Chapter 50: True Heat, False Cold, and Vomiting Blood

Before he finished speaking, Rong Qian met Chen Yin's serious and clear eyes and said respectfully:

"Please come in, Doctor Chen," he said, while extending his hand to gesture for Chen Yin to get in the car.

The driver looked at the second young master in disbelief, then regained control of his mind and quickly opened the car door for Chen Yin.

Chen Yin nodded, quickly got into the car, and before leaving, she did not forget to remind the two people at the door again.

"Mengxi, don't forget what I said last night."

"I know, I know. Stop nagging me and go get your treatment in peace."

Liu Mengxi waved her hands wildly, urging Chen Yin not to worry about the clinic, as she and Qi Wenzhong were watching over her.

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror, started the car, and drove away from the clinic.

In the car, Rong Qian introduced himself.

"Hello, Doctor Chen, my name is Rong Qian. I'm asking you to treat my grandfather. He suddenly fell into a coma yesterday and is breathing very weakly. The hospital asked our family to be mentally prepared. But we are unwilling to give up, and my grandfather is not suited to any bumpy movement."

"I learned about Dr. Chen through a friend and asked Director Yang to be the middleman. I'm really sorry to bother Dr. Chen this time."

"Comrade Rong, you don't have to be so polite. Treating illnesses and saving lives is what we doctors should do."

Of course, Chen Yin would not refuse what she had already agreed to, but the good attitude of the patient's family still made her feel much better because she was upset about not having breakfast.

"Comrade Rong, could you first tell me more about the patient's current condition?"

Rong Qian didn't expect Chen Yin to get into the mood so quickly, and immediately described the doctor's diagnosis in detail.

"Grandpa first had a blood test and a series of tests at the hospital..."

Facing a layman, Chen Yin did not say anything to stop the other party from deviating from the purpose of the description.

Instead, work hard to get what you want in the subsequent conversation.

Listening to the conversation between the two in the back seat, the driver's heart unconsciously became anxious, and he wished he could take the two to the hospital right away.

As for whether Chen Yin's medical skills could cure the old man, it was no longer that important in his opinion.

More importantly, the second young master must be on guard by their side. If the first wife does anything, they will be at the mercy of others as they are far away.

Thinking of this, the driver increased the speed after obtaining the consent of Chen Yin and Rong Qian.

But the road conditions in that era were worrying, and the three of them spent most of the journey in the bumpy car.

Chen Yin couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't eat breakfast, otherwise she would have vomited everything in the car.

In two hours, they arrived at the gate of the People's Hospital, which was twice as fast as a normal bus.

When getting off the car, Chen Yin could clearly feel the weakness in her legs, and there was a constant urge to vomit in her throat.

She quickly took out the mosquito repellent oil she usually used and put it to the tip of her nose.

After a while, the uncomfortable feeling was gradually suppressed by the smell at the tip of the nose, and the strength of the limbs gradually returned to the control of the body.

Chen Yin slowly stood up and turned around to see that the other two people were not in much better condition.

Comrade Rong, who looked like a noble young man just now, now looked pale and in even worse condition than she did just now.

Chen Yin subconsciously handed over the medicated oil in her hand, "It's used to repel mosquitoes, and it can also alert the divine brain. You two can try it."

Rong Qian looked at the low-quality glass bottle that suddenly appeared in his sight, and his eyes froze for a moment.

He raised his eyes to look at Chen Yin, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Thank you."

After saying that, he took the medicated oil and slowly brought it close to his nose. A cool and refreshing smell penetrated his nasal cavity.

The slight pain in his head was instantly soothed, and Hun Chaos's spirit was lifted.

Just by looking at the medicinal oil in front of him, Rong Qian's confidence in Chen Yin's medical skills increased significantly.

While he was thinking about the relationship between the medicated oil and Chen Yin's medical skills, Chen Yin had already taken out another bottle of medicated oil from her bag and handed it to the driver.

"Comrade, try this."

"Thank...thank you."

The driver was unable to react immediately and watched Chen Yin stuff the medicated oil into his hand.

He subconsciously glanced in the direction of the second young master, and saw a comfortable expression on Rong Qian's face, so he couldn't bring himself to say no.

At this time, Rong Qian had recovered from his bad condition.

He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the driver and ordered, "Go park the car."

Then he said to Chen Yin, "Doctor Chen, let's go up first."

"good."

