Chapter 6: Comparable to a Divine Needle

Bai Zhi, professional and capable, said to Dr. Li, "Could you please support his head? I need to perform acupuncture on the area where his head meets his ear."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shan frowned. "You want to puncture the head and ears? There are a hundred acupoints on the human ear. If you make even the slightest mistake, it could be life-threatening."

“Dr. Lu, you’re right.” Bai Zhi was already making preparations, professional and serious. “In addition, there are many other acupoints that need acupuncture, such as Neiguan, Waiguan, Laogong, and Hegu.”

"Hold his head steady, I'm starting."

Before Lu Shan could say anything more, Bai Zhi had already inserted the first needle into her brain.

Then needles were inserted into her ears.

She asked Dr. Li, "Could you please untie his hands? I need to continue inserting acupuncture into his wrists."

The two doctors glanced at the man on the bed, whose body was still trembling, their expressions conflicted.

What if they let go and start struggling and going crazy like they did before?

Bai Zhi naturally understood Dr. Li's concerns; how could she not be worried?

If Lu Ye loses control, with needles still in his head, the consequences are unimaginable.

However, all acupoints must be needled for treatment.

She took a deep breath, bent down to look at the man on the hospital bed, and tried to reassure him, "Comrade Lu Ye, let's hang in there, okay? You are a great hero we admire. I believe in your willpower, and I'm sure you can get through this."

"You won't feel so bad after the acupuncture. Trust me, I'm a very skilled doctor, I'll definitely be able to cure you."

Her fair face was incredibly sincere, her eyes were so clear and firm, and her voice was gentle and elegant, as if it possessed a calming power.

Seeing that his lips were bluish and dry, Bai Zhi took out a fruit candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth.

"When you're in pain, eat a piece of candy and tell yourself that life is sweet."

The candy that Zhang Ma gave her in the kitchen, she hoped it would come in handy now.

When Xie Yun and Lu Shan saw Bai Zhi feeding Lu Ye candy, their expressions hardened slightly. Just as they were about to stop her, they saw Lu Ye obediently put the candy in his mouth.

Xie Yun, "!!!"

Lu Shan: "???"

His younger brother never eats sweets.

this.......

Did he really have hallucinogens in his system?

Seeing that Lu Ye actually listened to Bai Zhi's words, Dr. Li and Dr. Yang also gained confidence. They carefully borrowed his hand, but they didn't dare to let their guard down. They pressed down on his legs to prevent him from moving around.

Bai Zhi deftly inserted needles into his wrist and palm.

The whole process was swift, accurate, and ruthless.

She wasn't familiar with Lu Ye; they had only met once three years ago.

Therefore, I don't know what to say at this moment.

She gestured for Lu Zheng'an to talk to Xie Yun and Lu Ye more to distract them.

Although her acupuncture method can control acute drug attacks, it is, after all, a medical technique, not magic.

It takes at least until the entire acupuncture process is completed before it will be effective.

The atmosphere in the ward was quite somber.

Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun encouraged their son to be strong.

Lu Shan's cool eyes fell on Bai Zhi's face, filled with a strong sense of inquiry.

Bai Zhi's attention was always on the silver needles, and she performed the acupuncture every five minutes.

After repeating this process six times, the needles are removed.

When she removed the second needle, the man on the bed finally quieted down completely and slowly closed his eyes.

Everyone breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The look in Bai Zhi's eyes was full of disbelief.

Dr. Li and Dr. Yang were especially excited.

“Miss Baizhi, let’s go to the office and talk further.”

"Okay." Bai Zhi nodded slightly to Lu Zheng'an and then went out with Dr. Li and the others.

Lu Shan still looked bewildered, astonished at what had just happened.

"Dad, Mom, isn't Xiaoye's fiancé a country bumpkin? How could he be related to the Ye family of Bincheng?"

“I’m not quite sure either,” Lu Zheng’an said. “Let’s not talk about this for now.”

He said to his wife Xie Yun, "Old Xie, you stay with our son. Xiao Shan and I will go to the doctor's office and hear what Dr. Li and the others have to say."

"good."

When Lu Zheng'an and Lu Shan arrived at the office, Bai Zhi was explaining Lu Ye's condition to the two doctors with a serious and professional expression.

Dr. Li nodded repeatedly, "Dr. Bai, what you said matches Comrade Lu's situation perfectly."

"Aside from acupuncture, are there any other treatment options?" he asked.

"Of course there are. Acupuncture, specially made Chinese herbal fumigation, and after his external injuries heal, he can take a medicinal bath. If he needs treatment, he will need a complete systemic therapy."

When Dr. Li saw Lu Zheng'an and Lu Shan come in, he looked at them and said, "Mr. Lu, since Dr. Bai's maternal grandfather is Elder Ye of Derentang, I would like to report to the leadership whether we should send someone to Bincheng to invite Elder Ye to treat Comrade Lu Ye."

