Chapter 11 Self-healing without medicine
Sometimes people cannot even notice when they are sick. Only when they feel discomfort will they think of going to see a doctor.
I am a doctor myself, although I have not yet achieved the qualification to practice medicine independently. After returning to my residence, I felt that the room I rented was indeed a little cold, so I got into the bed early to read.
This "Compendium of Materia Medica" and acupuncture guidance are very resistant to reading. In a trance, I felt like I entered a medicinal material warehouse and saw that I was holding the prescription prescribed by Professor Zheng in my hand, so I took the medicine according to the prescription, then put it in a casserole and boiled it around a small charcoal stove, breathing the rich aroma of Chinese medicine. My body immediately felt much warmer. After the medicine was decocted, I took it slowly.
When I woke up, I felt much more awake. When I opened my eyes, the light was still on, but there was one more person by the bed. I was so scared that I sat up and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"
The man was wearing a black leather jacket, a leather hat and a leather mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.
"You have woken up and the black air on your body has faded. How did you do it?" The man asked me a series of questions in Mandarin.
I put on a cotton coat and looked around from the corner of my eyes. It's a good thing, is this the house I rented?
"How did you come in, what are you going to do?"
Hei Leather stood up, put down the two books I read before going to bed, and explained: "The hidden lock on your door can't help but trouble me!"
There was another person in the room, the little horse wearing a leather jacket, who introduced to me: "Doctor Yuan, don't panic. This is the master I invited from Huaguo Mountain in Yiyang, and I came to find you specifically!"
For these two uninvited guests, I immediately became alert and quickly put on my clothes and got out of bed.
This "master" signaled me not to be nervous. He ordered Xiaoma to bring me a cup of hot water and hand it to me, introducing himself: "I am a Sanren living in Tianya in Huaguo Mountain. They all call me Taoist Master Tanyou. Laoma had a car accident not by chance, but inevitable. His calamity has arrived, but you have saved it, and his calamity has also been transferred to you. It is said that you cannot live past today, but strangely, you were still in a state of hostility yesterday, and when you wake up, all your anger disappeared. What is going on?"
Of course I don’t know what the situation is? But I am still on guard against these two people.
"You medical practitioners may not believe in ghosts, nor do you believe in unjust souls seeking life. If you want to help Lao Ma escape this disaster completely, you will be the one!" Black leather clothes made a slow statement.
I put on my shoes and admitted: "My grandma is seriously ill and can't even take a leave, let alone help Lao Ma escape the disaster. If he is really in trouble, please ask him to come to the hospital to find me, but I may not be able to help him!"
Xiao Ma looked at the black leather jacket and showed a pleading look.
Tianya Sanren stood up and said to me, "Think about it again. As the saying goes, sending Buddha to the West, helping people to the end. Saving a life is better than creating a seven-level floating map. You are a doctor!"
They both turned around and left, and I responded angrily: "I am a doctor, not a Taoist priest, and I will not exorcise ghosts and ask gods!"
It seems that the hidden locks in this room cannot stop the masters, but what can I do? The rent of 200 yuan per month is already the cheapest house in the city.
After lunch, I continued to go to the hospital to work. Since the beginning of winter, there have been more patients with gas poisoning, but they were all sent to the respiratory department for hospitalization. When Xiao Tang saw me, he said, "Your black eye socket has faded, and Professor Zheng's medicine has come true."
"Senior brother, your medicine!" Huang Fei suddenly arrived, handed over a pack of Chinese medicine, and complained: "This medicine is really not cheap, so I will catch a pair for you first, and when it works, I will go to Professor Zheng for a follow-up visit."
Xiao Tang was a little confused.
I took the medicine bag and thanked my senior sister, but Huang Fei signaled to me: "Senior brother, come out, I have something to ask you!"
Xiao Tang became even more confused.
Outside the emergency department, the senior sister whispered: "Tell me honestly, do you have bad habits?"
"Bad habits?" I asked.
The senior sister lowered her voice again, "Did you commit suicide?"
I immediately denied it, Huang Fei admitted: "Professor Zheng said that you are physically weak and external evils take the opportunity to invade. You are still young. Never do that kind of stupid thing. Just seek temporary happiness. What you ruin will be your lifelong happiness."
I was a little unhappy, and my senior sister reminded me: "Study hard, practice more, and take care of your health, so that I can be happy and fulfilled. If there are any difficulties, just tell me, I will do my best to help you!"
This sounds a bit strange, but I thanked her.
My senior sister turned around and left, and I was trembling in the cold wind.
Although I felt refreshed and my dark eye sockets had faded, how could my senior sister refuse the kindness, so I used this pack of Chinese medicine to soak in boiling water to drink.
A few days later, it was my turn to off work and I could rest for a day and a night, so I took the bus to see my grandmother at Red Star Hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I went straight to Ward 109, but I didn’t see my grandmother. Even my relatives didn’t see him. I went to ask the nurse and found out that my grandmother had been discharged from the hospital, just yesterday.
After leaving Hongxing Hospital, I went directly to the East Passenger Transport Station and took a bus home.
My parents were at home. When my sister saw me back, she said, "Don't worry about my grandmother. The doctors at Red Star Hospital all said that people will die. My grandmother is almost 90 years old and life and death are in the sky."
I went to my uncle's house to see my grandmother, and my mother stopped me: "No, your grandmother is completely confused now and doesn't recognize anyone anymore. It's useless if you go. Are you still adapting to working in the hospital?"
Dad was smoking a cigarette and sighed: "It's not a good time this year!"
I know the pressure from my father. My grandmother spent a lot of money on hospitalization, but I still have grandparents to support me. Fortunately, they are in good health and live by themselves in the old house.
Since I came back, I went to my old house to visit my grandparents.
The house is located at the easternmost end of the village, near the stream, and the house is dilapidated. This is the house my father got married.
A thick layer of dust fell in the yard, and the door of the main hall was covered with a strong fire inside.
When my grandparents who were chatting around the fire saw me coming back, they were a little surprised and hurriedly pulled over a small stool and asked me to sit down.
I briefly told them about my current situation, and my grandfather reminded me: "The city is full of fish and dragons. Be careful not to make friends or be greedy for ill-gotten gains."
Grandma also echoed that they rarely entered the city and were also wary of the people in the city.
I agreed casually, and my grandfather said to me seriously: "I was also in the city when I was young. The people there were unpredictable. As long as you have real skills, it is easy to make money, but don't show off. The country people yearn for the lives of the city people, but some people in the city like to run to the countryside. They are not for farming, but for finding treasures, especially some people who do business, who believe in the treasures of housekeeping."
Speaking of the treasure of the house, I looked at the shrine of the main hall, where there was an incense burner, and the four big words "Treasure of the house" were cast on the furnace.
However, this incense burner is not valuable. It was exchanged by my grandfather with scrap iron from a waste collector, and there was also an ear missing.
I stood up and said goodbye to my grandparents. My grandfather fumbled on him for a long time, took out a copper coin, and handed it to me: "You go to the city to help me see how much can this copper coin be exchanged for?"
The copper coin still has grandpa's body temperature, with a "West King Bounty" cast on it, and on the back is a general wearing a battle helmet.
When I returned to my home, I brought some cotton coats and sweaters and returned to Luoyang.
After continuing to work, Dr. Min was surprised when he saw me: "Xiao Yuan, we are doctors. Don't believe the words of those doctors in the martial arts world. They are all feudal superstitions."
