Fang Xu declined the kindness of Shuai Ke and the others to accompany him, saying that it would be good for him to go to Yun Ruoruo alone to discuss, and finally went out in Yang Le's deep confusion and uneasiness.

Using the 'beautiful man trick' on his girlfriend, along the way, Fang Xu laughed every time he thought about it, forget it, wait until Ruoruo goes home at night, and then ask her to agree to this. Fang Xu thought so in his heart, and slowly returned to his residence.

As soon as I took a book from the bookshelf and read a few pages, the phone in the living room rang, Fang Xu followed the sound but saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and he was surprised, because only a few people knew about this call, could it be that he had made a mistake, Fang Xu thought in his heart, and picked up the phone casually.

"Hey, hello, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, it's classmate Fang. ”

Listening to the voice was a middle-aged man, his voice was hoarse, and his tone was gentle, Fang Xu felt very strange when he heard it, and said in surprise: "I'm Fang Xu." You are ---?"

The other party chuckled lightly and said, "We met at Ji Lao's pharmacy. Elder Chu instructed me to come and invite me to discuss something. Do you have time now? I guess I'm not busy, I'll wait downstairs, how about you go with me?"

It turned out to be one of the three people who asked for his help in Jiren Pharmacy that day, and Fang Xu suddenly felt in his heart. Just listening to the other party's tone, it seemed that he knew a lot about his whereabouts, obviously he had put a lot of effort into himself, and the tone of his speech was quite domineering, as if the master was commanding his subordinates, Fang Xu was slightly unhappy in his heart, but it was inconvenient to attack Ji Lao's face, and said with a light smile: "Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll go with you, you wait." ”

As he spoke, Fang Xu cleaned up the house slightly, locked the door and went out.

When I went downstairs, I saw that the stout middle-aged man was standing downstairs that day, and when he saw Fang Xu appearing, he was full of smiles, and he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake Fang Xu.

Fang Xu saw that he was condescending and respectful, and he was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't care, and he also stretched out his hand at the moment. After holding his hands firmly, Fang Xu realized that something was wrong.

This person's hands are thick, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the feel is very bad, but what is terrible is that there is a strong force attached to it, and under the grip of both hands, it is like an iron hoop tightly clamping Fang Xu's right hand.

Speaking of which, Fang Xu's martial arts are not afraid, but he also knows that people are deliberately tempting, and he also pretends to be Dao at the moment, gritting his teeth, and fighting back hard, for a while, the two of them are similar in strength, and they are fighting equally.

When the middle-aged man shook hands with Fang Xu, he had been carefully observing Fang Xu's facial expressions, and saw that his face was calm, but his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his facial muscles twitched slightly. And although the strength on Fang Xu's hand was also surprisingly large, he couldn't detect any signs of the existence of true qi, and under too much force, the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed, and it seemed that his physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

The man put his mind at ease at the moment, he smiled, and with the laughter, the strong force in his hand also disappeared, and with a slight shake of his hand, his palm escaped from Fang Xu's hand with a slippery palm.

The man smiled: "Classmate Fang is so strong, I admire and admire." The words are so, but there is no trace of admiration in that expression except for the hidden sarcasm.

Fang Xu secretly sneered in his heart, but he just wanted to do a full set of acts, he let out a long breath at the moment, slowly withdrew his right hand and put it on the side of his leg, and shook it lightly as if it was unbearable pain, with a sneer on his face, without words.

The man watched his actions and demeanor coldly, and in his heart he was even more convinced that what he thought was not bad. Seeing Fang Xu's displeasure, he hurriedly laughed and accosted: "Classmate Fang has such a good physical fitness, it's a pity not to practice martial arts." ”

Fang Xu knew what he meant, but he pretended to be puzzled, and pretended to be stupid and said, "Martial arts? What I practiced in school was Sanda." Isn't that martial art?"

The man suddenly realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly laughed, and looked at him left and right, "Introduce yourself, my name is Dugu Aoshen." Ancestral home in Hunan. ”

As he spoke, Dugu Aoshen turned his wrist and looked at his watch, showing a trace of nervousness on his face, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, classmate Fang, let's not delay any longer, let's go." ”

Fang Xuxin said that this delay was all because of you, and you cherish your time now. I just thought about it in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face, and nodded with a light smile.

The two walked out of the community and stopped a taxi on the road, Dugu Aoshen instructed the driver a few words, and the driver drove the car and drove the two away.

