Chapter 38 Hidden Deeply
"Song Yuntang, why are you yelling for no reason? You're disturbing Doctor Li from treating my father!" Qiao Er shouted at Song Yuntang angrily.
"No, no." Doctor Li waved his hand and followed Qiao Er's gaze to Song Yuntang's side. He took her elbow and ran into the house. "Miss Song, I am not very knowledgeable and can't find the cause of Mr. Qiao's illness. You come and take a look at him. I will help you."
Doctor Li looked to be in his thirties or forties, and he was quite humble when facing Song Yuntang.
In his opinion, this girl must have some skills, as she was able to roughly describe Mr. Qiao's pulse and symptoms based on hearsay alone, even before the diagnosis was made.
The Qiao family members in the yard and the villagers who were watching the excitement outside the yard were all stunned by this scene.
"Doctor Li just said that he was helping Song Yuntang? Did I hear that correctly?"
"What's going on? Song Yuntang just said some nonsense, but he actually guessed Mr. Qiao's condition correctly?"
The younger generations of the Qiao family were curious and put their heads close to the windows and doors to look at what was going on in the house.
Song Yuntang came to Uncle Qiao's bedside, first took his pulse, then looked at his tongue coating, and roughly determined the cause of his illness.
"Can Uncle Qiao still lift his legs?"
Uncle Qiao moved, trying to lift his lower limbs, but found that he was unable to do so.
He shook his head weakly.
"no."
Song Yuntang hummed, "I can probably determine the cause of the disease."
Inside the house, Qiao Da asked cautiously, "Can it be cured?"
Just now, Doctor Li shook his head while taking his pulse, which really scared him. Although he didn't know how good Song Yuntang's medical skills were, what Doctor Li said just now and Song Yuntang's performance just now did give him hope.
Song Zhi stepped forward, held Song Yuntang's hand, and pleaded, "Tang'er, if you have a way, you must save our Lao Qiao."
Doctor Li also looked at Song Yuntang seriously. He had never encountered a situation like Mr. Qiao before and wanted to hear the diagnosis results from the girl in front of him.
"Don't worry, his disease is not difficult to cure."
Song Yuntang took out a silver needle from his sleeve.
"Uncle Qiao's limbs are weak due to potassium deficiency, and coupled with liver and kidney deficiency, it looks particularly serious. I will give him acupuncture to help him walk again temporarily, and then prescribe a Chinese medicine for him to regulate his body. You can give him more beans, mushrooms, fruits and lotus seeds these days."
In previous years, although the conditions at home were not good, there were still fruits and vegetables. But this year, with the drought like this, there are only a few edible vegetables in the fields, and there are not many to be found on the mountains either.
Qiao Da nodded, "I remember everything. Thank you."
Song Yuntang ignored him and under the gaze of everyone inside and outside the room, he took out silver needles from the needle bag and inserted needles at Jianyu, Quchi, Hegu, and Yangxi points on the upper limbs, and at Biguan, Liangqiu, Zusanli, and Jiexi points on the lower limbs.
Because Mr. Qiao suffered from liver and kidney yin deficiency, he was treated with tonifying acupuncture and added the liver point, kidney point, Xuan Zhong point, and Yang Ling Quan point.
After this operation, Uncle Qiao felt that his legs gradually regained some strength.
After the acupuncture treatment, Song Yuntang removed the silver needles.
"Uncle Qiao can be helped up and walk around."
After hearing this, Qiao Da went forward to help Uncle Qiao, but Uncle Qiao pushed his hand away. He sat up by himself, holding on to the headboard, raised his legs and put on his shoes, and he was actually able to stand up!
Song Zhi was surprised and happy, wiping away tears.
"That's great, your dad is not paralyzed, that's great!" She pulled Song Yuntang, "Thank you Tang'er, thank you so much!"
The people outside the house were first stunned, then shocked, and finally delighted.
“This is amazing!”
He was able to stand up after being pricked with a few small silver needles.
If this incident had not really happened in their own home, they would have thought that someone was acting with Song Yuntang.
Doctor Li came back to his senses from the shock.
"Miss Song can easily solve such a difficult disease. I admire her."
Song Yuntang stuffed the silver needle bag back into his sleeve and shook his head, "This disease is not a difficult one. With effective medicine, it won't take long to be completely cured. Doctor Li just hasn't encountered it before."
She took out a charcoal pencil and paper and wrote down a prescription for Hu Qian Wan.
Doctor Li was watching from the side and asked, "Miss Song, I wonder what the pharmacology of this prescription is?"
"Ox bones and ox knees strengthen tendons and bones, Cynomorium songaricum warms the kidneys and benefits essence, Angelica sinensis and white peony root nourish blood and soften the liver, Phellodendron chinense, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Rehmannia glutinosa and tortoise shell nourish yin and clear away heat. The combination of these two is most suitable for Uncle Qiao's current symptoms." After Song Yuntang finished speaking, he handed the written prescription to Uncle Qiao.
"You can ask the pharmacy to make it into pills, or just boil it and take it directly. Take one dose a day, divided into three meals."
Qiao Da took it with both hands, "Thank you."
Seeing this, Song Zhi took out an extremely small and simple gray purse from her waist.
"Doctor Li, Tang'er, I wonder how to pay for this consultation?"
Doctor Li glanced in Song Yuntang's direction and said, "Mr. Qiao's illness was diagnosed by Miss Song. I have learned a few things from Miss Song today. I will pay her the consultation fee."
Song Yuntang did not refuse. It was normal for her to be paid for her labor. "We are all from the same village. I won't charge you for acupuncture. The consultation fee is thirty cents."
For such a serious illness, charging only thirty cents for the consultation fee is already very conscientious.
Song Zhi showed gratitude on her face and hurriedly urged Qiao Da beside her to pay the medical fee to Song Yuntang.
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Song Yuntang did not stay here for long. He took the medical fee and left.
Doctor Li saw this and quickly put on his medicine box and trotted after Song Yuntang. "Miss Song, wait a minute. I still have some questions that I want to ask you."
After Song Yuntang and Doctor Li left in the stunned eyes of the villagers, Uncle Qiao also walked out of the house with the help of Brother Qiao.
The people outside the yard couldn't see what was happening inside the house just now, so when they saw Uncle Qiao, they were all shocked.
"Uncle Qiao, is this all right?"
Uncle Qiao laughed heartily, "Yes, thanks to the third brother's daughter. If it weren't for her, I really wouldn't be able to stand up today."
Someone asked in a skeptical tone, "Is Song Yuntang really that powerful?"
Qiao Er touched his nose, regretting his initial actions. "I saw it clearly outside the door just now. It was indeed she who cured my father's illness. I wanted to chase her away at first, but now I think about it and feel ashamed."
People came with good intentions to treat his father, but he actually drove them away. He really doesn't know what's good for him.
The daughters-in-law and old women who were watching the fun around were even more surprised.
"Song Yuntang can actually heal illnesses? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"After all, she is a young lady from a wealthy family, so she is somewhat arrogant and doesn't bother to show off to us."
"She hid it really well then."
Unconsciously, everyone's impression of Song Yuntang had undergone subtle changes.
