Chapter 3012 Pregnancy
This time the acupuncture was different from the previous ones. Zhou Man used several large needles and started giving her acupuncture only after applying a medicine bag. The patient felt a little uncomfortable after the first needle was inserted.
She felt bloated and painful and couldn't help moaning. Zhou Man moved the needle and asked her how she felt. Wen Tiandong could hear it clearly outside the window.
He knew that the acupuncture Zhou Man performed today was not only for treatment, but its main purpose was to explore her physical condition. Each acupoint reacted differently, and the lesions were naturally different.
He squatted outside the window, listening to the sounds inside and writing down the reactions, which they would discuss later.
After completing this set of acupuncture, not only did the patient sweat profusely and feel uncomfortable, but Zhou Man also sweated all over and was very tired.
Zhou Man looked at the time. Half an hour had passed, nearly a quarter of an hour longer than he had expected.
She frowned, and after putting away the needle, she said to the little girl waiting beside her, "Wipe her dry with a dry towel and let her rest."
The woman had always been taken care of by her daughter. Although she was only eight or nine years old, she was already able to take care of everything around the house. She agreed and immediately took a dry towel and went forward to take care of her mother.
Seeing Zhou Man looked exhausted, Xibing quickly stepped forward to support her. Seeing that her palms were a little cold, he couldn't help but feel surprised, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Man also felt a little flustered, and her vision was a little dizzy. She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's too hot, maybe I have heatstroke."
Wen Tiandong, who was waiting outside, immediately came forward when he heard this. He helped Zhou Man to the next room and took her pulse. He looked at her face carefully. It was a little red, but it shouldn't be a case of heatstroke, right?
But he still said to Xibing, "Go and bring me a bowl of soup to cool down the summer heat."
Zhou Man said, "I don't want to drink the cooling soup, I want to drink sour plum soup."
Wen Tiandong: "...Okay."
Because the weather is hot, many people come to the clinic for treatment. Some of them have walked for most of the day under the scorching sun. Therefore, the clinic has been preparing summer-cooling soups since the beginning of summer. They are all teas made from herbs such as Centella asiatica. Although they are a bit bitter, they are very effective in cooling off.
But Zhou Man didn't like it, so Sister He would cook some sour plum soup every day and ask May and the others to bring it over, just to help them cool down. It wasn't much, so most of the time Zhou Man would drink it first.
Xibing ran to the kitchen to get some sour plum soup.
Wen Tiandong then said, "Sir, do you still feel uncomfortable?"
Zhou Man thought for a moment and said, "Heartache and dizziness, isn't this heatstroke? Could it be insufficient Qi and blood?"
Zhou Man said this with some lack of confidence. She had been eating a lot recently. It was such a hot day, and she even drank a bowl of meat soup last night. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her qi and blood at all.
Wen Tiandong: "...I mean, you..." He paused, then realized that she was a doctor and didn't need to ask too many questions in detail, so he asked directly: "Could it be that you are...pregnant?"
Zhou Man blinked, then pulled out his wrist to take his own pulse.
Wen Tiandong: ...
Zhou Man carefully felt his pulse, put down his hand after a while, and began to count his days.
She was a little dizzy at the moment, so she was a little slow, but no matter how slow she was, she could figure it out with her intelligence. The date seemed to be three days late, but this was normal. For her, the time was not always accurate. Sometimes it was three or four days early, or five or six days late. This was normal.
Zhou Man reacted belatedly, "Koko, I'm not really going to be a mother, am I?"
This question was too serious, and Koko was confused for a moment. She didn't even ask the host for points. She directly monitored her physical data and then silently pulled out the data and projected it into her mind.
But because she felt a little dizzy, she didn't look at it for a while.
Xibing brought up the sour plum soup. Zhou Man took it in a daze and drank it mouthful by mouthful.
Wen Tiandong seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Zhou Man felt much better after drinking a bowl of sour plum soup. At least he wasn't so dizzy anymore. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her complexion improve, Wen Tiandong couldn't help but ask with concern, "Sir, are you pregnant?"
Zhou Man nodded, "It's still early, don't tell anyone."
Wen Tiandong: ...Why can the gentleman take the pulse himself at such a young age, but he can't be sure?
Wen Tiandong deeply felt that his medical skills needed to be improved, but...
He looked at the bowl in Zhou Man's hand and said, "Sir, there is hawthorn in the sour plum soup. You can't drink too much now."
Xibing was stunned. She just went to the kitchen to get a bowl of sour plum soup, but when she came back she heard such important news.
She couldn't help herself and immediately reached out to grab the empty bowl from Zhou Man's hand. She felt like crying, "Madam, do you want to spit it out?"
Zhou Man: "...That's not necessary. Although there is hawthorn in the sour plum soup, it's not much. Drinking one or two bowls a day should be fine."
It's not like she keeps chewing hawthorns every day, and she has symptoms of heatstroke, so it's okay for her to drink a little.
Xibing looked at Wen Tiandong uncertainly.
Wen Tiandong nodded, but warned again: "You can't drink too much."
He thought for a moment and suggested, "You can have someone cook some porridge and save the rice soup for later use. If you're really thirsty, you can drink the rice soup."
That can also beat the heat.
Zhou Man pretended not to hear. She rested for a while and still found it magical. Although she was a doctor, she still found it a little difficult to adapt.
Wen Tiandong took a look and decisively called Xiao Kou over, saying to her, "Go to the county office to find County Magistrate Bai and ask him to come and take you back."
Xiao Kou asked with wide eyes, "What's wrong, sir?"
It was difficult to tell others about the short pregnancy, so Wen Tiandong didn't tell Xiao Kou. Instead, he said, "Just go and tell them that Lord Zhou isn't feeling well."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Kou ran towards the county government office.
Bai Shan had just returned to the county government office not long ago. Zhou Man was giving him acupuncture, and he felt a little bored staying there, so he went back to the county government office.
But the county government office was busy, so he called Cui Yuan and asked him, "How is the news I asked you to find out?"
Cui Yuan: "...Sir, do we really have to snatch people from other counties?"
"What do you mean by robbing people? We call it attracting talents."
A group of refugees and tenant farmers, what kind of talents are they?
But he still said: "I have secretly sent people to persuade them according to the adults' instructions, oh no, I went to persuade them, but it is difficult to leave the hometown. Even if it is only one or several counties away, it is not easy to attract people here."
Bai Shan smiled slightly and encouraged: "It's okay, let's take it slowly, we have money now."
Being rich is one of Bai Shan’s greatest strengths.
Although Beihai County and the county government office are still in a dilapidated state, there is actually a lot of money in the county government office, especially since he is still expanding his official salt business.
Just as he was talking excitedly, Daji came in quickly and stood outside the door, bowing and saying, "Master, Xiao Kou from the medical department is here and said that my wife is feeling unwell."
Bai Shan's expression changed, and he immediately stood up and went out, "Why do you feel unwell?"
That was the Medical Department, Zhou Man was a doctor himself, and Wen Tiandong was also there!
Bai Shan hurried to the medical department.
I slept all day today. I am super sleepy and super hungry. No matter how long I sleep, it is not enough. No matter how much I eat, I am not full. In addition to worrying about getting fat, I am actually looking forward to getting the second shot. It feels good to eat and sleep, sleep and eat.
See you at 10pm
