Social Death Patient 058
Yang Yanwen was shocked. He was old and couldn't stand people around him being startled.
"Ruhan, why aren't you calm at all today?"
"Teacher, you said that Bai Jiesui is the apprentice of Doctor Zhou Yuliang?" Zhang Ruhan still couldn't accept the reality before him.
Yang Yanwen: "Doctor Zhou only has this one disciple. Could I have recognized the wrong person?"
"But didn't you say..." Zhang Ruhan wanted to say, isn't Doctor Zhou Yuliang's apprentice a medical genius? If even he can't catch up with him, then Bai Jiesui is obviously not one of them.
But Yang Yanwen didn't have the heart to talk to him now. All his energy was focused on reminiscing with Bai Jiesui.
"Where is your master, Mrs. Zhou? Has she come today? I haven't seen Dr. Zhou for a long time. I often miss the time when we used to communicate all night long about our experiences in traditional Chinese medicine. I received a lot of inspiration from our communication, which benefited me for the rest of my life. It's just that your master doesn't like to be constrained and likes to travel around. We have too little time together, and there are many questions I haven't had time to ask. Otherwise, I really want to move over and be your neighbor, and break down your master's door." Yang Yanwen couldn't contain his excitement at the thought of meeting Zhou Yuliang soon.
"I don't know if he's still the same as before. I can't do that anymore. I've definitely lost a lot of my strength over the years."
Bai Jiesui was reluctant to expose Yang Yanwen's beautiful vision, but she had to tell him the truth.
"I came here today to tell you something. My master, Lao Zhou, passed away three months ago."
When Yang Yanwen saw Bai Jiesui's expression become serious, he had a premonition that things might not be good, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.
He came with great anticipation, thinking that he would soon be reunited with Dr. Zhou, and be able to talk with Dr. Zhou all night long and exchange medical experiences, just like he did more than ten years ago.
The sudden attack caught Yang Yanwen off guard, and his bright eyes became dim in that instant.
"How did Doctor Zhou leave so suddenly?"
Of course, Bai Jiesui couldn't say that Lao Zhou was actually reborn into his original world, but this was not much different from passing away.
"He died of old age, quite peacefully, just dozing off in a rocking chair."
Yang Yanwen is already in his eighties, and many of his old friends have passed away. He has become open-minded about the issues of life and death, and has always been quick to accept them.
But he still couldn't help feeling sorry for the passing of Dr. Zhou Yuliang, purely feeling sorry that the world had lost another good Chinese medicine doctor.
"Alas, it's such a pity that Dr. Zhou is gone. It's hard to find another Chinese medicine practitioner as good as him in the world."
Then Yang Yanwen had to apologize to Xu Ze: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I didn't expect that Doctor Zhou would pass away so suddenly, and it happened to be three months ago."
Xu Ze was used to it. Zong Jin had seen many Chinese and Western doctors, and had also made a special trip to see the so-called miracle doctor. Their whole family lived in two emotions: expectation and disappointment.
He had been disappointed so many times, and the only good thing about it was that it allowed him to deal with the current situation calmly.
Xu Ze politely replied, "It's hard to defy fate. There are some things that even you, Mr. Yang, can't predict. I hope you'll take good care of Ah Jin's health."
Yang Yanwen looked at the white mustard spike silently.
Although she was Zhou Yuliang's last disciple and was taught by Doctor Zhou Yuliang himself, she was still too young and had not accumulated enough experience. Zong Jin's situation was more complicated. Recommending her rashly would only bring her trouble.
Yang Yanwen thought about it carefully, but finally did not recommend white mustard.
However, he heard Xu Ze take the initiative to say, "Isn't Miss Bai a disciple of Doctor Zhou? She must have inherited Doctor Zhou's true teachings. How about asking Miss Bai to show it to Ah Jin later? I just don't know if Miss Bai has the time for this song."
In Yang Yanwen's opinion, this matter was definitely not going to work, so he stood up without saying a word to defend Bai Jiesui.
"She's still young and doesn't have much experience, so she might not know how to treat it. Mr. Xu, please don't make it difficult for her. Let me do it, so as not to delay the treatment."
Xu Ze casually said, "I think Miss Bai's strength is not bad. It's still worth a try. Just think of it as using our Ah Jin to give Miss Bai a training."
He also didn't expect Bai Jiesui to be able to show Zong Jin anything.
Anyway, seeing a doctor is fake, the main purpose is to help people chase stars.
"This is nonsense." Yang Yanwen disagreed. It would be disastrous if Zong Jin knew that he was using the young master of their Zong family to practice on him.
