Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1299: Study Maniac
Luo Zhanqi had never really known how advanced Bian Mu's medical skills were. Sometimes, when he had nothing to do, he would secretly try to figure it out. He felt that at such a young age, Bian Mu's medical skills had already reached an "unfathomable" level.

After listening to Bian Mu's explanation, Luo Zhanqi was deeply impressed from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right, that's right...how could I have forgotten about the complementarity of yin and yang? It's just like the hemistroke patient who practices walking on the roadside every day. His left hand is trembling, so his right foot must be clumsy, and vice versa. The oblique angles are symmetrical, and yin and yang complement each other, right?" Luo Zhanqi said with a smile.

"We're just busy eating! I'm just closer than you and can see it more clearly. Under normal circumstances, you can tell most of it at a glance. Boss! Give me another half pound of mutton!" At the end, Bian Mu saw that the mutton was almost gone, so he shouted to the proprietress.

Luo Zhanqi is a man with a very strong self-esteem. No matter how much better Bian Mu's medical skills are than his, they usually get along like brothers. When they are face to face, he has to consider his face to some extent. No matter what, Bian Mu is many years younger than him, so he still has to pay attention to some small details.

Luo Zhanqi immediately felt the kindness from Bian Mu. He didn't mind his poor level of "diagnosis by observation" at all. He was learning a skill! If you don't understand, just ask. You won't learn anything if you act smart all day long!

With a smile, Luo Zhanqi took a pile of napkins and took out a black gel pen from his shirt pocket. Based on his own understanding, Luo Zhanqi started from the "middle burner" position, through the lungs, up to the trachea, then went through Zhongfu, Tianfu, Chize... all the way to Shaoshang acupoint. Then, according to his own understanding, he guessed and drew another "heart meridian" route map. After repeated consideration, he finally circled a small black circle at the place where he thought there was a "knot".

The proprietress came over with a wooden tray, on which was a large plate of mutton rolls, weighing more than seven taels. When settling the bill, she calculated it as half a pound. Bian Mu and the proprietress had already come to a tacit agreement on this.

In addition, the proprietress gave us a vegetarian dish of three fresh vegetables, a dish to relieve greasiness, and a bowl of digestive soup, also free of charge.

"You are so polite every time you come, which makes us feel embarrassed!" Bian Mu stood up to greet him, took the soup and gently placed it on the table.

"You see so many patients every day, it's very hard work, you should take care of them! Last time, if you hadn't given those injections, my husband's two back teeth would have been pulled out. It would have cost more than 3000 to replace two teeth in our small clinic! Doctor Bian! Tell me, how should we settle that bill?! Right! You are very famous now, and you have given us enough face by not minding our small store. What's the point of this little food! Oh! Doctor Luo! You are still working on cases after get off work! Dedicated! Really dedicated! No wonder your clinic is so popular all day long!" At the end, the proprietress did not forget to praise Luo Zhanqi.

"Look at what you said! People! If you don't study for a day, you will be eliminated by your peers that night without knowing it! In the past two years, the industry circle has been very competitive!" Putting down the gel pen in his hand, Luo Zhanqi responded with a few words with a smile.

"It's not that mysterious! We have at least a hundred or eight thousand customers every day, except for those silly kids preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam who sit there memorizing a few English words. As for the older people, I've never seen you work so hard, haha..." The proprietress responded with a smile.

"There's nothing we can do! Life is not easy! By the way, that man just now seemed to be very familiar with you. What kind of food was in the thermos? I didn't see him pay for it! Relative?" Luo Zhanqi asked without thinking.

"You are talking about him! Lao Ya Tang! Lao Duan! A teacher in a vocational school. Last year, when my eldest daughter was taking the college entrance examination, he gave her math lessons for a few days, and her grades went up immediately. We offered him money, but he refused to take it. He is a senior intellectual and he is too concerned about his reputation! We can only take care of him in terms of food. Come to think of it... it's a pity for him too, he has a PhD degree! I heard that he used to work in some research institute, but later he had a falling out with his boss for some reason. With the help of his relatives, he was transferred to the No. 1 Middle School in the city to teach math to senior high school students. As a result, alas! When he was teaching on the podium, the kids below couldn't understand him, so he was arranged to work in logistics. Later, I don't know what happened, but he was transferred to a vocational school not far from us." The proprietress smiled and gave a brief introduction.

"The vocational and technical college on Hongyang Street? Food, right?" Bian Mu remembered that he seemed to have passed by there, so he said something casually. "Yes, that's it! Fortunately, the principal there knew that he was a great talent, so he let him run the laboratory. He didn't have to substitute for classes, nor did he have to work in logistics and look at the boss's face. It's pretty free, right?" The proprietress responded with a smile.

The three were chatting when a customer called over. The proprietress smiled and hurried over to take the order.

Bian Mu ate the delicious mutton without saying much. He used the serving chopsticks to put the mutton into the copper hot pot. He liked it to be a little soft, so he let the meat slices cook for a while longer. It doesn't matter if it's cooked! He doesn't care about the taste.

Luo Zhanqi lowered his head and continued drawing...

After a while, Bian Mu picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and started eating. Luo Zhanqi had also finished drawing the Qi and Blood Pathway Map and handed it to Bian Mu.

“Is it the right picture?”

"How can there be right or wrong? I just took a few glances just now. I'm not a god, and I was just guessing!" Bian Mu smiled and said a few polite words.

"We're one family, you're welcome! If there's anything wrong with the painting, please give me some pointers so I can learn from it." Luo Zhanqi said with a smile.

Luo Zhanqi picked up the chopsticks and started eating the vegetarian dishes. He was used to eating vegetarian dishes that were cooked well, and in this respect, he and Bian Mu could really agree.

Now that things had come to this, Bian Mu stopped being polite. He put down his chopsticks and examined it carefully.

"His case is special. Didn't you listen to what the landlady said just now? He should be a genius in mathematics. His personality is somewhat weird. He is probably a schoolboy who has been obsessed with some kind of academic research for many years and has wasted his normal life. Especially his eyes. There is more or less something in his eyes. No wonder you have some deviation in your judgment. There is only one such person among tens of thousands of people. I heard that... In the 1980s, similar weird people were found in many places and fields in China. It was the Qigong era. Do you have an impression? Now society has made much progress and people's wisdom has been broadened! Such people are almost extinct. As for him... Because his mind is somewhat narrow, he has become ill over time and has made himself miserable. Alas! He is also a poor man!" At this point, Bian Mu sighed softly, and his words were full of sympathy.

In a sense, this person is somewhat similar to himself in terms of his mental journey, and he feels a sense of empathy... Bian Mu sympathizes with that person from the bottom of his heart.

Luo Zhanqi was much inferior to Bian Mu after all, so Bian Mu didn't hold back. He marked every mistake with a slash. He simply deleted the places with more serious errors by smearing them in black, and added the correct lines, acupoints and so on to the side. After a while, when everything was corrected, he handed it back to Luo Zhanqi.
