Chapter 175 Death Acupuncture Points
Fang Liu leaned against Mo Yu’s chest and felt at ease. “Trust me. I will do my best to cure Old Man Gong.” The following day, the hospital assistants moved Old Man Gong to the operating room as requested. Fang Liu put on her protective gear, and just as she pushed the door open, Cui Mao called out to her. Cui Mao wanted to say something but hesitated. “Fang Liu, you…”
‘Old Man Gong was a hopeless case. Why does Fang Liu want to try so hard to save him? Is she doing all this just for ten million yuan?’
Cui Mao thought it was ridiculous when Big Gong told him that Fang Liu was willing to operate on Old Man Gong. ‘How could Fang Liu be short of money? Mo Yu is never short of money.’
Fang Liu smiled comfortingly at Cui Mao when she saw his doubtful expression. Cui Mao could only watch worriedly as Fang Liu walked into the operating room.
The doctors present were already muttering among themselves. They felt that Fang Liu was just trying to show off when she insisted on trying to cure the older gentleman. The doctors wondered how Fang Liu would save a person on the brink of death.
The doctors were unhappy when they found out Fang Liu had skipped two levels and quickly became a senior doctor. They thought that Fang Liu had no outstanding talents and knew that she didn’t have any medical experience.
The older doctors were even more unconvinced and showed disdain toward Fang Liu. They were all just waiting to watch Fang Liu fail.
Fang Liu walked into the operating room, closed the door, and ignored the doctors’ doubtful gazes. Then she walked through the door’s curtains and went to the inner room. Fang Liu saw Old Man Gong, doused in medicine.
Old Man Gong’s complexion had worsened. Almost every part of his body was already infected with his sickness. At this moment, Old Man Gong’s eyes narrowed, and his buck teeth were showing. Old Man Gong was so thin that his bones started to protrude.
Fang Liu stood before Old Man Gong. “Do you remember me, Old Man Gong? I was the doctor who consulted you the other day,” Fang Liu said as she smiled. “I never thought that I’d be the one to treat you in the end.”
Old Man Gong opened his mouth and muttered something hoarsely, but Fang Liu couldn’t understand him. Fang Liu only saw Old Man Gong looking at her with despair in his eyes as if he was begging for death.
It was as though Old Man Gong was taking one last look at the world around him before dying. Old Man Gong truly believed that he would die today.
Nonetheless, the older gentleman didn’t want Fang Liu to treat him. He was afraid that Fang Liu would try to prolong his suffering. Old Man Gong didn’t want to live a life of suffering and begged Fang Liu to end his misery. Fang Liu looked at Old Man Gong’s pleading eyes and sighed. Then she pressed a button on the room wall, and the lights began to dim.
There were some anesthetics in the medicine that Old Man Gong was soaked in. Soon, the older gentleman felt his body becoming heavier and heavier until he lost consciousness entirely.
Fang Liu took out more than ten silver needles of different thicknesses from the operating tray and put them into different test tubes. Various liquids filled the test tubes and soaked the needles. After Fang Liu applied some heat to the test tubes, the liquids started to boil.
About five minutes later, Fang Liu took out the silver needles and walked to Old Man Gong’s side. She inserted the needles into the older gentleman’s acupuncture points one at a time.
Acupuncture points were subcutaneous electric fields with the highest potential shared by humans and animals. These points were located in the central nerve vessels, where nerve endings passed through. If these areas were damaged, it would cause various abnormalities in the human body.
There were seven hundred and twenty known acupoints in traditional Chinese medicine. Each acupoint had magical characteristics and several wonderful uses.
Fang Liu’s method of acupuncture was known as Death Acupuncture Therapy. There were thirty-six lethal acupoints in the human body. Generally speaking, one would do their best to avoid using these thirty-six acupoints for treatment.
But Old Man Gong’s case was an exception. Fang Liu could use Old Man Gong’s death acupoints because the older gentleman was already on the brink of death. A dying person’s Qi and blood flow differed from ordinary people’s. Most living acupoints would lose their therapeutic effects and were even stiff when one was close to dying. But at this time, Old Man Gong’s dead acupoints were still maintaining their last bit of activity.
Fang Liu had read about this method from an ancient book. However, no one knew whether or not this method would be feasible, even until this day.
Fang Liu became curious after reading about this method. She researched a lot of information and understood the characteristics of every acupoint in the human body. Fang Liu also knew the correlation they had with other acupoints.
Fang Liu made sense of the acupoints in her mind and recited them repeatedly. She finally understood the principle of this method after a long while.
This treatment method would block all of Old Man Gong’s senses and bring him to a state of suspended animation. Then it would assist with other treatments done to Old Man Gong’s body. It was indeed a unique and shocking medical treatment method.
