"Bone Touching Skill is the most fundamental among the eight techniques of Bone-setting, and only by mastering it can one learn the other seven techniques and truly unleash their power. You could say the height your Bone-setting Skill can reach in the future depends entirely on how well you learn Bone Touching Skill."
Li Jingsheng’s understanding of these words is that Bone Touching Skill is akin to the ’Inner Strength’ of Bone Setting techniques; only with well-practiced Inner Strength can the punching and kicking techniques be powerful.
Otherwise, it would just be flashy but hollow moves, and no matter how good the Bone-setting Skill is, the level would be poor.
"When touching bones, you should not only feel the skeleton with your heart but also understand the surrounding muscles, blood vessels, ligaments, soft tissues, and skin. Although they are not bones, they have various influences on the Bone Setting repositioning operation. For example, some people have relaxed, small muscles, so their bones are bound to be weak and frail, requiring extra caution during operation, as excessive force may easily cause secondary fractures."
"For instance, when performing Bone Setting on children under six years old or even infants, their bones are very flexible yet extremely fragile, so adjustments on Bone Setting can be made dynamically according to the bone features. Improper operation can easily lead to lifelong disabilities for the injured..."
Different patients have different physiques, and situations can vary endlessly.
Only by mastering Bone Touching Skill can one remain adaptable amidst changing conditions and clearly understand the specific situation of each patient.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Boss, there’s a patient with diarrhea who wants you to take a look. They’ve been waiting for a while now."
Tang Ping reminded from outside.
"Okay, I’ll be right out."
Li Jingsheng had no choice but to stop studying and go handle the patient.
"The knowledge and key points of Bone Touching taught today, you can memorize them first and then combine them with practice, slowly accumulate insights and experience. If I’m free tomorrow afternoon, I’ll come again. You go see the patient!"
Doctor Xu got up and bid farewell.
The Bone Touching knowledge imparted to Li Jingsheng today was extremely profound, and it would take a long time just to understand and digest.
"It’s almost dinner time, you’re rare to come by, why not stay a while longer, I’ll attend to the outside patient and then treat you and your little grandson to a meal!" Li Jingsheng persuaded.
On one hand, out of gratitude, he had long planned to invite Doctor Xu for a meal.
On the other hand, he wanted to close the clinic after eating, and follow Doctor Xu to learn more Bone Touching knowledge.
Only by learning does one realize.
It’s only after learning Bone Touching Skill that one knows there are so many orthopedics knowledge never learned before.
Understanding human bones feels like entering a knowledge wasteland never ventured into before.
A simple Bone Setting repositioning actually involves so much meticulous and in-depth technique, with many profound bone science knowledge and Bone Touching techniques, blending the strengths of both Chinese and Western bone science.
These are all secrets not casually shared.
He felt shocked while more was yearning, a thirst for new knowledge.
Wishing he could keep Doctor Xu for a long overnight talk.
"My spouse already prepared dinner, next time! You have a great talent in Bone Setting, and with a healer’s heart of compassion, I hope you can diligently practice Bone Touching Skill, lay a strong foundation, and surely achieve great accomplishments in time."
With that, Doctor Xu opened the door and headed out first.
"Grandpa, why did you come out just now! That aunt is so fierce, she said if I dare to step out of the clinic, she’d break my legs."
The little boy ran fearfully toward Doctor Xu, pouting.
After holding Doctor Xu’s hand, he pointed at Tang Ping in fear.
His little eyes were full of dread.
"There’s nothing wrong. Didn’t you see that beggar got his hand broken by a car? There are so many cars outside, what if you got hit? What if a trafficker took you?"
After admonishing his grandson, Doctor Xu flashed a small smile at Tang Ping.
"This kid is too mischievous, fearless of anything, you have to be a bit tough with him to keep him in check."
"Hehe, in your grandson’s eyes, I’m scarier than a monster! Just worried something might happen to the child outside, take care!"
Tang Ping laughed as she said goodbye to Doctor Xu.
"Little boy, come play again next time!"
"I’m not a little boy!"
The little boy said weakly.
Judging by the situation, he was probably well-disciplined by Tang Ping.
Li Jingsheng couldn’t help but chuckle secretly, truly one thing conquers another. Tang Ping, such a gentle and beautiful woman, can easily tame this troublesome kid.
