Chapter 870: Treating Lin Daiyu
After Lu Cheng and Lin Daiyu exchanged a few simple greetings and talked for a few more words, Lin Daiyu got up and went back to the back house.
Lin Ruhai sighed, "My daughter is born with congenital deficiencies and has been weak and sickly since childhood. In addition, her mother just passed away not long ago. Now her old illness has relapsed. It is not suitable for her to move around too much. In the future...if the master is not around, please take care of her more."
Lu Cheng immediately nodded and agreed: "Teacher is in his prime, he will surely live a long life."
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "I am already over 40 years old, and my health is getting worse. It is hard to say what will happen in the future."
"Teacher, I think Junior Sister Daiyu's situation is somewhat similar to mine when I was young. If you allow me, I can teach Junior Sister the body-strengthening method, which may help her improve her physique."
"Your method of strengthening the body was taught by a hermit master. Can you easily teach it to others without the master's permission?"
"Teacher, don't worry. I asked about this before. The master once said that this method was created to help others make up for their innate deficiencies. If it can be spread and help others, it will also be a meritorious deed. Why not do it?"
Lin Ruhai was delighted when he heard this: "If that's the case, I'll talk to Yu'er later."
"In fact, you can also practice this set of boxing and kicking. It can strengthen your body and prolong your life."
The next morning, Lin Daiyu had breakfast and took some ginseng nourishing pills. After she felt better, she went to the front hall to meet Lu Cheng.
In this era, the etiquette was strict and the separation of men and women was very important. When boys and girls reached the age of seven, they had to sit at different tables, not eat together, and not touch each other.
Men who are not related by blood are strictly prohibited from entering the area where women live, which is inside the second gate.
Even if a male relative wants to enter the inner house, he needs to inform in advance so that some female relatives can avoid it.
Lu Cheng lived in the Lin Mansion and always stayed in the guest room in the outer courtyard.
"Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you to give me some advice. But my health has been bad since I was young. My father has hired many famous doctors for me, but I still can't get better. If... if your method doesn't work, please don't worry about it and don't waste too much of your time."
"Junior sister, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The world is so big, there are so many talented people. Congenital deficiencies are not incurable. My situation when I was young was not much different from that of Junior sister. Now I am like a normal person, even stronger than a normal person.
Junior sister, you don’t need to think too much. Be open-minded and less worried. You will feel less depressed. It will also be beneficial to your body. I will first teach you how to stand in a posture…”
As early as when he first met Lin Daiyu yesterday, Lu Cheng carefully observed her situation and even used his identification skills.
Through observation, it is believed that Lin Daiyu suffered some damage in her mother's womb, which damaged her innate vitality and led to congenital deficiency. After she was born, she started taking medicine from the time she could eat.
Medicines are poisonous to some extent. The medicines prescribed by general doctors can only alleviate the condition to a certain extent, but cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Instead, a lot of drug poisons have accumulated in Lin Daiyu's body.
Afterwards, a strange man prescribed ginseng nourishing pills for Lin Daiyu to regulate her body, which made her health improve a lot.
But judging from the current situation, Lin Daiyu's body is like a wooden barrel with a hole in the bottom, the vitality in her body will continue to drain away, and the barrel wall will become thinner and thinner.
And the Ginseng Nourishing Pills could not plug the hole, it just continued to replenish the vital energy and maintain Lin Daiyu's health so that it would not deteriorate.
If Lin Daiyu could live a peaceful life, she might be able to live a few more years. But if she often experienced extreme sadness or joy, it would aggravate her illness and greatly shorten her life.
Now, Lin Daiyu's old illness relapsed, and her physical condition was too poor. It was not suitable for her to use strong medicine, nor was it suitable for her to practice normal standing meditation directly. Instead, she had to consolidate her foundation first, and strengthen her body little by little through internal training.
This is equivalent to first strengthening the walls of the wooden barrel little by little, then plugging the gap, and finally transforming the wooden barrel into an iron barrel through Yi Jin Xi Sui.
This process cannot be completed overnight and requires sufficient time to adjust.
Therefore, Lu Cheng simplified the standing meditation he created specifically for Lin Daiyu's situation, and began to teach Lin Daiyu, starting from the most basic things.
"This standing posture can strengthen the body and consolidate the foundation. But my junior sister's situation is rather special, so we can't rush it. We need to do it step by step. Stand in this posture first, adjust your breathing, and calm your mind..."
Lin Daiyu is very intelligent and learns things very quickly, but her body cannot keep up, just like the hardware limits the performance of the software.
While Lu Cheng was explaining, he asked the maid to support Lin Daiyu to prevent her from falling.
After practicing for half a minute, Lin Daiyu was already covered in sweat and looked a little tired.
Lu Cheng stopped immediately, and asked the maid to support her as she prepared to go back and rest.
"Junior sister, can you show me the ginseng nourishing pills you took?"
Lin Daiyu nodded in agreement: "I'll ask Xueyan to bring some to you later. How much do you need?"
"One is enough."
It was said in the original novel that the ginseng nourishing pills that Lin Daiyu took were prescribed by the bald monk.
The bald monk and the lame Taoist priest are two hermit masters who appear throughout the book, and they are first-class immortal figures.
Lu Cheng also wanted to use this ginseng nourishing pill to see what kind of magic the bald monk had. Was he the legendary immortal cultivator or some strange person with some skills?
Anyway, Lin Daiyu is just a little girl with a weak constitution and there is nothing magical about her. The system's identification skills have not been able to identify her hidden identity such as the "Jiangzhu Immortal Grass".
Not long after, Xueyan, the little maidservant beside Lin Daiyu, brought her a ginseng nourishing pill.
Lu Cheng took the pill, observed it carefully, scraped off some crumbs with a knife, tasted it, and identified it with his identification skills.
In the end, Lu Cheng was sure that this was just an ordinary elixir for strengthening the body. The level of the person who prepared the medicine was indeed higher than that of most doctors, but it was still far behind Lu Cheng.
After that, Lu Cheng didn't care about these things anymore. He studied and practiced martial arts peacefully, and taught Lin Daiyu the standing meditation.
Before this, Lin Daiyu had been kept in seclusion, rarely seeing outsiders, and with the grief of losing her parents, she was inevitably depressed. Moreover, she usually preferred to be quiet and not active, which made her condition more severe.
Since she started practicing Zhuang Qi, Lin Daiyu has been more active every day. Lu Cheng also talks to her every day, tells her stories about the outside world, and does some simple psychological counseling. Lin Daiyu's body has been exercised, and the depression in her heart has been relieved. Her overall condition has improved greatly.
Lin Ruhai saw all of this and thought that the method taught by Lu Cheng was effective. He attached more importance to this set of body-strengthening methods and began to practice with Lu Cheng regularly. His physical condition also improved to a certain extent.
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai naturally became more grateful to his disciple Lu Cheng, and taught Lu Cheng more attentively, training him just like his own son.
Lin Daiyu's condition improved, and Lin Ruhai was naturally happy. The servants in the Lin Mansion were also happy, and the atmosphere in the whole house became more lively, forming a positive cycle.
In fact, changes in a person’s physical condition are also inseparable from the influence of the surrounding environment.
If you are surrounded by positive energy and suppress some negative energy, it can also have a positive impact on people.