About half an hour later, the two of them came to a double-storey villa-style house in the eastern suburbs of the city, Dugu Aoshen instructed the driver to wait outside, and hurriedly pulled Fang Xu into the house, looking quite hasty.

When the two entered the living room, they saw that the old man and another short, fat and long-haired man had been waiting for a long time, and the old man was sitting on the sofa, staring and pondering. The short and fat man stood behind him with his hands tied, and his demeanor was respectful.

Hearing Fang Xu and the two come in, the old man opened his eyes and bowed slightly towards Fang Xu, the short and fat man hurriedly beckoned Fang Xu to sit down, served a cup of tea, bowed slightly to the old man, and then stood side by side with the short and fat man behind the old man.

Dugu Aoshen and Fang Xu spoke in a rather arrogant tone, at best, it can be called heroic, but after seeing the old man, his expression was restrained, and he didn't dare to breathe, Fang Xu looked at it in his eyes, and he was secretly strange in his heart, and he was more and more convinced that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person, and Ji Lao also said that the old man's surname was Chu, maybe his guess was right, he was the leader of the alliance, Chu Naturally.

The old man spoke, "How has Xiao Xu been doing in the past few days?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Xu didn't know what was going on, the two behind the old man were stunned, and they glanced at each other, but they both saw the stunned and surprised expressions on each other's faces.

"Very good, thank you for your concern. Fang Xu bowed slightly, said respectfully, and then said tentatively, "I just don't know why the old gentleman invited me to come this time?

The old man nodded and said, "Not bad." I was going to invite you this weekend, but I'm bothering you this time---。 ”

Before the old man finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, Fang Xu comprehended, and hurriedly said: "We can wait, but the patient can't wait, this treatment is like fighting a fire, it's better to hurry up." The old gentleman has something to do, but please command, this is my honor, why bother. ”

The old man was originally a person who had been in a high position for a long time, and he had always been a man of his word, and he told Fang Xu that he would invite him over the weekend, and he would definitely not delay his studies. But this invitation, things were rushed and contrary to their promises, and I was a little confused in my heart.

Speaking of which, this kind of small thing must be ignored by ordinary people, and it is impossible to pull down the face and apologize in person, and it is enough to show one or two in words. But the old man has a very good face, and he takes these little things very seriously, but with his temperament and status, he naturally refuses to apologize, so Fang Xu just gave him a step when he said this. For Fang Xu's understanding, the old man felt very comfortable in his heart, and said with a long smile: "You kid is really cute." If only my grandson could catch up with you by half. Well, without further ado, let's hurry up. ”

Fang Xu nodded yes, the four of them went out at the moment, got into the car, the three old men sat in the back row, Fang Xu sat in the passenger seat, and the destination was the First People's Hospital of CZ.

On the way, the old man suddenly asked: "Xiao Xu, when Aoshen went to invite you, was there anything excessive in his speech and demeanor? Aoshen is a rough person, if you offend, I hope to forgive you one or two." ”

The old man's tone was flat, but Fang Xu noticed that with the question, Dugu Proud God's momentum suddenly stagnated, and Fang Xu didn't need to look back to feel the eagerness in Dugu's burning eyes looking at him, 'Could it be that Dugu Proud God tested whether he could martial arts, not out of the old man's instructions. Fang Xu was suspicious in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "The old gentleman is serious, although Mr. Dugu's appearance is a little rougher, but his speech and demeanor are very elegant, and we talked very happily along the way." ”

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed on the old man's face, and he glanced sideways at Dugu, who was sitting on his right hand and was covered with cold sweat, withdrew his gaze, nodded slowly, and said, "That's good." ”

During the conversation, he had already arrived at the hospital, and Dugu Aoshen led the way.

In the middle of the road, the old man suddenly said: "Xiao Xu, do you know anything about vegetative people?"

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said: "In medicine, people who have heartbeat, breathing, secretion and excretion, but cannot think, are collectively called vegetative people, and the common causes of 'vegetative people' are brain trauma, cerebrovascular diseases, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.; Caused by incomplete damage to the thalamus and cerebral cortex, the brainstem reticulum acts as the switch of an electric light, which is the first checkpoint of the human sensory system, so whether a person sleeps or wakes up is mainly determined by it. ”

At the end, Fang Xu looked at the old man and said suspiciously: "Old man, could it be that we came to treat a vegetative person this time?"

