Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

There are only a few general TCM treatments for stiff neck, including cupping, acupuncture, massage, hot compress and scraping.

Zheng Tongxi's condition, which resulted in a cold neck after craving for coolness and the entry of cold air into the body, actually does not require any special treatment.

After Lu Chen's massage, the muscles near his neck were revitalized and the cold air was forced out of his body. Overall, most of the treatment was completed.

The pig-slaughtering howling lasted for a full fifteen minutes. Zheng Tongxi finally lay on the wooden bed, completely out of temper. He gasped for breath, with hot sweat on his forehead.

Wang Defa, Duan Sijiu and Hu Yinglong could no longer stay there and ran outside to laugh heartily.

Zhang Jingyang and his fellow apprentice were still sitting in the room, but the expressions on their faces were very subtle, and they were both a little amused and helpless.

They knew how strong Lu Chen's hands were, but they didn't expect that this boy's strength would be so great today that he pressed the person so hard that he screamed, and even scared away the late-returning birds in several trees in the yard.

Li Xiangnan waited until this moment, pushed the cart with the cupping jar over, and asked with a smile: "Teacher Zheng, is it enjoyable?"

"..." Zheng Tongxi raised his head and looked at him, then nodded silently.

"Teacher Zheng, feel yourself, is there any discomfort around your neck? How about I massage you again?" Lu Chen was wiping his sweat with a towel. Seeing that he had come back to his senses, he squatted in front of him and said with concern.

"Okay, it's very fine. Look, hey, my neck is completely healed!" Zheng Tongxi had to endure the burning sensation around his neck and shoulders and shook his head left and right to show that he was no longer ill.

He was really afraid of Lu Chen's big hands that were like iron tongs.

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, don't worry. Just a few more cuppings will be enough! The main problem is that the cold in your body is too severe. After today, don't put a towel around your neck for no reason! What kind of weather is this? Still like this!"

Li Xiangnan smiled when he heard that, pressed his shoulder, lit the alcohol lamp and started cupping him.

"I get it! I will never do this again!" Zheng Tongxi nodded frantically, and as soon as the cupping jar fell on his body, the corners of his mouth began to twitch wildly again.

"Teacher Zheng, you must be patient!" Li Xiangnan hurriedly reminded him when he saw his look.

"I'll endure it, I'll endure it! Xiao Li, do your thing and don't bother me!" Zheng Tongxi actually gave him ideological education.

Li Xiangnan and Lu Chen looked at each other and smiled quietly.

By the time the cupping was finished, Zheng Tongxi could no longer utter a complete word of sorrow. He lay on the wooden bed, like a puppet that had lost its control, without a soul.

Seeing that Li Xiangnan had not stopped his busy work and seemed to be preparing golden needles, he just glanced at him and was too lazy to even ask, looking like he was ready to be slaughtered.

But as a doctor, Li Xiangnan still speaks his mind and gives necessary reminders.

"Teacher Zheng, your idiopathic facial nerve paralysis is actually still in the early stages. Your facial paralysis symptoms are not serious. I will give you acupuncture and take some Chinese medicine and it will basically be cured! You can feel it when you speak. The symptoms of your crooked mouth and air leakage when speaking are actually only half of the symptoms!"

"But later on, you must remember to keep warm, especially in autumn and winter. Be sure to pay attention to wind protection, apply hot compresses to your face and neck before going to bed, and talk more to exercise your facial muscles!"

"As for traditional Chinese medicine, I will also prescribe a prescription for Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, Chuanxiong, and Rhizoma Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, which can dispel wind, relieve cold, and strengthen the exterior. You can go to the pharmacy and get a course of medicine according to the dosage!"

"In this way, you can basically recover in a month!"

Hearing this, Zheng Tongxi's eyes suddenly brightened and he struggled to sit up and bow, but he was too weak at the moment and could only open his mouth to say thank you.

"It's okay, Teacher Zheng, just lie down and don't say anything extra! I'm going to give you acupuncture!" Li Xiangnan held him down and signaled him not to move.

"Okay, okay!" Zheng Tongxi uttered two words hoarsely and lay down obediently, but the guilt and gratitude in his eyes had already overshadowed all emotions.

Acupuncture is not difficult. Just find the main meridians on the face, neck and right half of his body and insert the needles step by step.

