Chapter 53: Do not look at what is inappropriate
Secretly seeing a patient, but getting caught by the patient?
He was so embarrassed when he was found...
This feeling is too bad! Without waiting for He Yanxiu to reach out for help, Su Yujin had already climbed up from the ground and covered He Yanxiu with the quilt that had been dragged to the ground.
He Yanxiu, "..."
Su Yujin's technique and his understanding of her cooking skills reminded him of covering the filling with dough when making meat patties?
"cough!"
He Yanxiu simply stood up, put on his coat and shoes, and sat at the table. "I've never heard that you know medical skills before."
"I learned from my family when I was young. Later, I read a lot of medical knowledge and could cure some diseases, but I was not as good as famous doctors, so I didn't dare to show off my skills in front of others."
Su Yujin explained, "It's just that when we were eating barbecue just now, the fish was bland and the eggplant was too salty, but the Second Master didn't say anything. I was suspicious and wanted to verify it."
"I see." He Yanxiu nodded, "So what do you think? Can it be cured?"
"It can be cured, but it's a bit complicated and will probably take a long time," Su Yujin replied.
In other words, it can be cured.
He Yanxiu was delighted and clenched his fists, trying not to look too excited. "How can I cure it? How long will it take to cure it?"
"Second Master's loss of taste is probably due to a fall or a bump on the back of his head."
Loss of taste is one of the sequelae of falls, which is caused by damage to the central nervous system. In some cases, the body can recover over time if it can repair itself, but in some cases, it cannot.
"Yes." He Yanxiu nodded. "It was about eight years ago. When I was young, I followed my father to go hunting. When I was chasing a deer with a few other boys of the same age, I fell and got injured. I have been recovering for a long time."
"Afterwards, I found that I couldn't taste anything. My mother asked the imperial physician to come and see me, but he said that this condition was incurable. Because he was worried about my grandmother, only my parents, me and the imperial physician knew about this. No one else knew about it."
"In the past few years, when I traveled to various places on business, I visited one or two famous doctors when I heard about them, but they were all helpless. As time went by, I didn't care much about it. Although I lost my sense of taste, my sense of smell became more sensitive. If it was a sweet, greasy, spicy or other flavor with a smell, I could usually distinguish it by smell."
But salt has no smell, so He Yanxiu couldn't taste it at that time.
No wonder He Yanxiu always paused when eating. At first, I thought it was because he had good family education and his eating movements were gentle and elegant, or maybe he was a son of a noble family and had to follow red tape since childhood, so he had to put on airs most of the time.
It turned out that it was to secretly smell the smell.
No wonder every time I asked He Yanxiu how he felt, I always got a bland answer. At first, I just thought he was careless and didn't care about it.
It turned out that he had a physical illness and had to act like this to make himself look like a normal person.
Su Yujin felt a surge of emotion, and was even more saddened by He Yanxiu's experience.
It has been eight years since he lost his sense of taste.
During these eight years, no matter how delicious the food was, it had no taste in my mouth. How painful was that?
Especially when you see others praising how delicious the food is, and you want to try it yourself, but you don’t have the energy to do so…
It really is true that everyone has troubles that are unknown to others.
There was a bit more sympathy in Su Yujin's eyes when she looked at He Yanxiu.
This sympathy made He Yanxiu feel a little awkward.
At the beginning, he concealed this matter from everyone, not even Xing'an who was beside him knew about it. Besides being afraid of worrying his grandmother, he also didn't want to be treated with pity.
He Yanxiu coughed lightly, "You haven't answered yet, how do you want to diagnose and treat it?"
"Oh, yes." Su Yujin retracted his gaze. "It needs to be treated with acupuncture and moxibustion, supplemented with herbal medicine. You should also pay attention to your diet and avoid certain foods."
"How long will that take?"
"It depends on the effect of the initial treatment." Su Yujin replied, "In the early stage, acupuncture is required every day for seven consecutive days, and then acupuncture is performed once every seven days, combined with decoctions. If one acupuncture session is counted as one course of treatment, at least seven courses of treatment are required to see initial results."
"If you want to be completely cured, if the treatment goes well, I estimate it will take about a year. If it doesn't go well, it may take three to five years."
In terms of time alone, it is indeed not short.
But he has already lived like this for eight years, so it is not impossible for him to wait another year or two.
"Okay." He Yanxiu nodded, "Then let's do the acupuncture as you said. Shall we start now?"
"Okay." Su Yujin nodded, "Second Master, wait for me for a moment. I'll go get my silver needles and prepare one or two more."
While waiting for Su Yujin to get the silver needle, He Yanxiu thought about something very important.
Although he didn't know much about medicine, he remembered that his father was injured once and the doctor gave him an acupuncture injection on his back when he came to see him.
When performing acupuncture, the back is always bare to ensure accurate needle placement and appropriate force.
If I take off my clothes in front of Su Yujin later, the atmosphere will inevitably be awkward...
After hesitating for a moment, He Yanxiu reached out and untied his belt.
Xing'an had been waiting outside for a long time since Su Yujin entered the house. Now he saw Su Yujin come out and ask Ai Cao to prepare hot water and liquor, but there was no movement in the house.
Xing'an pushed the door slightly, ready to take a look at the Second Master's current condition to see if he needed to clean up anything.
As a result, through the crack in the door, Xing'an saw He Yanzheng undressing, even taking off his undergarments!
Oh my god! Do not look at it if it is inappropriate!
Xing'an hurriedly closed the gap, and when Su Yujin came into the room carrying a small basin of hot water and liquor, he moved a little further away.
There might be some embarrassing noises later, don't listen to them! Then he felt that it was not enough, so he simply called Ai Cao and Liu Mama over, told them not to get close to the room, and asked them to boil some hot water.
Ai Cao and Mother Liu received the instructions and started to get busy.
"Why do you need so much hot water?" Ai Cao added firewood to the stove, a little surprised, "but you didn't say to prepare a bathtub."
"Don't ask about this kind of thing." Mother Liu replied with a smile.
"What exactly is it?" The more Ai Cao was not allowed to ask, the more curious she became.
"You are shameless. Why are you asking about this?" Seeing Ai Cao's face full of doubts and a look of wanting to get to the bottom of things, Mother Liu said unhappily, "The young lady just entered the room, and the Second Master was lying in the room. What do you think the Second Master could do with the young lady?"
Ahem! Ai Cao blushed and sat down to continue lighting the fire.
Su Yujin entered the room, closed the door, and after taking the set of silver needles sent by Li, she returned to the bedside and saw He Yanxiu lying upright on the bed.
The entire back is completely exposed.
Su Yujin, "..."
Su Yujin, "What's wrong with Second Master?"