Yang Yanwen shook his head at Bai Jiesui, signaling her not to agree.
Bai Jiesui had been paying attention to their interactions. She probably guessed that Yang Yanwen was helping people treat illnesses, and when he encountered a problem, he was unsure of what to do, so he recommended his master, Lao Zhou. However, she didn't expect that Lao Zhou suddenly passed away.
"I can give it a try." She didn't have as many concerns as Yang Yanwen. She felt that it didn't matter if she just took a look. It would also be a good thing if Yang Yanwen could solve the current problem.
Besides, this was originally a job that should have fallen on Old Zhou's shoulders, so it's only natural for her to take over now.
"Why don't you listen to my advice? This job is not as easy as you think..." Because Xu Ze was in front of him, Yang Yanwen was not in a position to tell the truth. The second young master of their clan was not so easy to serve. Although he would not scold people, he was particularly good at playing tricks on people. Those who had praised Haikou Doctor were once ashamed of themselves by him.
Xu Ze: "Mr. Yang, please don't scare Miss Bai. Our Ah Jin has a good temper and is very easy to talk to. Miss Bai, you can look around. He won't be angry with you. If you are angry, come to me."
Yang Yanwen had no way to stop this and could only watch them make the agreement.
This development of the matter was not what he wanted, but fortunately he was still present, and he would be watching from the side, so there would probably not be any major problems.
On the way back to the medical exchange meeting, Yang Yanwen kept asking Bai Jiesui about Zhou Yuliang's situation over the past few years.
Of course, Bai Jiesui couldn't tell him every detail, especially about her experiences in the other world, so she could only fill in the gaps in her stories.
But these experiences alone were enough to shock Yang Yanwen.
"I just can't be as carefree as your master. Otherwise, I would travel around the world, see the vast and beautiful rivers and mountains, and help ordinary people suffering from all kinds of diseases. Your master is great. I will never be able to achieve even one ten-thousandth of his level in my lifetime, nor can I catch up with his medical level."
"We are both doctors who save lives. There is no distinction between high and low. You treat patients in your clinic, and my master treats patients where he goes. You both do the same thing. In the eyes of your patients, you are both great people."
Yang Yanwen was so coaxed that he burst into laughter: "You have grown up to be quite talkative. You were so cold when you were young. Sometimes you would not even respond to anyone when I teased you. You were like a little adult."
"...You just praised me for being lovable when I was little."
"You're lovable, but you're also really cold," Yang Yanwen said with a smile. "By the way, now that your master has left, what are your plans? It's not appropriate for a girl like you to be traveling around like your master. Have you ever thought about settling down? If you can't think of anywhere else to go for the time being, you can come to my place first."
Given Yang Yanwen's current identity and status, in the past others would use their connections to beg him to take them in. This was the first time he took the initiative to extend an invitation.
Even Yang Yanwen agreed to accept Zhang Ruohan as his disciple only because of his family connections. Of course, it was also because Zhang Ruohan himself was outstanding enough, otherwise Yang Yanwen would not have accepted him even if he had other connections.
Zhang Ruhan was a little dazed the whole way. One moment he was Bai Jiesui, the classmate with no outstanding academic performance in school, and the next moment he was the medical genius mentioned by Teacher Yang.
For a moment he couldn't tell which one was the real white mustard ear.
But when she took Wang Peng's pulse just now, she was indeed right, even his teacher was slightly inferior to her.
Can a person really make such great progress in just one year?
After hearing Yang Yanwen's proposal, Zhang Ruhan became inexplicably nervous, and even his breathing slowed down.
If Bai Jiesui agreed, wouldn't they become fellow disciples from classmates?
Thinking of this, Yang Yanwen couldn't help but become more nervous, staring at Bai Jiesui curiously waiting for her answer.
Bai Jiesui smiled and politely declined Yang Yanwen.
"For now, I plan to sort out all of Lao Zhou's notes and treatment plans from these years, compile and summarize them, and contact the publisher. There's no rush for anything else."
"Doctor Zhou's treatment notes?" Yang Yanwen was both pleasantly surprised and surprised.
"I have sorted out a part of it and brought it with me today. I will give a copy to you later, Mr. Yang."
"Did you bring it? Come on, take me to see it now." Yang Yanwen urged Bai Jiesui to take him to see Zhou Yuliang's notes, and his pace couldn't help but quicken.
Xu Ze followed them closely, secretly took a photo of the white mustard spike and sent it over with a caption.
[XZ]: [Looking closely, Miss Bai looks even better. No wonder you have to watch her livestream every day. I'm so lucky! I just saw her taking someone's pulse and diagnosed them with formaldehyde poisoning from inhaling fake bags. Miss Bai's reputation is truly well-deserved. It really opened my eyes and taught me a lot.]