After a few minutes, all the needles were inserted, and the needle tips were gently moved to stimulate Zheng Tongxi's acupoints. At this time, carefulness and endurance were required, and every acupoint had to be taken care of.

Seeing Li Xiangnan's meticulous look, Zheng Tongxi wanted to open his mouth to thank him several times, but he held back.

He saw that Lu Chen on the side was not doing nothing, but was boiling water. After the water boiled, he made a cup of tea and put it aside. He knew that it was for him.

Seeing that these two people never mentioned the incident of dropping out of school at the beginning of the semester, but instead concentrated on treating their illness, Zheng Tongxi felt inexplicably distressed.

He glanced at Lu Chen's clothes carefully. He was still wearing the yellowed shirt he wore at the beginning of the school year, and a pair of army green pants that had turned light and yellow from being washed. The maroon belt around his waist had been sewn in several places with thread, and no one knew how long it had been used.

In order to go to college, Lu Chen traveled four thousand miles to Beijing.

In order to finish college, he worked harder than others to earn his living expenses. His dedication can be seen from the strength of his hands.

He almost had such a person expelled from Yenching University.

An extremely shameful feeling suddenly filled his heart like a maggot in his bones.

What these kids said is right. How can a stubborn person like me deserve to be called a role model?

When the silkworm is dead, the silk will be exhausted, and the torch will turn into gray and tears will begin to dry.

As a teacher, I cannot do anything directly for my students. I am simply not worthy of being a teacher.

Even this massage parlor was set up by Li Xiangnan in order to provide students with a place to work and study.

I am not even as good as my students!

Thinking of this, Zheng Tongxi's nose felt sore and his eyes suddenly turned red. When he looked at Li Xiangnan and Lu Chen again, his eyes were full of guilt.

"Teacher Zheng, it's done!" When Li Xiangnan was taking out the needle, he turned his head and saw that the other person's eyes were red. He was stunned.

"Xiao Li...Doctor, thank you!" Zheng Tongxi nodded and said softly, his tone no longer sharp.

"Teacher Zheng, have some tea! Take a rest!" Lu Chen brought the tea over.

Zheng Tongxi stood up and took it. The temperature of the tea was just right and not hot at all, but he felt very ashamed when he took it. He couldn't utter the word "I'm sorry" that was stuck in his throat several times.

Li Xiangnan noticed his condition, smiled, came to the table and sat down to write a prescription, "Teacher Zheng, take this and get the medicine according to this. Remember, take it after dinner. A course of treatment is four weeks!"

"Okay! I'll remember it!" Zheng Tongxi solemnly put away the prescription and picked up the teacup again, but his eyes were not idle. He was trying hard to look at the details in the massage parlor.

After a while, he finished his tea, and as if he had written something down, he stood up and said goodbye. He took out all the money from his trouser pocket, without counting how much, and just put it under the teacup. He said goodbye hastily and left in a hurry.

"This Teacher Zheng is a bit strange?" Zhang Jingyang had been sitting next to him reading a picture book. When he saw him leave, he spoke up.

Li Xiangnan smiled and asked, "Lu Chen, look at what Teacher Zheng put under the teacup?"

Lu Chen nodded and quickly walked over to move the teacup away. His expression changed slightly. He picked it up and counted it, then said in surprise, "Brother Nan, it's six dollars and fifty cents!"

Li Xiangnan stood up quickly and said, "Go after him quickly. This is probably the remaining half month's living expenses for Teacher Zheng, right?"

"Okay!" Lu Chen tightly grasped the money and ran out of the door. When he arrived at the door, Zheng Tongxi just unlocked the car and stepped over. "Teacher Zheng, the massage is free today..."

Zheng Tongxi turned around and saw that it was him. He said with relief: "Lu Chen, the massage is free, but today you are treating me! This is the consultation fee!"

As if he was afraid that Lu Chen would catch up with him, he rode several meters away, then stopped and shouted behind him: "You and Li Xiangnan are both great! The teacher was indeed a bit of a beast in the past, and I apologize to you, don't take it to heart!"

After saying that, he smiled, as if all the shackles on his body had been removed. He easily stepped into the car, waved his hand, and left.

"..."

Lu Chen walked down the stairs and saw Zheng Tongxi turning out of the alley. He looked down at the handful of bills, then looked up at the sky and grinned.
