Chapter 3008 Chatterbox
The woman's face turned pale, and she asked with a pale face, "Same inspection as the master just now?"
Zhou Man nodded, "Yes."
The woman hesitated and refused to agree. Zhou Man had just touched her from head to toe. If her son had not been there, and Zhou Man and Wen Tiandong were both officials, she would not even want Wen Tiandong to stay here and watch.
Having a strange man watch her being touched was already her limit, let alone being touched by him.
Zhou Man didn't force it when he saw this, and said to Wen Tiandong, "Then you go out first. I want to take another look at her waist and back."
Wen Tiandong responded with some disappointment. This kind of disease is very rare, but it's a pity that the patient is not a man.
The young man also retreated. Zhou Man called Xibing, and the two of them undressed her and turned her over to check her.
Zhou Man carefully stroked her back with his hands all the way down. When he touched her lower back, it might have been too painful, and she couldn't help but groan twice.
After asking some questions, Zhou Man had an idea in mind. When he was about to put her clothes on, he saw that there seemed to be bruises on her stomach, so he lifted her clothes and looked forward.
She reached out and pressed the bruise and asked, "How did this happen?"
The woman shrank back in pain, her face pale as she said, "I accidentally bumped into it."
Xibing also took a look and said angrily, "It's obvious that it was kicked. You can even tell the size of the footprint."
The woman's face turned pale and she said nothing.
Zhou Man simply lifted up the person's clothes and pants to check her out. He found that there were many bruises on her body, especially on her legs, mostly from pinching and beating. Fortunately, no bones were injured, but the most serious one had injured tendons.
Zhou Man pursed his lips and said to Xi Bing, "I'll prescribe some ointment later and ask Mrs. Shao to dissolve it and apply it to her."
Xibing agreed.
Zhou Man then stopped and let her put on her clothes.
The woman asked anxiously, "Sir, can my illness be cured?"
Zhou Man thought about it and nodded, "It can be treated, it just takes a little longer. There is a room in the hospital now. Since you are a resident, you can stay here."
The woman was stunned for a moment and asked, "I wonder how much it costs per day?"
Zhou Man said: "You can live here for free, but you need to be responsible for your own food."
Zhou Man went out to discuss Wen Tiandong's condition. The young man followed them closely. Zhou Man did not chase him away. If he wanted to hear, he would let him hear. "It's lumbar paralysis."
Wen Tiandong had also diagnosed the condition, but this was the first time he had seen someone with lumbar pain so severe that their lower limbs were completely paralyzed. Thinking of the patient's description, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this due to childbirth?"
The young man beside him immediately tensed up his face and couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Could it be that my brother is really destined to be unlucky?"
Zhou Man was about to speak: ...
Looking at Wen Tiandong who was waiting to listen to Zhou Man: ...
The teacher and student immediately turned to look at him and asked curiously, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
The young man was completely distracted and said sadly, "Didn't you say it was related to childbirth?"
Zhou Man nodded. "Your mother said she had just finished her confinement when she became ill, but what does this have to do with your brother being a jinx?"
Recently, Bai Erlang has been writing about various stars in the sky, and Zhou Man is extremely curious about this.
The boy said: "It was raining when my mother gave birth to my brother. My grandmother fell down while going out. She died a few days after being carried back. People in the village said that my brother was the one who brought bad luck to her."
Zhou Man widened his eyes.
"Later, not long after my mother came out of confinement, she collapsed in bed. People in the village even said that it was my brother who brought bad luck to her..." So his father thought about giving his brother away, but no one in the nearby villages dared to take him. He and his mother refused to agree to abandon him. He did abandon him once, but the boy followed and brought him back.
He didn't believe his brother was doomed, but if the adults said so...
Wen Tiandong couldn't help but say, "Isn't this nonsense? Your mother said she started working in the fields three days after giving birth. She had to wash clothes, cook, and harvest rice. Even a normal person would probably collapse from exhaustion, let alone just giving birth."
Zhou Man nodded and said, "She suffered from overwork. Overwork leads to kidney deficiency, which makes one susceptible to cold. Moreover, your mother was in the special period of confinement at the time and had no idea how to take care of herself."
Washing clothes and bending over to cut rice. Even if nothing happened at the time, there would be no good thing on your body when you are a little older.
The young man was stunned and asked, "So, does this have anything to do with my brother?"
Wen Tiandong: "Of course not."
Zhou Man: "Of course."
Wen Tiandong silently turned his head to look at Zhou Man. Zhou Man said seriously, "There are so many people involved in this matter, and it could even extend back to your eighteen generations. Think about it, if your ancestors were wealthy, and your family was still very wealthy when it came to you, so wealthy that your mother didn't need to work in the fields and wash clothes herself, would such a thing still happen?"
The boy shook his head.
"If your brother hadn't been born, would your mother have taken care of him during the confinement period?"
The boy shook his head.
"But to put it another way, does your brother want to be born into your family? Does he have a choice?"
One cannot choose what to be born, the boy continued to shake his head.
"Then how did your mother get pregnant with your brother? In the end, don't you have to blame your father and mother? If they hadn't gotten pregnant, nothing would have happened. Furthermore, if your maternal grandparents hadn't married your mother to your father, this wouldn't have happened. If your father's family hadn't been so poor, none of this would have happened..."
"If we go any further, we'll find even more culprits, but what's the point?" Zhou Man said, "It's already happened. All you need to know is how this disease develops, so you can learn from it in the future. The next step is to learn how to treat it."
Seeing that the gentleman was about to continue, Wen Tiandong took advantage of her moment to take a breath and said, "Sir, why don't we go have lunch first and then discuss how to treat her illness."
"Sir Zhou, Sir Wen, County Magistrate Bai brought a gentleman with him and is now talking to the patients in the front yard. Sister May also sent two food boxes." Xiao Kou, who had been waiting on the side, said hurriedly.
Zhou Man knew it was Mr. Qian who had arrived. She nodded and called Wen Tiandong over, "Let's have dinner together."
After that, he said to the young man, "Don't think too much. Your brother is not doomed. He is just unlucky. He just happened to encounter these things. It's not your family who is unlucky, but him."
"But in this world, misfortunes often lead to blessings. Who knows if he will have good fortune in the future?" Zhou Man said bluntly, "Your mother's illness is entirely her own fault. As for your grandmother, it can only be said that she has bad luck. But you have to know that in this vast world, people are born and die all the time. Could it be that they are also doomed to be alone?"
The boy's eyes were already confused, his brain was a mess, and he was obviously shocked by these words, and he didn't fully understand them.
Wen Tiandong glanced at the young man sympathetically and urged Zhou Man, "Sir, let's go quickly. Don't let County Magistrate Bai wait anxiously."
See you at 10pm
