Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1055: Fire Gangrene
The temporary residence of Professor Fang's family of three belongs to a middle- to high-end residential area, with all nine-story buildings. Each building has two units, with one elevator serving two households. The elevators are imported and very quiet, with no sound at all. Moreover, the ventilation in the elevator room is particularly good, and it is definitely an oxygen-rich, environmentally friendly, high-quality elevator.

Professor Shen’s sister lives on the third floor, in the west room.

The doorbell is made of exquisite brass and looks like a tiger's head. Just press the tiger's nose to open it.

"Hey! Doctor Bian is here! Please come in!" After the tiger head disappeared, Professor Shen's increasingly old face appeared in the camera. Oh! It's a visual doorbell, and the design is really clever.

"This doorbell is so interesting! What does your sister do?" After entering the room, Bian Mu asked casually.

"Hey! Artificial intelligence! This doorbell must have been made by my nephew. No need to change your slippers. We're family. It's okay. Come in!"

The two were just exchanging pleasantries when Professor Fang and his daughter came out to greet them.

Tea had already been prepared in the living room. Bian Mu took a few sips and then informed the family of Mr. Lu's death.

It was too unexpected. Professor Fang's family was caught off guard. There was silence for a long while, and the family of three was speechless for a moment.

Bian Mu felt that the food he had eaten was a bit greasy, so he deliberately drank a few more sips of white tea, which was the best way to relieve greasiness.

……

"Doctor Bian may not know, but my ex-father-in-law attaches great importance to health preservation. He goes abroad for medical examinations twice a year on average. In some aspects, he does not completely trust domestic doctors, even famous doctors like Nie Yixiong are an exception. In my impression, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine has been taken to the extreme by him. Then... with his status, isn't this the prime of his life? How could it be..." Ms. Fang said in confusion.

"Everything goes to the extreme and then turns into the opposite! Let me give you an example... I'm sure you have also felt that when a person is receiving an infusion, the body temperature drops quite quickly, doesn't it?" Bian Mu asked calmly.

Professor Fang and his family of three nodded in unison.

"So... when people are receiving intravenous drips in the hospital, careful and conscientious nurses will usually put a quilt or towel blanket on the patient's abdomen, while the elderly and children will be arranged to cover themselves with thin blankets. One of the purposes is to protect the body temperature. This is the style of Western medicine. In our view of traditional Chinese medicine, intravenous drip treatment itself is actually a kind of external invasion of cold and dampness, which is an exogenous evil! Therefore, we traditional Chinese medicine practitioners will never arrange intravenous drips for patients unless it is absolutely necessary, especially antibiotics." After explaining this, Bian Mu felt a little thirsty, so he stopped talking, picked up the teacup and took a few sips of white tea.

"But... in my impression, overseas hospitals have always been very cautious about intravenous therapy, and... my ex-father-in-law rarely used intravenous therapy." Ms. Fang frowned and refuted a few sentences.

"Hehe... I'm just making an analogy. As far as I know, there is a more advanced replacement machine overseas, which looks quite high-end on the surface. In fact, its basic principle is roughly similar to intravenous infusion. Moreover, as far as I know, the most taboo overseas is the injection of antibiotics by intravenous infusion. As long as the medical theory is justified, they can still accept this method of infusion treatment, but they are relatively more cautious." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Oh... I see..." Ms. Fang responded with a gloomy face. "As far as I know, Director Lu has a deep understanding of Chinese medicine. From my impression of him... did he have something like a carbuncle on his back?" As he spoke, Bian Mu glanced at where Professor Fang was sitting.

"Oh... it seems there was such a thing, back then! The relationship between our two families was pretty good, and he... his temperament was not as weird as he became later. Our two families often had dinner together. Once, neither of them went, and I accompanied him to a high-level banquet, a small banquet. The white wine served by the host was very delicious. Even a light-hearted person like me drank a few more glasses. The wine was really delicious. He was in a very good mood at the time, so he was a little greedy. Maybe it's because alcohol speaks the truth! He did mention that he had a carbuncle on his back, and Nie Yixiong performed a Chinese surgery on him. The operation was quite successful." While recalling, Professor Fang talked about an old story.

"That's right! That carbuncle is most likely a fire carbuncle, which is extremely yang and extremely fire. I don't know what Elder Nie was thinking back then. If it were me... I might not easily remove that carbuncle of a special nature."

Upon hearing this, the three members of the Fang family were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, and the whole family turned their surprised gazes to Bian Mu.

"That Mr. Lu, right? He should be considered a rare genius, and his physical fitness is also quite special. Let's put it this way... the carbuncle on his back is actually a natural garbage collector. What's different is that it not only collects various toxins in the human body, but it is also a natural detoxification organ. As for whether it absorbs more or eliminates more, I can't guess. If it were me... I would suggest that Mr. Lu live with the tumor for the rest of his life. Of course, I would also perform some medical treatment on that strange fire carbuncle every once in a while to prevent it from developing further into cancer."

After saying this, Professor Fang and his family of three were all stunned.

"Ah?! There are such strange things in the world?!" Professor Shen couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Otherwise he would be a genius in the business world with his wide range of skills and talents, and he has earned such a huge fortune!" Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"Then...what kind of pathological changes occurred after the carbuncle was removed by Mr. Nie?" Ms. Fang asked hurriedly out of curiosity.

"To put it simply, before Mr. Lu had the carbuncle, he had a very yang and strong constitution. Such people are often determined, smart and capable, and can easily achieve success. After the carbuncle was removed, Mr. Lu changed into a very yin and cold constitution overnight. Of course, the relevant evolution also takes a process. At that time... I can't figure out what choice Mr. Nie made. Perhaps Mr. Lu has some other special potential that we will never know. Perhaps Mr. Nie was forced to do so at that time... It's hard to say, not to mention that I'm just guessing."

"Oh... so that's how it is..." Ms. Fang murmured to herself as if she understood.

Professor Fang and his wife were still confused.

"After his physique changed dramatically, Mr. Lu gradually realized that he was facing a very dangerous physical crisis. In order to protect himself and live a long life, he went overseas to seek medical treatment. He was smart, but unfortunately, he got one thing completely wrong. It is impossible to take into account both Eastern and Western medicine in many aspects. Moreover, some places are even completely opposite. So... when he gradually discarded some of his innate energies, he could not control the other kind of energy no matter what. Slowly, over a period of ten years, both innate and acquired energy went out of control, and only a bunch of external evil things were left in his body..." Speaking of this, Bian Mu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

After hearing this, Professor Fang and his family all sat there in a daze, speechless for a long while.

Sometimes, some people's lives are too fantastic, completely beyond ordinary people's imagination...
