Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 867 Did you see her kill someone? Three Stabs and Five Forbidden Steps (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Seeing that the patient had regained consciousness, Fang Yan temporarily put aside her original plan to give him acupuncture to wake him up.

At this point, Sun Menghong began to tell her first love, Li Zheng, about the current situation.

It turns out that Li Zheng was sober when he got off the plane in Hong Kong.

Later in Guangzhou, he remained in that same state throughout.

From his perspective, he was just in Hong Kong one moment, and in the blink of an eye, he was in another place.

His period of lucidity and unconsciousness was quite long. If he hadn't been cared for by someone, he would have suffered terribly if left alone, though he wouldn't have starved to death.

It's only because he still has a first love who's willing to take care of him that he's in a much worse situation than he is now.

"Would you like something to eat?" Sun Menghong asked Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was still processing what Sun Menghong had just said, and he paused for a moment before speaking:

"I...I'm not hungry."

Then he spoke in dialect:

"Could you please close the curtains? They're so bright!"

Fang Yan glanced at the curtains on the side. It was a cloudy day, with the sun hiding behind the clouds, and the light was quite soft.

It seems this person also has a fear of light.

Fang Yan nodded and prepared to draw the curtains, but Sun Menghong had already run to the window and drawn the curtains.

Fang Yan sighed, saying that Li Zheng must have been incredibly lucky in his past life, or he must have witnessed Sun Menghong committing murder in this life.

Even in his current state of destitution, his first love is still willing to take care of him and is so considerate.

Fang Yan said to Li Zheng:

"Mr. Li, I am your attending physician, my name is Fang Yan."

"I'm not a psychiatrist, but a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."

"You know that there is no such thing as mental illness in traditional Chinese medicine. So in my opinion, you just have an imbalance of Qi and blood and your internal organs are not properly nourished. After I figure it out, I can restore it to normal. I hope you will cooperate with me."

Li Zheng was stunned for at least five or six seconds before he nodded:
"it is good."

Fang Yan wasn't in a hurry, and asked him:
"Can you tell me how you feel right now?"

Li Zheng opened his mouth, as if organizing his thoughts, and after several seconds he finally spoke:
"I... I'm still the same as before, my head is throbbing, I'm very irritable, everything in front of me feels chaotic, I want to clean the whole house until there's nothing left, nothing left, nothing left..."

"Hmm?" Fang Yan frowned as he listened to Li Zheng repeat three words.

He seems to have fallen into some kind of state again.

Sun Menghong said to Fang Yan:

"Dr. Fang, please don't worry about him. He's just like that; he repeats himself unconsciously."

"He was afraid of light and chaos, had severe obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and suffered from insomnia, pessimism, irritability, headaches, urges to self-harm, and loss of appetite. This was his previous state."

"You can just ask me directly. Asking him now won't yield any valuable information."

"Okay." Fang Yan nodded.

Then he asked her:
"How was his trip to the toilet?"

Sun Menghong replied without hesitation:

"Yellow urine and dry stools."

Wow, this is true love.

"Let me take his pulse." Fang Yan stood up and came to Li Zheng's side.

He was still repeating "nothing left" when Fang Yan grabbed his hand. Li Zheng trembled and then recovered, looking blankly at Fang Yan who had suddenly "appeared" in front of him.

Then he said:

"Am I having another episode?"

Sun Menghong said to Li Zheng:

"It's alright, Dr. Fang is taking your pulse. He's very skilled and will surely cure you soon."

Fang Yan saw that Li Zheng had regained consciousness, and while taking his pulse, he said to him:
"Stick your tongue out so I can see it."

Li Zheng paused for a moment, then stuck out his tongue.

The dialect indicates a thick, yellow tongue coating.

After taking his pulse, it was found that his pulse was wiry, slippery, and rapid.

Fang Yan stood up and returned to his seat.

Li Zheng asked in dialect:

"Doctor, how am I?"

Despite his self-harm tendencies, when he's lucid, his will to live is quite strong. He said in a dialect:

"Based on your condition, in traditional Chinese medicine, it is called liver qi stagnation, phlegm-fire stagnation, and heart blood malnourishment."

He had a 14-year history of emotional depression, which was caused by arguments and divorce with his wife. The Danxi Heart Method states: "When the Qi and blood are in harmony, no disease will arise; once there is depression, all kinds of diseases will arise." Li Zheng's long-term emotional distress led to liver dysfunction.

A wiry pulse indicates liver disease, irritability, and anger.

A thick, yellow tongue coating indicates phlegm-heat; a slippery, rapid pulse also indicates phlegm-fire in the body; repetitive speech indicates phlegm obstructing the mind; and self-harm by banging one's head in Japan also indicates fire disturbing the spirit.

The "Standards for Diagnosis and Treatment" states: "The disease of epilepsy and mania is always caused by the obstruction of phlegm and fire, which disturbs the mind." This fits the description perfectly.

Furthermore, his 14 years of insomnia led to a lack of mental focus and subsequently resulted in feelings of inferiority and fear in the workplace. This is also a manifestation of a malnourishment of the mind and spirit. People who don't sleep well are prone to this state, but they often don't realize the connection. (PS: Pay attention!)
In addition, a dull tongue indicates poor blood circulation.

The Ling Shu states that the heart governs the blood vessels, and long-term liver stagnation can suppress the spleen, leading to insufficient production of qi and blood.

Now, liver qi stagnation, phlegm-fire accumulation, and heart blood malnourishment are all three problems.

It's hard not to go crazy.

In addition, he also has a disordered circadian rhythm, which is why he is afraid of light. In the Thirteen Ghost Needles, this is called an imbalance of Yin and Yang, and a loss of spirit.

Coupled with his repetitive speech and self-harm, this perfectly matches the description of "delirious ramblings, delusions and hallucinations."

"Doctor, can this be cured?" Li Zheng asked Fang Yan.

Sun Menghong also looked at Fang Yan with some nervousness.

Fang Yan nodded:
"Of course it can be cured."

As he spoke, he began writing an analysis of the medical case.

After summarizing the patient's condition as he just analyzed, he needs to develop a treatment plan.

Everyone else gathered behind Fang Yan, watching him write medical records, his thoughts clearly laid out.

It's easy to understand at a glance.

Li Zhengji and Wang Yuchuan couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Fang Yan's medical case is textbook-level; you don't need to make any connections, it's all there.

As he wrote, Fang Yan said to Li Zheng:

"I will prescribe Chinese medicine for you to drink, but before that, we need to use acupuncture to treat your recurring loss of consciousness. Otherwise, if you faint, it will be difficult for us to treat your illness."

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng hesitated for a few seconds before saying:
"But... but if I'm awake, I won't be able to sleep."

Sun Menghong nodded in agreement:
"Yes, Dr. Fang, he suffers from chronic insomnia."

He said in dialect:

"Don't worry, after the acupuncture, I guarantee he'll fall asleep by bedtime."

Hearing the dialect spoken like this, Sun Menghong nodded:

"Then...then I believe you."

Then she grabbed Li Zheng's hand and said to him:
"Dr. Fang will definitely be able to do it."

After hearing this, Li Zheng looked at Sun Menghong and then at Fang Yan, who looked calm. For some reason, he felt that Fang Yan was indeed very trustworthy.

Fang Yan had specifically practiced gaining patients' trust. Meng Jimin had previously been able to easily gain patients' trust, so Fang Yan studied by observing him, and later the system helped him.

Now, as soon as he starts treating patients, they inexplicably trust him.

"Do you have any food with you? Something to fill your stomach?" Fang Yan asked Sun Menghong after finishing writing the medical record.

Sun Menghong looked around; everyone who had come with her shook their heads. She said awkwardly:

"Um, no, are you hungry?"

Fang Yan was both amused and exasperated, and said:
"It's not that I'm hungry, it's for Mr. Li to eat."

After saying that, he took out his work ID and handed it to Song Jianzhong, saying:

"Jianzhong, take my work ID and go to the cafeteria. Just ask for something to eat. The Thirteen Ghost Needles cannot be administered to patients on an empty stomach."

The Thirteen Ghost Needles technique strictly adheres to the "Three Needling and Five Prohibitions" principle. This principle originates from the Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot), with the three needling techniques described in "Ling Shu Official Needling" and the five prohibitions in "Ling Shu Five Prohibitions." The Thirteen Ghost Needles technique has undergone some modifications, roughly as follows:

The so-called three piercings are: piercing the physical body, piercing the energy, and piercing the spirit (consciousness).

The five prohibitions are: prohibition during full moon, prohibition during cloudy or rainy weather, prohibition on an empty stomach, prohibition during thunderstorms, and prohibition during menstruation.

Upon hearing about the Thirteen Needles of Ghosts, Song Jianzhong, like everyone else, had a bright look in his eyes, immediately took the identification, and nodded.
"Okay, I'll be right there!"

After saying that, he ran out in a flash.

PS: I got another 100 monthly votes, so after finishing this chapter, I still owe everyone 49000 words.

There will be more this afternoon!
