Elon Musk and Grimes led Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu to the huge reception room on the first floor of the mansion's main building.
Elon Musk asked, "Mr. Li, Dr. Xia, tea or coffee?"
Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Mr. Musk also has tea here?"
Elon Musk smiled and said, "Not long ago, a friend from Huaxia gave it to us. Although the two of us aren't too used to the taste of Huaxia's tea leaves, the tea leaves this time seem to be particularly fragrant, so we occasionally drink some."
"Is that so?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Then let's also try this tea!"
"No problem!" Elon Musk nodded with a smile and then motioned to the housekeeper standing to the side.
The housekeeper bowed slightly and walked to the side to prepare tea for everyone.
The thermostatic tea cabinet was in the corner of the reception room. Although the reception room was very large and the distance was a bit far, Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu could see at a glance that the housekeeper had actually taken out Taoyuan Da Hong Pao from the cabinet. Moreover, looking at the packaging, it was the most expensive kind.
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
What made Xia Ruofei somewhat surprised was that there was actually an exquisite Kung Fu tea set next to the cabinet. It was probably also a gift from Elon Musk's tea delivery friend.
The housekeeper's movements in making tea were somewhat jerky, and what made Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu not know whether to laugh or cry was that the housekeeper had basically used the complicated tea set as a filtering tool. In the end, the brewed tea was actually placed in coffee cups, and everyone was given a large cup.
This cup of tea, if it was a normal tea cup, could fill at least ten to twenty cups.
No wonder the housekeeper had to toss and turn for a long time when making tea. After all, this kind of Kung Fu tea set could only fill four to five tea cups.
Four large coffee cups and steaming hot tea were placed in front of Xia Ruofei and the others by the housekeeper on a tray.
Elon Musk smiled and said, "Mr. Li, Dr. Xia, please have a taste!"
"Thank you!" Xia Ruofei's expression was a little strange. He picked up the heavy coffee cup and took a sip.
Although the tea-brewing technique was terrible to the extreme, Taoyuan Da Hong Pao was still fragrant and tasted good.
Of course, he could only get an evaluation of "not bad". It was impossible for him to get any higher.
Good tea leaves needed to be brewed carefully. Moreover, there were subtle differences in the taste and aftertaste of each brew. People who often drank tea would be able to feel the subtle changes just by tasting it.
This cup of tea was mixed with several stews, so the taste had already become a little strange.
Elon Musk also took a sip, revealing an expression of reminiscence as he asked, "Doctor Xia, how is this tea?"
Xia Ruofei tactfully replied, "Not bad, right?"
He couldn't say, "The tea is impeccable, but the tea-brewing technique is terrible. Such expensive tea leaves are wasted..."
However, Xia Ruofei still felt that his Taoyuan Da Hong Pao wasn't worth it, so he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Musk, in Huaxia, there are still many things to pay attention to when brewing tea. Your tea set is quite good, but there seems to be some small problems with the way you use it... Of course, this isn't important! If there's a chance, I can show you the correct way to brew Da Hong Pao tea leaves! As for now... let's talk about the condition first! "
Elon Musk quickly nodded and said, "Okay! Little X was diagnosed three days ago, and she did a very comprehensive examination in the past three days. Doctor Xia, I'll get someone to bring the examination reports over, and call Dr. Manuel's medical team over. How about you discuss it first? "
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "I'd prefer to see the patient first! Mr. Musk, I just told you that Chinese medicine is particular about looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse. It's very important to diagnose the patient face to face. In contrast, we don't rely on the examination reports as much as Western medicine. "
Elon Musk and Grimes looked at each other. They both thought of Xia Ruofei's magical "look" formula outside just now. With a glance, he could accurately determine the disease in the patient's body. This was simply more powerful than CT and MRI!
Since they had already agreed to Xia Ruofei's visit for treatment with an attitude of giving it a try, Elon Musk and Grimes naturally wouldn't refuse Xia Ruofei's normal request for a face-to-face diagnosis.
Therefore, Elon Musk quickly nodded and said, "No problem! But I'll have to trouble Doctor Xia to move to the third floor. Little X is receiving preoperative treatment and can't leave her room. "
"Of course!" Xia Ruofei picked up the coffee cup and drank a big mouthful of tea. He stood up and said, "It's better to be early than late. Let's go see the patient now!"
