Chapter 88088 Hirschsprung's Disease & Mistaking the Fake for the Real
"She not only needs enema now, but also becomes dependent on it. In the words of Mr. Sato, she needs to make a living by enema."
Shu Jinyue: "..."
She was not conservative and did not think that this treatment was equal to humiliation, but in the eyes of conservative people of that era, especially the Japanese, this was indeed not a very dignified treatment method.
"Have you been using this method to defecate for the past three months?"
"Yes." Mo Shuyi's face was a little solemn. After thinking about it, he decided to give her a shot of prevention first, "If Mr. Sato says something unpleasant later, don't take it to heart. That's just his personality."
Jin Yue nodded. She seldom got angry with the patients' families. She did so in the first two years of her medical practice in her previous life, but later she found it unnecessary and just took it easy.
Mo Shuyi said carefully: "Teacher Sato likes to criticize. He will criticize anything he doesn't like. He has offended many pharmaceutical companies and colleagues. Although his medical skills and academic abilities are not bad in Japan, his professional title has not been promoted because he disdains to be a good guy like other colleagues. He has a bad relationship with others."
Jin Yue thought to himself: She is quite similar to Ms. Zhao Wanqiu. She is also not afraid of offending others.
"But he doesn't hold grudges. In Longguo dialect, he is very straightforward. He says what he thinks and forgets it. He is not hypocritical and fussy like other Japanese people I have met. He is just an ordinary Japanese person who is easy to get along with. That's all."
The two soon arrived at Shilan Hotel.
I held my wedding banquet here not long ago, and Jin Yue has an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this place. Sato's family of three lived in a suite. After knocking on the door, Jin Yue saw a thin old man who was about the same size and had a similar expression as Teacher Shu.
"Teacher, this is Dr. Shu." Mo Shuyi introduced in Chinese.
Sato also said to Jin Yue in slightly awkward Chinese: "Hello, Dr. Shu."
Behind him was a middle-aged woman in her fifties, wearing a very casual knitted jacket and floral dress. She lowered her head, and her appearance could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of ears close to her scalp were exposed.
It was clearly a very casual outfit, but Jin Yue always felt that she was wearing a kimono. She is the typical image of a Japanese housewife, following her husband with her head lowered, speaking softly, and serving her husband attentively and considerately.
Jin Yue speculated that Sato should be a typical East Asian patriarch (man), so he should be the most opposed to enema therapy. This time, it was definitely him who took the initiative to come to him.
Sure enough, the first thing he did when they met was to criticize this therapy for three minutes. Sometimes when he got emotional, he didn't know how to say it in Chinese, so he mixed it with Japanese. Jin Yue listened quietly without refutation because she was too lazy to refute.
It is undeniable that enema therapy has its disadvantages, but compared with saving lives, what is this "humiliation"?
After Sato had criticized a lot, he finally realized that the young girl opposite was just listening quietly. He felt embarrassed first: "I'm sorry, you only listened to my complaints. I'll ask Meiko to come out and you can help her."
Mrs. Sato entered the room and waited for about ten minutes before Jin Yue saw a skinny girl slowly walking out with the support of Mrs. Sato. I dare not use too much force when walking, and I dare not walk too much, as if I am afraid that the bones in my knees or hips will fall apart.
How thin is she? Wasn’t Jin Yue very thin when he just came back from the countryside? But when they compared, although they were both 19 years old, Jin Yue felt that she was twice as old as she is now.
Looking at that face that was so thin that only two big eye sockets were left, Jin Yue found it hard to imagine what Mo Shuyi said, that she was a chubby child when she was young.
Meizi was very silent. Her eyes were not like Li Xiangyang's, which showed a calm look as if he was determined to die. Instead, she looked timid and seemed very afraid of strangers. So, Jin Yue didn't have any physical contact with her right away, but chatted with her first.
Although Miko has an inferiority complex, Sato's family background is there and she has received English education since childhood, so Kon Yue has no problem communicating with her in English.
"Is Miss Meiko still in school now?"
"No, I've been recuperating at home for two years."
"Can you eat some food now?"
"rare."
Shu Jinyue had no expression on his face, but he was sighing in his heart. Any disease would make people unable to eat, because people all knew that this meant malnutrition, poor resistance, and a bad outcome.
Sato, the straight talker, interrupted again, "This is the most recent X-ray we did at Tokyo Hospital in Japan three days ago. Doctor Shu, do you think it helps?"