Chen Yin nodded and followed Rong Qian into the gate of Dongyu People's Hospital.

The two walked through the outpatient building, came to the inpatient department, took the elevator, and came to the single ward where Mr. Rong lived.

At this time, there were many people waiting outside the door, including Yang Guohua, whom Chen Yin knew.

Yang Guohua heard the sound of the elevator door opening and subconsciously looked towards the elevator.

When he found out it was Chen Yin, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly walked towards the two of them.

"Doctor Chen, you're here!"

"Director Yang, why are you here?" Chen Yin asked puzzledly.

"I recommended you here, so of course I have to come and take a look. If there are any problems, just blame me."

Yang Guohua said this righteously, not expecting that Rong Qian, who was standing next to Chen Yin, could hear his words.

Chen Yin understood that the other party wanted to take care of her, "Thank you."

The three of them were chatting together in a harmonious atmosphere, but not everyone wanted to see this scene.

The eldest son, who was standing at the door waiting for the doctor to give a diagnosis, immediately raised a sharp question.

"Xiao Qian, this is the doctor you specially invited overnight—"

Xu Zhen raised her chin high and looked down at Chen Yin from head to toe in a condescending manner, finally snorting coldly.

Obviously, after seeing Chen Yin's appearance, she no longer took Rong Qian, her competitor, seriously.

Rong Zhaoxiang did not refute his wife's words, and it was obvious that he had the same idea as his wife.

Before, he was still worried that the second wife’s son would seek medical treatment overnight, and whether they would invite some famous doctor.

Now it seems like it was just complete nonsense!

Such a person is not worthy of being his son's competitor, and he wasted the whole night worrying.

However, Rong Zhaoxiang's Qi-cultivation skills had obviously improved a lot. After smiling at his nephew, he quickly looked away and continued to anxiously wait for news from the ward.

Rong Chaohui and his wife looked at each other, and obviously did not take the doctor their son had invited back seriously.

Now they can only hope that the doctor they hired can arrive as soon as possible, otherwise their second house will be in real trouble.

Just when everyone had different thoughts but all looked down on Chen Yin, Chen Yin followed Rong Qian and slowly approached the three of them.

Rong Qian explained directly in front of everyone: "This is Doctor Chen whom I invited."

Without waiting for the people from the first wife to continue speaking, Rong Chaohui took the initiative to stop his son from making trouble.

"Your grandfather is dying now, and not just anyone can get close to him. If you're tired after a busy night, go and rest. My mother and your brothers and sisters are here to take care of you."

Song Rong agreed, "Qian'er, go and rest first. Your father and I will take care of you here."

Rong Qian did not respond to their request, but continued with the introduction.

"Doctor Chen is from the Dongyu City Health Bureau."

Unexpectedly, when everyone heard this, they looked at Chen Yin with more and more contempt.

Because everyone who has some connection with the reputation of Dongyu City Health Bureau knows that if the people in Dongyu City Health Bureau can really save lives, how could they use their connections to directly send doctors from far away in Gangcheng by special plane?

Now, the doctor invited by the eldest son of the first wife, Sun Rongcong, is checking the old man's condition, and they just need to wait.

Rong Qian was unwilling to give in so easily. Since he had already invited the person here, he naturally had to give it a try and not miss any opportunity to save his grandfather.

Just as he was about to speak, the door of the ward was suddenly opened.

The first person to come out was an old man, followed by Rong Cong. Both of them looked a little unhappy.

In an instant, the people who had been waiting at the door for a long time felt their hearts skip a beat and came up with the worst guess.

The doctor's words just confirmed everyone's guess.

"Master Rong has typhoid fever, and his Shaoyin meridians are weakened. He is nearing his deathbed. It would be best if your family members could go and see him for the last time. I will prescribe a Shenfu decoction to help Master Rong stay awake longer."

Following the doctor's diagnosis, all the Rong family members showed grief regardless of their thoughts.

For a moment, the entire ward entrance was filled with a sad atmosphere, with only sporadic sobbing sounds.

Seeing this, Rong Cong waved his hand and prepared to ask the hospital staff to prepare the prescription and boil the medicine.

"Wait!" Rong Qian's voice suddenly sounded in the silent space.

When Rong Cong heard this, he immediately turned around and looked towards Rong Qian. He found a middle-aged man and a young girl standing next to Rong Qian, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But it is absolutely impossible for the other party to stop his actions.

"Second brother, I know what you want to do. But Grandpa has already come to this point, so don't bring any strangers to disturb him."

"The most important thing we should do now is to help Grandpa spend his final days well. I'll go notify the people below and have them prepare."

Rong Zhaoxiang looked at his son with pride, showing that he was in control of the situation, and then added:

"Oh, and we need to call your aunts so they can see your grandfather for the last time."

As he spoke, he took out his PHS cell phone from his pocket and prepared to make a call.

Rong Qian looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help sneering in his heart. It seemed that these people were talking to themselves and didn't listen to his words at all.

"Uncle, brother, the doctor I invited has arrived, and I want her to see grandpa."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Song, who was invited by Rong Cong, instantly directed his sharp eyes towards Rong Qian.

He had just made his judgment about Master Rong, but this young man from the Rong family actually dared not to give him face. Could it be that he had not heard of the name Liu Yishou in Hong Kong City?

Rong Cong glanced at Liu Song, whose face was obviously gloomy, and couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

He wished that Rong Qian could offend Doctor Liu to death so that he could save himself some effort.

"Second brother, what are you talking about! Doctor Liu's reputation is well known throughout Hong Kong. Are you doubting Doctor Liu's medical skills now?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Liu Song's face turned cold as ice and he simply ignored the existence of Rong Qian and the others.

He turned around and was about to leave, not wanting to see an impolite guy like Rong Qian again.

The people from Rong Cong's main house were worried that Liu Song would just give up and leave, so they quickly grabbed him and comforted him.

For a moment, the entire corridor was filled with the sound of a group of people comforting one person.

Seeing that Doctor Liu was still angry, Xu Zhen immediately turned her attention to the people from the second house.

"Chao Hui, Song Rong, what exactly do you people from the second house want to do? Do you want to watch the old man pass away in pain? What if Doctor Liu leaves and the old man encounters something else? Can the doctor you invited handle it?!"

As she spoke, she wished she could break up with the people from the second house right now.

But before that, she still wanted to step on the people from the second branch first, so that they, the first branch, would have a more advantageous position in public opinion when they returned to Hong Kong City.

Rong Chaohui and Song Rong regretted their son's reckless behavior and subconsciously wanted to explain something.

Before either of them could speak, Rong Qian, after confirming Chen Yin's determined look, gave a direct response in front of everyone.

"Yes! Doctor Chen can handle it."

The sudden voice immediately suppressed the voices of everyone trying to comfort Liu Song, and Liu Song naturally listened to all of Rong Qian's words.

Now Liu Song's face was no longer frosty, but he was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

He quickly turned around and looked back at Rong Qian and Yang Guohua, and said coldly:

"Since Second Young Master Rong believes that the doctor he hired is better than me, please come in. But if the doctor you hired gives the same answer as me, you must apologize to me in all the newspapers in our port city and admit that your own vision is not as good as your eldest brother's."

The last sentence hits the most difficult point.

Everyone in Hongcheng knows that the several branches of the Rong family are fighting fiercely for the family property. If the second branch admits that it is not as good as the first branch, how can it survive in Hongcheng in the future?

Rong Cong, who had just wanted to stop Doctor Liu, was instantly delighted when he heard this.

The other people from the main house were the same, looking at Rong Qian with great interest to see what choice he would make.

Anyway, Rong Qian has been manipulated by Liu Song's words. Whether he agrees or not, the big house will definitely get the advantage.

As for the possibility that Chen Yin could cure the old man, they had never thought about it at all.

Seeing Liu Song throw the trap, Rong Chaohui and Song Rong shook their heads frantically, firmly disagreeing with their son agreeing to this.

But Rong Qian was not just after the family property, his main purpose was to hope that someone could help his grandfather wake up.

Under the gazes of all kinds, he nodded solemnly, "Okay, I agree."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of the people in the big house deeply hurt the eyes of Rong Chaohui and others.

Song Rong could no longer support his body, his feet moved backward uncontrollably, his vision went dark, and he fell against the wall, slowly sliding down.

When Rong Chaohui saw his wife's appearance, he was extremely anxious and hurried forward to hug her tightly.

"Rongrong! What's wrong with you? Doctor, doctor...doctor, come quickly——"

He shouted as he anxiously led the person away from the ward door.

For a moment, Rong Qian was the only one left in the second room at the entrance of the ward.

He remained calm, extended his hand respectfully, and invited Chen Yin to come forward.

