After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 98: People who live alone are pitiful. Try acupressure now

Ding Xirui went forward and knocked on the door, but just like before, no one answered.

"Is anyone home?"

Still no one responded.

"Young Madam, please step back and I'll break the door open." Nan Xing said.

"Okay, be careful." Ding Xirui stepped back.

Nanxing tilted his shoulders and exerted force, and the door opened.

The yards of the families here are very small, and this family is no exception. But Mrs. Yuan's family grows rows of vegetables and keeps them very clean, while this family's is very messy.

"Is anyone there?" the three of them shouted as they walked inside.

There seemed to be a sound coming from the room, very faint.

Lin Mingxuan pushed open the door and saw a man lying on the ground, groaning.

"Uncle, how are you?" Several people rushed forward to check.

Lin Mingxuan opened his eyes and looked for his pulse. After a moment, he said:

"Help him to the bed."

The sick man was no different from a drunk person, his whole body was very heavy, and the two young men, Nanxing and Lin Mingxuan, had to use a lot of strength to lift him up.

"How is he?" Ding Xirui asked.

"The uncle has a fever, but the condition is not serious. He must have fainted after having a high fever. He has been lying on the ground for a long time, has not eaten anything, and is rather weak." Lin Mingxuan replied.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen and make some porridge." Nanxing raised his legs and prepared to go out.

"Don't worry, it's almost dark now, and it may be too late to cook. There are people in another alley, and the situation may be more serious. Should we go and confirm it first?" Ding Xirui held him back.

"Yes." Lin Mingxuan nodded, and then said: "Well, let's go knock on the neighbor's door and borrow some food for the uncle, and then go and check on the other two people."

"it is good."

Several people went to the alley to ask for help, but found that the houses on both sides were empty. After knocking on several houses, they finally borrowed a bowl of porridge. Nanxing stayed to feed the uncle, while Ding Xirui and Lin Mingxuan rushed to another alley.

"anyone there?"

"Who is it?"

"Doctor Lin from Jishitang."

"Wait a moment."

Finally someone answered the door and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, how is your health?" Lin Mingxuan asked hurriedly when he saw him.

"It's barely okay, but the fever keeps coming back. I don't know what's going on." After saying this, the uncle began to cough violently.

Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui subconsciously took a step back.

"Uncle, have you taken your medicine?"

"Go to the medicine shed in the morning to get it. I'm drinking it now."

"Only in the morning? What about the evening medicine?"

"My legs hurt so much. The place is too far. I was exhausted after just one trip in the morning. I couldn't run any more in the afternoon."

No wonder the fever recurs. The dosage of the medicine is wrong. I’m afraid that just when I was getting better, I was attacked by a new round of virus again.

"Let me help you heal."

The two followed their uncle into the house, and Lin Mingxuan asked:

"Which leg hurts?"

The uncle lifted up his trouser legs from the bottom to the top, and Ding Xirui saw that there was some swelling around his knee joints.

"Uncle, how long have you been in pain?"

"This is an old problem of mine. The pain started when I was in my forties and it has lasted for nearly ten years now. I used to be able to get better with a little rest, but that has stopped in recent years."

"We came to provide free medical treatment last month. Did you receive any treatment?"

"A doctor came last month and gave me acupuncture. It worked for a while, but then it started to work again."

"Okay." Lin Mingxuan began to press his knees gently and could feel some abnormal bulges.

"It hurts, you'd better stop pressing it." The uncle had a distorted expression.

"Was it the same last month?"

"Last month was better."

"Your knee arthritis has worsened. I'll give you acupuncture first."

Ding Xirui brought the oil lamp in the room over. Under the dim light, Lin Mingxuan took out a silver needle, found the Yangling, Xiyan, Xuehai, Zusanli and other acupoints, and began acupuncture.

After a while, he pulled out the needles one by one and said:

"You should be careful not to do heavy work. In the morning and afternoon, when the sun is not too strong, you can bask in the sun in the yard."

"Yes."

"Your cold can no longer be cured. I'll leave these medicines for you first. We will bring some medicine for treating arthritis tomorrow." Ding Xirui handed over the medicine.

"Thank you, doctor." The old man's eyes turned red.

The two washed their hands at the old man's house and said goodbye to him. Nanxing came over with a lantern and said that the uncle over there had woken up and was in much better spirits.

Lin Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, we are here today."

It was almost dark, and the few of them walked cautiously to the other end of the alley.

"Is anyone there?" Nanxing started knocking on the door.

No one answered, but the coughing sound in the yard was obvious, and Nanxing broke open the door.

There was no light in the yard. Lin Mingxuan took away the lampshade and leaned forward. Ding Xirui grabbed his sleeve and followed closely. Another coughing sound came. Several people looked at each other and walked forward.

The family squatted at the door, panting, and asked:

"who are you?"

It was the voice of an old lady.

"Auntie, we are doctors from Jishiditang. We are here to check on your health."

"I'm coughing so hard... I can't take it anymore. There's blood."

Lin Mingxuan took the lantern over and saw bloody sputum on the ground next to it. It seemed that this lady had the same symptoms as Mrs. Ding, but her condition was more serious than Mrs. Ding's.

"Auntie, please come into the house quickly, be careful not to catch a cold again."

Several people helped her into the house first, and Nanxing shoveled soil from the yard and covered the bloody sputum.

After Lin Mingxuan felt her pulse, he asked, "Auntie, have you taken any medicine today?"

"Yes, I got the medicine from the medicine stand and took it morning and night."

"Okay, we came in a hurry this time, and we only brought medicine for treating colds. Now I will help you with acupressure. You need to take off your coat and lie down."

"Do you want to take off your coat?" The old lady suddenly became alert.

"Auntie, I'm a doctor. Don't worry, I only know how to press the acupoints to treat you." Lin Mingxuan explained quickly.

"Auntie, I'm here too, don't be afraid." Ding Xirui quickly held her hand.

"Are you a doctor? Can you help me?" The old lady looked at Ding Xirui.

"I'm not one yet, so I can't help you." Ding Xirui looked embarrassed.

"Can you teach her?" the old lady looked at Lin Mingxuan and asked.

Lin Mingxuan frowned, thought for a moment, and said:

"it is good."

"But I..."

"I'll show you where the acupuncture points are. You can try the pressure on me first, and then press on me."

"it is good."

"This is the Tiantu point. To relieve coughing, press it gently." Lin Mingxuan took Ding Xirui's hand and pulled it towards him. The Tiantu point is located in the center of the depression between the two clavicles. Ding Xirui pressed it gently according to Lin Mingxuan's request. After a few times, Lin Mingxuan said:

"Well, this strength is fine."

"This is the Tanzhong point. It can relieve breathing difficulties and coughing. You can use a little more force."

"Then there's the Yongquan point, on the sole of the foot, which replenishes qi and nourishes the kidneys."

"The last point is the Dazhui point, which clears heat from the lungs. It is located in the depression below the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra." Lin Mingxuan held Ding Xirui's fingers and led her to find the correct position.

Ding Xirui wrote them down one by one.

"Okay, let's start treating Auntie now."

"Yeah." Ding Xirui nodded.

After one round, a circle of sweat appeared on Ding Xirui's forehead, but the old lady's cough gradually subsided.

The two smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
