I want to live, get married

"How do you call them?"

"My surname is Gao, my name is Gao Cheng, and my father's name is Gao Liangpin. My father and son are from Dejing Town, twenty miles outside Nanyang City. I heard that Miss, you have excellent medical skills, so I came here specially to seek medical treatment today."

"Oh! It turns out that Mr. Gao and Uncle Gao are from Dejing Town...there is a well-known porcelain town. The porcelain made is favored by the royal family. It has always been a good tribute. It is really a good place for outstanding people."

Liu Yanhan began to chat with the two of them in a cordial tone, and the embarrassment when they first met was swept away.

"I see old man Gao's eyes are full of sadness, and his complexion is not good. I think he is very unwell! And don't worry, we treat diseases when you are sick. What is wrong with you all the time?"

"Hey..." As soon as he said this, the old man Gao sighed, adding to his sorrow, and even his old eyes full of weather were filled with tears.

Seeing that the old father was depressed, his son had no choice but to speak on his behalf: "Doctor Liu, my father had a little pain in the tip of his thumb half a month ago. He just thought it was a wood thorn from chopping firewood and carrying water, so he used an embroidery needle to provoke it at home, but Didn't find anything."

"So I didn't take it seriously, and just treated myself for two days. Who would have thought that the point on the tip of the thumb would become more and more painful and unbearable."

"Later, the whole thumb was actually swollen. It was difficult to even carry the chopsticks and hold the bowl. My father couldn't sleep or eat well, let alone work. He said that his fingers were connected to his heart. This thumb was bouncing in pain every day. Only then did the family members realize that the problem was serious, and hurriedly took him around to seek medical treatment, but they couldn't be cured, and what they saw was getting worse. They heard from the neighbors that there was a miracle doctor in Nanyang City, with excellent medical skills, so they brought him I came here to seek medical treatment for my old father, and hope that Dr. Liu can relieve my old father's suffering, and I will be very grateful."

After explaining his old father's condition in one breath, Gao Cheng bowed his hands and bowed to Liu Yanhan, as if placing all his hopes on this young female doctor.

"Uncle Gao, let me see your affected area."

"Hey..." There was another long sigh, Gao Liangpin wiped away his old tears, and then stretched out his hand from his long sleeve.

Just now because he had been hiding his hands in his sleeves, he didn't notice any abnormalities. At this moment, he saw that most of his palms were wrapped with a thick layer of white cloth. Liu Yanhan quickly untied the layer of cloth with his hands and feet, and unexpectedly A hand swollen like a steamed bun was exposed.

The thumb, in particular, was already swollen, the flesh of the whole finger was red, the fingertips were black and purple, and the knuckles were so stretched that they shone brightly without any lines. They were much fatter than the other four fingers. It looks extremely uncoordinated, even a little creepy.

He Qingqing, who stood watching from the sidelines, had never seen a person's hands look like this before, gasped in surprise, and thought to himself: "My God! Why are they so swollen!"

A well-informed person like Steward Li also finds this situation unbelievable, and he only sighs for this emaciated old man. It is really unfortunate that he has to endure such a strange disease at such an advanced age.

Seeing that terrifying hand of old man Gao, Liu Yanhan frowned, the situation seemed not very optimistic.

She stretched out her hand to press the swollen back of her hand, and actually poked a dimple like a steamed bun. The sunken skin and flesh rebounded very slowly, presumably the whole hand was already swollen.

"Ouch... hiss..."

Old Man Gao had been enduring the severe pain from his fingers, but now he couldn't bear it when Liu Yanhan touched him. He gritted his teeth and moaned, even a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Doctor Liu, lighten up..."

Seeing his father suffering from pain, Gao Cheng couldn't bear to look directly at him, and quickly explained to Liu Yanhan: "The flesh on my father's hands is excruciatingly painful, and even the friction between the clothes and materials is like piercing the heart. Wrap it in a white cloth, Doctor Liu, you must save my father, what kind of disease is he suffering from!"

