The medicinal herbs that Jiang Feipeng had prepared for Tian Cai before were all related to heart disease, and most of them were not useful to Qu Ting. Tian Cai asked someone to prepare them again and took them to the dormitory to mix and boil the medicine. It took more than an hour to finish all the work, and he also went to the cafeteria to get a bowl of porridge.
She used her own teacup to carry a full pot of medicine to the ward. Before she even entered the room, she heard Qu Ting vomiting in the ward.
Tian Cai hurriedly pushed the door open and put the things on the table. He then began to massage Qu Ting's Zusanli and Neiguan acupoints. These acupoints can move the stomach qi downward and relieve symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
After a while, Qu Ting's condition improved a lot. "Moxibustion or acupuncture will work, but it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later. At least I want you to be able to eat again."
Qu Ting nodded with a pale face. After Tian Cai massaged her for a while, she felt much better than before. At least the urge to vomit was gone. "Much better!"
Tian Cai continued massaging her for a while until her complexion returned to normal.
The two talked for a while. Tian Cai thought she might have a good appetite, so he brought the porridge over and put a spoonful in front of Qu Ting. "Try to see if you can eat it?"
Qu Ting leaned in and smelled it. Although it was still a little disgusting, it was within the tolerable range. Knowing her situation, she had to eat it. She opened her mouth and took a bite, turning it around in her mouth several times before swallowing it.
Seeing that she still had difficulty eating, Tian Cai simply took out a silver needle and pricked her a few times. This time the waiting time was shorter, about three to five minutes later, she took out the silver needle and said, "Try eating it now."
Qu Ting moved around, feeling nothing unusual. She opened her mouth and took another mouthful of porridge. This time, she didn't feel any nausea. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, "I'm not nauseous anymore! Cai Cai, you're amazing!"
Tian Cai smiled. The acupuncture she had just received was very effective. It blocked her sense of smell and also gave her an anti-emetic injection to stimulate her appetite. The effect was evident.
"Don't worry about anything else. Just drink the porridge quickly. You can take the medicine later."
"Hmmmm."
Qu Ting agreed readily, took the lunch box and started eating it bite by bite.
It’s such a long-lost feeling. She hasn’t tasted rice porridge for a long time!
Tian Cai looked at her gently, reached out to push back Qu Ting's fallen hair, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Qu Ting's morning sickness is partly due to physiological reasons. After a natural birth, it takes at least two years for the uterus to recover, and if it is a caesarean section, it will take three years.
She became pregnant again just after her eldest child turned one year old. Her uterus was still in the recovery period and had not received sufficient rest. Moreover, food was scarce in that era and there were few nutritional supplements available. In addition, she had to take care of a one-year-old child, which was very hard. Qu Ting did not sleep well, and lack of rest also affected her appetite.
Another part of the reason is psychological. Qu Ting followed Chen Jinhui to settle here. She was emotionally sensitive during pregnancy and needed more care. She felt insecure without anyone familiar around her.
She guessed that although Chen's mother's arrival gave Qu Ting some rest time, it also brought invisible pressure.
And she is someone Qu Ting is familiar with. Seeing her can make Qu Ting mentally relax a lot and also increase her appetite.
Soon, Qu Ting drank up all the porridge in the aluminum lunch box. She touched her stomach which had finally swelled up and sighed with satisfaction.
"I haven't felt full for a long time—"
Tian Cai chuckled, "You're talking as if Chen Jinhui won't let you eat enough. Don't worry, I'm here and I'll definitely make sure you can eat enough."
"Cai Cai, it's great to have you here!"
The old lady next to him saw it and looked at Tian Cai with even more eagerness.
This girl is really talented. She is not like those young people nowadays who have no idea about the benefits of acupuncture. With just a few needles, this girl was able to make the young wife who was vomiting eat porridge. It can be seen that she is really skilled.
"Miss, are you a doctor in this hospital?" Old Mrs. Feng finally couldn't help but took the initiative to talk to Tian Cai.
"I'm not from here. I just came to visit a patient."
Tian Cai saw her lying on the bed and guessed that her waist was not in good condition and it was difficult for her to turn over. She had met many people like her in the village before. Most of them were because they twisted their bodies when they worked too hard. She had to go to the hospital to see a doctor, give them acupuncture or massage, and then apply some plasters to cure the disease.
Old Mrs. Feng thought that the patient that Tian Cai was talking about was Qu Ting, so she didn't ask any more questions and continued to inquire about Tian Cai's family background with a gossipy look on her face.
"Who else is home?"
Man, that—
"There's no one home."
"It's all—"
Old Mrs. Feng froze just as she was about to say something. She wanted to ask what they were doing, but the conversation was completely over.
But she had all the answers she wanted to ask about Old Mrs. Feng. Just as she was about to say something else, she saw Tian Cai pick up the teacup on the table.
"Take the medicine."
When Qu Ting heard this, her face immediately wrinkled into a bun, "How about you just block my sense of taste?"
Tian Cai ignored her and said, "Hurry up and drink it in one gulp."
After a long time of mental preparation, Qu Ting finally picked up the wine and drank it all in one breath. Just as she was about to lament how bitter it was, Tian Cai stuffed something into her mouth. She smacked her lips and said, "So sour——"
Seeing that she had no intention of vomiting, Tian Cai took the aluminum lunch box and teacup to the sink to wash them.
When she felt the medicine was almost taking effect, Chen Jinhui came back. Qu Ting proudly showed off to him that she had just eaten a lunch box of porridge.
Chen Jinhui had a feeling that it was as expected.
Doctor Tian is indeed a versatile doctor, and all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases are not a problem for him.
He had consulted a doctor before, but all the methods the doctor had prescribed had no effect. Chen Jinhui had no choice but to let her vomit.
Tian Cai took out the needle bag and asked Chen Jinhui to watch at the door and wait outside if any male family members came.
After everyone left, Qu Ting took off her clothes on her own initiative, leaving only a corner of the quilt covering her chest.
"Although this isn't my first time getting an acupuncture injection, I still don't dare to watch!"
"Then just close your eyes."
Silver needles with a cold glow were inserted into Qu Ting's body one by one, scaring the women in the two beds next to her so much that they dared not breathe.
Oh my god!
Who would dare to stab someone directly in the belly like this?
Then the child must be aborted?
And the needle stuck in the arm was so long that it was only halfway in.
Oh my, that’s so scary!
Tian Cai finished the acupuncture very quickly. Qu Ting did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she felt that her cold body was warming up.
The two little ones also moved comfortably in their mother's belly.
If 60% of the efficacy of ordinary medicine can be absorbed directly when taken, then 80% to 90% can be absorbed after Tian Cai acupuncture.
The medicinal effect of the dew-added medicine can be absorbed by about 90% if taken directly, and after acupuncture by Tian Cai, it can definitely be absorbed by more than 100%.
