Chapter 40 Medical Prodigy Lin Luoxi
Seeing that no smoke was coming out of the kitchen, disappointment was visibly evident in the eyes of Dr. Yang and his grandson.
"Hey, isn't this Panax notoginseng?" Doctor Yang walked over curiously when he saw Lin Luoxi busy in front of the shelves full of herbs.
When Doctor Yang saw the herbs in Lin Luoxi's hand, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Dayou, you know about herbs?" Or has Lin Dayou's family found a doctor who can treat their child?
Otherwise, given how poor his family is, how could they possibly know about herbs? Those are herbs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, herbs that are specifically for his child's symptoms.
"Oh, those were dug up by my daughter. She said someone taught her to recognize herbs in her dream."
“When we brought them back yesterday, we all thought the child was just being playful, digging up these wild vegetables and we wanted to throw them away, but she absolutely refused to give them up, so we could only let her do with them.”
When Madam Lin saw Doctor Yang's question and his glance at her daughter, she immediately understood Lin Luoxi's intention.
Upon hearing Lin Wangshi's words, Doctor Yang felt uncertain and also wanted to know if what she said was true.
Pointing to another herb next to Lin Luoxi, he asked, "Girl, what kind of herb is this?"
He really couldn't believe that this girl, who had been mentally challenged for over ten years, could actually recognize those herbs.
As a doctor, it took him a long time to learn all the herbs when he was studying medicine. How could this silly girl possibly do that?
"This is angelica, which is also a medicinal herb for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis," Lin Luoxi answered under Doctor Yang's questioning gaze.
At the time, this medicinal herb was not within the area that Lin Luoxi was collecting; she prioritized collecting herbs that could treat Lin Wentao.
But thinking of Lin Wangshi's sallow complexion, she knew it was caused by anemia due to years of malnutrition, so Lin Luoxi dug up those angelica plants.
"And this one?" Doctor Yang couldn't see that Lin Luoxi had only glanced at it briefly before answering correctly. While surprised, he continued to ask, unwilling to give up.
“Licorice…” In the end, Lin Luoxi told Doctor Yang all about the functions and effects of licorice and its use in medicine.
"My God, she's a genius!" Doctor Yang exclaimed in astonishment as Lin Luoxi spoke fluently in technical terms he only understood.
"Grandpa, is Lin Luoxi really that amazing?" Yang Xiaofeng, the grandson of Doctor Yang, felt that his grandfather was exaggerating when he saw him praising Lin Luoxi so highly.
Although they lived in the next village, Lin Luoxi had heard about her stupidity and naturally did not believe that this idiot knew any medical skills.
"To be honest, you really can't compare to her." Doctor Yang looked at his grandson with a sharp eye, bluntly hitting the nail on the head.
"Grandpa, you can't be so mean to me. You yourself said that you used to..." Yang Xiaofeng couldn't help but retort when he heard his grandfather's hurtful words.
In his haste, he almost exposed Dr. Yang's secrets, which startled Dr. Yang so much that he quickly covered Yang Xiaofeng's mouth.
"Hehe..." Seeing that everyone in the Lin family was looking at him, Doctor Yang could only laugh awkwardly a few times.
"Girl, do you want to study medicine with me!" He would regret it if such a promising talent were snatched away by someone else right under his nose.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that no one has yet discovered this girl's extraordinary talent and quickly take her as a disciple.
When Lin Luoxi's medical skills become famous, he will also feel proud, and his mantle will be passed on.
Over the years, he has come to realize that his descendants are all mediocre in their medical skills, and it will be difficult for them to make a name for themselves.
"Grandpa, are you serious? You know, she used to be mentally challenged..." Yang Xiaofeng was very excited when he heard his grandfather's words.
“You’re the idiot! My sister isn’t stupid, she’s all better now.” Li Wenqian was the first to stand up and refute Yang Xiaofeng’s comment that Lin Luoxi was stupid.
He didn't care that the other party was Doctor Yang's grandson, his sister; no one could say a word against it.
Moreover, saying it in front of them is even more unacceptable.
Yang Dayou and Lin Wangshi also felt uncomfortable after hearing Yang Xiaofeng's words.
Because Dr. Yang had been kind to their family, they couldn't show it on their faces.
"If you say another word, don't come with me again." Doctor Yang reprimanded Yang Xiaofeng coldly upon hearing his rude words.
"You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure water by its size. So, don't judge a book by its cover. Her talent is far greater than any of yours." Doctor Yang didn't hold back and openly acknowledged Lin Luoxi's abilities.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Yang Xiaofeng's upbringing taught him to admit his mistakes and correct them.
With so many people present, he felt a little embarrassed and could only reluctantly apologize to Lin Luoxi.
"It's okay. I was indeed foolish before, so it's normal for you to doubt my abilities." Lin Luoxi accepted Yang Xiaofeng's doubts calmly. She would prove with her own strength that she wasn't foolish, but rather very capable.
Today, she did this simply to get the money she earned through Dr. Yang's connections, to pass through some legitimate channels.
"Look at my memory! I'll go cook the last fish. Dr. Yang, you'll have to do me the honor of trying my cooking later." Lin Wenqian quickly spoke up when he noticed the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward.
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead!" He came all this way just for a bowl of fish soup.
Strangely enough, when he took the two fish that Lin Luoxi had given him back yesterday and asked the cook to make soup, the fish soup tasted completely different from the fish soup he had at Lin Dayou's house.
There was no other way. He finally made it to dawn and carried his medicine box toward the Lin family.
To everyone's surprise, his gluttonous grandson also insisted on coming, revealing that his grandson had the same goal as him—to freeload at the Lin family's house.
"Dr. Yang, come on, let's go inside and sit for a while." Lin Dayou stepped forward at the right time, breaking the deadlock.
"Okay, let's go and see your third son first."
"Lin family girl, you should come along too!" Since he wanted to take Lin Luoxi as his apprentice, having her watch from the side would be a way for her to learn first.
"Okay!" Lin Luoxi also wanted to see the profound and extensive traditional Chinese medicine that has been passed down from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad, so she quickly followed.
When passing by Yang Xiaofeng, they did not stop or help Yang Xiaofeng carry his medicine box.
Instead, she walked to Dr. Yang's side and gently helped him into the room.
"Oh, girl, although I'm already in my seventies, my legs are still nimble, and I can walk on my own," Doctor Yang said with a smile, refusing Lin Luoxi's offer of assistance.
"Okay!" Without thinking too much, he obediently withdrew his hand and followed closely beside Doctor Yang, telling him about Lin Wentao's condition over the past two days.
Of course, it didn't mention that she gave Lin Wentao acupuncture.
"Sycophant!" Yang Xiaofeng, who was following behind, scoffed at Lin Luoxi's behavior.
