Chapter 257 One Wanted to Learn, One Refused to Teach
”Liu Shengjun, it's our fault, but their injuries are not serious. I will cure them.” Mieko Chiba turned to Qin Haodong and said, ”What's your name, sir?”
”Qin Haodong!”
Mieko Chiba nodded and said, ”Qin Jun, I also know a little about Celestial Empire medicine. You can cure your friends, and I can cure my subordinates.”
Although her words seemed polite, they were full of provocation.
”Really?” Qin Haodong sneered, ”What you people from Nihon learned from Celestial Empire is only a smattering of Celestial Empire medicine. It is impossible for you to cure them.”
”Qin-kun, I don't agree with you. Although my medical skills were learned from Celestial Empire, as the saying goes: Blue is extracted from the indigo plant but is bluer than the latter. Moreover, Celestial Empire medicine is declining now. You Celestial Empire people do not adhere to the treasures left by your ancestors. You prefer to learn things from Westerners. I really do not understand.
To tell you the truth, the essence of traditional Celestial Empire medicine can now only be found in Nihon, not in Celestial Empire. If you have time, you could also visit us to study.”
”You arrogant, bumptious... ”
The onlookers had thought highly of the seemingly courteous Nihon woman at first. However, when they heard her words, they were all overwhelmed by abhorrence. They immediately began to denounce her.
Qin Haodong said lightly, ”You think too much. Although Celestial Empire medicine is declining now, it can't be completely mastered by thieves like you.”
Mieko Chiba smiled. She seemed indifferent to the words of the people around her as she said arrogantly, ”To tell you the truth, I am a member of the Nihon-Celestial-Empire Cultural Exchange Group. Tomorrow, we will challenge Celestial Empire medicine. If you are interested, you can come and see. Then, you will know what real Celestial Empire medicine is.”
Qin Haodong's expression suddenly changed. No wonder so many Nihon people had suddenly appeared. They were members of the cultural exchange group. It seemed that, this time, the Nihon people had made a lot of plans, and there were many challenges to be faced. Even Celestial Empire medicine had been included. He had promised Guo Feng to attend this cultural exchange. Thus, presumably, he would see this Nihon woman again.
He said, ”Well, I'm sure I'll come and show you what real Celestial Empire medicine is!”
Mieko Chiba smiled confidently and said nothing more. She stepped on the wooden clogs and walked toward Sato Junichi. She was going to prove her medical skills to the Celestial Empire with real actions.
”Miss Mieko. Please!”
Sato Junichi bowed his head and spoke in pain.
Mieko Chiba grabbed his broken wrist. She first pressed it, then pulled and pushed it. When a click was heard, Sato Junichi howled like a pig. His wrist bone was still in two pieces. It was not joined!
Upon seeing this, the onlookers around her burst into laughter. It was obvious that the Nihon woman was modeling Qin Haodong's bone-setting technique to connect the broken bones as fast as possible. Obviously, she had failed. This fact proved that her medical skills could not be compared with Qin Haodong's.
Mieko Chiba frowned slightly, and her confidence and calmness disappeared. This was obviously a very simple fracture. Why couldn't she set the bone?
She used another method to set the fracture. Sato howled again, but the broken bones were still not connected.
When Qin Haodong had broken his wrist, he had barely been able to endure the pain. However, Mieko's torment made him hurt to the extreme.
”What the hell is going on?”
Mieko really couldn't figure out what was wrong. She tried different ways more than a dozen times. Sato Junichi 's voice became hoarse from all the howling, but he was still not cured.
Qin Haodong sneered. This was his unique skill. Unless he treated them in person, the two Nihon people would only remain disabled for a lifetime.
Mieko turned to Genpachiro Yagyuu this time. Genpachiro Yagyuu shivered in fear, but had no choice but to stretch out his two arms. As a result, he howled more miserably than Sato.
While looking at the confused Mieko, Qin Haodong said with a smile, ”How about that? Do you know what a frog in a well is? The little medicine you stealthily learned from Celestial Empire is not anywhere near our level.”
Mieko Chiba took a deep breath awkwardly and said, ”Qin-kun, I admit I'm not as good as you at orthopedics. Please help me set their broken bones!”
”Aren't you naive? I said this was a form of punishment for them. How could I possibly help them recover?”
Mieko frowned and said, ”Qin-kun, is your friend cured yet? I think this punishment is too heavy for them and definitely not conducive to the friendly relations between Celestial Empire and Nihon.”
”It's not heavy at all!” This time, it was Zhang Laifu who said indignantly, ”Do you know what these two men just said? They boasted that their grandfather killed hundreds of people in the Nanjing Massacre. They said that Celestial Empire is a low-class nation that does not deserve to own this land. Sooner or later, your nation will invade again.
They are monsters with savage hearts. Just breaking their bones is too merciful. They deserve to suffer more!”
”Bastard, devil...”
”We should have known that people from Nihon were not well-meaning. Get out of Celestial Empire! You are not welcome here!”
Zhang Laifu's words aroused the anger of the people around him again.
Mieko Chiba hadn't known about that. She turned to Liu Genpachiro Yagyuu and Junichi Sato and asked, ”Did you say that?”
The two men immediately bowed their heads. Sato replied in a low voice, ”I thought nobody could understand our conversation!”
”You deserve to be disabled, you idiot!”
Mieko Chiba gave the two men a fierce stare and then told Hirai Yagyuu, ”Let's go!”