"Okay! Please come with me! " Elon Musk also stood up. He looked at Li Yifu and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Li, why don't... you rest here for a while?"
Li Yifu had already stood up with Xia Ruofei. He said, "I'll go with you! Uh... is it convenient? "
Since his martial granduncle was treating someone, how could he, as his grand-disciple, sit here casually with a cup of coffee and a cup of tea? Even if he couldn't help, he had to have a proper attitude!
Elon Musk felt a little strange, but he immediately said, "Of course it's convenient! Please come this way! "
Elon Musk and Grimes led Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu directly through the indoor elevator to the third floor.
The group passed through a stone corridor and came to a room at the east end.
Elon Musk pushed the door open and entered. Xia Ruofei and the others followed closely behind.
Xia Ruofei saw a young female nurse in a white coat and a forty-year-old aunt in the room. She looked like a nanny who specialized in taking care of children.
She was probably a domestic confinement nanny, but foreigners didn't pay attention to confinement, so there was no such thing as a "confinement nanny."
When the young female nurse saw Elon Musk and the others walk in, she quickly gestured for them to keep quiet and said softly, "Mr. Musk, the child just fell asleep. Please keep quiet!"
Elon Musk turned his gaze to Xia Ruofei, his eyes revealing a look of inquiry.
Xia Ruofei nodded gently and said, "It's okay if he's asleep..."
After that, he walked to the modified crib and leaned in to observe.
Little X was still a newborn. His hair was a little sparse and the skin on his face wasn't completely smooth. There were also some places that were peeling and didn't look cute at all.
Although he was sleeping, his little eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Obviously, he wasn't very comfortable.
There was an obvious red lump on the child's neck. Even his face was slightly deformed.
There was also a shelf next to the crib with an infusion bag hanging on it. Little X was still receiving an infusion, but the child's blood vessels were too thin. Only the blood vessels on the forehead could barely meet the infusion conditions. Therefore, the infusion needle was inserted on the forehead, which looked shocking.
Xia Ruofei reached out his hand and carefully avoided the position of the infusion needle. He gently stroked Little X's forehead.
The nurse's expression changed slightly. She couldn't help but call out softly, "Sir..."
Elon Musk waved his hand to stop the nurse.
The nurse stopped, but there was still a trace of displeasure on her face.
Xia Ruofei's hand moved away from the child's forehead. Other than Li Yifu, the others didn't see that Xia Ruofei had just used a small strand of spiritual force to let the baby enter a deeper sleep.
In fact, after the spiritual force took effect, the child's eyebrows had already slowly relaxed. This was because he couldn't feel the pain of his body in a deep sleep.
Xia Ruofei reached out and gently opened the child's eyelids to take a look. Then, he gently opened the child's mouth to observe the coating on his tongue. Finally, he reached out and pulled a stool to sit by the crib. Then, he put his fingers on the child's wrist and took his pulse.
A child's pulse was much weaker than an adult's. Without a certain level of skill, it wasn't easy to check the pulse. However, this obviously wasn't a problem for Xia Ruofei.
After a while, Xia Ruofei stood up.
When he was taking the pulse, he had also used his spiritual force to conduct a thorough examination of the child. Therefore, he already knew what was going on.
He nodded slightly to Elon Musk and took the lead to walk out of the room.
Elon Musk and the others hurriedly followed, leaving behind the young female nurse and the nanny looking at each other in dismay.
They didn't know what the Asian man that their boss had brought in was doing. He didn't say anything when he came in. He went over to the child and rolled his eyelids and pinched his mouth. Finally, he touched his wrist and closed his eyes in contemplation. After a series of operations, he didn't say anything and just got up and left.
The nurse thought for a moment and walked to the corner of the room. She took out her phone and called Elon Musk's personal doctor, Manuel, and reported the situation to him.
Manuel and the medical team he had set up lived in this mansion. This included the nurse. Strictly speaking, she was a member of Manuel's medical team. Therefore, to be more precise, Manuel was her boss.
