The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.
The trainer and veterinarian were even more shocked. They couldn't believe their eyes.
They had been with the "Star of Hong Kong" for more than two years, so they knew the "Star of Hong Kong" like the back of their hand. This was not an easy horse to please. It was already difficult to control under normal circumstances, and now that it was severely injured, it was even harder to calm down under the intense pain.
Unexpectedly, the young man who knew nothing about horse racing did nothing. He just patted the horse's head a few times, and the "Star of Hong Kong" calmed down immediately.
They felt like they had just seen a ghost.
Guo Hongjiang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
He didn't dare to disturb Xia Ruofei, so he pulled Ma Xiong aside and asked in a low voice, "Chairman Ma, is Mr. Xia good at taming animals?"
Ma Xiong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not sure, but Xia Sheng has always been good at creating miracles. I won't be surprised no matter what he does."
Guo Hongjiang took a deep breath.
This evaluation was not low, especially when it came from Ma Xiong's mouth. That was even more difficult.
Guo Hongjiang took a deep look at Xia Ruofei who was not far away, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
Xia Ruofei didn't know that his small action had made Guo Hongjiang and his team look at him in a new light.
He just couldn't bear to see the "Star of Hong Kong" struggling in pain, so he released his mind power to comfort it.
Xia Ruofei didn't understand animal language, but he didn't need to use his mind power to communicate with the "Star of Hong Kong". Maybe he couldn't use his mind power to communicate with the "Star of Hong Kong", but it wasn't a problem for him to convey his kindness and comfort.
After the "Star of Hong Kong" calmed down, Xia Ruofei needed to check its injuries.
Before the herbs arrived, Xia Ruofei had to have a comprehensive understanding of the "Star of Hong Kong".
Therefore, he walked to the other side and stood behind the "Star of Hong Kong" as he continued to release his comforting and warm thoughts.
This side of the horse's leg was very swollen, which was obviously caused by a fracture.
Xia Ruofei slowly reached out to the swollen area.
Guo Hongjiang's eyelids twitched when he saw this. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Xia, be careful …"
He was not worried that Xia Ruofei would hurt the "Star of Hong Kong". Since he had decided to let Xia Ruofei handle it, he would not interfere anymore. However, the fracture was very painful. He was worried that the "Star of Hong Kong" would struggle violently again and hurt Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's fine. I'm just checking on its injuries."
Guo Hongjiang quickly said, "The medical team has already performed an emergency examination with a portable X-ray machine. I'll get someone to bring the film to you."
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "There's no need, Director Guo. I still believe in my own examination."
Guo Hongjiang and Ma Xiong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
In fact, many Chinese doctors were like this. Even with the help of all kinds of sophisticated instruments, whether it was X-ray, CT, or the more sophisticated MRI, which could clearly show the parts that needed to be examined, many Chinese doctors still insisted on the traditional way of looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse. The instrument examination was only for support or verification.
"Mr. Xia, be careful. The 'Star of Hong Kong' is very strong," Guo Hongjiang said.
"I know. Thank you for reminding me, Director Guo," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Everyone stared at Xia Ruofei without blinking. They were afraid that the "Star of Hong Kong" would suddenly hurt someone. Although the body was fixed on the frame, the leg, especially the injured one, could not be completely tied up.
However, what everyone was worried about did not happen.
Xia Ruofei gently stroked the swollen wound. The "Star of Hong Kong" just trembled a little, and then obediently lay down on the frame without even struggling.
Everyone present knew more about horse racing than Xia Ruofei, and they could not help but marvel at this scene.
Xia Ruofei slightly closed his eyes. His movements seemed casual, but in fact, his spiritual power had penetrated the leg of the "Star of Hong Kong". The condition of the injury quickly appeared in Xia Ruofei's mind.
There were many strained muscles and ruptured tendons. Of course, the most serious injury was a fracture.
It was not a dislocation. The "Star of Hong Kong" was heavily smashed on the leg by a horse that was about the same weight as it. The calf bone in the middle of the three bones was directly broken. The broken bone was inserted into the muscle, and there were many bone fragments at the fracture. It was the most serious injury at first glance.
