Chapter 636: District Party Secretary’s condition
Noon.
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+’s apartment.
The lunch was ready, and Madam Yan and w.a.n.g Yuling placed the dishes on the table.
“Xiao Dong, let’s eat together.” Madam Yan said.
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. “No, thank you. I had lunch before I came.”
w.a.n.g Yuling set the table and said. “Have some. I had made the tomato with fried eggs. Try some.”
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ did not invite Dong Xuebing and drank his tea on the sofa.
Dong Xuebing had not eaten earlier, and he is hungry. But he still rejected w.a.n.g Yuling’s offer politely because he knows Madam Yan and w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ do not like him. Madam Yan had offered out of courtesy, and he would cross the line if he joined them for lunch. It’s been five to six minutes since he entered the apartment, and he had said what he wanted. He should be leaving as they are about to have lunch. But he did not. He quickly organizes his words in his head.
Madam Yan turns to her husband. “Old w.a.n.g, lunch is ready.”
“Let me finish my tea first.” w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ rubbed his stomach and seemed to be uncomfortable. “You all eat first.”
w.a.n.g Yuling got worried. “Uncle, let’s go to the hospital and see what they can do.”
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ waved his hand and forced a smile. “I am fine.”
Madam Yan sighed and started eating. But the food had become tasteless.
Appendicitis is very common, and a simple procedure can fix it. But there will be complications if the patient has diabetes. A simple operation might cost the patient’s life. Madam Yan has been worrying about w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+’s condition these few days. Taking medication cannot stop the pain. He is the District Party Secretary and is very busy. His condition will affect his work and promotion chances.
The room is quiet.
Dong Xuebing looked at them and interrupted. “Secretary w.a.n.g, Madam Yan, I have a solution.”
“Oh?” Madam Yan and w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing continued. “Let me try. Maybe I can cure your illness.”
Madam Yan is stunned. “You?”
w.a.n.g Yuling is surprised. “Director, you know how to treat illness?”
Dong Xuebing did not care about being modest and repeated the lies he told Xu Yan. “I had learned traditional healing ma.s.sage from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor for a long time and can be considered a master now. Chinese ma.s.sage treatment ma.s.sages the acupuncture points, and the patient doesn’t need to undergo any operation. This treatment suits Secretary w.a.n.g. Oh, don’t look down on traditional Chinese ma.s.sage. It can stimulate the patient’s immunity and help the body to heal. It is a form of conservative treatment.”
Madam Yan looks at Dong Xuebing. “Are you confident?”
Dong Xuebing was about to reply when w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ interrupted. “Forget it. I am feeling much better compared to a few days ago.”
Dong Xuebing said. “But….”
“Uncle.” w.a.n.g Yuling added. “Let Director Dong try.”
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ stood up. “Let’s have lunch now.”
Dong Xuebing is disappointed and knew w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ doesn’t believe him. When people mention traditional Chinese medicine, their first impression is older doctors are better. No one will think Dong Xuebing is good at his age. Furthermore, what he said sounds like a conman.
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ sat at the dining table and started eating.
Since they didn’t believe him, Dong Xuebing did not stay any longer. “Secretary w.a.n.g, I should not disturb you anymore. Wish you a speedy recovery.”
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ nodded. “Yuling, help me walk Xiao Dong out.”
w.a.n.g Yuling put down her chopsticks and walked over.
The stairwell.
Dong Xuebing smiles. “Alright. Go back and continue with your lunch. You don’t need to come out.”
“Wait. Let me walk you downstairs.”
“It’s alright.”
“Hehe… ok. Drive safely.”
When Dong Xuebing was about to walk down the stairs, and w.a.n.g Yuling was about to return to the apartment, they heard w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+’s groan and Madam Yan’s screams.
“Old w.a.n.g! Are you ok? What’s wrong?”
“Arrrgh .…..”
“Yuling, your Uncle is feeling pain again.”
“Ah…. What should we do?”
“Hurry up and call for an ambulance!”
“Ok…. Ok…. I will call now!”
