"Shitou, open your mouth wide and show your aunt."

"ah....."

Yinuo looked at the stone seriously and made a gesture of opening his mouth.

It was the first time that Shitou saw a doctor coaxing someone like this. He no longer felt nervous and opened his mouth like Yinuo: "Ah..."

She praised: "Great, what a good boy."

"Stick out your tongue and let me see, slightly..."

"A little..." Shi Tou couldn't help but imitate her movements.

Yinuo smiled, and Gu Yun beside him also smiled easily.

After observing for a while, Yinuo sat down again: "Stretch out your left hand, I will feel your pulse."

As Yang Lei stretched out his hand, she placed her own white and slender fingers on his wrist, gently stroked his pulse, and carefully felt every beat of the pulse. After a while, she pulled up Yang Lei's right hand and examined it.

Her movements were smooth and her expression was serious, causing everyone to hold their breath and watch her.

After taking the pulse, Yinuo looked up and said to Gu Yun: "Sister Yun, I will tell you the symptoms I observed."

"The tongue is light red with teeth marks on the edges and a thin yellow coating."

"His pulse is stringy and thin."

"The top of the lump was hard as a rock, but the bottom was swollen and soft."

"Do some doctors think this is a nucleus? And some think it should be a carbuncle (yong jie, both pronounced with the first tone)."

When Gu Yun heard the symptoms she described, he was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Yes, yes, you are right."

You know, from the time they met until now, she had never told Yinuo about Yang Lei's condition, nor had she shown her the medical records left by the doctor. It was her ability to see all this.

"Most doctors think it's carbuncle."

"Oh, sister Nuo, you are really amazing."

In response to Gu Yun's praise, Yinuo just smiled faintly: "It shouldn't have been this big at the beginning, it was just swollen, but after two days, it became bigger and bigger."

"And the lump becomes hard, red and purple, and painful."

Gu Yun nodded quickly: "Sister Nuo, you are right."

"That's why my father also said it was a boil."

"But how can a boil be so big?"

“They are also confused.”

Although she did not study medicine, her family is a family of medicine. Her father is a doctor, and now her elder brother also follows her father to work as a doctor in Gushengtang. She has been influenced by him since she was a child, so naturally she knows a little bit.

Yinuo nodded: "This is definitely not a boil!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the housekeeper announced outside: "Master, Madam, the uncle is here."

After a while, Gu Feng arrived in the yard, followed closely by his servant carrying a medicine box.

Yinuo also thought that the timing was great, she could discuss this with her brother Gu Yun, so she stood up and went out with Gu Yun to greet them.

"How's the stone?"

They greeted each other and got to know each other, and Gu Feng asked calmly.

Gu Yun seemed to have seen the backbone: "The lump of the stone has become softer and it itches. Brother, please take a look."

Gu Feng washed his hands before walking to the bedside. He touched and looked at it like Yinuo had just done, and then wiped his hands.

The two men's actions were very consistent, and even Teng Ke and Lieutenant Yang, two laymen, could see that Yinuo was at least a serious doctor.

Gu Yun then said to his elder brother: "Brother, this is Colonel Teng's wife, Yinuo."

"Sister Yinuo is good at medicine. She just examined Shitou and felt that this was not a carbuncle."

After hearing what his sister said, Gu Feng turned his attention to the woman next to her. This woman was slightly plump, with a pretty and fair face. Although she was not wearing silk or satin, she was generous and decent, and her family background should be good.

"Madam, what disease do you think it is?" Gu Feng did not look down on the woman in front of him, but instead treated her with some respect.

There were many female doctors in the Khan's dynasty, but they were rare. Although women studying medicine were not despised here, they were not accepted by many people, especially the older generation.

It's very good that Gu Yun's elder brother can do this.

Yinuo saluted her and said seriously: "Doctor Gu came to see me yesterday. The lump of the stone should still be very solid, but the skin at the bottom has opened a little, right?"

"And after a day, the bottom has softened."

Gu Feng nodded: "That's right, it is true."

"Madam Yi, I wonder what your judgment on this is?"

Yinuo smiled and said, "I don't think this is a boil."

Gu Feng actually had the same idea, but if it wasn’t a boil, then what could it be?

"The symptoms are indeed very similar to those of a boil, with redness, swelling, ulceration, and suppuration."

"It's the same with the stone disease. I believe Doctor Gu has also seen it. Now that it's become soft, it means that the lump has become festered inside and will soon burst."

"I just looked at the prescriptions you wrote before. They are all for topical use to reduce swelling and relieve itching."

"But more than ten days have passed, and it seems that there is no effect."

"This little woman thinks that you are going in the wrong direction."

An expert knows the ins and outs of the matter. After listening to her words, Gu Feng knew that Yinuo was an expert. Regardless of whether she was a female doctor or a female doctor, she did understand medical skills and had her own insights.

"Madam Yi, what do you think?"

Yinuo still said modestly: "I can't say that my opinion is brilliant, but I just have a different view."

"I think it's lymphadenitis."

This was the first time that Gu Feng had heard of this disease, but he also understood that the lady in front of him called the location of the lump a lymph node.

Soon, I heard Yinuo's careful explanation again: "First of all, the pathogens of the two diseases are different. Carbuncle and furuncle are mostly caused by staphylococcal infection. Staphylococcus invades the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, forming acute suppuration, leading to infection around the hair follicles and forming lumps. Lymphadenitis is mainly caused by factors such as qi stagnation, blood stasis and phlegm coagulation."

"Lymphadenitis is related to weak vital energy, poor qi movement, and the formation of phlegm, dampness, blood stasis, and toxins that block the meridians. It involves the liver and spleen, and poor emotions are also influencing factors."

"One is caused by external factors, and the other is caused by internal factors."

This is the dialectic of traditional Chinese medicine. You must first know the disease, then understand the symptoms, then explore the cause and pathogen, and finally prescribe the medicine.

Gu Feng and Gu Yun didn't understand what Staphylococcus was, but they knew that the carbuncle Yinuo mentioned was caused by infection, which was true. Gu Feng also took Yang Lei's pulse and saw that his pulse was indeed weak and his liver and spleen were damaged.

Yinuo looked at Gu Yun and asked, "Sister Yun, has Shitou eaten anything since he came back from Zhuangzi?"

"It's something he eats often or particularly likes."

When she asked this, Gu Yun remembered: "Yes, yes, ever since Shitou ate lard residue, he has loved it very much."

"After coming back, he kept asking for snacks."

"I had no choice but to order the kitchen staff to buy ten kilograms of pork fat. After frying the fat, I made the pork fat residue into snacks for him to eat."

“I also use this when I stir-fry cabbage. I have to say, it is really delicious.”

Yinuo smiled helplessly: "Oh, my dear sister, ten kilograms of pork fat, the fried pork fat residue must be two or three kilograms."

"How can the child not get irritated after eating so much?"
