Wang Jiancheng glanced at Ye Qingya. Ye Qingya was looking ahead and nodded slightly. She knew very well that Wang Jiancheng was also involved in Adele’s world tour stop in Capital City. The guest perforrs couldn’t stall for too long. If there wasn’t any improvent in Adele’s condition within twenty minutes, the concert would have to be interrupted and cut short, and no one could predict what might happen.
Moreover, Ye Qingya, being a senior fan of Adele, hoped she would recover quickly.
Wang Jiancheng glanced at i Ru Xue and then looked at Xu Chunliang, who was already getting ready to leave. It wouldn’t hurt to let him try. If successful, there would be no harm to himself, and if he failed, it would be a good way to dampen his spirits and let i Ru Xue see his true level.
Wang Jiancheng said, "Mr. Xu, let take you to see Adele."
i Ru Xue volunteered to go with them. She didn’t hide her concern for Xu Chunliang at all, which left Wang Jiancheng rather speechless. What role was he playing tonight? He couldn’t quite figure it out himself.
Adele was backstage, and her health care doctor had already conducted an ergency checkup on her.
She exhibited a tinnitus rhythm that matched the speed of her heartbeat and pulse, with a rapid roaring nature. The doctor could also hear it with a stethoscope, which is known in Western dicine as rhythmic tinnitus, vascular tinnitus, or pulsatile tinnitus.
It is usually caused by vascular diseases like atherosclerosis or idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which is an accumulation of pressure inside the skull.
The healthcare doctor had a grave look on his face, thinking it’s possible Adele had intracranial vascular lesions. For Adele’s health, the concert should be imdiately halted, and enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and enhanced CT should be arranged. The causes of vascular tinnitus are varied, and if these two tests are normal but vascular lesions are still highly suspected, interventional angiography or MRI angiography is needed.
Adele was a dedicated singer, asking if there was any dication that could temporarily alleviate her tinnitus so she could finish the rest of the performance.
To stop like this would be irresponsible to the organizer and the fans. She always had good health and had undergone a comprehensive dical check-up before this world tour, which concluded she was very healthy.
She thought the healthcare doctor was a bit alarmist. What she needed now was an imdiate solution, not suggestions to stop the show and go to the hospital, and she wanted to ensure the performance was completed as much as possible as long as her physical condition allowed.
Xu Chunliang and the others ca to this international superstar under such circumstances. On the way, a person in charge on-site briefly introduced the situation to them. They had seen Adele’s health report; her body indicators were all normal, with no previous diseases. She had only lost weight last year, but whether weight loss was the cause of the tinnitus was unknown.
Adele saw i Ru Xue, the beautiful Oriental girl who recently presented her with flowers and ntioned that she could introduce a doctor who would solve her tinnitus problem in five minutes. Adele had a good impression of i Ru Xue, thinking she might be one of the organizers.
Adele waved at i Ru Xue, leading i Ru Xue to converse fluently in English with her.
Wang Jiancheng glanced at Xu Chunliang, who was calmly taking out a needle pouch from his waist. Two coal-like bodyguards quickly ca over, raising their left hands straight to signal stop and reaching for their anti-riot sticks at their waists, thinking Xu Chunliang ant harm to Adele.
Wang Jiancheng hurriedly explained, "Don’t misunderstand, we’re here to help treat the illness."
Xu Chunliang calmly said, "Tell them I’m the top doctor in China, and I can cure her tinnitus with Chinese acupuncture in five minutes."
Wang Jiancheng thought, you braggart, aren’t you embarrassed? I’m embarrassed translating this for you. I can’t translate this; it’s too humiliating! Regret giving this guy access. It’s a small matter to embarrass him alone, but affecting the image of a great nation is not worth it.
i Ru Xue translated for Adele, and luckily Adele was familiar with Chinese acupuncture, having tried it before, and imdiately stopped the two bodyguards.
Xu Chunliang finally stepped up to her and said to Wang Jiancheng, "Mr. Wang, please translate for ."
Wang Jiancheng was really helpless, now reduced to his translator. With i Ru Xue’s excellent English, why ? Testing ? My English is no worse than i Ru Xue’s, really think I can’t do it?
Xu Chunliang said, "Tinnitus can be categorized as deficiency or excess syndro! Usually worsened during exertion, slightly reduced when pressed, accompanied by dizziness and lower back pain with discharge!"
Wang Jiancheng stared at Xu Chunliang in shock, silently cursing in his heart. Xu Chunliang, you rascal, no wonder you wanted to translate. What is all this? At least use plain language! How to translate deficiency syndro? How to translate discharge?
i Ru Xue almost burst out laughing. Xu Chunliang, you’re too much. At a ti like this, you’re still teasing people? Not to ntion Wang Jiancheng, even she would have difficulty translating this passage verbatim.
Xu Chunliang didn’t care whether Wang Jiancheng translated or not; actually, translation wasn’t important. He continued, "I’ll be choosing points along the Hand and Foot Shaoyang ridians mainly, using reinforcing thods, Mr. Wang, translate! Hurry and translate!"
