Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1115: Breaking up and leaving

Perhaps she realized that she had lost her composure somewhat, so she stretched out her left hand and gently stroked her hair. She stopped crying and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry! Life is really hard, and I couldn't help it... Doctor Bian, please forgive me!"

"It's okay! It's much better to say it out loud than to keep it in your heart. Given your personality, you wouldn't tell me all this if you didn't trust me. It's okay. I'm just trying to help people solve their problems!" Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"Doctor Bian has a broad mind, which is different from ordinary doctors. I know that... Maybe it was at that time that my son was worried. I usually have two jobs and am very busy. I really can't take care of observing his emotional changes. Later... he really couldn't stay in the company anymore. Although my son is relatively incompetent, he is also a shameless person. He understands that if the company hadn't taken into account that he graduated from a prestigious university with a bachelor's degree in this field, he would have been fired long ago. He resigned after receiving some salary." At this point, the woman seemed a little short of breath and stopped talking to rest for a while.

"Are you your only son?" Bian Mu asked casually while eating watermelon.

"Yes... from a divorced family. His father cheated on him when he was seven years old and went to Shanghai with a woman to pursue his dreams. For many years, I raised him alone. Alas... I was blind..."

"Haha...most of the past is too hard to recall, so let's not talk about it. You haven't gotten married again, right?" Anyway, there were no other patients waiting for treatment, so it would be better to talk about it so that Bian Mu could prescribe the right medicine.

"I didn't have that idea at all... I thought that raising my son to adulthood would be enough for me in this life. Who would have thought that my son was too weak and he couldn't withstand the slightest change in the six energies of heaven and earth... Alas..." The woman sounded somewhat knowledgeable when she spoke.

"Have you learned the art of Mek?" Bian Mu asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the woman's face showed a look of surprise.

"Oh... I forgot that as a master of Chinese medicine, you must be quite proficient in the mysterious art, otherwise... you might not be able to diagnose those strange diseases that are rumored on the streets... I'm sorry for what I said! Please forgive me!" Realizing that she might have said something wrong, the woman quickly apologized.

"Since everyone has come into contact with the Six Sects of Xuanmen, why not speak freely and help each other!"

"I don't deserve it. What do I, a woman, know? It was back then... when my father was alive, I always saw him fiddling with abacus and tortoise shells in front of his desk. Out of curiosity, I also heard and saw some of it. I'm sorry to make you laugh!" When the woman said this, her face turned a little red, and she must be in a much better mood.

"You're welcome! Then... you must have used some medicine on your son before, right?"

"Yes... I haven't studied medical books systematically. I just picked up a few words from my father. They are all very mild and common medicines. I never dare to use special prescriptions. In addition, I know a little about scraping and massage. I have been doing some regulatory treatment for him since he was a child. It was effective at first, but in the past one or two years, it has almost no effect. So... after thinking for a long time, I still shamelessly ask you for help."

"You're welcome! Hearing what you said, we are half-comrades in arms, so let's sit down and discuss. Let me guess... you should know some medicinal material processing techniques such as flying sand and poison, plundering gold and trapping impurities?" Bian Mu suddenly said these words.

"Nothing can be hidden from Doctor Bian's discerning eyes. I do know a thing or two, but... in the past one or two years, it doesn't seem to be very effective, especially in the past six months. My son has been unable to work normally. Alas..."

"Oh! You have used a lot of cinnabar and amber over the years, right?"

Upon hearing this, the woman looked up in surprise and stared at Bian Mu for a few seconds. The woman nodded lightly.

"Your son has been poisoned to some extent, and it is the 'waterline poison'. You have been infusing me with a loving motherly heart for many years. Sigh... I estimate that your son is probably poisoned to a high degree!"

Upon hearing this, the woman suddenly panicked.

"Then... the thing I was most worried about has happened?! Can it be cured?"

"Then you have to come see me. Could your son be bedridden?" Bian Mu asked with a gloomy face.

"That's not the case. He...is not quite normal mentally, and talks less and less. He has a serious social phobia. I'm just guessing. Later...he went to the provincial hospital to see experts from various departments several times, and they said it was pseudo-anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and there is no medicine for it?!" The woman hurriedly explained for a long time.

"Oh! Have you visited Mr. Nie?" Bian Mu asked casually.

"Yes! I asked a relative to make an appointment for him. He went to Mr. Nie's house to see a doctor. Mr. Nie told us to rent a small courtyard in the countryside of Nanjin. Except for the winter, let my son work barefoot in the vegetable garden for a year, and the disease will be basically cured." The woman told the truth.

"You know, Mr. Nie's prescription should be effective." Bian Mu said with a smile.

"At that time, I believed everything he said. Thanks to my relatives, we really found a beautiful village in Nanjin and stayed there for more than a year. My son was indeed very well-behaved, and many of his symptoms were indeed alleviated. However... later on, I found that the phlegm and qi in his body suddenly increased several times. I am a person with a lot of worries, so I thought that maybe we didn't follow the doctor's advice very well?! Let's go to see Master Nie again. The old man went to Shanghai to give lectures and was not in the local area. His apprentice couldn't treat this kind of strange disease, so I turned to Cen Songxue, who was also contacted by my relatives. After taking a look, Master Cen said that it was too cold and damp, and suggested that we do steam bath treatment at home..."

"Oh... it sounds complicated... I guess... in the end it messed up your son's meridians. The recent symptoms... he has phlegm and difficulty coughing, his breathing is disordered, and your son cries for no apparent reason from time to time, but he gets better after the attack. Although he has some social phobia, he can go downstairs to pick up a package, go to the street to buy vegetables, and even help you cook a few meals. Is the real situation similar to what I said?"

Upon hearing this, the woman stood up excitedly.

"It's absolutely true. You two have only met a few times in the community. He doesn't know you, and you wouldn't have noticed him. But his symptoms are almost exactly what you described. So... can it be cured?"

"It can be cured, but you may not be able to do the three words 'cut off, give up, and leave'." Looking up at the sky for a few times, Bian Mu seemed to have guessed something.

"Datsu-shō-ri?! I wonder what Doctor Bian means?" The woman was confused.

"This... the relationship between you and your son is not very normal. Of course, don't get me wrong, I mean... your son is a bit of a mama's boy... too much... so... if you want to give your son a healthy life, I suggest that you and your son should separate for a while. If you are worried, I have a place to arrange for him."

Hearing this, the woman was a little dumbfounded.
