After a moment, Feng Qingqing opened her eyes. No longer hesitating, she performed a fluid, continuous motion, inserting five needles into Uncle Wang’s legs.
As for why she used five needles instead of the three she had used on Elder Fang during the first session: firstly, she had gained more insight into acupuncture and no longer needed to be quite so cautious. Secondly, Uncle Wang’s condition was significantly more severe than Elder Fang’s; there was no time for a gradual approach, and she had to forcefully curb the spread of his pain immediately.
Ever since he had entered the room and lain down, Uncle Wang’s expression had remained calm, leaving himself entirely to Feng Qingqing’s ministrations. However, shortly after the silver needles pierced his legs, his eyes widened. He looked at Feng Qingqing in disbelief, then back at his own legs. He raised his right hand to touch the leg being treated, unable to collect his thoughts for a long while.
