Chapter 113: Healing the Disabled Leg
Ning Jiaxin listened to Long Chengyu's words, and there was a rare smile of expectation on her face. She and her brother Ning Nanjun both died when they were young, and they all grew up with their uncle and uncle.
Although the uncle and aunt seem to have changed now, because of the old relationship in the past, Ning Jiaxin does not hate her uncle and aunt in her heart.
But for this uncle, Ning Jiaxin has always had a sense of guilt. When the uncle was young, no one wanted to marry him because he had to take care of Ning Jiaxin's brother. Now that she is old and has been crippled, the evening scene is so bleak, Ning Jiaxin is even more guilty.
"Yes, I have seven layers of certainty that your left foot can barely walk. However, this may take several sessions and will take a long time. It can be as little as two or three months, or as much as two or three years. Long Chengyu said.
"It's going to take so long?" Ning Zhengwen's expression immediately darkened when he heard this. For such a long time, not to mention that Ning Jiaxin and Long Chengyu didn't have the kung fu to accompany them here for treatment all the time, even if they had time, the cost would definitely be an astronomical amount.
"Don't care about the length of time, you can treat it according to your method, and as for other problems, we will slowly figure out a way. Ning Jiaxin knew her uncle's concerns, but thinking that her uncle's feet had hope of recovery, she felt that any difficulties could be overcome.
"Okay, let's get started. Long Chengyu fully understood Ning Jiaxin's mood, and immediately nodded and said. Because he had heard Ning Jiaxin talk about Ning Zhengwen's situation, Long Chengyu came over and brought a lot of medicines and equipment that were expected to be used.
Long Chengyu asked Ning Jiaxin to the side to help disinfect the silver needle. He himself first fed Ning Zhengwen a pill to replenish blood qi and speed up blood circulation, and then helped Ning Zhengwen push his trouser legs to the top of his thighs, and brought water to help him wipe them clean.
Then she pressed on his legs and feet. Ning Zhengwen's entire left foot, from the root of the foot to the root of the leg, was almost necrotic, and he had no feeling at all, no matter how Long Chengyu pressed it, he didn't feel it at all.
However, this was also expected by Long Chengyu, and he slapped it for a while, and when the skin on the surface of Ning Zhengwen's legs and feet was slightly flushed, Long Chengyu took the silver needle that had been sterilized in Ning Jiaxin's hand.
Ning Zhengwen is now blocked by the meridians on his feet and legs, and the muscles are atrophiing in many places, it is quite troublesome to treat, he needs to acupuncture many times, and he uses far more needles than before, Ning Jiaxin is tired and sweating in order to disinfect so many silver needles.
Since he was reincarnated for such a long time, after many times of acupuncture, Long Chengyu's current needle pricking technique is very close to the previous level, and the needle is stable and accurate.
Even so, after piercing a handful of silver needles, beads of sweat dripped from Long Chengyu's forehead. It doesn't take much force to stick the needle, though. However, it is necessary to be very precise in identifying acupoints and pricking needles, and it is also very energy-consuming to pierce so many needles in one go.
Ning Jiaxin looked at her uncle's left foot that was pierced like a hedgehog, both nervous and distressed. However, Ning Zhengwen was still relatively calm, although he had pricked so many needles, he didn't feel any pain at all. He didn't know whether it should be attributed to Long Chengyu's medical skills, or he sighed that he had no sensation in this foot.
"How is it, do you want to take a break?" Ning Jiaxin on the side asked with concern. She was nervous about her uncle's injury, and worried that Long Chengyu was too tired.
"I don't have time to rest, he's worse than ever, and I have to continue twisting the needles after the needles. Long Chengyu said, and slowly twisted the silver needle from the first one in the order of the needle just now.
Ning Jiaxin knew that she couldn't help, so she could only be in a hurry. Seeing that the beads of sweat on Long Chengyu's forehead were getting more and more, Ning Jiaxin couldn't help but take out her handkerchief to help Long Chengyu wipe it.
The excessive beads of sweat did affect his vision, and Long Chengyu did not stop Ning Jiaxin from helping him wipe his sweat. Ning Zhengwen, as a bystander, seemed to see something from the actions of the two, but he didn't say anything.
The sky gradually darkened, fortunately, there was a lamp installed in the temple, but it was only ten watts, and the light was not strong, but fortunately, Long Chengyu's eyesight was far from being very human, and it did not affect acupuncture.
When Long Chengyu twisted the last few needles, Ning Zhengwen noticed that his left leg actually felt a little numb. At first, he thought it was his own illusion, but it wasn't until Long Chengyu finished twisting the last silver needle that the numbness felt more obvious, and Ning Zhengwen was sure that it was not an illusion.
"Hey, my feet seem to be reacting a little, and just now I felt a tingling sensation. Ning Zhengwen said in surprise.
"Really! that's great!" Ning Jia was also overjoyed when he heard this, because Long Chengyu said before that the first step was to restore Ning Zhengwen's meridian bloodline, since his uncle now felt it, it meant that the meridians had recovered hopefully.
"Uncle, are you sure, it won't be your delusion!"
