Chapter 31 The Clinic Opens for Business

In the blink of an eye, the three-day deadline is just around the corner, and the Gu Clinic has reopened.

  Gu Changsheng got up early that day, took everyone to have a quick breakfast, and then went to the front of the clinic to get busy.

  The first thing to do is to hang up the sign again. As the old saying goes, a shop cannot open without a sign. No matter whether it is a big shop or a small shop, even a roadside tea stall will hang a cloth banner as a sign.

  The sign of Gu's Clinic is well preserved and is placed in Song Bo's house. Song Bo wipes it every day to remember it, and he managed to make this not-so-good wood a little shiny. But even so, it can be seen at a glance that this is an old sign.

  Gu Changsheng was stunned when she looked at the sign. She remembered the old signs preserved in the Yan's ancestral hall of her master, and they were all like the one in front of her. Although the old appearance was hard to hide, they were preserved as much as possible.

  This may also be a kind of spiritual sustenance...

  Gu Changsheng thought of this and retracted his thoughts, and asked Song Bo and others to carry out the old sign.

  Song Bo and others insisted not to let Gu Changsheng take action, but Gu Changsheng, in her bones, still stayed in the era of equality for all. Even if she occasionally used her status to suppress the three little girls around her, she did not really treat them as slaves. Therefore

  , Gu Changsheng would never stand aside as a background decoration. She sternly stated that even Song Bo dragged his sick body to open the Gu's Medical Clinic with all his heart and soul. As the successor and head of the Gu's Medical Clinic, she must not sit on the sidelines and watch.

  Her words directly moved Song Bo and Xiao Cui to tears, and she also praised her good character. As soon as

  the sky was bright, everyone had hung up the sign. Gu Changsheng stood on the street and looked at it. Yes, although the facade looked a little shabby, with this sign out to support the scene, it barely looked a bit presentable.

  There were no firecrackers to celebrate, no lion dances, and no banquets for guests. Gu Changsheng just found a wooden sign and wrote a line of words with a big brush: The clinic is reopened, free clinic for seven days.

  After everything was packed up, Gu Changsheng sat behind the clinic table wearing a modified dress. The wide sleeves of the robe were changed to a closed type, and the hem of the skirt was also opened wider to facilitate movement, but the color was... Well, Song Bo and Xiao Cui both insisted that patients don't like to see white the most, so Gu Changsheng had to settle for the second best and chose a bright red. This color is bright and eye-catching. Gu Changsheng said that even if it was stained with blood, it would not be eye-catching. In fact, the real reason was to show off his own uniqueness. Bright red, very cool and ostentatious, right?

  When the eastern sky was white, Gu Changsheng sat behind the clinic table. She was still sitting there until it was past noon, but no patient came in.

  "My dear, why don't we go buy some firecrackers and set them off? If we open the store quietly like this, no one will know." Xiao Cui said worriedly.

  "Yes, my dear, although we are not well-off, we still have money to buy firecrackers." Song Bo also echoed.

  "Oh, this is really the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is. Let's open the store in a low-key manner. You should know that being low-key is also a silent high-profile. There is a saying that goes, if you don't make a sound, you will be amazing. Our silence now is to pave the way for a surprise in the future, so that we can have the effect of a sudden rise." Gu Changsheng looked as if it was a matter of course to comfort him.

  Song Bo and Xiao Cui were obviously not so optimistic, only Han Qiu was as still as a mountain.

  Gu Changsheng looked at the two people who were anxious and fidgeting, and could only say that the difference in cognition was indeed not something that could be improved all at once.

  Then he remembered that he had to give Song Bo acupuncture in the afternoon, so he pulled him behind a curtain that was split in the lobby.

  Every time Song Bo had acupuncture, he would object to it, and every time his objection became ineffective under Han Qiu's violence.

  After Gu Changsheng finished acupuncture for Song Bo, he sat back at the examination table leisurely.

  Just wait, she is not in a hurry anyway, there are others who are anxious.

  Look at the people who hang around outside the door from time to time, and you will understand the reason.

  She reopened the clinic, and so many people were coveting the medical books and prescriptions left by their grandfather, while waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

  Human beings are really a mixture of contradictions.

  They sat like this until dusk, and Song Bo and Xiao Cui's faces were already dark with anxiety. Gu Changsheng was also estimating the time and calculating whether it was time to close the clinic, when an old woman with gray hair staggered into the threshold of the clinic.

  Song Bo and Xiao Cui helped the person in as if they had seen a savior.

  Gu Changsheng sat on the chair with his chin propped up, staring at her legs carefully.

  The old woman sat on the chair, looking around hesitantly, and said with a nervous face, "I heard from Xiao Shuanzi next door that you don't need to pay for medical treatment here. I wonder if it's true?"

  Song Bo and Xiao Cui both nodded.

  Gu Changsheng glanced at her and nodded, saying in a warm tone, "That's right, the clinic is open for seven days."

  The old woman patted her chest with relief, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face, "That's good, that's good. I don't have money to see a doctor, but I'm glad to meet your kindness. Where is the doctor? Please come and see me." Gu

  Changsheng felt uncomfortable. Damn, she was sitting in front of her, how could she be ignored so thoroughly? But this was a patient, and she had to be gentle to treat the patient. Moreover, there was no female doctor sitting in the clinic at the moment, so she forgave her for the time being.

