Chapter 555 Bloodletting Treatment
——I can’t cure him.
Upon hearing this, the anger that He Weiguo had suppressed with great difficulty suddenly emerged again. If Lu Zhanlin had not been guarding Chu Yue, he would have rushed to Chu Yue and asked her why!
He Weiguo gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Chu Yue. "You were acting so impressive just now, and now you say it can't be cured after just a few glances! Chu Yue, is it that you can't cure it, or do you just not want to? If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let you in!"
In fact, he still had expectations in his heart, hoping that a miracle would happen from Chu Yue. After all, Chu Yue was introduced by Commander He, and even Fang Xiuli spoke up for her.
But unexpectedly, all hopes were dashed.
Anger and loss hit He Weiguo together, making him speak without thinking and sharp.
Fang Xiuli spoke again to comfort He Weiguo, "Brother He, calm down first and listen to what A Yue has to say."
She hurriedly looked at Chu Yue again, "Ah Yue, it's already this late, please tell me more and stop keeping us in suspense. What's going on with Grandpa He? Why can't he be cured? Is there really nothing even you can do?"
Chu Yue shook her head helplessly and said regretfully, "It's too late...it can't be cured. The old man is not sick, he is poisoned, and the poison has penetrated into his bones."
"Poisoned?!"
The same cry came out of He Weiguo and Fang Xiuli's mouths, staring at Chu Yue in disbelief. Even Lu Zhanlin's eyelids moved, looking very surprised.
Fang Xiuli guessed nervously, "...You mean...someone...someone...poisoned Grandpa He?"
Being sick is just a matter of life and death, but poisoning is a criminal case, and even involves people around Mr. He.
The matter has such a wide impact that if Chu Yue dares to say a wrong word, she will be implicated.
He Weiguo flatly denied it, "Impossible! Grandpa has been at home the entire time, eating, wearing, and living the same as the rest of us. How could he be the only one poisoned while everyone else is fine?"
Chu Yue looked up at him and explained, "Judging from the old man's physical condition, he wasn't poisoned recently. He was poisoned decades ago, and the toxin has remained in his body ever since. When he was in good health, his immune system could metabolize the toxin, so he seemed healthy and pain-free. But as the old man got older and weaker, the toxin spread throughout his body, attacking his nervous system and various organs..."
...After the damage reaches a certain level, there is no way to recover.
Chu Yue did not say the last sentence, but the three people around her were all adults, so they naturally understood what Chu Yue meant.
Too deeply poisoned...
Too much damage to the body...
There is no cure...
There's no way to save it...
He Weiguo's figure suddenly shook, his pupils contracted slightly, with an expression of disbelief and shock, as well as fear that the old man of the He family had been declared dead.
Is... is it just like this?
"Poisoning... How could it be poisoning?... So many professors and doctors, so many sophisticated instruments... None of them could find out what's wrong. And you, just by taking my pulse, figured it out? Impossible. I don't believe it."
Even though He Weiguo knew in his heart that he was deceiving himself, he did not want to accept this reality.
Fang Xiuli was also in a trance at this time. After all, he was her neighbor's grandfather who she had lived with for many years and watched her grow up when she was a child. Before the separation of life and death, she still felt sad in her heart.
She suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago.
"Brother He! Brother He... do you remember when we were little... when Grandpa He told us a story? He said he was leading troops to war in the mountains near the Miao village. One day, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. He just grabbed some herbs near the snake and ate them. He didn't have the time or the means to see a doctor."
"At that time, everyone said Grandpa He would not survive that ordeal and might even die. But Grandpa He pulled through, as if nothing had happened. People around him couldn't believe it. Grandpa He also said it was a miracle, saying he was blessed with a long life and was not destined to die."
"Could it be that he was poisoned at that time?"
The old man of the He family treated that incident as an interesting anecdote from the war years and told it with pride.
Fang Xiuli had heard of it, and He Weiguo had also heard of it.
Poisonous snake, years of poisoning... This information coincided with what Chu Yue said.
She really made the diagnosis just by taking my pulse!
The shock on He Weiguo's face became more obvious, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chu Yue changed silently.
For a moment, there was silence.
Fang Xiuli's eyes turned red as she asked softly, "Ayue, is there really...really no way? Is there really no cure? Even if it's just to make Grandpa He suffer less, or live a little longer?"
Any little bit of hope is a comfort to the family.
Chu Yue said, "I'll try."
This was also the first time she encountered such a complicated situation, and the person involved was so powerful that every step she took was risky.
As she spoke, Chu Yue took out the acupuncture bag she was carrying.
A long, thin silver needle appeared in front of everyone.
Chu Yue picked up one, and everyone thought he was going to give acupuncture to Mr. He. Acupuncture treatment was quite common and there was no need to make a fuss.
But this time, Chu Yue was not doing acupuncture.
She held the old man of the He family's hand, and pierced the end of the silver needle into the fingertip. A dark red blood bead instantly gushed out.
He Weiguo became nervous when he suddenly saw blood.
"what are you up to?"
He suddenly stretched out his hand, his arm moving straight towards Chu Yue, but in mid-air, his movement was stopped firmly by another hand.
Lu Zhanlin warned, "Don't disturb her."
He Weiguo froze in place. He was half-believing and half-doubting Chu Yue, and was so conflicted that he couldn't move.
Chu Yue was concentrating on her treatment, while the silver needles continued to pierce the old man's fingers one after another, and dark red blood flowed out.
If you look closely, you will find that Mr. He's blood is a little darker than that of ordinary people.
This is also the best evidence that he was poisoned.
Chu Yue continued to bleed the old man of the He family. The blood beads gushed out, were wiped dry, gushed out again, and were wiped dry again... again and again, over and over again.
During this time, she kept an eye on Mr. He's pulse to avoid any harsh operation.
But the old man of the He family never woke up.
Chu Yue picked up another new silver needle.
This time, she stabbed the base of her palm.
“Ahem!”
Suddenly, a cough was heard. It came from the old man of the He family who was lying on the hospital bed.
"Grandpa!" He Weiguo shouted anxiously.
"Cough cough..." Accompanied by a weak cough, the old man of the He family slowly opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and spoke hoarsely, "Weiguo... Xiuli, you are here too..."
The patient who had been in a coma for two days woke up after Chu Yue's bloodletting treatment.
