Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Nan Rongyuanzhi started to officially practice medicine in the village. Zhou Xiaonan was ordered around by him, but at the same time he also learned a lot of real skills.

Zhou Xiaonan had just sent away a patient and hadn’t even finished yawning when another one came.

They were an elderly couple, and I could tell at first glance that the patient was the old woman. Her face was sallow, her eyes were dull, and she walked weakly.

Nan Rongyuanzhi changed his usual serious and stern expression, and asked gently with a smile:

"Old man, what's wrong with you?"

The old man answered helpfully:

"Doctor, my wife has been feeling weak after waking up from sleep for two years. She can't sleep well at night and has no appetite. We have seen all the doctors in this city, but they all give different opinions. So far, there is no definitive answer.

Our family has been in a terrible state over the past two years. We have almost spent all our money, and the situation has not only not improved, but has become even worse.

Now she doesn’t even want to talk anymore. I’m worried that one day she’ll be too tired to even breathe, and then she’ll never wake up again…”

At the end, his voice was choked with sobs and tears welled up in his eyes.

Nan Rongyuanzhi comforted him:

"Don't worry, there must be a reason. We can slowly find it. Come, ma'am, please give me your hand. I'll feel your pulse.

"Little Nan, come here and rub your left hand, we'll switch hands later."

No one spoke for a while, and the scene was so quiet that even breathing could be heard. Because of this, Zhou Xiaonan really felt that the old woman was almost out of breath.

After the two of them took Zhou Xiaonan's pulse, his expression became very solemn, while Nan Rongyuanzhi remained calm.

Zhou Xiaonan was extremely puzzled. Could it be that his diagnosis was wrong? This was clearly a sign of exhaustion? !

Nan Rongyuanzhi said:

"Old man, heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. If you don't let go of yourself, even the Great Luo Immortal can't save you!"

The old man beside him didn't understand what was going on.

"Doctor, what do you mean? What's wrong with your heart? Is there something wrong with my old lady's heart?"

Nan Rongyuanzhi shook his head and did not answer directly but asked:

"You two are so old, why don't your children come with you?"

The old woman, who had been unresponsive, stiffened visibly, and her hands on the table clenched into fists. If you look closely, you can see that her whole body is shaking slightly.

The old man sighed and said in a hoarse voice:

"Two years ago, the child got angry with his family, thinking that we were controlling them too much, so he moved away with his wife and daughter. He has not been willing to come back to see us since then."

"Can you tell me the details? What did you do to make your son unbearable?"

The old man showed anger on his face and said impatiently:

"Why are you asking about this? What does this have to do with my illness? If you can't see me, just tell me. I don't have the time to waste on you!"

These words were too harsh to hear, and Zhou Xiaonan could not help but frown. Just as she was about to step forward to argue a few words, Nan Rongyuanzhi stopped her with a look.

"Old man, I think this is related to your wife's illness, so it's better not to hide it. If I'm not mistaken, your wife should have started to get sick after your son moved away, right?"

Before Nan Rongyuanzhi finished speaking, the old woman's body trembled even more violently, and even her teeth were chattering. Coupled with her skinny face, Zhou Xiaonan felt uneasy.

Xuanyuan Yan was originally sitting far away, writing something with a pen, but at some point he couldn't help but prick up his ears and start listening.

The old woman suddenly said excitedly:

"The son I raised with so much hardship actually abandoned his parents for a woman! He actually just walked away and didn't care about my life or death anymore! I, I..."

The woman was so excited that she started rolling her eyes.

Nan Rongyuanzhi quickly pulled out the silver needle and pierced her fingertips, and soon a few drops of dark red blood flowed out. Zhou Xiaonan helped press the acupuncture points on the back of her neck until the woman calmed down.

Now that the conversation had begun, the old man told the story in detail, while the old woman was already sobbing.

The matter was not complicated. The old couple was disgusted with their daughter-in-law for giving birth to three daughters in a row and losing hope of having a grandson, so they instigated their son to divorce his wife and remarry.

There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. They think this is natural. As for why they don't take concubines, no decent family would let their daughters be concubines, and the old couple would not look down on their daughters who come from ordinary families.

However, the couple was deeply in love and refused to agree to anything. Finally, they were forced into a corner and left home.

The old lady was a strong-willed person who always kept her word. She had lived a smooth life for most of her life, but in the end, she was abandoned by her son. She couldn't stand it and ended up like this.

After understanding the truth, Nan Rongyuanzhi took out a pen and paper and wrote a prescription. Zhou Xiaonan, who was standing nearby, watched with his pupils instantly dilated.

Thinking he had seen it wrong, he rubbed his eyes hard and tried to look again, but the prescription had already been handed to the old man.

The old man was dressed in a scholar's robe and it was obvious that he was well-educated, so there was no need to worry at all that the boy might not understand.

"Give in? Is this a prescription? I say, you are not a quack, are you taking me for a fool?!"

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yan, who was sitting far away, raised his eyebrows and was very surprised.

"Old man, you read it right. The prescription I wrote is 'submission'. Your wife is not ill physically, but her heart is troubled. Since you value your son so much, why don't you do it if the problem can be solved by submission?"

The old lady was also very angry and said in a sharp voice:

"Why should I give in? I am his biological mother. If he has the guts, just watch me get pissed off to death. Just don't regret it!"

Zhou Xiaonan couldn't help but say:

"Grandma, have you noticed that your voice gets louder when you mention your son?"

She was filled with emotion in her heart. It seemed that her medical skills were not even the tip of the iceberg. The pulse she had just diagnosed was definitely a major mistake. But why? It shouldn't be like this?

The two old men were stunned after hearing what Zhou Xiaonan said.

"Old woman, you really have the strength to speak! Let's go and apologize to the child. We did go too far. At worst, we can let our son take a concubine, and if a son is born, he will be raised by his wife. It's the same.

Don't be so hard on your body, nothing is more important than life!"

After that, he put down the medical fee, didn't say hello to anyone, and directly took the old lady out, persuading her all the time as he walked.

When Zhou Xiaoxi saw the two of them leave, he immediately asked impatiently:

"Grandpa Divine Doctor, please tell me quickly. That person's pulse is clearly a sign of exhaustion, why do you say she is not sick? And that prescription, will it really work?"

Nan Rongyuanzhi stroked his beard and said:

"Little Nan, you must remember today's lesson. As doctors, we can't just prescribe medicine. Many times, a person's physical illness is caused by mental illness, and we must get to the bottom of the disease when treating it.

The old woman's pulse was indeed very similar to that of a dying person, but once you become more experienced you will find that there is actually a big difference between the two.

You, don't be complacent just because you are a little smart, you still have a lot to learn!"

Zhou Xiaonan said with a smile:

"You are right. How about I officially become your disciple on the 28th of this month? My mother specially asked someone to calculate this date, and she said everything will go smoothly!"

"Humph, if you don't mention it again, I won't accept you as my disciple. I don't want you!"