  Feeling relieved, Gu Changsheng spoke, "Mother-in-law, I am the doctor here, please stretch out your hand."

  The old woman was shocked, staring at the woman in bright red clothes in front of her with wide eyes, and said in disbelief, "You? You are the doctor here? I have lived for more than 60 years, but I have never seen a female doctor."

  It's strange to be unfamiliar! In the future, the hospital will be full of female doctors.

  Although Gu Changsheng complained in his heart, he still raised a smile and continued, "Don't be surprised, mother-in-law, the Gu's medical clinic has been passed down for generations, and I am the only woman left in my generation. I really have no choice."

  "Gu's Clinic? Oh, I remember this old woman. There used to be a doctor named Gu Chengyi. He was very good at medicine and often used medicine to save people." The old woman nodded and continued, "I still remember that Doctor Gu died six years ago."

  Gu Changsheng sighed that the old woman had a good memory, so he could only borrow his grandfather's name to continue, "The doctor Gu Chengyi that grandma is talking about is my grandfather. If grandma believes me, you can stretch out your hand."

  After hearing her say this, the old woman stretched out her hand doubtfully, and asked again uncertainly, "Are you really a doctor?"

  From the looks of it, she was about to retract her hand if Gu Changsheng hesitated a little.

  Gu Changsheng directly put his hand on her pulse, nodded, and took her pulse carefully.

  After a while, Gu Changsheng retracted his hand and looked at the old man in front of him. His hands were covered with calluses, which showed that he was a person who had been working for a long time. He was still working hard at such an old age, but he had no money to treat his illness. He was also pitiful.

  Those who are covered in silk are not silkworm breeders. This is absolutely true!

  "Grandma, open your mouth so I can see."

  The old lady opened her mouth as she was told.

  Gu Changsheng looked at it carefully, then took his hand back and said with a relaxed look, "Grandma's pulse is deep and thin, the tongue coating is red and the tongue is dark red, which is a symptom of cold stagnation and blood stasis. Grandma, you feel that your hands and feet are cold every winter, and even in summer, when it rains, you will also have pain in the joints of your limbs?"

  The old lady looked at Gu Changsheng with surprise and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, madam, you are right. I have this symptom. I didn't say a word, but you said it exactly."

  Gu Changsheng looked at the old lady who was completely different from the old lady just now, and didn't know what to say for a while.

  "Grandma, this disease is not formed in a day, and it will take more than a day to cure it." Gu Changsheng could only tell the truth. This is a typical old cold leg. Because it rained two days ago, she started to feel pain.

  "Oh, madam, what can I do? I still have a great-grandson to raise..." The old lady said here and sobbed softly.

  It turned out that her sons and grandsons were short-lived and died early. Her daughter-in-law was a good one. She worked hard with her all her life to raise her grandson. After a lot of effort, her grandson got married and gave birth to a great-grandson. Then her daughter-in-law passed away. Then her grandson went up the mountain to chop wood and encountered a wolf. He was seriously injured and died. Her grandson's daughter-in-law left her three-year-old great-grandson and remarried, leaving her, an old woman, to raise her great-grandson with hardship.

  Gu Changsheng listened to her rambling and sighed. Then he stood up and said, "If you believe me, come with me."

  Seeing this, the old woman quickly wiped away her tears and followed Gu Changsheng to the curtain.

  "Sit up, take off your coat, and lie down." Gu Changsheng pointed to a small bed behind a curtain and ordered.

  Although the old woman was puzzled, she still took off her coat and lay down. She was so old and there was no outsider behind the curtain, so she naturally had fewer concerns.

  Gu Changsheng took the prepared handkerchief and covered her face with it, saying gently, "Grandma, close your eyes. Don't move no matter what you feel for a while. Understand?"

  Yan's acupuncture is a unique skill. Even in modern times, it is a culmination of traditional Chinese acupuncture, with quite a few other skills. She dared not teach it without permission, nor could she let others learn it secretly.

  Taking out the needle bag from her waist, Gu Changsheng held the needle in one hand and roasted it over the fire. The needle flew in. For her, the acupuncture points can be found with eyes closed, and there is no hesitation in inserting the needle.

  Yanglingquan acupoint, Heding acupoint, Weizhong acupoint... Gu Changsheng knew them all.

  In fact, the best way to treat old cold legs is moxibustion, but now the clinic has no mugwort, so she can only settle for the second best and use fire moxibustion.

  "Xiao Cui, come in and watch grandma, tell her not to move, and call me after a while." Gu Changsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and called.

  During acupuncture, one must concentrate and calm down to ensure that there are no mistakes. Gu Changsheng is a qualified doctor. No matter what kind of patient she faces, she will do her best to do her best. This is a personal habit and also a persistence as a doctor.

  Gu Changsheng returned to the consultation table and sat down. Han Qiu swiftly brought a cup of tea. Gu Changsheng took a sip, took a short rest, and began to write a prescription.

  Gu Changsheng's handwriting was vigorous and powerful, just like her tough and angular personality. She had practiced hard in the past.

  After finishing a prescription, Gu Changsheng squinted her eyes and glanced outside the door, then smiled cunningly, lowered her head and wrote another one...
