The Eighty-Seven Physicians' Parental Heart (Part 2)

  After feeding Liu Juan lunch, Zhu Shouyuan prepared the meal for the three of them to eat, then went to wake up his father-in-law. His father-in-law had taken turns keeping watch with him over Liu Juan last night, so he hadn't gotten up yet.

  Taking care of the patient is also a very tiring thing. In Zhao Yang's place, treating illnesses basically doesn't cost much money. So under everyone's persuasion, they started paying attention to strengthening nutrition in their diet. Today's lunch was quite sumptuous: a bowl of pumpkin chicken pieces, a plate of cucumber mixed with braised pork head and some stir-fried bok choy, the staple food being rice.

  Although Liu Juan had just eaten, she now had to take care of her stomach according to Zhao Yang's instructions. She could only eat seven-tenths full for each meal, and Zhu Shouyuan was strictly following this decision. Secondly, although Zhao Yang said that the food here was not as oily or salty as the hospital's nutrition meals, the food given to Liu Juan was also mainly light and plain. Even a spoonful of mutton soup before meals had to be skimmed off the top layer of oil before she could drink it! In addition, after thirteen days of recuperation, Liu Juan's body had somewhat recovered, especially her stomach, which had almost reached 20% of its normal state!

  So, seeing two meat dishes on the table, she was so tempted that she couldn't take her eyes off them, just like a drunkard who had seen fine wine!

  Zhu Shouyuan saw his wife's appearance and vaguely saw her elegance before she got sick, he was extremely happy in his heart, but also knew that this dish with high oil content was not good for her digestion, so he doted on her and said: "Didn't you just eat?"

  Liu Juan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and begged: "Give me a piece of pumpkin to eat?"

  "Absolutely not!" Zhu Shouyuan said firmly.

  Liu Juan sniffled, reluctantly shifted her gaze away, lay down on her back, and closed her eyes to avoid trouble.

  Zhu Shouyuan handed the chopsticks to his father-in-law and smiled: "You want to eat, then hurry up and get better soon!"

  Liu Juan took a few deep breaths and said firmly: "Yes, I must get better soon!"

  Zhu Shouyuan and the other two people started eating happily.

  Listening to the sound of three people eating, Liu Juan couldn't help but turn her head and look over. She saw Zhu Shouyuan pick off a small piece of chicken meat and feed it to his son Xiao Banli, who then started eating with his little mouth moving up and down. Her own mouth was subconsciously half open, and a thread of saliva flowed out!

  However, she also knew that this greasy thing couldn't be eaten now, so she could only avert her gaze with great difficulty and saw the few autumn cucumbers placed in the plastic basket on the small table next to her. She said, "These little darlings have just been picked from the trellis, with flower and thorns still attached, and dew on them, fresh and green. It must be very good if you take a bite, letting the refreshing sweet and crispy taste linger on your tongue tip, hmm, it's not bad!"

  Zhu Shouyuan was feeding her son with a small spoon, and when she said that, she burst out laughing. She looked at her and said, "Speak properly!"

  Liu Juan smiled and said: "I want to eat a cucumber!"

  Zhu Shouyuan hesitated for a moment before refusing, "Zhao Yang said you can't eat raw or cold food, let's wait until your body is better before eating!"

  "What are we waiting for? I'll just have one, no, half! Half should be okay, right?"

  Zhu Shouyuan didn't say a word, clearly disagreeing. His father-in-law also advised him in a serious tone: "Son, listen to Zhao Yang's words!"

  But Xiaoban Li looked at them with his mouth open, picked up a cucumber and clumsily walked to Liu Juan's bed, handing it to her.

  Liu Juan took over the cucumber and said with great joy: "Still a filial son!"

  Zhu Shouyuan snatched it over and put the remaining cucumber in another room.

  Liu Juan's eyes widened in anger, and she exclaimed: "Die Zhu, am I still your wife or not? You treat me like this! What's wrong with eating just one bite? Can't I even have that?"

  Zhu Shouyuan let out a sigh, washed one, used a clean towel to wipe the water dry, cut off the tenderest small segment and handed it to Liu Juan, saying in a bad tone: "Here, chew it into small pieces, wait for it to cool down before eating!"

  Liu Juan smiled happily, took a bite of the thumb-sized cucumber and started chewing. It was indeed irrigated with mountain spring water, the taste is different!

  ……

  For over ten days, Zhao Yang hadn't slept well and was feeling somewhat fatigued. After lunch, he lay down for a short nap. But just as he had lain down, his phone rang. He picked it up to see that it was Zhu Shouyuan calling. He immediately sat up straight. Although Liu Juan's condition had improved slightly, she was still in a critical state and he didn't dare guarantee that there wouldn't be any unexpected developments!

  As soon as the phone was answered, Zhao Yang heard Zhu Shouyuan rushing and anxiously shouting: "Zhao Yang, are you at home? Hurry up, hurry over! Liu Juan, Liu Juan suddenly has severe stomach pain! And, and diarrhea!"

  Zhao Yang ran out of the door while saying: "Don't worry! I'm asking you, is she just having stomach pain? Are there any other symptoms? Is she unconscious?"

  Zhu Shouyuan panted and said: "When I came out, she just had a stomachache, no other symptoms!"

  Zhao Yang let out a slight sigh of relief and said: "I'll be there right away, you don't have to come over, hurry back and take care of your wife!"

  Zhu Shouyuan slapped his forehead, he was also anxious, and hastily agreed and ran back.

  Zhao Yang rushed to the team's courtyard and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Liu Juan's face pale, while on the Blood Qi Mirror, he could see that her body's blood qi had clearly decreased compared to when he just left!

