Wilderness Romance!
Chapter 17 Earning Money from the First Medical Visit
Lu Pingchuan picked up the bag from the ground and put it back on the stove: "Sister Xiaoyu, what I said is true. I really can cure my parents' illness."
"Two days, at most two days, I will definitely restore Mother's sight. Father's condition is a little more serious, but it won't last more than half a month."
Nie Xiaoyu lowered her head to wash the potatoes, no longer paying attention to Lu Pingchuan.
"Sister Xiaoyu, everything I said is true. I swear to God."
Nie Xiaoyu still ignored her.
Lu Pingchuan sighed, feeling somewhat helpless for a moment.
Just then, a van stopped in front of the gate, and a man in his forties got out of the van.
"Is Doctor Lu here?"
Lu Pingchuan looked up and recognized the other person at a glance.
When he treated Lin Jianguo in Qingshui County, Lin Jianguo was present and even said he wanted to bring his mother to see him for treatment.
If that's the case, will Sister Xiaoyu believe that she can cure diseases?
Thinking of this, Lu Pingchuan strode towards the door.
Upon seeing Lu Pingchuan, the man immediately stepped forward, grasped Lu Pingchuan's hand tightly, and exclaimed excitedly, "Dr. Lu, I've finally found you!"
"What's this?" Lu Pingchuan looked at the bread truck with a slightly puzzled expression.
"I brought my mother to see a doctor, Dr. Lu. Please wait a moment, I'll get my mother out of the car right away."
The man returned to the car, first opening the trunk to take out a wheelchair, and then opening the side door. An elderly woman with gray hair, around seventy years old, appeared in Lu Pingchuan's sight.
The old woman was helped off the bus by the man. As soon as her foot touched the ground, her right leg jerked violently, and her body suddenly staggered. She instinctively gripped the man's arm, her brows furrowed tightly, her lips twitched involuntarily, and she gasped.
"Dr. Lu, my mother doesn't have any other problems, but her right leg has been hurting all the time. Please take a look at it."
"Come in." Lu Pingchuan led the two into the courtyard.
Nie Xiaoyu watched all this, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
That man just called him a miracle doctor. Could it be that Lu Pingchuan really can cure illnesses? Or have I misunderstood him?
"Sister Xiaoyu, is there anything else on the table? If not, I'll use it first."
Lu Pingchuan's voice pulled Nie Xiaoyu back to reality. She hurriedly waved her hand, "I don't need it, you can use it."
Lu Pingchuan immediately stepped forward and moved the table in front of the old lady: "Auntie, please put your hand out so I can take your pulse."
"Mother, Doctor Lu's medical skills are excellent, please let him take a look."
The old lady nodded slightly and then placed her hand on the table.
Next, Lu Pingchuan took the old lady's pulse and examined her right leg.
"How is it, Dr. Lu?" the man asked anxiously. "Can you cure my mother's leg?"
Lu Pingchuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Brother, Aunt is old, it's probably impossible to cure her completely."
Upon hearing this, the man showed a hint of disappointment.
The old lady sighed, "Son, I told you long ago that my leg couldn't be cured, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, we've come all this way for nothing."
"Auntie, please let me finish," Lu Pingchuan said with a light laugh. "Although I cannot completely cure your leg, my treatment can ensure that your leg will be pain-free for three years."
Upon hearing this, the old woman's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Young man, are you serious? You really can make my leg pain go away for three years?"
The old lady knew that at her age, she might not even live another three years. If she could get rid of leg pain for three years, it would be no different from being completely cured.
"Yes, Dr. Lu, is it really possible?" The man was equally excited.
Lu Pingchuan gave the two of them a reassuring look: "I won't say anything I'm not sure about. If I say it's possible, then it definitely is."
"That's great!" The man slapped his thigh. "Dr. Lu, what are we waiting for? Quickly treat my mother. I'm willing to spend any amount of money to relieve her leg pain."
Lu Pingchuan said no more, immediately took out his needle case and took out the green Tianquan needle.
Tianquan acupuncture is used to heal tendons and bones, specifically for treating injuries to tendons and bones, and damage to meridians, such as fractures, tendon tears, and limb paralysis caused by meridian blockages.
The old lady's legs were mainly due to years of hard labor in the fields, and constant exposure to water and wind.
When I was young, my legs and feet were exposed to cold, which caused chronic illness. The meridians were blocked by cold, resulting in poor circulation of qi and blood. Tianquan acupuncture is exactly the right treatment for this symptom.
Lu Pingchuan inserted a silver needle into the Zusanli acupoint, three inches below the knee. At the same time, a stream of heat flowed into the woman's body through the needle, nourishing her meridians and expelling the cold.
A few minutes later, the old woman's lips twitched, and she looked up at the man: "Son, my leg..."
"What's wrong, Mother?" the man asked with concern. "Is your leg hurting again?"
"No, no," the old lady waved her hand. "My legs feel very warm and comfortable."
"Phew." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief. "Mother, you scared me to death! Isn't it a good thing that your leg feels better? It means that Doctor Lu's treatment is working."
"Good, good, good." The old lady nodded, a long-lost smile appearing on her face. "It's good that it works. If I can move around freely, I won't be a burden to you and Xiaoli anymore."
"Mother, what's this about being a burden? You raised me when I was young, and I will take care of you in your old age. This is our responsibility and our blessing."
Twenty minutes later, Lu Pingchuan reached out and removed the silver needles from the old woman's body.
"Auntie, the treatment is over. Try standing up."
"What?" The old woman was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Young man, you mean I can stand up right now?"
"That's right."
The old woman was uncertain, so she turned to look at her son. The man's eyes were red, and he nodded vigorously at her: "Mother, you must believe in Doctor Lu."
Without further hesitation, the old lady braced herself on the armrests of the wheelchair and slowly moved down.
Her movements were so slow that every frame seemed to be paused. She first moved her bottom from the middle of the seat to the front edge, then put her legs down one by one, tentatively placing her feet on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the man wanted to step forward and help him up.
Lu Pingchuan reached out to stop him: "Brother, let Auntie do it herself."
The old lady took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and, supporting herself on the handrails, slowly stood up.
"Mom, how are you feeling? Does your leg still hurt?"
The old lady looked down at her legs, then looked up at Lu Pingchuan, her lips trembling several times, her eyes red-rimmed.
"It doesn't hurt, Mother doesn't feel any pain."
As she spoke, the old lady carefully took a few steps in the yard: "Walking doesn't hurt anymore, son, my legs are really healed."
"That's great, that's great!" The man was so excited that he immediately stepped forward and gave Lu Pingchuan a bear hug.
"Dr. Lu, thank you so much. I thought... I thought my mother would never be able to stand up again."
"How much is the consultation fee? I'll pay you now."
Lu Pingchuan had never treated anyone before and didn't know how much to charge. After a moment's thought, he held up three fingers: "Three thousand."
"What?"
"Three thousand?"
The man exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Pingchuan was stunned. Was it too much? But thinking about it, it made sense. It was just one acupuncture, and three thousand did seem a bit much.
