Bai Zhi patted the old lady’s hand and comforted her by saying: “Don’t get too excited. I am here, everything will be fine.”
Doctor Lu led her into the backroom. Village Chief Li was lying on the bed, unconscious, and with reddish complexion.
Bai Zhi stepped forward and opened his eyelid to check. She listened to his heartbeat and then checked his pulse.
Bai Zhi said to Doctor Lu: ” His cold disease is blocking the blood rushing in his body. Hurry, get me the silver needle.”
Doctor Lu turned around and took the silver needle from the medicine box and handed it to Bai Zhi while saying: “He has symptoms of stroke, are you sure you want to give him needle treatment?”
Bai Zhi’s hands started to move, she quickly unfolded the needle bag and took the needle: “Right now, we need to control his temperature with needle treatment, before it will be too late.” While talking, the silver needle in her hand had penetrated Village Chief Li’s Baihui acupoint.
Doctor Lu was scared. It was the Baihui acupoint. Just a little mistake can lead the patient to die on the spot. However, Bai Zhi not only punctured it, but she had done it so casually… …
Then next were the Dangyang acupoint, Yangbai acupoint, Zanzhu acupoint, and even the Yintang acupoint. These were a taboo acupoints. These acupoints can only be touched as a last resort.
But Bai Zhi’s needle was flying in the air after sticking in the body as if she was only playing.
After piercing Village Chief Li’s head and face, Bai Zhi lifted his clothes and pierced the needle in his Qihai acupoint, as well as the Ganshu and Pishu acupoints on his back.
Seeing that Bai Zhi’s needle stopped, Doctor Lu began to ask: “Zhi’er, what kind of acupuncture treatment are you doing? There won’t be a problem, right?”
Bai Zhi wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled, “Look at you, do you think I still have time to make fun of human life? Don’t worry about my needle treatment. He’ll wake up later.”
Doctor Lu asked another question: “Did he had a stroke?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “It was a stroke. Fortunately, the treatment was timely, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.”
Mrs. Li busily said: “This has nothing to do with me, I just said a few words to him, and then he became like this. I didn’t do anything, I really didn’t.”
Old Lady An angrily said: “You still have the face to say that it has nothing to do with you? If you didn’t come here to cause trouble, will he get angry?”
Mrs. Li shouted: “What’s the cause of a stroke? If you get angry, it will happen? Your son gets angry with me every day, why he hasn’t had a stroke?”
Old Lady An’s body trembled in anger. Bai Zhi grabbed her hand and said: “Don’t be angry, I’m here.” Then, she turned and faced Mrs. Li: “Ordinary people don’t have a stroke when quarreling, but Village Chief is different from your husband. He is old. Also, due to the sudden change in weather, the cold invaded his body and affected his blood flow. The cold stayed in his body, making his blood clot. This was not a big deal at first, it’s just a common cold disease. He will be alright after a few days of rest. He just needs to keep himself warm. Coincidentally, this simple cold disease harmed Village Chief Li, you came and provoked him, you stimulated him with words, making his blood rushed circulating inside his body, which led to a stroke.”
Mrs. Li was a typical stubborn woman in the mountain village. She had never been to school. How she will understand Bai Zhi’s long explanation? She only understood the last part, Bai Zhi said it was because of her words, so Village Chief Li had a stroke. So to say, it was her fault, right?
Mrs. Li was unconvinced, so she immediately retorted: “Who do you think you are? A wild girl picked up in the mountain, why do you think your words matter? If I say it has nothing to do with me, then it’s not my business. What are you trying to do?”
