After leaving the hospital, Li Se did not go to repair his car. Instead, upon receiving a call from Xu Qiang, he headed to the clinic.
"Boss, it's them," Xu Qiang said, hurrying to greet Li Se as soon as he returned.
In the clinic, there were three other men with buzz cuts. Their skin was somewhat dark, and they looked like ordinary people, but the killing intent emanating from them was palpable. It was clear without a doubt that such individuals had taken many lives.
"Qiangzi, is this the doctor you were talking about?" one of the men, with a scar on his face, asked.
"Yes!" Xu Qiang nodded. "He can heal your bodies. I was shot last time and was on the brink of death, but Boss saved me!"
The three of them looked at Li Se in surprise because Li Se was very young. They had initially thought it would be one of the older Chinese medicine practitioners in the clinic, but they hadn't expected such a young man.
"Boss, let me introduce you. This is Bullet, this is Lightning, and this is Qilin..." Xu Qiang introduced the three men.
Upon hearing this, Li Se said with some surprise, "They all have codenames. Qiangzi, what's yours?"
Xu Qiang scratched his head. "These codenames are what we gave ourselves. I gave myself 'Qiangzi' back then."
Li Se couldn't help but smile and didn't dwell on the topic. Instead, he began to examine the injuries of the three men. After the examination, his brow furrowed, and his expression turned grave. He felt a degree of solemn respect for these three men.
Bullet's injuries were mainly to his head, suffering a concussion from a punch by a master. He now frequently experienced tinnitus, dizziness, and severe headaches.
Lightning's injuries were to his leg. The bone in his thigh was almost completely shattered, rendering it useless.
As for Qilin, although his injuries were not as shocking, fragments of bullets were lodged within his internal organs...
"Our injuries are very severe. If they cannot be treated, it's alright," Qilin said with acceptance. He had sought treatment from military doctors before, but they were helpless with his injuries, so he didn't hold much hope for Li Se being able to cure him.
Seeing Li Se's grave expression, Xu Qiang couldn't help but ask nervously, "Boss, can you treat them?"
"Yes!" Li Se nodded affirmatively.
Xu Qiang broke into a radiant smile. "Bullet, don't worry. If Boss says he can treat you, then he definitely can!"
At this moment, some of the older Chinese medicine practitioners from the clinic walked over. Elder Huang said, "Can you heal their injuries?"
"The injuries of these three people are very serious, and it won't be easy to treat them."
"With Divine Doctor Li here, it won't be a problem."
"..."
They had all performed a preliminary examination of the three men's physical conditions and gasped. These three were truly in critical condition, and even major hospitals would be helpless.
"I can treat them. Let's start with Bullet."
Li Se took out the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate and slowly inserted them into Bullet's forehead. After inserting three silver needles, he flicked the tails of the three needles with his fingers. The three silver needles began to vibrate subtly, even emitting a faint humming sound.
"Qi control of needles. I have been immersed in Chinese medicine for decades, and I haven't reached this level," Elder Huang said with emotion.
"This requires a foundation in Qigong. Throughout China, the only ones who can control needles with Qi are probably the imperial physicians in the capital," Elder Hua next to him exclaimed involuntarily.
Li Se said, "Although this is a concussion, it's not the most serious part. The most serious is the blood stasis in your brain. As long as this blood stasis can be removed, you will fully recover. In Chinese medicine, concussion is blood stagnation, and it can be treated by promoting blood circulation and removing stasis. However, ordinary treatments are ineffective. Your injury is somewhat severe, and it must be removed with silver needles!"
The silver needles continued to tremble for a full ten minutes before slowly stopping. Li Se then withdrew the needles and asked, "How do you feel?"
"I feel very comfortable, and my head doesn't feel as heavy as before," Bullet said incredulously. The ailment that had troubled him for years was cured so easily? He hadn't felt this relaxed in a very, very long time. After taking that punch to the head, he was tormented by headaches every night. Normally, he just felt his head was heavy, as if he would faint at any moment.
"I'll write a prescription. After three doses, you'll be fully recovered," Li Se smiled, wrote a prescription, and asked Huang Shanshan to get the medicine.
"Thank you. My life from now on belongs to you!" Bullet said solemnly.
Li Se didn't say anything and moved to Lightning's side. Lightning's main ailment was in his leg. The bones in his left leg were almost completely shattered. In this condition, it wouldn't be much better than Jiang Dashan's. It would take some time to treat this leg ailment.
"Are you afraid of pain?" Li Se suddenly asked.
"No!" Lightning grinned. "As long as this leg can be restored, I can endure any pain!"
"Good!" Li Se nodded, wrote another prescription, and handed it to Huang Shanshan.
"This... isn't the dosage a bit too much?" Huang Shanshan was startled by the dosage on the prescription. Although she believed in Li Se's medical skills, her understanding of Chinese medicine told her that this dosage was enough to kill someone. As the saying goes, medicine has three parts poison.
"This isn't for drinking, it's for medicinal bathing," Li Se explained.
"Oh, I see." Huang Shanshan realized, and then went to get the medicine.
While Huang Shanshan was getting the medicine, Li Se performed acupuncture on Lightning and then prepared a wooden tub, boiling water over a high flame. The water was already boiling, and anyone normal would know how hot it was.
"Am I supposed to get in?" Lightning asked.
"Yes!" Li Se nodded.
"This is going to cook a person alive!" some of the older Chinese medicine practitioners couldn't help but exclaim. They were all practitioners of Chinese medicine and were familiar with medicinal baths, but using boiling hot water like this for a medicinal bath was a bit too extreme. It really would cook a person.
Li Se smiled. "There is an herb in here that can make his skin more resistant to heat. Of course, even with the assistance of this herb, it would still be difficult for ordinary people to bear, but to restore this leg, this is the only way!"
"Qiangzi, help me in!" Lightning said with a determined expression.
"Okay!" Xu Qiang nodded and carried Lightning into the wooden tub.
At that instant, Lightning's skin turned red, and his face showed signs of pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
The old Chinese medicine practitioners in the clinic couldn't help but gasp. Even though it wasn't them going in, they knew how painful it was. They couldn't help but admire Lightning's resilience.
While Lightning was in the medicinal bath, Li Se looked at Qilin last, his expression grave. "Whether it's Bullet's concussion or Lightning's left leg, they are actually not difficult for me. Yours is the most serious!"
