patient

Liu Tang was woken up by Niuniu.

Niuniu lay on his bed and lifted his quilt, and said with a smile, "Uncle is up! The sun is going to dry his ass!"

Before the quilt was lifted until the underpants were exposed, Liu Tang pressed the quilt, got up, and smiled at Niuniu, "Go out for a while."

Niuniu lay on the side of the bed and looked up at Liu Tang, looking at him puzzled. Liu Tang only felt a headache, so he had to call his mother to take him out.

After washing up and going out, Niu Niu was already sitting on the sofa with her mother having breakfast, Liu Tang came over and asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Your dad has class in the morning," Chen Meimei said.

"Oh," Liu Tang nodded and patted Niu Niu's head, "Can uncle take you to the playground?"

Niu Niu's eyes lit up, and before she could speak, Chen Meimei said, "Niu Niu has to go to class this afternoon!"

Liu Tang was taken aback: "Isn't today Saturday?"

"Your sister enrolled her in the training class for piano learners, and she has to learn Go tomorrow morning, and go to cram school tomorrow afternoon," Chen Meimei said, her schedule was fuller than that of ordinary adults.

"Niu Niu is still young, so there is no need to learn so much!" Liu Tang frowned. He has been calling for reducing the burden these years, but now the children are carrying heavier backpacks.

"What do you know! Children nowadays have taken several courses of training, dancing and drawing, much better than you at that time, wait for you..." Chen Meimei stopped talking, turned her head and eyes slightly Turned red, but stopped talking, just asked him, "Are you going out today?"

"Well, I have an appointment with a friend," Liu Tang smiled.

Niu Niu looked at Liu Tang pitifully: "Uncle, I want to go out too!"

"Okay! Niu Niu will go with me!" Liu Tang said, pinching Niu Niu's cheek.

"That's okay, Niuniu has to go to class in the afternoon!" Ms. Chen Meimei said with a straight face.

"It's okay. It won't be long. I'll take her schoolbag with me later. If it's too late, I'll send her there," Liu Tang said.

"Do you know the address?"

"Give me a copy of the address, and I'll go there with electronic navigation." Liu Tang drank the remaining porridge in one gulp, and asked Niu Niu, "Have you finished eating?"

"Eat it!" Niu Niu said crisply.

"Okay! Take her out for a stroll." Chen Meimei took out a pen and paper, wrote down the address to Liu Tang, thought for a while and asked him, "Are you going to Dr. Zhou's place this afternoon?"

Liu Tang paused, smiled and said, "I will go there."

Chen Meimei sent the two of them out.

Niu Niu was still bouncing around, she always had unlimited energy, Liu Tang walked behind her, looked down at her, and talked to her from time to time.

After getting in the car, Liu Tang called Xiao Jingshan, asked for the location, and drove there.

The address is a clothing store outside Jiangda University. The location is quite large, with two rooms covering a total of more than 80 square meters.I bought women's clothing before, and the signboard has not been released, but the shutters are half closed, and the business has ceased.

Liu Tang called Xiao Jingshan again, and after a while a young man came out from inside and laughed when he saw Liu Tang: "Brother Liu, you are here!"

Behind him came another woman, in her 40s, dressed in fashionable clothes, and also greeted Liu Tang with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Liu, my name is Chen."

"Hi," Liu Tang greeted with a smile, and said to Niu Niu, "My uncle and aunt."

Niu Niu smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie!"

"Hello kid!" Ms. Chen said with a smile, stroking Niu Niu's head.

The stuff in the clothing store has been cleared out, leaving only the hard-to-handle things like the shelves.

The layout of this facade is actually pretty good. Two rooms are side by side. One room is facing the road with a door, and the other room has floor-to-ceiling windows. The place is quite spacious.

Liu Tang turned around and felt quite satisfied, so we all went to a coffee shop not far away.

Ms. Chen is the owner of that facade. She opened the previous clothing store, but she decided to go abroad and settle down. Jiangcheng does not have any immediate family members. If she rents it out, no one will help her manage it. sell.

It's just that although the housing prices here are not as good as those next to the pedestrian street, but because the housing prices are also high near Jiangda University, this has wiped out many people who want to open shops in the surrounding area but lack funds.

Xiao Jingshan is her neighbor, and both her parents and Ms. Chen knew each other. He knew that Liu Tang was looking for a new face recently, so he set up a match for them, which led to today's scene.

Liu Tang was very satisfied with the environment here, and the price offered by Ms. Chen was quite reasonable, but it still exceeded Liu Tang's budget, which made him have to consider it.

Ms. Chen's attitude is also very good, and she promised to give her three days to think about it. She and her husband are expected to go abroad in mid-April, and it is not too late.

They didn't talk for a long time. After drinking coffee, it was not time for dinner, so they didn't eat together.

Xiao Jingshan and Liu Tang went out together, they walked to the parking spot, Xiao Jingshan asked about Liu Tang's body.He is Liu Tang's colleague in the firm, and Liu Tang took him when he first joined the firm, and he has a kind of mentor-student friendship.

