Chapter 25 Aunt Chen's Disease

"Aunt Chen, what kind of disease are you suffering from? Why do you stay in the orphanage and don't go to the hospital? At this time, Qi Yue has completely regarded Aunt Chen as his relative.

"It's useless!" Aunt Chen shook her head and said, "I have an old problem. It doesn't matter!"

"Old problem?" Qi Yue sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Aunt Chen's arm, and then pressed it on Aunt Chen's wrist with his right finger.

"Xiao Qi, you are..." Aunt Chen asked puzzledly.

Fang Ying also looked surprised and said, "Qi Yue, can you also take your pulse?"

Qi Yue did not answer them, but put his other hand on his mouth and "booed" to signal them to calm down.

......

Indeed, Fang Ying was right. Qi Yue was indeed taking the pulse of Aunt Fang. However, Qi Yue's way of taking the pulse is quite different from that of the old traditional Chinese medicine doctors in modern society. Nowadays, when old traditional Chinese medicine doctors take the patient's pulse, they often just hold the patient's pulse for quiet diagnosis, while Qi Yue uses two fingers to knead Aunt Chen's wrist back and forth.

The method used by Qi Yue is the way Fan Zeng taught Xiang Yu more than 2,000 years ago. Although it looks strange, it can better diagnose the patient's condition. Although Qi Yue's understanding of this pulse method is less than one-tenth of Fan Zeng, he has been able to cope with some common cases.

After a moment, Qi Yue's face changed - like a cloudy day.

"This is not an old problem, it's tuberculosis!" Qi Yue looked at Aunt Chen motionlessly and said, "This kind of tuberculosis does not origin from the body, but is caused by thick smoke..."

"Cough..." Aunt Chen avoided Qi Yue's eyes and said, "Silly child, how can it be! Aunt Chen has been staying in the orphanage. How can she be choked by the thick smoke? Trust Aunt Chen, this is just an old problem. You will get better after a break..."

"Aunt Chen, don't hide it..." Fang Ying squeezed her lips and finally couldn't help saying, "You have been lying down** for more than half a month, but your condition has not improved at all. If I don't find a way to go to the hospital to clear my lungs, I'm afraid this disease can no longer be cured..."

"clear lungs?" Qi Yue turned his head, looked at Fang Ying and said, "Listen to you, is there any way to cure Aunt Chen's tuberculosis?"

"Of course!" Fang Ying said, "Professor Wang said that as long as you give Aunt Chen a lung cutting operation, scrape off the toxins left in the lungs, and recuperate for a few more months, Aunt Chen's lung disease will recover..."

"I didn't expect the current medical skills to be so magical!" Qi Yue said, "In that case, why don't you go to the hospital for surgery?"

"I have no money!" Shiya leaned her head forward and said, "Last time, Aunt Chen was sent to the hospital with you, but Aunt Chen came back without staying for a day. Because the hospital said that if you don't have money, you won't see a doctor..."

"How can this be!" Qi Yue bit his teeth and said, "Doctor's parents', are those doctors still good?"

"Xiao Qi, you can't blame the doctor..." Aunt Chen held Qi Yue's hand and said, "Professor Wang often asked Xiaofang to see me and gave me a lot of medicine for free. However, we don't have money to see a doctor, and the hospital doesn't want to accept it. Even if Professor Wang wants to help us, he is willing but not enough!"

"That's it!" Although Fang Ying also sympathized with Aunt Chen's experience, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied when she heard Qi Yue complaining about the "doctor". After all, she is a medical student, and Professor Wang is also her teacher. Fang Ying looked at Qi Yue and said, "Qi Yue, you'd better find a way to collect the medical expenses as soon as possible. Only by sending Aunt Chen to the hospital can we operate on Aunt Chen as soon as possible..."

"Stop talking, Xiao Fang..." Aunt Chen said to the other side, "Xiao Qi is still a student now. Where can he get so much money..."

"It doesn't matter! I have a way to get the money!" Qi Yue thought for a moment and turned his head and said, "If you want to operate on Aunt Chen, how much will it cost?"

Fang Ying pinched for a while and said, "Professor Wang said that if he operated on Aunt Chen, there would be no surgery fee. Nevertheless, there is no way to avoid the money collected by the hospital, a total of about 120,000..."

"A total of 120,000, right? No problem, I can make it!" Qi Yue doesn't have much idea of this number. He only knew that Aunt Chen needed this money for an operation, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Xiao Qi, you... you're not kidding, are you? This...so much money, where are you going to raise it? Aunt Chen looked at Qi Yue with an unbelievable face.

"Mountain people have mountain people's tricks, and I have my way! Leave the money to me, and you can rest assured!" Qi Yue said.

"No, Xiao Qi! Be a man... have principles, unrighteous wealth... you can't! If... the origin of your money... The origin is unknown, even if you raise it, Aunt Chen... will never ask for a penny... Cough..." Aunt Chen has said so many words in a row that her lungs can't stand it, and the breath in her mouth has become much thicker.

"Well, Aunt Chen, don't worry! Xiaoqi will remember your words!"

After Qi Yue finished speaking, he got up and walked outside the house.

"Brother Qi, are you leaving? Don't you sit any longer?" Seeing that Qi Yue was about to leave, Shiya quickly took Qi Yue's hand and said.

Qi Yue bent down, reached out to touch Shiya's head and said, "Shiya, take good care of Aunt Chen. Brother Qi is going to raise money for Aunt Chen to see a doctor..."

"Brother Qi must come back often! Shiya was afraid that bad guys would set fire again..." Shiya seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly showed panic.

"Afraid of bad people set fire?" Qi Yue frowned and said, "Shiya, tell Brother Qi what's going on?"

"It's the yellow-haired ghost and that big nigger... They are so bad that they even drove into Brother Qi..."

"Yellow-haired ghosts and big niggers? Who are they?" Qi Yue asked quickly.

"That's..."

"Shiya! Children's family, don't talk nonsense! Cough..." Aunt Chen covered her chest and quickly stopped drinking Shiya.

Shiya looked at Aunt Chen with a little fear, and then looked at Qi Yue with a pair of big watery eyes, shaking her head and said, "Little...Brother Qi, Shiya doesn't know anything..."

When Qi Yue saw this scene, he immediately understood that Aunt Chen intended to hide something from him. But he couldn't ask anything more, so he smiled at Shiya and said, "It doesn't matter. Brother Qi is leaving. You have to listen to Aunt Chen!"

"Well, Shiya is very good!" Shiya said with a red face.

"Qi Yue, let's go back to school together! I have seen Aunt Chen's condition, and I happen to go back to school to report the situation to Professor Wang. Fang Ying said.

"Okay! It's boring to walk back alone. Two people can just be a companion!" Qi Yue said.

So, Qi Yue and Fang Ying said goodbye to Aunt Chen and Xiao Shiya, and then left side by side.
