Chapter 705 How could Chang'an City be without Physician Li!
Upon seeing Li San Niang and her companions emerge, especially upon seeing Li San Niang herself, an elderly woman from one of the families excitedly called out to her, "Doctor Li!"
This forced Li San Niang to speak to the family on her left first. After the four of them sat down properly and talked with Li San Niang for a while, she understood their demands.
This has indeed become Li San Niang's specialty now.
It turns out that this family, consisting of three men and one woman, was brought by an elderly woman, her daughter who had returned to her parents' home for a visit, along with her youngest son and daughter-in-law. They had come all the way from Yongpingfang to see Li Sanniang for infertility treatment.
Yes, I just wanted to see how to have a baby.
"I just got home, and you managed to find me so accurately. That's quite impressive."
The old woman probably didn't understand Li San Niang's question when she heard what she said, but the young man standing behind her, who had been looking down, raised his head when he heard Li San Niang's words.
When Li Sanniang saw him look up, she naturally looked up at him. When Li Sanniang looked at him like that, the young man bowed slightly with a bit of embarrassment: "Please forgive me, Doctor Li. We know that Doctor Li has just returned home. However, the fact that I have been married for many years but have not had a child is a heartache for my mother."
We had heard that Dr. Li was very skilled at having children, so we went to Yongpingfang before, but the people at the clinic told us that Dr. Li had gone to the outskirts of Beijing and we didn't know when he would return.
I was anxious, so I gave the street vendor a deposit, asking him to let us know if he saw Dr. Li return home.
I hope Dr. Li will understand; I was just desperate for a cure.
"Dr. Li, please take a look at my Fugui. We're so grateful to you, Dr. Li."
After hearing these words, before she could utter a single word, Li San Niang received the old woman's anxious gaze again and could only sigh, gesturing to the young man named Fu Gui to sit down.
After taking her pulse, Li San Niang not only took the pulse of Fu Gui's wife, Chun Lai Niangzi, but also conducted a physical examination.
"Please excuse me, Aunt and this lady, I have some private matters to ask Fugui and Chunlai."
“Oh dear, Dr. Li, I am his own mother, how could I not listen to anything? I…”
Before the old woman could finish speaking, she was pulled away by the older woman, whose face was already flushed with embarrassment. While pulling the old woman, the older woman whispered, "Mother, why do you still want to hear about what happens in the wealthy household?"
"Hurry up, the female doctor already told us to leave."
Although the old woman got up following the older woman's hand and moved her feet, her expression was still unpleasant, and she muttered, "Isn't it just that kind of thing?"
I am their mother, what's wrong with that...
After Li Gui led the old woman and the older woman to the medicine cabinet, and they were some distance away from where Li San Niang was taking pulses, Li San Niang softened her voice and said to Fu Gui and Chun Lai, "Alright, it's just the three of us now."
I'll ask you questions, and you can answer them. Don't feel embarrassed. I've seen a lot about this matter of offspring. Rest assured, these are private matters, and no one else will know about them except for you and me.
My first question is, how frequently have you had intercourse over the past year?
However, after asking such a simple question, Chunlai's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed. Helpless, Li Sanniang could only look at the man, Fugui, hoping that he could explain it properly.
Fu Gui was truly eager for a child, and Li San Niang could sense his embarrassment. But after a few moments, she still heard Fu Gui's stiff and wooden reply.
That's good. Now that we've got a starting point, it'll be easier to ask the questions.
Half an hour later, Li San Niang, combining the consultation with the previous pulse diagnosis and physical examination, had basically confirmed the problem.
"You should take this soup for half a month first. During this period, you must not have sexual intercourse and need to conserve your energy."
"I should be able to return home in half a month. If I don't, you two should go to the drug rehabilitation center on the outskirts of Beijing to look for me."
The old woman happily took the two pieces of paper given to her by Li San Niang, saying, "Thank you, Dr. Li! Thank you, Dr. Li!"
I will definitely make sure they both take their medicine properly, so that my son can have an heir!
After seeing this family off, another family was waiting for Li San Niang.
Li San Niang stood up and went to the wooden bed opposite the medicine cabinet. Li's father and second brother had already examined the man lying there and noticed the bandaged leg.
"How are you, Father? Second Brother?"
Li's father stroked his beard without saying a word, while Li's second brother stepped forward to explain to Li's third sister: "Wang's eldest son broke his leg when he fell while cutting wood on the mountain four months ago."
Li Erxiong's words were met with nods of approval from the Wang family members, who were clearly a simple and honest farming family.
"At that time, they did consult doctors in the three outer cities, and the wound was fixed with wooden boards."
However, the wooden board was not adjusted properly in the later stages, and Wang Dalang's bone grew out of place. Li Erxiong lifted the bandages that had been removed and pointed to Wang Dalang's calf for Li Sanniang to see.
Li Sanniang noticed the bones were clearly bent. "Did you move while the wooden planks were in place?"
“I also asked him, and he said that he had no one to take care of him at home, so he started to move around on his own two months ago. Later, he couldn’t take it and fell, and he couldn’t stand up at all, so he came to me.”
Li San Niang nodded and stepped forward, about to touch the bones to see what was going on, when Wang's father, mother, and son suddenly knelt down in unison before her.
Tell me, if three people were to kowtow to you at the same time, wouldn't you be afraid?
Before Li San Niang could call for anyone to get up, the Queen Mother, who had just raised her head, was already in tears, crying so sadly. From her somewhat hoarse sobs, Li San Niang drew two conclusions.
First, the doctor who directed the Wang family to find Li Sanniang was from the outer three cities. Judging from the conversation, this doctor had heard Li Sanniang teach before and felt that Li Sanniang, who could teach surgery, could have a solution for such a case where the bone had grown crooked and then broken again.
Secondly, the Wang family ran out of money, and they used their last bit of money to pay the thugs at the Li family's door.
After finally managing to get the three members of the Wang family to their feet, Li San Niang examined Wang Da Lang's leg and, facing the hopeful gazes of the four, said: "I can cure him. He should be able to walk normally again, but he probably won't be able to do heavy physical labor, such as going up the mountain to chop wood."
When they heard Li Sanniang say she could cure it, the four members of the Wang family had their eyes light up with the brightest look they had ever seen since Li Sanniang first met them.
"There's hope! My son is saved!"
"I don't have to be a useless person anymore! I don't have to be a useless person anymore!"
Then, Wang Mu knelt down before Li San Niang again: "Thank you, Doctor Li! Thank you, Doctor Li!"
The people of Chang'an are so fortunate to have Physician Li!
Okay, okay, okay!
