Old Man Xue and his wife nodded: "Young man, I didn't expect that you also know medical skills!"
"More or less! Master, I can treat you!" Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly.
"Can you cure it?" Old Man Xue was surprised.
"In addition to heart disease, the complications caused by your diabetes include chronic nephritis and cholecystitis. I know Chinese medicine, and these are all minor ailments!"
Old man Xue and his wife were surprised and happy, but then they looked suspicious: "Young man, you are not lying to us, are you?" After all, Ye Zhiqiu is too young, even if he is studying Chinese medicine, he is just getting started at most.
"Old lady, you have emphysema and you had heart bypass surgery two years ago, right?" Ye Zhiqiu suddenly turned to look at the old lady.
The two of them were shocked: "How do you know? Are you really a miracle doctor?" They knew that some top miracle doctors could see the lesions directly from a person's face without taking a pulse.
"Old man, now we are saved!" The old lady was extremely happy.
"We have gone to major hospitals across the country. Although some veteran Chinese doctors can see the real condition of the disease, no matter whether acupuncture or medicine, we can't completely cure it! We can only rely on Western medicine to maintain it!"
"Fortunately, my children are filial and they earn enough money. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to afford medical expenses!"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly: "Famous doctors each have their own methods. Many people specialize in a few and are not so good at others! My treatment is also relatively simple, acupuncture plus a few doses of decoction. Pay attention to rest and don't overdo it. Just work hard and you’ll be fine!”
"Young man, I don't ask for much, nor do I ask for a complete recovery. I don't need drugs to control the condition, and I will be satisfied if the condition no longer worsens!" Old Man Xue said.
"As long as you can cure me! I will give you this cricket cage!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and shook his head: "Old man, these are two different things! There is no necessary connection between me treating you and whether you sell me antiques!"
Old Man Xue said: "I know. But how much is my life worth? Is it worth one million? This gourd is used as a medical fee. I can't accept your favor in vain without even paying the medical fee." ?”
Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly and asked the old man and the old lady to sit down on the sofa next to them. He stretched out his hand, touched the pulse of Old Man Xue's left wrist, and then switched to his right hand to make a diagnosis.
Ye Zhiqiu became more aware. He took out the silver needle box from his arms, took out more than a dozen silver needles, circulated his true energy, and quickly inserted them into the large points of Old Man Xue's body.
After a few minutes, Old Xue's originally pale face gradually became rosy, and his breathing became easier.
Ye Zhiqiu checked the old lady's pulse again: "Old lady, I will also give you acupuncture and a few more decoctions. I guarantee that emphysema and heart disease will never recur again!"
The old lady nodded happily: "Thank you, young man!"
Ye Zhiqiu pinched out a few more silver needles and inserted them into the old lady's chest, back, arms, shoulders and other acupuncture points.
After a minute or two, I saw thin beads of sweat gradually forming on Mrs. Xue's forehead, and her mental state was getting better and better.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't say anything. The fat man felt bored and walked around the courtyard but didn't find anything good.
Ten minutes later, Ye Zhiqiu looked at the time and saw Old Man Xue again, full of energy, his face flushed, and his whole body dripping with sweat. Ye Zhiqiu knew that the time was almost up and took off the silver needles one by one for the two of them.
Old Man Xue stood up, waved his hands, made a Tai Chi gesture, and slowly pushed out.
"Young man, I feel much more relaxed all over my body now! Your medical skills are so exquisite! I didn't dare to do too much exercise before! Even doing Tai Chi, I had to move a few beats slower than others, but now it's no problem at all! Haha !”
Mrs. Xue was also very happy: "I also feel that my chest is not as tight as before, and my heart feels much better!"
"This is just starting to work, and it will get better and better in the future!" Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly and took the pen and paper.
He wrote two prescriptions and handed them to the two of them respectively.
"You two follow this recipe and take it for four days. After four days there are no symptoms, you can stop taking the medicine! Of course, if you are not worried, you can also go to the city to find me!"
Ye Zhiqiu gave Old Man Xue his contact information and the location of the antique store.
Old Man Xue held the note and was very excited. He turned around and held the gourd cage in front of Ye Zhiqiu: "Young man, I won't give you the medical fee, so I'll give it to you!"
Ye Zhiqiu wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "Xiaoye, just accept it. We two old guys have spent so much money on going to the hospital for so many years that there are countless cricket cages!"
Ye Zhiqiu no longer refused and took the cage.
"Then I'm not welcome!"
Mrs. Xue suddenly asked: "Xiaoye, do you think I will need to take out the heart bypass after I recover?"
Ye Zhiqiu pondered for a moment: "After it recovers, if it doesn't cause any trouble in the body, it's okay if it doesn't get taken out! If it gets in the way, it's better to take it out!"
Mrs. Xue agreed wholeheartedly.
Old Man Xue suddenly said: "Xiaoye, look at our courtyard, are there any valuable things? You guys are also collecting antiques anyway. If you go on a trip and get a few more pieces, just get as many as you can!"
Ye Zhiqiu stopped being pretentious at the moment. Under the leadership of Old Man Xue, he and Fatty walked around the yard again. However, after a round of inspection, they were disappointed and found nothing of value.
Old Man Xue suddenly shouted: "Xiaoye, don't leave in a hurry! I'll go check out other houses in the village. If there are any antiques you want to buy, just bring them here!"
Ye Zhiqiu hesitated: "Isn't this not good?"
The fat man quietly reached out and poked him, implying that he was like this, why not do it?
Sure enough, Old Man Xue also said: "There's nothing wrong with it! We are moving anyway. Even if we don't sell those old things to you, we still have to sell them to others. Who should we give them to?"
Old Man Xue said and strode away. Old Mrs. Xue poured two cups of tea for Ye Zhiqiu and Fatty. Ten minutes later, Old Xue led dozens of villagers in.
Most of these people are elderly people in their fifties or sixties, with only four or five middle-aged people in their forties, each carrying various things.
"You two collect antiques? Do you think I'm worth it?"
Everyone gathered around.
A woman in her fifties opened a cloth bag and saw dozens of various ancient coins inside. Qianlong Tongbao has the most, and there are four or five Yuan Datou.
The fat man's eyes were shining and he turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the pile of coins without leaving any trace, and shook his head.
The most valuable Yuan Datou is from the 8th year of the Republic of China. The other three editions, from the 3rd, 9th and 10th years of the Republic of China, are in large numbers and are worth only a few hundred to thousands of yuan.
Unless it is a rare edition, or a wrong or deviating edition, it has collection value.
"Auntie, all your ancient coins are worthless!"
