Chapter 288 Treated as an Honored Guest
"Commander Li, shall we start treatment now, or do you need to rest for a while before treatment?"
Du Ruoxia put down the medical kit she was carrying and asked very naturally.
"If Dr. Du is in good spirits, I don't mind starting treatment now."
Chief Li smiled slightly, already eager to see what this young girl was capable of.
Such a young and frail girl actually had the ability to cure his illness.
This sounds a bit unbelievable, but it's the only option we have right now.
Many people have tried to help him with his illness, but with little success.
Some of those invited, who were initially confident, backed out because of his status.
After all, his illness is not so easy to cure, and the responsibility would be too great if it were not cured.
Many people couldn't withstand the pressure and gave up on treatment altogether.
In their view, although curing Chief Li had some benefits, it was not worth it compared to the disadvantages.
It was something I wasn't sure about to do anyway, and I always felt uneasy about forcing myself to do it.
Chief Li was abandoned time and time again until his subordinates heard about Du Ruoxia's situation.
They knew the girl was young, but they didn't expect her to be this young.
The girl looks delicate and soft, but she speaks and acts with such a strong will.
The contrast between her personality and her appearance makes people look forward to seeing her.
I've heard that only truly unique people can create miracles.
Hopefully, Dr. Du won't let him down!
The treatment was about to begin, and Du Ruoxia carefully disinfected the silver needles.
"One of you come here and help Chief Li take off his shirt."
Du Ruoxia was doing her work while ordering around the two people guarding the door.
The two men were taken aback. They were fully armed, and even the doctors who usually came here were afraid of them.
The little girl in front of them was the only one who was not afraid of them, but instead took the initiative to order them around.
The other doctors who came were all men, and even if they needed acupuncture, they would take off their clothes without hesitation.
But the girl in front of me is different; she's a young woman, and it's inappropriate for her to do this kind of thing.
Chief Li is currently seriously ill and is unable to do so himself.
There was really no one else who could help.
The two exchanged a glance, and one of them gave the other a meaningful look.
So one of them stood guard while the other went to help Chief Li take off his clothes.
After Chief Li took off his shirt, Du Ruoxia had already made preparations.
Du Ruoxia turned around and saw a lean but well-built body.
One can imagine that when he was young, Chief Li was a muscular and fit man.
He had many knife scars on his body, and his chest and back looked very ferocious.
Other girls would probably have cried out in fear if they saw a body like that.
Du Ruoxia, however, remained indifferent, completely ignoring all of this.
In her view, there is only the difference between sick and healthy people in this world.
Chief Li is now her patient, and she treats him as a patient.
She served as a military doctor and had seen countless scars.
Her husband, Gu Jingming, also had many gruesome wounds on his body, which she was actually used to.
Du Ruoxia located the acupoint and inserted a needle into his back.
Chief Li thought she would hesitate for a while, but he didn't expect her to be so decisive.
He didn't feel anything when the first needle went in, but as more and more needles were inserted, he started to feel a tingling sensation all over his body.
The feeling was amazing; not only did I not feel any pain at the spot where I was pricked, but I also felt a comfortable warm current.
At first, the warm current covered a small area, but as more and more needles were inserted, the area of the warm current also increased.
Soon, Chief Li's back was covered in thorns.
The seemingly chaotic needles actually contain profound principles.
The two soldiers guarding the door stared in astonishment at what they were seeing.
They initially wanted to stop him, but when their gaze fell on Chief Li, they realized that he was quite content.
In the past, Chief Li was always tormented by illness, and his face was always cold, rarely showing a smile.
But at this moment, his limbs were outstretched, and although the smile on his face was faint, his satisfaction was evident.
Chief Li himself is not averse to acupuncture, but if they forcibly interfere, it may affect the treatment effect.
After weighing the pros and cons, the two ultimately chose to give up.
Du Ruoxia would occasionally pull out some needles and then insert different needles into different acupoints.
The entire treatment process lasted a full hour.
By the time Du Ruoxia removed all the needles from his body, she was already sweating profusely.
Chief Li also had a row of conspicuous needle marks on his back.
Although his back was in terrible condition, he was in a better mental state than ever before.
It was a strange feeling, as if he had suddenly been reborn.
Needless to say, this kind of treatment will definitely benefit him.
His body seemed to spring back to life, as if it were suddenly nourished by sweet dew.
Du Ruoxia was still tidying up the silver needles when Chief Li stared at her back for a long time.
This girl is much more capable than he imagined; it seems he underestimated her before.
Fortunately, he didn't say anything dismissive or make any decisions lightly.
Their relationship is neither good nor bad right now, and there's still time for everything to turn around.
After putting away the silver needles, Du Ruoxia took out paper and pen and quickly wrote out a prescription.
"Which of you two will take this prescription to get 10 doses of medicine?"
Du Ruoxia placed the prescription on the table, letting them choose for themselves.
The two men looked at each other, because this was the second time they had been ordered around.
"They haven't finished digesting this yet," Du Ruoxia said again.
"Chief Li just finished acupuncture. He should not take a shower for 6 hours. Right now, his pores are open, making him particularly susceptible to cold."
"At this time, we should pay extra attention to keeping warm. Please put his clothes on immediately, and put on a thick coat as well."
Du Ruoxia opened and closed her pink lips, and began to assign them tasks again.
As Chief Li's personal bodyguards, they generally only listen to Chief Li's orders.
This little girl ordered them around without saying a word; she must have a lot of nerve.
To their surprise, Chief Li was very supportive of her.
"Just do as Dr. Du says."
"yes!"
They dared not disobey Chief Li's orders, but they were filled with even more questions.
This girl only treated Chief Li once, and there's no sign of any effect yet, so why is she being treated as an honored guest?
You should know that at least eight or ten doctors have come here for treatment, and those doctors who couldn't cure the disease and instead made alarmist claims were all eventually kicked out.
Du Ruoxia was the only doctor who impressed Chief Li and treated him with exceptional courtesy.
Is Dr. Du really that skilled? Or is the treatment just particularly effective this time?
