Chapter 3 Getting to Know…
The condition needs to be alleviated urgently. Any further delay may be detrimental to longevity.
At this moment, the patient's accelerated pulse was irritating Chen Yin's tense nerves, and she could no longer care about anything else.
Amid the questioning gazes of the people around her, Chen Yin quickly turned around and immediately locked eyes with Lu Li who had brought her here.
"Hello! Do you have any needles? Or fire! Or wine...alcohol?"
When Chen Yin was thinking about the treatment method, she accidentally found alcohol in her mind, which had the same effect as fire, and tentatively said it out.
Perhaps it was because Chen Yin's gaze was too calm, Lu Li was immediately intimidated by this girl who was younger than herself, and subconsciously helped to ask.
"Does anyone have a needle? A lighter? I need it to save someone."
The next second, two responses came from the crowd.
"Old woman, can I use your sewing needle?"
"Ha! You need a lighter to save someone, and I happen to have one!"
Chen Yin heard the two people's answers and nodded quickly, "Okay."
The two men pushed through the crowd and quickly walked to the patient.
The old lady thought that her needle was to be used to save people, so she wiped it back and forth on her clothes embarrassedly.
Then, he handed the needle to Chen Yin with an awkward smile.
"Thank you." After taking the tiny, hard sewing needle, Chen Yin quickly turned her gaze to another young man.
The man was seen holding a smooth little iron box only three fingers wide in his right hand. The case could reflect the surrounding scene, but there didn't seem to be any trace of fire.
Chen Yin subconsciously thought that a lighter was something like a tinderbox, but now there was no other fire and no alcohol, so she could only try her best.
She looked him straight in the eye. "Could you please squat down and light the fire? How many times do I need to burn the needle?"
"sure."
Now that things had come to this, Lu Tunan naturally wanted to see how this little girl, who looked even younger than his own sister, was going to save people.
Chen Yin twisted the needle and looked at the lighter in Lu Tunan's hand.
“Click!”
With a crisp sound, a cluster of orange-yellow flames suddenly appeared before my eyes.
Chen Yin looked at the other party's pressing action and the flames that burst out in shock, her mouth slightly open, no longer as calm as before.
Lu Tunan noticed this scene and couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking: This is what a little girl should look like.
Through the fireworks, Chen Yin met Lu Tunan's playful eyes and quickly came back to her senses.
With a calm gaze, she placed the needle over the flame to roast it.
At the same time, the other hand held the patient's palm tightly, stroking it from the palm downwards, squeezing a touch of blood out of the pale palm, which gradually spread to the fingertips.
At this critical moment, Chen Yin retracted the needle and inserted the tip of the needle into her fingertip.
The next second, a purple-black blood bead gradually took shape, which shocked Lu Tunan.
Others who were ready to watch the fun and mock out of curiosity or distrust also saw this scene.
After all, with the popularization of scientific knowledge, everyone knows that the blood in the human body is bright red.
Suddenly seeing the purple-black blood, I was horrified.
I thought to myself: Could it be that this young Chinese medicine practitioner really has some skills?
After a while, all ten of the patient's fingers were pricked, and the blood beads on the fingertips turned from purple-black to bright red, and the patient's consciousness gradually returned to normal.
The first thing Yang Daqiang said to Chen Yin when he regained consciousness:
"Thank...thank...doctor, I..."
"Don't be impatient! Bleeding is only a temporary solution. If you want to truly recover, you need to find a clinic for further treatment."
Chen Yin's cold words combined with her gentle expression made Yang Daqiang's heart tighten and he quickly closed his mouth.
At this moment, a hurried shout suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Make way! The doctor is here. The doctor from our city's Chinese medicine hospital is here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the seat opposite Chen Yin was immediately cleared by an entire aisle.
Sun Siwei raised his chin proudly and followed behind his teacher, enjoying the familiar stare that was like the moon being adored by the crowd.
Yang Guohua, who was walking in front of him, had steady steps and his eyes were fixed on Chen Yin.
When he saw the patient's complexion clearly, he knew he was too late and someone had already performed first aid.
Looking again, I found that the person who saved the man was actually a little girl, and she used the somewhat risky method of acupuncture.
Yang Guohua couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction in looking at the younger generation, but it looked so weak on his face that was full of dignity.
Especially his next question, "Why did you choose the bloodletting method?"
This question frightened the others, and they all mistakenly thought that there was something wrong with Chen Yin's treatment.
Those who had never believed in Chen Yin's medical skills started to laugh at her immediately, as if they had caught something on her.
"I just said, what can such a young Chinese medicine practitioner do? Look, something went wrong, didn't it?"
"Women should go home to cook and take care of the children. Is that what they are capable of?"
"I just felt that this little girl was untrustworthy and insisted on being stubborn. Now she's been exposed by the doctor from the big hospital, right?"
…
Chen Yin's expression remained normal, and she said softly:
"When I arrived, the patient's face was pale, devoid of any color. His limbs were cold, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he was unconscious. So I used the ten-point bloodletting method to wake up his brain and open his mind."
"No, that's not what I'm asking."
When these words were spoken, not only Chen Yin, but everyone else was confused as well.
Even Sun Siwei, who was standing behind the teacher, looked at the teacher with confusion.
Chen Yin met the gaze of the person coming up, and suddenly realized something, and continued:
"Suwen states: 'Jue means reversal. When qi is reversed, it becomes disordered, leading to sudden dizziness and fainting. This is called jue.' The principle of treatment should be to 'awaken the brain, open the orifices, and regulate qi', and acupuncture is one of the methods."
"Good!" Yang Guohua exclaimed excitedly.
