According to my predictions, this guy, Liu Ergou, would definitely start a fight with that little girl, Zhang Man. But that hasn't happened. And the relationship between the two of them... it seems a bit strange.
However, Gongsun Feng didn't say anything.
Meanwhile, Liu Ergou began to take the old man's pulse again. This time, he was especially meticulous. Furthermore, he didn't just take the pulse; he utilized all the other traditional diagnostic methods—inspection, listening and smelling, and palpation. He didn't use questioning, because the old man couldn't speak. Asking would have been pointless.
After an incredibly thorough examination, Liu Ergou finally pinpointed the old man's problem. The problem was simple: he was just too old, and his bodily functions were in a state of comprehensive decline. This, combined with several bedsores on his back, had exacerbated his condition and led to his current state.
