Chapter 402 Arrangements

After arranging everything for Bai Jiuyue, Li Sujun and others were seated in a conference room because of Master Wu’s presence. At that moment, many experts from the capital city's hospital were checking on Bai Jiuyue in his ward, while Xiao Yu, Zhang Dahan, and Bai Qiyue were also present.

“Xiao Yu, what is your take on Jiuyue’s condition” Master Wu asked Xiao Yu. They had great faith in Xiao Yu's medical skills now.

“Well... if treated with traditional Chinese medicine, it might take several years of treatment before he has a chance at recovery, while Western medicine would involve surgery to replace his kidney. But since I haven’t studied Western medicine thoroughly, I’m not sure about the success rate.”

Xiao Yu replied after thinking for a moment and continued thoughtfully, “If there’s a high success rate with the transplant, then that could be a good option! Of course, traditional Chinese medical treatment before and after the surgery is essential to increase the likelihood of success!”

Regarding Bai Jiuyue's illness, his kidney function had almost entirely ceased. Even with Xiao Yu’s expertise and acupuncture skills, curing him would take a long time, and there was no guarantee of complete recovery. That’s why he hadn’t started treatment on Jiuyue in Qi City.

However, if the transplant were successful, his chances of survival would greatly increase, making post-surgical care much easier.

Bai Qiyue and Master Wu nodded upon hearing Xiao Yu's words. "Since Xiao Yu suggests this approach, let’s proceed with it as the most secure option. The hospital should start arranging for a donor kidney."

Xiao Yu thought about it and wrote out a prescription on paper, handing it to Bai Qiyue: “Qiyue, first prepare these herbs according to this prescription. Before finding an appropriate kidney source, administer these medications to adjust his kidney function.”

Currently, Xiao Yu could only prescribe some Chinese medicine to regulate Jiuyue’s kidney functions since his kidneys had essentially died off completely. Therefore, acupuncture wouldn’t be suitable for him; medication was the only way to gradually restore his renal function.

To recover kidney function is a long and arduous process. Once part of his kidney function recovers, then using acupuncture would no longer pose any issues.

If a donor kidney becomes available in between, that would be even better, although there’s some risk of failure. However, domestic kidney transplant surgeries are now very advanced. The main concern is postoperative complications; if traditional Chinese medicine can address these effectively after the surgery, it could truly achieve a perfect outcome.

"Thank you... Xiaoyu..." Bai Qiyue took the prescription from Xiao Yu's hand and kept thanking him.

After Xiao Yu finished writing out the prescription, he said goodbye to Mr. Li and left. Xiao Yu was extremely tired; he had traveled thousands of miles even though his body wasn't fully recovered yet. Furthermore, he hadn’t been at peace for a day and night. If it weren’t for his physical condition taking a qualitative leap forward after inheriting Zhong Kui’s legacy, he would have collapsed long ago.

Seeing Xiao Yu's slightly pale complexion, Mr. Li knew that Xiao Yu was indeed exhausted. So when Xiao Yu left and returned to the villa, Yun Xi, who had been sitting in the living room lost in thought, felt very worried since she knew how weak Xiao Yu’s body was.

When Yun Xi saw Xiao Yu's pale face upon his return to the villa, concern showed on her face. After a brief conversation with Yun Xi, Xiao Yu returned to the bedroom; the continuous overexertion in recent days had left him feeling quite drained.

In the evening, Xiao Yu finally woke up from sitting meditation. This afternoon's rest and recuperation helped his exhausted body recover somewhat, although his mental fatigue still needed time to adjust.

When Xiao Yu came downstairs into the living room, Yun Xi had already fallen asleep on the sofa; even while sleeping her brow was furrowed in worry.

Xiao Yu turned around and took a blanket from the nearby cabinet intending to cover Yun Xi with it. But just as he was about to do so, Yun Xi woke up.

"Xiao Yu, you’re awake! Why didn’t you wake me" When Yun Xi saw Xiao Yu holding a blanket ready to cover her, she smiled happily and said.

"Hehe, these two days have been tiring for you too. Get some more rest!" Seeing Yun Xi about to sit up, Xiao Yu hurriedly held her back and said.

In fact, Yun Xi hadn’t rested well in the past couple of days either; both what she saw at the Song family’s place and everything that happened made her feel very uneasy. Everything felt surreal to her, as if it were part of a dream.

