Chapter 197 Singing Loudly (asking for monthly tickets)
In consideration of the million-dollar check, Yu Zhiming first gave Rao Yi a thorough full-body examination.
Brain, no problem found.
Cardiopulmonary, no problem.
Breast, no problem.
Stomach, lack of vitality.
The liver, kidneys, and intestinal system are relatively healthy...
When examining Rao Yi's reproductive system, Yu Zhiming hesitated to speak, but Rao Yi discovered...
"Doctor Yu, no matter what the problem is, please tell me everything without hiding anything."
Yu Zhiming hesitated and said, "Ms. Rao, it's not that there's something wrong with your body, it's just..."
Rao Yi interrupted, "Doctor Yu, the expression on your face clearly shows that something is wrong."
"Whatever it is, just tell me."
Seeing that the other party had said so, Yu Zhiming asked directly: "Ms. Rao, have you ever given birth?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Qingning and Yu Xiangwan, who were standing by, widened their eyes with a look of gossip on their faces.
According to public information, 32-year-old Rao Yi has never been married, but she has been rumored to have had several boyfriends.
"You can find out about this kind of thing?" Rao Yi was shocked and implicitly admitted the fact.
Yu Zhiming explained: "For women who have given birth, their uterine opening and pelvic structure are somewhat different."
Rao Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "At that time, I was still young and ignorant."
She pleaded again, "This is my absolute privacy and is not covered by the three-month agreement."
Yu Xiangwan and Gu Qingning replied together, "We will definitely not tell anyone."
Yu Zhiming also nodded and said, "We are now in a doctor-patient relationship. I will not disclose the patient's private information."
"Ms. Rao, the physical examination is over. You can get up now. Next, it's time to check your voice."
Rao Yi got up from the sofa and was tidying up her clothes when Yu Zhiming's voice rang in her ears again.
"Come with me to the bedroom. We don't have to worry about the neighbors hearing us and filing a nuisance complaint with the property management."
These words made Rao Yi's heart sink.
In the end, you can't escape it. Are you going to be taken advantage of?
Forget it, just think of it as being possessed by a ghost.
Rao Yi followed Yu Zhiming into the bedroom with an expression of heroic sacrifice, only to realize that he had been overthinking.
Yu Xiangwan and Gu Qingning also followed him into the bedroom.
When the heavy wooden door of the bedroom closed, Rao Yi had a feeling as if two worlds were separated.
It’s so quiet!
Rao Yi immediately realized that this bedroom was specially decorated to be soundproof, just like her recording studio and practice room.
She quickly scanned the neat and clean room, which was about fifteen or sixteen square meters and also served as a study.
What impressed Rao Yi the most was that one wall was covered with bookshelves, all filled with books.
She also noticed a erhu hanging on the east wall.
"You can play the erhu?"
"A hobby!"
Yu Zhiming replied simply, stretched out his right hand and gently touched Rao Yi's neck.
"Ms. Rao, practice pronunciation as usual, gradually increasing the volume until you hear a crack."
Rao Yi knew that the most critical moment had arrived.
Just a bracelet touching his neck, as if it was going to strangle him hard at the next moment, made Rao Yi very uncomfortable.
But Rao Yi didn't dare to have any opinions. He first adjusted his standing posture and took two deep breaths.
She opened her mouth.
“Ah…ah…ah…ah…”
Yu Zhiming closed his eyes, carefully feeling Rao Yi's voice and the vibration coming from his right hand...
The air is compressed by the lungs, rushes out of the trachea, and directly hits the tight, almost closed vocal cords in the throat...
Yu Zhiming is very clear about the principles of human voice production.
When we speak, the glottal fissure is regularly controlled under the coordination of the muscles in the larynx.
The vocal cords on both sides are stretched, the glottal fissure is narrowed, or even almost closed, and the airflow rushing out of the trachea continuously impacts the vocal cords, causing them to vibrate and make sounds.
The sound produced by the throat is just the fundamental tone.
It is also enhanced and changed by the resonance of the pharynx, mouth, nose, sinuses, trachea and lungs.
Eventually, the sound that comes out of the mouth becomes the sound that is heard...
After careful feeling, Yu Zhiming discovered that there was a small stream of air coming out of the esophagus.
What people generally refer to as Dantian Qi, or sound coming from the abdomen, is probably this...
Based on the disturbances caused by the airflow and the vibrations produced by the sound, Yu Zhiming began to construct a diagram of Rao Yi's vocal physiology in his mind...
Lungs, trachea, stomach, esophagus, larynx, vocal cords, pharynx, nasal cavity, oral cavity, tongue, lips...
With each increasingly loud "ah ah" sound, all the airflow in Rao Yi's body, as well as the organs that produce and resonate sound, were constructed into a three-dimensional real-time model in Yu Zhiming's mind.
The details are still being enriched and refined rapidly...
“Ah…ah…ah…”
As Rao Yi gradually raised his voice, Yu Zhiming began to feel uncomfortable.
My ears hurt, my head hurts...
It was like someone was holding a loudspeaker and shouting in Yu Zhiming's ear.
He found that investigating the cause of Rao Yi's illness would only bring him trouble and discomfort.
However, Yu Zhiming could only endure it, feeling like he was about to go crazy.
Damn, this money is really hard to make.
Yu Zhiming, who was suffering from severe headache, suddenly felt a strong sense of worry.
Wouldn't he have collapsed because he couldn't bear it before he discovered Rao Yi's problem?
