Chapter Thirty-One: Salvation and Treatment

  Wang Zhicai walked into the ward and saw his sister Wang Jingyi quietly lying on the bed, receiving a drip, her pale face had no blood color, her lovely eyebrows were tightly furrowed, although she was unconscious, but still enduring great pain.

  Seeing this, Wang Zhi's heart felt a deep pain. After so many years of not seeing her, the little girl was still so lovely and beautiful, but she was now suffering from illness.

  Wang Zhi walked gently to his sister's side, took his sister's pale small hand, and the paper in his right hand lightly touched her wrist. In his heart, he murmured: "Xiao Jing, brother is back, brother has come to see you. No matter how serious your illness is, brother will cure you."

  Wang Zhi listened attentively to his sister's pulse, with an unprecedented seriousness, his entire mind fully immersed in it. Facing his most beloved younger sister, Wang Zhi did not dare to be the slightest bit careless or negligent.

  "What are you doing? Don't you want her life anymore?" Just as Wang Zhi was carefully examining, a discordant voice suddenly came from the doorway.

  Wang Zhi turned his head around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a white coat standing at the door, glaring at everyone.

  "Doctor, don't be angry. This is my son, also a doctor. He's just taking a look at the situation and won't affect anything." Wang Tianyuan hastily said with a smile.

  "Hmm! Haven't I told you? The patient is now in critical condition and cannot be disturbed. Hurry up and handle the formalities, we also need to perform the surgery as soon as possible. If something happens, we won't be responsible." The doctor didn't give Wang Zhi a hard time since he was a family member of the patient, but his words were unpleasant to hear.

  "Got it, I'll go and do it as soon as possible." Wang Tianyuan smiled and responded with a sound, but looked at Wang Zhi, wanting to hear his opinion. At this time, Wang Tianyuan's heart was already in a mess, and he couldn't make up his mind either.

  "Wait a bit." Wang Zhi said softly, turning his head again.

  "What are you waiting for? Are you going to give a clear answer or not? If the surgery is delayed, will you be responsible?" Hearing Wang Zhi's words, he suddenly stopped and shouted loudly.

  "What's all the shouting about? Are you not afraid of disturbing the patient?" Wang Zhi suddenly flared up, turned his head around and said coldly. After finishing speaking, he looked at his sister with some worry, fearing that his loud voice would affect her.

  "You..." A sudden burst of anger, a loud huff, and a swing of the sleeve, he turned and left, leaving behind one sentence: "A bunch of poor devils, if you don't have money just say so, what's with the pretence?"

  Seeing the doctor's attitude, not only was Wang Tianyuan somewhat angry, but also Xu Xiaoran and Lin Xueyan on the side were a bit unbearable. However, considering the current situation, none of them said anything, and Wang Zhi naturally didn't have the mood to care about it either.

  About three minutes later, Wang Zhi gently discovered his sister's wrist, frowning, after a careful examination, Wang Zhi basically confirmed that his sister was suffering from atrial septal defect, also known as congenital heart disease, and the situation at this time was very serious.

  Congenital heart disease is caused by congenital heart malformation, when the atrial septum is defective, blood flows from left to right through the defect. The size of the shunt flow depends on the size of the defect and the pressure difference between the left and right atria. Due to the left-to-right shunt, the right atrium enlarges, the right ventricle hypertrophies, pulmonary circulation increases, and long-term changes lead to vascular obstructive disease, pulmonary artery hypertension, and progressive increase in right ventricular load, eventually leading to right heart failure.

  Jing Yi had no abnormalities since childhood, which led to the Wang family not discovering anything. Now that she is critically ill, it's a relatively rare case. Currently, Western medicine requires surgery as soon as possible, but as a skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Wang Zhi naturally has methods for treatment. However, in someone else's hospital, many medicines are difficult to obtain, and hasty treatment would not be agreed upon by the hospital, which is quite troublesome. Jing Yi's situation cannot be delayed any further.

  After some deliberation, Wang Zhi had only two options. The first was to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible and find a quiet place for treatment, but Wang Zhi couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any accidents during the discharge process. The second option was to temporarily borrow a hospital room, but this would require someone with strong connections to intervene; otherwise, the hospital would absolutely not agree.

