Qiu Jun was away, so Shen Tianshu could only use the coachman arranged by his family.
After Mingyu helped Shen Tianshu get into the car, he got in and then ordered: "Go to Enhe Temple."
"Okay, Miss, please sit down and we'll set off right now." The coachman shouted, flicked his whip and set off.
Enhe'an was not far from Shen's mansion. They arrived quickly in a carriage. After getting off the car, Mingyu said to the coachman: "You go back first. Just pick up the girl in the evening."
The coachman hurriedly said: "I have explained the management. Brother Qiu has taken a leave of absence due to family matters. In the past few days, the younger one will be waiting for the older girl. The younger one will be waiting outside."
Mingyu heard this and took out a small bunch of copper plates and stuffed them into him and said: "Then you can drive the carriage around to the back and wait. There is a special place to park the carriage at the back. When the girl is ready to go home, I will send someone to call you in advance. .”
The coachman took the coin, thanked him profusely, and then drove the carriage away.
Shen Tianshu left Mingyu in the meditation room as usual, changed his clothes, and went to the medical center through the secret passage.
Zhang Muqiu was treating a patient, and Shen Tianshu didn't bother her. He asked Gao Xiuer to help him carry the medicine box and went to Liu's house opposite.
Mrs. Liu was pleasantly surprised as soon as she opened the door: "Oh, I heard the magpies chirping early this morning. I thought something good would happen, but I didn't expect Mrs. Tong to come!"
"What happened after changing the prescription?" Shen Tianshu asked anxiously about Liu Chuan's situation.
Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Liu heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Seeing her like this, Shen Tianshu's heart sank suddenly.
Seeing this, Gao Xiuer hurriedly said: "The new medicine has only been taken for a few days. It is not a miracle medicine. How can the medicine cure the disease so quickly? I have to take it for a few more days to see."
But I heard Mrs. Liu say: "Although he has only eaten for a few days, Chuan'er's energy has been much better these days than before. He said that the joints of his hands and feet are not as painful as before. In the past, his hands and feet were prone to numbness and stiffness, and recently he has also felt It's getting better, thanks to Mrs. Tong..."
She couldn't help but started to choke after she said it. She was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions. She quickly turned around and said: "We don't understand this either. We just feel that it is getting better. We still need you to check the pulse to feel at ease."
"The prescription I changed this time is mainly from the perspective of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the spleen. It will indeed have the effect of improving qi. As for other effects, we still need to take it for a while to see."
When Shen Tianshu heard that the prescription he had prepared was effective, he was quietly relieved, but he still did not dare to speak too highly.
She tried her best to explain in words that Mrs. Liu could understand: "Patients like Liu Chuan have been ill for a long time, and their health has been drained.
"It's like a person who has no strength. No matter how much others hold him or hold him up, as soon as he lets go, he still won't be able to stand firmly.
"So now we have to let him have the strength before he can get better."
Although Mrs. Liu did not understand medical science, her words were easy to understand. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Isn't that right? Otherwise, the medicine you prescribed will be effective if you take it!"
Shen Tianshu went into the room to check Liu Chuan's pulse. Sure enough, he felt that his pulse beat much stronger than before.
When examining the skin on his hands, Shen Tianshu unexpectedly discovered that the skin seemed to be a little softer than the last time he had a follow-up visit.
She was afraid that she felt wrong, so she asked Mrs. Liu to come over and give it a try.
Although Mrs. Liu usually scrubbed her son every day, she only did so through a cloth. When she came over and touched it, she found that it was a little softer than before, and she suddenly became excited.
"Liu Chuan, try if you can bend your fingers. Don't be brave. You can bend them as far as you can."
Liu Chuan's hands and feet were used to being stiff and he hadn't used his fingers for a long time. After hearing Shen Tianshu's words, he suddenly felt nervous.
He even thought about how to use his fingers.
When Liu Chuan's skinny, blue-black fingers finally slowly and slightly bent, Mrs. Liu finally couldn't help it, covered her mouth and cried.
Liu Chuan stared at his hands and was stunned by this long-lost feeling.
When a person is fine and not sick, no one thinks that bending their fingers is a big deal.
But for a patient like Liu Chuan, who has been ill for several years and whose skin has almost become stiff and lost its elasticity, this small gesture is like a sudden drop of rain in a dry desert.
And he was like a plant that had been dried out by the sun in the Gobi Desert. He was suddenly nourished by rainwater. Even if it was only a minuscule amount, it gave him hope of living again.
"Ms. Tong, can my illness be cured?"
Because of the stiff skin on Liu Chuan's face, it is very difficult to open his mouth, and his speech and pronunciation are affected, so he can never speak in front of outsiders.
At this time, he suddenly struggled to speak such a long sentence, which shows his agitated mood at this time.
Before Shen Tianshu could speak this time, Mrs. Liu scolded her: "You kid, aren't you asking this question to embarrass Mrs. Tong? How do you want her to answer?
"As long as things get better, it's a good thing. Take it step by step, don't be in a hurry!"
Hearing this, Shen Tianshu smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "I really can't give you any guarantee. After all, this is my first time coming into contact with this disease.
"But as long as you insist on taking the medicine, if nothing happens, I think you should be able to recover to the point where you can take care of yourself."
Logically speaking, as a doctor, you should not give such uncertain guarantees to patients and their families.
This was also something that her grandfather had repeatedly emphasized to her and many of his apprentices.
But Shen Tianshu had been in contact with the Liu family for so long and had an understanding of the family's character and temperament. In order to allow Liu Chuan to face the disease with more confidence, she couldn't help but say such words.
"As long as you can take care of yourself, it'll be great!" After Mrs. Liu said this, Liu Chuan felt that what he just said was inappropriate. He was about to apologize to Shen Tianshu, but he didn't expect to hear her words that were almost a guarantee. He simply couldn't say it. Out of excitement.
"Now that your fingers can move, you can increase your activities a little bit every day. Again, don't be pushy and take your time.
"Also, you should pay more attention to the changes in the skin in other parts of the body. Remember to tell Mu Qiu about any progress. These are very important and should be written down."
"Okay, Madam Tong, don't worry. I will let him move around every day from now on. I will tell Dr. Zhang immediately if there is any progress."
Shen Tianshu was sent out by Mrs. Liu, and she was very happy, not only because Liu Chuan's condition had progressed, but also because her questioning of her grandfather's medical records had really paid off.
Just as she was wondering if there was room for improvement in the prescription, and walking into the door of the medical clinic, a man suddenly rushed out and knelt down in front of her.
