Chapter 1405 - 1405 Over Ninety Percent

“Dad, is that you?”

A little girl’s clear voice echoed on the first floor as spacious as the church.

When Fang Qiu heard this voice…

He immediately looked up.

There…

On the left side of the hall was a circular staircase. A woman in her forties was escorting a seven- or eight-year-old girl down the stairs slowly.

The little girl’s eyes were wide open, but she didn’t look toward Zhang Yicheng. Instead, she merely turned her ears to him as if listening to his voice. With both hands, she grabbed the handrails of the spiral staircase. Before she placed her foot on each lower step, she would carefully try a few times to ensure her safety.

The woman in her forties never withdrew her outstretched hands — she had been protecting the little girl without touching her.

“Mom, is Dad back?”

Hearing no response, the little girl stopped and asked with her head tilted.

“Yes.”

The woman said with a smile, “Dad is back.”

“BeiBei.”

Zhang Yicheng called out in time, smiling.

“Daddy.”

When the little girl heard her father’s voice, she immediately crack a smile.

“My daughter, BeiBei.”

Zhang Yicheng introduced her to Fang Qiu.

“Hello.”

As soon as he finished the introduction, the little girl named Beibei smiled and called out to greet him.

“Hi.”

Fang Qiu responded with a smile, then turned to look at Zhang Yicheng and asked, “Is there something wrong with her eyes? Is she completely blind now?”

After his question…

All of a sudden, everyone fell silent.

There seemed a bit of an awkward atmosphere in the air.

“Alas.”

In the silence of awkwardness, Zhang Yicheng gave a wry smile and said, “It’s a congenital deficiency. When Beibei was born, her eyes were found to have atrophied. We had tried our best to help her recover. Though we found the top-notch doctors, the best medical technologies, and top-grade medicines, we failed to keep her vision.”

“Haven’t you taken her to see more doctors over the years?”

Fang Qiu questioned closely.

“Sure.”

Zhang Yicheng nodded and said, “Yes. We’ll go and try it whenever there is a chance. Besides, I’ve been following all the new techniques and drugs. But all our efforts turned out to be useless. Many medical experts said there was no hope to cure her eyes. Even before her optic nerves utterly atrophied, we couldn’t find a way to recover them. There was nothing we could do after all the nerves withered up. It has been eight years. It’s impossible to restore optic nerves that have shrunk for eight years. That is to say, there’s no hope at all!”

At this point…

Zhang Yicheng shook his head and said, “I’ll let the steward take you to your room first.”

“No need.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “Tell me which room it is. I’ll go up by myself later. Let me see Beibei’s eyes first.”

“Don’t bother.”

Zhang Yicheng shook his head and said, “You must be tired after a whole day’s flight. I don’t know when the Murica Medical Association will ask you to go there. You’d better return to your room to sleep off the jet lag first. The current technology can’t cure her illness. I just hope some new technologies will emerge in a few years.”

“Who says it can’t be cured?”

Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile and went straight to the little girl.

At this time…

She had already gone downstairs and stopped at the end of the stairs.

“Beibei.”

Walking to the little girl, Fang Qiu said, “I’m a doctor from Huaxia. Can I have a look at your eyes?”

“Yes.”

Beibei laughed as she replied.

Zhang Yicheng also walked up. He wanted to stop him, yet he didn’t know what to say. Thus, he could only wait aside.

On the other side…

Fang Qiu carefully began to examine Beibei.

In fact…

In Chinese Medicine…

Mainly because of infection, malnutrition, external injuries, drug poisoning, and secondary diseases, there would be disorders in viscera and meridians and the disharmony of Qi and blood. Eventually, all of this caused the optic atrophy.

The viscera essence would go up to nourish the eyes. Besides, viscera inside the body must manifest themselves externally. Some local symptoms about the vision, the sense of sight, the field of vision, and fundus changes would appear. In most cases, other symptoms all over the body would also arise.

Hence, to analyze the patient’s illness condition, general symptoms and the patient’s specific condition should be considered. By thoroughly summarizing and analyzing all the aspects, the doctor could make a judicious judgment about the viscera’s actual condition. On this basis, effective and feasible treatments could be made.

Unlike Western Medicine therapies, Chinese Medicine mainly focused on nursing the illness. It advocated the idea of treatment based on differentiation. In particular, it had almost no side effects!

“Shen Shi Yao Han, a precious book of ophthalmology in ancient times, says: the true essence is transformed from the natural vigor and acquired vigor. It originates from the kidney, flows past the gallbladder, and reaches the pupils.”

While examining her, Fang Qiu explained, “It means that the pupils change along with the rise and fall of the essence. When the essence gets together, the pupils contract. If it scatters, the pupils will dilate.”

“In addition, the Compendium of Medicine also records that the Yin can astringe consciousness. The deficiency of Yin will dilate the pupils.

“That means the pupils will dilate if fire excess or blood gets hot from Yin deficiency. The pupils can’t change flexibly, and the eyesight will fail. In the end, the eyes will be blind.”

Zhang Yicheng heard Fang Qiu’s words.

He was slightly stunned. Quickly, he squatted down. While watching Fang Qiu check up on Beibei, he asked, “Do you really have a way to cure her?”

“We Chinese Medicine doctors in Huaxia never make irresponsible remarks.”

Fang Qiu smiled and said, “I’ve analyzed the situation from two aspects. It could be seen that many things could cause the optic atrophy. Accordingly, the diagnosis and treatment might be different. Nevertheless, it can be confirmed that this illness is directly related to the deficiency of liver and kidney as well as Qi and blood.

