Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1968 - 2031: Administering Treatment

Chu Nan’s father was seized, and naturally he wouldn’t give up, his body struggling constantly. Chu Nan’s mother and daughter hurried over to help, pressing down on Chu Nan’s father while continuously comforting him.

Li Yifei had never imagined that a mentally ill patient could have such strength during an episode, strength not at all like a patient should have. He nearly broke free, and Li Yifei had to exert some effort to hold him down. Suddenly, Chu Nan let out a cry, her face full of pain. Li Yifei quickly looked over to see that Chu Nan’s hand was being bitten by her father, and he was really biting hard. Li Yifei immediately freed a hand, pointed a finger at the back of Chu Nan’s father’s neck, and saw his body stiffen and suddenly stop moving.

"What’s wrong with my dad?" Chu Nan, unable to care about her own pain, quickly asked, and Chu Nan’s mother anxiously looked at Li Yifei as well.

Li Yifei explained, "It’s okay, I just targeted an acupoint. It will release itself in ten minutes. You go and take care of your hand first!"

Chu Nan’s hand was already bitten badly by her father, and blood was dripping out. After hearing Li Yifei’s explanation, the mother and daughter, disregarding their amazement, nodded quickly.

Chu Xiaoyao took this time to ask, "Husband, is there a way to help Chu Nan?"

Li Yifei frowned slightly, saying, "I’m not sure for now, I’ll try later. Looking at the situation, even sending him to the hospital might not have any good solutions."

"Okay, then go for it, husband." Chu Xiaoyao said, shaking her small fist.

When the mother and daughter returned from the bathroom and bandaged up Chu Nan’s hand simply, Chu Xiaoyao said first, "Chu Nan, Auntie, given uncle’s situation, sending him to the hospital probably won’t help much."

With a sad face, Chu Nan nodded, saying, "Even if it doesn’t help, let’s send him, give him some sedative medication."

"It’s really just maintaining him. When he’s not having an episode, he’s no different from a normal person. But once he does... he always feels like someone is harming him, someone wants to kill him, so he treats everyone as an enemy!" Chu Nan’s mother said, wiping her tears.

Chu Xiaoyao then said, "How about letting my husband try!"

"Li... Mr. Li is a doctor?" The mother and daughter’s eyes brightened as they asked.

"Not a doctor, but my husband knows some methods." Chu Xiaoyao explained.

The mother and daughter exchanged glances. Over the years, they had tried many methods, formal medical treatments, and various folk remedies, even someone had mentioned that drinking old house dripping water from the eaves could cure him. They had tried such superstitious ways, even inviting Taoist priests and Master Yin and Yang. And now, what methods does this Mr. Li know? They felt a bit confused, but since Chu Nan knew Li Yifei slightly, she asked, "Mr. Li, what method will you use?"

Li Yifei said, "My method is hard to explain, and whether it will be effective is also uncertain!"

"Chu Nan, my husband’s method is special, but I think it’s worth a try considering uncle has tried many methods." Chu Xiaoyao said beside.

Chu Nan’s mother didn’t have any ideas, but still held some skepticism in her heart. However, Chu Nan believed she should trust Li Yifei, so after a few seconds, she nodded and said, "Mr. Li, can I trouble you? I don’t know what the treatment requires, but I will prepare."

"In the bedroom will be fine, no need to prepare anything." Li Yifei said.

The mother and daughter hurried to prepare the bedroom, tidying it up. Li Yifei, on the other hand, carried Chu Nan’s father to the bedroom, laid him down, and glanced at Chu Xiaoyao, nodding gently to reassure her. Chu Xiaoyao then led the mother and daughter out.

Li Yifei began to explore with True Qi, carefully sending a thread of True Qi directly into Chu Nan’s father’s head. Many mental illnesses result from brain damage, and Chu Nan’s father once fell from a high place, so Li Yifei believed there was damaged brain tissue causing his occasional episodes.

The human brain is the most mysterious organ. Even with medicine advancing to this day, understanding the brain is difficult. Li Yifei didn’t plan to understand it using medical measures. His True Qi entered to explore cautiously, and ten minutes later he found the cause of the illness; indeed, Chu Nan’s father’s brain was damaged and hadn’t healed, with a very small hematoma near the brainstem, which had turned into a stone-like entity over the years. This wasn’t the key, however; the key was that Li Yifei discovered an injured meridian.

Ordinarily, people possess meridians within, though few can cultivate them. The damaged meridian Li Yifei found was an important one located in the brain’s region.

Fortunately, the damage wasn’t severe; otherwise, Chu Nan’s father might have died right away rather than having lived all these years.

