"Xiao Chu, tell me honestly, is it really true that science can't explain Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
After the meal, Uncle Wang didn't let Li Chu leave, but instead led him into the study.
"Many phenomena are indeed inexplicable, such as meridians, essence, qi and spirit. These are things that cannot be seen or touched in the human body, but they are real in the eyes of us practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine."
Leaving aside the human body, even Chinese herbal medicines are very particular about how they are harvested. If the herbs are used as medicine from the roots, they must be harvested when the plant is about to sprout, because when they are about to sprout, the roots have accumulated a lot of energy and contain the most essence, or medicinal power.
Or it can be picked when the plant has withered, at which point all its essence is stored in the root. However, no matter when you pick the herb, if you take it for testing, its components will be the same, but after it is used as medicine, its effects will be very different.
How can this be explained? There's no way to explain it. Even if you asked me to explain it, I couldn't make sense of it. But that's just how it is, the result of experience accumulated by generations of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
There's a reason why Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has survived for thousands of years. Our task is to pass this skill down, not let it be destroyed in our generation.
The two talked in the study for an hour. Uncle Wang wanted to continue the conversation, but Li Chu refused.
This morning, because of Uncle Wu's matter, these old comrades were all under a lot of mental stress. Although they seemed fine on the surface, they were actually quite tired.
We can talk about this anytime; it doesn't have to be tonight.
He didn't get home until after eight o'clock in the evening.
"Why did you drink again today?" Ding Qiunan smelled a faint smell of alcohol on her husband as she helped him take off his coat.
"Yes, I had a couple of drinks with Uncle Wang."
"Are you all alone at home?" Li Chu looked at the empty living room and felt a little strange. Even the dogs were gone except for Bajie and Dasheng. They were too old to move.
"Xiao Yi somehow got hold of a few videotapes from Hong Kong and Taiwan. They're all watching them there, but I don't like watching those violent videos, so I didn't go."
"Wang Jun and Qiaoyun went there too?"
"Um"
"I knew it! There wasn't a sound from the front yard when I came in just now."
Li Chu walked over and sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance, feeling very comfortable.
He was also a bit nervous because of Uncle Wu today, and he only felt a little tired when he got home.
Ding Qiunan walked behind the sofa and reached out to gently massage her husband's temples.
"What's wrong today? You seem a little tired."
"I was tense all afternoon, no wonder I'm tired." Li Chu leaned back on the sofa, enjoying his wife's gentle massage, and recounted what had happened at noon.
"I was wondering why you went to the sanatorium, and Lao Du rushed back."
"Hmm? Old Du went back around dinnertime?"
"Yes, we were in line for food when he came back."
"Hehe! He probably saw that I left in a hurry and was worried that I might need our help, so he went back without eating. Okay, honey, stop massaging now. I'm going to take a shower. I sweated a lot at noon and felt really uncomfortable."
“Go ahead! Oh, by the way, Xiao’e came by earlier and said that Da Mao and the others left this afternoon.”
"Them? Who else?"
"Yu Shui and his wife went along with them."
"Sigh~ He's ruined such a good life." Li Chu sighed, shook his head, and walked into the bathroom.
Xu Damao made this trip to repay the favor He Yuzhu had done for their family.
Those who knew him gave him a thumbs up, praising him for his loyalty.
But Li Chu understood that Xu Damao was not feeling comfortable and was not simply trying to repay a favor.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.
He and He Yuzhu grew up in the same courtyard, so their fights behind closed doors were their own business. Now that one of them ran away and died far from home, it's no wonder the other one is heartbroken.
When he finished showering and put on his pajamas, Sun Jianjun was sitting in the living room drinking water.
"Heh, you've finally shown up after disappearing for so long."
"Brother Chu, I've got a mission."
When did you get back?
"I just got back this morning. I've traveled to most parts of our country, and I'm almost exhausted."
"Resolved?"
"It's resolved, all of it is resolved, including the case of the Fu family, but I can't go into the details of the case."
"It's nothing," Li Chu waved his hand dismissively. "As long as I know the result, I'm not interested in the process."
"By the way, will there be any long-term effects from Jianjun?"
"Don't worry, this time it was resolved quite thoroughly, otherwise we wouldn't have taken so long to get here."
"That's good. You should know the Lou family; they're Xu Damao's father-in-law's family."
“Yes, I know, their family is like the Fu family.” Sun Jianjun nodded.
"Yes, the same goes for him. So when the Fu family had their accident, coupled with the unexpected incident in Shanghai, Old Master Lou was very worried. He didn't dare to go back to his own home for a while and moved to Xu Damao's place instead."
"Now you can rest assured, there will be absolutely no future troubles."
"That's good. He'll be very happy to know this. It's just a pity for Old Master Fu and that person from Shanghai."
"Who would have thought that after so many years, those people would still try to target them? Especially in Shanghai, those people made the case look too much like an accident. If we hadn't insisted on investigating it as murder, we probably wouldn't have gotten any results."
Sun Jianjun still feels lingering fear when he talks about this. He used extraordinary means for this extraordinary event. If he still couldn't find out the truth after all that, his career would be over, and no one could protect him.
Even so, he still received a major demerit.
There's no way around it; we have to do it for certain people.
"Are you injured?" Li Chu suddenly asked Sun Jianjun.
Ding Qiunan, who was knitting a sweater next to him, looked up when she heard this.
"Huh? You could tell that?"
"Nonsense, if I still couldn't tell after you've had surgery, I might as well quit being a doctor."
"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm almost healed. I just got stabbed in the abdomen."
"Come into the study, let me take a look." Li Chu said, standing up.
"It's really alright, brother."
"Stop talking nonsense, come when I tell you to."
I was stabbed in July and had a section of my intestine removed. I've almost fully recovered, but because I haven't been able to rest properly, my body is severely depleted.
"I'll get you some medicine later. Drink it when you get back, twice a day for ten days."