"Doctor Chen, this way please."

Chen Yin nodded and followed Rong Qian forward. The people from the main house slowly made way for the three of them.

It was at this time that Liu Song realized that Rong Qian's confidence in offending him actually came from a young girl, not the other middle-aged man he had just mistakenly thought.

Thinking of this, he felt his blood surge up all over his body, and his brain, which was dizzy with anger, was constantly filled with blood, and there was a tendency for it to explode.

Rong Cong didn't pay any attention to Rong Qian and the other two who entered the room. He glanced at them and quickly turned his attention to Doctor Liu.

"Doctor Liu, please come this way."

He stretched out his hand out of habit, thinking that Liu Song would follow his instructions and leave.

Unexpectedly, Liu Song raised one hand to block Rong Cong's posture.

"No need. Since Young Master Rong has invited a miracle doctor, how can I, Liu, not be a bystander?"

As he said this, he walked into the ward, forgetting that he had just expelled everyone from the ward when he was seeing the patient.

Rong Cong mistakenly thought there was something exciting to watch, so he followed them in.

In the ward, Chen Yin looked at the patient with a pale face, sweat on his forehead, and his chest rising and falling slightly, and realized that the patient was in poor condition.

She held her breath, ignored the foul smell in the ward, and slowly approached the patient.

With his hand on the patient's forehead, Mr. Rong's eyelids began to tremble violently, as if he wanted to open his eyes, but failed.

Then, Chen Yin's hands explored the patient's body.

The result was that the patient's limbs were cold and his pulse was weak and absent.

Liu Song watched Chen Yin's investigation process with pride, guessing that the other party's result must be the same as his.

Not to mention the little girl in front of him, even if a nationally famous doctor came, he would ask the Rong family to prepare for the funeral like himself.

Just as he was about to proudly announce Chen Yin's failure, Chen Yin suddenly bent down, took out a silver needle from the bag behind her, and disinfected it with fire.

The next second, the silver needle aimed at the patient's buccal acupoint and pierced into it.

The intense stimulation forced the patient's clenched teeth to loosen. Chen Yin timely instructed Yang Guohua beside her:

"Director Yang, quickly pick up the spoon on the table and pry the patient's mouth open."

The sudden sound made Yang Guohua's brain a little slow to react, but his body had already followed Chen Yin's instructions and picked up the spoon on the table for feeding.

Looking at the patient's loose teeth, he exerted force and stuffed the spoon directly in.

In an instant, a strong fishy smell gushed out.

Yang Guohua was closest to the patient and smelled an even stronger stench than before. Even as a doctor, he couldn't suppress the urge to vomit in his throat.

He subconsciously twisted his body, no longer facing the patient, and stopped breathing through his nose.

Just when everyone was scared away by the foul smell in the patient's mouth, Chen Yin let go of the silver needle in her hand, took the spoon from Yang Guohua, and began to explore the patient's mouth.

She could clearly see that the root of the patient's tongue was black and the tongue coating was thick yellow, which was obviously a heat syndrome.

Then, Chen Yin took the patient's pulse again, but this time she took the patient's Chongyang pulse.

His pulse was solid and strong, completely different from the conclusion of the pulse diagnosis at the wrist just now.

Obviously, there must be many factors that interfere with the pulse diagnosis results.

Then, Chen Yin turned her gaze to Rong Qian and asked, "Comrade Rong just said in the car that your grandfather has difficulty urinating. The urine is brown and has a strong odor. He also has symptoms of constipation. Is that correct?"

It was clearly a critical moment concerning his own status, but as soon as □□ Qianyi met Chen Yin's calm eyes, his heart involuntarily calmed down.

"Yes, this information was given by Aunt Fang who takes care of Grandpa."

"If I'm not mistaken, your grandfather must have heat blocking his Yangming bowels. He should urgently lower his bowels to preserve his Yin. Once the bowels are cleared, the blockage will open up."

As she spoke, Chen Yin handed the prescription - Dachengqi Decoction combined with Zengye Decoction - to Rong Qian, asking him to get the medicine for treatment as soon as possible.

Rong Qian didn't expect that Chen Yin could identify the cause of the disease in such a short time, and a feeling of joy unconsciously surged in his heart.

He immediately stretched out his hand towards the prescription and said excitedly, "Thank you, Doctor Chen! Thank you, Doctor Chen!"