Upon locating the damaged area, Li Yifei pondered treatment methods; whether to treat it directly or in stages. Direct treatment might result in unexpected events, while staged treatment would take more time...

Seeing that Chu Nan’s father showed signs of awakening, Li Yifei stood up again and pressed on him to calm him down, then walked out. The three women outside were already anxious, but hearing no noise within, didn’t enter. As soon as Li Yifei emerged, the mother and daughter hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, how is it?"

"There’s a hematoma in his brainstem, which has developed into a stone-like mass, correct?" Li Yifei inquired.

The two women’s eyes lit up, quickly nodding, "Yes, that’s where he fell. Doctors have examined it but couldn’t operate; the risk of death was too high, plus the surgery was too expensive, so we didn’t..."

Li Yifei nodded, confirming he didn’t misdiagnose, so Chu Nan’s father’s cause of illness was identified.

The mother and daughter watched Li Yifei in surprise since they hadn’t mentioned it earlier. How did Li Yifei find it?

"I have my ways. There’s now the question!" Li Yifei didn’t explain further, continuing, "I can attempt a one-time treatment, but there’s certain risk, or multiple treatments with potentially very weak effects compared to a one-time treatment."

Without thinking, Chu Nan said, "Then please go for a one-time treatment, regardless..."

"Regardless" was left unsaid, implying they accepted the risks. Her mother hesitated, saying, "If that’s the case, why not let Mr. Li try, and if adverse outcomes happen, we shall bear it ourselves, not blaming Mr. Li."

"Husband, be careful and try to heal him." Chu Xiaoyao murmured encouragingly.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try!" Li Yifei nodded.

Returning to the room, Li Yifei had already decided on the approach: using True Qi to shatter the stone-like entity and guide the fragments out through his neck. Li Yifei would make a small incision, but the crucial part was repairing the meridian, as the damaged meridian truly led to his recurrent mental episodes, whereas the "stone" constantly tormented him.

Li Yifei took a deep breath, placing both palms on the nape of Chu Nan’s father’s neck. Two threads of True Qi flowed out from his hands, divided into fine strands. The True Qi entered Chu Nan’s father, quickly performing their duties by threading through the meridians to the stone location, beginning work.

Within five minutes, the stone near his brainstem was shattered by Li Yifei’s True Qi. Li Yifei lightly scratched a small incision at his fourth cervical vertebrae, and within a minute black stone-like masses gradually flowed out of that wound, mingled with blackened blood polluted by these tiny stones.

Li Yifei used a tissue to clean the black stone fragments and blood, feeling relieved. Following this, Li Yifei began repairing the meridian.

The brain’s meridians are crucial, even more so than the ones near the Dantian. If the Dantian is damaged, it is easier to repair. However, brain damage isn’t easily repaired.

This process astonishingly took Li Yifei more than half an hour, even more complicated than he anticipated. During it, Chu Nan’s father almost woke up multiple times. Li Yifei had to keep pressing acupoints to keep him calm.

Luckily, Li Yifei’s hard work didn’t go to waste. With his True Qi treatment assisting, the damaged meridian gradually healed, and the tissue destroyed by the "stone" slowly regrew and mended, so it should be fine.

Li Yifei wiped the sweat from his forehead. Though this treatment didn’t seem difficult, it wasn’t any easier than sealing the cold Qi in Su Lio’s body. It was partly because it was Li Yifei’s first time treating, requiring careful handling.

Seeing Chu Nan’s father had fallen asleep, Li Yifei stood up and walked out. Outside, the three women had been waiting anxiously. Seeing him come out, Chu Xiaoyao quickly asked, "Husband, how did it go?"

"It should be fine now." said Li Yifei, nodding.

"Really?" The mother and daughter looked at Li Yifei, their eyes aglow.

Li Yifei smiled, saying, "I removed the hematoma stone from uncle’s brain. As for whether he will recover fully, I can’t say!"

"Oh my God!" The mother and daughter were utterly shocked. The hematoma stone alone in Chu Nan’s father’s brain had many doctors at their wits’ ends because the place was too sensitive, with many nerves, and it’s the core of the brain’s center. Any slight error might cause serious consequences. Even if there were a doctor capable of performing the surgery without worrying about medical costs, it certainly couldn’t have been removed so effortlessly. However, Li Yifei managed to take out the hematoma from Chu Nan’s father’s brain in just over half an hour, which was simply unbelievable.

They couldn’t help but be amazed, immediately running to the bedroom without thanking Li Yifei, watching Chu Nan’s father lying there with a much-improved complexion. At that moment, he even started to snore.
