Xie Peilan raised her hand and hit him, but she didn't use much strength. She reprimanded, "Top hand diagnosis expert? If that's not bragging, then what is it … Li Rui, don't listen to his nonsense. Let's get down to business."
Li Rui nodded and said, "Okay, okay. You said that my brother has a hidden illness. What is it?"
Xie Peilan frowned and said, "According to the preliminary results, I suspect that the old man has lung cancer, but I can't be sure. It's just a preliminary suspicion, so I didn't dare to say it in front of Mr. Huang. Can you find a brightly lit place for us to take a good look at Mr. Huang? "
Li Rui was shocked and almost bit his tongue. His elder brother was already very miserable, okay? First, he had a serious illness and almost died. Then, he suffered a huge psychological blow — it was not easy to find his first love, but the other party had already passed away. These two mental and physical disasters were added to the body of a frail old man like him. He had to hold on and not be knocked down. He had just recovered, and now, he had lung cancer? God wouldn't be so cruel, right? He stared blankly at the beauty in front of him, but he couldn't say a word.
Xie Peilan was also a little embarrassed. She said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. You've helped us so much, but we … pointed out your brother's hidden illness. We're really sorry."
Li Rui came back to his senses and waved his hand. He said, "Aren't you slapping me in the face by saying that? You and I can't thank you enough for pointing out my brother's hidden illness. Why would we blame you? Why do you feel sorry for us? Speaking of which, are … are you sure? "
Xie Peilan and Xie Duzhong looked at each other. Xie Duzhong said, "Mr. Huang's Qi is hot at the end of his lung meridian. The evil heat rushed out of his meridians. If it's just this, it's not enough to say that he has lung cancer. However, the thumb joint at the end of the lung meridian has been affected by the evil heat and has become sharp and hard. It's easy to distinguish it from the other finger joints. This is the hand symptom of lung cancer."
Xie Peilan nodded and said, "I've treated more than ten patients with lung cancer. Most of the hand symptoms are like this. Of course, I'm not a hundred percent sure now. I still need to do a full body examination on Mr. Huang."
Xie Duzhong said, "It's like this. Brother Li, you better arrange it as soon as possible. Diseases wait for no one."
Previously, when the siblings were facing the scammers on the road in Yong Yang Town, they were still weak and pitiful. However, when facing Mr. Huang, they naturally changed into the role of a good doctor who saved the world. They only thought about the patient wholeheartedly. The change was so great that it was hard to believe that they were the same person.
Li Ruixin felt a little sad. What the siblings said was very reasonable. In addition, Xie Duzhong boasted that he was the top expert in hand diagnosis in the country. What they said basically confirmed that Huang Xinghua had lung cancer. In this era, lung cancer was a type of cancer that was difficult to treat on a global scale. In other words, his brother who he had just become sworn brothers with would not live for long. Thinking about it made his heart ache. However, he also knew that this was not the time to be sad. He composed himself and asked, "I'll thank you for your kindness. It's easy to arrange a checkup for my brother, and it can be done immediately. However, I want to ask first. Why would the joints be affected by the evil heat and change? How can something as hard as the bones be affected by the evil heat? "
Xie Peilan was just about to open her mouth to explain when Xie Duzhong interrupted, "Brother Li, do you know about poliomyelitis? The limbs of children who have this disease are very likely to be stunted. In Western medicine, this is explained by the fact that the blood cannot circulate to the focal point of the disease. Therefore, the nutrients cannot be delivered, and that part of the body will stop developing. It's the same theory in Chinese medicine. Of course, Chinese medicine's theory is different. They say that the Qi and blood are blocked, but the theory is the same. The development and changes of a certain part of the body are not constant. They are affected by the Qi and blood at any time. The evil heat is a type of Qi. For example, people who often stay up late or people with bad liver often have vertical ridges on their fingernails. This is the most realistic and simplest example of bone armor being affected by the Qi and blood. "
Li Rui finally understood. He nodded and said, "I understand. Okay, I'll arrange for you to check up on my brother immediately. But …" Xie Duzhong said, "But what?" Li Rui frowned and said, "But my brother just suffered from a serious illness a while ago and almost died. It's just been a while. If he hears that he has lung cancer, wouldn't he … I'm really worried that he won't be able to accept it." Xie Duzhong sighed and said, "Even if he can't accept it, he has to accept it. There's no other way. We can hide it from him, but can we hide it from him for a while? Can we hide it from him for a year? His lung fever is so serious, I doubt that he can hold on for more than half a year. "Li Rui cried out," Half a year?! "
Xie Peilan raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Duzhong, don't talk nonsense." Xie Duzhong looked at her with grievance and said, "Sister, am I wrong?" Xie Peilan's expression was bitter and said, "Although what you said is the truth, don't be so direct." Xie Duzhong sighed and said, "I'm doing this for Elder Huang's sake."
