Chapter 21 Bolling's Observations (recommended plus more)

This wonton shop is not big, but everyone who comes in to eat wontons is in a hurry, dressed in different ages.It can be seen that most of these are people who are running around, and they don't have time to go home for dinner when they are busy. It is rare to find a spare time to eat a bowl of wontons.

In front of the store is a large pot filled with boiling water. The owner is standing there holding an iron colander the size of a washbasin. If someone comes in and asks for a bowl of wontons, he will open the side cover with a yell from the waiter. Raw wontons wrapped in white gauze, holding an iron colander, scooping them up like that, no more, no less, exactly twelve at a time.

The wontons have to be rolled three times in the water pot. The boss has set up a large bowl next to the pot. There are various seasonings in it, chopped green onion, seaweed and shrimp skin.

This hot bowl of wontons has comforted many folks in Chaotian Street.

When the two sat down, Bai Yi felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Although Bai Ling kept saying that she was hungry and didn't want to wait, Bai Yi still felt that Bai Ling might not be really hungry at this moment.

It's just that after coming here, living in poverty for too long, it has long been a habit to spend every penny in half. The siblings both tacitly know that one will give the steps, and the other will go down the slope.

This tacit understanding made Bai Yi very unhappy.

When the wontons were on the table, Bai Yi didn't say a word, just poured them into his mouth one by one
"Careful it's hot—"

"Huh—"

Before Bai Ling finished speaking, Bai Yi had already spit out the wontons he had just eaten back into the bowl.Before he took a bite of this wonton, he had already been scalded to tears and made a hissing sound of exhaling.

Bo Ling propped his chin with both hands, and stared at Bai Yi's distressed appearance with a smile.

Bai Yi glared at her, "You're still laughing, do you have any conscience?"

Bo Ling's eyes were begging for mercy, "Let's go eat Huamei Xiaopai together next time."

"Next time... when is the next time? Tell me clearly."

Bo Ling thought about it seriously, "When the family's money turnover comes over."

"That's over." Bai Yi made a dumbfounding grimace, "A person like Dad won't give up until he empties his family."

Bo Ling supported his face with one hand, and gently stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon in the other, and was amused by Bai Yi to laugh out loud.

At this moment, Bai Yi remembered that Bai Shijun agreed to Qin Kang's disclosure of the prescription in the afternoon, and his face sank again, "By the way, the envoy of the Qin Academy and Dad came to ask you about the prescription this afternoon, and I want you to find time to give it to you." He talked about the truth inside, so you should think about what to do."

"Okay," Bai Ling replied without thinking, "I can do it, but if you go to the Tai Hospital to tell Fang, maybe you have to wait until your mother really improves, otherwise they won't believe it even if you tell me." .”

Bai Yi was a little surprised, "You can do it?"

"Yeah." Bo Ling nodded, "If this thing can spread from the Tai Hospital, it might help more people with insomnia, wouldn't that be great."

Bai Yi couldn't help but lowered his head and smiled, "I said in the morning that Bai Shijun and I are a father and son, but I think you and him are a father and daughter... What kind of prescription did you write? It's so generous. Look You can’t just reveal your skills, so don’t I need to teach you this truth?”

Bai Ling laughed when he heard the first half of the sentence, but after seeing that Bai Yi was really worried, he calmed down and replied seriously, "That's not a housekeeping skill, haha, they didn't touch each other. What I wrote was ordinary righteous thoughts. Some common instructions that will be used in therapy are specially used to relieve the empress' anxiety before going to bed."

The movement of Bai Yi's hands stopped, "How is the situation on the side of the empress, do you have a bottom line now?"

"Yeah." Bo Ling nodded, "A little bit."

"tell me the story?"

Bai Ling couldn't help but glanced at Bai Yi, "It's rare to see you care so much about medical affairs."

"Isn't this forced to come up, there is no way."

Bo Ling hummed, then simply lifted up the stool and sat next to Bai Yi.

She dipped her chopsticks into the soup and made gestures on the table as a blackboard, "I chatted with her in the morning, and I think it's almost like this..."

"First of all, the lady has a clear consciousness and complete orientation. She speaks fluently, and the illness has not caused hallucinations or delusions, which shows that she has obvious self-awareness;

"Secondly, she has a melancholy expression, complains of depression, and often feels tired and heavy. During this period of time, her brain has slow memory and poor memory, and she has obvious sleep anxiety. These are typical symptoms of depression;

"Thirdly, she had the idea of ​​committing suicide and carried it out many times, but the maid Baoyuan said that she has never resisted the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the imperial hospital, and has always been very cooperative in taking it."

Bai Yi nodded and looked at Bai Ling, "So...?"

Bo Ling supported his chin with one hand, and drew a circle on the table with the other, "This kind of situation is usually a moderate to severe patient, and it seems that her will to survive is not weak. Repeated suicide is probably the torture of depression. It's painful."

Bai Yi muttered uncertainly, "Moderate to severe, the kind that already needs to take medicine?"

"Yes." Bo Ling affirmed, "But now we definitely can't get fluoxetine and venlafaxine, so there is no other way out, we can only go to simple psychotherapy."

"En." Bai Yi stared at the circle drawn by Bai Ling on the table, and nodded vigorously.

"The matter will be much clearer." Bo Ling put down the chopsticks and stretched his neck. "Where is the problem at the root? We have no way to investigate it yet, but at least we can use some technical means first. To help her relieve her anxiety before going to bed. Mindfulness therapy is very suitable. It has a simple form. It usually uses some simple guiding words to guide the client to have a clear awareness of the thoughts existing in the current mind, so as to avoid being anxious. Emotional catch.

Bo Ling continued, "I wrote the instructions, and I also told Baoyuan and Niangniang about the operation method and details. If there is no accident, her sleeping condition should improve within a week or two."

Bai Yi nodded, "Is the mindfulness you mentioned the same as hypnosis?"

"No, two different things, closer to meditation."

Bai Yi sighed, "It's too abstract...the next time you go to give an explanation to the envoy of Qin Yuan, take me with you."

Bo Ling tilted his head, his face became more puzzled, "Huh? Didn't you say that you will never touch medicine in the future?"

"I'm curious, can't I?"

Seeing that Bai Yi didn't want to talk about it, Bo Ling stopped asking.She moved the soup bowl to her eyes again. The bowl of wontons soaked in hot soup was almost at the right temperature at this time, and Bo Ling bowed his head and began to eat.

Bai Yi watched Bai Ling chewing slowly, and suddenly said, "I wish I could meet you sooner."

There was no end to this exclamation, and Bai Ling raised his eyes calmly, "Huh? Did you also suffer from depression in your last life?"

Bai Yi smiled and shook his head vigorously.
