Chapter 278: Mr. Fang’s Sister, Jiang Qi

Yu Gangan stood up and placed her fist in hand respectfully, “Elder Huang is detailed with pulses and accurate with his diagnosis.”

Feeling the respect, Elder Huang nodded and motioned for her to speak.

“The stomach is the mother of all internal organs; it requires stomach Qi to function, but it also produces stomach Qi. If one wants to cure an illness, they must take medicine. If a patient does not take their medicine, how can they be cured?” Yu Gangan said.

Jiang Qi finally understood why Yu Gangan said she couldn’t cure the old man and not that the old man couldn’t be cured.

But, this cure was equivalent to no cure.

Her eyes heated up and a layer of tears formed, “Is there no other way? For example, acupuncture or surgery? Elder Huang, you must think of a way…”

All the doctors cherished their reputation. This illness wasn’t difficult, but it wasn’t easy either. With a serious expression, Elder Huang said, “I’ll prescribe another two doses for Elder Jiang and see his response.”

“Perhaps, someone can pick some wild vegetables and boil them in water for him to drink,” Yu Gangan added.

Jiang Qi looked puzzled and shocked.

Wild vegetable water?

If medicine was useless, what could wild vegetable water do?

Dr. Yuan’s face sunk and he glared at Yu Gangan. He then looked at Elder Huang and said, “Elder Huang has devoted his life to nurturing new talent for Chinese medicine. But, he should consider the occasion before he tries to promote someone.”

Were they kidding? Using wild vegetable water to cure an illness?

Dr. Yuan doubted that Yu Gangan had any true talent.

He simply thought Elder Huang was promoting her by allowing her to check the old man’s pulse after him.

But, there was a limit to what he was doing.

However, unlike Dr. Yuan, Elder Huang asked Yu Gangan, “Why are you suggesting wild vegetable water? Are there any similar medical records in ancient books?”

Yu Gangan shook her head, “I have not seen such a case before. I simply remembered a custom. If one eats wild vegetables and boiled eggs on March 3rd, they will have no headaches for a year. Wild vegetable water can also detoxify and protect the body. Wild vegetables are generally thick. Compared to oily food, it can arouse hunger once it enters the stomach. Humans and rice go together like iron and steel. If they don’t eat, they will get hungry. A loss of appetite means a decrease in stomach Qi. In the old man’s case, not only is he not eating, he also has no appetite. This means he has a serious deficit in stomach Qi. He needs an increase in stomach Qi for future foundation. Wild vegetables are grown in the mountain, but they are very nutritious. Many wild vegetables have the ability to boost Qi and replenish the stomach. Since medicine is too bitter and strong, and the old man can’t even eat normal food, it’s only normal for him to reject the medicine. In comparison, wild vegetable water is relatively tasty.”

Elder Huang did not say a word as he thought about the possibilities.

“Are you sure wild vegetable water can make the old man eat again?” Dr.Yuan asked.

Yu Gangan shook her head, “No, it’s just a suggestion.”

Dr. Yuan’s expression sunk and he yelled, “Ridiculous. If the doctor isn’t confident, how can they prescribe something recklessly? What if something happens?”

Jiang Qi was extremely worried about Elder Jiang. She was completely lost and unsure of what to do. All she could do was look at Fang Zhihan and cry helplessly, “Big Brother, what should we do?”

Her voice was hoarse and her eyes were red.

Big Brother? Yu Gangan fell into a state of surprise. What did Jiang Qi call Fang Zhihan? Were they siblings? Real siblings?
