Return to the ’70s: A Young Educated Youth’s Slow Descent

In her past life, Sheng Kangning was the classic naive girl—easily manipulated by her scheming stepmother and half-sister, blindly following their every move.

Branded with a ruined reputation...

Chapter 48: Studying Traditional Chinese Medicine

Even with Chu Nanzhou leading the way, there were too many people in the aisle, and their luggage was all squeezed together. Sheng Kangning rushed to carriage number ten, his clothes slightly disheveled and covered in sweat.

Sheng Kangning took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his forehead and the corners of his eyes, and breathed softly. It took them half an hour to squeeze into a place that would have taken three or four minutes to reach.

Chu Nanzhou was asking in front where the passenger who had fainted was.

When they learned that they had a doctor, everyone realized the severity of the case and made way for them.

Sheng Kangning and the other two quickly reached the patient.

The patient had been laid flat on a three-seater seat.

It was a man in his fifties. He was very thin. One could describe him as emaciated. How could a person be so thin?

According to common sense, people who are very thin often have poor spleen and stomach function.

There were several people around the patient, including a young woman who was bending over to check.

Chu Nanzhou asked who were the patient's family members.

One of the young men turned around and looked at Chu Nanzhou, and asked with a tired face: "I am his son, my last name is Song, Song Yunpeng, are you a doctor?"

Chu Nanzhou moved Sheng Kangning from behind to the front:

"she is!"

When he saw Sheng Kangning, a look of disappointment flashed across Song Yunpeng's face. He probably still felt that Sheng Kangning was too young.

Sheng Kangning glanced at Chu Nanzhou.

Meaning, look! People don't believe it.

Song Yunpeng still expressed his gratitude to Sheng Kangning for coming, and explained a few words:

"The one examining my father's condition is Doctor Liu, a surgeon from the hospital," he said, pointing to a middle-aged man with a briefcase next to him. "This is Doctor Dai, who is with Doctor Liu. May I ask which hospital you are from, little girl? You look so young!"

Sheng Kangning was not angry at what the patient's family said because they were telling the truth.

She really looks like she is about fifteen or sixteen years old now.

She was thin and had a small face. The loose clothes felt empty on her and made her look even smaller.

The onlookers were guessing her age.

Some say fifteen.

Some say fourteen.

Sheng Kangning said calmly: "I'm not a doctor in the hospital, I studied Chinese medicine."

Sheng Kangning's voice was not loud.

But everyone around heard it clearly.

Doctor Liu, who was examining the patient, stood up, looked back at Sheng Kangning, and asked with a smile, "Are you studying Chinese medicine?"

Sheng Kangning nodded: "Yes!"

"How many years did you study?"

"Seven or eight years!"

In fact, she had been studying medicine with her mother Ling Qing since she was a child. After her mother passed away, she followed her grandmother to learn. The total time she spent studying medicine was more than ten years.

However, Sheng Kangning felt that there was no need to explain it so clearly.

Dr. Liu, please make way:

"It's just right that you're here. Check the patient's pulse."

Sheng Kangning looked at her strangely and said softly:

"I just came to check. I was worried that there was no doctor. Since you and Dr. Dai are here, you can just see the patient."

Doctor Liu smiled and said:

"To be honest, we came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything with us, not even a stethoscope. You should come! A Chinese doctor can feel the pulse and make a more accurate diagnosis."

Chu Nanzhou gently pushed Sheng Kangning and lowered his voice:

"Time waits for no one! Don't delay!"

Sheng Kangning nodded to Dr. Liu and Dr. Dai: "Then I'll wake him up first!"

Chinese medicine uses the four methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. It is best to wake the patient up, ask about his daily symptoms and then take his pulse, which will yield the best diagnosis.

Sheng Kangning walked over and bent down. She did not use acupuncture, but acupuncture was fast. It could be used to treat Shenting, Shangxing, Baihui, Sishencong, Fengchi and other points. One needle could wake the person up.

But he didn't know what caused the man to faint, so Sheng Kangning decided not to use acupuncture to avoid any unpleasant consequences.

Sheng Kangning used his thumb and index finger to rub the patient's Neiguan and Waiguan acupoints, and this action continued.

All the onlookers looked over curiously.

The whole place suddenly became quiet and no one spoke. Everyone wanted to see if this little girl could wake people up by just rubbing them a few times.

Two minutes later, the patient slowly woke up.

The people around them shouted in surprise:

"Wake up! Wake up!"

"You are quite skilled, little girl! What part of the body are you kneading? It's so amazing! The person will wake up in a moment!"

Doctor Liu and Doctor Dai had been pushed out by the crowd.

Dr. Dai winked at Dr. Liu.

Doctor Liu pulled Song Yunpeng's arm and said apologetically:

"It's obvious that the little girl has a family background in medicine. She can definitely save your father! We can't help much, so we'll go back first!"

I didn't want to come.

As soon as they got on the train, they saw a child in the carriage where Dr. Liu and Dr. Dai were sitting had a high fever that wouldn't go away. The child's mother was extremely anxious. Dr. Liu happened to have some antipyretic medicine with him and gave it to the child.

The child's condition stabilized.

Someone chatted and asked, and found out that the two were doctors.

It was a good time to broadcast a call for a doctor to save someone.

In fact, the two of them didn't want to come at all. They were forced to come. Everyone knew that they were doctors, and it would be unreasonable for them not to come.

Even if you don't contribute, it's good to have the intention.

Song Yunpeng still sent the person away with many thanks.

Chu Nanzhou glanced at the two of them and frowned slightly.

Some people also asked Sheng Kangning what method he used to wake the person up so quickly.

Sheng Kangning didn't have time to answer, but flipped the patient's eyelids and asked softly:
