Chapter 98: The Heart of the Doctor's Parents
As night falls, Wanhua City is like a city that never sleeps again wandering in the colorful "lanterns".
Liu Xiu first went to fill his stomach, and then went to the Qingxiang Cake Shop to buy a small bag of Qingxiang Cake. This is used to visit Shang Songnian. You can't just go empty-handed, right? It's not suitable to give too expensive things, and it doesn't matter.
After returning to his residence, Liu Xiu heard that the next landlord Shang Songnian had returned, but was having some family conversations with his wife. Liu Xiu waited for a while and guessed that he had finished eating, so he brought the first volume of medical books and the fragrant cake.
Although he wanted to use medical books as a stepping stone to fight for a short study opportunity, it was impossible to bring all medical books all at once. There are two considerations. One is that Shang Songnian is in a grade, and the content of the first volume is enough for him to think about it for a while. If he can't let go of the more volumes, he will be indifferent to the contents of the book. Although he should know how to restrain himself, who can explain this kind of thing clearly? Another thing is that Liu Xiu judges a gentleman with a villain's heart. He has to observe Shang Songnian's character. If his character is not good, things that save the world and save people may also bring bad sides.
Based on these two considerations, Liu Xiucai only brought the first volume.
Standing at the door, Liu Xiu knocked on the yard of the landlord's house. Liu Xiu estimated that the landlord should have two brushes, otherwise it would be impossible to earn the family business of several courtyards in this Wanhua City. Of course, it may also be that the patients he had cured may not be given to him. Doctors in this world should not be able to "receive red envelopes."
The footsteps sounded, the door opened, and what appeared was Shang Songnian's wife, a kind old woman. She recognized Liu Xiu and immediately smiled and said, "It turns out it's Xiao Liu, what's the matter? If you feel uncomfortable living, just say anything you need help."
"I'd like to forgive you when I'm upset at night, aunt, that's right. I have some private matters and want to visit Mr. Shang. I don't know if it's convenient or not?" Liu Xiu said politely.
The old woman opened the door and said, "That's it, come in. There is no inconvenience. I haven't fallen asleep yet. In fact, my old man rarely has peace of mind. Sometimes it's very common for me to go out to practice medicine in the middle of the night..."
I don’t know if the elderly are so talkative, but Liu Xiu smiled and listened to the old woman talking and following her into the yard.
The yard is very refreshing. After all, it is the residence of the doctor's house. Wanhua City is filled with the fragrance of flowers and cannot hide the faint smell of medicinal herbs here.
"Old man, Xiao Liu, who just came yesterday, has something to ask you for trouble. Don't look at your broken book, you are not afraid of being blind at such a young age..." The old woman came to the living room and said unhappy to Shang Songnian who was still reading books. Then she turned around and looked at Liu Xiu and said kindly: "You guys talk, I'll pour a cup of tea."
After the old woman left, Shang Songnian put down the books in his hand and looked at Liu Xiu and shook his head, "Xiao Liu, come, sit down, don't mind, the old woman is just like that, she rarely gives me a good face in her life, not for you."
"It is inevitable to be stumbling with each other for a lifetime. What is commendable is that you will never leave each other forever, which makes the younger generation envious. I heard that you like to eat fragrant cakes this morning, so I brought some for you and put them away quickly. I didn't even see it for the aunt, otherwise I would probably be talking about you again." Liu Xiu raised the fragrant cake in his hand and smiled.
At this moment, the old woman came with tea, pretending to be angry, but actually said with a smile: "The old man has eaten fragrant cake for a lifetime. I am very familiar with the taste. How can I hide it from me? Xiao Liu, too. Come and bring something, come and drink tea..." When he said this, the old woman glared at Shang Songnian and said: "I know you will never forget this mouthful in your life. I will tell you that you can only eat one piece every day, otherwise don't blame me for chanting you."
Then, he looked at Liu Xiu and said, "You guys talk and went into the inner room."
Liu Xiu smiled awkwardly and put the fragrance cake down and asked: "Uncle Shang, are you and the aunt living here?"