No wonder the medical team did not make any unnecessary attempts after the examination and directly proposed euthanasia.
According to normal animal medical experience, this was the least painful and most humane way for the "Star of Hong Kong".
After checking the condition of the "Star of Hong Kong", Xia Ruofei had a rough idea of what was going on.
He opened his eyes and looked up at Guo Hongjiang.
Guo Hongjiang was also looking at Xia Ruofei very nervously. He asked, "Mr. Xia, how is it?"
Although he did not believe that Xia Ruofei could diagnose the injury with just a few gentle touches, he could not help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart. After all, the way Xia Ruofei comforted the "Star of Hong Kong" was something that even the most experienced trainer could not do.
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "The calf is fractured, and there are two torn tendons, as well as many strained muscles. The problem is quite serious."
Guo Hongjiang and the medical team were all stunned.
The veterinarian who could not help but stand up and question Xia Ruofei looked at his assistant. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "Ah Cheng, did Mr. Xia see the film just now?"
Ah Cheng, the veterinarian's assistant, said with a blank face, "That's impossible! After the film came out, only a few of us looked at it for a while, and then we put it in the bag! "
The veterinarian could not help but gasp. If the film had been put away, it meant that Xia Ruofei could not have seen the film when he came in just now.
In other words, the result of the inspection was so accurate that there was not the slightest bit of error. It was this Mr. Xia who had simply kicked the horse's leg a few times!
This was too unbelievable, wasn't it?
Guo Hongjiang turned to look at the veterinarian and asked, "Dr. Li?"
Dr. Li immediately understood what Guo Hongjiang meant. He quickly said, "Chairman Guo, Mr. Xia's judgment is completely correct!"
His tone was a little bitter. Just now, he strongly questioned Xia Ruofei, the "layman," and it had only been a short while. Whether it was comforting the "Star of Hong Kong" or this magical examination, it had completely overturned their understanding.
Dr. Li felt that his face was burning, and he wanted to find a hole to hide in.
He felt that he was a frog at the bottom of a well, and he had no idea how vast the sky was.
Of course, Xia Ruofei did not care about the little episode just now, and he had no intention of humiliating Dr. Li.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Guo Hongjiang, "Chairman Guo, although the situation is a little serious, I can still give it a try. Whether I succeed or not, I can at least guarantee that the" Star of Hong Kong "will not suffer any additional pain."
Guo Hongjiang finally showed a hint of excitement. Xia Ruofei's two casual moves really shocked Guo Hongjiang.
He nodded and said, "Mr. Xia, then I'll leave it to you!"
"You're welcome …" Xia Ruofei smiled faintly.
He had been standing next to the "Star of Hong Kong" the whole time, stroking the horse's head from time to time to comfort it.
The "Star of Hong Kong" no longer struggled violently like before. Although the pain made its body tremble from time to time, it was still very docile overall.
In the eyes of the trainer, it was even more docile than before it was injured!
The staff who were sent to buy the herbs were also very efficient. In less than half an hour, they came back with bags of herbs.
They also brought back some charcoal, a casserole pot for decocting herbs, and a charcoal stove.
After getting what he wanted, Xia Ruofei immediately said, "Chairman Guo, I can't be too far away from the" Star of Hong Kong ", so I can only prepare the herbs here. About the process of decocting …"
Guo Hongjiang immediately understood and quickly said, "Mr. Xia, thank you for your hard work! We'll wait outside! "
After that, Guo Hongjiang immediately called Ma Xiong and the rest of the staff to leave the stable.
There were surveillance cameras in the stable all day long.
However, after Guo Hongjiang and the others left, Xia Ruofei walked over and turned the camera to the corner of the wall without hesitation.
Then, he set up the charcoal stove and casserole pot, and started to boil the herbs.
Although the stable was drafty, there was a faucet here, and the staff had prepared a complete set of tools, so it was not a big problem to boil the herbs on the spot.
Xia Ruofei did not just prescribe a few herbs randomly. He had mastered many lost prescriptions, and this time, he was going to brew an ointment to treat bruises.
