Chapter 178

After crossing the road, Wang Yao pulled over to the side, made a call to the police, and then got out and walked over to the other car. The car window was still wound down, and Wang Yao could see the driver splayed upon the inflated airbags. His eyes were wide as though in a daze.

"How many fingers am I holding up?" Wang Yao extended a finger and waved it in front of the man's eyes.

"You…"

"How are you? Do you need me to call an ambulance?"

"Yes!"

"Don't drive so recklessly next time."

Such reckless behavior would only hurt others and hurt oneself.

Wang Yao got out his phone and dialed for the ambulance. Then, after checking that the young driver was in no serious danger, he then continued on his way home.

Mission: Obtain the recognition of a hundred patients or their families within a hundred days—complete.

While he was still driving, Wang Yao suddenly heard this news, which delighted him.

This mission is finally finished, and this also means that I'll learn a new medical skill. What will it be? Acupuncture?

Thinking about this, Wang Yao was delighted. Nonetheless, he still drove slowly for the next 60 kilometers home. He then stopped the car, entered the house, and opened the system panel.

"This is?!"

Wang Yao was surprised.

The skill that he was given was actually "Tui Na Massage"! Did this also count as "medicine"?

Do you want to learn it?

"Of course!"

Although there was still some uncertainty in his heart, Wang Yao had faith in the system and selected the skill without hesitation. Momentarily, he once again experienced the feeling of being filled with wisdom. This time was somewhat different from all the previous times. Besides gaining the technical know-how, he seemed to have mastered all the techniques in his fingertips, as though he had practiced it for decades. The experience was somewhat discomforting and could not simply be described as feeling good.

Once all this knowledge had entered his mind, it also made him realize the profundities of this medical art.

When thinking about massages, many people would simply think of health maintenance. In truth, Tui Na massages were an important part of Chinese medicine. Some scholars even termed it to be a "longevity art." It was a natural method of treatment that humans could exercise, and as long as it was done properly, it would have no detrimental side effects.

In the Inner Cannon of the Yellow Emperor, it was mentioned that "if the channels and collaterals are not clear, illnesses will arise, the treatment of which comes from massage."

This comprises the arteries, veins, and internal organs of the human body treated with external forces like pressing, rubbing, pinching, etc. In a strict sense, health maintenance was about treating internal problems through external methods, and this even included setting bones.

"How about letting my parents try it first?"

Tui Na massage therapy could not only be used to treat illnesses, but it could also regulate the flow of blood and energy in the body, boosting health and immunity.

After dinner, Wang Yao raised this suggestion to his mother.

"What, a massage?" Zhang Xiuying asked after hearing that.
