Chapter 161 Chapter 161 Legend about him
Xu Yunfan didn't care after being scolded for no reason. As long as the child's fever was gone, it was fine. "He fainted this morning due to a high fever..."
After describing the child's condition in detail, Xu Yunfan asked, "I'm worried that my treatment wasn't good enough. Doctor, could you please take another look? I'm afraid he's having a recurring fever."
After carefully examining the child again, Doctor Meng said, "Don't worry, the child's hunger and fever have subsided. If you're worried, just stay here for a while."
The child was fine, and Doctor Meng was relieved. Then he remembered what the man had said just now, "You said you treated the child?"
Doctor Meng studied Xu Yunfan carefully. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he exclaimed, "You are Xu Yunfan, right? The specially appointed arithmetic teacher at Qingfeng Academy?"
"It's me. Do you know me?" Xu Yunfan also breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to tidy up the wrinkled clothes on the child.
Doctor Meng nearly jumped for joy. "I know him. I've heard all about Doctor Xu. Doctor Xu, you're amazing! You're so capable at such a young age."
Although Xu Yunfan only made a few moves, which one of them was not shocking enough?
For this reason, Dr. Meng did not exaggerate the facts.
In Doctor Meng's eyes, Xu Yunfan was not a teacher, but a doctor like himself.
The fact that a doctor in his forties who was well-known in the town could call a person with no medical skills a doctor showed that Dr. Meng gave Xu Yunfan enough face and recognized his ability.
Xu Yunfan felt awkward being called "doctor." He rubbed the back of his head and said modestly, "No, no, I'm just a little bit good."
Doctor Meng had been to Qingfeng Academy several times before, but he returned with regret every time. Today, he finally met the person. How could Doctor Meng let him go? He pulled Xu Yunfan aside and asked him many questions that he had been puzzled about and wanted to ask for a long time.
After asking all the questions, he realized how wrong he was. There were some questions he could ask, but asking some other questions would make him look like he was trying to steal someone else's knowledge.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yunfan answered all his questions without reservation.
Now, Doctor Meng was even happier.
The fact that Xu Yunfan could answer his question was enough to prove that Xu Yunfan did not hide anything, but really said as he asked Dean Jiang to tell him, "I am very happy to communicate with Doctor Meng. For me, I hope that medical skills will not be a private ability. It should not be bound by blood or surname. It should be something that can benefit the people. I am very happy to pass on what I have learned to more people."
When Jiang Lanfang conveyed this to him on behalf of Xu Yunfan, Doctor Meng was very happy, but then he couldn't help but wonder if Xu Yunfan was just saying nice things.
Now that Xu Yunfan answered all his questions one by one, Dr. Meng really believed it. This man really was not someone who said one thing and did another.
The child had just recovered from a fever and was probably tired. He was silent and sleeping soundly. Even so, because there was someone sleeping next to him, Xu Yunfan subconsciously lowered his voice and answered Dr. Meng's questions one by one.
After Xu Yunfan finished answering, Dr. Meng was deeply inspired and felt as if he had suddenly realized something.
There was so much knowledge to absorb that it took Dr. Meng two quarters of an hour to write down and digest it.
"This is not your child." Doctor Meng said with certainty. He heard that Xu Yunfan did not have any children yet.
If Meng Da hadn't said it, Xu Yunfan would have almost forgotten it.
He slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot about the kid's father."
Sun Mu was on the horse, wanting to get off but unable to. Every time he moved, the horse under his butt started to move, its hooves stepping on the stone slabs with a clattering sound. Sun Mu didn't dare to think about it. If he got off the horse incorrectly, falling would be a minor matter. But if the horse got frightened and hit him with its hoof, wouldn't his bones be broken?
The child had already been taken in by Xu Yunfan. Sun Mu was worried about the child, and the more anxious he became, the more confused he became. He couldn't get off the horse for a long time.