Zong Jin didn't reply to him for a long time after he sent the message, but he guessed that Zong Jin must have seen it, but he just saw through his showing off and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Xu Ze showed a smug smile on his face and put away his phone contentedly. I told you that you had troubled me in the past and didn't come back with me.
At this time, Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao were wandering aimlessly in the venue, eating some buffet food from time to time to kill time.
It's not their fault that they have nothing to do. The key point is that it is their first time here. They don't know any of the medical seniors in the venue. There is no one to introduce them, so they can't talk to them at all.
Both of them were almost full, and they looked forward to seeing Zhang Ruhan coming back.
They are like young birds guarding a nest, and when the female bird finally returns to the nest, they fly over.
But they were a little confused about the current situation. Why was Teacher Yang chatting so happily with Bai Jiesui and even ignoring Zhang Ruhan?
Bai Jiesui put all the personal belongings she brought with her in the storage room at the venue, and she took out a bound notebook and gave it to Yang Yanwen.
As soon as Yang Yanwen got the book, he couldn't wait to read it, and sometimes he would discuss it with Bai Jiesui Jingxing.
Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao became more and more confused.
Wen Chao whispered to Zhang Ruhan, "Why do I feel like this isn't the first time Teacher Yang and Bai Jiesui have met?"
Gao Wanjie also thought so: "Did they know each other before?"
Zhang Ruhan glanced at them coldly and dropped a bombshell.
"She is the disciple of Doctor Zhou Yuliang that Teacher Yang mentioned before."
Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao were indeed petrified by the shocking news.
"But isn't Doctor Zhou Yuliang's apprentice a genius?"
"Could it be a mistake? She's White Mustard Seed."
Zhang Ruhan would rather be mistaken, but the facts are so dramatic.
"The teacher has met her before, it's impossible for her to be mistaken."
Wen Chao suddenly thought of something and his expression became complicated.
"But Brother Han, didn't you praise Doctor Zhou Yuliang's apprentice in front of Bai Jiesui before, and showed Bai Jiesui Doctor Zhou's prescription..." It was hard for him to imagine what Bai Jiesui was thinking at the time, and whether he was laughing at Zhang Ruhan in his heart.
Gao Wanjie quickly pulled Wen Chao and told him to shut up.
But it was too late.
"..." Zhang Ruhan had a heart attack and couldn't utter a word.
The scenes of their reunion at the kindergarten gate and the words that he had said to Bai Jiesui in the business car more than an hour ago appeared before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
At this time, Bai Jiesui seemed to have heard them talking about herself, and looked over as if she had sensed something, and her gaze met theirs.
Zhang Ruhan was even more upset and felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig three feet into the ground and bury himself.
It doesn’t matter who is Doctor Zhou Yuliang’s apprentice, why has it to be her?
Zhang Ruhan was having a heart attack when Yang Yanwen suddenly waved at him and asked him to come over.
He could only endure Bai Jusui's gaze and walk over with gritted teeth.
Yang Yanwen didn't notice Zhang Ruhan's abnormality. He asked Zhang Ruhan to look at the notes in his hand as if he was sharing a treasure.
"Take a look at the excellent notes compiled by Jiesui. The classifications are meticulous and the annotations are thorough. It's a rare and excellent medical book..."
At first, Zhang Ruhan was a little embarrassed and was not willing to read the notes compiled by Bai Jiesui.
But after reading a few lines, his expression immediately changed. He became serious and focused, and began to ignore his surroundings and read the book eagerly.
This medical book was different from any other medical book he had read before. It contained many new prescriptions and treatment plans with different ideas that he had never heard of.
Even for some common diseases, there are many different solutions given above, which made Zhang Ruhan's eyes light up and he was enlightened.
The way he was obsessed with flipping through his notes made Yang Yanwen helpless to explain.
"My student is like this. Once he starts reading a medical book, he can't stop. The better the writing, the more engrossed he is. This also proves that you have organized it very well. And the annotations above are written by you, right? They are clear and easy to understand at a glance."
Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao stood on both sides of Zhang Ruhan. Like the left and right bodyguards, they could hardly believe that this was done by Bai Jiesui.
Organizing the notes of a master of traditional Chinese medicine requires a strong foundation in medicine, otherwise anyone can compile a medical book. Moreover, a lot of the content in it was written by Bai Jiesui himself.
Yang Yanwen saw that they would not be able to finish reading it in a short time, and it would probably take them some time to digest it after reading it, so he discussed it with them.
