"Doctor Mu, is this okay?"
The accompanying police officers carried the unconscious Director Le to the "patio" as requested by Mu Huaixi, allowing her to bask in the long-lost warm afternoon sun.
It was almost dusk, and the sunlight was not glaring, so it was not too irritating to people with albinism.
Mu Huaixi sat beside her, looking like he was basking in the sun, but in fact he was taking her pulse while carefully observing Le Hong's complexion. He was slightly relieved when he saw that there was no redness or allergies on her skin.
Mu Huaixi lived here for a few days and confirmed that this place was underground. There were few places where light could be seen, and the only place where one could get some fresh air and sun was the patio here.
But whether researchers or military personnel, they rarely appear here - in their words, if they have time, they might as well chew a cigarette to refresh their minds, as sunbathing will make them sleepy and is not worth it.
Director Le is even worse. She herself is an albinos patient. People naturally think that she should live away from light to avoid sunburn, but perhaps it is the long-term lack of sunlight that makes her drowsy.
Mu Huaixi was not exaggerating. There is a record in "Six Books of Hejian" that some people cried when they saw the light, so they built houses underground. As a result, they became weaker and more exhausted. It can be seen that it is important to go out into the sun every day.
After taking Le Hong's pulse for a few days, Mu Huaixi noticed some changes. If her pulse were like a river, the tide would recede as dusk turned to night, with the pulse slightly sinking and the water drying up, revealing the rocks. In the morning, when the tide should have returned, her pulse was struggling.
Mu Huaixi planned to use gold needles to replenish Le Hong's energy, but the gold needles actually stimulated the body's own yang energy. However, Le Hong's body was too exhausted, like a well that had not been drained for a long time. No matter how hard he pressed down, no water could be drawn out. He could only add a spoonful of water from the outside to draw out the water.
There are also some tricks to "adding water", and it has to be done gradually from small to large, so the first thing she chose was sunbathing.
The sun is the sun of all things, and its light shines equally and selflessly on all beings in the world. Whether it is the pines and cypresses on the top of the mountains or the wild flowers in the deep valleys, they can all draw vitality from this light.
It is hot yet gentle, and in traditional Chinese medicine theory, it is the first choice for replenishing yang energy.
Mu Huaixi only stood in the setting sun for a while before she felt warm all over. The police officer who had questioned her earlier also noticed this and scratched his head to admit to her, "Doctor Mu, you know what, it's really comfortable to be in the sun."
It was just comfortable for him, but for Le Hong it was no less than being exposed to the sun. So when he saw her face turn slightly red, Mu Huaixi called the police officer to move her to the shade, but did not move her away.
In this way, Mu Huaixi took Le Hong to bask in the sun for several days. After confirming from her pulse that the "water level" in her body had recovered, he proceeded to the next step: moxibustion.
She asked Ying Mingcheng to get the mugwort from home, but for some reason it was a little damp and could not be used directly, so she had to put it in the patio to dry.
Mu Huaixi also uses moxibustion in a step-by-step manner. She divides a moxa stick into three parts, uses one in the morning and two at night, and selects acupoints such as Zusanli, Guanyuan, Zhongwan, and Qihai and uses them step by step. Although the progress is slow, it gradually takes effect.
That day, she was having dinner when she saw Le Hong's guard rushing into the cafeteria. As soon as he saw her, he shouted, "Doctor Mu, Doctor Mu! Director Le's fingers are moving!"
Everyone here knew that Le Hong was in a coma. Everyone who was eating looked up in surprise and looked in the direction of the guard. Even Ying Mingcheng, who was always calm, showed a brief look of surprise. He knew everything Xiao Xi did and thought it would take a long time.
Mu Huaixi was very calm and waved to the excited guard, "Which hand moved?"
She often saw Le Hong's hands and feet moving while she was doing moxibustion. After all, she was just drowsy, and it was normal for her body to react. But the guard kept waving her hands, "No, no, no, she grabbed my fingers when I was wiping her face and hands!"
This is a reaction.
Mu Huaixi remained calm, but she ate her meal a little faster, and then followed the guard back. Ying Mingcheng originally wanted to follow her, but seeing that she ate too quickly, he thought about it and went to get two more buns.
Of course Le Hong didn't wake up, but perhaps because she had just had some "movement", her pulse was slightly active. After Mu Huaixi took her pulse, he decided to start the next step.
The golden needle was finally taken out, slightly calcined over the fire, and then inserted into Director Le's body in a way that the guards could not understand, either slanting or straight, shaking or steady.
The guard couldn't help but shudder.
Ever since Mu Huaixi picked up the golden needles, she has been oblivious to the people around her. When she took back all the needles, a warm towel was placed on her cheek to gently wipe away the sweat on her face.
Ying Mingcheng helped her wipe her face and handed her the buns he brought back. "Are you hungry?"
Mu Huaixi wanted to say that she was not hungry, but her stomach was more honest than her and made a series of rumbling sounds. She felt a little embarrassed, so she took the bun and moved to the side, obviously avoiding his sight.
Ying Mingcheng didn't make her feel uncomfortable. He helped to clean up the house and then left. He felt a little happy. This place was actually not very suitable for pregnant women. Now that Le Hong's condition had improved, it meant that Xiao Xi would be able to leave soon.
The news that Le Hong moved her hand spread quickly. When Mu Huaixi came out of the room, he saw the leaders waiting outside the door. They all came to learn about Le Hong's latest situation.
After listening to Mu Huaixi's explanation, the leader first praised her, and then asked impatiently, "Comrade Xiao Mu, Comrade Le Hong's position is extremely important. Do you think it's possible to make her sober up sooner?"
"Okay," Mu Huaixi agreed unexpectedly, "but your body will be damaged and you will need more care afterwards."
"That......"
Ying Mingcheng, who was standing by, didn't wait for the leader to finish and interrupted him, "My wife is not suitable to stay here for a long time. She is pregnant."
The leader was a little embarrassed, but soon felt relieved, "Comrade Xiao Mu's medical skills are so enviable no matter where you put them!"
"So, we don't ask for speed. We just ask that you take good care of Comrade Le Hong so that she can return to work in good health. However, while ensuring her physical condition, you need to be a little less conservative."
Mu Huaixi understood his implication. It seemed that the project was very urgent. "Don't worry, I will do my best."
She said she would try her best and she really did. Seven days later, Le Hong, who had been in a coma, opened her eyes.
