Chapter 139: Separating muscles and bones
"You're not in a hurry. My suggestion is that you wait first. I'll look for connections to see if there is that kind of tenement house. The price is still cheap. If you don't live in it, just treat it as an investment. Once it's sold, I'll sell it. Maybe you can still make money," Li Xinzhu suggested.
“That’s fine, thank you.”
“You are too polite.” Li Xinzhu said with a smile.
“I’ll treat you to a treat tonight, king crab.”
“That thing is not affordable, and you won’t be full. Let’s have a buffet.” Li Xinzhu said with a smile.
The two of them came to the cafeteria. Before eating, Wang An asked Li Xinzhu to stretch out his arm and took his pulse. Then they ate under the attention of the waiter for more than an hour before stopping.
After finishing the meal, Wang An asked Li Xinzhu to stretch out his arm and take his pulse.
“No, what’s going on with you?” Li Xinzhu was very surprised when he saw this.
“I’m studying Chinese medicine.” Wang An said matter-of-factly.
“You are studying Chinese medicine to treat the elderly?”
Wang An nodded.
“Isn’t it too late to start learning now?”
"It's never too late as long as you're willing to take action. I didn't learn Tai Chi since I was a child. Isn't it already pretty good now? Besides, medicine and martial arts are not separated. Learning some medical knowledge will have a certain promotion effect on kung fu. .”
The first thing he needs to do now is to get started with traditional Chinese medicine, and then find ways to continuously add experience. It’s just that traditional Chinese medicine has many branch capabilities, such as diagnosis, medicine, massage, and acupuncture, just like Kung Fu has many types of boxing techniques.
So far he wants to start with diagnostics and pharmaceuticals. If you want to cure a disease, you must first know how to see a doctor, make a diagnosis with traditional Chinese medicine, and listen, listen, ask and understand. Treatment methods include acupuncture, medication, massage, etc.
On their way back from the cafeteria, they saw two vehicles from the security bureau speeding past. It seemed like something big had happened.
After returning home, Wang An practiced breathing according to the method in the ancient Tai Chi book, and then began to learn the relevant knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis. He had already read a small part of the thick tome.
The improvement of his physical fitness through practicing Qigong has improved his memory and understanding a lot compared to a year ago. He can basically remember some knowledge in books after reading it several times, and a lot of knowledge is also easy to understand and comprehend.
The view that practicing martial arts will make people simple-minded and strong-limbed is actually very one-sided. People who can practice kung fu to a certain level are generally talented people, and strong qi and blood will make their thinking sharper.
When the time came, Wang An turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next morning he went to Heruntang again. This time he bought two wild ginseng trees and ten understory ginseng trees, intending to try the difference between the two types of ginseng.
Now Wang An has become an important customer of Heruntang. After all, few people would buy ginseng to eat as carrots like Wang An. Now the price of the ginseng he buys has dropped a lot compared to when he first came to buy it.
Such regular customers must receive certain care.
When he returned to his residence with the ginseng, he found Xu Huang waiting for him outside the door, looking a little tired.
“Captain Xu, long time no see, do you have anything to do with me?”
“Long time no see, I really have something to ask you.”
“Please come in.” Wang An invited Xu Huang into the house.
“This is the ginseng you bought?” Xu Huang stared at the box containing ginseng in Wang An’s hand.
“Yes, replenish your body.” Wang An said with a smile.
"Take care of yourself. A person like a dragon and tiger like you still needs to take care of yourself?" Xu Huang was a little surprised after hearing this. Wang An just smiled and made him a cup of tea.
“Captain Xu, if you have anything to do, you might as well just say it.”
"Look at this." Xu Huang took out a photo and placed it in front of Wang An's eyes. The photo showed a person. This person's arms were cut behind his back, and his whole person showed a weird twisted posture, like a twist. Yes, the whole person was covered in blood, very miserable.
"This is a tragedy that happened last night. After our analysis, the victim was probably twisted into this state by life." Xu Huang said.
"It's so powerful to twist it like this!" Wang An couldn't help but sigh. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Huang, "Captain Xu, you don't suspect that I did it, do you?"
"Of course not, we have found that person from the nearby surveillance footage. From the back comparison analysis, it is not you." Xu Huang said with a smile.
“I still doubted it, so what’s your purpose of coming here?”
"I think it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to beat someone like this. This person must have practiced kung fu. I just want to ask what kind of kung fu can beat someone like this?"
"This?" Wang An stared at the photo for a while, "To hurt someone like this requires a lot of strength and special skills. I don't know what kind of Kung Fu can beat someone like this."
Even if Wang An were to take action, he might not be able to beat someone like this. You must know that there are many ways to beat someone to death, and twisting someone into a knot is probably rare.
“Could it be the kind of Kung Fu in novels like splitting muscles and breaking bones and hands?” Wang Anxin asked.
“Then why did he kill this man?”
“We are also checking. If Mr. Wang remembers anything, please give me a call.”
“Okay.” Wang An smiled and nodded. After sending Xu Huang away, he thought about the photo he just saw.
"Strength and very strange techniques, that person should know more about the joints and bones of the human body." He was just curious for a moment and didn't take it seriously.
After staying at his residence for two days, it happened to be the weekend. He was going back to his hometown to see the two elderly people. He had bought gifts and was about to leave when an unexpected phone call made him change his itinerary.
In a teahouse in Hu'an City, Wang An met a friend, Yan Muyun, who came from thousands of miles away. It seemed that there was something urgent.
“Why did you come to Hu’an suddenly?”
“I’m looking for someone to ask you for help.”
“Looking for someone, who?”
"A cousin of mine came here secretly alone. He should be looking for someone here. I'm afraid that he is in danger, so I won't answer my calls now. I don't know where he is." Yan Muyun said with worry. .
“Don’t worry, what’s your cousin’s name, what does he look like, and who is he here looking for?”
"His name is Yan Mufeng. He came here because a case happened in Hu'an three days ago. A man was killed in a unique way, and his whole body became strangely twisted."
“What does this case have to do with your cousin?”
"About a month ago, his best friend's whole family was killed. The death was like this. He has been investigating the murderer. When he heard that such a case was happening here, he came here regardless of his family's objections." Yan Muyun's words surprised Wang An quite a bit.
“Your cousin is quite loyal.”
"That's not loyalty, that's reckless impulse, without considering the feelings of the family at all. That person is definitely not something he can deal with. If he really encounters him, he will be in danger." Yan Muyun said.
“My second uncle is also here. He is seeking help from the Guard Bureau, so I came to ask you for help.”
"Well, no problem. I'll find someone to help right away. Don't be too anxious." Wang An found Li Xinzhu and asked him to help find someone. Li Xinzhu immediately arranged for someone to find him without saying a word.
This is just a city in Lake Anoda, with a population of tens of millions. It is not easy to find one person.
"Do you know the origin of the murderer? Why did he kill people in Yanzhao and come to Hu'an again?"
“I don’t know, I only know that the Kung Fu he used should be a very special Kung Fu similar to splitting muscles and breaking bones, and the method is extremely cruel.”
Two days passed quickly, and the person was still not found.
Just when Yan Muyun was a little restless, he received a call. The caller was his cousin.
"Where are you? I'm telling you not to be impulsive. Your abilities are no match for him. Do you know how worried your family is about you? Hello?"
After hanging up the phone, Yan Muyun asked Wang An to drive him to a convenience hotel in Hu'an City.