Ion Yue took over, and Sato Miko did an X-ray, which showed that the colon was very thick from the ascending part to the descending part, and was as thick as the fist of a tall adult man!
Compared to her thin body, her colon is terrifyingly large. No wonder she was diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease. It is a truly "giant, gigantic" colon.
The pathogenesis of this disease is actually very simple and relatively clear. It is different from common intestinal diseases such as hemorrhoids, ulcers, intestinal tumors, and intestinal polyps, which are acquired diseases closely related to eating habits and bowel movements, while megacolon is mostly a congenital disease. Of course, nothing is absolute. Megacolon in adults can also be acquired, that is, secondary.
"Currently, I have consulted many intestinal disease experts in Europe and the United States. Hirschsprung's disease is mainly caused by defects in the ganglion cells of the intestinal wall during embryonic development."
Jin Yue nodded and continued, "The intestinal segments lacking ganglion cells cannot contract and relax in an orderly manner and cannot push the stool forward, so the stool is retained and blocked in the intestine, which in turn causes the corresponding segment of the intestine to expand, thicken and proliferate."
Sato was very surprised. The reason he wanted to explain in the beginning was simply because he didn't trust Jin Yue very much.
Of course, his selection of talents has always been different from the mainstream thinking in Japan. He likes to select and employ young people the most. He thinks that young people's professional abilities are no worse than those of old men and women. Therefore, his distrust of Jin Yue does not come from her age, but from her professionalism.
After meeting Japanese traditional Chinese medicine doctors, he found that they all had one thing in common - they quoted from classics and said things he couldn't understand, but knew nothing about clinical medicine.
He thought she was just like those traditional Chinese medicine doctors, not knowing advanced modern medical knowledge, but the way she responded made it clear that she knew more than he did!
Sato wondered: Isn’t it said that the current Dragon Country is very closed and backward? When Mo Shuyi saw those very ordinary and daily equipment in his laboratory, he was so moved that he cried, saying that he had never seen such advanced scientific research equipment in his life.
Has Longguo's current level of medical education developed to such an advanced level?
When he thought of this possibility, he felt disappointed and angry at the backward Japan, especially those arrogant and ignorant colleagues. "Our Japanese doctors are really ridiculous. Not only did they encourage us to do enema therapy, but they also said that if we resolutely refused enema, we would have to have a bowel surgery, which would require partial removal of the colon."
"I consulted Dr. Kobayashi, the most famous Kampo doctor in Japan. He suggested that we not have surgery but to see a Kampo doctor first."
Shu Jinyue: "..."
It’s Dr. Kobayashi again. I feel like I have a connection with him.
As if seeing that she was interested in Kobayashi, Sato continued to explain, "Dr. Kobayashi is the most famous Kampo doctor in Japan. He is very good at using Kampo to treat difficult and complicated diseases. He has also invented many Kampo medicines that can treat many common diseases. He started selling a drug called 'Wei Shengye' two years ago. It is injected into the x-ray site of patients with gastroptosis, and the effect is very good. Compared with surgical treatment, this treatment is simple, convenient, inexpensive, and non-invasive. Our medical community generally appreciates it."
Shu Jinyue almost burst out laughing. As for Kobayashi's medical skills, it was reasonable to say that they were the "most famous" in Japan, but it was impossible to say that they were the "most powerful" because this guy was just a marketing guy from beginning to end!
He is good at climbing the social ladder and has some fame in Japanese upper society, but when it comes to medical skills, after what happened to Yamaguchi Sachiko, Kon Yue is confident that he can beat him.
But even for such a person, Jin Yue couldn't completely deny him. At least he did use Chinese medicine to treat diseases and save lives. At least he promoted Chinese medicine and could be considered an ambassador for its promotion.
Seeing her smile, Mo Shuyi also smiled.
Sato was confused, "Why, did I say something wrong?"
Mo Shuyi laughed even louder, "Teacher, do you know where Dr. Xiaolin gets his stomach-raising liquid from?"
"What? Purchasing?! Didn't he say that this was their family's secret recipe, which was developed over many years, carefully selected, and formulated using 48 processes...even the packaging is so exquisite that it can be collected as a work of art."
Mo Shuyi was not polite at all, and laughed until tears almost came out: "Hahaha, you really believe it? His stomach-raising liquid, from the medicine to the packaging, is actually imported from our Shucheng City Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory! And his so-called precious medicinal materials with exquisite packaging and gift boxes that are worthy of being works of art are also imported from our city's traditional Chinese medicine factory."
