  "Come on, Secretary, what are you doing? Dr. Zhou is the divine doctor of our Yunshui Village, not just your family's, what do you mean by this?"

  "Yuan Fang... it's not your grandfather I'm talking to, you're the secretary now, so you should be even more clear about public and private matters. Don't let others find fault with you..." This is a senior figure.

  "Really?"

  Li Yuanfang smiled: "Aren't you all unwilling to go for a physical examination? You said that doctors are mixed with days, and they will be confused. How come you changed your mind now? Can you trust Dr. Zhou?"

  "Stop it, Xiao Yuanzi! We were just joking around earlier. If Doctor Zhou isn't good enough, who else can we go to? It's free for us to go get a physical checkup, only an idiot wouldn't go!"

  The old man waved his arm and shouted, and a crowd of onlookers responded like clouds, rushing out of the courtyard with a loud whoosh.

  "Dr. Xiao Zhou, we'll go queue up first, don't rush, take your time..."

  At this moment, in the eyes of these old people, Zhou Yi, this reincarnation of Hua Tuo, is more respected than any great leader. Why? This is someone who can snatch life from the King of Hell, who doesn't want to live a few more years?

  "Zhou, you're really something!"

  Li Yuanfang gave a thumbs up and said, "This group of old goods can finally find someone to convince them. Hehe, now when Master Li from Fragrant River comes, we'll have some face in front of him too... what do you think, Jingzi?"

  The village chief, Wang Jingzi, looked at Zhou Yi with a sly glint in his eye and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right... Brother Zhou, I heard from Yuanfang that you want to build a villa on Mantou Mountain. If you need help, just give us a shout. Our village may not have anything else, but we've got plenty of strong laborers!"

  "Well, in that case, thank you then..."

  "If need be, I will definitely not be polite."

  This time, the silver needle was born, saving both mother and child, and also allowing Zhou Yi to truly establish his reputation in Yunshui Village. The name of the divine doctor has already spread throughout Yunshui Village; I'm afraid it won't be long before even the villages above and below the dam, Liu Li Louzi Village, and even the deeper villages on Yunshui Mountain will know that a divine doctor has emerged from Yunshui Village...