Just when his fingertips were about to touch the prescription, it was suddenly snatched away from him.

Rong Qian's heart sank instantly. He turned around and saw that it was Doctor Liu invited by his elder brother.

Just now, because I was too concerned about my grandfather's condition and Dr. Chen's treatment, I didn't notice anyone following them into the house.

"Doctor Liu, please return the prescription. I need to go get medicine for Grandpa. You can't determine the cause of the illness yourself, so please don't delay the other doctors' treatment."

The most heart-piercing words are nothing more than this.

Liu Song's hand holding the prescription was shaking with anger because of Rong Qian. He didn't care about what he was thinking at the moment he got the prescription. All his anger was directed at Rong Qian and Chen Yin.

He raised the prescription in his hand high and retorted to Chen Yin:

"Master Rong clearly has Shaoyin deficiency of Yang, yet you actually prescribed laxative and cooling herbs like rhubarb for him. Do you want to see Master Rong die suddenly?"

Although Rong Cong didn't understand what Huan Ye was saying, he could vaguely tell that the old man was very weak, and the doctor Rong Qian invited had prescribed cold and laxative drugs for the old man, which was obviously intended to make the old man collapse.

Therefore, he quickly stood up and expressed his dissatisfaction to Rong Qian.

"Second brother, where did you dig up this barefoot doctor from? You actually want to murder the old man. Are you involved in this?"

As he spoke, Rong Cong had even thought about what to write in the newspaper after returning to Hong Kong City.

As a doctor, Chen Yin certainly would not tolerate a quack doctor slandering her diagnostic results.

She turned and looked at Liu Song calmly, and asked, "Doctor Liu believes that Master Rong has lost his yang due to Shaoyin, but in my opinion, it is heat blocking the Yangming organs."

"Nonsense!" Liu Song snorted coldly, not taking Chen Yin seriously at all.

But in Chen Yin's view, the more you argue, the clearer the medical facts become, and she immediately waved to the other party.

"Since Doctor Liu believes the patient is suffering from excessive yin and insufficient yang, and appears to be in a state of collapse due to yang deficiency, I wonder if you have seen what the patient's tongue looks like?"

Speaking of this, Liu Song was obviously a little guilty.

Because when he arrived, Master Rong was obviously in very bad condition. It was extremely difficult to perform a tongue diagnosis in this situation, so he did not examine his tongue.

Under the gazes of several people, Liu Song slowly approached the bed.

Yang Guohua raised the spoon in his hand at the right time to show the condition of Master Rong's tongue.

The moment he saw clearly, Liu Song felt his eyes go dark, his body staggered, and he almost fell directly onto the hospital bed.

“Hey hey hey!”

Yang Guohua was quick to stop the man. Thinking of the scene where the other party had just mocked Chen Yin, he couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"Old Master Bie didn't die from his illness, but was crushed to death by you, Doctor Liu."

"You you you...I I..."

Liu Song was so angry at Yang Guohua's words that he was fuming. He kept shaking his fingers but didn't say a word.

Meanwhile, Chen Yin continued to add evidence to verify that Mr. Rong had heat blocking the Yangming organs.

"In addition to tongue diagnosis, Mr. Rong's clenched jaw also indicates fullness and heat... All the symptoms are heat syndrome. Clearly, at this time, the heat in the internal organs needs to be purged, and rhubarb has a purgative effect, which is exactly the right symptom. Therefore, the old man clearly has true heat and false cold symptoms."

Every well-reasoned word brought Liu Song's resolute heart to the brink of breaking.

He didn't expect that after studying Chinese medicine for decades, he was still not as good as a young girl.

For a moment, the qi and blood surged up and gushed out.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood spurted out directly from Liu Song's mouth, splashing everywhere.

Seeing that the other party's blood was about to spill on the prescription, Yang Guohua tiptoed and quickly snatched the prescription from Liu Song's hand.

Looking at the prescription with only a drop of blood on the edge, his nervous heart instantly relaxed, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's okay! Fortunately, the prescription was saved."

This sentence dealt another heavy blow to Liu Song. His vision went dark and he fell straight to the ground.

Rong Cong didn't expect that the doctor he invited not only failed to diagnose the cause of the old man's illness, but also fainted from anger due to his narrow-mindedness.

His eyes went dark, his body swayed uncontrollably, and he shouted impatiently to the security guard outside the door:

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Take Liu Song to another ward."
