"What?" Rossi's mouth opened into an O shape and he said repeatedly, "Mr. Xia, that's impossible! I'm not belittling traditional Chinese medicine, but … it's not scientific at all! "
If Xia Ruofei had said that after a stage of treatment, he could regain some feeling in his legs, then he might have been skeptical. But how could it be possible with just one acupuncture treatment?
If it was that easy to restore the feeling in his legs, then his condition wouldn't have left so many famous doctors at their wits' end.
In fact, Rossi's leg disease was very serious. Although his fever had subsided and his life was saved after he was diagnosed with severe poliomyelitis, from then on, he could not feel anything below his knees. Furthermore, his legs were severely deformed. After so many years, even if he persisted in rehabilitation physiotherapy, the muscles in his legs still inevitably atrophied.
Rossi almost gave up hope. Now that he heard Xia Ruofei say that he could regain feeling in his legs through one acupuncture treatment, his first reaction was disbelief.
Over the years, he had experienced too many mental journeys from hope to disappointment. Now he was basically in despair.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "The whole system of traditional Chinese medicine is unscientific in the mainstream view of the West. Rossi, whether it's possible or not, we'll know in a while. "
Rossi took a deep look at Xia Ruofei, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Xia!"
Seeing Xia Ruofei full of confidence, Rossi's mood was unconsciously affected, and a glimmer of hope began to sprout in his heart.
Anyway, it didn't matter if he tried once. At worst, there would be no effect. It was not the first time he had experienced such a process over the years.
After a while, Monica came in with Xia Ruofei's small suitcase.
She was slightly surprised to see that Rosie was already lying down on the bed.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Have you brought it? Give it to me quickly! "
Monica handed the suitcase to Xia Ruofei. He opened the suitcase and took out an exquisite box that he had prepared beforehand.
Opening the box, there was a row of silver needles of different sizes neatly clamped on the lid. Inside the box was a set of delicate cupping tools, including pots, mugwort, and so on.
Xia Ruofei motioned for Luo Xi to take off his pants. Luo Xi was still a little shy in front of his sister, but Monica went over to help Luo Xi take off his pants in no time.
After Xia Ruofei carefully disinfected the silver needles with alcohol, he sat down beside the bed.
He said to Luo Xi, "Today, I'm mainly going to perform acupuncture on a few acupoints on your legs. Although the silver needles are very long and look a little scary, you won't feel any severe pain. So don't be nervous. The more relaxed you are, the less pain you will feel."
Rossie touched his nose and said, "I can't feel anything in my legs. You can poke me however you want!"
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You'll feel it soon."
Then, Xia Ruofei turned back to Monica and said, "Monica, if you're afraid, you can wait outside. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Rossi. "
Monica saw the trembling silver needles in Xia Ruofei's hand. Thinking that such a long needle was going to be inserted into Rossi's leg, she was indeed a little scared. However, she still said bravely, "No, I'll watch from the side!"
"OK!" Xia Ruofei didn't mind having someone next to him during the treatment.
He didn't say anything else. His eyes became very focused. With a slight shake of his right hand, a silver needle was accurately inserted into the Yanglingquan acupoint diagonally below Rossi's knee. His movements were as fast as lightning. Monica, who was at the side, even felt that the silver needle had been gently vibrating on Rossi's leg in the blink of an eye.
Xia Ruofei had already found the acupoint, so there was no hesitation at all. Soon, the second and third needles also found the corresponding acupoints.
His acupuncture technique came from a long-lost ancient Chinese medicine book in the jade talisman, called "Xinglin Sanshou". When performing acupuncture, he didn't find too many acupoints, and the technique was very special. If used with a small amount of True Qi, the effect would be quite obvious.
After Xia Ruofei inserted three needles, he didn't continue to take the needles from the box next to him. Instead, he took a breath and stretched out two fingers to gently twist the silver needles. A trace of True Qi invisible to the naked eye was introduced into Rossi's acupoint along the silver needles.
Because there was no feeling in his legs, Rossi didn't feel anything at first. It was as if the needle was inserted into someone else's body.
However, as Xia Ruofei began to introduce True Qi to stimulate the acupoints, Rossi also noticed a trace of abnormality. Unconsciously, he felt that the three places where the needles were inserted had a variety of feelings, such as soreness, swelling, numbness, and so on. Although this feeling wasn't particularly obvious, it was very real.
