Chapter 388: Can You Cure It?
Before his words had even faded, Chen Yu tapped his right hand on Jun Jun's hand, and the bleeding stopped instantly.
Wu Zheng's voice came to an abrupt halt; his complexion looked as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.
The couple looked at each other, their faces full of shock; one had to know that their son's illness was extremely peculiar—usually, even a small scratch would cause him to bleed uncontrollably, and it was incredibly difficult to heal.
But Chen Yu had stopped the bleeding with just a few casual taps; it seemed Chen Yu possessed genuine talent and learning. Their confidence in Chen Yu increased instantly.
"Doctor Wu, what are you doing?" Just then, a middle-aged man who looked like a leader walked out of the laboratory building on the side with a group of people.
This was Liu Zhangxing, the director of the Medical Research Center and a nationally renowned expert in Western Medicine.
Accompanying him was a female reporter, Zhou Qian; she had come to conduct an in-depth interview with the branch of the China Medical Research Center.
"Director Liu, this child has a peculiar condition. He has no money to stay in the hospital and wants to leave, but this charlatan is blocking them, saying he can cure him. I was just about to stop them." Wu Zheng's eyes darted around, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Let him go quickly. If he messes up the treatment, he will definitely blame our hospital."
"Wu Zheng, do you really have no intention of acting like a human being?" Chen Yu observed the color of the blood and glanced up at Wu Zheng.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Can your amateur tricks cure this kind of blood disease? Don't blame our Medical Research Center if you cause a death." Wu Zheng said angrily.
"Director, this child was admitted by me and Doctor Wu. It is a very peculiar blood disease; unless he gets a bone marrow transplant, there is no way," a doctor said to Liu Zhangxing.
"I understand." Liu Zhangxing nodded: "Young man, practicing medicine is not child's play. If you aren't capable, don't force it."
"Director Liu, don't worry. Even if the big brother treats me to death, I won't blame your hospital." Jun Jun spoke with a firm tone.
"You little brat, what kind of attitude is that? This is our Dean Liu." Wu Zheng said angrily.
"I'm sorry, Director Liu. The child is young and doesn't know any better, but we really can't scrape together the 500,000 fee, so we can only ask this little brother to try." The couple apologized hurriedly.
"Desperate people seek any doctor." Liu Zhangxing frowned: "Have you thought about what will happen if your condition worsens because of someone's blind treatment?"
"Don't worry, Director Liu, I have a sense of proportion." Chen Yu observed the color of Jun Jun's blood and already had a plan in mind.
He put away his Silver Needle and said: "Big brother, big sister, I have examined the child's condition; it belongs to a blood-injury type of blood disease."
"What caused this?" the couple asked nervously.
"It is mainly a disorder of the Du, Ren, and Chong meridians. Among the Extraordinary Meridians of the human body, these three are closely related to blood."
"The Du and Ren meridians are the master framework of yin and yang for a person, while the Chong meridian assists the Ren meridian. They converge with the Twelve Meridians to regulate the generation and circulation of blood throughout the body, which is why it is called the 'Chong is the Sea of Blood.' A disorder of these three meridians leads to blood damage, which is what caused the child's condition."
"What a load of nonsense. Who can understand that?" Wu Zheng laughed: "Director, can you understand it?"
"I don't understand Traditional Chinese Medicine, so I don't understand it." Liu Zhangxing also shook his head: "Young man, I repeat: practicing medicine is not child's play."
"Little brother, do you have a way then?" The couple naturally couldn't understand either, but they still asked, holding onto hope.
"It's too simple." Chen Yu shook his head helplessly and said: "Traditional Chinese Medicine has methods of 'using form to nourish form' and 'using blood to nourish blood.' To cure this kind of illness, there is no need to take medicine at all; dietary therapy can cure it."
"Dietary therapy?" The couple was stunned.
Zhou Qian, who was on the side, was even more interested; she looked at Chen Yu with curiosity.
"Yes, the healing methods of Huaxia Traditional Chinese Medicine are profound. Using organs to nourish organs—animal viscera, blood, bone marrow, etc., can nourish the organs and treat deficiency. Using color to nourish blood—red foods nourish blood, and black foods stop bleeding."
"In this situation, eating more pig blood or red foods, such as carrots, red dates, goji berries, and the like, supplemented with a few Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs that regulate and nourish blood, can effectively control it."
"A pack of lies! An illness that 300,000 couldn't improve can be cured by eating some ordinary things? Chen Yu, are you alright? Right, since your claims can't be verified anyway, you can just spout nonsense." Wu Zheng sneered.
"Indeed, I have never heard of this kind of theory before." Liu Zhangxing also furrowed his brows.
"Of course, this method is slow to take effect. If you prescribe the right medicine for the symptoms, taking some medicine will show immediate results." Chen Yu smiled. He pointed to the Tianyun Medicine Store, a shop with the Xinglinju brand across the street: "Go to that pharmacy, buy a box of 'Blood Nourishing Pill' and take it; it will take effect very soon."
"Alright, alright, I'll go right away." The man ran over hurriedly, and a moment later, he came back with a box of medicine.
"Little brother, this medicine is only three yuan a box. Is it really effective?" the man asked with some doubt.
"There are ten pills in a box, thirty cents per pill. Have him take it. If it doesn't work in five minutes, I will kneel and apologize to you." Chen Yu said.
"Hahaha, this is really killing me with laughter. An illness that 300,000 couldn't cure can be cured by a pill that costs thirty cents." Wu Zheng laughed loudly: "Has everyone ever heard of such a thing?"
"I certainly haven't. Could you be a bit more serious when trying to scam people?"
"Exactly. Trying to scam people inside our Medical Research Center? Do you not know what kind of talented people we have here?"
"It's not that Traditional Chinese Medicine is useless, but its reputation has been ruined by these kinds of people." The group of people behind Director Liu expressed their disdain one after another.
"Chen Yu, do you see? The people in our Medical Research Center are all high-level talents in the field of medicine. Do you think you can compare with us high-level talents? What is your educational background?"
"I only have a junior college degree, so I certainly can't compare to you, but I can cure his illness. Can you?" Chen Yu said calmly.
"Cure it first, then talk. Five minutes, right? I'll give you half an hour. Make him get better." Wu Zheng sneered.
"Jun Jun, take it." The man gritted his teeth, took out a Blood Nourishing Pill, and gave it to Jun Jun to take.
After taking it, the couple waited on the side, full of agitation. Five minutes later, Jun Jun suddenly raised his head and said: "Mom, Dad, I feel like my body has changed."
"What kind of change?" the couple asked nervously.
"It's a bit hot, and my heart is beating violently. The blood in my body feels like it's boiling," Jun Jun said.
"Little brother, this... won't there be any problems, right?" the couple asked.
"Have the emergency room prepare. If there is a problem, go to rescue him immediately," Liu Zhangxing instructed.
"Chen Yu, you let the patient take medicine indiscriminately. What will you do if a life is lost?" Wu Zheng said disdainfully.
"Jun Jun, come, try to stand up and walk a few steps." Chen Yu stretched out his hands: "Follow my posture; this will help you keep your balance."
"Doctor Chen, Jun Jun has been paralyzed for half a year. He is too ill; how could he possibly stand up and walk?" the woman asked in shock.
"It's fine, listen to me." Chen Yu encouraged: "You are a genius; believe that you can do it."
"I'll try." Jun Jun gritted his teeth, then stretched out his arms and exerted a little force.
His body swayed, and then, to the shocked expressions of everyone, he stood up.
Then he swayed as he took a step forward. Although his body was weak and he wobbled with every step he took, his actions had already left his parents too shocked to speak.