"Hey!" Liu Yanhan said with a rare sigh, "This disease is commonly known as snake letter."

"Snake... Snake Xinzi?" The name of this disease, He Qingqing, was unheard of, let alone her, and no one, man, woman, or child present had ever heard of it.

"Snake Xinzi? Why does it have such a weird name? Does it have anything to do with snakes?" She asked puzzled.

"Look at..."

As he spoke, Liu Yanhan gently turned Uncle Gao's hand to the back of his hand, ordered him to stretch out his five fingers, pointed to the nail cover on his thumb, and said: "This thumb that got sick first has a grain of rice under the nail cover. Black dots about the same size and shaped like snake letters, hence the name."

"This snake letter is a kind of boil, because the lesion is born under the armor, it is difficult to touch with ordinary needle stone medicine, even if the nail cover is pulled out with pain, this snake letter sore is very tricky and weird, and it will spread to other fingers , is really as cunning and difficult to deal with as a poisonous snake, so it is very difficult to treat, and it belongs to the case of difficult and miscellaneous diseases."

Hearing what Liu Yanhan said, Old Man Gao's face turned pale in an instant, and the sadness on his face deepened a bit, and he only sighed deeply: "Hey..." It seemed that he didn't even have the courage to ask the doctor a few more words. up.

It was Gao Cheng who asked the old father: "Intractable diseases? Doctor Liu, who is so skilled in medicine, said that it was difficult to cure. Is there no cure for my father's disease?" He was about to cry.

Thinking about what he said made the patient feel a burden, Liu Yanhan hurriedly explained: "No...no...the so-called intractable diseases are because the etiology of the disease is unclear and disorderly, the appearance is strange and rare, the course of the disease is tortuous, and it is difficult to eradicate. The doctor classified it into one category, and it is not completely incurable, Mr. Gao, don't be too sad."

"You mean my father's illness can be cured?"

"It can be cured. If this Snake Xinzi was first born with my medical skills, he could barely try it, but now the swelling is too severe. It must not be a day or two. Take a closer look at the rest of the fingernails. build……"

Speaking of Liu Yanhan pointed to the rest of the fingers, everyone followed what she said, and as expected, a few small black spots were faintly found under the other four fingernails, but they haven't spread yet. .

"These finger caps were also strung together, why did you delay like this?"

"Hey... Doctor Liu, you don't know something!" Gao Cheng felt sorry for his old father, and said in distress: "When my father felt that something was wrong, I took him to the doctor's office to see a doctor."

"They all said that my father's disease is difficult to cure. Even if the sores under the fingernails are managed to be pulled out, it's like cutting leeks. It goes down and comes up again, and it will never be clean."

"And it will become more and more serious. When it is serious, the flesh will start to rot. First, it will be a finger, then the whole hand, and then develop to the whole arm, and finally...

In the end, it will be life-threatening. The only solution is to cut off the whole finger and remove the lesions before it reaches that step. Only then can it be saved, otherwise it will be a dead end. "

After hearing Gao Cheng's narration, He Qingqing sighed: "Oh my God... the sores of Shexinzi are too vicious, but a small sore under the nail cover can kill people." Looking at the old man in front of her The frail old man couldn't help but worry even more about his situation.

"From this point of view, although this Snake Xinzi is just a boil, it is indeed as ferocious as a poisonous snake and beast. It can also kill people, and it is appropriate to get this name."

Butler Li also agreed with He Qingqing's statement. He asked Gao Cheng: "Since this disease is so dangerous, why not cut off your fingers earlier to save your life, so as to delay the present situation and let the old man suffer all these sufferings for nothing."

"As you all know, my father is the oldest porcelain craftsman in Dejing Town. He has practiced his porcelain making skills all his life and eats with his skillful hands. The porcelain he makes is the face of Dejing Town and the glory of the Gao family. My biggest wish is that the Gao family's porcelain making skills will be succeeded by someone..."