“So, in the treatment, we should pay attention to many things like nourishing the liver and kidney, benefiting Qi, and raising Yang. In addition, soothing the liver and resolving depression are equally important. And, remember to nourish the blood and promote blood circulation.”

When Beibei’s mother heard this…

She suddenly hesitated for a moment and asked, “But our daughter was born with this disease. She was just a baby back then. There shouldn’t have been any problem with her liver and kidney at that time, right?”

“The sparrow may be small, but it has all the vital organs.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “No matter how little Beibei was when she was sick, her viscera had already formed. Though she was a baby then, her viscera had begun to grow. Many babies are suffering from lung heat. Since lungs may become hotter, why can’t there be anything wrong with their livers and kidneys?”

His words were very straightforward.

Zhang Yicheng and his wife looked at each other.

There seemed to be hope in their eyes.

“According to the ancients, the liver meridian is responsible for vision, and when the liver receives blood, the lost eyesight can be recovered.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fang Qiu continued, “Because of the liver blood depletion and inadequate kidney essence, the Qi and blood can’t rise. It can bring functional disorders to the viscera and block meridians. When the meridians for eyes are blocked, the viscera essence can’t nourish the eyes. Gradually, blindness occurs, which is also known as optic atrophy.

“This disease is challenging to deal with but not incurable.”

Fang Qiu smiled.

He said, “I’m going to treat Beibei now.”

Afterward…

Fang Qiu took action directly.

While examining Beibei, he had already come up with a treatment plan.

He would perform acupuncture on this little girl!

“What is the treatment success rate?”

Zhang Yicheng asked a little nervously.

“The success rate of this Chinese Medicine treatment is between 64% to 88%.”

Fang Qiu continued, “However, that is the rate without Qi. If I do it with Qi, the success rate will be 90% at least!”

When Zhang Yicheng and his wife heard this number…

They were pleasantly surprised.

The couple was exceedingly excited. However, they didn’t dare to make a sound. They quickly stood beside their daughter and waited for Fang Qiu’s treatment.

“Now, the treatment begins.”

Fang Qiu announced.

He got to work instantly.

He used body acupuncture therapy with acupoints named Xinming 1, Qiuhou, and Fengchi.

The matching acupuncture points were: Xinming 2, Neijingming, Tongziliao, Yiming, Zanzhu, Guangmingng, Baihui, and Ganshu.

He transformed his mental power into needles.

Under his control, Fang Qiu selected one main acupuncture point and two matching acupoints. Then, he began to perform acupuncture.

“Beibei, how do you feel about your eyes? Tell me.”

Fang Qiu asked as he treated her.

“My eyes are a little hot and swollen.”

Beibei answered.

“Do you feel very comfortable?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“Mm.”

Beibei nodded.

“Okay, close your eyes first. You can’t open them until I ask you to, okay?”

Fang Qiu told her.

“Alright.”

Beibei obediently closed her eyes.

Here…

Fang Qiu continued his treatment.

It lasted for more than 20 minutes.

Zhang Yicheng and his wife had been standing next to them. Fang Qiu did it casually and simply as if he were not treating a patient here. Seeing this, they felt a little worried. Thus, they were pretty surprised when they heard their daughter say her eyes became hot and swollen.

They didn’t expect Fang Qiu’s therapy really worked.

When he stimulated the acupuncture points…

By taking the needle transformed from his mental power as a medium, Fang Qiu moved a little trace of internal Qi into her eyes. With acupuncture, the trace could reactivate the atrophied optic nerves.

Thirty minutes passed by.

“Phew…”

After activating her completely withered eye nerves, Fang Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief. He withdrew his hands and said, “Well, Beibei, you can open your eyes now.”

When the little girl heard his words…

She immediately opened her eyes.

However, right after that, she closed them again.

“Take your time. Don’t worry. You haven’t seen the light for a long time. You have to adapt it slowly.”

Fang Qiu smiled and said.

Zhang Yicheng and his wife heard it.

They suddenly opened their eyes wide in astonishment and couldn’t stop smiling. They were so thrilled that they grabbed each other’s hands tightly.

On the other side…

Beibei raised her hands to cover her eyes. Then, she slowly opened them, looking around through the gaps between her fingers.

After observing for some time, she put down her hands and stared blankly at Zhang Yicheng. Then she immediately rushed up to him, put her arms around his waist, and said, “Dad, I saw you. Beibei saw you!”

This time…

Zhang Yicheng and his wife were highly excited.

The Murica medical experts had announced that their daughter’s illness was incurable. However, Fang Qiu cured it in merely half an hour. He didn’t use any medicine or do any surgery, yet the fatal illness was simply cured just like that!

The couple squatted down and hugged Beibei with excitement, shedding tears abundantly.

As they cried, the whole family smiled happily again.

“Is her eyesight temporary or lifetime?”

Zhang Yicheng looked at Fang Qiu with Beibei in his arms and asked.

“Don’t worry. Her eyesight is now just like a normal person’s. I can’t guarantee what will happen to her for the rest of her life, but I can ensure that the optic atrophy will never reappear.”

Fang Qiu said with a smile, “Besides, she has not seen the light for many years. Although her eyes have been cured, she still needs time to stabilize her vision. During this period, you have to take good care of her eyes. Her eyes shouldn’t be exposed to bring light or overused. Then, there will be no problem!”
