Chapter 63 Anorexia

Now that he knew that his master had passed the Xuanyuan acupuncture method to Meng Yi, Qu Lingxiao was no longer so resistant to Lin Qian reading his book just now, and he also exchanged his experience of the Xuanyuan acupuncture method with Lin Qian.

This is what Lin Qian lacks most now. She listened carefully and the conversation went dark.

Lin Qian and Qu Lingxiao had just finished a half-day academic exchange, and Meng Yi and Qu Nan also came out of the room.

Looking at their red eyes, Lin Qian knew that they must be crying bitterly.

"Come on, let's go next door to have dinner, as a welcome treat for the three of you." Qu Nan said, hugging Meng Yi.

The six of them went to a small restaurant nearby to have a meal. At night, Lin Qian and Lin Shuo slept in a small room.

In the space, Lin Qian and Lin Shuo were picking saffron that had matured for the third time.

"Sister, I bought so many dried tangerine peels and put them in the space for so long, but it seems that there is no change at all." Lin Shuo said while fiddling with his dried tangerine peels.

"It seems that the space can only ripen the medicinal herbs. It may also be the effect of the soil." Lin Qian said.

Lin Shuo touched his chin and said, "If it's soil, sister, why don't we make some wine? After brewing it, we can bury it in the soil and see if it works."

Lin Qian nodded: "That's a good idea. Go buy a jar of wine tomorrow and bury it in the soil to see if it works. If it really works, I'll make some medicinal wine."

The Dietary Materia Medica contains not only recipes for medicinal foods, but also many wine-making recipes that are good for the body.

Since the space was upgraded, except for ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum, Lin Qian has dug out saffron, Polygonatum sibiricum and Gastrodia elata once or twice.

There are so many medicinal herbs placed in the field now that it’s almost full.

It seems that I have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow to sell these herbs, and then buy a few large medicine cabinets to store them.

The next morning, the brother and sister walked around Yuzhou City for a few rounds.

Finally, they chose Renhetang to sell medicinal materials. There was no other way, they were touched as soon as they saw Renhetang.

I don’t know if the Renhetang in their hometown still exists.

"Sister, where do you think Brother Wei Jing and the others are now?" Lin Shuo asked Lin Qian while looking at the sign of Renhetang.

Lin Qian shook her head. There were four places where the refugees took refuge, and they were so far away from each other that she might not be able to find them even if she went looking for them.

After entering Renhetang, Lin Qian frowned. There were so many people in Renhetang.

"Boss, why do you have so many patients here?" Lin Qian asked when she saw that the lobby of Renhe Hall was full of people.

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on. So many people have caught colds these past few days."

Lin Qian looked at those people. They all had chills and fever. The weather was bad in the past few days, with alternating hot and cold temperatures. It was estimated that many people had caught colds, so Lin Qian didn't pay much attention.

After selling the herbs, Lin Qian went to buy four large medicine cabinets and put them into the space. In order to put the medicine cabinets into the space, the two of them found a remote alley.

Now that they were out of the alley, they found themselves at the flower and bird market.

Lin Qian bought many more saplings: jujube trees, peach trees, osmanthus trees, five-fingered ginseng, coptis chinensis, and ginkgo trees. She didn't want many, just one of each.

After buying these things, Lin Qian and Lin Shuo went back to the clinic.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the clinic, Lin Qian saw two luxurious carriages parked in front of Qu Nan's clinic, blocking the road completely.

When the two of them entered, Qu Nanzheng and Meng Yi were whispering in the clinic, and opposite them sat a middle-aged man with a sad face. From his clothes, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

Behind him stood two servants.

"This is roughly the situation. I've been to the doctor several times, but unfortunately I can't treat it. Why don't you give it a try?

"Your Meng family ancestor is the forefather of dietary therapy, so there should be a way, right?" Qu Nan asked Meng Yi.

Meng Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll go take a look first."

The middle-aged man opposite, who had a worried look on his face, immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, Doctor Meng, come with me."

Meng Yi happened to see Lin Qian and Lin Shuo at this time and said to them, "You two should come along too."

The middle-aged man respectfully sent Meng Yi to the second carriage, and then returned to his own carriage.

Lin Qian and Lin Shuo boarded the carriage. After they sat down, Lin Qian asked Meng Yi, "Master, what's going on? Are we going to treat someone?"

"Well, the condition of this patient today is a bit special. We probably have to stay in the mansion for a few days." Meng Yi said.

"Special? How special?" Lin Qian was a little curious. She had just heard Qu Nan say that even he had no way.

Meng Yi frowned and said, "The sick person is a six-year-old girl, the youngest daughter of Mr. Quan.

"A month ago, Miss Quan stopped eating and felt like vomiting at the sight of food. She could only drink plain porridge. Three days ago, she couldn't even drink it and was starving to death."

Anorexia. Lin Qian and Lin Shuo looked at each other. They both knew about this disease.

There are two causes of anorexia. It is a mental illness that causes people to be mentally unwilling to eat or drink, and it is also the most difficult to treat.

The second type is anorexia caused by the spleen and stomach, which can be cured by regulating the spleen and stomach.

How could a six-year-old girl get this disease?

"Then, Master, do you have any good ideas?" Lin Qian asked.

Meng Yi shook his head: "It's hard to say now. Let's see after seeing Miss Quan and taking her pulse."

Lin Qian nodded.

"Sister, this Miss Quan, could it be that she was a fat girl before, and then lost weight, and then developed anorexia?" Lin Shuo looked at Meng Yi with his eyes closed to rest, and secretly lowered his voice to ask Lin Qian.

Lin Qian said, "That's a possibility. After all, her family is so well-off, so it's not impossible for her to become obese due to overfeeding."

A little girl of six or seven years old also knows what is beautiful and what is ugly, and consciously controls her food intake to lose weight. It is very likely that she will develop anorexia later.

The carriage stopped soon, and Lin Qian and Lin Shuo helped Meng Yi out of the carriage.

The whole mansion was huge, grand and luxurious, but there were white lanterns and white sails hanging around, which suggested that someone in their family had just died.

"Doctor Meng, please come in." Master Quan said to Meng Yi, then led the three of them into the Quan Mansion.

After many twists and turns, the three of them were led directly to Miss Quan's boudoir.

Seeing Miss Quan, Lin Qian and Lin Shuo immediately overturned their speculation in the car.

Miss Quan wasn't obese at all. She was so thin that her exposed wrists and ankles were like bamboo poles. She was just skin and bones, lying on the bed, breathing weakly.

Meng Yi frowned when he saw her like this, walked to the bedside and took her pulse, and after a while, his brows relaxed.

At this time, Mr. Quan, who was standing by the bed, asked Meng Yi cautiously: "Doctor Meng, can you cure my daughter's illness?"

Meng Yi smiled slightly: "It can be cured. I will go to make medicine for her now. You ask someone to get the herbs: hawthorn, costus root, Shenqu, wood ear, lotus seeds, wolfberry..."

Master Quan responded quickly and ran out excitedly to ask someone to get the medicine.
