Chapter 6

“Grandpa suddenly had vomiting and diarrhea several times. He was so exhausted that he didn’t even have the strength to speak. Just now, a…a sister came. She said she used to be a village doctor and was giving Grandpa an acupuncture.”

Xu Jiangshu’s frown deepened. Isn’t this just nonsense? How could this person of unknown origin give Grandpa acupuncture so casually?

Especially seeing Yu Huai’s image.

Xu Jiangshu stopped and asked in an unhappy voice, “Comrade, do you have a medical license? You know the old man’s condition, so you just give him an acupuncture.”

He squatted down, trying to separate the people.

Just as Yu Huai had finished inserting the last stitch, he easily withdrew his hand. When he looked up, he saw a handsome guy with a look of anger in his eyes.

The handsome guy wore a pair of frameless glasses. His high nose bridge supported the lenses, making him look particularly gentle. He had a thin figure and a straight back, revealing an innate elegance. His ear-length hair was neatly combed behind his ears, revealing a smooth and clean face.forehead.

Do all innocent men at this time look like such monsters?

Xu Jiangshu looked at Yu Huai’s face and realized that she was a very young girl. He didn’t have the heart to scold her harshly, so he just said, “Comrade, if you are not completely sure, don’t treat anyone casually.”

What’s more, Xu Jiangshu looked at the needles stuck in his grandfather’s feet and chest, and they were embroidery needles.

Jian Shou is too casual.

He raised his hand to pull it out, but the old man who was humming and crying out in pain suddenly let out a breath, as if all the foul air in his heart was expelled from his body with this breath.

“Little tree…”

“Grandpa.” Xu Jiangshu hurried forward.

The old man reached out and patted his shoulder. “Xiaoshu, I’m fine. This little girl gave me two injections. I feel much better now. I was nauseous and wanted to vomit just now, but now I don’t feel like vomiting anymore, and my stomach isn’t rumbling as much anymore.”

Xu Jiangshu felt relieved and couldn’t help but scold: “Grandpa, did you eat too much at noon again?”

Old Master Xu sighed softly, “It’s been such a long time since I last saw my old comrade. We had a great time chatting, and now we have more to eat.”

Xu Jiangshu stood up and smiled apologetically at Yu Huai: “Comrade, I’m so sorry for what happened just now. I was too anxious and my tone was not very good. I sincerely apologize to you.”

Yu Huai was always very tolerant of handsome guys. She chuckled and said, “It’s okay.”

Shen Jiarui blinked her big, sparkling eyes and praised, “Sister, you are so amazing.”

Yu Huai has heard this kind of words no less than a hundred times. Her mentor is so capable, so naturally the apprentice he taught is not much worse.

“No, no, I just know the basics.”

Xu Jiangshu looked at Yu Huai calmly and said with a smile, “Comrade, which village are you from? Are you in trouble now?”

Yu Huai licked his lips. “Huaishu Village is in the south. I was an orphan since childhood. I occasionally got news of a relative who was in Ninghai City. I went north alone, but everything I had was stolen. I had no choice but to walk there.”

As for whether Huaishu Village exists or not, Yu Huai doesn’t care.

Shen Jiarui showed a sympathetic look: “Sister, you are so pitiful, Brother Jiang Shu, let’s help you.”

Xu Jiangshu didn’t know whether to believe it or not, so he changed the subject and said, “Comrade, what do you think happened to my grandfather?”

Speaking of this, Yu Huai’s tone also became serious, “Grandpa ate too much greasy food at noon, and he already has gastritis.”

Of course, according to her, there is probably a problem with the gallbladder. After eating a lot of greasy food, patients with cholecystitis will not be able to excrete bile smoothly, which will cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

But as the elderly get older, they will definitely have problems with their liver, gallbladder, and stomach, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

“The stomach is dysfunctional, preventing food from being digested and moving downwards normally. Instead, qi is rushing upwards. This is often caused by food stagnation due to overeating or improper diet. I see that the old man has loose stools, which should be due to spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. His pulse is also tight and stringy, which should be due to liver qi invading the stomach.”

After hearing these words, Shen Jiarui was stunned.

Xu Jiangshu was also stunned for a moment. “Comrade, my grandfather had gastritis before, but from what you said it seems like there are problems elsewhere as well.”

Yu Huai was talking just now and couldn’t help but say what the teacher had asked him to do in the test, and he immediately forgot about the person standing in front of him.

She coughed lightly a few times and said, “As the elderly age, their organs move more slowly and their functions decline. It’s possible that their gallbladder is slightly inflamed. The condition is relatively mild. They can take some anti-inflammatory and choleretic tablets, such as Danning tablets…”

Yu Huai frowned and thought for a moment, not knowing if the medicine was unavailable at the moment. She changed the subject, “Take some Bupleurum, Centella asiatica, or Rhubarb. You can find these at a Chinese medicine store.”

Yu Huai then added, “Of course, you can also take the old man to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup. What I said may not be completely correct.”

Xu Jiangshu laughed twice, “Comrade, you are really low-key.”

The old man lying on the ground groaned twice, “Little girl, what time is it? I feel like I’m fine now. I’m not dizzy anymore, I’m not nauseous anymore, and my stomach isn’t that uncomfortable anymore. Do you want to remove the needle?”

Yu Huai squatted down to take a look, then reached out and pressed the old man’s stomach. “Grandpa, you can’t eat so much meat and fish in the future. Your body organs won’t allow it.”

Old Master Xu nodded and agreed repeatedly, and Yu Huai then removed all the needles from the old man’s body.

Xu Jiangshu reached out and helped the old man sit up. “Grandpa, let’s go back to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup. We have to recognize our age.”

The old man sighed softly, “Back then, I was the first person to lead a group to attack the Japanese fortress.”

Yu Huai put away the needle. Without the filiform needle, this needle was her only weapon now.

Yu Huai carried the oversized package on his shoulder and shook it twice. “Well, old man, is there anything else? I’ll be leaving first.”

Xu Jiangshu asked Shen Jiarui to come over and support the old man, and he stood up and stopped Yu Huai who was about to leave.

“Comrade, aren’t you going to Yunzhou City? We should go too. Why don’t we go together? Besides, you treated the elders at home, and I haven’t thanked you properly yet.”

Yu Huai looked at the car parked on the side of the road, then looked at Xu Jiangshu’s handsome face, and a smile slowly rose at the corner of his mouth. “Okay.”

Xu Jiangshu helped Mr. Xu sit in the passenger seat, while Shen Jiarui and Yu Huai sat in the back seat. Only after getting in the car did Yu Huai realize how dirty and smelly he was.

The entire car was filled with the smell of her sweat, just like leftovers forgotten in a corner in the middle of summer, fermenting and spoiling, giving off a sour and smelly odor. I didn’t feel anything after smelling it for a long time, but as soon as I got into Xu Jiangshu’s clean car filled with the fresh aroma of soapberries, the smell of her body became obvious all of a sudden.

She silently rolled open the car window next to her.