Sato looked confused. "The last time I met him at a cocktail party, he said that stomach-raising fluid was his own secret recipe."
Mo Shuyi put away his smile and snorted coldly. Look, this is still using Dragon Country's packaging, and he can lie like that. If I really sell the formula to him, it will become his "invention". He can even make up a perfect inheritance lineage from the Yayoi period!
Shu Jinyue also found it funny. This marketing guy is so shameless.
Sato was shocked. He was a very matter-of-fact person. "I was cheated by this liar!"
He couldn't stand this kind of deception! asshole!
Mo Shuyi continued to give him a little shock: "Then teacher, do you know who is the real owner of the secret recipe of Weishengye?"
Sato thought about it. Based on his experience with traditional Chinese medicine doctors over the years, he said, "It should be a great ancient doctor from more than a thousand years ago, right?"
Mo Shuyi shook his head, "That doctor is still alive."
"Could he be an old doctor with gray hair and beard, many years of clinical experience, and a high reputation? I wonder if you can introduce me to him and let me meet him. Do I have such an honor?"
Mo Shuyi couldn't hold it back any longer and laughed again, "This doctor is both far away and close at hand."
Sato was stunned. He was not stupid. There were only a few people in the room. He looked at Shu Jinyue, "Could it be... could it be this Doctor Shu?"
"Yes, it was Dr. Shu. She cured a very serious gastroptosis patient by using the method of gastric fluid injection. The examination during the course of the disease was done in our hospital, and a backup was kept for reference. I witnessed the whole process... Later, she cured many cases in succession, so Shucheng Chinese Medicine Factory bought her secret recipe, produced it into finished medicine, and put it on the market in large quantities. Dr. Xiaolin found Dr. Shu through word of mouth of patients."
Mo Shuyi told the whole story, omitting the part about how Jin Yue and Deputy Director Su tricked Xiao Lin. The final conclusion was -
"Xiao Lin took the credit and honor for himself, relying on the fact that no one in Japan knew about this. But we have the contract that Dr. Shu signed with Shucheng Chinese Medicine Factory three years earlier, as well as the contract he signed with him two years ago. We even have at least fifty clinical trial materials that can be traced back to the source. His lies are self-defeating."
If it really comes to an international confrontation, they can contact the subjects who voluntarily participated in the experiment in minutes!
Sato was silent for a long time, unable to utter a word.
He looked at the young man in front of him with a pair of cloudy and shrewd eyes: in addition to deep admiration, he now also felt tremendous anger.
Xiaolin is a liar!
He is a guy who is only seeking fame and reputation and is not trustworthy. When he returns to Japan, I must explain everything to my colleagues and tear off his mask!
Shu Jinyue actually didn't care too much about it. After all, to be fair, the person who actually "invented" and used this recipe was not her, but her master's master. She just improved it on this basis and it had no technical content at all. Besides, Kobayashi's achievement was a blessing in disguise. He did contribute to the spread of traditional Chinese medicine around the world.
As long as he continues to use it, the Chinese medicine factory will continue to make big money. As long as he keeps using it, they will keep making money. She, Shu Jinyue, will continue to receive dividends and have income... In the final analysis, Xiao Lin is just working for her.
Mo Shuyi didn't know that she was so good at comforting herself, so he continued to give Teacher Sato a little shock: "Teacher, Dr. Shu has a lot of effective prescriptions like this. Doesn't your wife get rhinitis every spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom?"
The Sato couple nodded, and Mrs. Sato even raised her head, "Could it be that Dr. Shu also has a secret recipe for this?"
"Yes, she just used her secret rhinitis recipe to cure dozens of patients with rhinitis not long ago. One of them was a patient who had suffered from severe olfactory nerve paralysis for 18 months and had completely lost his sense of smell."
Sato was shocked. "Can... I mean, if Dr. Shu is willing, can you also treat my wife? I will pay. My wife suffers a lot every year when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom."
There are countless Japanese people who suffer like her.
How many people suffer from rhinitis in Japan? Jin Yue has never done any statistics, but she has seen some posts on the forum saying that normal people in Long Country are very likely to suffer from pollen allergies and rhinitis after going to Japan, not to mention those Japanese who have lived on small islands under cherry trees all their lives?
What is floating in the air is not annoying pollen, but money!
Why didn't she think of it! The diseases that Japanese people are most likely to suffer from are stomach problems and rhinitis. But she has the prescriptions for these two diseases. It would be unjust if she didn't make money from it!