There was no other way. He was afraid of being kicked by the horse, and also afraid that the horse would run away. This fine horse must be worth at least a hundred taels. Even if he sold it, it would not be worth that much.
People are not as valuable as horses?
This is not a joke, but a cruel reality.
Xu Yunfan slapped his thigh and ran out quickly. Seeing the people who couldn't get off their horses, Xu Yunfan sighed in annoyance and wanted to say something, but then he thought, some of the villagers have never seen a horse hair in their entire lives, so how can you expect them to get off their horses?
"Brother Sun, I'll take you down."
As soon as he got off the horse, Sun Mu immediately asked, "Where is the child, Yunfan, is my child..."
"The child is asleep, you don't have to worry. Doctor Meng said his fever has subsided. But, to be on the safe side, let's leave later. I'm afraid he will have a fever again." Xu Yunfan said as he walked Sun Mu inside.
Upon learning that the child's fever had subsided, Sun Mu's heart finally settled down and he replied with several "good"s.
When he saw the child, Sun Mu couldn't help but touch his forehead and his little face. His eyes were red, as if he couldn't touch him enough and couldn't look at him enough.
Doctor Meng knew that Sun Mu was the father of the child, and asked him angrily if he knew why the child had a fever.
Sun Mu suddenly became nervous, like a child who didn't know what mistake he had made. Facing the scolding of adults, he was restless and didn't know the answer to any questions.
He thought the question was a little funny.
If he knew why the child had a fever, he would have taken preventive measures. Why would he let the child suffer?
It is not easy to offend the doctor, so Sun Mu said nothing and just shook his head.
Xu Yunfan coughed deliberately.
Doctor Meng realized that there was something wrong with his tone after he asked this question.
No one wants to get sick, and if they know that doing these things will make them sick, then they will definitely avoid behaviors that may put them at risk.
If they still get sick, it means they don't know it or they can't avoid it.
They are obviously feeling very uncomfortable, but they still have to face the doctor's questions. How can they bear it?
Should I regret it or blame myself...
It’s okay for the doctor to ask about the cause of the disease, and it’s inevitable, but the listener will naturally feel different depending on how the question is asked.
Xu Yunfan thought, maybe he could talk about this with Dr. Meng later.
Doctor Meng was a little embarrassed, so Xu Yunfan asked for him, "Brother Sun, do you remember anything that happened last night that might have caused the child's fever? If we knew, you would be more careful next time. Children are still young and weak, unlike adults. Many medicines are very harmful to children's bodies. Therefore, we must pay attention to any shortcomings and correct them to better prevent such situations from happening again."
Xu Yunfan had clearly explained the consequences and severity of the child's fever. Furthermore, his words were a sign of concern for the child. Even though Sun Mu felt bad, he couldn't help but recall, "It was so hot last night. We undressed the child before bed and left the window open until late at night..."
Xu Yunfan: “…”
Good god! Xu Yunfan almost cursed out loud, but after seeing the self-blaming and guilty look on Sun Mu’s still young face, Xu Yunfan couldn’t bring himself to curse anymore.
Sun Mu is obviously not even twenty years old. In Xu Yunfan's opinion, at this age, he may not be able to be a good father at all and cannot shoulder this heavy responsibility.
But, can some things be measured by age?
It is said that a man's knees are made of gold, and he kneels to heaven, earth, and his parents. It is said that a man does not shed tears easily, but only when he is heartbroken.
Looking at Sun Mu at this moment, Xu Yunfan felt that he had done his best. For the sake of his child, this man had knelt down and begged him twice, and cried in front of him like a helpless child twice.
It is enough to see how important the child is to Sun Mu.
When something happened to the child, he was more anxious and nervous than anyone else. When the child was in pain, he felt no less distressed than Li Hui.
Xu Yunfan thought a lot at once, and couldn't help but think that if he became a father at this age, he didn't know whether he would be able to take on this role.
For many things, no one can do it perfectly from the beginning.
Even the role of a father.
Thinking of this, the anger that was rushing up in my chest suddenly dissipated completely.
