After Shen Tianshu entered the Zen room, he left Mingyu here and went to the bedroom next door through the secret door. After changing his clothes, he entered the medical center through the secret passage.
It was not yet time for the hospital to open its doors every day, so she called Zhang Muqiu directly: "Mu Qiu, grab your things and let's go to Liu's house to have a look.
After saying that, she turned to Gao Shan and told Gao Shan: "Send someone to deliver a message to Shopkeeper Huang and ask him to come for a follow-up consultation today."
Over at the Liu family, Mrs. Liu got up early in the morning as usual. She washed herself first, cooked porridge in the pot, steamed a few multigrain rolls and pieces of sweet potatoes, and then went to help her son get dressed and wash up. .
Old man Liu wanted to go out to do some work, so he first filled a bowl of porridge, took a multi-grain roll, and ate the moldy tofu made by Mrs. Liu herself. After breakfast, he went out like a storm.
Mrs. Liu mashed the steamed sweet potatoes into puree, chopped some vegetables carefully, mixed them into the porridge and cooked for a while, until the rice in the porridge was cooked until it was soft and mixed with the vegetable leaves and sweet potato puree. After that, he fed it to Liu Chuan one spoonful at a time.
After Liu Chuan's skin hardened, his movements were greatly restricted.
The fingers cannot bend, and almost no fine movements can be made.
The skin on his face was tight, making it difficult for him to even open his mouth and complete chewing movements, which forced him to eat only some soft liquid food.
When Mrs. Liu is free, she will feed her son like she did today. When she is busy, she can only give him a thin bamboo tube and let him suck and eat slowly.
As soon as she finished feeding Liu Chuan, there was a knock on the door outside.
Mrs. Liu quickly pulled out the handkerchief and wiped her son's mouth, picked up the dishes and put them in the kitchen, quickly went out to open the door, and wiped her hands vigorously on her apron.
"Jin..." Mrs. Liu thought it was Jin who came to deliver medicine.
Although it was for Hou Biao to act in a play before, through those few contacts, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jin hit it off immediately, and there was always endless things to talk about when the two of them got together.
Later, Jin simply took over the job of delivering medicine to Gao Xiuer. She often came over with needlework and chatted with Mrs. Liu while working, staying there all morning.
Mrs. Liu was originally a talkative and laughing person. In recent years, due to her son's illness, she had to be trapped at home and unable to leave, and her neighbors did not like to visit her home.
Now that she finally met a friend who she could chat with and didn't dislike her family, she was even happier than the Jin family and looked forward to her coming over every day.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the door today, standing outside the door were Mrs. Tong holding a medicine bowl and Zhang Muqiu carrying a medicine box.
"Ms. Tong is here." Madam Liu was inexplicably surprised and quickly reached out to take the medicine bowl in her hand, "You are a pulse diagnosing hand, how can you do such a rough job!"
Shen Tianshu handed the medicine bowl to Mrs. Liu and asked as he walked in: "How do you feel after taking medicine these days?"
"It's useful, it's useful!" Mrs. Liu immediately said excitedly after hearing this, "Chuan'er said that eating it is effective, and I also think it is effective.
“He used to be very stiff when he woke up every morning, but he improved a lot after taking the medicine you prescribed for a few days.
"Besides, he always complained about pain in his bones and joints all over his body, and he would often feel pain in bed alone without stopping. I could only help him apply hot compresses to relieve the pain.
"But since I took the medicine you prescribed, the pain is not as painful as before..."
It's no wonder that Mrs. Liu is so excited. You must know that Liu Chuan has been taking the medicine for less than half a month. The effect is visible to the naked eye, and it is much more effective than the doctors and medicines he spent a lot of money on before.
Moreover, Mrs. Tong had reminded them before that Liu Chuan had to be prepared for a protracted battle with his illness.
At first, Mrs. Liu was very worried that Mrs. Tong would be like those doctors in the past. She just decided to give it a try because she didn't have to spend money.
Now that she had taken the medicine for less than half a month, it was already taking effect. How could she be unhappy?
So not only has the smile on Mrs. Liu's face increased recently, but Old Man Liu has also become more energetic in doing things than before.
People live their whole lives for the sake of future generations. Now that he sees the hope that his son's condition will improve, Old Man Liu feels that hope has been rekindled in his heart.
However, Shen Tianshu seemed dissatisfied with the effect and asked, "What about the skin on the body and face? Have there been any changes?"
"This..." Mrs. Liu didn't pay much attention to this situation at all, and could only shake her head to express that she didn't know.
Shen Tianshu didn't ask any more questions. He went into the room and asked about Liu Chuan's situation in person. He carefully inspected the condition of his face, neck, fingers and other parts. From time to time, he pressed his skin with his fingers to feel its elasticity, and even wanted to Try to see if you can pinch and lift the skin.
Liu Chuan has never had such contact with a woman other than his mother in his life.
Although the other party didn't use any incense or sachets, there was a very clean and warm smell mixed with some medicinal fragrance, which made people smell particularly reassuring.
He didn't know whether he was nervous or ashamed, but Liu Chuan's whole body was stiff and he felt his face getting hot.
It wasn't until Shen Tianshu tried to pinch his cheek that he finally couldn't bear it and hid back. He lowered his eyes slightly in embarrassment and said, "I can't pinch it..."
"It's okay, don't be nervous, I'm just checking." Shen Tianshu said softly, taking out the pulse pillow and placing it on the table, "Put your hand up and I'll check your pulse."
Because Liu Chuan's skin was hard, his pulse was difficult to feel.
Shen Tianshu's fingertips kept changing positions on his wrist, trying to feel his true pulse more accurately.
Liu Chuan felt that his face was about to burn up. He could only be glad that outsiders could not tell that he was in such a situation.
After Shen Tianshu carefully diagnosed his pulse, he found that although Liu Chuan said that he felt better after taking the medicine, in fact, there was not much change in the pulse condition. It could be said that the situation was exactly the same as last time.
The questions that had been lingering before came to mind again, and Shen Tianshu frowned subconsciously.
Mrs. Liu, who was watching all this, became nervous instantly and asked cautiously: "Ms. Tong, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Only then did Shen Tianshu come to his senses, quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay, there's nothing wrong with it, but I thought that after taking the medicine these days, it would have some improvement on my skin."
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. For her, the skin problem was the second most important thing.
"It would be great if it can make him feel less uncomfortable. As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes away like a thread!"
"Yes, you are right to think so." Shen Tianshu was keenly aware of the change in Mrs. Liu's mentality and praised, "I am too impatient."