Mo Shuyi is indeed Jin Yue’s good friend. He immediately said, “Master’s wife’s rhinitis, Doctor Shu will definitely help her treat it. In fact, the price of this secret recipe in Longguo is still a bit expensive…”
"We're willing to accept any amount."
Shu Jinyue blinked: Ah?
What a good Dr. Mo! He even betrayed his own mentor!
However, his original intention was not to cheat his teacher. He wanted to help Jin Yue make money, so he would definitely have to raise the price. Given the economic income level of the Japanese people, it would not be justified if he still sold it to them at the Longguo price.
"Good things are worth a high price," Sato said forcefully.
Jin Yue laughed secretly in his heart, yes, yes, that’s absolutely right!
"Okay, now can I take Miss Miko's pulse?"
Everyone quickly focused their attention on Meizi. She seemed a little different from before - the way she looked at Jin Yue now was a little curious, and even a little admiring.
Admire her? Shu Jinyue smiled. If Sato Miko knew what she looked like when she was nineteen, she would not appreciate her.
Jin Yue put three fingers on it. Generally, the pulse of constipation is stringy, rapid, or a weak and thin pulse like Kang Yuqiong's, but Sato Miko's pulse is none of these.
Jin Yue raised an eyebrow, thinking that he had taken her pulse wrong, and immersed himself in taking her pulse for another five minutes, but her pulse was indeed weak. He could tell what a weak pulse looked like by looking at the literal meaning, but the feeling of a soft pulse was not easy to grasp.
The ancients said that this kind of pulse is "floating, thin and soft, like silk in water", and usually occurs in patients with dampness syndrome and deficiency syndrome.
But observing Sato Miko's tongue coating, it was thin, white and dry, which was "dry" and inconsistent with dampness syndrome, so using the method of elimination, Jin Yue felt that Miko's moist pulse should be caused by deficiency syndrome.
It just so happens that her weak and moist pulse is a sign of deficiency. Combined with her symptoms of fatigue in the limbs, shortness of breath, laziness to speak, loss of appetite and thin body, these are very consistent with the typical deficiency of the middle burner. Buzhong Yiqi Decoction combined with Siwu Decoction with modifications is the most appropriate treatment.
But she was not in a hurry to prescribe a prescription. "Can I borrow the prescription that Dr. Kobayashi wrote in Japan?"
Sato immediately handed over a whole folder of medical records, and Jin Yue read through them from beginning to end. From the initial rapid weight loss, which was mistakenly thought to be anorexia nervosa, to the later discovery of constipation, and then to the diagnosis of megacolon, the process was exactly the same as what Mo Shuyi had described.
The treatment process was the same, but he didn't understand Chinese medicine. He only heard fragments of it from Sato, who also didn't understand Chinese medicine. So when he first found Jin Yue, he only briefly mentioned Xiao Lin's treatment process. But Jin Yue was different. She saw it at a glance -
It turned out that the prescription prescribed by Xiaolin was a combination of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction and Siwu Decoction!
This is exactly the same as my diagnosis!
Generally speaking, the effect of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction in treating asthenic diseases will not be too fast. For example, the cure for Huang Mei's mother, Aunt Huang, was not effective after the first dose of the medicine. It took the third or fourth doses to show significant effects.
But Xiaolin prescribed six, seven, eight, nine... sixteen, a total of sixteen prescriptions, but they were of no use at all!
It can be seen that Xiaolin was also very surprised at the result that the medicine was ineffective. He changed the prescription twice and made some modifications and additions and subtractions, but it was still ineffective!
The constipation is still there, and because I took too many tonic medicines, my abdomen is obviously bloated and painful from time to time.
This shows that it’s not that the dosage is not large enough or the treatment course is not long enough, but that the medicine is not suitable for the disease at all!
Shu Jinyue immediately sat up straight, thanking Kobayashi for exploring the way ahead and proving her that she was on the wrong path - Sato Miko's illness was much more difficult than she had initially imagined.
No wonder a Chinese medicine doctor with some real skills like Xiao Lin was helpless and suggested that they come to Longguo. This is because he had treated the patients "badly" and did not want to take responsibility, so he deliberately pushed the patients to Longguo. Once they came here for treatment, no matter what the result was, he could insist that it was the work of the Chinese medicine doctor in Longguo and it had nothing to do with him.
There are such doctors in later generations, but not many.
