Chapter 92: Win the First Round
"Me! I'll do it!" said a man in his forties, raising his hand high.
Qian Donglai nodded and said, "Okay, come to the front, and then we will take your pulse in turn, and then prescribe medicine. Whoever cures your illness first will win."
Lin Qian had no objection.
A middle-aged man walked over, and Lin Qian couldn't help but stare at him closely.
There are four methods in traditional Chinese medicine for diagnosing illnesses, namely observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. Sometimes, if you want to know where a person is ill, you can tell a thing or two just by looking at the face.
But after just one look, Lin Qian had almost made up her mind.
The man sat next to Qian Donglai first. After all, compared with Lin Qian, one was a middle-aged man and the other was a child of twelve or thirteen years old, Qian Donglai seemed more reliable.
Because of the screen, Lin Qian couldn't see what was happening over there with Qian Donglai, so she could only wait patiently.
It was a full cup of tea before Lin Qian heard the movement next door. The man sat down at her table.
She took his pulse and found that it was just as Lin Qian had thought. This man had stomach problems, and a very serious gastric ulcer.
"Is the pain still severe now? Are you vomiting blood?" Lin Qian asked after taking the pulse.
The man said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, and I haven't vomited blood."
At this time, Qian Donglai came over and said, "Okay, now we can talk about his symptoms and treatment plan."
"Stomach disease, very serious stomach disease." Lin Qian said.
Qian Donglai chuckled and nodded, "Yes, it's a stomach disease. My current method is to prescribe Lianghe Pain Relief Drink and combine it with a dietary therapy prescription. Within a month, this disease can be cured."
Gastric ulcers were difficult to cure completely in ancient times, but there is a dietary therapy recipe in Meng Xian's "Dietary Therapy Materia Medica", which, when combined with Qian Donglai's Lianghe Analgesic Drink, can indeed cure the disease in one month.
Hearing the prescription he wrote, Lin Qian couldn't help but nod in admiration. Qian Donglai, regardless of his character, was quite good in terms of his medical skills.
"What do you think? Do you have a method that is shorter and more effective than this?" Qian Donglai asked Lin Qian with a smile on his face.
Lin Qian nodded and held up a finger: "I have a way to make him feel better with just one dose of medicine, and he will be cured in ten days."
Qian Donglai laughed when he heard this. "You should know when to brag. I've lived for so long, but I haven't found a way to cure this stomach ailment in ten days."
Lin Qian smiled without saying anything. She picked up her pen and wrote a prescription. After writing it, she handed it to Qian Donglai and said, "Since you don't believe it, then I will make you believe it. Bring the medicine here and let him drink a bowl, then you will know."
Seeing Lin Qian's expression, Qian Donglai suddenly became a little flustered, but he really didn't believe that there was such a method in the world. He gritted his teeth and asked Xu Jingcheng and the medicine boy to go in and get the medicine.
"Young doctor, can you really cure my stomach disease in ten days? I have had this stomach disease for more than ten years. It has been painful all the time in recent years, and I can't stand it anymore." The man said, covering his stomach with his hands.
Lin Qian said, "Wait until the medicine is ready, and you'll know after drinking it."
Xu Jingcheng quickly brought out the medicine, along with a small stove and medicine jars. Lin Shuo immediately went to help, and the two of them got busy.
Qian Donglai folded his arms and watched coldly, his face full of impatience.
The medicine is almost ready, Lin Qian said to the man with gastric ulcer, "Take off your clothes."
The man was stunned, then did as he was told.
Lin Qian took out the silver needle and inserted it into the man's stomach meridian. She also inserted a set of six Xuanyuan acupuncture needles around the man's abdomen.
In fact, acupuncture has little effect on men's gastric ulcers. It mainly depends on the medicine added with space water.
"Here it is, the medicine is ready." Lin Shuo said as he brought the medicine over. His eyes met Lin Qian's, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.
After the medicine cooled down a little, Lin Qian asked the man to drink it.
After swallowing a bowl of medicine, the man felt his stomach warm, and the dull pain that had always been there disappeared.
"How does it feel?" Lin Qian asked with a smile.
"My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, and I feel warm," said the man.
"Impossible, there is no medicine in the world that works so quickly. What tricks did you use?" Qian Donglai said.
Lin Qian pointed at the silver needles still on the man's body and said, "It's not a trick. It's just a silver needle. You don't know how to do it. You haven't seen it before. You can't blame me, right?"
Qian Donglai looked at the silver needles on the man's body and was immediately speechless, but he was unwilling to lose like this.
After thinking for a while, he finally said, "If that's the case, then you win this round. But let's make a deal first, you can't use the needle technique next time."
Xuanyuan acupuncture has always been a legendary secret technique, passed down by various doctors as if it were miraculous. Qian Donglai had only heard of it and had never seen anyone use it.
But even so, it was enough to make him wary.
"Why? When we were about to compete, you didn't say that my master was not allowed to use needles. Why are you suddenly changing your mind now? Are you trying to cheat?" Xu Jingcheng said loudly, unhappy.
Lin Shuo agreed: "That's right, you're such a grown man, and you're competing with my sister. Not only do you not give in a little, but you also don't allow her to use a needle. You really can't afford to lose."
The two of them were so loud that people who came to watch the fun could hear them.
They had always disliked Chengde Medical Clinic, and now they finally found an outlet to vent their feelings, so of course they began to agree with Lin Shuo and Xu Jingcheng.
Although Qian Donglai was used to being domineering and powerful, he also knew that two fists could not beat four hands. Facing so many people, he did not dare to be too arrogant.
Otherwise, one punch from one person would be enough to send him to hell.
"Since you've asked, fine. I won't use the Xuanyuan acupuncture method in the next competition." Lin Qian agreed.
Hearing Lin Qian's words, Qian Donglai quickly said, "You agreed to it, you can't go back on your word."
"No regrets."
"Okay, come one more person, we can treat any disease." Qian Donglai shouted immediately.
Xu Jingcheng and Lin Shuo glanced at Lin Qian, and Lin Qian shook her head at them, indicating that there was no problem.
At this time, an old lady with a cane came out. Judging from the grayness of her hair, she was probably in her seventies or eighties.
The old lady first walked over to Lin Qian and sat down, then stretched out her hand for Lin Qian to take her pulse.
The old lady is in very good health. Apart from some malnutrition and lack of qi and blood, there is nothing wrong with her.
But since she stood up, she must be sick. Lin Qian took her pulse carefully again, and this time even used her internal force, closing her eyes and carefully feeling the old lady's pulse.
Lin Qian, concentrating so intently on taking the old woman's pulse, indeed discovered something. Then, she withdrew her hand, asked the old woman to go to the next room, and frowned in thought.
After a while, Qian Donglai also withdrew his hand and took the lead to say: "This old woman is not seriously ill, she just has some deficiency of Qi and blood."
The old lady shook her head, then looked at Lin Qian, as if she wanted to hear what he had to say.
"Shopkeeper Qian, you are wrong. The old lady is sick, and it is very serious." Lin Qian said.
