"Good, good!"
The elderly man, after hearing Xiao Yi’s words, repeated the word ’good’ twice, his gaze thoughtfully fixed on Xiao Yi, his face showing a trace of appreciation. "Young man, it’s rare to see someone with talent who is not arrogant but modest."
"Doctor Xiao, please, no more polite talk. Since you’ve diagnosed my father’s condition, you must have a way to treat him, right?"
By now, Mr. Ma was extremely anxious, no longer in the mood to praise Xiao Yi’s impressive performance, and grabbed Xiao Yi’s hand directly.
"There should be no problem,"
Xiao Yi said, with a slight smile on his face, nodding his head.
"That’s wonderful, absolutely wonderful! Doctor Xiao, time is of the essence. When can you start the treatment, and is there anything that needs to be prepared? I’ll go get it ready immediately!"
As soon as Mr. Ma heard Xiao Yi’s words, he finally felt completely relieved. The normally composed expression on his face vanished completely, and he looked just like an anxious child, grabbing Xiao Yi’s hand directly.
"There’s nothing that needs to be prepared. I’ll start treating the old gentleman right now."
Xiao Yi smiled, took out from his pocket the silver needles he’d prepared for Mr. Qian’s treatment, and without waiting for any response, he swiftly inserted a needle into the old man’s body.
"By the way, prepare some hot water; the old gentleman may need to take a bath later."
As the needle found its mark, Xiao Yi slowly turned his head, looking at Mr. Ma and the bodyguards who, with eyes wide, seemed to hesitate about whether to rush over, and said to the nurse standing there in bewilderment.
"Yes!"
The nurses quickly responded and turned around to prepare. This high-level VIP ward was a suite, no less luxurious than a five-star hotel, equipped not only with a reception room but also with complete bathing facilities.
They could easily prepare a bath inside.
Mr. Ma and others watched the nurses leave and then came back to their senses, their eyes turning back to the elder Mr. Ma. Seeing that he looked peaceful and showed no signs of pain or any other discomfort, they all heaved a sigh of relief, waved their hands to stop the restless bodyguards, and kept their eyes fixed on Xiao Yi and the old man.
Seeing Mr. Ma’s expression, Xiao Yi smiled faintly, turned his head back, and took out another silver needle, once again aiming at another acupoint on the old man.
After taking the pulse just now, Xiao Yi had a very clear understanding of Elder Mr. Ma’s condition. He could almost be certain that the condition was not as severe as imagined and could be completely cured with his needle technique, along with some medication. He could even use the Ghost Valley Twelve Needles’ Seven-Needle Technique to possibly cure him in one go. However, he did not plan to use the Seven-Needle Technique on the old man immediately.
The Seven-Needle Technique was a very miraculous method, consuming a terrifying amount of energy with each use. If not necessary, he would avoid using it as much as possible.
Elder Mr. Ma was not a particularly close relative but merely an ordinary patient. Moreover, his condition wasn’t incurable without other options, so a simpler method could suffice—just with a slightly longer time required.
Now, Xiao Yi understood that Elder Mr. Ma was no ordinary person. Treating such people was usually the most troublesome because their lives were often deemed more valuable; one couldn’t just proceed as they wished. If he had mentioned using needles from the beginning, it would likely have led to an argument or the need for proof.
Xiao Yi was already somewhat weary of these complications and did not want to delay any further. Thus, he chose to act effectively and swiftly, not giving them a chance to interrupt. By the time they realized what was happening, it was already too late.
The old man’s gaze, once again thoughtful, glanced at Xiao Yi and then slowly closed his eyes.
Although Xiao Yi did not employ the Ghost Valley Twelve Needles’ Seven-Needle Technique, the seven silver needles he used were still put to work. In no time at all, multiple points on the old man’s body were pierced with silver needles. Watching the seven needles vibrating in and out of the old man’s flesh, Mr. Ma, the bodyguards, and even the onlooking caregivers couldn’t help but tense up with nervousness.
The old man’s problem primarily stemmed from a gunshot wound to the heart many years ago, which hadn’t been adequately dealt with at the time. As he aged, the after-effects became apparent, leading to symptoms such as heart failure.