Xu Yunfan asked Sun Mu to take good care of the child, and moved to the compartment with Doctor Meng, and told Doctor Meng his thoughts.
After hearing this, Doctor Meng felt very ashamed.
Yes, what patient would be in a good mood when coming to the clinic? Perhaps some people feel heavy-hearted from the moment they enter the clinic.
As doctors, they not only have to treat patients' visible or invisible injuries, but also psychological problems.
From Xu Yunfan's concern for a child who has no blood relationship with him, to his empathy and understanding of Sun Mu's feelings, it seems that no matter how you look at it, Xu Yunfan is more like a doctor than him.
Xu Yunfan was right. As doctors, they cannot say whatever they want. When necessary, they need to change the wording and tone. Otherwise, some words will only increase the other person's psychological burden.
After communicating with Xu Yunfan, Doctor Meng gained a lot and was deeply moved. He even wrote a letter to the capital.
Don't underestimate this letter, which weighs less than a few taels, but the content inside is quite important.
It was also because of Doctor Meng that other doctors in the capital who were on good terms with Doctor Meng spontaneously corrected themselves after agreeing with Xu Yunfan's suggestions.
This change, as well as the medical skills that Professor Xu Yunfan taught Dr. Meng, became extremely popular once they were passed on.
This news even reached the ears of the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
The director of the Imperial Hospital, who was the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, deeply agreed with the suggestion of "caring about the patient's psychology".
After sending someone to inquire, the hospital envoy got the information about Professor Xu Yunfan's medical skills to Doctor Meng, as well as Doctor Meng's envelope.
After reading Doctor Meng's letter, the hospital envoy was greatly shocked. For the imperial physicians, these diseases were difficult to treat, such as those of drowning patients with respiratory arrest, those with abnormal fetal positions, and those who needed to cure snake venom. They were helpless in treating these cases. But now, this letter told them that these cases were actually curable.
At first, the envoy didn't believe it.
It was not until the capital that a woman with an abnormal fetal position actually turned her baby around after learning the method taught by Xu Yunfan.
This matter spread like wildfire and within a few days it reached the ears of the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Now, the hospital envoy could no longer sit still, and ordered people to copy Doctor Meng's letter into several copies, keep one copy, and give the others to other imperial doctors for study.
It can be said that before Xu Yunfan arrived in the capital to show his power, his legend had already spread in the capital.
This legend finally reached the ears of the emperor, who was very pleased.
There are not many people who can share what they have learned and the skills they have acquired without keeping any secrets, and such skills are so powerful. How can the emperor, who loves his people like his own children, not be happy when such a talent appears?
Wow, Xu Yunfan hasn’t even arrived in Beijing, but he has already attracted the attention of the emperor.
It's really incredible.
Discussing medical skills with Doctor Meng, not only Doctor Meng benefited a lot, but Xu Yunfan also gained a lot.
At first, Xu Yunfan didn't know why Dr. Meng was so worried about the child's fever. Later, after communicating with Dr. Meng and learning about the situation, Xu Yunfan was shocked and felt as if there was a lot of air accumulated in his chest that he couldn't expel or suppress.
He didn't know what was going on with this anger, he only knew that he felt very uncomfortable and desperately needed to vent, or make some changes and try his best to prevent such incidents from happening again.
At that moment, he only hated his limited ability. He could recite and write the poem "I wish I had thousands of homes in Guangxia, to shelter all the poor people in the world and make them happy." However, he failed to appreciate the broad mind and concern for the people contained in the poem.
As a young master, his life went smoothly. He also knew that there must be poverty after wealth, but he only saw many things on the electronic screen. Since he was not involved in the matter, as an "outsider", he would inevitably lack the most realistic and real feeling of being in the situation.
I can relate, it's actually a bit funny.
How can you talk about empathy if you haven't experienced other people's experiences and sufferings?
Now, he was holding a child. The tension and the panic and helplessness when the child's breathing stopped briefly almost made him collapse, and he didn't want to experience it again even if he died.
