Chapter 177 - Rabbit and Silver Needle (1/2)
The recruitment drive was very successful and the eet 56 of their classmates or friends to come to the company in a short few days There were still applications trickling in with
The welfare package was good and the boss was also fairly generous The plant also had a good nu women and these were all attractive to the applicants Thunder Horse Manufacturing had not been upgraded yet but the proble talented manpoas already solved
There was no need for Xia Lei to worry about theseSi-Yao and Du Bai from the human resources department would What he needed to solve was a new probleet clinical practice for acupuncture
Xia Lei begun his experiment when darkness descended
His first experimental subject: a rabbit
He used rope to tie all four of the rabbit’s feet together and secure it on the table, then used a shaver to shave the fur off a part of the rabbit’s back, exposing the skin He then used his fingers to pinch that part of skin and make a bruise Finally, he used a needle on the rabbit
The bruising of skin was due to injuries to the tissues under the skin, and rupturing and clotting of blood vessels His plan was to use the silver needles to clear the clotting in the rabbit’s blood vessels and if he could do it, it meant that he could also use the needles on Shentu Ren’s blocked blood vessels This was also why he had asked for a weeks’ time - he needed to have practical experience and evidence that it could be done before he performed the treatment on Shentu Ren
Normal people could only see the bruised skin of the rabbit under normal circuoing on under its skin He knew exactly which blood vessels were broken and which were blocked He could do acupuncture on a rabbit because of his incomparable ability and others would not be able to do it even if one were a practised traditional Chinese medicine doctor with fifty years of experience
His left eye twitched and the inside view of the rabbit’s bruised skin entered Xia Lei’s vision He focused on a blood vessel and inserted a silver needle He had not researched a rabbit’s acupuncture points but he wasn’t going after those anyway; he was after its blood vessels With the help of his eye, the needle in his hand went straight towards the blockage in the blood vessel and he angled the needle, slowly approaching the blockage
When the silver needle got close to the blocked area, his ary travelled froh the silver needle in an instant The silver needle vibrated as energy passed through it and its temperature increased by quite a bit
The internal energy which burst fro upon the gates of a dam There was no sound but Xia Lei could see that the blood vessel had burst The bruising on the rabbit’s skin darkened
‘I used too y Need to decrease it’ Xia Lei summarised his own failure and focused on another capillary, continuing to apply internal energy to the needle
The capillary did not burst this tie was h
Third attempt: blood vessel burst…
Fourth attempt: Blood vessel split…
Fifth attempt…
Failure, failure, success…
Success, success, failure
He tried over and over, again and again Xia Lei’s ained finer control over the internal energy he released He was gaining ifted the bruised and battered rabbit to a neighbour and drove his car to work Liang Si-Yao had asked hio to her home after work the day before but he had declined One as a short tiet his acupuncture skills to a certain level for the procedure He could do his experi Si-Yao and Liang Zheng-Chun view hi acupuncture on a rabbit? That hy he had chosen his own home as the location for his experi equipment from China Industrial Group was already parked on the premises when he arrived at the co equipment specified in the contract They only needed to wait for the construction of the neorkshop to be complete, the new recruits to work and equiprade of Thunder Horsehis workers to unload the goods, Xia Lei went to the office
Liang Si-Yao had already prepared a cup of Jin Jun Mei tea She was in black office-wear; black jacket, black woolen skirt, black heels and flesh-coloured stockings matched with a lotus leaf-collared white shi+rt She was indescribably youthful, ht she looked tastier than the Jin Jun Mei tea she had prepared for hi her
“What did you do at ho Si-Yao asked with a s medicine,” answered Xia Lei honestly
“Must you learn it at home?”
Xia Lei smiled “Heroes in ancient times closed themselves off in caves so I need to find soo to your place too but I won’t be thinking about medical studies with you around Oh, I need a week I’ll treat Shentu Tian-Yin’s father with acupuncture after this week and who knows, ISi-Yao pouted her cherry lips “Shentu Tian-Yin again When will she return you toSi-Yao’s waist and said gently, “Jealous? It’s not even real You know I’ Si-Yao smiled then She turned around and rewarded hiet jealous easily and even a ‘daughter of the world’ like Liang Si-Yao was no exception She did get jealous but she was also broad-entle words to soothe her and she was fine
“Uhed in the doorway and the voice was uniquely reedy
Xia Lei didn’t have to look back to know that it was Qin Xiang He let go of Liang Si-Yao, then looked at Qin Xiang in the doorway and pretended to be annoyed as he said, “Don’t you kno to knock?”
