Chapter 978: Sickness (Happy Birthday to Book Friend "Huang Juzi")
Manbao frowned slightly when she touched Yin Huo's hand. She moved it several times before she could feel the pulse. In order to hear it more accurately, she closed her eyes.
The carriage suddenly became quiet.
Manbao felt around for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes. He carefully looked at Yin Huo's face before withdrawing his hand. "Have you been in poor health since childhood?"
Yin Huo lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Manbao said, "You seem very weak. Have you been taking medicine?"
Because Yin Huo was always silent, Manbao stared at his face when asking him questions. After he paused and nodded slightly, he quickly asked, "Do you remember your prescription? What did the doctor say?"
Yin Huo withdrew his hand and did not answer. His expression did not change much, but Manbao could feel that he was unhappy.
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "You are seriously ill. Do you often feel short of breath? Do you have palpitations and discomfort when your emotions fluctuate? Can't you control your tears?"
Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Liu Huan turned their heads to look at Yin Huo.
Yin Huo moved his body to avoid Manbao's sight.
Manbao continued to ask: "Are you still having trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, and feeling inexplicably sad and wanting to cry when you're alone? Sometimes you even want to... die?"
Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Liu Huan were startled and stared at Yin Huo more seriously.
Yin Huo also looked at Manbao in surprise, then lowered his head under the gaze of everyone.
Bai Shan and the other two’s eyes almost popped out. Is this actually true?
Bai Shan coughed lightly, and his voice became much softer. "It's so good to be alive. Why do you have to be depressed?"
Yin Huo pursed his lips and whispered, "I'm not depressed."
Liu Huanze said, "So you cry not because you like to cry, but because you are sick?"
Manbao pushed the three people aside and continued to say to Yin Huo: "Your illness needs to be cured. You have to trust me. Go to Jishitang before school tomorrow and I will take a look at you."
Yin Huo didn't believe it, "It's just melancholy and sadness, how can it be a disease?"
“This is the disease.”
Yin Huo stopped talking again.
Manbao started to ramble on, "You know what? I just felt your pulse, and it took me a long time to find it. You're the weakest patient I've ever seen. Were you born prematurely? Have you always been in poor health?"
Yin Huo looked up at her and said nothing.
Liu Huan, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, that's right, he was born prematurely and has been in poor health since he was young."
Why did Liu Huan know?
Of course it’s because Yin Huo has six sisters. Whenever someone makes Yin Huo cry, his six sisters start their conversation with this sentence.
Man Bao said: "The five internal organs of a person are a system, a cycle, just like the five elements, they are closely related, so the strong can lift the weak, and can also suppress the weak, but if all five of your internal organs are weak, it is very dangerous."
Yin Huo pinched the corner of his clothes and said nothing.
"You have two illnesses: emotional depression and physical weakness. If you want to cure your emotional depression, you must first cure your physical weakness. If you want to cure your physical weakness, you must also cure your emotional depression."
Manbao said: "Otherwise, if you are not in good health, you will be depressed, and if you are depressed, it will be difficult for you to get well."
"Wait a minute," Liu Huan raised his hand and said, "So, do you want to treat the depression first, or the physical weakness first?"
Manbao glanced at him sideways, his gentleness gone, "Let's cure it together!"
Yin Huo lowered his eyes and said, "It can't be cured."
"Who said it can't be cured?" Man Bao cheered up and said temptingly, "I am very confident that I can cure you..."
"Are you better than Doctor Tan?"
Manbao blinked, "It was Doctor Tan who treated you?"
Yin Huo didn't want to talk anymore. The carriage slowly stopped. Daji jumped out, put down the carriage seat and said, "Master, Miss Man, we're here."
Manbao lifted the curtain and looked outside. Yin Huo also looked outside and saw the front door of their house.
He was stunned. They actually sent him home.
Bai Shan and the others jumped off the carriage and saw Yin Huo still in a daze, so they asked, "Aren't you going home?"
Yin Huo reacted, lowered his eyes and climbed down from the carriage. The servants of the Yin family and the Liu family who followed closely behind him stopped the carriage silently and then ran up silently.
The servants of the Yin family looked at their young master carefully and found no injuries on his body. Most importantly, he didn't cry, so they all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he hadn't been bullied.
Yin Huo handed the book basket to the servant, nodded to Man Bao and the others, and said, "I will tell my sisters that this is all a misunderstanding."
Manbao said, "I'll wait for you at Jishiditang tomorrow."
Yin Huo didn't respond, just remained silent for a moment, then turned and left.
The Yin family's servants escorted Yin Huo into the house. Liu Huan took two steps forward and looked at Man Bao. "Is he really sick?"
Manbao nodded, "And it's a very serious illness."
She had never seen this kind of disease before, but she had only heard from Teacher Mo that it was very difficult to treat. It seemed that she would have to consult Teacher Mo when she got home tonight. Fortunately, she had just taken someone's pulse and had memorized the pulse diagnosis.
Liu Huan was surprised, "I'm actually sick..."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were also surprised, "There's actually a disease that causes crying?"
Manbao said, "There are so many strange diseases in this world, this is just one of them."
She was also shocked when she heard Teacher Mo mention it for the first time. There is a disease in this world that can cause depression and make people unable to control themselves and have no hope of recovery.
But Yin Huo's most difficult disease is not here, but in his physical weakness. He is really weak, and it seems that he has no serious illness, but this kind of disease is the most dangerous, because he gets sick very easily, from minor illnesses such as colds, coughs, and fever to major illnesses such as organ failure.
"By the way, how old is he? I just forgot to ask his age."
"Sixteen," Liu Huan said, "one year older than me."
"No way, he's already sixteen?" Bai Erlang was surprised. "He looks younger than me. I thought he was only twelve or thirteen."
"You have to be fourteen to enter the Imperial College, both through imperial favor and the imperial examination. Do you think he's blessed with the same favor as you? He should have been admitted two years ago, but he fell seriously ill just before the start, so he didn't make it. Last year, he was supposed to enroll again, but I heard he got sick from a late spring cold, so he didn't get in again."
Liu Huan said, "He wasn't in good health this year, but he insisted on going to school. His family couldn't stop him, so they let him in. But as soon as he got in, he started coughing. I heard that his sisters asked all the other students in their class to take good care of him at school."
Liu Huan paused here and whispered, "That's why everyone thinks he's so spoiled and doesn't like to play with him in private. When they talk to him, he speaks softly, and he gets scared if they speak a little louder, and his eyes turn red at the slightest provocation..."
Liu Huan muttered softly, "No one would have thought he had such a disease..."
Manbao stared at the Yin family's gate thoughtfully.
Bai Shan pulled her and said, "Let's go home."
Manbao nodded and climbed into the carriage.
Liu Huan was about to climb up as well, so Bai Shan turned around and looked at him and asked, "Aren't you going home?"
Liu Huan said nonchalantly, "My home is not far ahead. I'll just take your carriage back. It's just a turn and we'll be there. It's on the way."
I wish my book friend "Huang Juzi" will become younger and more beautiful, and be happy every day.