"Ji Sui, could you please lend this book to my student first?"
Bai Jiesui said readily, "If Zhang needs it, I can give him a copy."
Yang Yanwen suddenly remembered that when they were in the pavilion earlier, Zhang Ruhan seemed to have said that they were college classmates.
Isn't this fate?
Yang Yanwen was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling: "Ruhan, why don't you thank Jiesui quickly."
Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao both looked at Zhang Ruhan.
Zhang Ruhan could only give an awkward smile: "Thank you, Mr. Bai."
Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao also expressed their gratitude, but they were relatively natural and not as embarrassed as Zhang Ruhan.
Bai Jiesui: "You're welcome. We've been classmates for a few years, so it's only natural for me to help you. If you encounter anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
The familiar words sounded so unpleasant to Zhang Ruhan's ears.
Yang Yanwen was watching from the side, and Zhang Ruhan had to respond, otherwise it would be too impolite.
In Yang Yanwen's opinion, his embarrassment was due to his strong self-esteem and his inability to stand others being better than himself.
Being strong-willed is not necessarily a bad thing. At least it can motivate you to make progress. However, no matter how strong-willed you are, you must also face up to your shortcomings so that you can make better progress.
It is obvious that Zhang Ruohan cannot do it now, but this is always a problem he must face, otherwise he will never make much progress or achieve much.
"Ruhan, there will always be someone in this world who's better than you, who's learned better than you, and who works harder than you. I've told you before, Jiesui has had a natural talent for medicine since she was a child. When Doctor Zhou treated patients, she'd sit right beside him and listen, then repeat the words herself. The next patient came in, and she'd be able to recite the prescription before her master did. Such talent is rare in the world. She can memorize every medical book she's read. She'd memorize medical texts and herbs before she'd even learned all the characters. Every morning, she'd look for adults to read the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine to her. When I met her, she'd already memorized it..."
Xu Ze took out his cell phone again and leisurely broadcast the live broadcast to Zong Jin.
[XZ]: [By the way, I heard a lot about Miss Bai's childhood. I heard that she had a photographic memory for medical books when she was young, and could recite the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine by the age of four or five.]
[XZ]: [She didn't know many words at the time, but she could remember anything someone read to her. Her memory is even better than yours.]
The result of his live broadcast was a red exclamation mark.
Although he was blocked, it did not dampen Xu Ze's good mood.
Yang Yanwen's exhortation over there also ended.
Not to mention Gao Wanjie and Wen Chao, even someone as smart as Zhang Ruhan is far from the white mustard seed that Yang Yanwen mentioned.
Zhang Ruhan really wanted to say that was just when she was a child. Yang Yanwen hadn't seen Bai Jiesui for more than ten or twenty years. How could he know that she was still as talented as she was when she was a child? Maybe she had become ordinary. When she was studying at the Medical University, she was known to be mediocre.
But he couldn't say these words, because if he did, Yang Yanwen would definitely be disappointed in him.
In addition, he was reluctant to throw away the notes compiled by Bai Jiesui, as he really wanted to read the contents.
He silently accepted Yang Yanwen's criticism of him, and finally had time to continue looking at his notes.
The commotion here quickly attracted other Chinese medicine teachers in the venue.
On the one hand, Yang Yanwen himself is a well-known figure, and many of those present are his old friends. When they see him coming, they naturally come to say hello to him.
"Mr. Yang, what are you looking at?"
Yang Yanwen introduced it enthusiastically: "This is the notebook of her master, compiled by the apprentice of an old friend of mine. It's a rare treasure. I'm giving it to you today and letting you read it before it's published."
"The little girl looks unfamiliar. Which old doctor's new apprentice is she?"
Yang Yanwen: "I don't know if you have heard of Doctor Zhou Yuliang. He is Doctor Zhou's apprentice."
The Chinese medicine doctors present looked at each other, wondering if they recognized each other.
Zhou Yuliang does not have a fixed clinic where he practices, nor does he make an effort to make friends with his peers. He is a loner with an uncertain whereabouts and is not interested in fame and honor. It is normal that most people in the industry do not know him.
Yang Yanwen said: "Dr. Zhou Yuliang is used to being free and enjoys an unconstrained life. He has been traveling a lot in recent years, so many people may not have heard of him. But I can guarantee that Dr. Zhou is definitely one of the best masters of traditional Chinese medicine."
Although Yang Yanwen praised Zhou Yuliang highly, it sounded more like formality. In the eyes of the Chinese medicine doctors present, Zhou Yuliang was not much different from a barefoot doctor.
