Chapter 157 Traditional Chinese Medicine



"Oh, then you should hurry up and go. Do you have enough money on you?"

Fang Jingru was a typical action-oriented person. Before Fang Ke could speak, she went back to her desk, took out a few ten-yuan bills from her bag, counted out five, and stuffed them into Fang Ke's hand. "Take this to buy food. Don't be stingy with money."

"Auntie, I knew you were the best!" Fang Ke put the money in her pocket very naturally, obviously she had been helped by Fang Jingru a lot on a regular basis, and her movements were particularly smooth.

Perhaps because she had been bribed, she kept praising Fang Jingru to Qiao Qiqi after she came out, saying, "My aunt is very capable. Aren't you going to write an article? You can submit it to my aunt first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask her directly."

"Okay!" Qiao Qiqi also liked Fang Jingru very much and felt an inexplicable closeness between the two.

Fang Ke first took Qiao Qiqi and Xin Xin to Tiananmen Square, a must-see place in Beijing.

The three of them walked around for a while, and seeing a photographer taking pictures, they paid for one before moving on to their second stop.

Department store.

After shopping, we went out for dinner and watched a movie, and didn't get home until it got dark.

After shopping all afternoon, Xin Xin was exhausted, so Qiao Qiqi immediately took her to take a bath and put her to bed.

The next morning.

Fang's mother woke up early. When Qiao Qiqi got up, she had already started cooking the porridge. Qiao Qiqi went in to help.

After breakfast, Fang's parents went to work, while Fang Ke took Qiao Qiqi and Xin Xin to the hospital.

The three of them went to the pediatrics department first, but the pediatrician didn't have any good suggestions.

The psychologist said it was a psychological issue and required psychotherapy. He suggested starting with four sessions, one per week, for a month. This period was a bit long, so Qiao Qiqi didn't agree immediately.

The three of them then went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.

After examining Xin Xin, the old Chinese medicine doctor said, "Someone who was frightened lost his voice and could not speak. He used seven parts of litharge, mixed with tea, and the person recovered immediately. It has been tried many times and is very effective."

Fang Ke, looking completely bewildered, uttered a single word: "Huh?"

Qiao Qiqi was also a little confused and humbly asked, "Could you explain it in simpler terms? I don't understand."

The old Chinese medicine doctor glanced at him before saying, "This child is mute because she was frightened. I'll prescribe a medicine for you. Just brew it for her to drink every day like tea. It will cure her in half a month at most."

Qiao Qiqi's eyes lit up.

"So amazing?" Fang Ke was even more surprised.

The old Chinese medicine doctor ignored her, wrote out a prescription, and tossed it to Qiao Qiqi to get the medicine. He added confidently, "Go pay for the medicine. If you're not better in half a month, come and beat me up."

Seeing how confident the old Chinese medicine doctor was, Qiao Qiqi immediately picked up the prescription and said, "Thank you."

After the three of them went outside, Fang Ke said, "This old Chinese medicine doctor is very famous here. He can cure all kinds of illnesses. Why don't we give him a try?"

Qiao Qiqi thought that drinking tea could cure diseases, which seemed too simple.

But she believes that what her ancestors left behind is not wrong.

Another thing is the confident demeanor of the old Chinese medicine doctor; someone without real skills certainly wouldn't dare make such a guarantee.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded. "Okay, I'll go get the medicine. Let's try it for half a month to see if it works!"

"Hmm," Fang Ke agreed.

When Qiao Qiqi returned with the prescription, Fang Ke said, "Why don't we also pay for and try the psychotherapy? Try it twice every two weeks. What if it achieves the effect of faster recovery through the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine?"

Qiao Qiqi asked with some concern, "Will there be any side effects?"

Fang Ke thought for a moment, "Wait here, I'll go back and ask, and while I'm at it, whether we still want to drink it if it's ready ahead of schedule."

After saying that, she went back.

Soon, shouts and curses could be heard coming from the office.

Then, Fang Ke suddenly rushed out of the office, grabbed Qiao Qiqi's hand and ran, shouting, "Run!"

?

Before Qiao Qiqi could react, she immediately picked up Xin Xin and ran outside quickly after her.

Fang Ke carried her all the way out of the hospital before turning back to check if anyone was chasing after them, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Qiqi was out of breath from running, and when she saw that they had finally stopped, she quickly put Xin Xin on the ground.

After catching his breath, he asked, "Why are we running?"

When this was mentioned, Fang Ke looked embarrassed. "I had just asked if I could receive psychological treatment using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine when the old man suddenly got angry. He said that if I didn't believe him, I shouldn't buy the medicine. I said I didn't disbelieve him and I had already bought the medicine. Who would have thought that he would say I wasn't worthy of taking his medicine and told me to return it to him, so I ran away."

Qiao Qiqi: "..."

I could tell earlier that this old Chinese medicine doctor had a bad temper, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

However, they were the ones who suspected the other party first, so they can't blame the other party for being angry.

Thinking of this, Qiao Qiqi decided that since the old Chinese medicine doctor was so confident, she might as well put the psychological treatment aside for now.

As they left the hospital, Fang Ke was still comforting Qiao Qiqi, "Xin Xin's illness will definitely get better, it's just a matter of time, don't worry."

Qiao Qiqi wasn't actually in a hurry.

She believes that Xin Xin will get better, but she still hopes that Xin Xin can get better soon. If it takes too long and the child can't speak, she is afraid that it will affect Xin Xin's personality.

In just a few days, she could clearly feel that Xin Xin had become much quieter. She was afraid that if this went on for too long, even if the child could speak, she wouldn't want to talk anymore, which would be terrible.

However, Qiao Qiqi also knew that this matter could not be rushed.

We've already visited the best hospitals and seen the best doctors. If that still doesn't work, then we'll have to think of other solutions.
