Chapter 562 Dana's pain is unbearable
I said, "I want to smoke a cigarette."
Chun said, "Go ahead and smoke. Mr. Chalun always smokes at home. This is not a hotel."
I lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said:
"In ancient times, there was an ancient ethnic group in northern my country called the Mongolians. They lived a nomadic life. Wherever there was abundant grass and water, they would set up their yurts and settle down.
During the day, young and middle-aged men go out to graze, while the elderly and women stay behind in the tents.
Some young men would sneak into girls' tents to talk about love. If they were discovered by the old men, they would drive the young men away and scold them: "You are messing around again."
Sneaking into a girl's tent is called a jerk."
Chun said, "Oh, it turns out that every word has a history."
He thought for a long time in a daze, and suddenly blurted out: "Teacher, does flattery have a history?"
I smiled and said, "Of course there is. This is a story related to the Mongolians. Mongolians are born to love riding horses. If someone's horse is fat and strong, the horse's butt will definitely be bulging.
When people around see this kind of horse, they usually pat the horse's butt and praise the horse's owner, saying that the horse is well-grown and the owner feeds it well.
The horse understands human nature and knows that patting its butt is a compliment after hearing it patted many times. So, it enjoys it when its butt is patted.
Over time, people discovered that patting a horse's butt would make it more docile, so riders would pat their horses' butts before getting on to calm them down.
In addition, in the past, when Mongolians met while leading their horses, each person would pat his horse's buttocks, which was both a greeting and a sign of respect for the other person.
Chunlai was addicted to it. He racked his brains and finally found another phrase. He asked, "Does that fool have any background?"
"Yes."
"real?"
"Of course it is. If it has no origin, why not call it something else? Why call it a fool? The word comes from the ancient Qinling Mountains, where there was a place called 'Guazhou'.
In Guazhou, there's a tribe called the "Guazi Tribe." These people are honest, trustworthy, and hardworking. If they're asked to do a job, they'll work tirelessly, never taking a break.
People from other tribes thought the "Guazi" people were really stupid, so they called them "Guazi." Later, they just called them "Fools." So, in some places today, people who are not smart are still called "Guawazi." Of course, it can also be used as a term of endearment.
Chun said, "Yes, swearing sometimes means that the relationship is very good."
I said, "Language is not isolated. It is related to the person it is spoken to. If a stranger calls you a fool, it is an insult. If your girlfriend calls you a fool, it is a term of endearment."
The two were talking when the doorbell rang. Chunlai opened the door and Shasha came in, giving each of us a yellow T-shirt.
I asked, “What is this…”
Sasha smiled and said, "Mrs. Chalun is holding a food party this weekend. Everyone attending the party will wear this kind of clothes."
Chunlai looked at me, then at Shasha: "Uniform?"
"Not only did they wear the same attire, but my wife also invited Sister Li, a famous Thai food show host, to join us."
Chunlai was a little surprised, but tried hard to restrain himself. After all, I taught him a lesson on how to remain calm in the face of adversity.
After Sasha left, Chunlai searched for the food show host Sister Li on his mobile phone. Sure enough, he found her, but he was a little disappointed. He walked over to show me his phone while holding it up.
"That's what he looks like. Thick lips, wide nose, over forty."
I took a quick look and saw that she looked like a homely lady, so I smiled and said,
"There are two types of hosts: one is the dignified or beautiful type. The other is the expert type. Their image isn't important; what matters is that they're famous in their field.
Secondly, we grew up in a country where face is very important. It is different in foreign countries. For hotel waiters and flight attendants, it doesn’t matter whether they are pretty or not.
Since Sister Li is a famous food show host, she must have some cooking skills. Tomorrow, we should take the initiative to take a photo with her. It will be a face-saving opportunity for the host family and for Sister Li as well.
After a while, Sasha called the room and said it was time for dinner.
Sasha is better than Yiting. She accompanied us for Chinese food.
After dinner, she took us for a walk. Along the way, she kept introducing us to Thai customs and habits, but in fact, these were not important and could be searched on the Internet.
