Chapter 39 Maggie's Father's Strange Illness
There is a brick and tile bungalow on the side of the road. The house is a bit dilapidated. A yellow dog squatted at the door. When he saw Zeng Meiqi, he immediately shook his tail and ran up.
"Lulu!" Zeng Meiqi shouted at the yellow dog and reached out to touch the yellow dog's head.
A woman in her fifties walked out of the door, with pale hair, simple clothes and relatively old-fashioned. She was Zeng Meiqi's mother.
"Mom, he is the colleague Xu Yuntian I told you. He is here to treat dad." Zeng Meiqi said to her mother.
Zeng Meiqi's mother showed joy and hurriedly greeted: "Maggie, please ask your colleagues to sit in the house."
Xu Yuntian followed Zeng Meiqi into the living room. The living room was dimly lit and the walls of the living room were covered with newspapers. The living room was an old-style eight-immortal table. The feet of the table were broken and the table was a bit crooked.
Zeng Meiqi's mother immediately poured tea in the teacup, "Meiqi's colleague, please drink tea." She put the teacup in front of Xu Yuntian.
"Auntie, you're welcome. I'd better treat my uncle first." Xu Yuntian said with a smile.
"Maggie's father is in the house, I'll call him out now." Maggie's mother immediately walked into the house.
About two minutes later, a man in his fifties walked out. He looked pale and gray, and looked particularly old.
"Dad, he is my colleague Xu Yuntian who I told you. He has learned medical skills and is here to see you today." Zeng Meiqi hurriedly introduced.
"Hello, Uncle Zeng." Xu Yuntian greeted.
After greeting Zeng Meiqi's father, he sat down opposite Xu Yuntian and placed his hands on the table. Xu Yuntian was shocked when he saw Zeng Meiqi's father's hands.
Zeng Meiqi's father's hands were so weird. There were many bumps on his hands, and his fingers were wrapped in bumps. His whole hand seemed to be wearing a strange-shaped glove.
Xu Yuntian grabbed Zeng Meiqi's father's wrist and took his pulse. The pulse was abnormal, like a chronic poisoning pulse.
"Uh, Uncle Zeng, how long has your hand become like this?" Xu Yuntian asked.
"It started about a year ago. At first, my hands were itchy, but later I grew pimples. There were more and more pimples, and they were not itchy or painful. I have visited several hospitals, but the doctors didn't know what the disease was." Zeng Meiqi's father said.
Xu Yuntian let go of his hand, "Uncle Zeng, have you eaten anything special before your hand gets sick?" Xu Yuntian asked.
Zeng Meiqi's father frowned, thought hard, and shook his head and said, "I didn't eat anything special. I'm just a simple meal a day, so how can I eat special things!"
Zeng Meiqi's mother, who was standing beside her, also said: "Our family income is not high, and her family life mainly depends on Meiqi's salary to work. Her father is not in good health and can't find much money outside, I..."
Zeng Meiqi's mother didn't study much. She used to work as a cleaner in Tianyu Group. Later, Zeng Meiqi's father suffered from a strange disease and she was fired.
Xu Yuntian frowned slightly. Zeng Meiqi's family lived entirely on Zeng Meiqi's salary, but her salary was not high, only more than 3,000 yuan a month, and she had to support her brother to go to school. The family of four was very difficult.
This was the first time that Zeng Meiqi's father's strange disease Xu Yuntian encountered it. He thought of various strange diseases recorded in medical books in his mind, and finally found records similar to this strange disease in a medical book.
"Uncle Zeng, have you encountered any strange animals or plants before your hands got sick?" Xu Yuntian asked.
Zeng Meiqi's father frowned and thought. After about three minutes, he suddenly said, "I remember, before my hands were sick, I dug a fleshy thing in the field. I was curious and took it home."
"Oh, what is that fleshy thing like?" Xu Yuntian asked hurriedly.
Xu Yuntian listened carefully, and he flipped through the anecdotes he had seen in his mind, and soon found something similar to what Zeng Meiqi's father described. It was called Du Taiyi, which was a poisonous creature.
Xu Yuntian nodded, "Uncle Zeng, where is that fleshy thing now?" Xu Yuntian asked.
"I studied for a long time but didn't know what it was. It smelled bad at night, and I threw it away the next morning." Zeng Meiqi's father said.
"Oh, where did you throw it?" Xu Yuntian asked hurriedly. He was worried that Poison Taiyi would poison other people.
"I was still in the stinky ditch at the intersection in front. Later, I passed by and went to see it specifically. The thing was gone." Zeng Meiqi's father frowned.
"Xu Yuntian, did my father touch that thing? His hand was infected by some virus, and it turned out like this?" Zeng Meiqi asked.
Xu Yuntian nodded, "That's right, your father was caused by touching this thing. This thing is called Du Taiyi, and it is full of poison. Although it is not very toxic, its poison penetrates very strongly and can penetrate into the internal organs."
"The poisoned person first had bumps on his hands, which gradually developed into the whole body. Finally, bumps in his internal organs became a monster..." Xu Yuntian said.
After saying this, he frightened Zeng Meiqi's family. Zeng Meiqi's mother complained: "Look, you are all curious, this time it's great..."
Zeng Meiqi's father lowered his head, "I, I don't know that thing is poisonous. I'm thinking about what good thing it is."
Zeng Meiqi hurriedly pulled Xu Yuntian's arm and said, "Yuntian, do you have a way to treat my father's strange disease?"
Xu Yuntian nodded and said, "There is a solution, but it requires a medicine introduction, which is difficult to collect."
"What medicine introduction?" Zeng Meiqi asked anxiously.
"Morning dew requires five cups of morning dew, and this dew cannot touch iron and wooden instruments, and can only be packed with porcelain." Xu Yuntiandao.
Zeng Meiqi said without thinking: "This is easy to deal with. I get up early every morning to collect dew. Five cups of dew will be collected in two days."
Xu Yuntian nodded. Collecting dew was a chore. When he was trapped in the wild, he was thirsty and relied on collecting dew from leaves to quench his thirst. It took him a few hours to collect half a bottle of dew.
Just because of this, Zeng Meiqi is a very filial girl. Although she looks very ordinary, she is much better than those women who look very glamorous but are occupied by interests in her heart.
Xu Yuntian said to Zeng Meiqi: "Maggie, go get paper and pen, I will prescribe the medicine for your father."
Zeng Meiqi opened the bag, took out the paper and pen, and placed it in front of Xu Yuntian. Xu Yuntian picked up the pen and wrote down the prescription on the paper.
"Maggie, there are two prescriptions in total. This prescription is taken internally, decocted, twice a day in the morning and evening. This is used externally. Make it into powder, mix it into a paste with dew, and apply it to your father's hands. For nine consecutive days, your father's strange disease will be cured." Xu Yuntian explained.