Speaking of this, Gao Cheng wiped away bitter tears. Uncle Gao looked at his son, heaved a long sigh, and couldn't help crying.

"My father doesn't want his skillful hands to be lost like this. He always thinks of conservative treatment, and won't take the dead end of severed fingers unless it is absolutely necessary..."

Gao Cheng caressed the old father's shoulder as he spoke, his eyes turned red.

"Also, the old man is not reconciled to the fact that his lifelong porcelain making skills have not been passed on to others, and he wants to wait a little longer. Tribute porcelain is not to be trifled with, and Lao Gao's family's signboard cannot be smashed. It's a pity...

It's a pity that I'm dull, I haven't been able to learn the essence of my father, and I can't provoke the burden of Gao's porcelain making, I'm ashamed! "

"However, we really didn't expect the disease to develop so rapidly, and it became what we see in a short time, and there is no cure for it."

As they spoke, the father and son couldn't help crying.

"Father! The child is useless. I failed to take good care of your old man and caused you to suffer such a great crime. Huh, huh, huh..."

A good boy, he couldn't help crying in front of his old father's illness.

"Son, don't cry, this is your father's fate, no wonder you... It's really impossible, if you give up this hand, you will give up..."

Instead, Old Man Gao comforted his son with a wry smile.

The father and son love deeply, but the illness is ruthless. It really makes those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.

Liu Yanhan couldn't bear to witness this sad scene, and quickly said: "Old man Gao, Mr. Gao, don't be too sad. Although the little girl's medical skills are not very good, and she is not proficient in difficult and miscellaneous diseases such as boils, there are so many capable people in this world." There are many, but some people specialize in this way.”

"I remember my teacher once said that there is a land called Xinggang Town [-] miles east of Nanyang City. There is a Ma Langzhong there, who is known as the "Master of Boils" in Xinglin. You can go to the doctor for a face-to-face consultation, and I guarantee that Old Man Gao will be cured.”

"Xinggang Town... Let me think about it..." Hearing what Liu Yanhan said, Steward Li felt that the place name was very familiar.

He slapped his forehead and said: "Oh! Come to think of it, this Xinggang Town is not far from your Dejing Town, and it's only about three or five miles away. Neighbors on the border, hurry back and inquire, maybe you all know this horse man."

"This this……"

After Steward Li spoke, Gao Cheng and Uncle Gao stared at each other for a moment, looking embarrassed and worried again.

"Hey..." Gao Cheng sighed and said, "Everyone, to tell you the truth, Ma Langzhong and my father knew each other before."

As soon as these words came out, others were confused.

Liu Yanhan asked puzzledly: "Since guarding such a master of boils, why did you delay in such a state? It shouldn't be!"

"That's right! Could it be that this Ma Langzhong is old and his medical skills have deteriorated, so he can't cure this snake sore?" He Qingqing was also puzzled and guessed wildly.

Butler Li: "Hey, Miss's words are wrong. The older the doctor, the better the skill. There is no way to say that he will regress."

Uncle Gao shook his head helplessly in denial, and slowly explained: "In the early years, this old man had some verbal disputes with this man, if others ask for it, he can help to treat it, but he will never treat this old man. "

After all, there was another burst of sadness.

Liu Yanhan: "Old man Gao, you are wrong to think so. No matter what you say, this Ma Langzhong is a senior who is highly respected in the Xinglin world. , no matter how much hatred there is, there is no reason not to save the patient on purpose."

"Doctor Liu, you don't know. Before the first visit, we sincerely begged this Ma Langzhong, but he refused to even meet my father and son, let alone a face-to-face consultation."

"This……"

Liu Yanhan didn't know what to say for a while because of Gao Cheng's words. She always felt that a highly respected senior in the medical field should not behave like this to patients anyway, but the situation in front of her was really confusing.