But because of her enthusiasm, I kept nodding and sometimes asked questions.
After walking around for a bit, I didn't want to walk anymore. I felt like the scenery in the suburbs was pretty much the same everywhere on Earth, so I said, "Let's go back. We should give Dana moxibustion early."
Sasha and Mrs. Charon went in first to make preparations.
After a while, Sasha opened the door, and I went into Dana's room and used this "moxibustion lamp" to treat her for the first time.
I said, "Miss Dana, I'm going to be using a new treatment tonight. It has a certain temperature. If you find it difficult to bear, please speak up."
She said, “I understand.”
"Because of this lamp, I will give you acupuncture in the morning and Miss Shasha will give you moxibustion at the same time."
"good."
I placed the moxibustion lamp on her first acupoint, Yinlingquan, and then taught Sasha how to apply pressure to Dana's abdomen.
After learning for three minutes, Sasha became proficient.
Dana's legs trembled a little, and I walked over to take a closer look and found a slight sweat around her pubic area. This is a good sign.
"Miss Dana, if you can bear it, please try to bear it. I checked and it didn't hurt your skin."
Dana clenched her fists and bit her lower lip hard with her teeth.
I moved the light a little further away.
Mrs. Chalun couldn't stand the smell of moxibustion, so she walked out.
I turned on two exhaust fans, and the smell faded. I saw Dana's face twitching in pain. I knew she couldn't stand the smell either.
Actually, I hate this smell too, but I am a doctor.
"Dana, I have no other choice. Moxibustion is a method that can remove the dampness in your body. Since Western medicine can't cure your illness, you must endure this unique treatment method of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
She said, "Doctor Wan, can you hold my hand?"
I held her hand tightly, giving her strength.
"You have to learn to be strong. I believe you will get better step by step. If you can't endure it, all your efforts will be wasted."
I asked Shasha, "All my efforts have been wasted. Can I translate it accurately for her?"
Sasha nodded and talked to Dana for a while. Then she said to me, "I told her that if she can't hold it in, all the previous treatments will be in vain."
I nodded.
Sasha asked, "Is there any other way to reduce her pain?"
I shook my head. "Originally, I could have hypnotized her, but the purpose of moxibustion is to allow the nervous system to sense and thus promote the expulsion of dampness."
Shasha asked, "How long does moxibustion last?"
"It depends on the situation. It could be as short as one month or as long as three months. If she's making good progress, we can stop early."
After forty minutes, the first moxibustion session was over.
Sasha covered Dana with a white towel blanket and opened all the windows.
When I opened the door, I found Mrs. Chalun standing outside. Under the light, tears were in her eyes.
I feel bad too.
I said to Shasha, "Tell Mrs. Chalun that I will try to shorten the moxibustion time."
After Sasha translated it, I couldn't believe that Mrs. Chalun shook her head vigorously, her face turned pale, and she kept saying a bunch of words.
Sasha translated for me: "She meant that just because Dana was in pain, we shouldn't reduce the difficulty of the treatment. No, absolutely not. She would work on Dana."
I walked out of the room.
In the gentle breeze and bright moon, I took a few breaths of fresh air and looked at the mansion in the night. I thought to myself that living a healthy life is the happiest thing in life.
When I was almost at room 001, I suddenly realized that I had left my cell phone on the bathroom counter. I turned back and knocked on the door, and Mrs. Chalun opened it.
I smelled a strong scent of mugwort and froze for a moment, staring at Mrs. Chalun. Just then, Sasha came out of the bathroom. "What's going on?" I asked.
Shasha came out with my cell phone, walked to the door, and said, "I was just about to call your cell phone. It was ringing in the bathroom.
The thing is, Mrs. Charon insisted that I light a piece of mugwort, but I disagreed and she lit one herself and placed it in the room, saying she wanted Dana to get used to the smell.
In order for my daughter to adjust, she had to sit in her room and adjust on her own.”
I went in immediately and said, "Don't do this. Dana will get used to it slowly. If you do this, she will hate the smell even more."
After saying that, I took the moxa stick standing on the ground to the bathroom and extinguished it.
