Seeing that Grandpa refused outright without even thinking, You Guang replied:
"It's okay if you don't teach me." After all, she could do it herself, "When will the needle be ready?"
"In about a month."
"Can't it be sooner? A week."
"You're not in a rush to learn, so why the hurry?" Xia Rong found his granddaughter's impatience both amusing and exasperating.
"Then two weeks, is that possible?"
You Guang was indeed anxious.
Grandpa refusing to teach her acupuncture was something she had anticipated.
Learning acupuncture from him wasn't her ultimate goal; obtaining the Golden Needle was.
She had seen Shi Wangyue's medical records; the child was indeed very seriously injured.
If acupuncture isn't used soon to aid in the medical treatment, it might indeed turn out as the Western medicine's prognosis suggested, that the child would never walk again.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes timing in treatment.
If the timing is right, anything is possible.