Shu Jinyue calmed down and asked some detailed questions about Sato Miko's constipation: whether the stool was dry, how dry it was, whether it was difficult, whether there was blood or mucus, whether it was black in color, and other routine questions.
However, no useful clues were obtained.
She began to think quietly.
Mo Shuyi was always good at inspiring her: "That year you treated Master Kang's sister. Do you still remember her condition?"
Jin Yue certainly remembered that general constipation is characterized by dry stools and lack of lubrication in the intestines, but Kang Yuqiong's constipation was caused by blood deficiency. She rarely encountered such cases in clinical practice, so she was deeply impressed.
"Ms. Meiko and Kang Yuqiong have the same disease in traditional Chinese medicine, constipation, but there are some differences. Kang Yuqiong's condition is typical of blood deficiency constipation, so the use of blood-replenishing drugs has a very good laxative effect, but Miss Meiko's condition..." She didn't know how to describe it.
Mo Shuyi quickly understood, "You mean, Xiaolin's treatment method also used the idea of replenishing blood, but it was ineffective?"
"Yes, you can see that the prescription he prescribed contains the formula structure of Siwu Decoction. This prescription is known as the 'best blood-replenishing prescription of all time'. It is as important as aspirin to antipyretic and analgesic drugs."
Mo Shuyi nodded. So that's how it is. "That is why Meizi and Kang Yuqiong have the same disease, but the mechanisms of their illness are completely different?"
Jin Yue nodded.
Therefore, Chinese medicine has the saying of "different treatments for the same disease". In the era of popularization of short videos, many middle-aged and elderly people always see short videos under the banner of "popular science" such as "You can use this prescription for diabetes/hypertension/heart disease". When they see the short videos, they realize that they also have diabetes and high blood pressure, and they also take medicine according to this prescription. However, it turns out that it is completely useless after taking it, and the condition even gets worse.
This is the mystery of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also a profession that will never be replaced no matter how popular artificial intelligence becomes in the future.
Sato seemed to understand what was said nearby, but his Chinese was not that good, so he quickly asked his students what Dr. Shu had said.
"She said Meiko's condition was a little difficult and different from other cases of constipation she had treated before. She asked if she could be given some time to think."
"Of course. We will be in Dragon Country for a while. She has plenty of time to think."
Jin Yue really needed time to think, but Mrs. Sato's rhinitis was easier to deal with. Through observation, smell, questioning and palpation, she diagnosed her with typical spleen and lung qi deficiency type rhinitis. "I'll prepare some rhinitis medicine for you. Don't take it when you go home. Take it when your rhinitis comes back. If nothing goes wrong, it will be effective after taking it once. The symptoms will disappear completely in about three days. If you want to completely cure it, you still need to take it for about three courses of treatment."
She dared to say this because Mrs. Sato's rhinitis was not that serious at all. If it was serious, she would not be so sure.
In the end, with an expression that said "this is so cheap" on his face, Sato paid her ten yuan consultation fee and thirty yuan for the medicine.
There was no way around it. Even in large hospitals in later generations, the consultation fee for the international department was only about three times more expensive than that for the ordinary department. The ten yuan she charged was already more than three times more.
Shu Jinyue suddenly realized that if she wanted to make money, going out on her own would be the best way to make money. Usually, her registration fee at the outpatient clinic of the epidemic prevention station was only ten cents, and she had to hand over this ten cent in the end. She could only receive a fixed salary. In terms of income alone, there was no difference to her whether she saw a hundred patients or one.
"What are you thinking about?" After leaving Shilan Hotel, Mo Shuyi saw that he was in a daze and asked.
"I was thinking, why don't we go out and work on our own in the future?"
Mo Shuyi didn't quite understand, "What did you say?"
Now is the time for everyone to eat from the same pot. Private business owners have not yet been officially issued business licenses. Private hospitals only appeared in the early 1980s, just a few months ago, and private clinics will have to wait a few more years.
Of course, Jin Yue was just thinking about it. She hasn’t graduated from university yet, and she will have to wait a few more years to complete the five-year undergraduate program.
Mo Shuyi sent her to the entrance of Liuye Hutong, and Jin Yue waved, "Go back, Qingqing is probably still waiting for you."
Although she is married, Jin Yue's life has not changed much. She still goes back to the old house and chats with her parents.
"You're back? Just after seven o'clock, someone came to see you and said he was introduced by Sister Wang from the scrap recycling station."
Jin Yue was stunned, "Did you say anything?"
