The 'messy' gadgets that Xia Ruofei was referring to were the hidden cameras and recording devices that the Liu Family had installed in 301 Hospital's South Building Senior Officials' ward.
When Xia Ruofei entered the room, he used his psychic power to investigate. This time, the Family Liu was quite honest and didn't play any tricks. Presumably, they were shocked by Xia Ruofei's magical performance last time. In addition, now was the time for the Family Liu to show their sincerity. They probably didn't want to make Xia Ruofei unhappy at this time.
Elder Liu was indeed an old fox. His skin was definitely thick enough. After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He just nodded with a smile and said, "You are now our family's guest. The Family Liu's hospitality doesn't allow us to be disrespectful to our guests."
Xia Ruofei smiled noncommittally, then walked straight to the bedside, put the medicine box in his hand on the bedside table, and sat on the stool in front of the bed.
"Elder Liu, you don't look very good." Xia Ruofei said casually, "I heard from Mr. Liu that you fainted yesterday?"
Elder Liu's pale face squeezed out a smile. He said with some difficulty, "This disease is developing very quickly. I can even feel my life passing away quickly … To be honest, I'm now prepared for the worst …"
"Don't worry!" Xia Ruofei said confidently, "Since I've already received the Family Liu's consultation fee, I won't let anything happen to you."
"This is the best news I've heard." Elder Liu said with a weak smile.
"Let me check for you first." Xia Ruofei said, "Give me your left hand."
Originally, there was no such thing as a man's left hand and a woman's right hand. Real Chinese medicine's four ways of looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse would definitely check the pulse of both hands. However, Elder Liu's right hand was still inserted with an intravenous drip, and pulse checking was only a supplementary method for Xia Ruofei. He mostly used his psychic power to check.
It was no exaggeration to say that even if Xia Ruofei didn't know anything about medicine, with his psychic power, even the most advanced CT machine might not be able to diagnose more accurately than him.
Elder Liu took out his left and right hand from under the quilt and extended it in front of Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei skillfully took Elder Liu's pulse and closed his eyes to check carefully.
The room was quiet. Elder Liu even slowed his breathing, afraid to disturb Xia Ruofei.
As for the medical staff assigned to Elder Liu, as well as the rest of the Liu family, they had already been "cleared out." This was also a rule set by Xia Ruofei. He didn't want a third person to be present when he was treating the patient.
Xia Ruofei just took Elder Liu's pulse and opened his eyes after a full two to three minutes.
Elder Liu inquired, "Mr. Xia, how's the situation?"
Xia Ruofei said lightly, "It is indeed pancreatic cancer. The tumor is relatively large, and it has already metastasized to the liver."
Elder Liu revealed a look of surprise. He stared at Xia Ruofei with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe it.
Elder Liu knew his own condition very well — this was also his own request. His children didn't dare to hide anything from him about his condition, even if it was just a kind lie.
Xia Ruofei's judgment was almost exactly the same as the most recent examination result from 301 Hospital!
The question was, could the pulse of traditional Chinese medicine be so accurate? Elder Liu's impression of traditional Chinese medicine shouldn't be this "style." Under normal circumstances, the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine wasn't as clear as that of Western medicine, because traditional Chinese medicine focused on the whole body's care, mainly from the balance of Yin and Yang.
Elder Liu had lived for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Xia Ruofei, who could directly state the illness and even be so sure that the pancreatic cancer had metastasized to the liver.
Moreover, he was very sure that this was the latest situation after yesterday's examination. There was no liver metastasis before, and the Liu Family didn't show Xia Ruofei the detailed examination report.
Elder Liu wasn't an ordinary patient. His medical record was absolutely confidential, so he was basically sure that Xia Ruofei's judgment was really made by taking his pulse.
After the shock, Elder Liu also had a strong sense of hope in his heart. He said with a smile, "Mr. Xia, I suddenly have more confidence in your medical skills!"
