Chapter 39 Incurable
Ye Qingran asked doubtfully: "Madam, is there anyone living in the room over there?"
Hearing her question, Aunt Xu seemed to think of something, her face changed, and she paused for a while before answering her.
"That's my son's room."
So there are people living inside, so the smell of rotting flesh is definitely not coming from a dead animal. It is most likely coming from the aunt's son.
"Mom, although it's a bit presumptuous, I would like to ask, is your son sick?"
She had not been in this village for long and didn't know much about the conditions in these people's homes, but it was impossible for a good person to emit such a smell.
But everyone in the village knows that she has good medical skills, and her treatment for Zhang Daqiang has been widely spread in the past two days. If Aunt Xu's son is sick, then she should go to herself to treat her son, but Now that everyone is at her home, she doesn't mention it.
Thinking like this, Ye Qingran became a little curious: "Can you let me go in and take a look?"
Aunt Xu looked a little embarrassed, but after much hesitation, she nodded: "Okay."
She led Ye Qingran into the room. The smell became stronger as she went in. When she got to the bedside, Ye Qingran already felt a little smoky.
But she was worried that her expression would embarrass her aunt, so she resisted the urge to gag and briefly checked the condition of the man on the bed.
"My son Xu Yuan has been suffering from bad legs and feet since he was a child, so he has been sleeping in bed all day long. In fact, there is nothing good to see. This leg disease has been around since he was a child and cannot be cured."
"In addition to the leg disease, there must be other problems, right? You know your son's condition best. Are there any wounds that have not been treated well?"
When she asked, Xu Da seemed even more embarrassed, hesitating and speechless.
After a general inspection, Ye Qingran actually had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure yet. He needed to take off Xu Yuan's clothes to see if there was anything wrong.
But this kind of thing was really embarrassing for people in ancient times, so Aunt Xu couldn't do it without her consent.
Although she doesn't care much about this kind of reputation, after all, in this feudal era, this kind of thing will affect her family. There is no need for her to get into trouble and hurt her family just to do good things.
"Auntie, you are well aware of my medical skills. You have never encountered a disease that I can't cure. Now that I have time, let me take a look at him. Maybe he can be cured soon. Although the problem of leg disease It’s true that it’s difficult to cure after so many years, and I can’t guarantee it, but he has other illnesses that I’m sure can be diagnosed and treated.”
Ye Qingran turned to look at the aunt and expressed her suspicion directly, "I suspect she has bedsores. This disease starts from the bones. It is very serious. If it continues like this, it will kill people."
When she heard that it would be fatal, Aunt Xu's expression changed and she turned a little pale: "Is it so serious?"
"Of course, I don't have to lie to you. Smell the stench coming from his body. It's the smell of necrotic and rotten flesh. If this continues, sooner or later he will die of illness in bed."
Although Xu Yuan was lying on the bed unable to move, it could be seen that Aunt Xu took good care of him. The room was very clean and the sheets and bedding were not dirty. Apart from the stench coming from Xu Yuan's body, there was nothing wrong with anything else.
After hearing what she said, Aunt Xu was a little undecided. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and said: "My son has some problems, but the location is...a little below the lower back. This...you are still a It’s not convenient to look at this girl’s house…”
Only then did Ye Qingran understand why Aunt Xu was so hesitant to let her see Xu Yuan. It was really hard to talk about this kind of thing.
The lower back is right at the buttocks.
Xu Yuan has been bedridden all year round, and his legs and feet are inconvenient and rarely move. The constant friction on the tail bone above the buttocks is very prone to bedsores, which seems reasonable.
"It's okay, I don't care about this. It is a doctor's nature to treat illnesses and save people. There is no difference in the eyes of doctors."
"But you are still a girl after all. If word spreads, I'm afraid it will damage your innocence. You are a great benefactor to our villages, and you are the one who healed my son. If this damages your reputation, then I can let go of my old face. Where to put it!”
Aunt Xu sighed, "It doesn't matter, my son has been here for so long. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive when I go there, so just let him be."
Xu Yuan was awake at this time, as if he didn't know how to speak because he hadn't spoken for so long. He just stared at them blankly, his eyes full of numbness and confusion.
The reluctant Ye Qingran spoke, and Aunt Xu spoke again with difficulty: "What's more, my family's situation is not good, and I can't afford the medical expenses, so I'd better not give up the treatment. Come on, Ye Yatou, let's not talk about this anymore, let's try it. I almost forgot about the rice cakes I just made, they won’t taste good when they’re cold.”
With that said, she pulled Ye Qingran towards the main room with a forced smile on her face.
Ye Qingran let go of his hand and patiently advised: "We are doing things upright, how can we harm our reputation? Everyone knows that your son is unwell, and I am a doctor. Isn't it normal for him to come for diagnosis and treatment?"
She smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. Just let me treat it. You don't have to worry about anything else. As for the medical fees, I don't care. As long as you say a word, it will be treated or not."
Aunt Xu was a little stunned. After all, Ye Qingran said what she said. If she refused again, she would be too stubborn and hurt the girl's face. It was really not good.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ye Qingran opened a corner of the quilt and checked Xu Yuan's pulse first. She said seriously: "Xu Yuan's condition is not very good. He hasn't gotten up for too long and his body is very weak. Faced with this kind of danger, With such symptoms, I’m afraid I can only live until the second half of the year at most.”
"what?!"
Aunt Xu knew that her son was in poor health and would not live long, but she never thought that she would only have half a year to live. If she had to give up her white hair to a black one, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable than letting her die?
"Miss Ye, it's better to treat him. Although my son will never be successful in this life, a mother like me can't bear to watch him die."
As she spoke, her nose became sore and she shed tears.
Ye Qingran comforted her: "Don't worry, ma'am, I will never break my promise if I say I will help him. Just don't worry."
She raised her hand and lifted the quilt completely, but the strong stench could not be covered at all, and she almost vomited on the spot. But she pressed her acupuncture points and forced herself to hold back.
"Help me turn him over and lie on the bed, and I will do the rest."
