Chapter 23: An Awkward Posture
Lu Ye's heavy body collapsed onto Dr. Li, almost as if Dr. Li was holding him.
Because there were needles in the back of his neck, Dr. Li dared not move him, much less let Lu Ye lie flat.
Although it was very tiring to hold Lu Ye like this, at least Lu Ye had fallen asleep, and they were safe.
Dr. Li, covered in sweat, looked at Bai Zhi with gratitude and admiration, as if she were a savior.
He and Dr. Yang have really suffered a lot during this period.
Bai Zhi saved Lu Ye, which indirectly saved both of their lives.
If Lu Ye continues to have this outburst, the two of them will probably be tortured to death.
They genuinely believe that authoritative experts should not underestimate the importance of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
Bai Zhi could tell that Dr. Li was very tired, so she asked softly.
"Dr. Li, I'm afraid to move right now, can you hold on?"
Dr. Li took a deep breath and said, "You can manage, Dr. Xiao Bai, please start the acupuncture."
Bai Zhi began to perform acupuncture on Lu Ye, using the same acupoints as before.
After seeing Director Zhou out, Lu Shan came back. When she came in, she saw Lu Ye asleep on Dr. Li. She looked at her parents in surprise, and Xie Yun made a shushing gesture to signal her to be quiet.
Everyone in the ward held their breath, watching Bai Zhi receive the acupuncture.
Just as Bai Zhi was performing acupuncture three times, the man in Dr. Li's arms gradually regained consciousness and slowly opened his eagle eyes, which were devoid of any human emotion.
He was stunned for two seconds, and when he realized what position he was in and whose arms he was leaning against, his handsome face turned visibly gloomy, and he tried to get up immediately.
Bai Zhi stopped him, "Company Commander Lu, don't move, you have needles on you."
Hearing the girl's command, Lu Ye raised his eyes, meeting her shimmering, watery gaze, staring at her blankly...
Bai Zhi felt a little uncomfortable under his deep gaze. She looked away and explained, "You have needles in the back of your neck, so you can't move around."
"Hang in there, it'll be over soon."
When Lu Shan and the others saw that Lu Ye had woken up and regained his senses, they breathed a sigh of relief and were even more impressed and amazed by Bai Zhi's medical skills.
Lu Ye listened to her and didn't move.
However, lying in a man's arms with her head drooping, not to mention how strange the position was, the key point was that Dr. Li was trembling all over with tension after Lu Ye woke up.
Lu Ye had only just woken up; the effects of the drug had not yet been completely suppressed, and his body was cold and trembling.
It's strange to see two grown men embracing each other and trembling.
When the fourth acupuncture session with Bai Zhi ended, Lu Ye finally couldn't hold on any longer and asked, "Can I sit up slowly so I won't touch the needle?"
"OK."
Bai Zhi was afraid of missing the needle, so she raised her hand to support Lu Ye's arm and helped him slowly get up.
"Slow down, try not to move your head."
The girl was very close to him. Unlike the previous times, today she had a faint smell of Chinese medicine on her.
Her facial skin was not the porcelain white of city girls, but a healthy tan from the sun.
Her features were exquisite, especially her eyes.
It is very clear, yet it seems to have been tempered by time, calm and serene.
She has a completely different demeanor from the timid little girl I remembered seeing three years ago.
He even had the illusion that she wasn't Grandpa Bai's granddaughter.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Bai Zhi asked with concern, "Company Commander Lu, how are you feeling? Can you hold on?"
The man had woken up and his emotions were gradually stabilizing. Bai Zhi removed the needles from the back of his neck.
"Can."
Although the veins on his forehead were still prominent and his body was still trembling slightly, he was at least conscious and able to control himself with his strong willpower.
Lu Ye sat up, and Dr. Li was finally relieved, wiping away cold sweat and letting out a heavy breath.
It was terrifying and agonizing.
He almost thought he would die in the line of duty today.
Angelica dahurica was truly his savior.
Bai Zhi said to Dr. Li, "Dr. Li, please take a rest. You've worked hard."
The efforts of Dr. Li and Dr. Yang over these past few days have been evident to all.
Those high-ranking leaders and experts only need to talk.
Meanwhile, the real grassroots doctors work themselves to the bone, and even risk getting injured.
If a patient has a problem, they are still the ones who will be held accountable first.
"It's okay, we're not tired."
Seeing that their son had finally calmed down, Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun quickly went over to comfort him.
Director Zhou had a cut on the corner of his mouth, which had already been treated, but he was still thinking about Lu Ye.
After the wound was treated, I returned to the ward with the other two doctors.
When they pushed open the ward door, they saw an unbelievable scene.
The "beast" that was just now raging and out of control is now sitting cross-legged on the bed, resting with its eyes closed.
He had needles stuck in his head and arms.
When Lu Shan saw Director Zhou come in, she explained the situation, "Director Zhou, after Dr. Xiao Bai performed acupuncture, Company Commander Lu's emotions have stabilized."
Director Zhou and the two experts behind him both wore expressions of disbelief. "Besides acupuncture, you didn't give him any injections?"
Could acupuncture alone have stabilized the situation just now?
Dr. Li stood up and testified with certainty, "I haven't had any injections. I haven't had any injections since Dr. Xiaobai's first acupuncture session."
Dr. Yang also muttered, "If we could have done acupuncture earlier today, Company Commander Lu wouldn't have had to suffer like this."
They also didn't have to go through a catastrophe.
The two experts behind Director Zhou exclaimed, "It's truly miraculous, comparable to a magic needle!"
"This is the profound and amazing nature of traditional Chinese medicine."
"Director Zhou, I heard that your family has a long tradition of traditional Chinese medicine. What do you think about this?" Lu Shan asked Director Zhou for his opinion.
When traditional Chinese medicine was mentioned, Director Zhou's expression turned sour. "I still prefer precise instruments and letting the data speak for itself."
Lu Zheng'an's expression also turned ugly upon hearing Director Zhou's words.
"Mr. Lu, we will work through the night to develop a treatment plan. Please give us a little more time."
"No need." Lu Ye opened his eyes, his handsome face tense, his gaze cold as he looked over. "I don't need you anymore."
“This…” Director Zhou said, “Company Commander Lu, you are a patient and you need to cooperate with our medical team’s treatment, otherwise we will not be able to explain to our superiors.”
That's your business.
After Lu Ye finished speaking, he looked at Lu Shan and forcefully told her to leave, "Dr. Lu, I need to rest."
Lu Shan looked at Director Zhou and the others with difficulty and said, "Director Zhou, please go back to your office first, and we can talk about it after my brother has calmed down."
After the acupuncture treatment, Lu Ye lay down.
Bai Zhi packed her bag and, without exchanging any words with Lu Zheng'an and his wife, prepared to leave.
"Xiao Bai." Lu Ye's hoarse voice rang out.
"Company Commander Lu, is there any other question?"
He said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Bai Zhi said. "I only used acupuncture to control the effects of the medicine; I didn't actually perform any treatment."
As the injured person himself, Lu Ye made the decision, "Please start formal treatment for me tomorrow."
Bai Zhi subconsciously looked at Lu Shan and the others, "Those authoritative experts are studying treatment plans, and I believe there will be results soon."
She did want to get treatment, but the Lu family was constantly obstructing her, and the hospital's expert team didn't approve of her treatment philosophy as a "barefoot doctor."
As a key protected individual at the military hospital, with guards stationed at the entrance of the building, how did Lu Ye manage to get in?
Upon hearing her words, Lu Ye coldly mocked, "Them? Ha."