Even without the solution of the spirit heart flower petal, this ointment was much more effective than the ones sold on the market.
Of course, for such a serious injury, even with this ointment, it would take at least two months to fully recover. Therefore, the spirit heart flower petal was a must.
Xia Ruofei was very experienced in boiling herbs now.
He skillfully picked out a dozen herbs from a large pile. These were the herbs needed to boil the ointment, and the rest were used as a cover.
Xia Ruofei put the herbs into the casserole pot, added some water, and started to boil the herbs.
It took a long time to boil the herbs. If the patient was a human, Xia Ruofei could use acupuncture to seal the nerves so that the patient would not feel any pain. However, Xia Ruofei did not know about the meridians and acupuncture points of horses, so he could only ask the "Star of Hong Kong" to bear with it for now.
After all, he had to do this without arousing suspicion, so Xia Ruofei could not be too careful.
Time ticked by.
Guo Hongjiang and the others did not leave at all. They waited anxiously not far from the stable.
Guo Hongjiang could not sit still at all. He was so nervous that he kept pacing back and forth on the field.
"Chairman Guo, take a break! It takes a long time to boil the herbs! "Ma Xiong said.
"It's okay, I can't sit still now …" Guo Hongjiang said with a wry smile. "Chairman Ma, how confident do you think Mr. Xia can …"
"I really don't know," Ma Xiong said. "But Xia Sheng rarely takes the initiative to do anything. This time, I guess he was moved by compassion. No matter what, this is the only chance for you and the" Star of Hong Kong "."
"I understand." Guo Hongjiang sighed. "No matter what the result is, I will thank Mr. Xia."
The staff in Guo Hongjiang's team were also whispering. They were not confident at all.
Even though Xia Ruofei had shown his magical skills before, the staff still could not believe that such a serious injury could be cured with traditional Chinese medicine.
Weren't traditional Chinese medicines made from grass roots and tree barks?
Especially in the minds of some younger staff, traditional Chinese medicine was not much different from witch doctors. Traditional Chinese medicine was not even a plant medicine.
While Guo Hongjiang was suffering, Xia Ruofei in the stable was relatively leisurely. All he needed to do was watch the fire.
After more than an hour, the water in the casserole had almost all evaporated. A layer of black ointment appeared on the bottom and inner walls.
This was already the last step of the process.
Previously, the herbs were put in the casserole in batches. First, the decoction was made. Then, the dregs were poured back into the casserole to continue heating. At the same time, the last three herbs that had been ground into powder were put in. Finally, a little ointment was made, which was enough for one use.
Xia Ruofei scraped off all the ointment and carefully checked to make sure that no one was watching. Then, he took out a small porcelain bottle from the Ring-Tu space.
This was the solution of the spirit heart flower petal that he had asked Xia Qing to prepare in advance.
The flower petal dissolved when it came into contact with water. This solution of the flower petal was also the most concentrated solution that Xia Ruofei had made since he got the Ring-Tu space. He only used a little bit of spring water.
He opened the porcelain bottle and poured all the solution into the medicine bowl. Then, he mixed it with the ointment.
Because the solution was very small, the ointment only became a little thinner and still looked like a paste.
After finishing, Xia Ruofei immediately put the porcelain bottle into the space and let out a sigh of relief.
He comforted the "Star of Hong Kong", then walked out of the stable and motioned to Guo Hongjiang.
Guo Hongjiang and the others quickly walked over.
"Chairman Guo, I've prepared the medicine." Xia Ruofei said, "In order to ensure that the" Star of Hong Kong "can cooperate with the treatment, I need to put it in a coma for two to three hours. Can you do that?"
Xia Ruofei did this in order to let the medicine take full effect. Before that, he had to set the bones of the "Star of Hong Kong". The process would be very painful. Xia Ruofei could not guarantee that there would not be any problems.
Guo Hongjiang immediately turned to the veterinarian, Dr. Li.
Dr. Li saw this and quickly said, "In this case, we can only give it general anesthesia. Under normal circumstances, chloral hydrate will be enough, but …"
When Doctor Li said this, he wanted to say something but stopped.
