Chapter 61 The woman who hurts to death
When the old woman heard that Gu Yezhou was willing to treat her for free, she was of course happy. She immediately asked the two children to take out two stools from the house and ask Gu Yezhou and the others to sit down.
Gu Yezhou carefully examined her palms, and her finger joints were spindle-shaped. When he checked the pulse, he found that the tongue coating was thin, white and greasy, and the pulse was deep and stringy. He was diagnosed with bone numbness, which is rheumatoid arthritis. He asked again: "Sister-in-law, are there any other joints besides the hands?"
"Yes! Her feet hurt so much." As she said that, she took off her shoes and asked Gu Yezhou to look at her feet. She saw that the ankle joints of her feet were also swollen, painful and stiff.
Gu Yezhou said: "Sister-in-law, you are afraid you have been sick for a while, right?"
"It's been four years!" The old woman sighed, "In the past four years, sometimes it hurts so much that I am so heartbroken. It's better during the day, but at night, when it hurts so hard, I can't sleep all night! It's a little more comfortable to bubble with warm water, but it's useless. Now, except for taking care of two children, I can't do anything, and it's even difficult to get a broom. Alas, if you can really cure me, I can give you a tablet and pray!"
"Sister-in-law is serious." Gu Yezhou smiled, "To be honest, your disease will not be cured for a while..."
"That's another bell doctor!" Zeng Feixia rushed to interrupt and secretly blinked at Gu Yezhou, "We are different. Our master is the most famous miracle doctor in the world! Sister-in-law, you must have heard of our master's name? Everyone knows it in the world. He even invites him to see a doctor in the palace. His best skill is to treat joint swelling and pain like you, which is the medicine that will last! If you take our medicine, it will be useless, you will suck my face! Really!"
The old woman was even more happy: "Look at what you said, how could you be like that? If it is really cured..."
"It will definitely be cured! I'll bring you the medicine now. Once you take it, it will take effect immediately!" After that, he took out a tiger bone Anshen Pill from his arms and handed it to the old woman, but was snatched by Gu Yezhou and said, "Don't take medicine for you to treat my sister-in-law with acupuncture."
Gu Yezhou knew that the tiger bone Anshen Pills of Zeng Feisong and his sisters were added with mandala, which could have anesthesia, so after taking it, it might really relieve the pain temporarily, but mandala is highly toxic and something will happen if it is not done properly. It is not the right medicine, so he stopped her.
Zeng Feixia didn't know why he didn't let him sell medicine, and what else he wanted to say. Gu Yezhou had already taken out the golden needle and looked at her: "Don't worry, senior brother has a way! You can cure the disease without taking medicine."
After saying that, Gu Yezhou had not waited for Zeng Feixia to react and had already stabbed the golden needle into the woman's palm Yangchi, Wrist Valley, Yangxi and other acupoints. Zeng Feixia saw that he was confident, so she pressed her dissatisfaction with him and looked at him with acupuncture.
Soon, the woman said that the acupuncture area felt sore and swollen, which was so angry. Gu Yezhou began to use medium-weak stimulation, and then left the needle for a while and started the needle.
The woman moved her palm in surprise: "Huh? It doesn't seem to hurt so much! It's really amazing."
Zeng Feixia glanced at Gu Yezhou quickly, her eyes full of praise, and she said with a palm: "Of course! I told you all. We can cure your disease once. Now, do you believe it? However, acupuncture is only a temporary relief from the pain. If you want to truly cure it, you have to take medicine." As she said that, she took out her own tiger bone Anshen Pill.
Gu Yezhou quickly said, "I have medicine here, I'll use mine." After that, he took out the medicine bottle from the package, poured a pill, which was analgesic pill, which was also a testimony, and handed it to the woman. The woman quickly took it. She looked at Zeng Feixia nervously: "This medicine..."
"This medicine is not sold for money, don't worry!" Zeng Feixia smiled and said, "This is a good medicine. The medicines inside are very expensive. In addition to tiger bones, my pills also include Salvia miltiorrhiza, Yuanzhi, Acorus granulum, sulfur, Codonopsis pilosula, Ophiopogon japonicus, Schisandra chinensis, Yejiao, Dragon Teeth, etc. I spent money on these medicines, but the money was only thirty cents in total. This is my capital. Why do you think it is so expensive? That's right, there are ginseng in it! - Anyone with ginseng is very expensive, right? Senior brother?"
Before Gu Yezhou could speak, Zeng Feixia continued, "It's very expensive. However, sister-in-law, you are kind-hearted and have helped us so much. How can we give you this price? I'll give you half of it! This fraction is enough to offset the money of your green onion. Don't you ask for two cents? I'll pay you five cents! How about this discount, you only need ten cents! Isn't it true that my little sister is loyal enough? I'll sell our ancestral tiger bones..., that's what Anshen Pills are sold to you, hehe! It's not the tiger bones inside me! Tiger bones, that's what I got from fighting the tiger with all my might..."