"He said he wanted to buy a bronze figure from you. Where do you get a bronze figure?" Zhao Wanqiu was a little surprised. She asked the man again and again who he was looking for. Only when he gave her the name and address clearly and it was indeed Jin Yue did she believe it.
The bronze statue had been hidden, but he still felt uneasy. After all, it was a very important cultural relic in the future. Jin Yue asked tentatively, "Is his Mandarin a little strange?"
"Yeah, it was a bit weird. It seemed like he couldn't quite understand what I said. He kept gesturing with me using his hands and feet for a long time."
Jin Yue's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face.
Zhao Wanqiu brought her a bowl of freshly cooked brown sugar eggs and said, "Eat it while it's hot."
It was Zhao Wanqiu's negligence as a mother. Jin Yue had grown up so much, but she didn't even remember to cook a bowl of brown sugar eggs for her daughter every time she had her period. She didn't have the conditions before, and she didn't think about it even though she had the conditions in recent years. It was only when Xu Duan told her before he left that she remembered it.
She felt very guilty and had no interest in doing anything these past two days.
Shu Jinyue didn't know about this and was a little surprised, "Why did mom think of cooking this for me?"
Because it was my first time cooking it, I wasn’t very successful. The egg yolks were all broken up and pieces were floating in the brown sugar water, which didn’t look very appetizing.
But Jin Yue still drank it, because good things cannot be wasted.
"My mother was negligent in the past. Girls should pay more attention to it, otherwise it will affect their fertility in the future."
Jin Yue almost spit out a mouthful of egg, "Didn't I tell you that I won't consider having children for the time being?"
"I'm not urging you, I just said that." Anyway, whether or not to have a child, and when to have one, is the couple's business. But it was Zhao Wanqiu's fault that she had neglected her health in the past and did not help her take good care of herself.
After eating the brown sugar eggs and returning to his room, Jin Yue felt more worried and checked the front and back windows and door locks twice. It seemed that Sister Wang was really unreliable.
When she spent the money, she told them to keep it a secret. She didn't want anyone to know that she bought the ancient book (bronze man). She patted her chest and made the promise on the spot. She almost swore an oath. But not long after that, the H countryman came to her house!
Not only did the money-grubber Sister Wang reveal the fact that she bought the bronze man, she also sold her address. So all her personal information, including her workplace, school major, marital status...all came into the ears of the people from country H.
She was in the light and he was in the dark. If he really wanted to do something, he would be completely defenseless.
Jin Yue thought about it and decided that he had to move the things to a safe place. If he hid them at home, who knows? He never knew that the H countryman might come looking for them someday. After all, they are very good at stealing.
After thinking about it, she thought of a place -
The two houses in Jinyu Hutong both have cellars. Currently, the cellars are not open to tenants, as they store some old belongings of the original owners. There are more people living there than in Courtyard No. 16, and there are more people and eyes. The H countryman must first think that the house is hers, and then think about where she hides the things in it, and finally, he must enter the cellar to "hunt for treasure" in full view of everyone... It is like adding two extra safety locks.
So, the next day at noon, Jin Yue asked his mother to help him hide things. She often went there to collect rent, and occasionally showing up there would not attract anyone's attention.
***
The next afternoon after school, Jin Yue and Lin Zhen took students No. 7 and No. 8 to Canteen No. 6.
She was a frequent customer here, and the manager was very familiar with her. As soon as she arrived, he greeted her with a smile: "Comrade Shu is here, please come in, the private room is upstairs."
He brought the people upstairs and quickly asked the chef to cook and the waiter to serve the food.
Jin Yue had booked a private room yesterday and ordered the dishes from their restaurant in advance. Everyone saw that she looked very familiar with it. One classmate asked, "Jin Yue, you always ate here, right?"
"Are you coming with your partner?"
"Where's your boyfriend? Why isn't he here? We should have a good drink with him today."
Jin Yue smiled and said that he was on a business trip. Students are very naive and would not ask about the unit or position. Jin Yue was relieved. She was really afraid that if she explained more, she would expose all of Xu Duan's secrets.
"Come, let's toast to Comrade Shu Jinyue and wish her a happy wedding."
Jin Yue drank it with a smile. The wine he ordered today was loose fruit wine, which was made by soaking fruits unique to Shilan Province. The alcohol content was not very high, so it was okay to drink two glasses.
Although Lin Zhen is young, she can drink a lot. After drinking a pound of liquor, they were not satisfied and asked the waiter to get another half pound. She drank happily with several other male classmates.
