Long Zhenguo said with a smile, "It was my little brother who saved you."
Xiang i followed her son's gaze and looked over. At this mont, she saw Luo Chao lying at the end of the bed, yawning and falling asleep.
"Zhenguo, are you talking about him?" Xiang i glanced at Luo Chao and then exclaid in surprise. What a joke, how could this young man do it when even Director Zheng, that old man, couldn't save her?
Long Zhenguo nodded: "Yes, it was him, my little brother. His dical skills are truly miraculous."
"Son, how are you getting more childish as you age, learning to lie like a kid," Xiang i said, still in disbelief.
Long Zhenguo felt a shiver on his scalp, not knowing what to say, while Zheng Hai smiled and said, "Comrade Xiang i, your illness was indeed cured by this young man. I saw it with my own eyes. You can't possibly not believe my words, can you?"
Director Zheng held a high status and was the dean of the central hospital. How could he lie? Upon hearing this, Xiang i was suddenly too surprised to speak.
At this mont, Luo Chao slowly opened his eyes. His body's recovery ability was extrely strong, and after resting for a while, he was full of energy again. He first stretched lazily with a yawn, then imdiately noticed Long Secretary's mother looking at him. Luo Chao smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie!"
"Hello," Xiang i looked at Luo Chao as if he were a monster, making him feel a bit uncomfortable all over. However, that word "Auntie" also made Xiang i feel rather strange, as she was old enough to be his grandmother!
Xiang i added, "Little Divine Doctor, thank you so much. I didn't expect soone as young as you to be so remarkable."
"It's nothing," Luo Chao smiled: "I only know a little about acupuncture."
At this ti, Long Zhenguo walked over and was about to kneel down, which startled Luo Chao. He quickly grabbed his arms and said with a hint of annoyance, "Secretary Long, what are you doing?"
Long Zhenguo, with tears in his eyes, said, "Brother Luo, I really can't thank you enough. I don't know how to repay this kind of kindness, so all I can do is kneel for you."
Luo Chao was truly an extraordinary person, and Long Zhenguo, known for his clean governance, couldn't repay much with money and could only express his gratitude by kneeling.
"Secretary Long, aren't we friends? You call Brother Luo every day, is it just for nothing?" Luo Chao said seriously, "If you keep doing this, I wouldn't dare call you for help in the future when I need it."
Long Zhenguo was stunned for a mont, then stood up straight and patted his shoulder heavily: "You're right, we are good brothers, Brother Luo, so I'll just say thank you without words!"
At this mont, Secretary Long didn't say anything further, everything was said without words, only feeling that knowing such a marvelous dical brother was truly a blessing!
Luo Chao said seriously, "Secretary Long, actually, your mother's illness cannot fully recover."
This unexpected statent left Director Zheng, Long Zhenguo, and Xiang i stunned, and Long Zhenguo was even more anxious as he said, "But my mother's complexion does look much better," but then he thought of Luo Chao as the doctor and didn't know anything himself, his lips quivered with fright.
Xiang i sighed, "Zhenguo, don't bla Luo Chao. He has already done his best. I'm satisfied just being able to see you one last ti on my deathbed."
anwhile, Director Zheng was puzzled. The Eighteen Needles of Returning to Life was an extraordinary acupuncture technique, and Luo Chao had used only seventeen needles, without the eighteenth. Could it be that Luo Chao didn't know the eighteenth needle, thus unable to save Secretary Long's mother?
Luo Chao smiled: "Auntie, what are you saying? Even if your illness can't fully recover, it won't be fatal!"
"Ah!" Everyone present exclaid in surprise, and Luo Chao said with a chuckle, "I'm not an Immortal, of course, I can't fully cure a serious illness like cancer, but what I can do is control Auntie's cancer cells, prevent them from proliferating, and with the clearing of the ridians and stimulation of acupoints, bring fresh blood flow to her intestines for new vitality, this is 'consolidating the foundation and cultivating the primordial qi'!"
'Consolidating the foundation and cultivating the primordial qi'! Zheng Hai's cloudy pupils suddenly shone brightly, what an excellent 'consolidating the foundation and cultivating the primordial qi', is this the way of Chinese dicine? This young man Luo Chao is truly impressive! Admirable, indeed!
At this ti, Director Zheng was looking at Luo Chao with reverent eyes.
Long Zhenguo breathed a sigh of relief, secretly finding it funny. This Brother Luo always had to finish his words in one go, was he trying to scare people to death? anwhile, Xiang i showed a happy smile, "Little Divine Doctor, thank you so much!"
"It's what I should do," Luo Chao smiled: "However, Auntie, you will still need to take traditional Chinese dicine for a while to recuperate, as the trauma from chemotherapy is too severe, and anwhile, adjust the intestines."
Upon hearing this, Director Zheng quickly took out paper and pen, handing them to Luo Chao. Luo Chao acknowledged, then placed the paper on a table and began writing, while Director Zheng, sneakily stood behind, watching with wide eyes, and understanding a fair bit about Chinese dicine prescriptions.
Luo Chao, writing and reciting: "Ginseng tastes sweet, greatly replenishes primordial qi, stops coughing and engenders fluid, nourishes the blood and protects the body, 4 liang of 100-year-old ginseng. Coptis tastes bitter, removes internal damp-heat, clears heat and brightens the eyes, thickens the intestines and calms, 2 liang of coptis. Green peel is bitter and warm, relieves qi stagnation, softens and calms the intestines, calms the stomach and aids digestion, 2 liang of green peel. Root bark is slightly warm, descends diaphragmatic qi, calms the stomach and strengthens the spleen, reduces swelling, 3 liang of root bark. Licorice is sweet and warm, harmonizes various dicines, roasted, it warms the center, raw, it clears the fire!"
When Luo Chao finished writing the prescription, Director Zheng quickly remarked, "Luo Chao, the combination of ginseng, coptis, green peel, and root bark is indeed quite clever, I've never seen anyone prescribe like this before, admirable! But isn't the use of licorice sowhat inappropriate!"
Luo Chao chuckled coldly and said, "Do you an to use Angelica or Ganoderma to harmonize the dicines? Your hospitals only know to have big pharmacies without realizing that licorice can actually achieve a better harmonizing effect. This warm-natured dicine, roasted, warms the center, Angelica and Ganoderma can't compare!"
Zheng Hai blushed imdiately, as a Western doctor, he naturally did not understand the reasoning. Upon hearing Luo Chao's explanation, he suddenly realized, licorice was too cheap, and hospitals wanting to make more money would naturally have big pharmacies, but licorice was the best harmonizing dicine!
"Divine Doctor, please forgive my short-sightedness in what I said earlier, please don't take it to heart," Director Zheng said very sincerely.
Luo Chao waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you, old fellow. I can only say, you're boosting others' morale and undermining your own prestige. The Chinese dicine of Huaxia has been passed down for thousands of years, it's not sothing Western dicine can compare to!"
"Yes, yes, yes," Director Zheng nodded repeatedly, the Eighteen Needles of Returning to Life just now simply blinded him, too miraculous, then he heard Luo Chao say, "Look at what your lousy Western dicine did, leaving Auntie in such a state!"
Director Zheng looked at Xiang i, and when he saw her bald head, his face twitched fiercely, almost on the verge of tears.
"Pfft!" Long Zhenguo held back his laughter, not knowing what to say about this little brother, too sharp-tongued, and Xiang i even burst into laughter, feeling extrely good after recovering from a serious illness.