Dr. Li was very interested in the traditional Chinese medicine treatments that Bai Zhi described and had high hopes for them.

But they could never be so naive as to entrust such an important matter to a little girl.

Of course, we have to ask her maternal grandfather to come out of retirement.

Lu Shan hesitated, "Dr. Li, is there no other way at our military hospital?"

"Dr. Lu, as you've seen, we've been using sedatives for the past few days, but they haven't been able to control Company Commander Lu's condition. He just had surgery and is currently weak and lacks willpower. If this condition continues uncontrolled, the wound could tear and become infected, with unimaginable consequences."

Moreover, Comrade Lu Ye is the only comrade who survived the live experiments conducted on him by those criminals. We lack experience in this area, and all the experts who should have been consulted have been consulted. We have been working hard to find a treatment plan, but the situation is urgent now. We cannot afford to slowly study treatment methods; saving lives is the priority.”

Dr. Yang chimed in, "Yes, since Dr. Bai Zhi has a way to control it with acupuncture, then her grandfather will definitely be able to save Comrade Lu Ye."

"Okay, please consult with the hospital leadership. We, the family, will fully cooperate and send someone to fetch them immediately."

Bai Zhi overheard Dr. Li discussing with Lu Zheng'an about inviting her maternal grandfather. She explained, "Uncle Lu, my maternal grandfather lived in a cowshed in his early years. He has an eccentric personality and treats patients only according to his mood. He's not in Bincheng right now; he's traveling and won't be back until the end of the year."

"Bai Zhi, what did you say?" Lu Shan had initially begun to believe Bai Zhi, but upon hearing this, she frowned again. "Are you stalling for time?"

"Dr. Lu, it's only a seven or eight-hour drive from Nancheng to Bincheng. Just go to Derentang in Bincheng and see if anyone is there."

In my past life, my maternal grandfather would go to Yunwu Mountain every summer to escape the heat, and Derentang would close its doors.

Her uncle didn't know how to treat patients, so he had to close the shop.

Bai Zhi's delicate, fair face was now incredibly serious, making one believe her. "Bai Zhi, your uncle believes in you,"

Lu Zheng'an's attitude relieved Bai Zhi.

As long as Lu Zheng'an trusts her, she can treat Lu Ye.

As for her maternal grandfather's side...

Even if he were to come, he would be helpless in dealing with Lu Ye's current situation.

In her previous life, it was after Lu Ye and the group of nameless heroes' deeds were published in the newspaper that they were deeply moved, which led her and her grandfather to begin to devote themselves to studying traditional Chinese medicine treatments for this purpose.

Bai Zhi knew very well that if she hadn't brought up her grandfather, the Lu family and these doctors would never have let her perform acupuncture on Lu Ye.

She also knew that Lu Zheng'an said he believed her, but he would definitely still go to Bincheng to investigate.

"Lu Ye's condition is stable now. He should be able to sleep until tomorrow morning. When he wakes up, I'll give him some light porridge. If he still needs acupuncture to control the condition, please let me know in advance. Try to avoid injections, as the side effects are too severe."

She said to Lu Shan, "Also, change his dressing and treat the scratches to prevent infection."

After speaking, she bid farewell to Lu Zheng'an, "Uncle Lu, I'll be going back now. Grandpa Lu will be worried if he wakes up and finds me gone."

"Lu Ye will be fine tonight. You and your aunt should also get some rest. There's still a tough battle ahead. As family members, you must take care of yourselves."

"Oh, okay." Bai Zhi exuded a powerful and professional aura, completely controlling everyone's emotions and making them unconsciously follow her lead.

Just as Bai Zhi was about to leave, Lu Zheng'an called her back.

Lu Zheng'an asked Lu Shan to treat the cut on Bai Zhi's forehead.

Lu Shan brought over some iodine, and Bai Zhi took the cotton swab and disinfected herself.

It's just a minor scrape, but it still hurts. My bangs are covering it so you can't see anything for now, but usually, it'll be bruised by tomorrow morning.

She just boils an egg and rolls it in the water at night.

"Bai Zhi, take this money and take a taxi home."

The little girl was dressed so simply, her family must be struggling financially, and she probably didn't have much money.

"No need, Uncle, I have the fare."

Bai Zhi left with her cloth bag.

Lu Shan stared at her retreating figure before belatedly realizing that the country girl had just been ordering her around.

As the only female orthopedic surgeon in the military hospital, Lu Shan was strong-willed and proud. Even male doctors of the same rank as her had never given her such orders.

Although Bai Zhi's attitude just now was not problematic.

But in her mind, she was just a country girl who knew nothing and had never seen the world, at most a barefoot doctor.

Besides, he is seven or eight years younger than her.

Bai Zhi's professional and rigorous aura was comparable to that of their director, making Bai Zhi, an outstanding individual, feel ashamed of her own inferiority.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.
