Chapter 41 Yang Xiaofeng's Unconvinced
Lin Luoxi, who was walking ahead with Doctor Yang, naturally heard Yang Xiaofeng's words. She pursed her lips and continued chatting and laughing with Doctor Yang as they walked to Lin Wentao's bedside.
Seeing that Lin Luoxi didn't turn around angrily to argue back, Yang Xiaofeng felt bored and followed her with his medicine box.
As Dr. Yang approached Lin Wentao's bedside, his expression turned serious, and his attitude became very respectful.
Lin Luoxi, with her keen eye, took a wooden stool from the side and placed it next to Doctor Yang's feet, making it convenient for Doctor Yang to sit and take Lin Wentao's pulse.
Dr. Yang looked at the stool at his feet, then at his grandson, and said, "Look at you, you don't even have the same discernment as that girl."
After receiving a disgruntled look from his grandson, he shook his head and carefully took Lin Wentao's pulse.
Yang Xiaofeng had originally wanted to call him a sycophant, but when he saw his grandfather's eyes, he immediately wilted and fell silent.
"Huh!" Doctor Yang took Lin Wentao's pulse and found that Lin Wentao's condition was better than yesterday, which made him even more puzzled.
"Dayou! Tell me the truth, did you hire other doctors to treat your child?"
The doctor who could quickly improve the condition of the living dead must be more skilled than him, and he really wanted to learn from him.
“Um, Master, you know our family situation. How could we possibly afford to hire someone to treat my brother?”
"However, I saw that my younger brother had been lying in bed for several days, and I was worried that if he lay there for too long, his muscles might atrophy or something, so I massaged his body every night..."
Seeing that Lin Dayou couldn't answer, Lin Luoxi was afraid that he would reveal the secret that she was the one who treated him, so she quickly spoke up to help him out.
"Oh, I see!" So that's how it can be done! Now he'll have a better chance of success next time he encounters a patient like this.
As is customary, after taking Lin Wentao's pulse, acupuncture was administered.
Watching Dr. Yang administer acupuncture up close, Lin Luoxi frowned slightly.
She discovered that Dr. Yang was very conservative in choosing acupuncture points, and he dared not needle some dangerous acupuncture points that required acupuncture.
It's not that Dr. Yang didn't apply enough needles, but if he continues with Dr. Yang's conservative treatment, Lin Wentao probably won't wake up for at least three or four years.
If it really takes that long to wake up, given the medical conditions of this era, even if Lin Wentao does wake up, he'll be paralyzed or...
Dr. Yang had just said he wanted to take her as his apprentice, so even if she could see the problem with Dr. Yang's acupuncture, she didn't dare to bring it up and could only say it later!
"Dr. Yang, the fish soup is ready." Just as Dr. Yang removed the silver needles from Lin Wentao's body, Lin Wenqian called out.
"Alright, coming right away." Tempted by the Lin family's fish soup, the grandfather and grandson didn't bother with formalities. After hearing Lin Wenqian say that the fish soup was ready, they spontaneously carried their medicine boxes to the main room to wait.
Yang Xiaofeng also changed his previous defiant attitude and followed Dr. Yang properly, craning his neck to look towards the Lin family's kitchen.
Seeing the grandfather and grandson's expressions, Lin Luoxi couldn't help but laugh; this was exactly the result she wanted.
"Your fish soup is still the best." After finishing another bowl of fish soup, Dr. Yang sighed contentedly.
"By the way, why can't we make fish soup that tastes like yours?" Dr. Yang finally voiced his doubts.
"Probably not. We always cut the fish into pieces and simmer them in an earthenware pot to make soup." Lin Dayou was unaware of the mystery behind it, and after hearing Doctor Yang's words, the doubt on his face seemed genuine to anyone.
Only Lin Luoxi almost couldn't suppress her smile after hearing Doctor Yang's doubts, nearly giving herself away.
"Yes, that's how we always make it." Today, Lin Wenqian personally cooked the fish soup, so he didn't add anything and naturally didn't believe what Doctor Yang said.
"Could it be that we've made a mistake in how we prepared it?" Doctor Yang noticed that Lin Dayou and Lin Wenqian were starting to doubt themselves.
"Grandpa, I think so." Yang Xiaofeng had already been won over by the fish soup and was savoring it carefully, not having time to think about anything else.
"By the way, I meant what I said today about taking Lin Luoxi as my apprentice." After drinking the fish soup, Doctor Yang looked at Lin Dayou with a serious expression.
"Thank you, Dr. Yang. We'll prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow..." It's great that his daughter can become Dr. Yang's apprentice. He believes that with the help of Dr. Yang's apprentice, his daughter's future path will be easier.
"Thank you for your kindness, Dr. Yang. I will definitely be a good apprentice. However, Dr. Yang, could I only learn from you for half a day? I still need to help with chores at home the rest of the time..."
Lin Luoxi already had the ability to study medicine, and she didn't want her identity to hinder her path to wealth.
"Da Ya, why are you talking back? Doctor Yang only took you on as his apprentice because you have some talent. Don't be stubborn..."
"Besides, there's still me and your older brother to take care of things at home. Just focus on learning skills from Doctor Yang..." Lin Dayou started to get anxious when he heard Lin Luoxi's words.
"Okay, but you can only come back after you pass my test..." Doctor Yang didn't force her. Based on his understanding of Lin Luoxi's talent, half a day of study could be equivalent to many days of study for others, such as his grandson.
“Yes, Master, please accept my bow.” Lin Luoxi showed great respect to Doctor Yang, who appeared at the opportune moment, and knelt down before him without hesitation.
"Good, good, I didn't misjudge you." Lin Luoxi knelt down without hesitation. Doctor Yang was very satisfied, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes gathered together as he smiled.
"Hmph!" Yang Xiaofeng couldn't help but snort when he saw Lin Luoxi's actions.
But the thought of having someone to share his grandfather's anger in the future made him start to look forward to it.
Lin Wenqian was very happy that his sister could be accepted as an apprentice by Doctor Yang.
But hearing Yang Xiaofeng's cold snort, she was very unhappy and couldn't help but mutter to herself: I should have just given him a bowl of water to drink. What a waste of his bowl of fish soup.
The Lin family warmly saw Dr. Yang and his grandson off at their door, only returning home when their figures disappeared around the corner leading to the next village.
“Da Ya, you’re really confused. So many people want to be taken on as disciples by Doctor Yang, but he’s refused them all. You’ve finally caught his eye, so why did you say such things…” Back in the courtyard, Lin Dayou couldn’t help but start lecturing Lin Luoxi.
"Honey, do you think your daughter needs to spend all day learning medicine from Doctor Yang?" Before Lin Luoxi could speak, Madam Lin spoke first.
Her daughter treated her third son, and even Dr. Yang was amazed, saying that her daughter's medical skills were good enough to graduate.