Yang Yanwen: "Dr. Zhou didn't gain fame during his travels, but he did accumulate a lot of valuable experience. His life's work is concentrated in this book compiled by his apprentice."
The other Chinese medicine doctors all heard Yang Yanwen's subtext. He wanted to help promote his old friend's new book. After all, it is difficult for a person without fame to publish a book.
It's just a small favor anyway, so everyone is willing to give Yang Yanwen some face.
White Mustard Spike is printed on ordinary A4 paper. The simple binding does not give any texture when held in the hand. It can only be said to be readable.
Because the expectations were not high, the Chinese medicine doctors present did not have too many requirements for the binding and just wanted to flip through it casually.
After reading a few lines, their expressions changed in exactly the same way.
From being careless just now, he became focused and serious.
As he watched, Vice President Huang of the Chinese Medicine Association suddenly spoke excitedly.
"I have some impression of this case. One year, I went on a trip to the south with my family and stayed at a local family's house. At that time, I heard the family talk about how an old Chinese doctor came here many years ago and cured their old lady's rheumatism-induced bone deformation. In the photos of the old lady before, her spine was deformed and her back was bulging, and she couldn't stand straight. When I saw the old lady in person, her back was straight. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that a case of severe spinal deformation caused by rheumatism could actually be cured.
"I asked them to show me the prescriptions and treatment methods left by the old Chinese doctor. However, because it's been so long and his family didn't keep it properly, the note he left behind was gnawed by rats in several places, and the prescriptions are incomplete. I thought I would regret it for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see the complete version today."
"Which one? Let me see it." Other Chinese medicine doctors rushed to take a look.
At this time, another Chinese medicine doctor also said, "I also saw a familiar one. This prescription for treating eye diseases, I saw it in a private clinic. I heard from the doctor there that it was a prescription taught to him by an old Chinese medicine doctor who traveled around. He has become a well-known professional eye doctor with this prescription."
There are currently two cases, both of which are related to a traveling old Chinese medicine doctor. Vice President Huang couldn't help but wonder, could this old Chinese medicine doctor be the Doctor Zhou that Mr. Yang mentioned?
Vice President Huang felt that this was very likely. Even if it was not the same person, the quality of this medical book was beyond doubt.
He couldn't wait for such an excellent medical book to be published.
"When will Doctor Zhou's book be published?"
"There are several volumes in total. I don't think they're all finished."
"Is this the only one you brought today? Do you have any others?"
The Chinese medicine doctors talked to each other, asking Yang Yanwen excitedly and anxiously.
Yang Yanwen: "Even if you ask me, I can't answer. You should ask Doctor Zhou's apprentice. She is the one who organizes Doctor Zhou's notes."
"Did the little girl compile all of this by herself? No one else helped?" Tang Qing, the successor of the imperial physician, asked in surprise. The level of compilation of this medical book was far beyond her age.
Yang Yanwen said proudly, "Doctor Zhou only has this one disciple. Besides her, who else has the opportunity to access Doctor Zhou's treatment notes?"
"The young girl has achieved such a high level at such a young age. I can't help but feel inferior to her. It's true that the younger generation surpasses the older generation. I haven't even asked for her name yet."
Bai Jiesui politely said that he had won the prize, and then announced his own name.
Huang Xing'an: "Miss Bai, how many of your master's notes are left to be sorted out?"
Bai Jiesui: "My master left behind quite a lot of notes, a total of hundreds of volumes, as well as some random essays, and the medical books he collected. All together, there are thousands of volumes. It will take some time to sort them all out, but I have already sorted out some of them. I will contact the publishing house to publish them."
They were shocked by the number of Dr. Zhou's notes, but were also very grateful to have so many good things.
But some of them waited.
Huang Xing'an: "That's good. I can only ask Miss Bai to work harder and sort it all out as soon as possible."
Tang Qing: "I've learned a lot from just flipping through a few pages. Please let me know when it's officially published. I want to buy such an excellent medical book as soon as possible and study it carefully."
His words were immediately echoed by others.
"I can't be left out. I want to pre-order two copies too."
"Miss Bai, please inform us when your master's medical skills are published."
When everyone was discussing heatedly, without any warning, a strong voice broke the atmosphere.
"What kind of medical book is so good? I wonder if you can let us take a look at it."
Two people came into the meeting hall, a middle-aged young man of medium height, followed by a short old man.
Both of them were strangers, and Vice President Huang pushed his glasses.
"Who are you two?"
The middle-aged man straightened his suit and introduced himself politely with a smile, "We are from the island country. My name is Pan Xiaoyi, and this is Mr. Shendao, a famous Chinese medicine doctor in the island country. We were all invited by Mrs. Zong."