"Hey, did you hear that our head teacher's marriage didn't work out?"
"What?"
Jin Yue was also stunned. She then remembered that someone said last year that Gao Haiping was going to get married before the New Year. She didn't hear anyone mention it again afterwards, so she thought she was already married. She just didn't tell anyone because she didn't want to expose her privacy to her students.
"Who told you that?"
"There is another teacher in our school who works in the same office as Teacher Gao."
Jin Yue actually likes Gao Haiping very much. He feels that she is like their older sister who takes good care of them. Whenever there are any policies or documents that benefit students, she is always the first to go to each dormitory one by one to make sure that everyone is informed, even Jin Yue, a day student.
"Teacher Gao is such a nice person. Last year, when she saw me eating sorghum bread alone in the cafeteria, she quietly asked me if I didn't have enough living expenses and lent me five yuan. My mother was sick during those days and our family really had no money. I was really, really touched..."
"Yes, yes, yes. Last semester, I had a stomachache and didn't go to class. She came to my dormitory and took me to the school hospital. It turned out that I had appendicitis... If she hadn't discovered it in time, I would have fainted from the pain... wuwu..."
When they talked about the touching parts, both male and female students had red eyes.
In addition to being a good class teacher, Gao Haiping is also an excellent ideological and political teacher. She is responsible for teaching political courses to freshmen. Although she no longer teaches sophomores, her concern for everyone has not diminished in the slightest.
The eyes of the masses are sharp. She truly cares about every student in the class, so naturally everyone loves her.
"However, I heard another story, but it's not guaranteed to be true." There was a male classmate, the same male classmate who was the first to know that Gao Haiping was going to get married last time. He was more informed.
"Just tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."
"I heard that her fiancé broke off the engagement."
"What? Breaking off an engagement? What the hell?" The boy was from Northeast China and had a short temper. He slammed the table and said, "We are already engaged, how can we break off an engagement? If he breaks off an engagement, what should we do with Teacher Gao?"
"I don't know either. What I heard was that her fiancé seemed to have met a friend of Teacher Gao, and then started dating her. What is this called? What Jin Yue said is called cheating, right?"
Shu Jinyue's face was filled with black lines.
"If that's true, Teacher Gao's fiancé is such a scumbag. Humph, cheating scumbags will not have a good ending!" said a slightly drunk female classmate, clenching her fists.
"Teacher Gao is such a good person, how could he be so unlucky?"
Jin Yue said, "However, let's think on the bright side. He is a playboy by nature. If he doesn't cheat now, but only shows it after marriage, then won't our teacher Gao suffer more? What if they have a child? It will be a huge loss. Whether to divorce or not is no longer a matter between the two of them. There is also an innocent child. Don't you agree?"
"That's right. In that sense, not getting married is actually a blessing in disguise."
Everyone's mood improved and they started talking about interesting things at school.
The meal was not finished until the restaurant was about to close. Except for Jin Yue who went home, everyone else went back to school. They were asked to look after each other and go back together. Then Jin Yue rode his bike back to Liuye Hutong.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the neighborhood office, Uncle Li called her, "Hey Jinyue, come quickly, so I don't have to call you. Your wife just called to look for you."
Shu Jinyue parked his bicycle and went upstairs to answer the phone.
"Why are you calling back at this time? Is there something urgent?"
A man's gentle laughter came from the phone, "No hurry, we are fine, are you home?"
"That's good too." Jin Yue remembered what happened to the H countryman and told him quickly, quite proudly, "No one would have thought that I would hide in the cellar of Goldfish Alley, right?"
She is such an ordinary little genius!
Xu Duan frowned. "If he is determined to find your information, he can find all the properties under your name and even go door to door. I suggest you hide in our compound. The rat hole back then..." He sealed it, but there was only a thin layer of cement board on it, so it was easy to pry it open.
No. 16 Liuye Hutong is the Shu family's base camp. With so many people living in the compound, everyone knows the character of each person. Basically, no one has a habit of stealing. At most, Aunt Qian has touched their eggs, but no one has ever entered the house to steal.
"The tenants in Goldfish Alley are too complicated. We know almost nothing about them except their names." He paused, "We have to guard against H countrymen coming in person, and we also have to guard against him bribing tenants to steal."
When I think about it now, it seems to be true.
"I'll introduce you to a master craftsman who is very good at making... fakes."
Jin Yue was stunned. "You mean, you want me to make a fake bronze man to confuse the other party, and then hide the real one?"
