Liu Yihang was sorting through and piecing together the porcelain fragments when he received a call from Qin Meihua.
Upon learning that he had returned to China, Qin Meihua naturally extended her greetings and, citing Liu Yihang's previous act of saving Luo Minsheng, invited him to her home for dinner the following day.
He was also specifically reminded to bring his parents along.
Liu Yihang was very happy to hear that Luo Minsheng's health had improved significantly, and readily agreed.
Alright, let's stop sorting the porcelain for now and go prepare gifts for them.
The watch Qin Meihua gave him last time was worth over ten thousand yuan, not counting all the other gifts. He had to prepare a proper return gift so as not to be impolite.
When visiting a patient, in addition to buying a fruit basket, you can also prepare some expensive tonics, such as donkey-hide gelatin, deer antler, ginseng, cordyceps, saffron, and lingzhi, which are all excellent medicinal materials.
But the key is to buy genuine products; otherwise, you'll have spent the money and it will be very impolite.
Liu Yihang recalled that the old Chinese medicine doctor on the plane had left him his contact information. His family was a family of Chinese medicine practitioners and had many Chinese medicine clinics in Tianzhou City. He believed that the old doctor should have channels to purchase these medicinal materials.
Even if it's just because he saved my life, he wouldn't betray me, right?
Liu Yihang immediately pulled out his phone and made the call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Ren Tianxing?"
Grandpa Ren on the other end immediately recognized the voice: "Little Liu? It's me, it's me. You've returned to China?"
"Mr. Ren, I just got back. I'm calling because I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"Go ahead," Ren Tianxing said without hesitation.
He thought to himself that no matter what Liu Yihang needed, he would do his best to help him; he could not forget the life-saving grace.
"Here's the thing, an elder of mine has just recovered from a serious illness, and I wanted to send him some precious Chinese herbal medicines to help him recover, but I don't know where to buy them and I'm afraid of buying counterfeit products, so I thought of you."
"As long as the product is good, price is not a problem. He can afford all of these things now."
"That's very simple. Do you have time to come over now? Let's meet, and I'll prepare it for you personally." This was no big deal for Ren Tianxing.
"That would be great. Give me your address, and I'll be right there." Liu Yihang casually picked up the car keys from the shelf.
"I'm seeing patients right now at a shop in the city center, Tongjitang. Do you know this area?"
"Tongjitang in the city center? I know that. Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Tongjitang, located in the city center, was not far from their courtyard house. He could see it every time he drove by, never expecting that it was actually owned by Old Master Ren.
This old man was quite trendy. Despite being a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, he could speak English and use a mobile phone. For the first time, Liu Yihang felt that people could not be defined by age.
I haven't seen my parents yet since I'm back, so I'll go to the courtyard house to say hello first, and then go to Tongjitang to pick out some medicinal herbs.
When Liu Xiangdong and Lin Guihua saw their son return safely, their hearts finally settled down.
In the face of their son's life, money didn't matter. They were willing to go back to the poor days of the past, as long as the family was together.
This is how it is after becoming a parent: a mother worries when her child travels far away, fearing that her child can't fly, or that he will fly too high and fall down and break his wings.
Upon learning that Qin Meihua was hosting a dinner party the next day, the two hurriedly urged Liu Yihang to buy gifts, telling him to pick good ones and not to be impolite.
Liu Yihang drove to Tongjitang.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw several people carrying a child rushing toward Tongjitang, shouting as they ran, "Make way, make way, excuse me, the child is waiting to be saved."
Liu Yihang followed curiously.
Several people rushed into Tongjitang and shouted, "Dr. Ren, please take a look! The child is clutching his stomach and crying out in pain, rolling on the ground."
Judging from the looks of it, this is a resident from the neighborhood who is quite familiar with Ren Tianxing.
Ren Tianxing quickly got up to check on the child.
The child looked to be two or three years old, and his speech wasn't very fluent yet. He pulled hard on his stomach and cried out, "Miaomiao hurts!"
The pain was more than just a normal stomachache. In the dead of winter, the child was sweating profusely, crying incessantly, with snot and tears streaming down his face.
It was heartbreaking to watch, and people queuing for medical treatment all turned to look.
"Did the child have an upset stomach?" asked a bystander.
The child's mother quickly shook her head: "No, I think it was a sudden attack."
After taking his pulse, Ren Tianxing shook his head in confusion.
He didn't notice anything unusual.
The child's mother asked, "Miaomiao, did you eat something inappropriate?"
The little girl burrowed into her father's arms and shook her head desperately.
Just when the group was at a loss.
While watching, Liu Yihang suddenly had a brilliant idea. Since his X-ray vision could see through everything, it could also see through the human body. Maybe he could see what was going on inside the child's belly.
Without hesitation, he used his X-ray vision to penetrate the child's stomach and went directly to the spot the child was covering.
There was a small iron nail, about two centimeters long, lying in her intestines. No one knew how she had swallowed it. The sharp end of the nail had scratched the child's delicate intestines, which explained why she was crying so heartbreakingly.
I did see the lesion, but how to tell others is another problem. I can't just say that I can see it!
"Sister, please think carefully about what your child played with before their stomach hurt. Maybe they swallowed something foreign," Liu Yihang reminded her.
Ren Tianxing then noticed that Liu Yihang had arrived. The two nodded to each other as a greeting, but there was no time for small talk.
The child's mother stammered, "I don't know. I was tidying up in the kitchen while she was playing outside. Suddenly she started crying and saying she was in pain. I shouldn't have gone to tidy up; I should have stayed with her." She buried her face in her hands, filled with self-reproach.
The child's father, however, remained somewhat rational. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said, "Xiaoqin, think about it, did Miaomiao open my toolbox?"
The child's grandmother suddenly realized and clapped her hands: "She must have taken something from the toolbox. I think I glanced at the ground before she left and saw a few nails. I wondered who had thrown the nails on the ground!"
“A nail? How long of a nail? That’s possible,” Ren Tianxing nodded.
“Just a two-centimeter nail,” the child’s grandmother gestured with her hand.
The child's mother quickly asked her daughter, "Miaomiao, tell Mommy, did you swallow a nail? Mommy won't blame you, but you must tell the truth, otherwise your tummy will keep hurting."
The girl glanced around timidly, and seeing everyone staring at her nervously, she nestled in her father's arms and slowly nodded.
We've finally found the reason.
"Dr. Ren, such a big nail shouldn't be a problem, right? Can we pull it out ourselves?" the child's father asked.
“Not necessarily. Judging from her reaction to the pain, the nail may have scratched her intestines. This is no small matter and could cause a more serious reaction.” Ren Tianxing frowned seriously.
"What should we do now?!"
