Deputy Minister Jia’s apartnt.
Silence….
Deputy Minister Jia stopped frowning and was puzzled. He shook his head hard.
Dong Xuebing asked. “How are you feeling, Minister Jia?”
Jia Miao looked at Dong Xuebing. “The pain is gone.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “This is only a temporary relief.”
Mrs. Jia was surprised. “Are you alright now, Old Jia?”
Jia Miao laughed. “I am fine. The pain is gone.”
Migraine pain ordinarily lasted one to two hours, and painkillers were ineffective. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to relieve the pain in a few seconds. This was a miracle. Jia Miao and his wife finally believed in his skills. You cannot judge a book by its cover. Who says a young man cannot be a good doctor? He treated a troubleso condition with only a simple massage.
The old doctor was awkward. He had perford acupuncture treatnt on Minister Jia for a few days without any results.
The doctor asked. “Which school are you in, young man?”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “I had been working for a few years.”
The doctor blinked. “Are you working in a Provincial hospital or a Beijing hospital?”
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. “I am not working in the hospital. I am not even a doctor. I had only learned so traditional Chinese massage.”
“You are not a doctor?!” The doctor, Jia Miao, and his wife were stunned.
Mrs. Jia said. “It doesn’t matter as long as the treatnt is effective.”
The doctor knew he had t a master and wanted to leave. “Minister Jia, Mrs. Jia, I… I will leave now.”
Jia Miao did not treat him differently after he could not cure his condition. “It’s almost lunchti. Stay for lunch.”
“No… no…. I got work waiting for at the hospital.”
“Alright. I shall not stop you. Thanks for treating these few days.”
“Don’t ntion it, Minister Jia. I am going now.”
The old doctor left and closed the door behind him.
Jia Miao turned and smiled at Dong Xuebing. “What’s your na, young man?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “My surna is Dong.”
“Have a seat.” Jia Miao turned to his wife. “Give Mr. Dong a cup of tea.”
Mrs. Jia nodded and went to prepare tea.
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. “Please call Xiao Dong.”
“Ok. Have a seat first.” Jia Miao sat on the sofa with Dong Xuebing.
Mrs. Jia ca back with a cup of tea and said. “I will prepare lunch. What do you like, Xiao Dong?”
Dong Xuebing quickly stood up to receive the teacup from her. “I am fine with anything. Thank you.”
Mrs. Jia entered the kitchen and asked while washing the vegetables. “Oh, do you know the root cause of Old Jia’s condition? Can he be cured?”
Jia Miao looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing paused for a second and said. “There are many causes for migraine, and even modern dicine cannot explain so of the causes. Minister Jia’s condition is quite severe, and it’s hard to cure it completely. He needs more rest and got to take care of himself. The hospital doctors should have told you what to take note of, and I shall not say more. I can only guarantee that you will not experience the pain within the next six months.”
Jia Miao was overjoyed. “You can guarantee it will not relapse within six months?!”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes. I will treat you a few tis in the afternoon. The process is quite troubleso. If you are alright with it, I can….”
“Sure! Let’s do it.” Jia Miao will not object. He patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder. “It would be great if the pain is gone in the next six months. I could not work now with the pain. Although I will retire soon, I am considering getting an early retirent because of my condition. It’s been two months, and the pain made bang my head against the walls of my office. It worsened recently, forcing to take one week off work.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Headaches are unbearable.”
“That’s right. But I feel much better after your massage.” Jia Miao replied. “I only want to relieve the pain.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Don’t worry. This is what I am good at.”
About fifteen minutes later.
Lunch was ready, and they sat at the dining table.
Jia Miao and his wife still do not know Dong Xuebing is a civil servant and think he is an unknown miracle doctor. They chatted without any reservations.
After lunch.
Mrs. Jia cleared the table.
Jia Miao and Dong Xuebing were about to enter the bedroom for treatnt.
Suddenly, Jia Miao paused and held his head. He started sweating and took deep breaths.
“What’s wrong, Old Jia?” Mrs. Jia asked. “Did the pain start again?”
Jia Miao nodded. He was trembling from the pain.
“Please check on him, Mr. Dong.” Mrs. Jia said.
Dong Xuebing nodded and helped Jia Miao into the room. “Please lie on the bed with your back facing , Minister Jia. Don’t worry. The pain will be gone soon.”
Mrs. Jia stood behind, looking at them worryingly.
Jia Miao got on the bed slowly.
Dong Xuebing pressed his head hard and said REVERSE in his heart.
One second….
Two seconds….
Three seconds….
REVERSE deactivated.
Jia Miao relaxed after a few seconds and looked at his wife, wiping his sweat for him. “I am fine now.”
Mrs. Jia looked at him. “You are fine now?!”
Jia Miao nodded. “Yes. The pain is gone.”
“Are you really fine?” Mrs. Jia could not believe her eyes.
Jia Miao replied. “Thanks to Mr. Dong. He is a miracle doctor.”
Dong Xuebing quickly stop them. “No… no…. I am not a miracle doctor. I know a few pain relief treatnts.”
If one is coincidental, and twice is luck, then the third ti is a skill. Dong Xuebing’s pain relief massage was very effective, and they were more confident in his skills. They had never heard of doctors who could relieve pain imdiately without dications.
“Let’s start, Minister Jia.”
“Ok.”
“Please sit upright. I am starting.”
Mrs. Jia looked at Dong Xuebing, who repeatedly placed his hands on Jia Miao’s head. He massaged the left and right sides of his head and neck.
Mrs. Jia asked. “Xiao Dong, can we learn this massage? I hope I can relieve his pain when it happens again.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “It’s difficult to learn this massage even if I teach you. It is not just pressing a few acupuncture points and will depend on the situation. Don’t worry about it, Mrs. Jia. I guarantee Minister Jia’s migraine will not return within six months. He should be cured if he cared for himself during this period.”
“Great.” Mrs. Jia said. “Thank you.”
“Don’t ntion it.” Dong Xuebing continued with his massage. “Minister Jia, I will press a few acupuncture points on your head. You will feel so numbness and slight pain for a while. Please prepare yourself.”
“No problem.”
Dong Xuebing mumbled REVERSE again.
Dong Xuebing did not stop this ti. He used REVERSE until Jia Miao returned to his healthy state.
A few minutes passed, and Dong Xuebing deactivated REVERSE.
Dong Xuebing had used most of his remaining ti to treat Jia Miao. But it’s worth it if Minister Jia can help him.
“Alright, Minister Jia.” Dong Xuebing let go of Minister Jia’s head.
Jia Miao blinked. “It’s over?”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes. It’s done.”
Mrs. Jia said. “Xiao Dong, if you have nothing to do later, stay for dinner. It’s not I don’t trust your skills. It is because Old Jia would have a relapse around 4 pm every day for the past two months. I am worried it will happen if you leave. Can you….”
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and replied. “Alright. I will return later.”
Mrs. Jia smiled. “Fantastic. I will bring so fruits for you now.”
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Very soon, it was 4 pm.
Jia Miao and Dong Xuebing were chatting while Mrs. Jia looked at the ti nervously.
4.10 pm…. 4.20 pm…. Jia Miao was fine.
Mrs. Jia asked. “Do you have a headache, Old Jia?”
Jia Miao laughed and shook his head. “No.”
Dong Xuebing said Jia Miao would not get any relapses within six months, and it was true.
Mrs. Jia was overjoyed. “Your massage is fantastic. Thank you so much, Mr. Dong. Please wait here. I will prepare dinner now.”