  If it were in Jianghuai, it would be easier to handle. With his current relationship with Lin Qiwu, it shouldn't be a problem for him to make an appearance and greet people. However, now that they are in Nanrao, Wang Zhi doesn't know any influential figures, and he's feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

  "Xiao Zhi, how is it?" Wang Tianyuan asked hastily as soon as he saw his son finish the examination.

  "It's indeed a heart disease, and it's already in the late stage, very serious." Wang Zhi sighed softly and said, but his mind was thinking of feasible methods, if not, he would have to resort to forced treatment, regardless of the hospital's attitude.

  "Then let's hurry up and do the formalities, although there is a chance of failure, we have to try. Wang Tianyuan said anxiously: "Moreover, the surgery fee is not enough now, I'll think of another way."

  "Dad, don't worry about it. Since the surgery isn't guaranteed to work, let me try instead. I have confidence in treating Jingyi. However..." Wang Zhi sighed and said: "However, this is someone else's territory after all. If I rashly treat her, there will inevitably be no small amount of trouble."

  "What, you can cure it?" Wang Tianyuan heard Wang Zhi's words and almost thought he had misheard. The current situation is that even the hospital doesn't dare to say they can cure it, but Wang Zhi, although he has some ability, last time at the medical hall Wang Tianyuan also saw him, but saying he can cure this, Wang Tianyuan finds it somewhat hard to believe.

  "Yes, I can cure her." Wang Zhi nodded and said, then thought for a moment: "Okay, Dad, you go ahead and handle the discharge procedures now. Tell them that the surgery fee is not enough, try to delay it for a while. I'll take this opportunity to give Xiao Jing some initial treatment and stabilize her condition. We'll talk about everything else when we get back to Jianghuai."

  "Will this work? Are you sure?" Wang Tianyuan asked with some concern.

  "Dad, Jingyi is my sister, would I joke about her life?" Wang Zhi said seriously: "You just go and do as I say, I'll start now."

  "Uncle, don't worry, Wang Zhi can even cure cancer patients, and our hospital director is very impressed with him. You can rest assured." Lin Xueyan said hastily, seeing that Wang Tianyuan was still a bit worried.

  "Alright, I'll go. Little Zhi, be careful, if you're not sure, say so as soon as possible, or else..." Wang Tianyuan sighed and reminded Wang Zhi once again before heading outside.

  As soon as Wang Tianyuan went out, Wang Zhi ordered: "Xiao Ran, you watch the door outside and don't let anyone come in casually. Xue Yan, close the door and watch inside, notify me immediately if there's any movement."

  At this time, both women knew the situation was urgent and didn't say anything, they quickly went as Wang Zhi said.

  Seeing Xueyan lock the door, Wang Zhicai carefully took out the golden needle from his pocket and carefully undid his sister's clothes. Looking at his sister's pale face, Wang Zhi took a deep breath and gently inserted the golden needle.

  King Zhi first took Neiguan, Sanyinjiao, Taichong and other acupoints to calm the mind and soothe the nerves, stabilize the spirit and calm the heart. Then he took Jimai, Xuehai, Zusanli and other acupoints to calm the mind and nourish the blood, tonify Qi and calm the spirit. Finally, he took Daling, Neiguan, Zhizheng, Taichong and other acupoints to calm the mind and activate blood circulation, transform stasis and regulate Qi and meridians. This time, King Zhi faced his own sister, but didn't dare to hide anything, every needle was used with the utmost skill of Neijia.

  As Wang Zhi's golden needle continued to prick down, Jingyi's face slowly had a hint of redness, and the tightly furrowed eyebrows also began to relax, apparently Wang Zhi's acupuncture had taken effect.

  After pricking these acupoints, Wang Zhi took out another golden needle from the needle bag and also took out a crystal clear small bottle from his bosom. The small bottle was filled with a light red viscous liquid that looked very enticing under the lamp light.

  Wang Zhi gently opened the small bottle and used the tip of a golden needle to lightly touch **, then fiercely stabbed it into Jingyi's Zhongzhui acupoint.

  After the golden needle was inserted, Wang Zhi lightly plucked it, and the golden needle on the Zhongzhui acupoint began to vibrate rapidly. The more he plucked, the faster it vibrated. After about a minute or so, Jingyi, who was lying in bed, suddenly let out a low moan and slowly opened her eyes.
