But Shen Tianshu gave an answer that he didn't expect: "Because your house is very clean."
Liu Chuan raised his head and looked at Shen Tianshu doubtfully, waiting for her further explanation.
"Perhaps you have always been in this environment, so you don't have any special feelings.
"But you know, taking care of a person who is sick for a long time is actually very hard work. Even if you are a wealthy family and have servants to take care of you, it still requires a lot of attention and effort from the family.
“You don’t know how many patients I have seen whose rooms smell bad and whose clothes and bedding are dirty.
"With your family's conditions and your condition, you can keep your clothes and bedding clean and fresh, and there is no odor in the house. I can't imagine how much hard work your mother has put into it."
This was the first time Liu Chuan considered the problem from this perspective. After listening to Shen Tianshu's words, he slowly turned his head to look at Mrs. Liu.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had taken a closer look at his mother. At this moment, he suddenly felt that she was much older than he remembered.
Mrs. Liu was wiping her tears with the back of her rough hands. Seeing her son looking at her, the root of her nose felt sore again.
Shen Tianshu continued: "I don't want to lie to you, nor do I want to give you some vain hopes. So there are some things I just told your mother, and I want to tell you now.
"I shouldn't be able to cure your illness, but as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I will try my best to alleviate your illness so that you can live a more comfortable life and be able to stay with your parents for a few more years. Would you like to try if your mother could work less hard?"
It could be seen from his eyes that Liu Chuan was obviously moved by Shen Tianshu's words, but he still had one last concern.
"There is no money at home."
Before Shen Tianshu could speak this time, Mrs. Liu rushed forward excitedly and said: "Chuan'er, don't worry, Mrs. Tong will treat you, not only will she not charge for consultation, she will not even charge for medicine!
"As long as you agree, you must agree, right?"
Liu Chuan's eyes showed confusion and confusion, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why, what?"
He and his family have long since lost anything worthy of others' covetousness.
How could someone be willing to treat themselves without spending any money or even paying for medicine?
Shen Tianshu unfolded the booklet in his hand and held it up to Liu Chuan and asked, "I heard that you went to a private school before. Can you understand what this is?"
Liu Chuan looked closely for a moment and said slowly: "Is this a medical case?"
"Yes, this is the medical record left by the miracle doctor Jiang Sujiang. He has encountered patients like you before and left many precious prescriptions and disease records.
"Shenjiang Doctor said before that everyone's lifespan is limited. As doctors, we cannot visit every inch of land and see every patient, so we must learn from the experience accumulated by others.
“He spent most of his life sorting out his medical records, knowledge, experiences on medication, and finding bookstores to publish and sell them.
"Some people think he is doing it to make money, others say he is doing it to gain fame, but in fact it is not the case.
"It is said that it is to make money, but in fact, with his medical skills and reputation, as long as he is willing, there will immediately be a lot of people holding real money and asking him to diagnose his pulse and prescribe prescriptions.
"It's even funnier to say it's for the sake of fame. He is already a world-famous miracle doctor and is even a guest of the nobles in the palace. Even the royal living notes have records of him treating the emperor. Why should he bother with his age? How many hours do you still sit at your desk every day just to sort out and proofread these things?
"He did all this just to record his experience and teach it to more doctors through printing, so that he could treat more patients.
"Although I don't have the superb medical skills and moral character of Doctor Jiang, I have always worked hard to follow his example."
Shen Tianshu said, waving the booklet in his hand and continued: "His efforts back then were not in vain. This booklet allows me to help you.
"And I hope that through the joint efforts of the two of us, we can help more people like you who are suffering from this disease in the future. Do you agree?"
Shen Tianshu said and stretched out his hand towards Liu Chuan.
Liu Chuan was obviously a little excited by what she said, but when he looked at her white palms, he was immediately brought back to reality, and he hid his hands behind his back in shame.
Shen Tianshu's hand did not retract, it was always stretched out, waiting for him.
After a long time, Liu Chuan finally gritted his teeth and summoned up the courage to gently place his battered hand on Shen Tianshu's hand.
The corners of Shen Tianshu's lips raised, and he finally showed his first smile after entering the door. He gently held his wrist with his backhand and said, "I'll check your pulse first!"
Shen Tianshu spent a full hour doing an extraordinarily comprehensive examination on Liu Chuan. It could be said that except for his private parts, nothing was missing.
Liu Chuan felt extremely ashamed at first, but later he became a little numb and let her go without any resistance.
Zhang Muqiu was recording on the side and his arms were shaking uncontrollably, and Shen Tianshu finally ended his examination.
"Your situation is very similar to what is recorded in the medical records. Both of them are congenital deficiencies, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, insufficient transformation sources, and the external attack of wind and cold, resulting in the imbalance of the Yingwei and the obstruction of the meridians. The treatment should be to warm the Yin and regulate the Yin. Lord.
"Let's go here today. I will prepare the prescription when I get back. Then someone will prepare the medicine and deliver it to you. You just need to take the medicine on time."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu immediately said: "I can't trouble you any more. You can ask someone to grab the medicine later, and I'll just go over and take it back."
"Don't worry, I'll take it. I've given him medicine a lot in the past few years."
"It's okay, no trouble. There are people in the hospital who are responsible for brewing medicine." Shen Tianshu said and stood up, "It's getting late and I should go back. I'm usually busy. If you need anything, just go to Mu Qiu. That’s it, if she can’t handle it, she will come looking for me.”
Mrs. Liu sent Shen Tianshu and Zhang Muqiu out of the house with great gratitude, and walked all the way to the door of the hospital before reluctantly turning around and going home.
This scene happened to be seen by other people on the street, and soon spread among the neighbors.
Lin's sister-in-law was preparing to cook dinner. She had just put the rice in the pot and added some firewood. When she heard the news, she immediately called her daughter-in-law to watch the stove fire. She hurriedly took off her apron and ran to Liu's house.
"Aunt Liu, what's going on? I heard that you invited Mrs. Tong to come and treat your son?"
"Yes! I didn't have much hope at first. I just didn't give up and wanted to give it a try. I didn't expect Mrs. Tong to be kind and even come to my son's house to see a doctor."
"Then you are really lucky. Apart from Shopkeeper Huang, your son is the second person in Wuchang Mansion who has his pulse diagnosed and treated by Mrs. Tong herself.
"Moreover, Shopkeeper Huang is suffering from a sudden illness and the situation is urgent.
"Let me tell you, your Chuan'er is the first in Wuchang Mansion!"
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she hurriedly said: "Oh, sister-in-law of the Lin family, please don't go out and talk nonsense about one share but not one share. Have you forgotten Prince Rui?"
"Oh, look at my mouth!" Lin's sister-in-law also realized that she had made a mistake. She raised her hand and patted her mouth twice, then stood up and said, "There is still rice cooking in my pot. I have to go back and take a look!"
Watching Lin's sister-in-law leave quickly, Mrs. Liu said to her son: "Look at these people, news spreads so fast! Mrs. Tong is kind enough to treat you, but we can't talk nonsense behind your back and cause trouble to others. I'll wait for your father to come back tonight.