"Yes, the master is very reliable. He used to make counterfeits for people in Beijing. Later, for some reasons, he had to move far away. You have seen his son."
Jin Yue thought about it and realized that she had met many people related to Xu Duan, at least twenty or thirty of them.
"It's Wu Zurong, the carpenter."
At that time, Master Wu could not stay in Beijing, and he did not dare to go back to his hometown, so he could only hide in the remote Shilan Province. His wife died early, and his son had just started middle school. He had a difficult time in Shucheng City for a while. It was not until later that Wu Zurong joined the army that his life as a bachelor became a little better. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After Wu Zurong was injured, he almost returned to his old business in order to raise money for his son's medical treatment.
Xu Duan's assistance to Wu Zurong just solved their family's urgent needs. Old man Wu once said that he owed Xu Duan a big favor, and if there was anything he needed to do in the future, he would definitely do it.
In the eyes of many people, his counterfeiting skills are so superb that others can make their fakes look real, but his fakes are more similar to the real ones. With this kind of technology, as long as you make anything, you will never have to worry about your life in the future.
Fearing that Shu Jinyue would not take it seriously, Xu Duan explained: "Although I have never met this H countryman, he has come all the way to our country, and he knows your identity through Sister Wang. I guess he will not give up. It is better to keep a hand to be prepared."
"good."
The next day at noon, Jin Yue asked his mother to move the bronze man back. In the evening, Master Wu came. He was very old and was helped into the house by Wu Zurong's wife.
But it was just the joints of his lower limbs that were not very flexible. Jin Yue could see at a glance that his eyes were still very bright and sharp, and his hands were very dexterous. He held the bronze man and looked at it for about two hours before saying he wanted to go back.
Jin Yue, who was reading a book nearby and paying attention to him, was dumbfounded. "Then should I deliver the bronze man to you?"
Originally, she planned to be present throughout the process when he was copying, after all, she was not sure whether Master Wu would replace it for her.
It's not that she has a dark mind and doesn't trust Xu Duan, but this thing is really too precious. There is only one unique copy in the history of Long Kingdom. Once it leaves her eyes, it will no longer be hers.
The old man shook his head, "I remember it."
"Ah?" Jin Yue swallowed her saliva. What she wanted was a one-to-one, exactly the same, completely indistinguishable from the real thing, not "highly similar".
Moreover, just remembering the dimensions of each part of the bronze man was only the most basic framework. The names, positions, directions of the more than one hundred acupoints, as well as the order of the twelve meridians, took her a long time as a student of traditional Chinese medicine. How could he, a layman, remember all of these in just two hours?
The old man stroked his beard with a smile, "This is what we took the exam for when we started our apprenticeship. I'll have someone send it back in half a month. If there's anything different, just tell Captain Xu."
Seeing how confident he was, Shu Jinyue didn't know what to say. He could only sigh that there were so many masters among the people!
"By the way, if you want to store the genuine product well, I suggest you don't put it in a place with too much humidity. It's better to keep it in a dry place, otherwise it will easily be oxidized and corroded, and form a verdigris." The gold plating on some parts of this bronze figure has fallen off, and the exposed areas are like "wounds" that are difficult to heal.
Moisture does not corrode objects overnight, but invades slowly, bit by bit, just like moisture invades the human body. It is not like evil spirits such as wind, fire and cold, which can be noticed all at once, and the symptoms do not break out quickly.
"Okay, thank you, Master Wu."
The father-in-law and daughter-in-law came quickly and left without even a sip of water. Jin Yue was left staring at the bronze man in a daze. Suddenly, she remembered something -
Sato Miko's pulse is weak and moist. In addition to being an indicator of weakness, a moist pulse also indicates dampness. If Buzhong Yiqi Decoction is ineffective, could it be that she is not weak at all, but suffering from dampness?
The concept that dampness causes constipation is not mentioned in textbooks.
In the past few days, she has read through the textbooks of Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine and reviewed all the diseases of the spleen and stomach system. When it comes to the causes and classification of constipation, it is nothing more than heat, cold, yin deficiency, qi stagnation, blood deficiency, and qi deficiency. No book has ever mentioned that dampness can also cause constipation. Because, the textbooks say that dampness does not cause constipation, but diarrhea, that is, diarrhoea!
Therefore, both she and Kobayashi diagnosed Sato Miko's moist pulse as a deficiency syndrome, completely ignoring the possibility that it could be a dampness syndrome.