In this way, he was sure that the little girl in front of him really had a lot of knowledge, and was not one of those people who thought highly of themselves after learning a little bit and fiddled with their knowledge casually.
Being able to quickly identify the cause of the disease and provide appropriate treatment in an emergency situation is truly a case of: young people can produce outstanding talents.
Yang Guohua wanted to say that when he was the other person's age, he definitely didn't have such ability.
But his action made those who had just mocked him feel ashamed and they secretly escaped when no one was noticing, leaving behind their own seats.
It was rare for Yang Guohua to see such an outstanding junior, and he couldn't help but want to get to know him.
"I'm Yang Guohua, an internal medicine doctor at Dongyu City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. I wonder where you're currently working? If you're close by, you and my apprentice, Sun Siwei, could exchange ideas and learn from each other. Of course, we could also research each other's difficult and complicated illnesses."
As he spoke, he pulled the useless disciple from behind him to the front.
Sun Siwei tried hard to straighten his wrinkled clothes, smiled awkwardly, and extended his hand, "Sun Siwei."
"Chen Yin."
Chen Yin paused, raised her hand, shook it again, and then released it.
"My family owns a clinic in Tongxi Town."
“It turns out that there is a family tradition of learning.”
In an instant, Yang Guohua looked at Chen Yin with an even more different look.
In his opinion, people who still follow the traditional path of learning medicine are extraordinary, let alone those who inherit family knowledge, which is even more rare.
Although the clinic is only in a small town, it does not prevent Yang Guohua from imagining Chen Yin's future achievements.
"Then let's exchange contact information so we can communicate more in the future."
Sun Siwei skillfully took out a pen and paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yin.
Chen Yin quickly wrote down the phone number of the clinic, which was also her home phone number.
Then, Sun Siwei handed the teacher's business card to Chen Yin.
Only then was Yang Guohua satisfied and prepared to leave.
But Wu Xiufang, who was too worried about her husband, refused to do so. She shouted with an embarrassed expression:
"Doctor! Could you please help my husband check if there's anything else he needs attention for? I'm worried he might move. I'm not... I'm not..."
Yang Guohua and Chen Yin could both understand the patient's feelings.
Yang Guohua glanced at Chen Yin, nodded, and squatted down to check her body carefully.
Once the emergency situation is confirmed to have been alleviated, you only need to go to the next stop and then to the hospital for further treatment.
"There's nothing serious at the moment. Doctor Chen's treatment is excellent."
"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!"
Wu Xiufang kowtowed repeatedly on the ground in gratitude, which was painful to hear.
Chen Yin quickly helped the man up. "No need for such a grand ceremony! The most important thing for you right now is to calm your husband down and be attentive at all times. If anything happens, call me immediately. I'll be in the next car."
"Thank you, young lady! You will surely live a long life."
Afterwards, Chen Yin returned to the carriage and was greeted by the gazes of the entire carriage.
It was the first time she felt such an intense gaze, and she couldn't help but feel nervous, almost walking towards her seat with her hands and feet together.
As soon as they sat down, many people wanted to know more details about the rescue, and some even gave Chen Yin gifts out of admiration for stepping forward to save people.
Seeing you with a handful of sunflower seeds and him with a handful of peanuts...
This unfamiliar behavior and enthusiasm made Chen Yin at a loss, and she waved her hands wildly to express her rejection.
In the end, it was Lu Li who was passing by who helped rescue Chen Yin from the crowd.
Just at this time, the train arrived at Yunchuan Station. With the help of enthusiastic people, Chen Yin easily emerged from the exit.
For some reason, she suddenly had an urgent urge to go home.
We called a tricycle and headed towards Tongxi Town.
On the other side, in the backyard of Huimintang Medical Clinic, Wu Dongmei was busy preparing dinner.
It was summer and she had no appetite for anything, so she just bought some alkaline noodles and prepared to have a meal with chili oil, pickled mustard and peanuts at home.
But as soon as the noodles were put into the pot, she thought of her daughter who was studying in the neighboring province, and she didn't know what her daughter would eat tonight.
Whenever Wu Dongmei thought about her daughter going to a neighboring province to study at one of the best medical universities in the country to fulfill her husband's last wish, so far away from home, she had been worried every moment in the past five years.
She didn't know why, but she felt that she missed him particularly much today, and she didn't come to her senses until the noodles were cooked until they were soft.
"Ouch! That's too rash."
Wu Dongmei cried out in frustration, frowned as she mixed the noodles with other condiments, and prepared to take a bite.
But just as she picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, there was a knock on the door.
Ever since her husband passed away and her daughter went to study in another place, Wu Dongmei has always gone through the back door of the backyard. The neighbors nearby also know this and always call her to go through the back door. Why is someone knocking on the front door today?
She put down the bowl with doubt in her heart and walked forward quickly, shouting at the top of her voice as she ran:
"Here it comes! Stop knocking!"
Before she finished speaking, Wu Dongmei had already walked to the front door, pulled out the door panel, and when she looked up, the confused expression on her face instantly turned into joy.
"Yin Yin, you're back!"
Chen Yin looked at the person in front of her, a trace of sadness flashed through her heart, and there was an unnoticed envy in her smile.
At this moment, she was at a loss and hugged him, thinking: You will be my mother from now on. She said in a choked voice:
"Mom, I'm back."
The sudden hug left Wu Dongmei at a loss. Since her husband passed away, her daughter has become more sensible.
This was the first time she had felt such intense emotions from her daughter, and she couldn't hide her joy, but she also felt something was wrong.
Wu Dongmei quickly distanced herself from him, looked at her daughter worriedly, and asked:
"Did someone bully you? I'll give him a slap in the face, so everyone can see how powerful your mother is."