If he didn't know first aid, would the little angel in his arms have no chance to grow up?
If he, an outsider, could be so upset, what about the millions of mothers who have lost their children? How lost and helpless must they be, and how much pain must they be feeling?
Xu Yunfan knew that in order to change this situation where no one treats distant diseases, he had to overturn the current system and rebuild a brand new medical system that would benefit people from all over the world.
If there are more doctors, and real doctors are no longer only found in towns, and if medical stations are established in every large village, then whether it is children or elderly people with limited mobility, whether they live in the village or the town, can they all receive timely treatment when they are sick?
It is precisely because Xu Yunfan cares about the people that when he later attached importance to education and reformed the education system, he established medical schools in various places to train batches of doctors for the Dayan Dynasty, and achieved his wish today of having a medical station in several villages. It is no wonder that the people would support him to the death.
At the same time, it was precisely because he had witnessed so many people's livelihood issues time and time again and had so many feelings that he was able to shine in the Golden Palace the following year and be deeply loved by the emperor.
Of course, there may be a bit of luck involved.
After staying in the clinic for two hours and making sure that the child no longer had a fever, Xu Yunfan took Sun Mu and his son home.
When Xu Yunfan took Sun Mu and his son to the town, the Sun family actually wanted to go and take a look. After all, who could wait at home?
However, the unconscious Li Hui and the shocked and unconscious Grandma and Grandpa also needed care, and all of a sudden, Grandma's and Grandma's parents were too busy to take care of them all.
Every moment at home was torment for them, until the sound of horse hooves came from outside the yard. Sun's father and mother seemed to come alive and rushed out of the yard in the blink of an eye.
When they saw their grandson in their son's arms, the grandson's father and mother covered their faces and cried, and hurried forward.
The grandson who was thought to be gone is sleeping soundly now. His little hands are clenched into fists and his little mouth moves from time to time. It is really adorable.
The grandson's father and mother knew that Xu Yunfan had made an indispensable contribution to their grandson's return.
The two old people were not good at saying nice words, and they only said thank you. Xu Yunfan saved their grandson's life again, and with a thud, the grandson's father and mother knelt down to Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan took a step back, put some distance between them, and helped the man up. "Hurry up and get up. I understand your intentions. You don't have to kneel. Brother Sun Mu has helped me a lot recently, and taking the child to town is within my ability. There's no need to make such a big deal."
"Yes." Grandma wiped the tears from her face. "If it weren't for you, my dear little grandson... You gave him two lives. You can bear it."
Hearing this, Sun Mu hugged his son and rubbed his face against the child's tender and smooth face.
His mother was right. It was true that without him, there would be no child, but it was undeniable that without Xu Yunfan, the child would not have come into this world.
In the past, their relationship with the Qin family was average, and Xu Yunfan had also said that he would not take the initiative to interact with the Li and Sun families.
But if someone really comes to him for help and it involves human life, Xu Yunfan will never refuse.
Today, Sun Mu went to the town with Xu Yunfan, and his mind was full of children. Even so, his ears were not deaf, and Xu Yunfan's repeated calls of "Gee" and his anxious look after getting off the horse all shocked Sun Mu.
The words "my child" made Sun Mu feel much more at ease.
After Xu Yunfan left, his mother took her grandson from Sun Mu, and with great love for him, she quickly carried the child into the house. Only Sun Mu stood in the yard, staring at Xu Yunfan's departing back for a long time.
"How is the child?" Xu Yunfan had just returned to the yard when Qin Run, who heard the noise, ran out, tied the reins to the wooden stake without asking a single question.
Xu Yunfan: "The fever has subsided, and the doctor said it's nothing serious. He just gave a few instructions."
"That's good." Qin Run couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that the child was fine.
Xu Yunfan went to the kitchen to drink some water, then turned to look at the person who had followed him into the kitchen. "Didn't you say you were going to the county town? Why haven't you left yet?"
