[Chapter 158 Who doesn’t like Lin Yin like this?]
Jishidiang, a very famous Chinese medicine clinic in Didu.
It was founded by Ni Lu, whose medical skills were superb. Patients who came for treatment here could leave the imperial capital.
Later, as he got older and lacked the energy, he handed over Jishidiang to the students he had taught. A master like him would be specially invited by universities every year to serve as a mentor and teach a few promising students.
Compared with his apprentice, he is naturally different, but his ability is not bad either, and he still has some medical skills.
In addition, Jishidiang had the prescriptions given by Ni Lu, and the various pills produced there were very effective. Just for this reason, Jishidiang had a constant stream of customers.
Even at this time, already eight o'clock, there are still people coming to buy medicine.
The queue blocked the door.
Lin Yin looked at the master beside him and said silently: "How do we get in?"
Ni Lu: “…”
After all these years, there are still so many people.
If I had known earlier, I would have said hello to the students and closed the door early.
"Master will take you through another door."
Ni Lu took the lead, walked around the crowd and headed to the other side.
Lin Yin followed, then climbed over the wall and went in.
She was so terrified that she was afraid that Ni Lu would fall, and she didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he landed safely.
Ni Lu patted her shoulder and was quite happy. "I am old, not dying. This height can't stop me."
After saying this, he walked forward as if he was familiar with the route.
Li Kang is the current person in charge of Jishidiang. When he heard that someone had informed him that Ni Lu wanted to see him, he was shocked.
I hurried to the reception room on the third floor and saw an old man in a black Tang suit sitting on the sofa. He had a head full of silver hair, but his eyes were bright and he looked energetic.
If not Ni Lu, then who else could it be?
Li Kang stepped forward excitedly, "Mr. Ni!"
"You're here, please sit down." Ni Lu glanced at him, much calmer.
Li Kang couldn't control his excitement. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but grab Ni Lu's hand and said, "Where have you been all these years? There is no news from you. I have been worried for years."
Ni Lu coughed dryly, "I wander around everywhere, with no fixed place to stay."
Huo Jingze kept the news of his imprisonment on Loli Island secret so that no one else knew about it.
"By the way, the main reason I came here today is to introduce it to you."
Getting back to the topic, Ni Lu turned his gaze to Lin Yin beside him, "This is my apprentice, Lin Yin."
Lin Yin stood up and greeted politely.
Li Kang looked at her, dumbfounded, "When did you accept an apprentice?"
Everyone knows that Ni Lu has high standards and has never accepted any apprentices for decades.
Why the sudden change?
It can’t be because the other person is a beautiful girl.
He frowned, "The road to learning medicine is difficult. It will be even more difficult if you don't have enough talent. Besides, young people nowadays are not able to endure hardships. Your disciple will inherit your legacy in the future, so you can't just consider appearances."
Hinting to Ni Lu not to just accept a vase-like apprentice.
If he lacked talent and achieved nothing in his studies, Ni Lu's reputation would have been ruined for decades.
Lin Yin naturally understood his hint.
Without Ni Lu helping her, she took the initiative to speak, smiling lightly, "You just met me today and you don't even know me. How can you conclude that I am not talented enough and am unwilling to endure hardships?"
Li Kang spoke directly, "Few women nowadays are willing to endure hardships, and beautiful women only think about how to dress up and marry into a good family."
"Then your knowledge is indeed shallow." Lin Yin did not beat around the bush and spoke directly, "It's already this day and age, but you are still using stereotypes. Even your cognition cannot keep up with the times. I wonder if your medical skills will also stick to the old ways?"
"How dare you talk like that, little girl?" Li Kang felt offended and looked unhappy.
But Ni Lu was leisurely sipping the tea, as if she couldn't hear the quarrel between the two people.
Li Kang is over 40 years old and is considered an elder. Naturally, he doesn't want to be outshined by a little girl who hasn't even fully grown her hair in front of Ni Lu.
He said unhappily, "The patient won't get better just because you're good at talking. Instead of showing off your eloquence, why not show off your real skills?"
"Okay, how do you want to prove it?" Lin Yin asked with a smile.
Ni Lu put down his teacup and finally heard the two talking. He said, "Since Li Kang wants to know your ability, just show it casually. Start by memorizing the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, Treatise on Cold Damage, Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, and Difficult Classics."
"good."
Lin Yin began to recite, speaking clearly and without any pause.
"Memorization is an essential basic skill for Chinese medicine practitioners." Li Kang didn't care.
Ni Lu said nothing, took a sip of tea, and said casually, "The Golden Chamber, page 30, paragraph 3."
Lin Yin recited the content immediately without any pause.
"The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, page 60, paragraph 5."
"Nanjing, page 80, first paragraph."
"Shennong's Herbal Classic, page 105, paragraph 8."
…
An hour later, Li Kang's eyes when he looked at Lin Yin had changed.
Even medical practitioners who have studied for decades can hardly recite any passage so fluently and smoothly.
This memory is incredible!
"Li Kang, recite to me a passage from page 58 of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, the fifth paragraph."
Ni Lu took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
Li Kang was sweating profusely. "Mr. Ni, I'm old now. How can I remember it so accurately?"
"Then why did Lin Yin remember it?"
"...Having a good memory doesn't necessarily mean you have good talent," Li Kang said stubbornly.
Ni Lu's smile deepened. "Then why don't you two compete in acupuncture?"
"I have been a doctor for many years. Wouldn't it be bullying to compete with her?"
"Haha, let's compete first and talk later."
Since Ni Lu said so, Li Kang couldn't continue to refuse.
The content of the competition was very simple. Ni Lu was responsible for explaining the acupoints, while Lin Yin and Li Kang were giving acupuncture on the dummies.
See who can finish first, quickly and accurately.
The competition began, and Ni Lu began to call out the acupuncture points, "Quze, Hegu, Sibai, Tianshu, Xuanji..."
He listed hundreds of acupoints in one breath.
Sweat broke out on Li Kang's forehead, and he became obviously flustered while inserting the needle.
On the other hand, Lin Yin was calm and composed.
The silver needle in her hand seemed to have life, and it penetrated the acupuncture point steadily.
Soon, she finished the last injection and looked up at Li Kang, who still had more than a dozen acupuncture points to be pierced, "You lose."
Li Kang wiped the sweat off his forehead and stared at the dummy in front of Lin Yin with wide eyes. Each silver needle was inserted precisely into the acupuncture point.
"Xiaoyin studied acupuncture for half a year in college, and then studied with me for less than two months." Ni Lu said slowly while drinking tea.
Li Kang felt as if a knife was stabbed into his heart, and he felt depressed for a moment.
It turns out she is really a genius!
Li Kang was convinced. He was not a person who could not save face. He apologized immediately, "I am shortsighted. I am very sorry."
"Although I can tie the knot quickly, I am far from being as steady as you, senior brother. I will need to ask you for more advice in the future."
Lin Yin smiled sincerely and sweetly, and took the initiative to call him senior brother. The only bit of unhappiness in Li Kang's heart disappeared.
He smiled and said, "If there is anything you don't understand, and Mr. Ni doesn't have time to answer, you can always come to me."
She is beautiful, sweet-spoken and talented. Who wouldn’t like such a junior sister?
Next, Li Kang took Lin Yin to meet other doctors in the clinic and they got to know each other.
It’s getting late, Lin Yin should go home.
Ni Lu couldn't leave tonight and was "forced" to stay by the students.
Lin Yin said goodbye to his master and fellow practitioners and left through the clinic's main door.
I didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance when I first arrived at the first floor of the clinic.
