Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1196 Neighbors
At around three o'clock in the morning, a rainstorm suddenly came, with strong winds. The wind helped the rain, and the rain, with the help of the wind, came overwhelmingly towards the areas around Lijin. The huge raindrops hit the awnings on the north and south balconies, making a crackling sound that was deafening!

Bian Mu was awakened immediately.

He quickly ran to the south balcony and closed the window tightly.

Looking at the sky from afar, it was so gloomy that it seemed bottomless. No lightning was seen and no thunder was heard. The momentum of this sudden rainstorm was very strong. Bian Mu guessed that it would be intermittent and would not stop for ten days or half a month.

Living in the house of Old Wu, you should take care of it as much as possible. Otherwise, you will not be able to explain to Wu Fenglan when you check out in the future. Heavy rain suddenly came, and Bian Mu hurriedly began to check the doors and windows to see if there were any leaks...

Fortunately, everything was safe and sound. Thinking back, when Old Wu's house was being renovated, most likely all the workers he hired were professional craftsmen, and the quality of the building materials and hardware they used must be very high. Feeling deeply relieved, Bian Mu boldly fell asleep on him.

The next day, Bian Mu got up early, put on his raincoat and walked around the community. Fortunately, there was no sign of water entering the surface of the community. Some rainwater had entered the underground garage, and seven or eight property staff on duty were clearing the blockage and pumping water. They were busy but not chaotic. Bian Mu did not go too deep, as he estimated that the vehicles parked in the garage should be safe and sound.

He had originally planned to talk to the property company's manager and remind them that if they didn't block the road now, the cars in the underground garage would be soaked like instant noodles sooner or later. However, he thought about it and realized that they were all strangers to each other. It would be useless if he said anything. He might even cause the other party to dislike him. Forget it! There is no escape from natural disasters. Let it be!

Bian Mu lived on the third floor. He checked the front and back of the building for a while and made sure that there were no safety hazards in the Wu family's old house. Then he turned around and walked back.

Standing at the door, Bian Mu was about to take out the key to open the door when the female neighbor upstairs came downstairs and met him.

"Doctor Bian! Can I trouble you with something?" the female neighbor asked with a smile.

The female neighbor is in her seventies, about 1.6 meters tall, which is considered tall for her age. She is thin, with half gray and half white hair, which she never dyes. The old lady looks quite casual on the surface, but if you look closely, you will find that she is actually quite particular about the quality of life. At least, within her ability, the old lady has been trying to live a more refined life.

Bian Mu has always had a good impression of the old lady. She is well-mannered and should have been an employee of a large and respectable company before her retirement.

"Don't be so polite, just tell me what you want to say!"

"My grandson...has had some abnormal health conditions recently. By the way, let me introduce myself first. Before I retired, I was half a colleague of yours, a nurse, working at the Provincial Third Hospital. As for me...I took him to our hospital for a check-up. He has been to both Western and Chinese medicine doctors, but my colleagues couldn't explain what was wrong. My wife has some friendship with Dr. Lan Bingru, so the two of us accompanied him to their traditional Chinese medicine clinic for a check-up. Dr. Lan said it was nothing serious and prescribed seven prescriptions for us to take for a while. I found that the prescription included aconite and cinnabar, and the dosage of cinnabar was quite large. The child is only 7 years old, and I was worried that he would get a mild poisoning and affect his normal development in the future, so I stopped him from taking the medicine." At this point, the female neighbor seemed to realize something and paused slightly.

"It's raining heavily outside, and the corridor is windy and cold. You didn't even put on an extra coat. How about... let's go inside and talk! The clinic has been on vacation for a long time, so don't worry, we can talk slowly." Bian Mu had a good impression of the old lady and suggested with a smile.

"It won't disturb you, will it?" the female neighbor suggested with a smile.

"It's okay! I live alone, and I usually just come back to rest."

"That's good! You seem to be busy. I wanted to block you at the door a few days ago, but I always failed. Haha... I heard the door open just now, thinking you should be at home. When I came out, you had already run away. I was thinking and failed again. My daughter has sharp ears. She heard the footsteps in the corridor sounded like you, so she asked me to come down and take a look. That's why I blocked you." As she spoke, the female neighbor slowly walked into the old house of the Wu family. The doctor's residence is very clean. Although Bian Mu lives alone, he keeps it very tidy inside and out. This is up to his mother.

The female neighbor saw this and her liking for Bian Mu deepened. As a nurse, her home was kept spotless all year round.

"It's still early, have you had breakfast?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"No, I was just making it. How about...you eat first and I'll come over later?"

"You misunderstood. Drinking morning tea on an empty stomach is not healthy. I'll make you some fruit milk. Let's drink it together."

"Thank you then!"

"People upstairs and downstairs, don't be polite to me, please wait a moment!" After saying that, Bian Mu went to the kitchen to prepare some fruit milk.

The two drank and chatted.

"Later, we thought about looking for an expert who is good at puberty syndrome. A friend recommended Professor Meng Shulan. As a result, the prescription she prescribed was similar to that of Doctor Lan, and also contained aconite and cinnabar. We had no choice but to go to Nie's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic to make an appointment and see if we could. As a result, we were told that Professor Nie was giving lectures in other places and would not see patients! Even if we went, it would not be easy for the child to take leave, so we asked a doctor named Pang to take a look."

"Pang Yuxi?"

"I don't remember. He was a very stylish doctor. He explained the pulse very clearly and had a very good attitude. The prescription he prescribed also contained aconite and cinnabar. However, he said that the child was still young, so the amount of cinnabar was reduced a lot. At the same time, he also suggested that we go to Beiqi to see a psychologist. It's the kind of sit-down psychological consultation, not the mental health department of a tertiary hospital. When I heard that, I thought it was not the right way! So I didn't go to him for a follow-up visit. Later, a friend said that you are best at treating difficult and complicated diseases that are not in medical books. I thought, doesn't Doctor Bian live downstairs from my house? Oh! I have no choice but to bother you!"

"A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor! According to what you just said, if I were to prescribe a prescription, I would probably have to use aconite and cinnabar. Don't be surprised when the time comes. You're 16 years old? First year of high school?"

"Yes, he just started school last September. I wonder if it has something to do with the new school? He's not used to it. I asked him, and he said everything about the school is good. Privately, my wife and I went to the school to talk to the head teacher and substitute teacher, but we didn't hear anything unusual."

"Is that so... Is the child home now?"

"I'm sorry! He's getting annoyed with running to one hospital after another with us all day long. He seems a little afraid of seeing doctors. Can we discuss this first?"

"No problem! What are the specific symptoms?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

When the female neighbor heard that Bian Mu was willing to mind her own business, she was delighted.
