Chapter 60: First Demonstration of Level 1 Medical Skills

Modern World, Monday.

Gu Xi took a day off and first took the theoretical test for the first part of her driver's license. After passing the test successfully, she found Coach Tian again and asked him about special forces training while practicing driving.

"Xiao Gu, why are you so interested in training?" Coach Tian asked.

Gu Xi rolled his eyes and said:

"Isn't it popular to make short dramas now? My friend is also making one. The subject is a story about a time traveler who travels to ancient times and trains a special forces team. Naturally, there are many scenes of training."

As she spoke, Gu Xi took out the video she had secretly filmed of the soldiers doing push-ups and showed it to Coach Tian.

After reading it carefully, Coach Tian commented:

"The basics of these extras are pretty good, but their postures are not professional enough. I'll show you how to do it, and you can take a video to show them."

As he spoke, Coach Tian really started to demonstrate, explaining the key points while doing it.

Gu Xi was very grateful for this and insisted on treating Coach Tian to a meal.

Coach Tian refused:

"Thank you, but no thanks. My mother is sick and I have to go to the hospital to take care of her at noon."

Gu Xi said:

"Of course I will go with you to see Auntie."

Although Coach Tian repeatedly declined, thinking that it was against the driving school's rules to let the student visit his mother, Gu Xi said:

"Coach Tian, you taught me more than just driving. You were also my teacher in special forces training. I will have to trouble you again in the future. It is only natural for a student to visit his teacher's mother. Besides, I also know some medical skills, so maybe I can help Auntie."

Having said that, Coach Tian had no choice but to agree.

Gu Xi bought a fruit basket at the hospital entrance and followed Coach Tian into the hospital.

Coach Tian's mother was on an IV drip at the moment, and Coach Tian took Gu Xi into the ward.

"Mom, this is Xiao Gu, a student from my driving school. He came to see you specially."

Tian's mother smiled and thanked him. The two chatted for a few words. Gu Xi held Tian's mother's wrist and took her pulse.

Then he asked again: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Coach Tian sighed and said:

"She has a bad heart, an old problem. Every time she feels severe pain, she comes to the hospital for an IV drip. The doctor said she needs surgery, but my mother is old and she is unwilling to spend the money. I can't persuade her to do anything."

Tian's mother blamed:

"Your wife passed away early, and my grandson is still in school. There are places where money is needed. Why should I have surgery with my old bones? What's more, this operation has risks. I am worried that I will not be able to get off the operating table, and the money will be wasted."

Gu Xi pondered for a while and said:

"I think Auntie's condition doesn't require surgery. She has blood vessel blockage caused by the three highs. Acupuncture plus Chinese medicine should be able to cure it."

Tian's mother looked at Gu Xi in surprise, "Really?"

Gu Xi nodded.

This was the first time she used first-level medical skills. Although she was not sure if the medicine could cure the disease, she should have no problem helping Tian's mother to clear her blood vessels and relieve the symptoms.

Seeing that Coach Tian still seemed a little worried, Gu Xi said:

"Don't worry, Coach Tian. I have studied medicine with an old Chinese doctor for several years. My master even praised me for my extraordinary talent. You can ask your aunt to try my prescription. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to come to the hospital again."

Tian's mother has unconditional trust in Gu Xi. The elderly always believe in traditional Chinese medicine more, and they will instinctively feel a little fearful and resistant to Western medicine surgery.

Now that she has Gu Xi's guarantee, she can also convince her son not to let her have the surgery.

Afterwards, Coach Tian handled the discharge procedures for his mother, while Gu Xi went to a nearby pharmacy to buy a set of silver needles and some Chinese medicinal materials, and asked the pharmacy staff to pack them according to her requirements.

Thinking of her one hundred younger brothers who would soon undergo more rigorous training, Gu Xi prepared another batch of medicines for injuries.

Then I followed Coach Tian to his home.

This was the first time Gu Xi treated a patient. She took out a silver needle to disinfect it, then closed her eyes. The knowledge of first-level medical skills appeared in her mind.

