Chapter 8 Prescription...
As soon as these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere in the room was immediately broken and turned into a joyful atmosphere.
Xu Ting and Rongyi had never expected that their son could be so smart and talkative!
It was the first time that Chen Yin heard someone directly comment on her appearance. She tried to remain calm, but upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see a faint blush on her face.
It was also the first time that Xu Lexin saw such a beautiful person. He quickly sat up and looked at Chen Yin with infatuated eyes.
It wasn't until Chen Yin sat on the stool beside the bed that he realized something was wrong.
"Doctor?"
Xu Lexin looked at the beautiful sister in disbelief, hoping to get a negative answer from her.
But Chen Yin shook her head, which gave him a heavy blow.
"Yes, I am the one your father asked to come back to treat you."
Xu Lexin was disappointed at first, then he fell back in despair. "I won't take injections or medication. They can't be cured at all."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ting felt a pang of pain in his heart and quickly explained:
"Your sister Chen Yin doesn't need you to get an injection. She's a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, just like the doctor Chen Nanhe who treated your broken hand when you were two years old. She can treat you at home."
This time, Xu Lexin not only did not feel at ease, but his brows were almost knitted together.
"Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
It is really hard to associate the young and beautiful lady in front of me with a Chinese medicine doctor with a white beard.
"A doctor's age is not a factor in curing illnesses and saving lives; what matters is their medical skills."
Rongyi glared at her son in dissatisfaction and pulled his hand out of the quilt.
Then he looked at Chen Yin and said, "Doctor Chen, please take a look. Le Xin has had a bloated stomach and feels uncomfortable all over for the past week, and he can't eat well. Before he got sick, outsiders could tell at a glance that he was his father's child."
Xu Ting stood aside and nodded affirmatively, puffing out his belly confidently.
Although he knew that obesity was bad for the body, being fat was a symbol of wealth, and he couldn't control his mouth. Besides, chubby children looked cute.
Chen Yin glanced at Uncle Xu, then at Xu Lexin, whose figure was not much different from that of a normal child, and nodded with a stiff neck.
It was obvious that Xu Lexin also agreed with this topic and kept talking about the things he liked to eat before.
"Small crispy pork, braised pork intestines, stuffed pork with sand, spicy chicken... wuwuwu, I can't eat any of them. I gag as soon as I put them in my mouth."
Speaking of delicious food, he finally accepted the idea of curing his illness and tried to reach out his hand towards the beautiful sister.
The patient's willingness to seek treatment is the first step towards recovery.
Chen Yin took the pulse pillow out of her bag and said, "Le Xin, put your hand on it."
"Oh." Xu Lexin, who had seen a Chinese medicine doctor once, was very familiar with this.
After he put his hand on it, he waited quietly for the beautiful sister to make a move.
But Chen Yin didn't put her hand down immediately. Instead, she asked patiently, "Le Xin, where do you feel uncomfortable now?"
Hearing this, Xu Lexin immediately raised his hand and touched his upper abdomen.
"This place is bloated all the time, and the ribs next to it hurt a little. I can't eat or vomit. It's so uncomfortable."
When talking about sad things, the little man who still wanted to keep up appearances in front of outsiders had tears in the corners of his eyes, and it was obvious that he was extremely uncomfortable due to his illness.
When Xu Ting and Rongyi heard their son's sincere words, they couldn't help but hug each other and give each other strength.
Chen Yin did not stop asking, but continued to ask:
“What does poop look like?”
Hearing this, Rongyi didn't even bother to wipe away her tears and quickly replied, "It's very bad. I have loose bowel movements two or three times a day, and each time I have to stay in the bathroom for a long time."
"Where's the pee?"
…
In the following time, Chen Yin carefully inquired about Xu Lexin's physical condition.
Finally, she reminded him, "Open your mouth and let me see your tongue."
"Ah——" Xu Lexin habitually made sounds and movements.
"You don't have to open your mouth too wide, just stick your tongue out."
The next second, a red tongue stuck out.
Chen Yin could clearly see the situation above: there was little moss and there were cracks.
In addition, she observed that the other person's eyes were dry and he blinked frequently.
Based on all the above, she has made a preliminary judgment on Xu Lexin's condition, and now she just needs to take his pulse to confirm it.
"Put your hand on the pulse pillow."
Then, Chen Yin placed three fingers on the inside of Xu Lexin's wrist and quietly took his pulse.
At the beginning, Xu Ting and Rongyi were watching the pulse diagnosis with great interest, but they remained silent for a long time to Chen Yin, their expressions did not change at all, and their hearts gradually sank.
Suddenly, Chen Yin stopped what she was doing. The two of them held their breath and were about to step forward and ask in detail.
But then a calm voice sounded, "Change to the other hand."
"Oh oh oh!" Xu Lexin was also stunned by Chen Yin's indifferent expression. He hurriedly sat up and put his other hand on the pulse pillow.
Then there was another long wait for the Xu family.
Finally, when Xu Ting was about to lose his patience and speak, Chen Yin withdrew her hand and said seriously:
"He suffers from a condition caused by Yin deficiency, spleen weakness, liver and gallbladder dysfunction, Qi stagnation turning into heat, triple energizer dysfunction, internal water retention, and the interplay of water and heat. Furthermore, he previously took bitter and cold laxatives, which further damaged his Qi and Yin."
Xu Ting was in the Chinese herbal medicine business, and he understood what Chen Yin said, so he subconsciously replied:
"Should I take Chaihu Sini San to treat the symptoms?"
"That's right, but we also need to add a dose of Zhuling Decoction to nourish Yin and eliminate dampness."
