Yunyi had no idea when the matters in Songling Village came to an end; at any rate, when she prepared to go to work the next day, Huo Jingrui hadn’t come over yet.
She wondered if there was something happening that she wasn’t aware of.
Not long after she arrived at the clinic, a middle-aged woman who couldn’t walk because of foot pain came in: "Where does it hurt?"
The woman pointed to both her feet: "Foot pain, feels like needles stabbing, can’t walk."
Yunyi looked at her feet: "Take off your shoes, let me have a look." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The woman felt a bit embarrassed; her feet hadn’t been washed for two days; she looked troubled, fearing the smell would bother the doctor: "Doctor, I..."
Yunyi saw her embarrassment: "It’s okay."
The woman’s son squatted down: "Mom, it’s okay, I’ll help you take off your shoes. You need the doctor to check it out; it’s almost New Year, we can’t let it stay like this."
Once the shoes were off, the patched socks underneath were revealed. The woman was a bit afraid to look at Yunyi, keeping her head down.
Yunyi stepped forward: "Take off the socks too, I need to see what’s going on."
After the socks were removed, Yunyi saw that the woman’s foot joints were red and swollen. Though suspicious, she still asked: "Is this gout? It hasn’t been happening for just a short while, has it?"
The woman gently nodded: "Indeed, it’s been quite some time."
The woman’s son looked on with concern: "Doctor, can it be treated?"
