Chapter 156 Suite the Medicine to the Sickness (1/2)
Upon hearing his son had only three days to live, Su Hachuan fell on his knees in front of Qin Haodong and begged, ”Doctor Qin, please save my son. I can pay how much you want if you can treat him. I'll pay you at any cost.”
Li Yue followed him and kneeled down aside. She begged, ”Yes, Doctor Qin. My husband will sculpt the yellow jade for you, or even spend the rest of his life working for you, as long as you can save our son.”
Qin Haodong lifted up the two in haste and said, ”Don't mix things up. I'll treat the patient first and we'll talk about other things later.”
”Doctor Qin, my son's life will be all yours.”
Said Su Haichuan and his wife standing off the ground, they still looked pitiful in their eyes, though.
Qin Haodong said, ”Do not worry. I got him. Your son shall be fine.”
Gao Fengwen said, ”Medical Sage. We didn't find the exact way to treat him in with Chinese Medicine. Where are you going to start?”
He looked respectful, like a humble and curious pupil.
Qin Haodong said, ”The key point of Chinese medicine is to suit the medicine to the sickness, and that still works when it comes to treating the parasites.”
Gao Fengwen asked again, ”Medical Sage, how do you suit the medicine to those parasites?”
”The parasites in his body were hermaphrodites, and they prefer higher when spawning. Human beings are warm-blooded animals, but the temperature of different parts vary from each other. The parasites are sensitive to temperature, so they wormed their way into the internal organs to spawn at a higher temperature.
”The fever the patient is having now is also caused by the parasite. It brought up the temperature and boost the spawning of the parasites, thus forming a vicious circle.
”Since the parasites like high temperatures, we need to cool down the patients and control the spawning of the parasites, then expel it out of the patients.”
He took out his phone and called Lin Momo after he explained that, asking her to send all the ice cubes in the canteen of Lin's Group to Su Haichuan's home.
Jiangnan was in summer days at that time, so it was not easy to find plenty of ice cubes at one time; however, Lin's Group had stored a great number of ice cubes in its canteen freezers to relief the summer heat for its staff.
Lin Momo was quite a capable woman. Saber and Sword sent to large bags of ice cubes to Su Haichuan's house within ten minutes.
Qin Haodong asked Saber to take off Su Xiaolong's clothes and put him in the bathtub in the bathroom. Then he took out the silver needle and puncture the crucial point on his chest to protect his heart.
After all the work had been done, Qin Haodong let Saber pulled all ice cubes into the basin. The ice water actually worked; within five minutes, Su Xiaolong's fever was cooled down to normal.
Qin Haodong felt his pause again and find the frequency of parasite activity in inside him dropped significantly, and they had stopped spawning.
As time went by, about ten more minutes later, Su Xiaolong opened his eyes. He felt so cold that his lips were blue. He couldn't speak because of the trembling. He could only watch the couple with his pleading eyes, which pretty much said that he could no longer go on with this.
Li Yue shared her son's pain, and she said to Qin Haodong, ”Doctor Qin, would this work? Could this go wrong?”
”Don't worry, he'll be fine,” Qin Haodong said as he flicked several times on the end of the needle, transferring the Green Wood Genuine Qi into Su Xiaolong and maintained his life so that he wouldn't die of low temperature.
Soon the miracle took place. Su Xiaolong's temperature kept going down, from high as 39 degrees to around 20 degrees.
The normal temperature of human beings was constant because the body knew how to adjust it. Even in extremely cold conditions, body temperature remains constant. It was unbelievable that Su Xiaolong's temperature jumped down to 20 more degrees so soon.
As his body temperature decreased and dropped lower than the range in which the parasites survive, the parasites began to die fast. Some of the tough ones might have survived, but they were trying their best to get out of the cold host body.
Those parasites eventually gathered and lined into a white string, worming out of Su Xiaolong's nostrils, but the temperature outside was even lower than the body. They dropped into ice water as soon as they went out, and died immediately.
This situation lasted for half an hour. Qin Haodong kept transferring Green Wood Genuine Qi into Su Xiaolong to maintain his life. At last, he felt the pause again to make sure that all parasites were dead. Then he let Saber and Sword take him out of the tub and put him on the bed.
At the moment, Su Xiaolong's lips were already black and his breath was faint. His body was cold as ice and he felt much like a dead man.
The couple asked nervously, ”Doctor Qin, is Xiaolong OK?”
Qin Haodong said, ”All the parasites had been eliminated, and he's on his way to recover. He'll be fine soon.”
Now Gao Fengwen respected Qin Haodong's medical skills even more. He asked, ”Medical Sage, those parasites had been expelled out, but what about the damages on his organs that have already been done? How would that recover?”
”The best way to repair the injured organ is the Rejuvenative Acupuncture.”
Qin Haodong said as he took out the needle bag and helped Su Xiaolong repair the damaged internal organs with the Rejuvenative Acupuncture.
Ten more minutes later, he took back his needles and put his right hand on Su Xiaolong's Dantian, then he expelled all the residue cold Qi inside him with Green Wood Genuine Qi.
”Okay, get up!”
Qin Haodong said as he patted on Su Xiaolong's chest.
In the expecting eyes of all the people around, Su Xiaolong sat on the bed quickly, and his pale face had turned rosy.
