Chapter 193 Mental Illness
"Mu Daye doesn't sound like a bad person?" Lu Qingqing wondered.
"No. That silly wife isn't afraid of Mu Daye either; she just occasionally asks when the child will come back."
Mu Daye said he would come back once he recovered.
After a while, the silly wife forgot about it.
Lu Qingqing made a wild guess: "Based on the time Mu Daye returned from outside, this child shouldn't be his."
So, that's why he wanted to abandon it at birth?
Looking at it this way, it's quite ruthless. Even if they didn't throw it away before, they did later, and even threw it into a mass grave, not even bothering to dig a pit.
Could it be that Mu Daye drugged the mentally challenged woman to abort the child, but failed, resulting in the child being born with a malignant tumor?
If Lu Qingqing couldn't figure it out, she would go and ask.
"Make arrangements for him to come see me for a medical consultation."
“Yes, Miss Lu.” Fu Leng replied respectfully.
Lu Qingqing raised an eyebrow: "You're much more reliable now than before."
Fu Leng showed no joy at being praised, his posture remaining ramrod straight.
“I’m sorry, Miss Lu. When I first came to your side, I was a little too proud and arrogant. I’ve already realized my mistake and will never again abuse my power or act on my own.”
"That's right, it's more endearing if your eyes aren't on the top of your head."
"Yes, Miss Lu, please feel free to give me any instructions!"
"I wouldn't dare. You're someone from the magistrate's son, while I'm just a nobody..."
Before Lu Qingqing could finish speaking, she saw Fu Leng's leg move, which startled her so much that she reflexively jumped to the side.
Immediately, both of them widened their eyes.
"Miss Lu, what are you doing!" Fu Leng stammered.
"Hey, my leg just cramped up. What are you doing now?"
Lu Qingqing was really upset.
She thought Fu Leng was about to kneel again, so she jumped instinctively.
"No, I also had a leg cramp."
Lu Qingqing looked at his legs and understood.
This is a lingering effect of the time she paralyzed him. Although he's recovered, he'll need some time to fully recover before he's back to normal.
"Roll up your pants legs, I'll give you a few injections."
"No, no, no, Miss Lu, I'll be going now!"
Fu Leng mounted his horse and rode away.
Watching him flee in disarray, Lu Qingqing sighed inwardly: "After the diagnosis, he just seems dull-witted but is psychologically fragile."
He was paralyzed for only a month, look at him, so pathetic!
the next day.
Mu Daye really did bring his simple-minded wife.
The silly wife wore a veiled hat, covering her face, and walked with a swaying gait. If it weren't for her childish movements of constantly tugging at the veil, she would truly appear ethereal and otherworldly.
With sunglasses on, he looks cool and stylish.
With a veil on, an ethereal aura naturally arises.
She's comparable to Xu Rui.
Wearing a coarse cloth shirt doesn't make you a farmer.
Mu Daye was very nervous about his silly wife, his eyes were fixed on her, and his hand was loosely holding one of her arms.
I would stop her when I saw her pulling her hat, but I wouldn't scold her verbally.
Once inside the house, he stopped stopping her, letting his simple-minded wife take off her hat, revealing her clean, fair face.
"Dr. Lu, I heard people on the street say that you are a miracle doctor who can bring the dead back to life, cure broken legs and feet, disembowelment, loss of spirit, headaches, heart disease, laziness, and even infantile crying..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't listen to hearsay, let's go see a doctor directly," Lu Qingqing interrupted Mu Daye's description.
This Fu Leng, you might as well call her a goddess!
Mu Daye: "They say you're a savior descended from heaven."
"..."
“However,” Mu Daye changed the subject, looking at Sixi who was identifying medicinal herbs.
"My wife is afraid of crowds, could you ask this young man to step aside for a moment?"
"cannot."
"Add money?"
"cannot."
Mu Daye stared at Lu Qingqing for a while, not giving a single word.
Well, hopefully her medical skills are as good as they're made out to be.
"Liu'er, sit here." He helped the woman sit on the soft stool.
Lu Qingqing observed Mu Daye's expression after he entered the room and realized that he genuinely cared for women.
With a long scar on his forehead, a rugged face, thick arms and large hands, he was clearly a rough man.
When facing women, he is very cautious and doesn't even dare to touch them.
There was also a hint of emotion in her eyes.
She seems like a caring person.
Lu Qingqing approached the woman.
Mu Daye quickly reminded her, "Dr. Lu, please speak softly. She's very timid. She was so scared when we brought in a male doctor before that she threw things at him."
Lu Qingqing nodded and took out two lollipops.
Sugar is a translucent yellow, a warm, non-sharp yellow.
It contains dried osmanthus petals, which are beautiful and fragrant with osmanthus aroma. It is sweet but not cloying, and can also warm the spleen and stomach, moisten the lungs and relieve cough.
She gave Sixi one first.
Si Xi peeled off the kraft paper, slurped it into his mouth, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.
It looks delicious.
The woman opened her eyes and watched, and the little gesture in her hand stopped.
"Want some? I made it myself; you can't buy it anywhere else." Lu Qingqing handed her one.
The woman was immediately attracted by the pretty candy and reached out to pinch the small wooden stick.
His eyes were filled with pure joy.
Look, these kinds of patients are like little children, they don't have anything in their heads, they're easy to coax.
"Try it and see if it tastes good."
The woman's eyes sparkled, and she was about to taste it when she suddenly stopped: "Give it to the child."
Mu Daye's joyful eyes suddenly froze.
Lu Qingqing then took out a red lollipop.
"And that one is for you to eat."
When the woman was happy, she started eating candy.
Eating candy makes people happy.
"Your bracelet is very beautiful."
Lu Qingqing pretended to look at the silver bracelet on the woman's wrist, touched it slightly, and seeing that the woman did not resist, she pinched the woman's wrist.
The woman glanced at Mu Daye.
His eyes still held a hint of dependence.
Mu Daye smiled at her, then looked at Lu Qingqing with a serious expression.
Then Lu Qingqing revealed the woman's illness, which surprised Mu Daye even more.
"There is a blockage in her brain, but it's not serious and it's dissipating soon. Her current condition is not caused by this; it's more likely due to a huge shock that has led to a decline in her cognitive function."
"Then how should it be treated?" Mu Daye asked in a deep voice.
His voice carried a barely perceptible anxiety.
"Doctor, you're right. At first, she couldn't see either. Other doctors said there was blockage in her brain. We gave her medicine for two months, and her eyesight improved, but her brain..."
Mu Daye thought that such a young doctor, especially a female doctor, could not possibly have such great skills, and that she was being praised as a miracle worker, making her seem more like a charlatan!
Unexpectedly, she diagnosed the illness with just one pulse.
He couldn't help but take it seriously.
"Doctor, we will treat you no matter how much it costs, as long as it can be cured."
Lu Qingqing smiled and reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind the woman's ear, asking softly, "What did the other doctors say?"
Mu Daye looked at the woman who was sitting obediently eating candy.
She was so relaxed in front of strangers.
Normally, she doesn't like anyone being around her, let alone touching her.
This alone made Mu Daye develop a liking for Lu Qingqing.
"They say that mental illness is divided into three types: epilepsy, mania, and seizures."
It is said that Liu'er suffers from madness and should be treated with acupuncture and iron supplements.
But Liu'er wouldn't let them near, and even after drinking the calming soup, she would quickly wake up, making treatment impossible.
“No.” Lu Qingqing shook her head.
“There are not only these three types of mental disorders. There is another one called dementia, which is what I am talking about. The cognition of the person declines to that of a child.”
