Chapter 116: Cornea
The old lady of the Li family in the house was coming out, groping for the door frame with both hands, and walking tremblingly.
Cai Wei was stunned and turned to look at Li Ruzhou.
Li Ruzhou's expression was a little solemn, and he said lightly, "My mother's eyes are not good." ”
Cai Wei thought to herself: What's wrong with this? It's clearly a blind man.
Looking at the appearance of this old lady, she is about fifty years old, with half-pale hair and a delicate face, and it can be vaguely seen that she was also a beautiful embryo when she was young.
It is said that it is possible to be blind, but if you are blind, there must be a reason.
But the old lady was optimistic, and when she heard her son say this, she still smiled, "Let Miss Mu smile, it's been nearly ten years since I've been blind." ”
Cai Wei was taken aback, this old lady was blind at a young age? What happened?
She remembered that she heard the daughter-in-law of Zhuangtou say in Zhuangzi that the Li family moved from the capital to this Taoshan market town, could it be because of the changes in the capital?
However, she was not qualified to inquire about these secrets in other people's homes, so she just smiled, "Hello old lady, I don't know what caused your eye disease?" I know a little bit about medicine, can I show you? ”
Li Ruzhou was overjoyed and hurriedly continued, "I originally wanted my mother to meet the life-saving benefactor, but I didn't expect Miss Mu to be benevolent, so it would be hard work." ”
Lu Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at the old lady of the Li family, only feeling that this family was a little extraordinary, whether it was words and actions, or doing business at home, there was a unique momentum everywhere.
If it is an ordinary small family, even if the family is wealthy, there is no such atmosphere. Although there are not many people in this family, as soon as he enters the door, he has noticed a lot of details.
The girls and mothers-in-law in the family are all neatly and cleanly dressed, and when they see the living, they can smile and salute, but they are rich but not public, and they are not overly polite.
Such a family is not a century-old family, and it is impossible to do it.
Therefore, as soon as she saw this old lady of the Li family, Lu Ying looked at her carefully.
Although she was blind, she did not have a resentful face, but a charitable smile. Such people are strong in their hearts.
Moreover, this old lady also has a behavior that surprised him a lot, between walking, the steps are not big or small, the walk is not hurried or slow, and the gestures are all the style of everyone's ladies.
Such a family is by no means an ordinary family.
Cai Wei didn't pay attention to this, and was attracted by the old lady's eye disease.
She had an occupational illness again, and when she saw someone sick, she couldn't help but want to take a look.
Li Ruzhou helped his mother to sit down on a rosewood Taishi chair near the window, and Cai Wei stepped forward and looked carefully into her eyes.
Under a closer look, she was even more emotional: this old lady's eyes are extremely beautiful, with wide eyelids, long eye corners, and thick eyelashes.
She looked down at her white eyes and muttered, "It looks like the cornea is broken." ”
Hearing this, several people in the room were stunned, what is a cornea?
Li Ruzhou took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "My mother's eyes are not good, how can it be that the foot mask is broken?" The skin on my mother's feet is good. ”
Cai Wei was stunned for a long time before she realized that this cornea was not her "foot membrane".
She couldn't help but laugh, "Where did you think of it?" The cornea I'm talking about is this transparent layer of the eye. ”
She gently opened Mrs. Li's eyelids with both hands, pointed to a mist-like film, and told Li Ruzhou, "Oh, this is it." When this thing is broken, it cannot be seen by the human eye. ”
Lu Ying behind him also stepped forward to see, he and Li Ruzhou's feelings were even different, like the illness of the old lady of the Li family, he had seen it, but he had never heard someone say it was so transparent.
He couldn't help but appreciate Cai Wei a little more.
Li Ruzhou listened to Cai Wei's analysis of the head of the land, and had a glimmer of hope in his heart, "My mother has had an eye disease for ** years, how many famous doctors have been hired, and she has taken a cart of medicine, but it has no effect at all." Since Miss Mu can tell the cause of the disease, do you think there is a cure? ”
Cai Wei slowly shook her head under his eager gaze, if this disease is left in modern times, it is very simple, just change the cornea.
But in ancient times, if you want equipment without equipment, if you want equipment without equipment, how to change it?
She is a surgeon and not an ophthalmologist, so how dare she take such a risk?
When Li Ruzhou saw her shake her head, her face, which had a glimmer of hope, suddenly turned gray, like a vigorous tree that withered in an instant.
His appearance made Cai Wei feel inexplicably sad.
This person is still a dutiful son.
It's just such a thing, she doesn't dare to pack a ticket.
"I know a way." She hesitated for a long time, and couldn't bear to look at Li Ruzhou, who was so lonely and desperate.
"What's the method?" Almost instantly, Li Ruzhou's eyes, which resembled his mother, shone again.
"It's a cornea change." Cai Wei swallowed her saliva and said carefully, "This cornea is like a mirror, once it is dusty, it will not light up, and people will naturally not be able to see clearly." But if you change it to a new one, it's like a mirror being polished, and you can see the light of day again! ”
This is a metaphor that everyone can understand.
Lu Ying asked with great interest, "Where can I find a new one?" Do you still have to use people? ”
He's a guy who knows it all!
Cai Wei thought secretly and nodded, "You're right, if someone agrees to donate their corneas before they die, then they can be exchanged." It's just that some equipment is needed, and there is no one here. ”
"If you don't have that, you can buy it in the capital." Li Ruzhou hurriedly said, the last thing the Li family lacks is silver, what can't be bought?
It's just that he never understood that the "here" Cai Wei said was not the Taoshan Collection, but this ancient time.
There is no one in the capital.
She couldn't bear to hit Li Ruzhou, so she had to ask them tentatively, "Have you heard that there are Westerners?" Maybe they have such a doctor there. ”
She remembered that when Li Ruzhou introduced Taoshan Ji to her, he once said that it belonged to Beizhili, so she had traveled to the Ming Dynasty?
The Ming Dynasty was divided into north and south!
During the Ming Dynasty, the Western world was probably more developed, right?
Maybe the West can really find these things, and there are even doctors who can change the corneas.
Li Ruzhou pondered for a while, and suddenly stroked his palms and said, "I heard from my eldest brother that our family has a few boats and often does business with Westerners, so I'll ask them to ask." ”
It turns out that there are really Westerners.
It seems that my guess is correct.
"If Westerners can really change their corneas, then they have to find them." Lu Ying suddenly interjected, "Is this person alive or dead?" ”
Cai Wei looked back at him silently, this man can always say something, and he doesn't know what he does.
Lu Ying received Cai Wei's eyes, and savored it carefully, and there was a trace of appreciation in that look.
He couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and finally a smile finally appeared on a face that hadn't smiled since he entered the door.
"I could have bought it for a fortune. If anyone is willing to give his cornea, I will give him ten thousand taels of gold. No more, I'm willing to give my cornea to my mother! ”
The more Li Ruzhou spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end, there were crystal tears in the corners of his eyes.
