Chapter 6: Jiang Xiaochun's Story

  For this question, Jiang Xiaochun did not answer immediately, but instead turned his head to face Wang Fanglong with a smile and said in a teasing tone: "Old brother, you see, I'm not like you, hiding and dodging such a small problem, unwilling to answer. The thing I enjoy doing the most is satisfying other people's curiosity."

  It seems that Jiang Xiaochun still holds a grudge against Wang Fanglong for not telling him the reason for being late to the gathering.

  As expected, Jiang Xiaochun immediately leaned in close to Wang Fanglong's ear and whispered: "You have to learn from this, after I finish answering their questions, you must tell me the reason for being late."

  Wang Fanglong felt a sudden surge of anger as soon as he heard it. He thought to himself, "This Jiang Xiaochun is really too curious."

  But now I owe him a favor, and it's really hard to refuse next time. What should I do?

  King Fanglong sat on a stool, thinking and listening to Jiang Xiaochun tell his own story.

  As Jiang Xiaochun's words poured out, everyone not only learned about the origins of his exquisite massage skills but also gained a clear understanding of his experiences before joining the army.

  。

  Jiang Xiaochun said that he was born into a relatively remote rural family, his grandfather was a well-known traditional Chinese medicine doctor in their local area, skilled at orthopedics and treating various internal and external injuries.

  According to his grandfather, these were all the skills passed down from their ancestors. However, outsiders only knew that his grandfather was a Chinese doctor, and only they themselves knew that his grandfather was also a deeply hidden martial arts master, with Nine Palace Steps and Bagua Palm having reached an extremely high level.

  Jiang Xiaochun remembers it very clearly, when he was 8 years old, a group of hooligans came to his home after seeing the doctor, and they not only didn't pay but also robbed things from their home.

  On that day, Jiang Xiaochun's father was not at home. His grandfather endured humiliation in every way, but the result was only to make the gang of hoodlums more and more arrogant.

  Later, when Jiang Xiaochun's mother came forward to mediate, these thugs became even more outrageous, even physically and verbally abusing his mother with obscene language.

  At this point, Jiang Xiaochun's grandfather could no longer bear it. In a fit of rage, he let out a loud roar and, in front of the gang of thugs, slapped his palm against a white poplar tree as thick as a bowl in the courtyard, snapping it in two.

  Those rascals took one look at this scene and were immediately scared silly.

  They stopped causing trouble, paid their medical bills quietly and left without a word.

  But those rascals went back and felt that this matter was too shameful, never mentioning it to others again.

  So, until now foreigners still don't know that Jiang Xiaochun's grandfather had such profound martial arts skills.

  Originally, Grandfather wanted to teach Jiang Xiaochun martial arts starting from when he was 4 years old.

  But unfortunately, Jiang Xiaochun didn't show any interest in martial arts, and since his grandfather thought he was still young, he didn't force him to learn.

  But all this changed since his grandfather cut down the white poplar tree.

  At that time, Jiang Xiaochun was young and only knew how to hide aside and cry when his mother was bullied.

  Later, he saw his grandfather repel a gangster with one palm and realized that martial arts were very useful for protecting his loved ones.

  Since then, Jiang Xiaochun's interest in martial arts has increased greatly, and it can be said that he is infatuated with it.

  。

  Jiang Xiaochun began to actively pester his grandfather to teach him various martial arts moves. No matter what move he learned, he would repeatedly practice it diligently until he was exhausted and couldn't move anymore.

  Every time this happens, his grandfather would come out, give him a massage and then soak him in the medicinal water he had prepared. Jiang Xiaochun would immediately become lively and energetic again.

  When Jiang Xiao Chun was 13 years old, his father died in a car accident. His grandfather was so grief-stricken that he became depressed and withdrawn for half a year.

  Half a year later, Grandfather called Jiang Xiaochun to his side and told him that he should take on the responsibility of being a Jiang family son and inherit the old craftsmanship of his ancestors.

  Starting from 13 years old, while practicing martial arts, Jiang Xiaochun began to learn medicine with his grandfather until he was 18 years old, and his massage skills were learned during this period.

  According to Jiang Xiaochun, his massage techniques can not only relieve fatigue but also have a good therapeutic effect on common ailments such as headaches, fever and diarrhea.

  At the age of 18, Jiang Xiaochun passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a military academy. However, every time he returned home for vacation, his grandfather would test his medical skills and martial arts, with a focus on his medical skills.

  According to his grandfather, martial arts are a way to strengthen one's body, but this is only useful for oneself and does not require perfection, just being proficient is enough.

  Medical skills are the skills of treating and saving people. Good medical skills can benefit thousands of families, while poor medical skills can destroy many families, so medical skills must be precise.

  From college to now, Jiang Xiaochun's holidays have been spent in his grandfather's small clinic, helping his grandfather treat and save people.

  During his years as a soldier, he also cured many comrades with medical skills.

  Because he cured illnesses without using medicine, relying solely on his hands and a few silver needles, his comrades were all very impressed by him. In private, the other comrades loved to call him "Jiang the Immortal".

  In fact, Jiang Xiaochun was not originally in the special forces, but signed up for this "Red Beret" reserve team member selection competition and made it all the way to the end.

  In the personnel selection arena competition, due to intense confrontation, many officers and soldiers were injured, and injuries such as strains and fractures often occurred.

  Whenever someone is injured, Jiang Xiaochun will rush out to assist the military doctor in emergency treatment. His skilled technique, especially in treating bone injuries, makes the onlookers among the medical staff gasp in amazement and also opens the eyes of the assessment team's comrades.

  。

  Jiang Xiaochun himself was also skilled in martial arts, and in the arena competition segment, he charged all the way through without meeting an opponent. Jiang Xiaochun's outstanding performance surpassed many professional special forces soldiers.

  Especially in terms of injury treatment, no selected object can be mentioned with him.

  It's common for special forces to get injured, and apart from professional military doctors, the special forces themselves are slightly weak in handling injuries.

  Jiang Xiaochun's appearance can make up for this.

  Based on Jiang Xiaochun's outstanding performance, the assessment team finally allowed him to pass the selection and was selected as a reserve member of the "Red Beret".

  As they were speaking, just as everyone was listening intently, Jiang Xiaochun's face suddenly changed, and with a gaze full of expectation, he stared at Wang Fanglong and said: "Brother, my story is over, now it's your turn. You should be able to tell me now, why did you arrive so late when we gathered?"

  At this moment, everyone else in the house turned their eyes to Wang Fanglong.

  Jiang Xiaochun was back on his own head again, Wang Fanglong sighed slightly in his heart: "Alas! Still can't avoid it!"

  Under the curious gaze of the whole house, coupled with the memory of the village massacre, Wang Fanglong felt anxious and annoyed, a surge of nameless evil fire rushed to his forehead, his face turned cold, and he was about to get angry.

  However, thinking of Jiang Xiaochun's help to himself, Wang Fanglong still took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, quickly adjusted his emotions, turned to Jiang Xiaochun and said in a calm tone: "Sorry, by rights, your question doesn't count for much, even if you hadn't helped me, I should have told you the reason. But for me, this is indeed an unspoken secret, I have reasons that cannot be spoken, please forgive me. How about changing the subject?"

  Wang Fanglong still didn't want to say why he was late, Jiang Xiaochun's curiosity was piqued and his eagerness reached a new height, it was like having an itch that couldn't be scratched, the unbearable feeling made him want to ask for a result.

  "Drip..."

  Just then, a sudden shrill whistle sounded, and everyone stopped talking, quickly got up, and rushed out of the door in a flurry.