When she opened her eyes again, her look was calm and steady. She inserted needles into various acupuncture points on Tian's mother's body according to the acupuncture method given in her mind.

Coach Tian was relieved when he saw that Gu Xi's acupuncture was fast and steady and seemed very skilled.

After the acupuncture was completed, Tian's mother immediately smiled and said:

"It really doesn't hurt anymore! I feel very energetic now."

While Gu Xi was disinfecting the silver needle and putting it away, he said:

"Auntie still needs to rest for a while. Take the Chinese medicine I bought, boil one packet a day, and take it for a week. It should be fine, but she still needs to avoid eating desserts and greasy food."

Tian's mother nodded repeatedly. She felt more relaxed and had a deeper faith in traditional Chinese medicine.

Coach Tian sent Gu Xi out and said:

"Xiao Gu, I didn't expect you to be so amazing. Thank you so much today. How much is your medicine and consultation fee? I'll transfer it to you."

Then he took out his cell phone.

Gu Xi waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"No, no, that's not necessary, but it's just a small favor and not much money, you're welcome, Coach Tian."

Coach Tian had no choice but to say:

"Well, if your friend who is filming the skit needs my on-site guidance, please feel free to contact me. I promise to teach you well. This is all I can do."

On-site guidance is impossible, but Gu Xi can take videos every day, provide feedback, and study training plans with Coach Tian.

With such a true special forces instructor, Gu Xi believed that her special forces team would definitely succeed.

After leaving the Tian family, Gu Xi went to the clothing wholesale market and found a store selling camouflage uniforms.

She gave the store owner the height and weight of the 100th soldier and asked him to provide 200 sets of camouflage uniforms, as well as vests, underwear, socks, combat boots, etc., a total of 200 sets.

The boss hadn't received such a large order for a long time, and he immediately said that the store was out of stock. He immediately rushed to the factory in the suburbs and made sure to prepare all the goods and deliver them to the door before tonight.

Gu Xi left his home address and went to a shopping mall selling sports equipment.

According to Coach Tian, we bought a batch of obstacle crossing equipment, barbed wire, horizontal bars, etc.

You can also leave your address and ask the seller to deliver the goods to your door.

Thinking of the soldiers' amazing appetite, Gu Xi went to the agricultural and sideline products wholesale market again.

We bought two full trucks of pork, chicken, eggs, rice, flour, dried noodles, vegetables, etc.

As for beef, it is better not to buy it. According to Gu Xi's understanding, the slaughter of working oxen is prohibited in Anning State.

Faced with the sellers' enthusiastic inquiries, Gu Xi only said that they were purchasing for the canteen of a large factory. Many people also left their phone numbers to Gu Xi, hoping for long-term cooperation.

This place is close to the suburbs, so Gu Xi asked the truck driver to help deliver the goods to a wasteland. He just said that the factory had arranged a car to pick up the goods, and let the truck driver go back.

As soon as everyone left, Gu Xi put the food into the space.

Then he took out the SUV and drove to a gas station in the suburbs. After filling up the gas, he drove a little further.

After making sure that there was no one around, she put the car into the space, then took out her phone to call an online taxi.

It’s not that her driving skills are bad, but that she doesn’t have a driver’s license. There are traffic police in the city, and if they catch her, it will be a big trouble.

After returning to the city, Gu Xi started to raid the fried chicken shops again, and she bought all the fried chicken legs from several nearby stores.

In order to conduct high-intensity training for the soldiers, Gu Xi raided several large supermarkets and bought dozens of boxes of salty soda, dozens of large boxes of milk, and a hundred towels for wiping sweat.

Worried that beverage bottles and milk cartons would cause unnecessary trouble, Gu Xi bought two large wooden barrels with faucets at the bottom.

Just like the kind of draft beer sold in food stalls.

After returning home, she opened two boxes of salty soda and milk and poured them into two large wooden barrels. When the time comes, the soldiers can just turn on the tap and drink from them.

Moreover, her space is kept fresh and there is no need to worry about spoilage.

After putting all the things he bought today into the space, Gu Xi was so tired that his arms and legs were sore, and he fell asleep on the bed.