Yu Zhiming tried hard to suppress his worry and discomfort, and concentrated as much as possible on feeling Rao Yi's vocal organs...
“Ah…ah…”
Suddenly, Rao Yi's voice seemed to break through the barrier and reached a new height like a fish jumping out of the water.
But in the next moment, this pure sound became weak and filled with noise, like a punctured balloon.
Rao Yi abruptly stopped practicing his voice.
It wasn't that she didn't have the strength to raise her voice and continue, but she was frightened by Yu Zhiming's appearance in front of her.
Yu Zhiming closed his eyes slightly, his face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his body was shaking slightly.
Rao Yi blurted out, "Doctor Yu, are you using your gong to great effect?"
Yu Zhiming opened his eyes and saw Yu Xiangwan and Gu Qingning approaching with worried looks on their faces.
"I'm fine, it's just a little painful to hold back the sound."
Yu Zhiming explained, then met Rao Yi's gaze and said, "I'm not a Qigong master who deceives people."
Rao Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, your appearance reminded me of a Qigong master."
After a pause, she asked expectantly, "Doctor Yu, did you notice the problem with my broken high note just now?"
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "There are some clues, but further confirmation is needed."
"Is there really any clue?" Rao Yi was instantly extremely excited.
This was the first good news she had heard in several months.
Yu Zhiming did not answer, but put his right hand on Rao Yi's neck again.
"This time, raise the sound directly to the high pitch where the sound breaks."
"I told you to stop, and you stopped again!"
"Okay, no problem!"
Rao Yi, who was extremely excited, took a deep breath and let out a resounding "Ah" that soared into the sky...
But in the next second, the sound was like tearing cloth, no longer crisp and pleasant...
While being forced to endure, Yu Zhiming clearly "saw" a slight bulge on the left inner wall of Rao Yi's throat, which was vibrating continuously as if it had been electrocuted.
As he explored with all his might, the surface covering the small bulge was cut open, revealing a small bundle of muscle.
I saw it vibrating like a cramp.
On this small piece of muscle, Yu Zhiming also "saw" several lumps the size of millet grains!
"Fat particles?"
"Fibromas?"
"Hematoma calcification?"
………
"Okay, you can stop now!"
Yu Zhiming looked at Rao Yi, whose face was filled with nervousness and anticipation, and asked, "Did you injure your throat in the year before your voice broke?"
Rao Yi shook his head and said, "I've always been very careful with my throat, how could I have injured it?"
"Hey, does it count if I got a fishbone stuck in my throat?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "That counts."
Rao Yi was a little bit incredulous and asked, "Could it be that a small fish bone caused the problem with my pronunciation?"
"perhaps!"
Yu Zhiming extended his right index finger and pointed at a spot on Rao Yi's neck. He explained, "There's a small muscle bundle there that vibrates constantly when you reach high notes."
"Its vibrations cause turbulence in the airflow and a tightening of the vocal cords, which produces the broken sound."
Rao Yi reached out and touched his neck and asked, "Doctor Yu, should it be treatable?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "It's just the vibration of a small muscle bundle, not the abnormal movement of an entire muscle. It shouldn't be caused by a nerve problem."
"Its vibration is more like a..."
Yu Zhiming thought about it and finally came up with a word.
“Resonance!”
"I also found a few small nodules on that muscle bundle. Perhaps those nodules are the cause."
Yu Zhiming suggested: "I can use the puncture method to remove those hard lumps."
"Ms. Rao, would you like to try the effect?"
"Yes, absolutely!" Rao Yi replied firmly...
Acupuncture treatment cannot be performed at home.
Yu Zhiming brought Rao Yi, Yu Xiangwan and Gu Qingning to the treatment room of Qi Yue Medical Research Center.
Rao Yi, dressed in ordinary clothes, a sun hat and a mask, followed Yu Zhiming. She met many people along the way, but no one recognized her.
People are in a hurry on the road, who would care who the stranger they meet is.
Unless he wears strange clothes, brings many assistants with him, and tries to hide himself in a mysterious way, who would notice that it is a big star who appears?
In the treatment room, Rao Yi was frightened when he saw Yu Zhiming take out a long and thin puncture needle.
"Doctor Yu, don't you want anesthesia?"
Yu Zhiming smiled devilishly and said, "It hurts just like an injection. No anesthesia is needed."
"You can trust my puncture technique. It won't hurt your blood vessels or nerves."
Rao Yi made up his mind, closed his eyes and tilted his neck back.
"Doctor Yu, come on, I'm not afraid anymore..."
As the slender puncture needle in Yu Zhiming's hand approached Rao Yi's neck, Yu Xiangwan and Gu Qingning turned around at the same time, not daring to watch any further.
Yu Zhiming remained calm and composed, his hands steady as a mountain. In the next minute, he pierced Rao Yi's neck five times in a row and took out five yellow millet grains from his neck.
He twisted a grain of rice between his fingers.
The yellow fat layer on the surface was twisted open, revealing the small black and red particles inside.
"It's a blood clot."
"Ms. Rao, you can try the high notes again."
Rao Yi touched his neck, which was covered in medical tape and still aching, and asked timidly, "Is this all right?"
Yu Zhiming said frankly: "It's just a verification, it doesn't mean it really works..."
After a minute or two, the endless and beautiful "ah" sounds echoed throughout the five-story building.
After a moment, the "ah" sound turned into an extremely passionate and penetrating a cappella singing.
This is Rao Yi singing loudly...
It’s the last day of the month, please support me with monthly tickets!
