Chapter 64: Showing Off a Little Skill
Li Yi carefully examined Ma Dongmei's condition, then smiled and nodded at her, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
"Really? Brother Li, how long will it take before I can participate in training?"
"Hmm... conservatively speaking, it will take at least three days."
Such a serious condition can be cured in just three days?
Upon hearing Li Yi's words, the others stared in shock.
Even Xia Bingyu was a little skeptical. "Xiao Li, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"Sister Xia, why would I lie to you?" Li Yi shook his head with a smile. "How about this, I'll go get the tools first, and you'll find out soon enough."
After he finished speaking, he went straight to the second floor and got two boxes of silver needles.
When they returned to the first floor, Li Yi first disinfected the area with alcohol, and then began to massage Ma Dongmei's quadriceps and hamstrings.
Seeing this, Xia Bingyu asked in confusion, "Xiao Ma injured her knee, why are you pressing her thigh?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Sister Xia, the areas I'm pressing now are called the quadriceps and hamstrings. This can help regulate the surrounding muscles and reduce pressure so that we can receive acupuncture later."
Although Wang Tao didn't understand any of this, it didn't stop her from showing off. "Hey, Lao Xia, you don't understand anything, so don't bother Xiao Li with his treatment."
"..." Xia Bingyu rolled her eyes and had no choice but to shut her mouth.
After relaxing his muscles, Li Yi first took out a box of acupuncture needles and began inserting needles into the Zusanli acupoint.
Next are Sanyinjiao, Yanglingquan, Xuehai, Liangqiu...
Soon, Ma Dongmei's legs were covered with silver needles.
However, the silver needles were all inserted in a way that avoided the large swollen area on her knee.
The onlookers were completely bewildered.
Everyone was really confused. The goal was to treat the swelling and injury in the knee, but Li Yi's massage and acupuncture were all unrelated things.
Li Yi also guessed that everyone would definitely not understand it.
As he inserted the needles, he explained, "The acupoints I'm inserting now are to promote blood circulation in Xiao Ma's legs, so that the bruising in her knees can be drained later."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tao immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice, as if she truly understood.
Seeing her like this, Xia Bingyu rolled her eyes again.
Song Yaqing looked at Li Yi, who was putting on airs, and curled her lips with disdain.
She didn't believe that Ma Dongmei's serious injury could be cured with just a few massages and acupuncture.
A dozen minutes later.
After finishing needling all the acupoints on his legs, Li Yi put away the needles and opened the second box.
"Hey? Xiao Li, the needle you're using this time seems different from the one you used before?" Wang Tao, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed the difference.
"Sister Wang, you're quite thoughtful."
Li Yi smiled and continued to explain: "The needle I'm using is called a three-edged needle. It's a tool used in traditional Chinese medicine for bloodletting therapy, mainly used to treat conditions such as blood stasis, acute pain, and so on."
There's nothing wrong with the bones in Xiao Ma's knee; the swelling is just due to excessive blood stasis. The Western medical procedure of aspiration and fluid drainage is quite complex, so the recovery time is longer.
Now, with just a three-edged needle, I can not only help her expel the stagnant blood, but also promote blood circulation and relieve pain.
As Li Yi spoke, he performed the scattered stabbing technique.
He took out a three-edged needle and evenly pricked Ma Dongmei's knee, each needle only penetrating a little bit, to a depth of about 1 millimeter.
Seeing how shallowly he inserted each needle, Xia Bingyu immediately became suspicious. "Xiao Li, you're only inserting it this little bit. How can you possibly drain the blood clots?"
It wasn't just Xia Bingyu who had such suspicions; Wang Tao and Song Yaqing, seeing this, also began to have doubts.
"Sister Xia, you can rest assured and keep an eye on things."
Li Yi smirked as he continued to prick his finger with the lancet.
Soon, as he inserted the needles one by one, black spots began to appear on Ma Dongmei's knees.
Then, the black dots began to grow larger and start to move.
"So the blood clots have been drained?"
Upon seeing this, Xia Bingyu's eyes widened in disbelief.
The others were also shocked.
Li Yi didn't have time to explain at this moment, and turned to Wu Xiaomei and shouted, "Xiaomei, go and get a few ice packs."
"oh."
A short while later, Wu Xiaomei returned with several ice packs.
Once the bruising on Ma Dongmei's knees stopped flowing out, Li Yi immediately applied ice packs to the area around her knees.
"Xiao Ma, hold these ice packs down for a few minutes before releasing them."
Ma Dongmei had only heard the coach praise Li Yi's medical skills, but she had never actually seen them.
But just now, the other party only massaged a few acupoints and then used a few silver needles to easily drain the bruises from my knee.
Throughout the entire process, I did not feel any pain.
It even felt somewhat comfortable.
Only then did she truly understand just how formidable Li Yi was.
Upon hearing Li Yi's instructions, Ma Dongmei replied without hesitation, "Okay, Brother Li."
About three minutes later.
Li Yicai then said, "Alright, Xiao Ma, you can let go now."
Upon hearing this, Ma Dongmei immediately removed the ice pack.
When everyone looked again, they saw that the swelling in her knee had obviously subsided considerably, and the bruises had also faded a lot.
Although it hasn't fully recovered yet, the effects are already visible to the naked eye.
As the person directly involved, Ma Dongmei felt the effects of the treatment most clearly. "Brother Li, I don't feel any pain in my knee at all. Can I try walking a few steps now?"
Before Li Yi could speak, Xia Bingyu's face hardened. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a serious injury heal so quickly? Since Xiao Li said it would take at least three days, then you'd better lie down and rest for three days."
Upon hearing this, Ma Dongmei could only stick out her tongue and continue to sit obediently in her chair.
Instead, Li Yi smiled and shook his head, "Sister Xia, the three days I mentioned meant complete recovery. The blood stasis in Xiao Ma's knee has been completely drained. She just needs to slowly recover her blood and energy. She doesn't need to lie down all the time."
Furthermore, taking a short walk or moving around can promote blood circulation, as long as the exercise time isn't too long.
Ma Dongmei couldn't wait any longer.
Upon hearing Li Yi's words, she immediately stood up slowly from the chair and then stepped out.
One step, two steps, three steps...
When she first arrived, she was using crutches and couldn't put her feet on the ground, but now, less than half an hour later, Ma Dongmei is walking easily.
A group of people stared in disbelief.
"Great! I knew you could do it!"
After Xia Bingyu came to her senses, she excitedly slapped him across the face.
A crisp snap!
Li Yi gasped, then rubbed his shoulder and said with a wry smile, "Ouch~ Sister Xia, you're repaying kindness with enmity!"
Seeing this, Wang Tao immediately stood up for him, "Old Xia, don't you know how strong you are? What if you hurt Xiao Li?"
Xia Bingyu was just excited and accidentally injured Li Yi.
She was about to apologize, but after hearing Wang Tao's words, her face changed to one of disdain. "What, I only slapped Xiao Li once, and you're already feeling sorry for him?"
"I feel sorry for your grandpa!"
Wang Tao's pretty face immediately flushed red, and she quickly made up an excuse, "I'm just waiting for him to treat my idol's illness. If you hurt him, who will treat him?"
Ma Dongmei's knee injury is just a minor matter; the real trouble is yet to come.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi looked up at Song Yaqing.
