Chapter 59: The Old Man
"Thank you, teacher, for the reminder! Shan'er understands! Shan'er wants to read more books here! ā
"Yes, girl! Decay, I'll help you handle it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" The old man's voice was loud and cheerful, and he took out a booklet, numbered it in turn, and filled in the payment date, amount and remaining days.
"Come, sign your name here! Your number is 16606, be sure to remember it clearly! From then on, the number and name will do! The old man said, pointing to the pamphlet.
"Yes! Teacher! Qin Shan silently wrote down her number, raised her hand and waved the brush, and the beautiful little block bloomed on the paper like a flower.
"Girl, what a beautiful word!" The old man praised and admired it for a while before reluctantly putting away the booklet.
"Alright, you can go in!" As the old man spoke, he pushed the wheelchair he was sitting in with both hands, and a subtle "squeak" gear friction sound appeared in front of Qin Shan's eyes.
At this moment, the old man and the old man who had just talked to Qin Shan did not seem to be the same person. The old man just now, warm, loving, and energetic. At this moment, the old man was still smiling, but he was sitting in a dilapidated wheelchair, his legs covered by a small quilt, and the silver ticket was placed on top of the quilt on his legs.
The elderly, disabled old man has such a peaceful and warm smile! Qin Shan was moved.
I saw that the old man's hands were slightly forced, the green tendons on his arms jumped up, the wheelchair turned, and after a while, the old man came to the right locker and locked the silver ticket handed over by Qin Shan.
Qin Shan habitually paid attention to the old man's legs, and it was easy to find that the old man was not disabled, but suffering from leg disease! Now that it is summer, the weather is starting to heat up, the old man is wearing a single layer of cloth shoes, and the bare ankles and calves and knees under the cloth pants seem to be normal, but they are obviously prominent and swollen at the joints.
In Qin Shan's heart, she vaguely inferred that the old man might be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases, so he sat in a wheelchair all day long!
The old man looked at Qin Shan and didn't move, but stared at his legs and feet, but his eyes were not mocking and sarcastic, nor were they compassionate, but a kind of exploration and speculation.
The old man smiled and patted his leg and explained: "Don't look at it, girl, many years ago, I was chased and killed by the enemy, and I had no choice but to jump off the cliff. ā
"And the enemy is suspicious by nature, he wants to see people in life and corpses in death, and he has been looking for three months at the bottom of the cliff! Fortunately, the cold cave was hidden and cold, but no one came in to look for it. And my legs were soaked in cold water for three months! Survive on small fish in raw water every day. I picked up my life! As he spoke, the old man wondered how he could talk so much to a girl who had never lived before!
"Teacher, can you let Shan'er take a look at your legs?" As Qin Shan spoke, she came to the old man's wheelchair, naturally squatted down, and involuntarily put her hands on the patient's legs, following the meridians, and gently massaging them.
Once, on that earth, the closest and best person to himself was his university tutor, the gray-haired old man! The mentor gave her full love and help, and she always loved Qin Shan as her own granddaughter!
And the tutor happened to suffer from severe rheumatoid arthritis, and the pain has been tormenting this kind and respectable old professor! However, modern advanced medical technology has been helpless against this case.
In order to alleviate the pain of her mentor, Qin Shan took Chinese medicine and acupuncture for four years, and spent a long time reading a large number of books and materials. For this matter, Qin Shan will trek through mountains and rivers during almost all winter and summer vacations, looking for and visiting almost all the famous and well-known old Chinese medicine doctors in China, moving them with affection, knowing them with reason, and humbly asking for advice and discussion!
And as the tutor's illness gradually lessened, Qin Shan's acupuncture skills became more and more powerful!
When he saw this loving old man in a wheelchair, his kind and peaceful gaze made Qin Shan seem to see the old professor who had doted on him! Qin Shan couldn't help but want to help this old man, alleviate his pain, and even help him get back on his feet!
The old man looked at Qin Shan's sincere eyes and natural movements, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm like summer! I can't even remember how many years this pain has followed me! I can't remember how many miracle doctors I've looked for! I have also taken a lot of panacea to ward off cold and heat, but the pain in my legs has not improved at all, and it has become more and more serious!
The old man's leg hurts like a knife all the time, day and night, every minute and every second never stops! And from the beginning of enduring the pain and pretending to be happy, to now hiding from everyone's eyes, a calm and flawless life, only I understand the suffering.
Because he has been sick for too long and too long, everyone slowly forgot about his leg injury as the old man wished, and became accustomed to life, communication, chatting, eating, and drinking tea, and everyone gradually accepted his disability and forgot that he was still suffering in pain. But the old man saw unbearable and distressed in Qin Shan's eyes! Yes! Her years of pure acting skills have not escaped the eyes of this little girl!
Qin Shan's hands wandered over the deformed joints, how could she not know what kind of suffering the old man was suffering! Qin Shan's massage techniques are getting heavier and faster, and the stimulation of acupuncture points and the wandering of veins make the old man's calm and easy-going face slightly nervous!
Yes! The old man actually felt a burst of warmth on his legs, which filled his calves that had no other perception except pain, comfortable! Warm and hot, as if it can expel the slightest cold poison, so that the cold and painful legs feel warmth for the first time!
The old man's hands trembled, and his heart trembled, as if in the darkness, he vaguely saw hope and light!
Qin Shan was still squatting on the ground, raised her chubby face, and asked seriously, "Do you feel the heat?" Are the teacher's legs cold all year round? If I use hot water, will it worsen the pain? When it rains or the seasons change, does it hurt even more? ā
"Oh? Have you ever seen such a disease? It is true that old decay is as the girl said, and this evil disease has been bothering me for a long, long time. Perennial pain is unbearable. The old man replied calmly as much as he could, dispelling the excitement in his heart.
"Teacher, I can cure your illness! But I'm not sure if it can be cured! But at least it will alleviate your pain, teacher! Qin Shan carefully examined the old man's injuries over and over again, and replied cautiously.
