Chapter 116 Liu Family Big Brother
The Liu siblings let Meixiang and the other two into the room. Looking up, they saw two beds placed side by side in the room. There was a table and two benches placed against the wall next to the door. The corners of the bed, table and chairs had been carefully wrapped with bandages. After the Liu siblings and Meixiang stood in the room, there was not much room left for them to stand.
The light coming in through the window lattice was projected onto a man who looked a few years older than Dr. Liu, lying on the bed. He was tall and thin, with a sunken forehead. He had a white cloth covering his eyes. He turned his head and "looked" in the direction of the door when he heard footsteps.
"Is that you, my little sister? Are there any guests at home today? How could you bring a useless person like me here?" A hoarse voice sounded in the room.
Meixiang turned to look at Doctor Liu, who smiled apologetically at her, then walked towards the bed and said softly, "Brother, I asked a doctor to come and see you today. Come, I'll help you up."
"What are you looking at? It's already like this, even the Lord can't help. I think we shouldn't waste any more time on it." The eldest brother of the Liu family waved away the hand that Doctor Liu extended and turned his back to everyone.
"Brother, how can you say that? My second brother finally found a doctor who is good at surgery. Woo woo woo..." Seeing her brother like this, the younger sister of the Liu family couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry, "Brother, well, you can't just give up like this. Our parents passed away early, but you raised me and my second brother with great difficulty, and you also learned medical skills. The good days for our family are still to come."
"Yes, we have to try anyway. It's not your character to give up before trying. As long as people are alive, there is always a way. Miss Mei is really amazing. A few days ago, someone was stabbed in the chest with a knife, but Miss Mei saved him. I saw it with my own eyes, otherwise I would not have asked her to come." Doctor Liu persuaded with red eyes.
The eldest brother of the Liu family was still lying motionless on the bed. Meixiang looked at the crying and sad little sister of the Liu family and the red-eyed doctor Liu, then turned to look at the stubborn back on the bed. As a person who was a substitute husband in both modern times and Haoyue, Meixiang had seen many different kinds of patients, so she did not show too many strange expressions. She just spoke her mind in a calm tone.
"Big Brother Liu, I'm the doctor that Second Brother Liu invited today," he continued after a slow tone, "I heard that you're also a doctor, so you should know the principle of not seeking medical advice, and you also know that no matter how good your medical skills are, they will be useless if the patient doesn't actively cooperate. Having said that, I'll give you a quarter of an hour for Second Brother Liu's sake, so you can think it over carefully."
After saying that, Meixiang turned around and walked out of the house and into the yard. Xiaosan quickly brought her a chair.
After a while, the sound of footsteps behind her interrupted Meixiang's wandering thoughts. The eldest brother of the Liu family groped his way out. This was the first time he had walked out of the room since he was injured. The sunlight outside the room shone on his body, sweeping away the haze that shrouded him and making him feel warm instantly.
He stopped three feet away from Meixiang and said, "Miss Mei, thank you for your help." Although his voice was still a little hoarse, one could clearly feel the difference from the previous one.
Meixiang smiled. Doctor Liu, Meiying and others had already moved the table and chairs out of the room.
Under the nervous gaze of the Liu siblings, he reached out and felt the pulse of the eldest brother of the Liu family. Then he stood up and touched the back of his head. He began to examine it carefully bit by bit, and finally felt an obvious lump a little bit on the left side of the back of the head.
"This is where you hit yourself, right? Does it still hurt when you press it like this? Apart from this place, where else do you feel uncomfortable?" Meixiang asked softly.
After carefully feeling Meixiang's touch, the eldest brother of the Liu family replied, "It still hurts a little here where the young lady pressed. When I bumped into it, I felt a sharp pain. I fainted before I could react. When the pain came later, I couldn't see."
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "I still have some headaches these days, some bruises and abrasions on my body, and my elbow is a little dislocated, but luckily the bones are not injured. But as a doctor, I feel so sad that I suddenly lost my sight..."
Doctor Liu looked at Meixiang's expression and asked tentatively, "Miss Mei, are you saying that brother can't see because of the swelling behind his head?"
"If my guess is correct, there should be some blood stasis in the swelling, which compressed the eldest brother Liu's visual nerve and caused temporary blindness." Meixiang explained slowly.
"Temporary?" The three siblings of the Liu family shouted at the same time. They did not care about the new terms such as optic nerve and oppression. The three of them were attracted by the three words "temporary" from Meixiang.
"If other brain nerves are not damaged, there is still hope for recovery of sight." Meixiang said conservatively. If this happened in modern times, everything would be clear after just taking a film, but in Haoyue, everything had to be judged by the doctor's experience, speculation and trial.
The younger sister of the Liu family was so excited that she was about to cry out loud again. This was the happiest news she had heard since her eldest brother was injured. It’s not that they had never seen a doctor, but most of them just shook their heads and left after taking her pulse, without even prescribing any medicine.
The eldest brother of the Liu family is a doctor who does not treat himself. Doctor Liu only regulates his body and treats other external injuries. He is unable to help with his eyes.
Meixiang motioned to Xiaosan to bring her medicine box and put it on the table. She opened it and took out the set of silver needles that Situ Yidong had given her. Now Meixiang could give acupuncture on her own.
"Brother Liu, let's go into the house first. I'll give you acupuncture with silver needles. Later, Brother Liu will prescribe some prescriptions that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, calm wind and stop convulsions, and clear away heat and detoxify to cooperate with your conditioning. Pay more attention to rest and eat light meals." Meixiang stood up first with the silver needles in her hand.
"Let's try acupuncture and herbal medicine first to see how effective it is. If there are any problems, we can adjust at any time." Meixiang prayed silently in her heart, hoping that his condition would not be so bad that he needed surgery.
After hearing Meixiang's words, the three brothers and sisters of the Liu family saw hope, so they cooperated with the treatment very well. Half an incense stick later, Meixiang pulled out the silver needles that were inserted into the Fengchi, Ganshu, Taiyang, Jiaji, Weizhong and other acupuncture points of the Liu family's eldest brother, wiped them clean with a cloth towel, and put them away properly, preparing to disinfect them thoroughly after returning home.
"Brother Liu, I will come back later tomorrow. If you need anything, you can always come to Liujia Village, five miles away, or find me at the Liu Mansion in the south of the village."