She had to be responsible for her boss.
In fact, they provided medical services in this mansion as a stopgap measure. Once the treatment plan was determined, it was certain that they would have to go to a professional medical institution for surgery and follow-up treatment.
It was just that rich people could choose the best private medical institutions and receive better treatment than public hospitals.
After leaving the room, Elon Musk directly led Xia Ruofei to a room next door and then impatiently asked, "Doctor Xia, how is the situation?"
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed a rhabdomyosarcoma. The primary focus should be the neck. However, the course of the disease is progressing very quickly. It has now begun to spread to the brain. There are already tumor cells in the eye socket. In addition, there are also early lymph node metastases and hematological spread. There are also signs of infection in the lungs. "
Elon Musk and Grimes looked at each other and revealed an incomparably shocked expression. Xia Ruofei's judgment was almost exactly the same as the medical team's examination results yesterday. That was the examination results that Dr. Manuel and the others had used a lot of the best medical equipment to produce! Xia Ruofei only had to look at the eyes, tongue coating, and then take the pulse to make such an accurate judgment. It was simply unimaginable.
The reason why it was "almost" exactly the same was because the medical team's examination didn't find any metastases in the eye socket.
However, Elon Musk and Grimes already had a lot of trust in Xia Ruofei's medical skills. At the very least, they were incomparably convinced by his examination methods. Therefore, they would rather believe that the medical team's examination wasn't thorough enough and not that Xia Ruofei's judgment was wrong.
Elon Musk was somewhat flabbergasted and couldn't help but ask, "Doctor … Doctor Xia, how did you come to such a detailed conclusion?"
If Xia Ruofei's examination methods were in the field of Western medicine, it would only be the simplest of physical examination methods. He could only make a basic judgment and it was simply impossible for him to be so accurate.
Elon Musk had personally seen Xia Ruofei's understated examination methods. He even had an illusion that if he learned a few techniques, he could also be as powerful as Xia Ruofei.
After a brief hesitation, Xia Ruofei slowed down his speed and said, "After the initial examination, the child's tongue is light and fat, white coating is slightly greasy, and the pulse is heavy and slippery. According to the symptoms of the disease and the child's constitution, it can be determined that it's a mixture of phlegm and heat. Therefore, the affected area will be painful and red. The child's vital energy has already been damaged, so he can't fight against the disease … "
It was indeed difficult to express the dialectical theory of TCM in English. Xia Ruofei also had to rack his brains before he could barely translate it. Furthermore, there were some words that couldn't convey the meaning.
When Elon Musk and Grimes heard it, they were even more confused. They had no idea what Xia Ruofei was talking about, but it sounded very magical …
Li Yifu smiled and said, "Mr. Musk, Doctor Xia's medical skills are second to none in Huaxia. Let me give you a friendly reminder. Not all TCM doctors can make such an accurate judgment in a short period of time. Furthermore, TCM treatment pays attention to both the symptoms and the root cause. The treatment process is often longer than Western medicine, and the effect won't be as quick. Therefore, you can't blindly believe in TCM. "
Li Yifu reminded him out of kindness. He didn't want Elon Musk to become a fanatic fan of TCM in the future, wanting to invite TCM doctors to take a look at any illness. If there were any serious problems, it would be easy to delay the treatment. Furthermore, the probability of encountering a swindler wasn't low.
Li Yifu continued, "Of course, Doctor Xia's TCM treatment is different from others. Generally speaking, the effect will be very fast, even faster than Western medicine. Furthermore, it has an advantage that Western medicine can't compare to. That is, most cases don't require surgery, so it won't harm the patient's vitality."
Elon Musk nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder and explanation, Mr. Li! Thank you! "
Li Yifu smiled and nodded.
Elon Musk immediately looked at Xia Ruofei and asked eagerly, "Doctor Xia, you already understand Little X's condition. May I ask if it can be treated through TCM?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and looked at Elon Musk and Grimes, who were eagerly looking at him. He nodded with certainty and said, "I have treated malignant tumors that were much more serious than this. The patient has now completely recovered. Although Little X's condition is somewhat serious, because it was discovered in time, it won't be a big problem to completely cure it."