Yun Xi was naturally calm and quiet, but what she had seen at the Song family deeply shocked her. She had suspected that the Song family might not be ordinary, but she never imagined they would have such power that even national leaders showed respect when visiting them.

Seeing that Yun Xi wasn’t sleepy anymore, Xiao Yu didn't insist on it. The two of them then sat on the sofa and talked about Xiao Yu's recent trip.

Originally, when Xiao Yu left yesterday morning, he said that he would return later. But in the middle of the day, Yunxi received a call from Song Hushan, who informed her that Xiao Yu and his team had gone to Northeast China and wouldn't be back today. Song Hushan wanted Zhou Ruoying to accompany Yunxi, but Yunxi refused, unwilling to cause trouble for others because of them.

"Ah... o-old... mouse..." While talking with Yunxi, Xiao Yu suddenly heard her scream in fear as she stared at the table.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked towards the table and saw that it was indeed the white mouse he had found on a mountain in Northeast China. He let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Yunxi, don't be afraid; this little white mouse is very understanding!"

"Oh..." Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Yunxi’s expression of fear gradually eased as she cautiously looked at the white mouse on the table.

As Yunxi stared at the white mouse, her thoughts froze. She sensed a hint of flattery in the mind of this little creature, which was an unprecedented feeling for her that caused great surprise.

In addition, she had never before experienced sensing an animal's inner feelings, making it even more unusual and strange to her.

"Yunxi, what happened" Xiao Yu asked when he noticed Yunxi’s odd behavior.

"Nothing, I just suddenly find this mouse very cute!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s question, Yunxi quickly replied.

She did not tell Xiao Yu about her sixth sense. Even the closest person to her would not want others to know their innermost thoughts. It was because she loved him that she feared he might distance himself from her if he knew.

As for her having a sixth sense, she had no intention of telling anyone; this kind of thing she decided to bury deep in her heart.

Since Yunxi did not detect any ill intent coming from the white mouse’s mind, she gradually gained confidence and stretched out her hand towards it.

"Swoosh..." Seeing Yunxi extending her hand, the little white mouse looked at her before leaping onto her hand.

When the little white mouse first landed in Yunxi's hand, Yunxi trembled and almost dropped it. However, she suppressed her fear and looked at the little mouse.

The little mouse, on Yunxi’s hand, glanced at Xiao Yu then back to Yunxi, curled up its body, and fell asleep in the palm of Yunxi's hand.

"Hehe..." Seeing this little white mouse, Yunxi let out a tinkling laugh. She was no longer scared and looked curiously at the white mouse, which seemed very cute to her.

Seeing that the little mouse appeared to be asleep in her hands, a smile involuntarily spread across Yunxi's face as she made it a temporary nest with a soft towel.

Xiao Yu then told Yunxi about what he had seen and heard during his trip to Northeast China at Qishi Hospital, as well as the issue of enhancing medical staff quality.

Yunxi thought for a moment and nodded. The ancient city of Gucheng was famous in history; despite being only a prefecture-level city with one million urban residents, it had close to ten million rural inhabitants, making it an agricultural powerhouse. In such a place, farmers' access to medical care would be a significant issue.

Regarding Xiao Yu's mention of nurses changing dressings for money, she had heard about this but hadn’t given much thought to the matter. Moreover, in some county hospitals, this problem was even more severe because most patients were from rural areas, leading to widespread instances of giving red envelopes (bribes).

Of course, such practices generally no longer existed in large provincial hospitals but remained prevalent in county-level hospitals, where fees could be charged for surgery, hospitalization, intravenous infusions, and even childbirth.

She had also heard that doctors who received red envelopes would provide extra attentive care to the patient, while those who didn’t receive any might only get basic examinations done with little attention otherwise.

In the past, their health bureau had taken some measures by posting complaint hotline numbers in various places, but these were largely ineffective because the patients felt inferior to the doctors and believed that spending a few hundred yuan could bring better treatment, hence they all competed to give such bribes.

Thinking about this, Yunxi remembered her family’s relative's real-life experience. When their cousin’s child had its one-month birthday party, Yunxi’s mother went to visit relatives and returned with an anecdote about the dark side of hospitals today.o the campsite, Ye Fei and others also hurriedly followed him in.When Xiao Yu approached the tent of this campsite, suddenly, intermittent groans came from inside. When Xiao Yu heard these groans, his...