As she spoke, Chen Yin took out a pen and paper from her bag and increased or decreased the dosage of the two prescriptions based on Xu Lexin's situation.
But when she finished writing and handed it to Xu Ting, Xu Ting found that there were two different prescriptions written on the paper.
"Niece, what is this?"
"Prescribe the right medicine for the right condition. The above prescription is appropriate. After taking two doses, if your vital organs are functioning properly and you see signs of stagnant heat spreading to your skin and pores, switch to the following prescription to achieve recovery. As for buying and boiling the medicine, I believe you understand it well, so I won't elaborate."
“Okay, okay!”
Xu Ting touched his belly happily and looked at Chen Yin with surprise.
He really didn't expect that the other party could even predict the symptoms after taking two doses of medicine. How could he not be cured?
Compared with Chen Yin, the doctor he had seen before really treated him recklessly and almost harmed his child.
When Xu Ting thought about the three generations of his family, two of which were healed by the Chen father and daughter, he could not control the joy in his heart, and he liked Chen Yin more and more the more he looked at her.
Rongyi was the same. She wished Chen Yin was her own daughter and would definitely bring her out to show off to others.
Now she was envious of Dr. Chen and his wife.
On the side, Xu Ting called the shop staff to bring the medicine back, and at the same time warmly invited Chen Yin and the other two to stay at his home for dinner.
Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, Chen Yin looked at her uncle and cousin, and nodded with a smile.
At the dinner table, Grandpa Xu Minfu knew that Chen Yin was the daughter of Doctor Chen Nanhe, so he insisted on pulling Chen Yin to sit next to him and entertain her personally.
After the meal, Chen Yin was so full that she could hardly walk.
She was frightened by the overly enthusiastic enthusiasm and declined the Xu family's offer to let her stay overnight. Then the three of them appeared in a hotel near the Chinese medicinal materials market.
At this time, Wu Wenbo's face was still flushed with excitement, and his body and mind were still immersed in the shock brought by the Xu family.
Because he had drunk a little, he kept chattering with his clumsy tongue.
"Hic--Yinyin, the Xu family is really...hiccup...rich. They actually live in such a...hiccup...such a big house. If one day...one day..."
Wu Qiufeng couldn't bear to see his son's stupid look any more, so he covered his mouth with his hand and turned to look at his niece.
"Yinyin, don't worry about him. He's drunk and acting like a fool. Let's go find a hotel first so we can rest up and be refreshed for the day ahead."
"It's okay, uncle."
Chen Yin waved her hand nonchalantly, walked in front, and led people to a hotel with the best environment.
The moment he entered the room, Wu Qiufeng saw the magnificent hotel and wanted to say something, but after taking a look at his niece's beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
I thought: It’s safer to stay in a better hotel, no matter how expensive it is.
The next day, when Wu Wenbo woke up, he felt a splitting headache. He held his head tightly with both hands and slowly opened his eyes after a long time.
The next second, he was startled by his father who was sitting beside the bed, "Dad, why are you here?"
Wu Qiufeng really couldn't stand his son's silly look, so he slapped him on the head.
“Bang!”
"Are you awake? Hurry up and get up and brush your teeth. Yinyin has already gotten up to pack the herbs. If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have gone with you."
Wu Qiufeng became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and even wanted to slap his son again, but when he saw his son's pale face, he reluctantly gave up.
"Also, next to your bed is the hangover soup Yinyin made for you in someone else's place. Drink it to sober you up. Come and help."
Hearing this, Wu Wenbo's originally distorted face suddenly became soft, "Hehe! Yinyin is so nice."
"That's great, why don't you get up and help!"
On the other side, Xu Ting wiped the sweat from his face while trying hard to lift the box to load the goods.
"Yinyin, take a break. We'll pick out all the herbs soon. After they're loaded into the truck, you can go home together."
After the consultation yesterday, Chen Yin refused to accept any money, saying that they had known each other for a long time and she was just helping to take a look, so there was no need to be polite.
But with such a great favor, how could Xu Ting and his wife do nothing?
After taking just one dose of medicine last night, my son's condition improved a lot.
The two of them pondered over it all night and felt that they still needed to put some thought into the medicinal herbs they purchased this time.
Finally, the couple decided to hire more temporary workers to prepare the medicinal materials Chen Yin needed as soon as possible.
By the way, please help find a car to transport the medicinal materials directly back to Tongxi Town.
In this way, the reward will go to where Chen Yin really needs it. If the clinic opens as soon as possible, maybe it can save other people in need.
Chen Yin responded, but still did not stop what she was doing.
After a while, Wu Qiufeng and his son Wu Wenbo also arrived to help.
Wu Wenbo held the bitter taste in his mouth while smelling the medicinal smell in the air, his facial features gradually wrinkled. It was the first time he felt that the taste of Chinese medicine was so unpleasant. He would never get drunk again, and he never wanted to taste the hangover soup made by his cousin again.
With everyone's efforts, a full cart of medicinal materials was loaded onto the truck.
Chen Yin and Wu Qiufeng also got on the car and left towards Tongxi Town under the sight of everyone.
In the evening, the rumbling sound of large trucks woke up the residents who were having dinner.
Everyone came out of their homes curiously, holding their bowls, leaning against their own doors, or gathered with friends, eating while stretching their necks to look in the direction where the sound was approaching.
When they saw the size of the truck, the group of people widened their eyes in shock, and even the food in their hands lost its flavor.
Especially when he saw the truck stop in front of the clinic, his jaw dropped.
Li Chunli stood on tiptoe and raised her head, and only then could she see through the glass window that Chen Yin was sitting in the car.
She screamed excitedly, "Dongmei! Dongmei, come quickly! Your Yinyin is back in the car——"
