Back at home, Wang Xiaoqiang did not sleep but instead opened the book "Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of the Human Body" borrowed from Elder Qingshan, and began to carefully read under the light…

At the outset of the book, there was an explanation of the Five Elements—everything in the universe, based on their characteristics, could systematically be categorized into five major classes: "metal," "wood," "water," "fire," and "earth." These classes were collectively called the Five Elements.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth did not refer to five specific individual substances. For instance, the metal in the Five Elements did not solely refer to gold, but rather to an abstract summary of five different attributes of everything in the universe, which should be fully understood for their true essence.

Following that, the book provided a rough overview of the interactions and correspondences of the Five Elements, and then detailed descriptions of their correspondences with the human body.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang only had a middle school education, he was smart and quick to grasp concepts. After he read through the entire book, some of his confusions were resolved.

For example, during the day, while giving his father a massage, the greenish aura that emanated from his fingertips should be what is classified as "wood" in the Five Elements because the color corresponding to wood in the Five Elements is green. Combining this with the statement about the Five Elements Spirit Spring deriving Five Element Spiritual Energy, it could be precisely said that the greenish aura was the Wood Element Spiritual Qi.

Similarly, during "irrigation" of the corn seedlings, the black aura that spilled out from his fingertips should be what is classified as "water" in the Five Elements, as the color corresponding to water in the Five Elements is black, succinctly stated, it was Water Element Spiritual Qi.

The "wood" in the Five Elements corresponded to the liver in the human body, which governs growth. In other words, the wood of the Five Elements also promotes growth, thus the green Wood Element Spiritual Qi appeared vigorously lively, giving people a feeling of flourishing vitality.

At this point, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly became excited because he felt that his Wood Element Spiritual Qi could not only treat new injuries but could also be effective on old injuries. Take his parents' crippled legs from the car accident, the injuries involved the knee bones and ligament tissues. Such injuries would typically heal in a young person in about half a year without any residual effects, but it was different for Wang Xiaoqiang's parents. At the time of the accident, they were both nearly sixty years old, and their bodies' organs and tissues were in a state of decay, sapped of vitality. According to local rural sayings, their bones were almost chaff, and for them to fully recover was as hard as reaching heaven,

but now, with his invigorating Wood Element Spiritual Qi, healing his parents' partially crippled legs was entirely possible.

Although this was just a bold conjecture he made after reading the book and summarizing his thoughts, it was certain that the green aura, even if it would not affect his parents' old injuries, definitely wouldn't cause any harm.

With this thought, Wang Xiaoqiang became somewhat impatient to test and verify his theory. If the Two Elders of the Wang Family's legs could fully recover, regaining the ability to move freely, it would be an extraordinarily beautiful thing for them and for their family!

Just then, a cough was heard from the courtyard; it was his father's, followed by his mother's voice, "Old man, why aren't you sleeping again?"

"Ah, it's hot, and I can't sleep, just checking to see if it's going to rain…"

"The weather forecast said there won't be any rain."

The Two Elders of the Wang Family's legs were affected by severe injuries resulting in partial disability. Though they could walk, it was very inconvenient. In the absence of someone to support them, they had to use crutches to move around. For safety, the old couple was always together. They went in and out together.

Seeing that his parents were still awake, Wang Xiaoqiang also went out to the courtyard, where he found his parents sitting on small stools, looking like they wouldn't go inside to sleep for a while.

As people age, they naturally sleep less, especially during these sweltering summer nights.

His father looked up at the sky, which was muggy but clear, with not a cloud in sight, showing no signs of impending rain. Dropping his gaze, his father sighed, "Ah, it looks like we'll need to irrigate. The fifty mu of fields Xiaoqiang contracted, if we irrigate them all, it would cost maybe one or two thousand yuan…"

Wang Xiaoqiang approached his parents and said, "Dad, our fields don't need irrigating…"

Wang Xiaoqiang believed that after being nourished by the Water Element Spiritual Qi, his fifty acres of autumn crops should last for a while, maybe even until harvest time. After all, Water Element Spiritual Qi was not something simple water could compare with.

Upon hearing him, his father turned his head, looking somewhat astonished, and glanced at his son. "Sheesh, are you talking in your sleep in the middle of the night?"

Wang Xiaoqiang kneeled in front of his father and countered, "Dad, do I look like I'm talking in my sleep?"

"If it's not sleep talk, then it's nonsense…" His father pulled out a pack of Spring Thunder Smoke, took one out, lit it, and started to smoke.

However, his mother stared at her youngest son with a doting look and countered her husband, "Little Qiang never talks nonsense. What he means is that it's going to rain... Right, Little Qiang?"

Wang Xiaoqiang neither confirmed nor denied but moved closer to his mother. Still kneeling, he reached out to the old injury on his mother's knee, saying, "Mom, let me massage your leg…"

"It's already crippled, why bother…" His mother mockingly slapped her leg and told her son, "Darling, go to sleep."

Although Wang Xiaoqiang was already an adult, his mother still used pet names in the absence of outsiders. However, Wang Xiaoqiang did not find this cringeworthy; instead, he felt the warmth of maternal love,

During a clear and quiet summer night, feeling the enriching familial love at his parents' knees, Little Qiang felt an overwhelming sense of happiness as he quietly placed his hands on the old injuries on his mother's knees, on both the left and the right.

In the semi-translucent twilight of orange and blue, ten streams of green qi flowed from the ten fingertips of Wang Xiaoqiang, burrowing into his mother's knees. The vibrant green, full of vitality, looked dazzling in the nighttime, but this fantastical and splendid scene was something only Wang Xiaoqiang could appreciate.

Wang Xiaoqiang symbolically gently massaged his mother's old injury. His mother did not refuse or pay too much attention, but when a rush of cool sensations entered her body, she couldn't help but lower her head, her gaze falling on her son's hands, showing a look of surprised doubt.

"Little Qiang, are you massaging the acupoints for mom?"

"Yes…" Wang Xiaoqiang feigned ignorance. "But I'm not sure if it's right. I'm just trying what I've read from books…"

"Yes, absolutely right!" His mother, feeling the cool comfort, couldn't stop exclaiming, "This makes my leg feel much lighter…"

As she spoke, she moved her leg unconsciously, feeling the previously stiff and heavy joints become flexible and easy to move.

His father's attention was also drawn over. He had experienced his son's magical hands earlier in the day. Now, seeing his wife praising their son's massage techniques, he was not only free of doubt but also envious, and couldn't help but request, "Little Qiang, give dad a massage too after this…"

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile, finishing the "massage" for his mother. He was still exploring how to heal injuries with the Wood Element Spiritual Qi, and although he was eager, he needed to test and confirm at each step.

As Wang Xiaoqiang moved to his father, he said to his mother, "Mom, try walking…"

Indeed, without needing Wang Xiaoqiang's encouragement, his mother felt the urge to try walking. Under the expectant gaze of father and son, she stood up, forgoing the walking stick, and tentatively took a couple of steps. Masterfully, she walked two steps without struggle or falling, causing her, the person experiencing it, to exclaim with surprise, "Hey, hey, it really works, I can walk!!"

Expressing excitement, she continued walking like an infant learning to navigate in Handan, full of enthusiasm. After a few more steps, she finally realized that she might truly be able to leave the walking stick behind.

Seeing his wife able to walk without a walking stick after a single session of massage from their son, Wang Kuishan excitedly slapped his thigh: "Little Qiang, quickly, give your dad a massage too…"