As he spoke, he talked endlessly about the words of playing tricks. Even Gu Yezhou was trapped in this style, and this woman was of course no exception. She opened her mouth and listened to her fooling around, and was surrounded by her words. She couldn't lose face without paying money. In the end, she had to tremble and took out a purse from her arms, counting ten cents and giving it to Zeng Feixia.
Zeng Feixia quickly took it and praised the woman's kindness again. Then she used a color to look at Gu Yezhou and signaled that she could leave.
Gu Yezhou ignored it and said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, your bone numbness needs to be cured to be honest. Acupuncture alone is not so effective. So, I will prescribe a prescription for you, and you can take the medicine yourself. As long as you insist on taking it, it will definitely be cured!"
The woman said with a bitter face: "It's useless for you to write a prescription for me. My man is helping people with his life. His family is very poor and he has no money to get medicine. He can only be followed like this."
Gu Yezhou was stunned for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I can treat you with acupuncture, which can also be cured, but it may take longer. Every time I give you acupuncture meal, once a day, it should be effective in half a month. To be completely cured, it may take about three months. Do you think it's OK?"
When Zeng Feixia heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, my senior brother is an enthusiastic person. His medical skills are the best among the hundreds of our senior brothers. He is the master's introductory disciple. You have already obtained the true teachings of my master. You saw it just now. He only had a few golden needles on your wrist, and your hands would not hurt. If you stabbed you like this every day, your hands would not hurt. After three months, it would be all cured! How about it? Don't you want to?"
The woman smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to, I dare not think about it. I..., I don't have much money..."
"No need for too much money, just..."
"Two Wen!" Gu Yezhou raised his finger and said first. Zeng Feixia glared at him fiercely. Gu Yezhou seemed not to see it, and then said, "Don't you have to rush to say ok. Wait until tonight, isn't your bone numb the most powerful at night? You can feel it yourself to see if it's effective again. I'll come again tomorrow. If you think the effect is not good, and you close the door and don't see me, I will walk away with tactfulness. OK?"
The woman looked at Gu Yezhou with some anxiety: "Every time, it's only only two words?"
"Yes! I don't have to take other medicines, and I won't sell you other pills, really!"
"Then..." the woman moved her palms and finally said, "Okay..."
"Then that's it! - By the way, what do you call it?"
"My surname is Pu, and I call me Aunt Pu."
"Okay, Aunt Pu, I'll see you tomorrow."
Gu Yezhou stood up and said goodbye.
The two went out and walked forward and turned a hutong. Zeng Feixia then gave Gu Yezhou a thumbs up: "No, you will still be lying around to make money. This method is good. Even if you treat it for half a month, it will be useless and you will earn thirty cents. It's great."
Gu Yezhou said: "I was not lying to her. I can really cure her bone numbness. I only have acupuncture and no medicine."
"Is that true?" Zeng Feixia looked at him with a smile, obviously not believing his words. She said: "No matter whether it is true or not, it's good to make money anyway. - Why didn't you let me use my pill just now? I was afraid that I wouldn't give it to you if I made money?"
"No, there is mandala in your pill. That thing is very poisonous. If you don't do it, something will happen."
Zeng Feixia then looked at Gu Yezhou very seriously: "How do you know what we have in our medicine?"
"It's very simple. Your pills have nothing but this mandala. The pills are just kneaded with flour, so it's easy to distinguish them."
Zeng Feixia said embarrassedly: "Brother, your medical skills are really good, and we can't hide them from you. However, no matter how good your medical skills are, you won't make money. For example, just now, you shouldn't say that her illness will not be cured for a while. This is the most feared patient. Once you say this, he will immediately lose confidence in your medical skills, because no patient does not want to cure the disease. As a doctor, you must accommodate their idea. Of course, I don't know that you have this foreshadowing for three consecutive months, so I was so nervous just now."
Gu Yezhou nodded: "I understand, I will pay attention in the future. - By the way, how do you know that this woman suffers from bone numbness? Her hands were always shrouded in her sleeves."
"I don't know." Zeng Feixia said with a smile.
"Then why did you talk about her disease?"
Zeng Feixia looked at him mysteriously: "Do you really want to know?"
"Um!"
"I will tell you five cents. This is the key to this trip!"
Gu Yezhou smiled bitterly: "You eat my three meals a day and you still need to seek my medical treatment?"
"I'm willing to fight and be beaten! I won't force it."
"Okay," Gu Yezhou smiled helplessly and shook his head, "I'll just treat it as a teaching fee. After that."
