Chapter 374 - 132: Consultation_3
Guan Jingshuo suddenly grabbed Doctor Li’s hand, "You, can you really cure me?" Nobody wants to die, especially at the tender age of eleven when life has barely begun; how could he bear to let go.
Doctor Li nodded, "The key with your condition is early detection. If discovered early, it’s very easy to adjust in time," he paused before adding, "Of course, this is under the condition that you cooperate. As long as you cooperate, I can naturally cure you. If you don’t cooperate, then no amount of talking will be useful."
Guan Jingshuo nodded repeatedly, "I will cooperate, definitely cooperate."
When Guan Jingshuo received Doctor Li’s regular prescription list, he was stunned. It wasn’t a list of medicines but a menu, although all the listed foods came with specific dosages.
Doctor Li put down his writing brush, "Follow my recipe, and come back in a month for me to see you; we’ll make adjustments then. However, remember you must never consume ginseng and bird’s nest carelessly, and all those other miscellaneous things are even worse to eat." He paused before saying, "For drinking, remember to drink black tea mixed with milk." Black tea with milk promotes digestion and also nourishes the stomach. Doctor Li made this recommendation precisely because he saw that Guan Jingshuo had a weak digestive system.
Guan Jingshuo asked in bewilderment, "Just these?" Could eating these coarse grains really cure his frailty? It seemed too miraculous.
Doctor Li threw out a booklet, "Just a menu won’t do, and you can’t lie in bed all day either. Seeing how sincere you are, I’ll give you one more thing. You must eat the foods listed in the recipe for every meal, and practice according to this booklet every day. If you persist for a year, your body will recover."
Guan Jingshuo looked at the booklet whose cover was half missing and tattered on the outside while clean and tidy on the inside. For some reason he couldn’t explain, he felt compelled to flip through this atlas, "Is this a martial arts secret manual?" Eating coarse foods and practicing martial arts every day seemed like a strange way to treat an illness.