"It's not an illusion, I felt it twice, it's very short, but it's a real feeling, it's definitely not an illusion! I haven't felt my left leg for a long time. Ning Zhengwen said affirmatively.
"It's a good start. However, just now it should only be the initial reaction of the meridians under the stimulation of acupuncture, and it is still far from recovery. Long Chengyu also interjected.
"Either way, it's the first step towards success. Uncle, you always believe in Long Chengyu's ability now, right?" Ning Jiaxin said.
"Believed, of course I did. It was the first time in nearly two years that I felt the presence of my left leg, even if it was just a slight tingling. Ning Zhengwen said excitedly.
After this busy work, everyone remembered that it was early for dinner. Ning Zhengwen still has a few bowls of rice left in the rice bowl here, but there are no dishes, only a few bags of pickles sent by others.
Fortunately, Ning Jiaxin and Long Chengyu expected it and bought meat, braised vegetables and some side dishes on the way. In order to be afraid of not having dishes and chopsticks, I even bought a large handful of disposable dishes and chopsticks.
Under the command of Ning Zhengwen, Ning Jiaxin was busy for a while, and a simple dinner was ready. Although the dishes were simple, the three of them gathered around the table and ate deliciously.
Ning Jiaxin kept giving Ning Zhengwen vegetables. She knew what kind of life her uncle had before, and this time, she wanted to do something good, give him a tooth sacrifice, and replenish his body.
"Don't patronize me, give some food to the dragon school doctor, you young people, you should eat something good." Ning Zhengwen stopped Ning Jiaxin's chopsticks, pointed at Long Chengyu and said.
"He's still young, eat a little less, just lose weight. Besides, what he really wants to eat, most of them are bought in the city, unlike you, uncle, hey, it's all our brothers and sisters, and you're tired. Ning Jiaxin said, and her eyes couldn't help but turn a little red.
"Look at you, it's here again. What does the family say? It's all fate, Uncle Ke has never blamed you and the Southern Army. And you don't have to remember Uncle too much. Actually, I'm getting by now, at least I'm not starving. Ning Zhengwen comforted Ning Jiaxin and said.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Long Chengyu knew that the dilapidated temple where Ning Zhengwen lived was driven out of the house by his younger brother Ning Zhengwu after Ning Zhengwen was kicked out of the house by his younger brother Ning Zhengwu, and the Bashang Village Village Committee couldn't look at it and gave alms to Ning Zhengwen to live in.
In addition, at the instigation and insistence of Ning Mingqiang and others, the village department also applied for a subsistence allowance for Ning Zhengwen, handled a disability certificate, and had a little living allowance every month. Coupled with the help of some kind-hearted villagers in the village, Ning Zhengwen was able to barely make ends meet and not starve to death.
From the way here, in Ning Jiaxin's words, Long Chengyu knew that Ning Jiaxin was soft-hearted, and he was not full of hatred for his uncle's family because his uncle Ning Zhengwu had usurped the pension of Ning Nanjun.
On the contrary, Ning Jiaxin also talked about how good her uncle and her brother were in the past several times, but she didn't expect that after her brother's death, her uncle and aunt seemed to have changed as a person, and even after Ning Zhengwu was disabled, she did such a ruthless thing as driving Ning Zhengwu out of the house.
What Long Chengyu didn't expect was that in addition to Ning Jiaxin's soft-heartedness, Ning Zhengwen, the client, did not complain too much about his brother's behavior.
Long Chengyu didn't know if Ning Zhengwen was really too soft-hearted, or if he didn't want to talk about their Ning family's ugliness in front of an outsider like himself.
According to Long Chengyu's speculation, Ning Nanjun's uncle used to be good to Ning Nanjun's brothers and sisters, but he was afraid that he was looking forward to the two brothers. Later, when something happened to the Ningnan army, they saw that the situation was not good, and they were greedy for pensions, which exposed their true nature.
No matter what, Long Chengyu was very disdainful of that Ning Noon. He decided to find an opportunity to help Ningnan Junzhi and govern the greedy rural couple.
The three of them ate and talked without saying a word. When he was about to finish eating, a flashlight suddenly lit up outside the temple gate, and he soon came to the open space in front of the temple gate.
The temple is relatively remote, and few people usually come, let alone at night, when the three of them were feeling strange, a deliberately loud soprano sounded outside the temple gate: "Yo, the fat aunt said that I still don't believe it, now it seems that our Jiaxin really caught a golden beetle son-in-law and came back!"
Hearing this voice, Ning Jiaxin and Ning Zhengwen's expressions were stunned, and they put down the dishes and chopsticks almost at the same time, and they seemed to have no appetite for a while. Long Chengyu guessed that it was Ning Jiaxin's aunt who spoke.
"I said Jiaxin, anyway, your aunt and I also had a part in pulling you and the Southern Army together, and now that you are married to the right person, you have to think about honoring me and your aunt. Another man's voice spoke outside the temple. After listening to this man's words, Long Chengyu finally determined that the two people who were talking outside were Ning Jiaxin's greedy uncle and aunt.
"Uncle and aunt, what nonsense are you talking about. This is the doctor I invited to treat my uncle!" Ning Jiaxin hurriedly ran to the temple gate to explain.