"Of course, only by trusting the doctor and cooperating with the treatment can your disease recover faster," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Then he stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands very carefully. Only then did he return to the bedside and said with a smile, "My treatment plan isn't complicated. In the early stage, you will take acupuncture and take the Chinese medicine pills I prescribed at the same time, and try to get the disease under control as soon as possible. I hope that through a course of treatment, the disease will no longer continue to worsen, or even improve, and then plan the next step of treatment. "
Elder Liu nodded with a smile and said, "I'll obey unconditionally when it comes to treatment!"
"Okay, during the acupuncture process, you don't need to take the IV drip," Xia Ruofei said, "Also, you need to take off your shirt and lie on the bed. Is that okay?"
"Of course, no problem!" Elder Liu said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei nodded and went forward to pull out the IV drip needle. He pressed a cotton swab against the needle hole and said, "You can press it for a while, I'll make the preparations!"
"Alright!" Old Man Liu said.
Xia Ruofei stood up and opened the medicine box. He took out the needle bag with the silver needles and spread it out on the bedside table.
After carefully disinfecting the silver needles, Xia Ruofei helped Elder Liu take off his shirt and helped him turn over so that he could lie on the bed.
Elder Liu had been tormented by the disease until he was only skin and bones. The ribs on both sides were very obvious, and there was basically no flesh left. It looked a little shocking.
Xia Ruofei said with a calm face, "Elder Liu, you don't have to be nervous. Acupuncture won't hurt. At most, when the silver needles go through the skin, there will be a feeling of being bitten by a mosquito, followed by a feeling of soreness and swelling."
Elder Liu lay on the bed and turned his head to the side to smile at Xia Ruofei and said, "I've been through a storm of bullets, what's so scary about acupuncture? Besides, during this period of time, my whole body hurts. What's the problem with a few needles? "
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then don't move in this position. I'm going to do the acupuncture."
"Okay!" Elder Liu replied straightforwardly.
Xia Ruofei reached out and picked up a silver needle. Without any hesitation, he quickly pierced it down and accurately found the acupoint.
Xia Ruofei poured a small amount of True Qi into the silver needle, allowing the thin and soft silver needle to be easily pierced. It quickly passed through the subcutaneous tissue and reached the acupoint.
After inserting the first silver needle, Xia Ruofei didn't stop at all. He quickly picked up another silver needle and quickly pierced it down.
He moved his fingers as if they were flying. In just a few seconds, he had inserted ten needles in a row. Each needle accurately found the acupoint without any deviation.
Elder Liu didn't feel any pain at all. Just like what Xia Ruofei had said, it was like being bitten by a mosquito.
After inserting the silver needles, Xia Ruofei quickly began to gently twist the tails of the ten silver needles in a specific order. At the same time, he conducted wisps of True Qi through the silver needles and poured it into Elder Liu's meridians.
Elder Liu suddenly felt a hot feeling coming from the place where the needles were inserted. Every acupuncture point began to feel sore and swollen. This experience was indescribably comfortable, making him feel drowsy.
Wisps of True Qi advanced along the meridians in Elder Liu's body, quickly repairing the damaged body functions.
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't attack the cancer cells. He only repaired the body's damaged functions. This was definitely treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
The reason why he did this was, firstly, because if he directly used True Qi under the guidance of his spiritual force to eliminate the cancer cells, then his True Qi consumption would be very large. There was no need for this at all. Secondly, he also considered that he didn't want to cure Elder Liu in one breath. The acupuncture was only auxiliary. The real effect was still the pills he made yesterday.
Those pills were mixed with the petals of the Spirit Heart Flower. Although the amount was very small, for Elder Liu, it was like the land that was dry to the point of cracking suddenly ushered in rain.
The warm feeling coming from the meridians made Elder Liu involuntarily fall asleep slowly. He even let out a slight snoring sound.
As Xia Ruofei twisted and flicked, each silver needle vibrated at a different frequency.
The acupuncture process lasted for about half an hour.
Xia Ruofei gently exhaled, then waved his hand and all 10 silver needles were lifted up.
