Chapter 45: The Old Master Takes in Disciples (Third Update)

  Lao Lang Zhong is a seller of dog skin plaster in our town. Perhaps in everyone's consciousness, the old men who buy dog skin plasters are some swindlers.

  But this old man is absolutely a famous figure in our town. He indeed has a set of skills for treating injuries from falls and fights.

  Last time I was injured, my dad took me to see a doctor too, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to recover in just one week. Of course, Old Master Zhang has more than just this special aspect, I'll tell you about it later.

  Ten minutes later, my dad and I arrived at Lao Lang's house.

  His family's house was also quite old, but it wasn't that they didn't have money in the village, it's just that the old man liked this kind of wooden old house. When I walked through the gate of the old man's house, I saw a middle-aged man with a full beard walking out from inside the house.

  Although he is over 50 years old, one can still sense a sharp and powerful aura from the way he walks and his spirit. This kind of momentum is especially remarkable.

  The old man's first glance fell on me, his piercing gaze swept over my entire body, and then he said: "You child, why are you always getting hurt lately. Come in quickly."

  My dad immediately helped me onto a wooden bed in the hall. I lay down, and my eyes were just right to look at my dad's dark face.

  Looking at my dad's exhausted and anxious expression, I also felt a pang of guilt.

  "Xue Shu, help take a look at our little Kai. Don't let him catch any illness. He's still so young and already got into a fight with someone." My dad said to Old Master Lang.

  The old man immediately felt my skeleton roughly. I have to say, every time he examined me, I found that even in the injured areas, his grip was very good and didn't cause the kind of pain I had imagined.

  After checking, the old doctor shook his head immediately. At that time, my dad was so scared that he thought I might have internal injuries or something. So a string of questions were asked to the old doctor.

  The old doctor raised an eyebrow, signaling my dad to relax, then said: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. If I couldn't even cure this minor injury, wouldn't my reputation of several decades be ruined? However, Little Kai is a kid I quite like, he was very cute when he was young. So I'll treat him well and guarantee that not only will he not have any lingering illness, but also become stronger and healthier."

  Lao Lang said so, but I didn't think much of it. My dad was extremely grateful, though. Afterwards, Lao Lang sent my dad back and told me to stay overnight at his place.

  My dad naturally didn't have a single doubt and immediately nodded and left.

  The old house was empty, with no outsiders except for a granddaughter two years younger than me who had just started junior high school. When I was young, I often came to play here, so I'm still quite familiar with the old house.

  "Tell me, how did you get into another fight this time?" Lao Lang asked me.

  I didn't hide it either, so I lay on the bed, letting my husband apply medicine for me while answering.

  At that time I was quite relaxed, plus the old man's medicine to be applied on the body was hot and hot, so there wasn't much pain. But just as the old man asked seven or eight questions, making my mind and body completely relaxed.

  Suddenly, the old man's hands were like strong iron pliers, grasping and pinching several injured parts of mine repeatedly, even using his bent joints to knock against my body.

  The pain that I hadn't felt before suddenly transmitted to my brain, and my instinctive reaction was to try to stop Old Lang's movement. However, although he is over 50 years old, his strength is terrifying, at least I feel that my dad's strength is not even half as big as Old Lang's.

  Ouch

  "Grandpa Xue, be gentle."

  Ow...

  My mouth was screaming in pain. To be honest, it hurt so much that I almost cried. I felt like the pain was even worse than when I was fighting.

  But I had no room for resistance and was tortured by the old man until half of my life was gone.

  More than ten minutes later, when I was already too exhausted to shout, Old Man Zhang also wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and sat down on the stool beside him to drink tea.

  When I rested for two minutes and recovered some strength, I moved my limbs a bit, only then did I confirm that I didn't have any missing arms or legs.

  When I exercised, I found that the injuries on my thighs and lower back had improved a lot. Of course, it's not to say that they've really healed, but rather that the joints didn't hurt as much as I imagined when I moved them.

  "Thank you, Uncle Xue," I said with a faint smile.

  The old man gave me a white eye, saying that I was really embarrassing just now, and actually shouted so loudly. If it weren't for the neighbors next door knowing he was treating an illness, they would have thought he was committing murder.

  I scratched my head and showed a helpless expression.

  It wasn't until the old man said the next sentence that I was suddenly frightened and showed a bitter expression.

  "This is just the beginning. From now on, I'll help you with massage every four hours. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the same." The old man said calmly.

  I couldn't take it anymore. To think that I was genuinely worried to death just now. I immediately said, "Grandfather Xue, I remember you used to only give people a massage once and apply some medicine, and after a few days, they'd be fine, right? My injury isn't that serious this time, is it?"

  The old man glared at me fiercely, saying he's the doctor, not me, and it's up to him to decide how to treat, also saying that when he gives me a massage, if I can bear it without screaming, then he won't continue.

  Hearing this, I could only grimace in pain. It's not easy for me to pretend to be fine. Let alone now that I'm injured, even if I weren't injured, with the force that old man used to push and pull me, I would still end up getting hurt.

  However, the old man naturally wouldn't listen to me. For the next two days, he did as he said and gave me a massage almost every four hours, torturing me until I felt like I was going to fall apart.

  The old man's granddaughter, seeing me calling out like that every time, actually showed a schadenfreude expression and said: "Little Kai brother, you're really useless. You can't even bear that little bit of pain."

  No matter what, being despised by a little girl is still unpleasant, so every time I try to hold back and not call.

  It's true, maybe I was enduring it, or maybe I had gotten used to the pain, but finally on the fourth day, when my husband gave me a massage again, I didn't make a sound.

  At that time, Old Man Zhong finally revealed a rarely seen smile. "Not bad, not bad. Being able to hold out for four days is more endurance than those ordinary kids. Now take a look at the wounds on your body, do they still hurt?"

  I immediately moved my whole body and suddenly found that I didn't feel any pain at all. You know, it takes a hundred days to recover from an injury like this, although mine wasn't that serious, but it's not something that can heal in three or four days. At once, I couldn't help but show gratitude towards Old Man Zhang.

  Just then an old man spoke up and said: "Young one, are you interested in practicing martial arts? How about becoming my apprentice?"

  I was taken aback.
