Godfather, I can do it too.
When Ji Xiuwen looked over, Lu Xuan felt a bit strange, and he instinctively looked up to see Ji Xiuwen staring at him with bright black eyes. He suddenly felt a chill down his back and quickly shifted his gaze to Zheng Shuixian:
"Ms. Zheng, sorry to take up your time."
"It's okay, this is good, I can learn something too."
Zheng Shuixian smiled, not upset or anxious about Lu Xuan explaining the condition to Su Kenan. Instead, she was composed: "Even though I don't quite understand it, it sounds impressive, and I'm more confident in curing this illness now."
"Having confidence is good; sometimes, having a pleasant mood is better than taking medicine."
Lu Xuan laughed heartily and then began discussing Zheng Shuixian's condition: "The main cause of your illness is a deficiency of the spleen, leading to retention of dampness that's damaging the Ren Meridian and causing discharge. It's due to insufficient spleen energy that causes improper conveyance, leading to loose stools, weakness, and swelling of the limbs. Cinnamon replenishes the fire of the life gate to stimulate central yang energy. The prescription is supplemented with 'Er Chen Tang' to dry the dampness of the spleen, transforming turbidity into clarity, making the clear rise and the turbid descend. It focuses on heavy dampness with emphasis on reinforcing, dispersing, ascending, clearing, drying, and transforming to clear the way for damp elimination. This will strengthen the spleen's vitality, naturally dispelling turbid dampness."
As he spoke, Lu Xuan was already writing down the prescription.
Prescription: Fried White Atractylodes, Fried Dioscorea, Codonopsis, Fried White Peony Root, Plantago Seed, Fried Atractylodes, Dried Tangerine Peel, Prepared Pinellia, Cardamom, Chaihu, Raw Licorice, Fuling.
"Dr. Lu, may I ask, how long do I need to take this medicine?" Zheng Shuixian craned her neck to look at the prescription Lu Xuan wrote.
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said: "Maintain a good mood, and after finishing this medicine, it should have a good effect. Afterward, taking it for another one to two weeks as reinforcement should suffice."
"So soon?" Zheng Shuixian looked surprised. She had been suffering from this illness for three years and had visited hospitals many times. Although sometimes it had some effect, it soon returned to the starting point, like it was never treated.
Now hearing that it could be cured in just two or three weeks, she was a bit hesitant to believe it.
Lu Xuan did not expect Zheng Shuixian to be so excited and straightforwardly said: "It's not a serious illness, two to three weeks of treatment is enough."
"That's wonderful."
Zheng Shuixian repeatedly thanked him. Although this condition is not a major illness, not life-threatening, it is a bothersome matter, more painful than some considerable illnesses.
Now hearing such good news, she was overjoyed and moved to tears.
"Stop dazing, go and get the medicine for her." Lu Xuan patted the absent-minded Ji Xiuwen.
Ji Xiuwen came back to reality, then took the payment slip and headed to the herbal pharmacy.
After letting both of them practice earlier, there was no further practice for them, so the speed was quite fast. Nearing noon at twelve, they finally sent off the last patient of the morning.
Seeing the time had passed the closing hour, Lu Xuan noted that the cafeteria still had food but mostly cold. He looked at the others and suggested: "The cafeteria's food is probably cold, let's go out to eat, just grab a bite across the street?"
"Sure!" Ji Xiuwen agreed wholeheartedly.
Su Kenan hesitated for a moment and said: "I brought my lunch."
Brought lunch?
Lu Xuan was taken aback. Su Kenan is a rich girl, and he had never heard of a rich second-generation bringing lunch to work.
However, since Su Kenan brought lunch, Lu Xuan didn't insist, so he left with Ji Xiuwen, arms around each other's shoulders, heading to the opposite side of the Health Center.
Watching Lu Xuan's departing figure, Su Kenan seemed a bit lost in thought. Then she stood up, went to the back, took a lunch box out of the mini fridge, and put it in the microwave.
She had brought two portions of lunch.
None for Ji Xiuwen.
As Lu Xuan and Ji Xiuwen left the Health Center, Ji Xiuwen suddenly turned his head, looking resentful:
"Godfather, please guide your foolish godson!"
???
Lu Xuan was puzzled, not knowing what he meant.
Did I overlook something?