When he withdrew the needles, they would also pass through the subcutaneous tissue. The feeling was like a mosquito bite, causing Elder Liu to wake up from his sleep.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes. He turned his head to look and found that Xia Ruofei was methodically inserting the silver needles into the needle bag.
Elder Liu couldn't help but ask, "Is the acupuncture done?"
Xia Ruofei seriously rolled up the needle bag while nodding. At the same time, he asked with a smile, "Elder Liu, how do you feel?"
Elder Liu shook his head and said with a smile, "I feel much better. It seems that I have become stronger. Moreover, today is the first time that I don't feel the pain in my body after so many days. The effect is very obvious."
"The acupuncture is only a supplement. More importantly, you have to continue to take the Chinese medicine pills that I refined." Xia Ruofei put the needle bag into the medicine box and said, "The first course of treatment is about half a month. Take one pill every morning and night."
As he spoke, he took out the porcelain bottle that he had already prepared from the medicine box and said, "There are 30 pills in here. After you take all of them, the treatment effect will be more obvious."
Elder Liu was now in admiration of Xia Ruofei's medical skills. Naturally, he wouldn't have any doubts about Xia Ruofei's medical advice. He repeatedly nodded to show that he understood.
Xia Ruofei went over and poured half a cup of water. He also opened a bottle of mineral water and poured half of it into the cup to make it warm.
Then, Xia Ruofei took out a Chinese medicine pill from the porcelain bottle and put it in Elder Liu's hand.
Xia Ruofei said, "Elder Liu, take the first Chinese medicine pill now. In the future, you have to remember to take it every morning and night after meals."
Elder Liu had already turned over with the help of Xia Ruofei. He leaned against the bed and reached out to take the pill that Xia Ruofei handed to him. His other hand picked up the cup of warm water.
This pill looked black and very inconspicuous. However, Elder Liu had absolute trust in Xia Ruofei's medical skills. He stuffed the pill into his mouth without saying anything. Then, he drank a big mouthful of warm water and swallowed the pill.
Xia Ruofei sat at the head of the bed and observed for a while. He also chatted with Elder Liu for a while.
After a while, Xia Ruofei took Elder Liu's pulse again.
In fact, the result was similar to before. After all, Elder Liu had only taken one pill. In addition, Xia Ruofei had deliberately reduced the number of petals of the Spirit Heart Flower. Therefore, the effect of the pill wasn't too obvious.
However, Xia Ruofei keenly noticed that Elder Liu's bodily functions were nourished by the petals. At the same time, the cancer cells that were about to win suddenly became much less active.
Although it didn't directly eliminate the cancer cells, Elder Liu's condition could be said to have completely stabilized with the help of this pill.
This was all thanks to the petals of the Spirit Heart Flower.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "The effect is similar to what I expected. Elder Liu, I'm more confident in my treatment."
"That's great …" Elder Liu said excitedly.
Due to the recovery of his bodily functions, Elder Liu's voice was full of energy. Moreover, his face was no longer as pale as a sheet of paper.
After a moment of silence, Xia Ruofei said, "Elder Liu, in order to cooperate with the treatment, I hope that you can do the following. First, without my permission, don't do any more checkups. I'll let you know when it's time to do so. Second, from today onwards, don't take these drips that only relieve pain. Other than the pill that I gave you, you can't take any other medicine. Otherwise, there might be a conflict …"
Elder Liu couldn't help but interrupt Xia Ruofei. He asked worriedly, "Mr. Xia, you know my condition very well. Once it acts up, the pain is unbearable. If I really can't take it, can I take some painkillers?"
"Of course, I'm confident in doing this." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Don't worry, that kind of unbearable pain won't appear for at least a period of time. Even if it's a little bit painful, I guarantee that it'll be within the tolerance range of a normal person."
Xia Ruofei said this with great confidence. After all, he had just checked that the activity of the cancer cells in Elder Liu's body had decreased drastically. Moreover, his bodily functions had recovered quite well. Under these circumstances, the possibility of unbearable pain appearing again was very low.
"I understand …" Elder Liu said without much confidence.
