I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 112 - 90: Expelled by the Five Viscera!

Tang Yi walked into the clinic and finally saw Lu Jiu in person.

Just like in the videos, nothing particularly special, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"What’s your surname?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Tang, Tang Yi." Tang Yi replied.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Lu Jiu asked.

"I can’t quite say, just feel a bit tired lately." Tang Yi said.

He didn’t have any particular ailment, but his sleep was indeed not very good, a problem he was well aware of.

"Then let me take your pulse first." Lu Jiu said.

Tang Yi immediately extended his hand, curious to see how Lu Jiu would diagnose him.

Three minutes later, Lu Jiu suddenly let go, "Open your mouth, let me see your tongue coating."

Tang Yi opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue with an "ah".

After a few glances, Lu Jiu asked curiously, "Are you sure it’s just a bit of fatigue?"

Tang Yi asked, "What’s up?"

Lu Jiu said, "Why do I see your pulse and tongue looking quite normal, no issues at all?"

Tang Yi said, "Maybe I got the feeling wrong."

Lu Jiu said, "I don’t think it’s a wrong feeling, you weren’t here for a consultation in the first place."

Tang Yi was taken aback but kept his composure, "Why wouldn’t I be here for a consultation?"

Lu Jiu laughed, "That’s something only you know. My memory might not be great, but I can remember a few faces. Number 27 wasn’t you at all. That person swapped the number twice. I think it must be Huang Niu."

"If you were sick, I could understand buying a ticket from him. But you don’t have any illness and still spend money on this, what, got too much money to spend?"

Seeing this, Tang Yi didn’t plan to beat around the bush anymore. He laughed, "Hehe, I just wanted to see how capable you are, and maybe exchange some knowledge."

Lu Jiu looked him over, "You’re a traditional Chinese medicine doctor too?"

Tang Yi nodded, "Graduated from Shangjing University of Chinese Medicine, currently working at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."

Lu Jiu laughed, "Nice to meet you, but as you can see, I have many patients here, and I can’t exchange knowledge right now." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Tang Yi said, "Then can I sit by and watch?"

Lu Jiu smiled, "As long as it doesn’t interfere with my practice, be my guest."

"Oh, by the way, you should have come a couple of days later. The facial recognition system I ordered online is about to arrive, and it will be electronic calling from then on. Huang Niu won’t have much room to operate anymore."

Lu Jiu wasn’t blind; he might not have noticed at first, but several times the person who called the number changed faces midway. Did they really think he was face-blind?

However, Lu Jiu also understood that relying solely on verbal resistance wouldn’t work in this kind of commercial behavior; only technology could solve it.

Of course, Huang Niu could still pretend to be a relative, but once or twice is fine. Too many times, and they’d be exposed.

So, once that electronic device arrives, all the scalpers will be wiped out!

"Dr. Lu, aren’t you afraid they might disrupt your consultation?" Tang Yi asked.

These days, many commercial activities have scalpers, and even many official organizations are colluding with them.

Lu Jiu’s profitability doesn’t seem high, but it isn’t small either. Plus, this money comes from the patients waiting in line, not related to him, adding costs for himself while offending scalpers seems like a thankless task.

"Hehe, unless their whole life and their relatives and friends never get sick, they can give it a try." Lu Jiu laughed.

Wow!

That’s confident!

But can’t they just go to the hospital?

Tang Yi stepped aside, making way, and stood about a meter behind Lu Jiu, ready to observe how Lu Jiu conducted his consultations.

"Next, number 28."

As Lu Jiu called out, a middle-aged man in his forties immediately sat in front of Lu Jiu.

"How should I address you?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Rong Jisheng." Rong Jisheng replied.

"What’s bothering you?" Lu Jiu asked.

"After a flu, for a long time I’ve been eating a lot, every meal is twice what I used to eat before. I feel good myself, eating less makes me feel hungry instead, but my family thinks it’s too abnormal, so they asked me to come and check it out, afraid that I might have some after-effects." Rong Jisheng said.

Lu Jiu pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then continued to ask, "How long has it been?"

"Almost over a month, I guess." Rong Jisheng said.

Could it be a heart issue?

Generally, after illness, a sudden increased appetite, and lasting for a long time, could very likely be a sign of serious heart damage, as the body is desperately trying to save itself.

"If you eat less, would you feel uneasy and anxious?" Lu Jiu asked.

Rong Jisheng was particularly surprised, "Huh? Dr. Lu, how did you know that?"

"Don’t worry about that, during the flu, what medication did you take?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Oh, it’s that Os... something, uh, I remember, but I suddenly forgot when you asked, after taking it the flu was almost gone in a few days, then I kept taking it, and stopped once I felt better." Rong Jisheng said.

"So, was it soon after stopping the medication that your appetite increased?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Seems like it, is it related to the medication I took?" Rong Jisheng asked.

"Can’t rule it out, let me take your pulse first." Lu Jiu said.

Rong Jisheng extended his hand, and Lu Jiu’s fingertips stuck to it, and the next moment, the voices of the Five Viscera appeared.

"Liver Wood, put more strength. Heart Fire needs more supplementation. I made him eat a lot in the morning, but full digestion takes time. I’m running at full capacity for metabolism, hurry up and send Qi and Blood to Heart Fire." Spleen Earth said.

"Got it, but I can’t go too fast, or else Qi might run amok, possibly assisting evil fire, then Heart Fire will be in trouble." Liver Wood replied.

"Hmm, but it’d be better if the fire of the small intestine and Hydronephrosis were strong. They were previously injured, making my metabolism not work well. Now it’s like an overdraft trying to process, but everything revolves around saving Heart Fire, the rest we don’t care!" Spleen Earth stated.

"Sigh, dipping into my little essence vault again, Fei Jin always releases just a tiny bit of fire, my vault can’t be filled, always taking out, when will these days end..." Hydronephrosis said miserably.

"Once Heart Fire recovers, everything owed to you will be returned." Fei Jin said.

"Yeah, yeah, Hydronephrosis, get to work, if the Heart Fire’s gone, your little vault won’t matter anymore, and we’ll be like Heart Fire, not surviving at all." Spleen Earth added.

"Okay." Hydronephrosis reluctantly got to work.

Why is Heart Fire silent?

Lu Jiu noticed that among the Five Viscera, only Heart Fire wasn’t speaking, which was odd.

Among the Five Viscera, Heart Fire, as the big brother, is omnipresent.

Everyone else can rest, except it cannot rest.

If it lies down, then the person would be dead.

"Heart Fire, are you there?" Lu Jiu attempted to communicate with Heart Fire.

"Who?" Hydronephrosis asked.

"Who’s talking?" Spleen Earth inquired.

"Pathogenic factor?" Fei Jin wondered.

"What do you want?" Liver Wood asked.

Lu Jiu answered, "I want to know what problem you’re having. I’m a doctor, I can help solve your trouble."

Doctor?

The Five Viscera were not unfamiliar with these two words, they often gathered to discuss them.

"No need, it was you doctors who injured Heart Fire first, now you’re pretending to be good? Get out! Leave now!!" Liver Wood said angrily.

"Yeah, the medicine you prescribed came in stealing from my little essence vault, do you really think we’ve forgotten?" Hydronephrosis stated.

"If you don’t leave, we’ll beat you!" Spleen Earth declared.

This...

Am I actually being driven away by the Five Viscera?