"No, my children and grandchildren can't stand the smell of medicine here and live in other places, but they often come to see us. Hey, those smelly guys, no one is willing to learn medicine from me. They either want to practice martial arts or learn to grow flowers, and they don't know what those things are useful." When talking about Shang Songnian, he said in a complicated tone, with the comfort of being filial to his children and grandchildren, and the helplessness of their reluctance to study medicine.
After chatting for a while, Liu Xiu immediately raised the purpose of his trip and said: "Old Mr. Shang, this is the case. I heard you mention this morning that he is a doctor, so I want to learn medical skills from you for a while. I wonder what you mean?"
"Do you want to be my teacher?" Shang Songnian looked at Liu Xiu in surprise and asked, with a much serious expression. Without waiting for Liu Xiu to answer, he said to himself: "Although he is a little older, if you study sincerely, it is not impossible. Doctors save the world and save people, and teach one more person can save more people. Doctors have no idea of hiding their weaknesses. It is rare that you have this kind of heart."
Shang Songnian's words made Liu Xiu a little embarrassed. After the other party finished speaking, he said embarrassedly: "Uh, the old man heard me and it's not bad to be a disciple. But I can't stay in this Wanhua City for long, so..."
If a master is a teacher, there must be my teacher when three people walk together. If Shang Songnian is willing to take Liu Xiu to study medicine, even if the time is short, he will be willing to call him Liu Xiu.
Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Shang Songnian's face darkened and said, "Nothing is wrong, practicing medicine and asking medicine is not a joke. Since you can't stay in Wanhua City for long, why did you come here to spend time here?"
Liu Xiu had already expected this situation, so he could only say with a grudge at this time: "Old Shang calm down. My younger generation is coming sincerely, not a pastime. It's just that my younger generation lives in Linjiang City. It's very far away from here. There are many trivial matters at home and cannot stay for a long time. I can only learn as much as possible during this period."
After hearing what Liu Xiu said, Shang Songnian's expression eased a little, but he still shook his head and said, "Since I can't study for a long time, I'd better advise you to forget it. Let me tell you this. I started to study medicine with my master at the age of eight in Huairentang. It took five years to distinguish medicinal materials. There is no need to say more about the sadness. I spent another ten years to observe the master to treat patients. Then I spent five years trying to treat the disease under the master's sidelines. I could only practice medicine alone after the master recognized it. Twenty years later, I became the most ordinary doctor in the consultation. After thirty years of accumulation, I have become the doctor in Huairentang. I have been wasting nearly fifty years. I am not trying to stop you from studying medicine. Now you have come with sincerity but only learn for half a month. How can I teach you?"
Shang Songnian remembered that Liu Xiu had rented a yard for half a month. When he heard that Liu Xiu had studied for a while, he speculated that half a month was reasonable.
After hearing Shang Songnian's heartfelt words, Liu Xiu couldn't help but feel a fever on his face. He had to admire Shang Songnian's good qi cultivation skills. Thinking from the perspective of others, if someone came to study medicine from him but said that he would have been studying for half a month, he might have to drive people out on the spot.
However, the problem is that Liu Xiu really came with sincerity. In desperation, he had to use his trump card, took out the "First Book of the Physical Medicine in Baiyun" from his arms, put it on the table and gently pushed it over and said: "Old Mr. Shang, don't be upset, I really came with sincerity, but I don't know how to get started with a medical book. I just want to understand what I have learned and what I have learned is applied to it. This book is quite profound. If you can't apply what I have learned and what I have covered it with dust, wouldn't it be a pity? Old Mr. Shang, he will know my intentions after he has viewed it."
When Shang Songnian heard Liu Xiu's words, he still frowned. He didn't care about the books he pushed over. He had a lot of medical books at home. How could Liu Xiu change his attitude with just one medical book?
However, he couldn't resist Liu Xiu's sincere attitude and picked up the medical book to read it casually, thinking that he was waiting for me to judge and dispel the unrealistic ideas of this young man. A medical book that I don't know where it aroused the interest in studying medicine? It's a joke, ridiculous!
