Chapter 239 There is a parrot named Tuotuo. Do you still remember it?

After waiting for a long time, it was Yao Er's turn. The housekeeper helped him sit on the chair.

Du Wanwan didn't look up as usual, and was writing something in the registration book.

He habitually instructed: "Sit down, tell me your name, age, hometown, and what's wrong with you."

Yao Er was stunned, and looked at the little girl in front of him. The housekeeper beside him looked unhappy and asked, "Why do you need to report these for the consultation?"

"It will be convenient for future follow-up visits." Du Wanwan raised her eyes and glanced at Yao Er. She felt that his eyes looked a lot like her mother's, but she couldn't tell the rest. "Is it inconvenient to disclose?"

"No." Yao Er waved his hand, asked the housekeeper to stand aside, and replied with a smile, "My name is Yao Er, I'm from Dongchen, my legs hurt, for no reason, it looks fine, but it hurts from time to time."

"Reach out and put it on."

Du Wanwan put down her pen and pointed at the pulse pillow. She thought, I knew you were Yao Er, but I didn't know if you were my uncle Yao Xianqing.

Yao Er put his hand on the pulse pillow without hesitation. Du Wanwan stretched out two fingers and placed them on it. He determined the cause of the disease with just one finger.

This is gout, which is more rheumatic. It should be because the place where I lived in my early years was too humid.

"Sir! Was the place you lived in when you were young very dark and damp? You also loved drinking and eating meat, right? Otherwise, how could you have such a disease?"

"Does Doctor Du know what this disease is?"

Yao Er's eyes brightened. He had consulted many famous doctors in Xilong, Dongchen and Nanjiang, but no one knew what disease he had.

He looks fine, but his legs hurt so badly that sometimes he even wants to cut his legs off.

"Gout is a disease that can only be understood, not explained." Du Wanwan joked with a smile, and then gave Yao Er a very accurate explanation, "There are many causes of gout, which are related to genetics and allergic constitution.

More reasons are that people like to drink alcohol, eat meat and shrimp, live in a humid place, etc. When dampness flows through the meridians to the Yinbai and Jiexi acupoints of the spleen meridian of foot taiyin and the stomach meridian of foot yangming, it turns into heat after a long time, causing spleen and stomach dysfunction, blood uric acid excretion is unfavorable, and the concentration increases, causing unexplained pain.

If other doctors see you, they probably won't be able to find the cause and will just tell you nonsense. You are from Dongchen, and it's not easy for you to come here. I hope to solve your pain once and for all.

I will do acupuncture once today, and once again in three days, for a total of three times. I will not prescribe the medicine for the time being. You don’t need to take it if you don’t feel any pain. You can take it when the pain becomes severe. I will do acupuncture for you first!”

"good!"

Yao Er had no objection, and felt that the girl in front of him was really amazing, knowing that the place where he lived when he was young was humid. At that time, in order to avoid being hunted down, he lived by the sea when he was in Xilong.

As soon as he found something unusual, he jumped on the boat and paddled away. He lived there for more than ten years, and the dampness in his body might have been left over from that time.

"Please follow me."

Du Wanwan stood up, led the man into the examination room, asked him to sit down, told him to roll up his trouser legs, took out a silver needle, and began to prick his legs.

After the acupuncture, she left him sitting alone inside and continued to see other patients.

She would wait until the acupuncture time was up before going in to adjust the needles. She planned to ask after the acupuncture was finished, as her mother had told her.

It’s pointless to ask too early, so ask at the end and give him plenty of time to answer.

After seeing all the patients, Du Wanwan stretched, stood up and went to the examination room. Du Xiuxiu followed behind her, and she also wanted to observe acupuncture.

Now she can diagnose many common diseases and is very good at making pills. She has been practicing acupuncture, using the human acupuncture point model given to her by her elder sister for more than a month.

The eldest sister said that this was not enough and that we had to practice acupuncture on the model for at least three to four months before we could test it on humans.

But you can watch.

Every time the elder sister gave acupuncture to someone, she would follow and watch how she inserted the needle, how she removed the needle, and how she adjusted the angle of the silver needle.

Yao Er had been sitting here for almost half an hour. When he saw Du Wanwan come in, he immediately talked about his feelings after the acupuncture.

Du Wanwan asked Du Xiuxiu behind her: "Have you remembered everything?"

Du Xiuxiu replied: "I remember it."

"Very good!" Du Wanwan looked at Yao Er, flicked the needle with her fingers, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"My ankle is sore, tight, and painful, like a needle prick."

Du Wanwan flicked another silver needle with her finger: "What about now? What does it feel like?"

"Numb! Like an ant bite."

Yao Er looked at the little girl in front of him and felt that Doctor Du's skill of flicking the needle with his fingers was amazing. It was the first time he had seen it.

"Your gout is not very serious, and tophi have not yet formed. From now on, avoid alcohol, fatty meat, and seafood. As long as you can avoid these foods, and after acupuncture and medication, you will be cured in a while."

Yao Er was overjoyed: "Really? It's okay to abstain from certain foods, I will definitely follow your instructions."

Du Wanwan nodded slightly and told Du Xiuxiu: "You will stop the needles today and see how your technique has improved."

"Um!"

Du Xiuxiu agreed and stepped forward. She quickly pulled out the silver needles one by one and put them into a plate beside her. She would take them to the backyard for disinfection later.

The elder sister said that after using the silver needles, they must be boiled in boiling water to sterilize and disinfect them before they can be taken out for continued use next time, otherwise there will be a risk of cross-infection.

After the needles were collected, Du Wanwan touched Du Xiuxiu's head and encouraged her: "You did a good job, keep up the good work."

"Yes! Thank you, big sister!"

Du Xiuxiu felt very happy to be praised by her elder sister. She carried the plate out of the examination room with a smile on her face. She was going to the backyard to disinfect the silver needle.

Her elder sister was the greatest benefactor in her life. Not only did she pick her up from Jing County, she also gave her a home and taught her medical skills so that she could practice medicine and help patients in the future.

Yao Er looked at the interaction between the two sisters with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He put down his trouser legs and asked, "Doctor Du! My disease is difficult to treat. How much silver do you need for the consultation?"

Du Wanwan looked at him and said with a smile, "That depends on whether you can answer a question for me. If you answer well, I won't charge you a penny. If you don't answer well, we can discuss the consultation fee later."

"Oh?" Yao Er habitually dragged out the last word, looked at the little girl in front of him, and asked with interest, "I wonder what Doctor Du wants to ask me?"

Doctor Du was so surprised. He wondered if he could get his consultation fee waived by answering questions? This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. He thought that the great doctor of Wei was really good at playing. He wondered what strange questions she would ask him.

Du Wanwan looked at Yao Er calmly, paused, and took a deep breath. For some reason, she was actually a little nervous.

He was just pretending to be calm and composed. It was hard to say whether the person in front of him was his uncle or not.

After a moment of silence, she asked slowly and pointedly, "There is a parrot named Tuotuo. Do you remember it?"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Er's heart instantly collapsed. Parrot? Tuotuo? Big sister? Is this what you mean?