The old man smiled, Fang Xu's heart moved when he saw this, and he remembered what Liu Jia had said a few days ago, "It's not that I'm here to treat Che Yuli, if that's the case, it's too coincidental." ’

As they spoke, they were led to the intensive care unit by the nurse, and when they came to a private room, the nurse knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in. ”

The nurse pushed the door in, and Fang Xu and the others walked in.

Fang Xu stared at it, and there was a young man lying on the hospital bed in the center of the room, described as withered, his face was like dead ashes, his eyes were slightly open, and he occasionally turned around.

Fang Xu chuckled in his heart, the appearance of the man on the bed had obviously changed a lot, but it was vaguely recognizable that it was Che Yuli.

There was a man and a woman sitting next to the bed, brightly dressed, the man was forty or fifty years old, and the woman was a ********, it was Che Jinming and Gao Lingshan who heard that someone came in, turned their heads to look, and saw that it was the old man, and their faces were full of joy, and they got up to greet them in a hurry.

Che Jinming beckoned a few people to sit down, Gao Lingshan was also busy serving tea and pouring water, Che Jinming sat opposite a few people, looking at Fang Xu's eyes with a hint of surprise, and said to the old man in surprise: "Old Chu, is this the Chinese medicine master you mentioned?" Che Jinming's face was still respectful, but his eyes were full of doubts. According to his understanding, most of the famous Chinese medicine experts are dying of old age, and the older they are, the higher their achievements are, but the old man brings such a half-sized child, no wonder he is surprised.

The old man said lightly: "I went to Brother Ji according to what you said, Brother Ji pushed Xiao Xu to me, I have seen Xiao Xu's medical skills, and he is definitely a famous master, and Brother Ji said that Xiao Xu is proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion, and he is the best candidate to treat Ling Lang." ”

In the face of Che Jinming's doubts and the old man's praise, Fang Xu smiled indifferently, his expression was not arrogant or impatient, and he was extremely free and easy, Che Jinming also believed a little in his eyes, and nodded hurriedly: "I naturally believe in the old man, but this is a matter of Xiaoli's life, so I have to be cautious, Chu Lao is not strange, and this ---, and this gentleman are not strange." ”

Che Jinming said this and looked at Fang Xu, Fang Xu understood in his heart, nodded and smiled lightly: "My name is Fang Xu." ”

When Che Jinming heard this, his face changed slightly for some reason, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice to cover up. Gao Lingshan, who had been silent at this time, suddenly interjected: "Old Chu, do you ---, when will you start healing Xiaoli?" There was a bit of joy in her tone, which showed that she had great expectations for the old man.

The old man smiled and said: "Let's start, but I'll talk about it ahead, and I'm not sure about treating a patient like Ling Lang, but Brother Gao invited me to come out, and I had to make it difficult to make a fool of myself." ”

Gao Lingshan's expression darkened when she heard this, and she was silent, Che Jinming smiled to herself, and said: "Although Old Chu can rest assured, if it doesn't work, it will be Xiaoli's life is not good, and he can't complain about others." ”

The old man nodded and said to Fang Xu, "Xiao Xu, I have already diagnosed the patient's condition. You can diagnose it again. ”

Fang Xu got up in response, came to the bedside and carefully observed Che Yuli, then gently held up Che Yuli's wrist and put his fingers on the vein, and gently put it down after a while, the old man observed his expression, but he couldn't see any mood fluctuations, and asked, "How is it?"

Fang Xu said lightly: "It's a vegetative state caused by traumatic brain injury, when I observed him just now, he could open his eyes and blink, and his eyeballs could also move slightly with the objects in front of him or the surrounding sounds, but all of this should be unconscious." ”

What Fang Xu said Gao Lingshan had also heard some authoritative experts mention, and seeing that what Fang Xu said was appropriate, her heart moved, and she couldn't care about being polite, so she hurriedly asked, "Can it still be cured?"

Gao Lingshan's face was full of complicated emotions of excitement and nervousness, 'Pity the hearts of parents in the world', Fang Xu thought in his heart, sighed slightly, but did not answer, looked at the old man and said, "The old gentleman is going to use the 'stabbing and awakening method' (1) to treat him?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then a satisfied look appeared on his face, and he smiled and said: "Xiao Xu is really smart, yes, I have this intention." ”

Che Jinming was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked: "What does this mean?" During Che Yuli's illness, Che Jinming also traveled to many hospitals, and also saw various treatments such as high cervical spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve electrical stimulation, sound, light, electricity, magnetic stimulation, hyperbaric oxygen, extracorporeal counterpulsation, massage, etc., but he had never heard of this so-called stabbing and awakening method.