  But that's normal, diarrhea is originally very damaging to the body, the key is how did she get diarrhea? After Zhao Yang's dozen days of recuperation, Liu Juan's qi and blood have reached a temporary balance at this level, except for physical weakness, she shouldn't have diarrhea, right?

  As soon as she saw Zhao Yang, Liu Juan's nose turned sour, and she said weakly, like a child in front of an adult: "Zhao Yang, I...I have a stomachache!"

  Zhao Yang grasped Liu Juan's hand, and as soon as he did, he felt a chill run through it. When she opened her mouth to speak, he discovered that her tongue had turned green. His face changed color in surprise, and he asked: "What did you eat just now? Cucumber?"

  Zhao Yang didn't ask, but Liu Juan also knew it was that piece of cucumber that caused trouble!

  The cucumber was crunchy and sweet in her mouth, but after the first bite went down her throat, she felt a slight chill in her stomach. However, she continued to eat the rest of the cucumber out of habit.

  After the cucumber was all gone, she felt a bit of pain in her abdomen, and when she touched it, there was still a hard lump! She asked Zhu Shouyuan to massage it for a while, but not only did the abdominal pain not stop, but it became even more severe! And then diarrhea came too!

  When Zhao Yang asked this way, Liu Juan felt both pain and regret. She looked at the quilt cover with a pattern of bamboo forest, and said in a low voice: "Uh... just a little!"

  Zhao Yang's anger suddenly arose! He used every means to help Liu Juan adjust her body, but she didn't take care of her own body!

  For more than ten days, he didn't even have time to sleep, busy with one thing after another. On the one hand, he was adjusting her meridians and letting her qi and blood flow return to normal, which had already been initially achieved.

  Another aspect is to nourish her stomach well. With Liu Juan's current physical condition, if only adjusting the meridians and blood circulation without supplementing Qi and Blood, it would be like repairing the dam without storing water, which would have no effect at all. Therefore, nourishing the stomach is extremely crucial!

  So Zhao Yang attaches great importance to Liu Juan's eating problem. At first, her stomach's qi and blood were too weak, so she could only give her a thick rice soup to drink, because the thick rice soup didn't need to be digested with effort and could almost be directly absorbed. When her stomach's qi and blood got a little better, she gave her various porridges and soups to drink, and now she can already eat rice.

  From porridge to congee to rice, as the density of food increases, the nutrition obtained also increases, and the body's energy and blood also increase. As the body's energy and blood increase, the digestive ability of the intestines and stomach is slowly recovering, and Zhao Yang can also use some medicinal prescriptions. In short, following this line of thinking, her body will get better and better, and cancer is not incurable!

  However, her body had just shown some signs of improvement and could be said to still be hovering on the edge of death. She ignored his repeated emphasis and went ahead to eat raw and cold food! Although it was only a small piece of cucumber, for her current physical condition, it was not something she could tolerate! Similarly, this bout of diarrhea also had an extremely bad impact on her body!

  Liu Juan saw Zhao Yang not speaking, only staring at her sternly. Thinking of what Zhao Yang had done for her, not only treating her illness without charging any money but also taking out precious wild ginseng to cure her, and on top of that, every two hours day and night for over ten days, he would give her an injection. This kind of dedication, they weren't even close relatives, how could she not be deeply moved? But instead, she couldn't control her mouth and added new troubles, how could she not feel ashamed and regretful? Thinking about it, she burst into tears.

  Zhu Shouyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and regretfully said: "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have given it to her to eat!"

  Liu Juan cried for a while, her face turned even paler. She grasped Zhao Yang's hand and trembled as she said: "Zhao Yang, I... my stomach hurts, it hurts so much I can't bear it!"

  When Liu Juan saw that expression, it was like a sick little girl facing her strict father. Zhao Yang's heart softened instantly. He let out a sigh, took out a silver needle and pricked her belly, then sat on the bedhead with his hands warmed up to massage her ears: "You have to know, your body can't take any more of this! From now on, you must control your mouth, you can't just eat whatever you see, did you hear me?"

  Maybe it was psychological, after one jab, Liu Juan immediately felt no more pain! She let out a sigh of relief and obediently said "uh-huh".

  Zhu Shouyuan saw Liu Juan's expression relax, and he also let out a sigh of relief. He immediately said: "From now on, I will definitely take good care of her. If I don't eat something, I'll put it away and not let her see it!"

  After this incident, even if Zhao Yang didn't say anything, she wouldn't dare eat randomly anymore!

  Liu Juan's diarrhea is not complicated at all, it's because she ate raw cucumber and her stomach got cold air.

  Actually, anyone who eats raw cucumber will be affected by the cold air. The difference is that a normal person can withstand a larger amount of cold air, which means they can eat more, while a sick person's tolerance for cold air is smaller. For example, if a healthy person ate this small piece of cucumber, their body heat would be enough to dispel the cold air and they wouldn't be affected at all. Although Liu Juan was affected, the amount of cold air itself was small.

  Zhaoyang's method is to control the cool air through the "micro-taiji vortex" at the tip of the needle, and then stimulate the ear acupoints to bring it up. At the same time, when massaging Liujuan's ears, he will also make her facial temperature rise, so that the cool air can be expelled from the body through sweat.

  After massaging for over ten minutes, Liu Juan's face was covered in sweat. As the sweat flowed out, her abdominal pain also disappeared, and the feeling of "diarrhea" that she had been enduring also miraculously stopped!

  Expelling the cool air is just the first step, and what's left is to regulate the disorder of qi and blood circulation caused by this diarrhea, which took more than half an hour. Then it was time for the transformation of qi and blood in the Heart Meridian and Small Intestine Meridian!

  After busy, Zhao Yang took out a piece of ginseng and chewed it in his mouth, only then did he feel comfortable.
