Chapter 1012 - 744: The First Place
"I grew up with my grandparents because my parents divorced when I was little.""But recently, my grandpa’s health has taken a turn for the worse. He can’t swallow food, and whenever he eats, his tongue hurts a lot."
"I’ve taken him to several hospitals, spending quite a bit, but his condition hasn’t improved."
"Seeing my grandpa grow thinner day by day is really painful for me."
"Luckily, I came across your video on the internet where you treated patients using traditional medicine."
"I thought, if you can cure those terminal illnesses, surely you can cure my grandpa’s illness too, right?"
The girl with big eyes finished speaking, her eyes already red, looking at Xia Liang with anticipation, afraid that he might say it’s incurable.
Xia Liang understood the girl’s feelings, and with a gentle smile, he said, "Alright, is your grandpa with you now?"
The girl quickly nodded and said, "Yes, he is, I’ll call him over."
Then she called out a few times off-screen, and soon, an elderly man in his seventies walked over.
The old man’s body looked very thin, but he was full of energy. Even though he was in his seventies, he stood straight and tall.
He walked with spirit and vitality, not at all like someone in his seventies.
As soon as Xia Liang saw the old man, he remarked, "Sir, are you a veteran by any chance?"
The elderly man on the screen sat at the table, nodded with a smile, and said, "Young man, how did you figure that out?"
Xia Liang chuckled and said, "Ordinary people don’t have your kind of vigor."
The old man sighed and said, "Ah, I’m getting old and useless. When I was young, I could eat a few peanuts without even blinking an eye."
"Now, it’s different. My tongue, for some reason, hurts like hell when it touches anything."
"I can’t eat properly now."
Xia Liang nodded and then said, "Open your mouth, sir, let me take a look inside."
The old man obediently opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, allowing Xia Liang to see the middle and rear areas of his tongue.
The filamentous part extended in a hair-like appearance.
The rear roots were darker, while the front tongue hair was narrow and triangular, with a black color.
"All done, sir."
Xia Liang said.
The old man closed his mouth and asked again, "Doctor Xia, if my illness is difficult to treat, don’t bother. I don’t have much time left anyway."
The girl beside him immediately cried and hugged the old man’s arm, saying, "Grandpa, don’t say that. Doctor Xia’s medical skills are excellent; he can definitely cure you."
"You’re very healthy; you’ll live a long life. I don’t want to lose you."
The old man nodded gently and comforted her, "Don’t worry, I can manage."
Xia Liang asked, "Sir, your illness is called Black Hairy Tongue."
"Black tongue coating, red tongue body, with discomfort in the epigastric region."
"Do you often like to eat cold foods?"
The old man showed a hint of surprise and said, "Yes, Doctor Xia, it’s a habit I picked up when I was young."
"Back then, on the front lines during the war, there was no food in the army, so we had to eat snow to fill our stomachs."
"Although life is stable now, I still like to eat cold things frequently, almost daily."
Xia Liang nodded and said, "That’s the root of your problem. From now on, you must quit this habit, and you can’t eat cold foods anymore; your body can’t handle it."
"Also, you’re constipated, have a hot and foul mouth, and your pulse is soft and rapid, right?"
The old man nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Doctor Xia, your medical skills are really superb. Just by looking, you identified all my symptoms."
"In my entire life, I’ve only met someone as skilled as you during the war, in the army."
"Unfortunately, that person has passed away. Otherwise, I would definitely introduce you to him."
Xia Liang smiled and said, "You’re too kind, sir. I’m just applying what I’ve learned."
"Sir, for your condition, I’ll prescribe a Weiling Decoction to dispel dampness. As long as you follow the prescription for a month, your illness will disappear and you’ll recover."
The old man’s eyes lit up with surprise, "Really? I’ve been to many big hospitals and seen many doctors. They all said it was incurable and suggested I get my tongue cut off."
"If I get my tongue cut off, forget eating, I won’t even be able to speak. I definitely can’t agree to that!"
"Can you really cure it? Please don’t just comfort me!"
Xia Liang laughed and said, "Sir, if it can be cured, it can be cured; if it can’t, it can’t. I won’t joke about a patient’s health!"
The old man quickly nodded and said, "Alright, I trust you!"
Xia Liang said, "Girl, get a voice recorder, or turn on the recording function on your phone. I’ll tell you the prescription."
The girl hurriedly nodded and started looking for something.
In the live broadcast room, countless viewers also started setting up.
They were very familiar with this scene; Doctor Xia was about to share free benefits, and they didn’t want to miss it!
"Hahaha, it’s time for another freebie session, everyone, hurry up!"
"It’s time for another of Doctor Xia’s freebie sessions; can’t miss it!"
"I’ve got my recorder ready. Last time, a relative of mine had infertility problems. After using Doctor Xia’s prescription, there was a noticeable improvement. I can’t afford to miss any of Doctor Xia’s prescriptions!"
"My mom was going through menopause, and I recommended Doctor Xia’s prescription to her, and it cured her too!"
...
The girl quickly said, "Got it."
Countless viewers in the live broadcast room nodded along and instinctively said they remembered.
It seemed they were already used to this kind of scenario.
Xia Liang nodded and said, "This medicine has its requirements when it comes to preparation."
"Prepare 400ml of spring water, add 165cm of rush pith, boil until it’s reduced to 320ml, and drink it on an empty stomach."
The girl nodded again and said, "Got it."
Xia Liang smiled and said, "Alright, quickly go and get the medication for your grandpa. Remember, take it for a month to recover. During this time, avoid cold foods, and you shouldn’t eat cold foods in the future either, or it will recur."
The girl hurriedly said, "Okay, got it."
"By the way, Doctor Xia, how much is the consultation fee? My grandpa has spent most of his savings on treatment these past two years, can you give us a discount?"
She remembered that Doctor Xia had charged one-tenth of a currency unit for a senior executive’s consultation at Dou Sha last time.
They didn’t have that kind of money now!
