Traveling into the era: I messed with Dr. Xie and got turned on

"Why not?" Isn't depression a disease caused by all kinds of things?

However, people of this era do not have much understanding of depression. As long as someone is suffering from the disease, they will just regard the other person as a lunatic and will not delve into the fact that these people are not crazy, but depressed.

Xie Yan thought that Tang Man said this on purpose to share his burden, so he smiled and shook his head without arguing with her.

As they got closer to Zhangjia Village, Xie Yan became more and more nervous. Seeing that the village was already in front of him, he had to speak out, "Manman, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Tang Man tilted her head and looked at the people around her. "What's wrong?"

"When Captain Zhang sent me and Party Secretary Zhou back last night, he told us that Uncle Zhang's three sons died on the battlefield, leaving only two elderly people at home. Because they are too old to do heavy work, the two elderly people can only do some easy work in the production team. You know, the easier the work, the lower the work points. The two elderly people can only maintain a simple life in their current situation."

"When we in the Xie family encounter this kind of patients, we usually don't charge any fees, so I want to discuss with you whether we can not charge their medical expenses. I know that our current conditions are not good, and we can't help them with other things, but it is not difficult for us not to charge medical expenses."

Tang Man nodded and said, "Of course, you are a descendant of the Xie family, and you should continue the fine traditions of your Xie family."

Xie Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go! Let's finish seeing Mr. Zhang soon so we can go back and cook."

Uncle Zhang and Old Lady Zhang lived in a crooked thatched house with earthen walls. It was obvious that the house had been in disrepair for a long time and was about to collapse. It was even more dilapidated than the cowshed where Xie Yan lived in Litang Brigade.

Old Mrs. Zhang was over eighty years old and her hair was completely white. When she saw Xie Yan coming, she welcomed them in with a smile on her face.

Xie Yan went to the inner room to give acupuncture to Grandpa Zhang. Tang Man was invited by Grandma Zhang to sit in the main room. She raised her head and looked around. The Zhang family's house was indeed very poor and bare. There was nothing in the main room except a shrine and an eight-immortal table.

There are several tablets on the shrine. The three tablets at the front and back should be the children of the two old people. The lives of the three brothers were frozen at the age of 17, one at 20, and one at 23.

The three children died on the battlefield at such a young age. This was a bolt from the blue for Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang. How sad and desperate must they be?

If these three young heroes knew that their death caused their elderly father and mother to live such a miserable old age, how painful and regretful they would be.

Looking at this dilapidated little house, Tang Man felt extremely depressed and a little breathless. She didn't think she was a good person, but every time she saw the families of soldiers living in agony, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Old Mrs. Zhang walked into the main room with trembling hands, holding the enamel cup and placed it in front of Tang Man. "Xiao Tang, come and drink some water."

"Thank you, Grandma Zhang." Tang Man thanked her while reaching out to take the cup handed over by Grandma Zhang. "Grandma Zhang, your hand is..."

"I'm old, and my hands and feet aren't as flexible as before." Old Mrs. Zhang waved her hand indifferently and sat down opposite Tang Man.

"Grandma Zhang, I learned some medical skills from my husband. Can I help you?"

Old Madam Zhang thought Tang Man was just learning medicine from Xie Yan and wanted to try her hand, so she smiled and agreed, "Okay!"

Tang Man stood up and walked over to check on Mrs. Zhang's condition. She then held the old woman's hand, seemingly taking her pulse, but in fact she was inputting her supernatural powers to check on Mrs. Zhang's internal condition.

Just as she thought, Mrs. Zhang suffered from Parkinson's disease, a very common neurological disease that affects many elderly people.

Tang Man subconsciously glanced at the room with the corner of her eye, and felt even more upset.

It is said that a hemp rope breaks at the thinnest part and misfortune favors the unfortunate. This is true. The lives of these two old people are already hard enough, and now it is even worse.

Although the old lady's Parkinson's disease is still in the early stages, her condition is deteriorating rapidly. If not treated in time, she may have trouble getting out of bed soon. Mr. Zhang's cerebral hemorrhage may save his life but there is a high possibility that he will be paralyzed on one side of his body.

Even if Xie Yan's medical skills were extremely advanced and he could use acupuncture to help the old man get out of bed, he probably wouldn't be able to work in the fields again.

By that time, both elderly people have lost the ability to take care of themselves. Who will take care of them and what will happen to their future lives?

Tang Man transferred some supernatural powers to Old Lady Zhang, then took back his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that my skills are still too shallow to diagnose Grandma Zhang's condition. I will let Xie Yan take a look at you later."

Old Mrs. Zhang smiled and waved her hands. "It's okay, it's okay. It's just an old person's illness. No need to see a doctor." "Then I'll go see if Xie Yan is better."

In the room, Xie Yan had already finished giving Mr. Zhang an injection and was sitting beside him, accompanying the old man, waiting for the needle to be removed.

Tang Man stood at the door and called out, "Brother Yan."

"Yeah!" Xie Yan responded and walked out. "What's wrong?"

"Grandma Zhang's hands are shaking badly. I don't think she's in good condition. Go and take her pulse."

"Okay, then Manman, please help me look after Grandpa Zhang first. If anything happens, call me immediately." Xie Yan gave the instructions and strode towards the main hall.

Tang Man walked into the room. Mr. Zhang was still in a semi-comatose state. It was said that he woke up once in the morning, but fell asleep again not long after.

She sat on a stool, placed her hand on Grandpa Zhang's head, and activated her wood-based abilities to heal Grandpa Zhang. As she activated her wood-based abilities, countless green dots lingered around Tang Man's palms, and then slowly followed Tang Man's hands into Grandpa Zhang's brain, repairing his damaged brain.

In order to avoid being discovered, Tang Man did not dare to cure Grandpa Zhang all at once. He just helped Grandpa Zhang repair his brain a little bit and then quickly took back his supernatural powers.

After sitting for a while, Xie Yan came in.

"How is it?" Tang Man asked.

Xie Yan shook his head at Tang Man, not sure whether he hadn't found the cause of the disease or didn't intend to talk about it here.

Tang Man closed her mouth and didn't ask any more questions.

After Xie Yan took out the silver needles and felt the old man's pulse, they left the room together and walked into another room, where Old Mrs. Zhang was lying on the bed with silver needles all over her body.

"Doctor Xie, how is my wife?"

"Don't worry, Grandma Zhang. Grandpa Zhang is doing well today."

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Zhang smiled a little. "Thanks to you, Doctor Xie."

"This is what I should do."

Tang Man suddenly pouted and pulled Xie Yan's arm, "It's almost noon, Brother Yan, I'm hungry."

When Mrs. Zhang heard what Tang Man said, she hurriedly said, "Doctor Xie, I really have nothing to do. Why don't you take out the needle and go back with Xiao Tang earlier?"

"That won't work. You can't remove the needles at will during acupuncture." After saying that, Tang Man looked at Xie Yan and winked at him, "Right! Brother Yan."

"Well! We can't go. Manman, please bear with it for a while. We will go back after we finish giving Grandma Zhang the injection."

"Grandma Zhang and the others also need to eat, so why not just cook here? I happened to buy vegetables and rice today." As she said this, Tang Man gave Xie Yan another look.

Xie Yan immediately understood what Tang Man meant and said, "Okay, then Grandma Zhang will lend you the kitchen."

"But..." Old Mrs. Zhang wanted to say something, but Xie Yan didn't give her the chance. He told Tang Man to look after Old Mrs. Zhang and left.