Li Rui didn't hesitate and said, "Okay, come with me. I'll take you to see my brother." He then turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
The siblings looked at each other and followed him with gloomy expressions.
When they reached the entrance of the VIP building, Li Rui stopped and turned around to look at the siblings and asked, "If … my brother really has lung cancer, can … can it be cured?" Xie Duzhong said, "Lung cancer is an unsolvable problem in the medical field all over the world. Moreover, Elder Huang is already so old. I think he …" When he said this, he suddenly realized something. He glanced at his sister vigilantly and shut his mouth.
Xie Peilan said, "Elder Huang's lung fever is very strong. I can't say how effective western medicine will be. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, using decoctions, Qigong, and moxibustion should be able to prolong his life for a while, but … it can only prolong his life for a while."
Li Rui was angry and puzzled when he heard this. He said, "That can't be right, right? My brother was seriously ill and went through countless western medicine tests, but they didn't find any lung disease. If he really has lung cancer, at least a chest X-ray would show some signs of trauma, right? Could it be that lung cancer is a new disease? But how is that possible? How can a good person get lung cancer in just a few days? "
Xie Duzhong said, "Brother Li, any cancer can be said to be sudden or not. In fact, it's because the disease in the body has accumulated to a critical point. Then, under the influence of some external factor, it broke through the critical point and developed into cancer. Elder Huang's body might have always been fine, but that's just on the surface. No one can see or know about the disease in his body, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Recently, it might have been due to the influence of that serious illness, or it might have been due to radiation during the Western medical examination. The disease completely erupted and became cancer. "
Li Rui felt even worse when he heard this, but he didn't ask any more questions. He brought the siblings into the building.
Li Rui knocked on the door of Room 202 and saw Liang Gen. He waved at him and asked him to come out. After he closed the door, he told him the preliminary diagnosis of the Xie siblings in a low voice.
Liang Gen was dumbfounded when he heard it. Li Rui quickly comforted him. "Brother Gen, don't be sad. It's just a preliminary diagnosis. They haven't done a full body diagnosis yet. Who knows? They might have made a mistake."
Liang Gen's dumbfounded expression wasn't because he was sad. He looked at the Xie siblings doubtfully and said, "The city hospital didn't find lung cancer with all kinds of advanced electronic medical equipment, but Chinese medicine doctors can tell just by touching the hands? Isn't that too ridiculous? "
Xie Duzhong said casually, "Chinese medicine has always been ahead of western medicine when it comes to detecting lung cancer in advance. In many clinical cases, Chinese medicine doctors found out that a patient had lung cancer one or two years in advance and reminded the patient to pay attention to treatment. In the end, the patient went to the hospital and found that there was no problem. Not only did they not accept Chinese medicine treatment, but they also scolded Chinese medicine doctors for cheating them of their money. When their lung cancer symptoms came out one or two years later, they regretted not listening to Chinese medicine doctors earlier. There were many such cases. "
Liang Gen looked at Li Rui when he heard that. Li Rui nodded and said, "Brother Gen, let them give it a try. At least there's no harm in seeing it." Liang Gen hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you go and tell the Old Master."
Li Rui agreed and brought the siblings into the living room. Just when he was about to go to the bedroom to find Huang Xinghua, he saw him coming out of the bathroom. He quickly went up to talk to him.
Huang Xinghua's expression changed slightly when he saw him bringing the siblings over. Li Rui pulled him into the bedroom and told him about the siblings' diagnosis. In the end, he sighed bitterly and said, "Brother, I really didn't want to tell you this because of your current condition. But Duzhong is right. It's better to tell you this in advance. If we keep it from you, it'll hurt you. Please don't blame me, I'm just … "
Huang Xinghua was stunned for a moment with a solemn expression. Suddenly, he laughed and patted his shoulder and said, "Why would I blame you? In life, there are blessings and misfortunes. What's to come will come. What's the use of running away? I've already mentally prepared myself for death. I'm eighty-eight years old this year. To be honest, I've lived enough. Besides … it's good that I'm dead. I can see Su Yun again. " At this point, the smile on his face was still there, but it became very strange. It was a kind of morbid joy that was frightening.
Li Rui saw it and did not know how to comfort him.