Rossi could even feel that this soreness and swelling was centered on the silver needles, radiating about five or six centimeters. He still didn't feel anything in the other parts of his body below his knees, but the soreness and swelling at the place where the needles were inserted was getting more and more obvious.
Rossi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, revealing a shocked look.
He had no feeling in his legs for more than ten years. This was the first time he really felt the existence of his legs after he fell ill. This feeling was very wonderful, and at the same time, it set off a great wave in his heart.
Xia Ruofei wasn't boasting. From the time he inserted the needles until now, it had been less than a minute, and the effect he said before had already appeared.
Monica asked worriedly, "Rosie, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no, no …" Rossi said quickly, "Monica! This feeling is great! It can't get any better … I … I seem to feel something in my legs … "
Xia Ruofei, who was concentrating on the acupuncture, said without raising his head, "Keep calm, don't move, and it's best not to talk …"
Monica was also surprised and happy, and quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes! Rossi, do as Xia says. Don't move, so as not to affect his treatment. "
"All right," Rossi said in a low voice.
From the moment Xia Ruofei entered the room, Rossi was the most obedient. Now, basically, he would do whatever Xia Ruofei asked him to do without hesitation.
Xia Ruofei continued to twist the silver needles, and wisps of True Qi constantly stimulated Rossi's acupoints. In the second half of the acupuncture treatment, Xia Ruofei began to flick the ends of the silver needles with his fingers, and the three silver needles began to vibrate rapidly at different frequencies.
The expression on Rossi's face became more and more rich, because with the vibration of the silver needles, the soreness and swelling in his body became more intense. He could even feel a hot current being transmitted from the tips of the silver needles, making his calves feel as if they were bathing in a hot spring.
After a long time, Xia Ruofei waved his hand and took out the three silver needles at a very fast speed. Then, he slowly disinfected them with alcohol, wiped them clean, and put them into the box one by one.
Monica asked, "Xia, is the treatment done this time?"
Xia Ruofei closed the box and nodded, "Yes! The effect of this treatment should be good! What do you say? Rossi! "
As Xia Ruofei spoke, he winked at Rossi and revealed a smile.
"Of course!" Rossi said with an excited expression. "Mr. Xia, I haven't been able to feel my legs for many years, and no doctor has ever been able to restore the feeling in my legs. You're the first one to succeed in this!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's not a big deal that you can feel your legs during acupuncture. When I remove the silver needles and you can still feel them, that's the first step to success."
Rossi reached out and touched his deformed and shrunken calf, saying, "Mr. Xia, I don't know if it's my illusion, but my legs seem to be touched. It's just that the feeling is very weak, as if there are several layers of pants …"
Xia Ruofei said with certainty, "It's not an illusion, Rossi. Acupuncture stimulates several of your acupoints and can dredge the meridians. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, when the Qi and blood flow smoothly, the sensory nerves will gradually recover …"
Monica said excitedly, "Xia, then continue to treat Rossi!"
Rossi also nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Xia, I'm not afraid of pain! Please continue to treat me! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's not a matter of whether you're afraid of pain or not. Acupuncture treatment requires a certain interval of time to allow these acupoints to recover their vitality. If you don't control it, they will be overdrawn and eventually hurt the body. In addition … "
Xia Ruofei paused and continued, "Today is the first treatment, and we haven't combined the external and internal Chinese medicine, so the effect is not particularly ideal. You should rest for the night. Tomorrow, I'll prepare a set of Chinese medicine. Through massage and acupuncture, the effect will be very good! "
"I'm looking forward to it!" Rossi said excitedly, "I may not be able to sleep tonight …"
In fact, Rossi was so excited that he was about to cry. His hands were almost constantly rubbing his two calves, as if only in this way could he feel the hope of standing up.
"That won't do!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Only when you have a good spirit can you ensure the effect of tomorrow's treatment! If your body is too weak, many treatments can't be carried out at the same time … "
"I understand!" Rossi said, "Don't worry, I will force myself to fall asleep as soon as possible!"
Xia Ruofei nodded, stood up, and said with a smile, "Then I won't disturb you anymore. Rest early. Good night!"
"Good night! Mr. Xia! "Rossi said respectfully.
After Xia Ruofei showed his skills, Rossi's attitude towards him had changed dramatically. After seeing the hope of standing up, Rossi almost worshipped Xia Ruofei as a god.
Monica also smiled and nodded to Rossi, and then walked out of the bedroom with Xia Ruofei.
As soon as they went out, Xia Ruofei said, "Monica, inform A Yong and A Hua to come and see me! I have something to ask them to do! "
