Hua Fushu said stubbornly, "It doesn't count as crying if the tears don't fall."
The Huo family master said: "You said you didn't cry, so you didn't cry."
Hua Fushu asked the head of the Huo family a question, "Brother Huo, am I not good enough in my studies?"
The Huo family head asked, "Xiaohua, do you know why your name was among the top 20 on the Xinglin Medical Ranking?"
Hua Fushu shook his head.
The Huo family head said seriously, "Back then, the city lord wanted to place you after the 20th on the Xinglin Medical Ranking. She said that you were so young, and if you were in the top 20, you might get carried away and not focus on your medical skills. But the old city lord Mu and his gang disagreed. They said that your medical skills were top-notch among the younger generation. Moreover, although you are young, you are diligent and hardworking, and you are not impatient. In your teens, you have rushed to disaster areas and epidemic areas to treat patients and save lives. You care about the world. The medical world needs fresh blood like you. It needs people like you to set an example and lead those who learn to carry forward the medical skills."
He stroked Hua Fushu's shoulder and said, "Xiaohua, don't underestimate yourself. Remember, you made it into the top 20 of the Xinglin Medical Ranking not because City Lord Mu and his gang spoke for you, nor because someone wanted to curry favor with your master. You made it into the top 20 of the Xinglin Medical Ranking entirely because of your own strength. Looking across the Xinglin world, is there anyone as knowledgeable and proficient as you? Of course, your master doesn't count. The Nine Acupuncture Points of the Golden Needle that you invented is comparable to the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles. It's not your fault that you couldn't save that patient."
The head of the Huo family took out a piece of licorice candy from his sleeve and handed it to Hua Fushu. "Everyone will encounter some setbacks in their life, and the practice of medicine is no different. You have studied medicine for more than ten years, haven't you suffered enough? How can you be so discouraged by not being able to save a patient? Hua Fushu, regain your confidence. There are still people who need your treatment. Don't bring shame to our Lanling."
Hua Fushu held the licorice candy in his mouth and nodded obediently like a child, "Yeah."
The Huo family head asked, "I heard from your grandmother that you have learned the acupuncture technique passed down from the Ouyang Supreme family. How is your learning going?"
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "I have it all under my control."
The Huo family master said: "This is the young master of Lanling."
Hua Fushu asked, "Brother Huo, how is my great-uncle?"
The Huo family head said truthfully, "After my brother's treatment, your old uncle has been lucid more often and recognizes his family members. He's no different from an ordinary person. He became mentally ill because he couldn't let go of that old incident. I've treated what I needed to treat. The rest is up to him."
Hua Fushu stood up and bowed to the head of the Huo family, "Fushu would like to thank Brother Huo."
The Huo family master accepted her gift as a matter of course. "The Ouyang family paid for the consultation, and you have to pay for the errands."
Hua Fushu said, "Talking about silver is too vulgar. You don't need that few taels of silver."
The Huo family master said, "You don't have to pay the money, just use the nine golden needles as collateral."
"That's my signature skill, never passed on to anyone else. If you want to learn it, you can exchange it for the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, a family heirloom from your Huo family." Hua Fushu wasn't surprised. Brother Huo had been coveting her Nine Acupuncture Points Golden Needle for years, and if she didn't exchange it for something valuable, she would be at a disadvantage.
The Huo family master gritted his teeth and said, "Deal."
Hua Fushu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Let's learn from each other some other day."
The Huo family master agreed and asked about his sister's husband, "Where is your husband? I haven't even met him yet."
Hua Fushu said, "I can't see him either. He's in Mr. Kong's private school, which is also a blocked area."
The Huo family master asked, "Aren't you going to see him?"
Hua Fushu said, "Go again when you have time."
With the support of other doctors, the doctors in the quarantined area could relax a bit, have some time to rest and relieve their fatigue. However, facing the plague and the patients, they never relaxed. Every day, people were carried out and carried in from the critical care isolation area, some fell down, and some stood up.
The prescription prescribed by Doctor Li was not suitable for all seriously ill patients. He led several doctors to develop a new prescription for several consecutive nights, and finally came up with a new prescription that was more suitable for special patients.
The critical care isolation area was admitting more and more patients, leaving Doctor Li and his team stretched thin. They negotiated with the King of Qin to send more doctors into the area to help treat the patients. Qin Youran approached Doctor Liu and his team, asking if they were willing to enter the intensive care isolation area.
Hua Fushu volunteered to go to the quarantine area. The Huo family master pulled her away and said to the King of Qin, "Your Highness, I am willing to go, but my little sister Hua will not go. There are several pregnant women in the epidemic area who are about to give birth. If they are about to give birth, there will be no one to deliver them. My little sister Hua is available outside to deliver babies at any time."
Qin Youran nodded and said, "Master Huo is right. Madam Ye, you'd better not go. I will have a hard time explaining this to General Ye."
Hua Fushu lowered her eyes slightly, "Your Highness the Prince of Qin is right. I will not go."
Liu Shiba said, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, this old minister will go with Master Huo."
Qin Youran nodded, Mu Qing came to find Qin Youran, and Qin Youran and Mu Qing walked away.
The head of the Huo family looked at Hua Fushu and saw that she had a slightly unhappy expression, so he said earnestly, "Sister, Brother Huo admits that I had selfish motives in not letting you go to the quarantine zone. You are a rare talent in the Xinglin Realm and will make a difference in the Xinglin Realm in the future. The quarantine zone is too dangerous. We old ones are not dead yet, so there is no reason to let you young people go. Let us old ones take the limelight, and I will let you young people go next time."
Liu Shiba also said, "Xiaojiu, your brother Huo is thinking of you and cherishing your talent. If anything happens to you, it will be a great loss to our medical community. You young people have good physical strength, and there are many patients in the epidemic area. You will be busy enough. Be obedient and don't go. We will let you come over to help if we need you."
Hua Fushu had no choice but to obey the words of the two seniors.
At this time, someone came to find Liu Shiba and said that the wife of an official had abdominal pain for a day and had not given birth yet. There were signs of difficult labor, and she specifically asked Doctor Liu to assist the woman in giving birth.
Liu Shiba dragged the person to Hua Fushu's presence and said, "This Miss Nineteen is a midwife. Let her go with you to help the lady at the mansion. I'm busy. I have to treat the patients in the quarantine area with Doctor Li Huaichun."
"Nineteen, go with him." Liu Shiba turned and walked away.
Hua Fushu called Nanxing and followed the man to deliver the baby.
When Hua Fushu arrived, she found out that the woman who was about to give birth was a member of the Kong family, the granddaughter-in-law of the old chief priest Kong. She and Nanxing followed the Kong family's steward to the inner courtyard. At this time, the painful moans of the woman in labor were heard from the delivery room, and Hua Fushu could not help but quicken her pace.
A group of women and daughters-in-law were guarding outside the delivery room. The woman in the lead was middle-aged, with a round face and plain clothes. She looked at the delivery room from time to time, looking quite impatient.
Hua Fushu had never met the Kong family, but he could probably guess the identity of this woman. Mr. Kong had only one son, so this woman should be Mr. Kong's daughter-in-law, Xie.
