After Shen Tianshu entered the Zen room, he left Mingyu here and went to the bedroom next door through the secret door. After changing his clothes, he entered the medical center through the secret passage.
It was not yet time for the hospital to open its doors every day, so she directly called Zhang Muqiu: "Muqiu, grab your things and let's go to Liu's house to have a look.
After saying that, she turned to Gao Shan and told Gao Shan: "Send someone to deliver a message to Shopkeeper Huang and ask him to come for a follow-up consultation today."
Over at the Liu family, Mrs. Liu got up early in the morning as usual. She washed herself first, cooked porridge in the pot, steamed some multigrain rolls and pieces of sweet potatoes, and then went to help her son get dressed and wash up. .
Old man Liu wanted to go out to do some work, so he first filled a bowl of porridge, took a multi-grain roll, and ate the moldy tofu made by Mrs. Liu herself. After breakfast, he went out like a storm.
Mrs. Liu mashed the steamed sweet potatoes into puree, chopped some vegetables carefully, mixed them into the porridge and cooked for a while, until the rice in the porridge was cooked until it was soft and mixed with the vegetable leaves and sweet potato puree. After that, he fed it to Liu Chuan one spoonful at a time.
After Liu Chuan's skin hardened, his movements were greatly restricted.
The fingers cannot bend and can hardly make any fine movements.
The skin on his face was tight, making it difficult for him to even open his mouth and complete chewing movements, which forced him to eat only some soft liquid food.
When Mrs. Liu is free, she will feed her son like today. When she is busy, she can only give him a thin bamboo tube and let him suck it slowly.
She had just finished feeding Liu Chuan when there was a knock on the door outside.
Mrs. Liu quickly pulled out her handkerchief and wiped her son's mouth, picked up the dishes and put them in the kitchen, quickly went out to open the door, and wiped her hands vigorously on her apron.
"Jin..." Mrs. Liu thought it was Jin who came to deliver medicine.
Although it was for Hou Biao to act in a play before, through those few contacts, Madam Liu and Mrs. Jin hit it off immediately, and the two of them always had endless things to say when they got together.
Later, Jin simply took over the job of delivering medicine to Gao Xiuer, and often came to work with needlework, chatting and doing things with Mrs. Liu, and stayed there all morning.
Mrs. Liu was originally a talkative and laughing person. In recent years, due to her son's illness, she had to be trapped at home and unable to leave, and her neighbors did not like to visit her home.
Now she has finally met a friend who we can talk to and doesn't dislike her family. She is even happier than the Jin family and looks forward to her coming over every day.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the door today, standing outside the door were Mrs. Tong holding a medicine bowl and Zhang Muqiu carrying a medicine box.
"Mrs. Tong is here." Mrs. Liu was inexplicably surprised and quickly reached out to take the medicine bowl in her hand, "You are a pulse diagnosing hand, how can you do such a rough job!"
Shen Tianshu handed the medicine bowl to Mrs. Liu and asked as he walked in: "How do you feel after taking medicine these days?"
"It's useful, it's useful!" Mrs. Liu immediately said excitedly after hearing this, "Chuan'er said that eating it is effective, and I also think it is effective.
"He used to be very stiff when he woke up every morning, but he improved a lot after taking the medicine you prescribed for a few days.
"Besides, he always complained about pain in his bones and joints all over his body. He would often feel so painful that he would be alone in bed without stopping. I could only help him apply hot compresses to relieve the pain.
"But since I took the medicine you prescribed, the pain is not as painful as before..."
It's no wonder that Mrs. Liu is so excited. You must know that Liu Chuan has been taking the medicine for less than half a month, and the effect is visible to the naked eye. It is much more effective than the medicines bought by doctors who spent a lot of money in the past.
Moreover, Mrs. Tong had reminded them before that Liu Chuan had to be prepared for a protracted battle with his illness.
At first, Mrs. Liu was very worried that Mrs. Tong would be like those doctors in the past, and she decided to give it a try just because it didn’t cost money.
Now that she has only taken the medicine for less than half a month, it has already taken effect. How can she be unhappy?
So recently, not only has the smile on Mrs. Liu's face increased, but even Old Man Liu has become more energetic than before.
People live their whole lives for the sake of future generations. Now that he sees hope that his son's condition will improve, Old Man Liu feels that hope is rekindled in his heart.
However, Shen Tianshu seemed dissatisfied with the effect and asked, "What about the skin on the body and face? Have there been any changes?"
"This..." Mrs. Liu didn't pay much attention to this situation at all, and could only shake her head to express that she didn't know.
Shen Tianshu didn't ask any more questions. He went into the room and asked about Liu Chuan's situation in person. He carefully inspected the condition of his face, neck, fingers and other parts. From time to time, he pressed his skin with his fingers to feel its elasticity, and even wanted to Try to see if you can pinch and lift the skin.
Liu Chuan has never had such contact with a woman other than his mother in his life.
Although the other party didn't use any incense or sachets, there was a very clean and warm smell mixed with a little medicinal fragrance, which made people smell particularly reassuring.
He didn't know whether he was nervous or ashamed, but Liu Chuan's whole body was stiff and he felt his face was getting hot.
It wasn't until Shen Tianshu tried to pinch his cheek that he finally couldn't bear it and hid back. He lowered his eyes slightly in embarrassment and said, "Pinch, I can't pinch it..."
"It's okay, don't be nervous, I'm just checking." Shen Tianshu said softly, taking out the pulse pillow and placing it on the table, "Put your hand up and I'll check your pulse."
Because Liu Chuan's skin was hard, it was difficult to feel his pulse.
Shen Tianshu's fingertips kept changing positions on his wrist, trying to feel his true pulse more accurately.
Liu Chuan felt that his face was about to burn up. He could only be glad that outsiders could not tell that he was in such a situation.
After Shen Tianshu carefully checked his pulse, he found that although Liu Chuan said that he felt better after taking the medicine, in fact, there was not much change in the pulse condition. It could be said that the situation was exactly the same as last time.
The question that had been lingering before came to mind again, and Shen Tianshu frowned subconsciously.
Mrs. Liu, who was watching all this, became nervous instantly and asked cautiously: "Ms. Tong, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Only then did Shen Tianshu come to his senses, quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay, there's nothing wrong with it, but I thought that after taking the medicine these days, it would have some improvement on my skin."
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. For her, the skin problem was the second most important thing.
"It would be good if it can make him feel less uncomfortable. As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes away like a thread!"
"Yes, you are right to think so." Shen Tianshu was keenly aware of the change in Mrs. Liu's mentality and praised, "I am too impatient."
