Ye Qingqing didn't sleep well all night. Her mind was racing, and she wished she could go to the field to catch leeches for her experiment right now. She woke up early the next morning, but when she realized it wasn't the weekend, her heart sank.
When Ye Qingqing saw Zhu Zi at breakfast, her eyes darted around, and she leaned over and said, "How about you catch me a few leeches and I'll trade you some spirit dew?"
Zhu Zi's face, as cold as ice, lifted from the fragrant soy milk and looked at her slowly, saying, "You want to eat leeches?"
"vomit……"
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but gag. Just thinking about the soft, sticky, disgusting appearance of leeches made her chest feel nauseous. This annoying guy actually said such things. Well, she couldn't eat breakfast.
"You're the one who's eating! I want to treat my aunt's illness. Help me catch about ten fat, big ones, alive!" Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes and made her request.
Zhu Zi's expression shifted slightly, showing interest. "You want to use leeches to treat late-stage cancer patients? How?"
Although Tian Tian's condition has stabilized now, the lesions are still there and could relapse at any time. He was curious to know how this stupid woman would treat that dying old woman.
Ye Qingqing didn't hide anything and shared her thoughts, "My ancestor cured gangrene with leeches, so I think maybe it can suck out cancer cells too!"
She carefully read the farmer's description of his symptoms and concluded that it was gangrene, caused by infection from an untreated wound, which led to extensive tissue necrosis and could even be life-threatening.
Zhu Zi's expression turned serious. After thinking for a while, she shook her head. "It's different. Gangrene is tissue necrosis that turns into toxic blood, which leeches can suck out. But cancer cells are alive and not in the blood. How can leeches suck them out?"
Ye Qingqing's excitement was completely dampened by a large basin of ice water.
That's right, cancer cells aren't in the blood, so leeches can't suck them out at all. How come she didn't think of that?
Feeling utterly disheartened, Ye Qingqing lost her appetite even more. She let out a long sigh, "What a waste of my night. I need to think of something else. Sigh!"
“It’s not impossible for leeches to suck blood, provided that you kill the cancer cells first. Once they’re in your blood, the leeches can suck them out.” Zhu Zi’s eyes were bright, and she didn’t even bother to eat breakfast.
Following Ye Qingqing's suggestion, he also came up with a solution.
Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up. "How do we kill cancer cells? Chemotherapy? But my aunt's body is too weak; I'm afraid she can't withstand it."
“Chemotherapy won’t work. Although it can kill cancer cells, it can’t turn them into blood cells, and it’s too harmful to the body.” Zhu Zi shook his head. He hated chemotherapy. His younger sister, Tian Tian, had undergone chemotherapy before.
Every time Zhu Zi saw the pain Tian Tian was in after chemotherapy, he wished he could take her place. But chemotherapy couldn't help Tian Tian. He felt that this treatment was like drinking poison to quench thirst, and that she was lucky to be cured.
Moreover, after observing many cancer patients, he discovered that these people did not actually need to die so early, but they died shortly after treatment. Zhu Zi boldly speculated that these people died from overtreatment.
Another point is that they were terrified. Knowing that they had a terminal illness, people with poor mental fortitude would eventually be scared to death. Coupled with the severe side effects of chemotherapy, they would go to report to the King of Hell early.
"I have a plan, but the risk is too great," Zhu Zi said slowly, her expression very excited.
"What's the solution? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense!" Ye Qingqing urged impatiently.
Zhu Zi glanced at her indifferently and said softly, "Fight poison with poison."