However, when Shang Songnian opened the book, he forgot about Liu Xiu. His face was sometimes excited, sometimes suddenly and sometimes thoughtful, and his mouth was sometimes wonderful. It turned out that such words could be done.
I knew this would be the result, and Liu Xiu was not in a hurry and just waited quietly beside him.
Time passed by little by little, and Shang Songnian, who was silent in medical books, had no intention of looking up at Liu Xiu at all. He wanted to go into medical books.
Almost two hours later, Shang Songnian's wife coughed and said, "It's so late, haven't you finished talking yet?"
"It'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon," Liu Xiu said apologetically.
Shang Songnian was also awakened at this time, leaving the book with difficulty, holding it tightly as if he was afraid of flying. He first said to the old woman with a tough attitude: "What do you know about women? Leave, I'll be fine soon."
The old woman was not annoyed, and looked at Shang Songnian with a smile and turned around and left.
Liu Xiu understood the look. The old woman was telling Shang Songnian that I would give you face now, but you can wait for me! Liu Xiu immediately felt a little worried about Shang Songnian.
However, Shang Songnian did not care about this at this time, but looked at Liu Xiu very seriously and asked: "Where did you get this book?"
"I got it by chance. Mr. Shang has read some of the contents in the book. I think he should know its great relationship. I really want to apply what I have learned, but time is limited. Mr. Shang is also asked to solve the problem of the younger generation's sincerity." Liu Xiu stood up and bowed.
Shang Songnian stared at Liu Xiu for a long time, no longer asked about the origin of Liu Xiu's books, closed the books and pushed them towards Liu Xiu, and sighed softly: "Forget it, it's rare that you have this opportunity. Why don't you lead the way for you? The book records are extremely profound. I hope you remember what you have learned in the future and put them into practice. However, practicing medicine and medicine is not a joke. Remember not to act randomly without being sure to avoid harming people's lives."
"Thank you..." Liu Xiu bowed.
However, before he finished speaking, Shang Songnian waved his hand and interrupted, "Wait, I just promised you some advice. It is not known that you can learn some of the medical fur in half a month. I don't admit that you have a disciple, so you just call me my husband."
After hearing his words, Liu Xiu continued to bow and said, "Thank you for your fulfillment, sir."
With Shang Songnian's next guidance on medical foundation, Liu Xiu estimated that it would be easier to understand the contents of medical books in the future, but the time was too short and he didn't know how much he could learn.
Shang Songnian nodded slightly and said, "If this is the case, you can leave first. Tomorrow morning, follow me to Huairen Hall. I will ask someone to teach you how to identify pharmacology. In half a month, how much you can learn depends on your luck."
What can I learn in half a month? How many medicines can I learn? How many medicines can I remember? Shang Songnian did not have any hope for this, but only hoped that Liu Xiu, who owned the medical book, would still specialize in research in the future.
"Then I won't disturb the rest of the teacher. I will say goodbye now. I will follow my husband to Huairen Hall tomorrow morning." Liu Xiu bowed and took two steps back and turned around.
"Your book" Shang Songnian reminded him later.
After a pause, Liu Xiu turned around and smiled, "Sir, I'll give this book to you. I think it's more useful in your hands than in my hands."
"What? What should you do if you gave it to me?" Shang Songnian was stunned, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong. Liu Xiu was willing to give him such a valuable thing?
After clicking his head, Liu Xiu said: "Sir, don't be anxious. The contents in the book are all in my mind, so there is no difference between having it or not."
"Take it serious?" Shang Songnian asked in deep breath.
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Take it seriously!"
Nodding slightly, Shang Songnian looked at Liu Xiu and said seriously: "I don't know what you will be in the future, but there is a saying that please remember that the doctor's parents' hearts come to the door to seek medical treatment and medicine. The first thing we consider is not his good or bad, but the important thing to cure the disease first to save people. For the rest, no matter whether he is good or bad, good or bad, good or bad, there is a fair and iron law to distinguish between good or bad!"
His face was stunned, and Liu Xiu nodded thoughtfully and said, "I remember it in my heart."
"Well, go, go and have a break early." Shang Songnian smiled on his face.
