Chapter 180 Li Ruochu gives Ji Wuchen acupuncture
"You mean there's still a chance for me to stand up? Do you have a way for me to stand up?"
Ji Wuchen's eyes widened instantly, with excitement flashing in his eyes, as if someone who had been groping in the dark for a long time suddenly saw a ray of light.
He stared at Li Ruochu closely, his hands unconsciously clenched the armrests of the wheelchair, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last stood up and walked. The days when he used to walk freely and run wantonly seemed like a thing of the past lifetime.
At this moment, Li Ruchu's words were like a key, opening the long-closed door of hope in his heart.
"Although I have studied Chinese medicine, I have never actually practiced it. You can go find a Chinese medicine practitioner." Li Ruochu was a little conflicted, and she didn't dare to act rashly against Ji Wuchen.
After all, Chinese medicine treatment requires experience and precise techniques, and she was worried that she would not be able to master the skills well enough and would end up making things worse.
She looked at Ji Wuchen with a hint of sincerity and helplessness in her eyes, trying to make him understand the risks involved.
Ji Wuchen looked at the woman in front of him, his expression suddenly changed, and he said two words in a firm tone: "Come here!"
His eyes revealed an unquestionable determination, as if he was sure that Li Ruchu was the person who could help him.
"Me?" Li Ruochu was slightly stunned, his face full of surprise and disbelief.
She stared at Ji Wuchen with wide eyes, as if she was looking at an alien, "Are you kidding? I said I only learned it, but I haven't practiced it."
She secretly groaned in her heart, wondering how this man could be so stubborn and not consider the consequences at all.
"Do you want everyone in Country F to know that I, Ji Wuchen, have become a cripple?" Ji Wuchen frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure and worry in his eyes.
Now, apart from the Long family and people close to him, no one knows how miserable he is now.
The Long family knew clearly that they had offended the Ji family, so in order to avoid more trouble, they naturally would not publicize the matter.
If outsiders knew that the young master of the Ji family had become a cripple, who knows what kind of uproar it would cause.
Even if they go to the hospital for surgery, the surgery will be performed by Ji family's trusted confidants, who will never reveal a word to outsiders.
"Are you crazy? What if my skills are not good enough and the legs that could have been saved are really broken?"
Li Ruochu was a little anxious. She felt that she had made it very clear. She only said that there was still hope of saving his leg, but she did not say that she could guarantee that there would be no problems.
Wouldn’t it be better to find an experienced and reliable Chinese medicine practitioner?
Why must we pin our hopes on her, someone who has no practical experience?
"It doesn't matter. I can't stand up now anyway. It doesn't matter even if I get hurt." Ji Wuchen gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
In his mind, rather than being confined to a wheelchair and enduring the physical and mental torture, it would be better to give it a try. Even if the result is still the worst, it is just maintaining the status quo.
"Which is more important, face or legs?" Li Ruochu couldn't help but raise her voice. She really couldn't understand Ji Wuchen's thoughts.
In her opinion, restoring the health of her legs is the most important thing, and how can face be compared with the opportunity to walk again.
"Face is important!" Ji Wuchen answered without hesitation, his tone firm.
He raised his chin slightly, with a stubborn look on his face. In this circle, face is sometimes more important to him than life.
The honor of his family and his own dignity would not allow him to appear in front of everyone as a disabled person.
Li Ruochu was speechless for a moment and felt angry and anxious.
If face is more important, why bother treating your legs?
She shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself that it seemed she had no choice but to take the risk.
"Okay, I'll help you, but you have to promise me one thing!" Li Ruochu took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a hint of determination.
She knew she couldn't back down anymore and could only take this chance.
After all, Ji Wuchen might be her only hope to find Feng Yizhou in this strange environment.
"You say!" Ji Wuchen looked at Li Ruchu, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes.
He knew that Li Ruchu's conditions meant that she was willing to try, which ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"During the treatment, please help me find Feng Yizhou." Li Ruochu bit her lower lip slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
She knew very well that she couldn't show up easily, after all, Zhong Tingyan was still sending people everywhere to look for her.
If she fell into Zhong Tingyan's hands again, she really didn't know whether she would live to see Feng Yizhou again.
"Okay!" Ji Wuchen agreed readily without any hesitation.
For him, finding someone is not difficult. As long as there is a chance to stand up again, any price seems worth it.
Soon, Ji Wuchen gave a signal with his eyes, and his men acted quickly. Soon they prepared a set of silver needles and sent them over.
The silver needle was placed in an exquisite wooden box, and under the sunlight, it sparkled with a cold metallic luster.
Li Ruochu slowly stretched out his hand and picked up the silver needle, but his hand couldn't help but tremble slightly.
There was an obvious hesitation on her face, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and uneasiness.
After all, this was the first time she had truly used the Chinese medicine knowledge she had learned to treat others, and the case was so important.
Taking a deep breath, Li Ruochu tried to calm himself down.
She squatted down slightly, stretched out her hand and gently touched the acupoints on Ji Wuchen's legs, her fingers moving slowly on his legs.
Every movement is done with great care, as if touching an invaluable piece of work of art.
After determining the position, she gritted her teeth and inserted the silver needle in one go.
At that moment, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her eyes fixed on Ji Wuchen's face, and she asked anxiously: "How is it, do you feel it?"
"No!" Ji Wuchen shook his head, with a hint of disappointment in his voice. But his eyes remained firm, and he was not discouraged by the temporary lack of response.
"It's okay, let's try again." Li Ruochu bit her lip and secretly encouraged herself.
She picked up the silver needle again, found the acupuncture point, and continued to insert needles into Ji Wuchen's leg.
One, two, three... As time went by, Ji Wuchen's legs were gradually covered with silver needles of various sizes, like a hedgehog.
Li Ruochu's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which slowly slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground, but he was completely unaware.
Just then, Sophia walked in with a cup of steaming coffee.
When her eyes fell on the dense silver needles on Ji Wuchen's legs, her eyes widened instantly, and the blood color on her face instantly faded, turning pale.
"Ah!" She couldn't help but scream, and the coffee cup in her hand slipped uncontrollably.
The scalding coffee splashed everywhere, soaking her skirt, but she seemed unaware.