Although Xiao Yi didn’t consider it particularly serious, any other person would definitely not take it lightly. Even Dr. Zhang, a western medicine expert, found it very troublesome and opined that surgery could be highly risky.
This was also the opinion of many other renowned doctors that Mr. Ma had previously consulted.
The elder’s heart, besides showing clear symptoms of rheumatic heart disease and some valve pathologies, also exhibited signs of coronary artery disease. Several blood vessels had hardened and were obstructed, and the myocardium had also developed pathologies due to excessive medication.
Under such circumstances, a moment’s carelessness or lack of attentive care could easily result in loss of life. The fact that the old man had held on until now was undoubtedly linked to his strong will to live and the highly meticulous care he had received due to his special status.
Xiao Yi’s current goal was to rejuvenate the heart, to widen and repair the previously narrowed and hardened blood vessels gradually, and heal the damaged heart completely.
Under the anxious gaze of Mr. Ma and everyone else, it took about ten minutes before Xiao Yi slowly retracted all the needles from the old man’s body and turned around with a slight smile to the nurse who had prepared the bathwater, "Alright, help the elder to take a shower now."
Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Mr. Ma and the others noticed for the first time that the bedsheet underneath the elder, as well as his body, had become slightly damp.
"Dad, how do you feel?"
Mr. Ma asked nervously, looking at the elder who had opened his eyes.
"Young man, you are truly remarkable. This chronic condition has been with me for many years. I have seen quite a few ’Divine Doctors.’ Each time, I went with hope and returned with disappointment. Over the past two years, I had gradually lost faith. This time, opting for surgery was like accepting fate and taking a gamble. However, after your miraculous acupuncture just now, this old man has suddenly found new hope for recovery!"
The elder didn’t respond to Mr. Ma’s question but instead turned his head with a very affectionate smile towards Xiao Yi, "Rest assured, I’m not saying this to pressure you. I just want to tell you that I believe in your medical skills! Whatever you need or request, whatever treatment plan you propose, I will cooperate with you to the best of my ability. Moreover, whatever the final result, whether you fully cure me or not, neither I nor my family will blame you!"
After speaking, he patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder amiably and turned to walk towards the washroom with the support of the nurses.
Hearing the elder’s words, a look of awe appeared on everyone’s faces, especially Mr. Ma and his subordinates, who looked utterly incredulous.
They had been with the elder for many years and were very familiar with his temperament. Perhaps due to the long-standing illness, especially in these past two years, his temperament had become even more capricious. Even Mr. Ma found it difficult to communicate with him. The elder had always been cool and indifferent to doctors. When had they ever seen him place such trust in one?
The results of Xiao Yi’s acupuncture were already quite evident.
What shocked them was what the elder felt when Xiao Yi’s needles pricked his body to elicit such a response from him?
After watching the old man enter the washroom, all eyes turned to Xiao Yi, each face showing incredulity. None of them harbored any more doubts, yet they were all immensely curious about how such a young man could possess such profound medical skills!
"Xiao Yi, did you really cure his illness? Is this true?"
Dr. Zhang was the first to snap out of it. Despite losing the patient, there wasn’t a trace of displeasure on his face. Instead, he was excitedly holding Xiao Yi’s hand, asking with a look of disbelief.
"No, the elder’s sickness, while not particularly severe, isn’t so easily cured entirely,"
Xiao Yi shook his head with a smile and then turned to Mr. Ma, "Mr. Ma, do you have paper and pen here? I have two prescriptions: one for a medicinal soup and the other for a therapeutic bath. Follow my prescriptions and prepare a bath for the elder every day with the water."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Mr. Ma quickly came back to his senses. While nodding his head like a pecking chicken, he gestured vigorously for someone to bring paper and pen.
An aide quickly produced a pen and notepad, which Mr. Ma took and handed to Xiao Yi.
Taking the paper and pen, Xiao Yi began to write quickly. Soon, he had filled out two slips, which he handed to Mr. Ma, "Pay attention to the quality of the medicinal ingredients; try to find the best ones. Also, the oral medicine should be boiled with not too much water, one bowl will do, and it shouldn’t be cooked for too long or over too high a heat. This should be easily done by the hospital’s pharmacy department." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