Wang Jiancheng opened his mouth, speechless. He shook his head at i Ru Xue in defeat, "Xiaoxue, I really can’t do this one, you’ll have to translate."
Xu Chunliang said, "Xiaoxue, just tell her I’ll start the treatnt now."
Wang Jiancheng opened his eyes wide. Damn, I can say that too! Why is it all professional terms for and simplified for i Ru Xue? Xu Chunliang, you’re deliberately teasing . I’ll settle this with you later.
Xu Chunliang said to Wang Jiancheng, "Just tell her to relax, and in five minutes, I’ll restore her hearing to normal."
Wang Jiancheng finally got a straightforward sentence to translate. Regardless of whether Xu Chunliang was bluffing, he quickly finished translating. He couldn’t help but ask Xu Chunliang, "Are you sure about the five minutes?"
Xu Chunliang replied, "You translated it?"
Wang Jiancheng nodded.
Xu Chunliang sighed and said, "I’m telling you the truth, but you shouldn’t make it sound so definitive to her. There’s no such thing as absolute certainty in this world."
Wang Jiancheng rolled his eyes in frustration.
Xu Chunliang took out an acupuncture needle, got so alcohol swabs from the health doctor, and while disinfecting, smiled at Adele, saying, "I’m going to start."
Wang Jiancheng stopped translating, and Xu Chunliang actually said, "I was just kidding, don’t take it seriously, keep translating!"
In front of so many people, Wang Jiancheng had to show magnanimity. Suddenly, he rembered his father often saying he cared too much about face and suffered for it. Today’s events gave him so insight.
Xu Chunliang selected the area behind and below Adele’s earlobe, the depression behind the ear’s root, and gently said, "Yifeng acupoint, Yifeng ans to expel, wind refers to wind pathogens. This is where the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao ridian and the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder ridian et."
Having suffered a few silent losses before, Wang Jiancheng beca cleverer and translated it to—Don’t be nervous, it will be over soon. You can trick , but I can deceive you back, and even take Adele along for the ride.
i Ru Xue almost wanted to laugh as this serious matter was lightened by the antics of these two, reducing the tension considerably. Although she was confident in Xu Chunliang, she couldn’t help but feel nervous in such an important setting.
Xu Chunliang remained calm and steady, swiftly inserting the needle using a fast puncture thod. After insertion, he felt the elastic resistance, indicating the layer with the visage nerve’s auricular branch. The needle tip triggered the first acupuncture sensation.
Xu Chunliang did not pause and continued to insert the needle. After breaking through the elastic layer, the resistance decreased, and he inserted the needle 1.5 centiters further until encountering new resistance as the needle tip entered the trunk of the facial nerve.
Adele’s facial muscles contracted in response, and Xu Chunliang continued to insert the needle vertically deeper, adjusting the needle angle slightly forward to pass smoothly through the second acupuncture sensation layer. The insertion resistance continued to decrease as the needle penetrated 3.5 centiters, intensifying the acupuncture sensation.
The needle tip angled downwards, stimulating the hypoglossal nerve, triggering the third acupuncture sensation.
Adele’s health physician was dumbfounded, viewing it as if the needle had been inserted deep into Adele’s brain. Good heavens, could this lead to sothing fatal?
The other onlookers were also horrified, especially Wang Jiancheng, who increasingly regretted it. He only wanted to see Xu Chunliang embarrassed, not realizing this guy was so bold. This was sticking a needle into soone’s head! What if Adele ended up hard? Could insurance even cover it?
Since Adele was the one being needled, she couldn’t see as clearly as they could. She just felt a swelling pain in her cheek area extending to the side of her neck, with aches in the external ear canal as well. As the needle went deeper, aside from the aforentioned sensations, her inner and middle ear also felt a swelling pain, spreading to her throat.
As the needle angle changed, a slight swelling pain even reached under her tongue.
After the third acupuncture sensation was stimulated in Adele, Xu Chunliang used the scraping handle thod. The needle’s vibration from the handle scraping transmitted to the third acupuncture sensation layer, making the sensation persist.
Adele closed her eyes tightly. The unbearable tinnitus in her right ear had already disappeared by this ti.
Wang Jiancheng looked at the ti; only two minutes had passed. Xu Chunliang said it would take five minutes. Will he make it? He didn’t believe it but was sowhat hopeful deep down.
Xu Chunliang temporarily left the needle at the Yifeng acupoint and chose the Zhongzhu acupoint on Adele’s right hand.
Zhongzhu acupoint, where ’Zhong’ is inward relative to the exterior, referring to the contents within this point, and ’Zhu’ aning a small island in water. Zhongzhu implies the accumulation of spleen matter elevated with the Qi and blood of the Sanjiao ridian.
Also known as Xiadu, it’s a point on the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao ridian located on the back of the hand, in the depression 2 centiters below the base of the little and ring fingers. Massaging this point can clear heat, unblock the ridians, open the orifices, and enhance hearing.
This point is known as the lucky star for nopausal won, and pressing the Zhongzhu acupoint can effectively regulate nopausal syndro, ensuring middle-aged won’s ntal and physical health and improving quality of life.