It's just that Liu Tang didn't want to say more, he just smiled: "It's okay!"

He has been sick a lot in the past two years. In the past, although he was silent and didn't smile much, he gave people a positive impression.Today, he has a smile on his face all the time, but his eyes are silent, as if his whole body is sealed, no one else can open that door, and he himself is unwilling to come out.

Therefore, Xiao Jingshan could only pat him on the shoulder and said, "Call me if you have anything to do, and keep in touch!"

Liu Tang still nodded with a smile, but his words always lacked the intimacy before.

It was still early before Niu Niu started class, so Liu Tang wanted to take her to play, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any place suitable for children to play, so he had to take Niu Niu to the shopping mall.

There was a real ice skating rink on the top floor of the shopping mall, which was guided by a teacher, so Liu Tang took Niuniu up there.

It was quite cold inside, but fortunately they were already wearing thick clothes, which was fine.There are not many people in the skating rink, and there are a few teachers who don't look very old.

Niu Niu was taught by a young girl. The other party originally planned to persuade Liu Tang to let him go, but Liu Tang refused and stood aside to watch.

Niu Niu was very curious about new things, but she was a little scared. The teacher led her around the field, but she kept turning her head to look at Liu Tang.

But she quickly got the hang of it, felt the fun, and soon had a blast.Seeing that Liu Tang wanted to take her away when the time came, she was still a little bit reluctant, so Liu Tang had no choice but to promise her to take her here next time.

I ate at the restaurant downstairs at noon, Southeast Asian cuisine, one of which was sweet, and Niuniu liked it very much.

Dr. Zhou's clinic is on the other side of Wuchang District, quite far away.He is an old Chinese medicine doctor who retired from the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine. After retiring, he did not accept the re-employment of the hospital, but opened the current clinic.

His medical skills are very good, and he is well-known in the country. Liu Tang also went to him after hearing someone's introduction.

It was also in the past two months, and he went to treatment two or three times a week, but it might be due to psychological reasons, he always felt that there was not much improvement.

When Liu Tang passed by, there were already several people in the clinic, and they were all sitting together talking. After greeting Dr. Zhou, Liu Tang sat aside and watched.

In recent years, the rate of young people with lumbar and cervical spine problems has continued to rise. In addition to Liu Tang, there are four patients in the clinic, two of whom are over 50 years old, and the other two are as young as Liu Tang.

Among them was a girl who seemed to be in her early twenties from what they said, but she already had several problems with her spine. She just fell ill a while ago, but now she can stand up, but her walking steps are very slow. She is more ill than Liu Tang. serious.

But illness is never something that I can find a reason to comfort myself when I see you in more misery. When I encounter a more serious patient, I still feel more of the fear of rabbit death and fox sorrow.

Of course Liu Tang was terrified, but he could only hide his fear in his heart and could not tell anyone.

During the waiting time, Liu Tang responded to several emails with his mobile phone.

The clinic is divided into two parts, separated by a curtain in the middle, and there are two beds inside, for acupuncture and moxibustion, and outside for massage.

When it was time for Liu Tang, he consciously lay down on the bed, took off his shirt, untied his belt, and pulled his trousers above his buttocks.

Dr. Zhou took out a disposable needle and asked him about his recent situation while giving him the needle.

With his face resting on his arm, Liu Tang said softly, "It still hurts, walking hurts, sitting hurts, lying still hurts, especially at night, sometimes I feel like I can't go on..."

His voice gradually lowered, and his arms were wet with tears. Doctor Zhou's voice was very gentle. After hearing so many complaints from him, he was not angry, but just relieved him in a gentle voice.

It's just that there is a limit to what he can do to relieve Liu Tang. Now Liu Tang has entered a dead end, and no one can save him.

The ignited moxibustion was not far or close to his skin, and the scorching temperature lay on the skin where the needles were pricked.The smoke from the burning moxibustion curled up and then drifted into the air.

In the middle, Liu Tang fell asleep, but was awakened by a cry of surprise.

He turned his head and saw a young girl standing behind the curtain, staring at him with wide eyes.

"..." Liu Tang was stunned for a moment, and asked under his throat, "Can you go out, please?"

"Oh!" The other party blushed, nodded and went out.

Doctor Zhou laughed and put away the moxibustion.

Liu Tang looked at Dr. Zhou sadly, but couldn't say anything.This is actually not the first time, there are both male and female patients here, and it is inevitable that female patients will come in, but he still can't get used to it.

Dr. Zhou pulled out all the needles, looked at his clothes, frowned and said, "Don't always think about demeanor, you still have to keep warm when you wear clothes. Your illness is also related to not wearing enough clothes."

After putting on thermal underwear, Liu Tang put on a sweater and a woolen overcoat, thinking: Do you want to develop like a bear?

But he still nodded and said, "Okay, I will pay attention next time, thank you Dr. Zhou!"
