The brother and sister followed Captain Liu into the brigade headquarters, and a clinic was set up for her next to the tool room. As she said, the front half of the clinic was furnished with a table and stools, and on the table was paper and pen for writing prescriptions. The pen was an old fountain pen, which Captain Liu personally contributed, and the paper was made by piecing together the covers of several homework books. It was quite rudimentary.
Song Yun didn't care. After taking a quick glance, she looked at the other half of the space separated by old wooden boards. The so-called door was a curtain hung with an old cloth. Inside was a simple bed made of old door panels. These were all personal contributions from Captain Liu.
"We have limited time, so we can only do it like this. We will definitely make it better in the future." Captain Liu was afraid that she would not be satisfied, so he quickly made the promise.
Song Yun smiled and said, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work, uncle."
Captain Liu was very happy to hear this, his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum. "Okay, I'll tell those who need to see a doctor to come in."
Song Yun nodded, "Let people come in one by one and line up."
Captain Liu went out to talk, and most people were still skeptical of Song Yun's medical skills. They were all gathered outside to join in the fun, with no intention of coming in. Of course, there were also those who really had patients at home. They thought it would be okay to ask, and if that didn't work, they could go to the town clinic. So they asked, "Captain, can Song Zhiqing cure any disease? My mother has had a headache for many days and can't eat or sleep. I originally planned to take her to the town clinic for a checkup in the next two days. Can Song Zhiqing treat her?"
Captain Liu replied, "You need to bring the patient to Song Zhiqing and ask her in person if she can cure him. She'll have to see the patient before she can tell. Stop talking nonsense and go home and bring me here. Every time I pass by your house, I hear my mother screaming in pain. You really have a conscience. You have to choose a day to treat my mother. What's the matter? Is there no auspicious day recently?"
The man's face turned red after being scolded by Captain Liu, and he quickly ran back home to carry his mother back.
"Then let me take a look first. I've had stomachaches these past few days. I want to see if Song Zhiqing can cure it." Liu Sigui was the first to step into the clinic.
After a brief consultation, Song Yun asked him to get some senna leaves or jujube seeds to soak in water and drink it, which would help him defecate and his stomach would stop hurting.
Liu Sigui came out with a red face. He thought it was a disease, maybe constipation, but he had to verify whether it was true or not. Fortunately, senna leaves and cassia seeds were not difficult to get. They were available at Mr. Fei's place in Guizi Village. Someone had brought their child to see Mr. Fei before, and he also prescribed senna leaves and cassia seeds.
He also wanted to save himself the trouble of going to Song Zhiqing to get some senna leaves or cassia seeds, but unfortunately Song Zhiqing didn't have any, so he told him to figure it out himself. If that didn't work, he could go to the town health center to get some laxative pills.
After Liu Sigui came out, Liu Dachun came in carrying his old mother. The old lady was thin and had many age spots on her face and back of her hands, which made her look even older. She was obviously only seventy years old, but she looked no different from an eighty-year-old.
Liu Dachun put the old lady down and helped her sit on the stool beside the examination table. "Song Zhiqing, my mother has had a headache for seven or eight days. Can you treat her?"
Song Yun glanced at Liu Dachun, who was full of thoughts, and said lightly: "You'll know after seeing her." After that, she began to examine the old lady. She asked some questions, and the old lady answered them all. She also felt the old lady's pulse and pressed several important acupoints around the brain. She determined the old lady's illness based on her reactions.
"It's a migraine. I heard from my aunt that her mother had this kind of headache before. It must be hereditary migraine." Song Yun said to Liu Dachun.
Liu Dachun was shocked when he heard this. "Hereditary? Will I inherit this disease too?"
Song Yun shook her head. "Not everyone will inherit it, it's just a possibility. You're already ninety and haven't had any symptoms yet, so it's highly likely you haven't inherited it."
Liu Dachun breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Can you cure this disease?"
Song Yun: "This disease can't be cured, but it can relieve headache symptoms. You have two options now. One is to go to the health center in the town to get painkillers, or I can give her acupuncture, which can also relieve headache symptoms."
