Chapter 119 Acupuncture for Granny Wu
After returning to the clinic, Feng Qingqing tidied up the yard inside and out, especially the area around the cooking stove.
She glanced at the pile of firewood that Sister-in-law Gao and the others had brought by the door, thinking that she would have to find someone to build a simple shed to store the firewood sometime, otherwise it would be difficult to burn the firewood once it got wet from the heavy snow in winter.
Time flies by in the midst of our busy lives.
In the afternoon, Sister-in-law Ge and Aunt Luo came to pick up the medicine. They were extremely grateful to Feng Qingqing for making the medicine so quickly.
After seeing the two off, she looked at the chives, greens, and radishes they had brought and smiled silently. These two were thoughtful people. Of course, she accepted their payment for the medicine without hesitation; that was the rule.
After the two left, Feng Qingqing felt a little puzzled. Why hadn't Aunt Wu's family come to pick up the medicine in the past two days? After a while, she looked at the gate, but still no one came. Still feeling uneasy, she packed her things, took the ointment, slung a small basket over her shoulder, locked the door, and went out.
Without any further delay, she went straight to Aunt Wu's house. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she heard a commotion inside. Feng Qingqing was puzzled. Today, the brigade organized a lotus root digging activity, and most people went to dig lotus roots, even the women and children went to help. Why was Aunt Wu's house so lively? It shouldn't be like this.
Feng Qingqing muttered to herself as she arrived at the courtyard gate and knocked on the door. She saw that there were quite a few people standing in the courtyard. Whether her knocking was too soft or the voices in the courtyard were too loud, no one noticed her arrival.
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Feng Qingqing stopped talking and just stood quietly by the door for a while before she realized what had happened. At the same time, she thought to herself, "No wonder Aunt Wu hasn't been able to take care of Uncle Wu's ointment these past few days."
It turns out that Wu's youngest son has somehow gotten involved with a widow next door. The widow not only has a child, but also has a bad reputation. Now, Wu's youngest son has actually asked his family to let him marry the widow. How could Wu and her husband agree to this? That's why the youngest son has been making a scene at home these past two days.
This afternoon, Aunt Wu, who was watching the commotion by the pond, heard that the young widow's family had arrived, so she rushed back immediately. Before the two sides could exchange more than a few words, they started arguing.
Feng Qingqing sighed softly, knowing that now was not the time to speak, and she couldn't solve the problem here. It's true that every family has its own troubles, so she turned around and went back.
She initially thought this had nothing to do with her, but to her surprise, not long after she returned home, a young man, barely out of breath, ran into her yard and began to speak:
"Dr. Feng, Dr. Feng...please go to my uncle's house quickly, my aunt has been pushed to the ground and fainted."
The young man finally caught his breath and managed to speak clearly and completely.
Feng Qingqing was somewhat puzzled, wondering who the old woman he was referring to was. A bad feeling crept into her heart; could it be Aunt Wu? Before Feng Qingqing could ask, the young man explained:
"My uncle is Wu Shengrong, Dr. Feng, please go and take a look at him."
Just as Feng Qingqing had predicted, she didn't linger. She went inside to get her first-aid kit, locked the door, and then followed the young man quickly toward Aunt Wu's house, which she had visited before.
The house wasn't as lively as before. As soon as you entered the courtyard, you could see only a few members of the Wu family surrounding Aunt Wu, who was lying on the ground.
Feng Qingqing looked around but didn't see the young widow and her family who had been arguing earlier; they probably ran away when they saw the trouble they had caused.
As Feng Qingqing had predicted, the family had come to put pressure on the Wu family to get them to agree to the marriage as soon as possible. However, someone accidentally pushed Wu's mother down, and she fell unconscious. This terrified the family, and they all ran away in a flash.
After Feng Qingqing arrived, there were only a few people left in the courtyard.
Feng Qingqing ignored the others and saw that the old woman was still lying on the ground. In October, the weather wasn't cold, but if she lay on the ground like that for a long time, she could easily get frostbite.
She had someone quickly carry Aunt Wu to the bed inside the house, and then began to carefully examine Aunt Wu's injuries. Feng Qingqing did not see any obvious external injuries, and was worried that she had temporarily lost her breath due to anger and frustration.
In this situation, Feng Qingqing's first thought was that the person would wake up after two acupuncture treatments. Moreover, she clearly saw the path from the Tanzhong acupoint to the Baihui acupoint in her mind. She was shocked, not expecting that what she had pondered last night would come true today. It wasn't that she was special, but that it applied to everyone else. This made her feel both surprised and delighted. She controlled her expression, thought for a moment, and felt that she still had to try it to see the effect.
But now it's embarrassing, she doesn't even have a set of acupuncture tools. It seems she'll have to find a way to solve the tool problem someday.
Without thinking too much, Feng Qingqing quickly said to Uncle Wu next to her:
"Uncle, could you go to Grandma's place and see if she has any embroidery needles or sewing needles? I need to give Grandma a few acupuncture needles, otherwise, if she stays unconscious like this, it will harm her health."
After applying the ointment prescribed by Feng Qingqing, Uncle Wu admired Feng Qingqing immensely and followed her instructions without hesitation.
Wu's sons, who were initially skeptical that Feng Qingqing, so young, knew acupuncture, saw that their father was so obedient and were afraid of upsetting their father again. So they didn't dare to say anything. They were thinking that if this young doctor Feng was not good, they could send her to the hospital again in time, so it wouldn't be a big problem. They just stood quietly by and watched.
Uncle Wu arrived quickly, carrying several needles. Feng Qingqing could tell he had brought all the needles in the house. She didn't say much, picked out a few, and told everyone else to leave, leaving Uncle Wu in the house.
Feng Qingqing was somewhat nervous about giving acupuncture to someone for the first time, but she didn't show it. She took a deep breath and recalled the contents of the book. She had read the book "Human Acupoints and Meridians" at least five times since she got it, and she could recite it from memory. But she was still a little nervous when it came to the task at hand.
Moreover, she wondered if it was just her imagination, but the more thoroughly she understood the book, the more she felt as if a clear portrait of the human body was being displayed before her, a portrait full of acupoints and meridians, which was truly astonishing.