Dong Xuebing’s face changed, and he quickly rushed back into the apartment. He saw the chair w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ was sitting on earlier had toppled, and he was curled up on the floor. He is trembling and frowning in pain. Beads of sweat are pouring from his forehead. Madam Yan is panicking and trying to help her husband up.
“Madam Yan, let me help you.” Dong Xuebing walked over and carried w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ to the sofa.
w.a.n.g Yuling puts down her phone. “Aunt, I had called for an ambulance, and they are on their way.”
Madam Yan held her husband’s hand. “It was the same the last time. You suffered from the pain the whole night at the hospital. What should we do?”
“Uncle.” w.a.n.g Yuling asked. “How are you feeling?”
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ clenched his teeth and could not reply. He is still sweating profusely.
Dong Xuebing grabbed the painkillers on the table and pa.s.sed them to Madam Yan to feed w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+. But the painkiller’s effects are not immediate, and he is still groaning in pain. Dong Xuebing looked at him and said. “Madam Yan, let me try.”
Madam Yan doesn’t believe Dong Xuebing. “Are you confident?”
“Yes.” Dong Xuebing replied.
w.a.n.g Yuling added. “Aunt, the ambulance is not here yet, and there’s nothing we can do. Let Director Dong try and see if he can relieve Uncle’s pain.”
Madam Yan thought for a second and said. “Alright.”
Dong Xuebing nodded and quickly rolled up his sleeves. He stood in front of the sofa and took a few deep breaths while looking at w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+’s appendix’s position. After that, he ma.s.saged w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+’s waist, back, and thighs acupuncture points. These are all a show for w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ and the rest. After doing the ‘preparatory’ work, he focused on w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+’s appendix area.
Alright.
REVERSE!
The time immediately reversed, and Dong Xuebing’s remaining time started to drop.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seconds.
REVERSE deactivated.
Dong Xuebing pulled back his hands and observed w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+’s face. He knows w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ appendicitis suddenly appeared two days ago, without any obvious symptom before that. That’s why Dong Xuebing reversed his appendix and surrounding area to their conditions four days ago. If the pain and illness started from this area, he should be fine now.
Madam Yan and w.a.n.g Yuling are shocked when they see w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ stop showing signs of pain. He blinked and frowned before sitting up from the sofa. The pain had stopped miraculously.
Madam Yan asked anxiously. “Old w.a.n.g, are you feeling better?”
“Uncle, you…. Are you alright now?” w.a.n.g Yuling is stunned.
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ is puzzled. “I am feeling better now compared to the time before I got this illness. I feel like appendicitis had not happened.”
Madam Yan is ecstatic. “Are you feeling ok now?”
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ stood up and walked around the living room with a smile. “I am alright now.” He turns and looks at Dong Xuebing. “Thank you, Xiao Dong.”
Madam Yan quickly added. “Thank you.”
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ and Madam Yan only saw Dong Xuebing ma.s.saging and pressing on a few acupuncture points earlier, and he recovered after one minute. This is a miracle, and they finally believe Dong Xuebing’s skills.
Dong Xuebing modestly replied. “Don’t mention it. My method can temporarily relieve the pain, and you are not fully recovered. Maybe the pain might act up a few days later. Errr…. You can call me again if the pain returns. I will think of a way to help you.”
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ smiles. “This is good enough. I didn’t have a good night"s sleep these few days.”
w.a.n.g Yuling laughed. “Oh, Director. You are also a miracle doctor.”
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “No…. It’s just a coincidence today that my skills happen to curb Secretary w.a.n.g’s illness.”
The ambulance arrived.
Madam Yan wants her husband to go to the hospital for checks, but he refuses. Since the pain had stopped, he wanted a good meal and sleep. He sent the ambulance and the medics back.
After they left, w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ patted Dong Xuebing’s back. “Come, let’s eat together.”
Dong Xuebing replied modestly. “I shall not bother you anymore. I will go back now since you are feeling better.”
w.a.n.g Ans.h.i.+ ignored Dong Xuebing and told his wife. “Go and prepare two more dishes.”
Madam Yan persuaded. “Xiao Dong, have lunch before you go.”
Dong Xuebing did not reject their offer anymore and sat at the table to have lunch with them.