Fang Xu saw that the Che couple had a blank look on their faces, and explained with a smile: "This stinging and awakening method is a method of treating vegetative people that has only been developed in recent years, and there are very few people who know it, so it is not surprising that the two of them don't know. It's just that it is said to be more effective, "sting" represents acupuncture, and "movement" means to let the patient's body move. ”

The old man was satisfied when he heard this, and said: "Elder Ji said that you are good at acupuncture, so it is better for you to take the needle, and I will be responsible for the medicine." ”

The old man said to Che Jinming again: "You instruct the hospital to use massage and hyperbaric oxygen to assist in treatment, especially massage, and they must send professional people to carry out the parts according to what I said, and there can be no half-point difference." With such a four-pronged approach, I think Ling Lang has a better chance of recovery. ”

The Che couple were excited when they heard this, and nodded again and again.

The old man smiled and said to Fang Xu: "Xiao Xu, what do you think?"

Fang Xu thought for a while, and replied in a deep voice: "According to what the old gentleman said, it's just that I don't have enough experience in this acupuncture point, and I hope that the old gentleman will give me some guidance." ”

Fang Xu said modestly, the old man sounded even more pleasing to the ear, and laughed: "Xiao Xu is too modest, but this is a major matter of human life, you and I should discuss it." ”

At that moment, the old man and Fang Xu carefully diagnosed and treated Che Yuli, and borrowed Che Yuli's case from the attending doctor to check it again, and the two carefully deliberated for a while before deciding on the medication and dosage, as well as the acupuncture points for the needle.

The old man later added a few strange points, such as Baihui, Fengfu, Tiantu and other acupuncture points, Fang Xu wrote them down one by one, but he had doubts in his heart, according to his understanding, although these acupuncture points are quite important to the human body, they don't seem to have much to do with Che Yuli's condition, but because of the old man's insistence, Fang Xu also agreed, firstly, the old man's medical skills are really good; secondly, the old man seems to have a deep study of vegetative recovery, and the words he said are very convincing.

In the end, the old man agreed with Che Jinming and Fang Xu to treat according to the method provided by the old man. And Fang Xu came to give Che Yuli an injection every other day, and the old man would guide him when he gave the needle for the first time. The time is set between half past three and five in the afternoon, because Fang Xu usually has no classes at this time. Every other week, Fang Xu will re-diagnose and treat the old man, and make appropriate adjustments to the treatment method according to the specific situation.

Fang Xu originally planned to come by bus, but Gao Lingshan considered the inconvenience, so she proposed to drive Fang Xu by herself, anyway, since the accident of the two Che Yuli brothers, she had no intention of working, and handled the internal retreat through the relationship, and took care of Che Yuli in the hospital.

Fang Xu politely refused at first, although Che Jinming didn't say anything, he didn't seem to agree with that look, but Fang Xu couldn't help Gao Lingshan insisted, so he gave up.

After a few people had a light meal together at noon, Fang Xu and his party of four said goodbye to Che Jinming and his wife, and Fang Xu sent the three old men to the bus and took the bus home.

Fang Xu could have chosen to be cured or not, because he was very confident in his own methods, Che Yuli was damaged by his palm at that time, although the treatment method proposed by the old man was good, but the possibility of Che Yuli recovering was estimated to be very slim, but Fang Xu thought about it, if a miracle appeared, Che Yuli regained his senses, and it was a bit troublesome to point out that he was the murderer, it was better to participate in the treatment himself, in case Che Yuli showed signs of recovery, it was better to prepare early. As for what kind of preparation it was, I'm afraid only Fang Xu knew it in his heart.

Speaking of which, Fang Xu was extremely disgusted with Che Yuli, but seeing that he had changed from the beautiful son of the day to the virtue he is today, he felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Maybe it would be better for him to kill Che Yuli in the palm of his hand that day, and he wouldn't have to be so troublesome. Fang Xu was taken aback by the 'vicious' thoughts that he had suddenly come up with.

In fact, things in this world have antecedents and consequences, speaking of which Che Yuli suffered this catastrophe, isn't it caused by his dirty thoughts about Liu Jia? And Fang Xu was pulled to treat Che Yuli today, isn't it also because of the result of his punishment of Che Yuli that day? Speaking of God, it is also very interesting.

Note: (1) The stabbing and awakening method is the first treatment method of the "Vegetative Awakening Center" in China, and it is said that the awakening rate of "vegetative people" is as high as 61.36%.
