Chapter 353 A Lady Cui Arrives in Yunzhou City
"I once had a friend who was a doctor with great medical skills. Later, he traveled around the world and left behind many medical books. I carefully sorted them out and had them copied. Since I came across them, I gave some to the doctor as a gift."
Cui Si smiled and explained, "Doctor, don't take this to heart. Studying medicine and making medicine are meant to save lives and benefit the people. It would be a shame if you kept it to yourself."
"If this book is useful to you, doctor, it would be a great favor. Even though you two don't know each other, you can still learn from each other's experiences."
Doctor Lin had never thought that someone would do such a kind deed. He was stunned when he heard it: "Is it really a gift to me?"
Cui Si nodded and said, "I didn't just give you one. If I meet a good doctor with a copy, I'll give it to him. Just think of it as me not wanting to bury my friend's book or put it away."
"The world is vast, and travel is slow. News from different places is hard to come by. Even if you doctors wanted to share your experiences and learn from each other, it would be difficult. I also want to do some good deeds to accumulate blessings for my children."
Cui Si had said so much, so Doctor Lin naturally did not refuse. He stood up and bowed, saying, "Then I would like to thank you, my lady. You are so kind."
After saying that, he curiously opened a book called "Jiang Nian's Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases". When he opened it, he saw three treatment methods for a type of case listed on it. After a glance, his face finally changed, and then his face became redder and redder with excitement.
He had also treated this disease before. One of the treatments was familiar to him, but the other two were unheard of, and the medicines used were also very sophisticated.
"This...this book...is amazing..."
He originally thought that Cui Si just wanted to do a good deed, and the so-called medical book was just something that ordinary doctors would know. He never thought that it was indeed not an ordinary thing. Every time he opened a page, he would want to study it carefully.
The former is an ordinary medical book, which is valuable but not expensive. However, if it is really a record of a famous doctor, it would be valuable. These people have never been able to see it in their entire lives.
"Madam, are you really going to give this book to me?" Doctor Lin felt that the book was a bit heavy, and for a moment he felt uneasy and did not dare to accept it.
"Of course, it's useless in my hands. If this book is useful to you and can save more people in the future, it will be a great act of kindness. You don't have to thank me. I'm doing this for my friends, for the people, and even more for myself."
"Since you've benefited, no matter what your original intention was, you should be grateful." Doctor Lin smiled and looked at Cui Si with a gentle gaze. "Saving the dying and healing the wounded is my duty. If I can use it in the future, it will be a good deed. If it is a merit, it will naturally belong to you."
"What's your name, lady?"
"My family name is Cui."
"Madam Cui, my last name is Lin, and I work at the Xinglin Clinic in the city." Doctor Lin introduced himself to her and then said, "If Madam Cui needs a consultation later, please send for me. Apart from anything else, there are only two people in Yunzhou City whose medical skills can rival mine."
Doctor Lin is over fifty years old this year. Learning medicine is a skill passed down from his ancestors. Since he was three years old, when he was still unable to go to school, he followed his father to dry medicinal herbs. Later, he learned to read and write while learning medicine, and started to see patients at the age of sixteen.
Although he is not as smart and talented as Jiang Cinian, he has studied medicine diligently and has treated countless patients over the years. He has rich experience and insights in medicine.
This is how most ordinary people study medicine. They only succeed after their beards turn white.
This old doctor Lin's medical skills are naturally good. When Liu Chun went to ask for a doctor, he naturally made some inquiries and invited the one with the best medical skills.
Cui Si was also looking for a good and reliable doctor, so she nodded immediately when she heard this: "Then I'll trouble you. By the way, please come over when I give birth."
"Okay." Doctor Lin agreed immediately. He carefully placed the medical book in the medicine box, wrote down a few medicinal recipes, and hurried away.
He wants to go back and take a closer look at the medical book.
Cui Si asked Song Lu and Liu Chun to see her off, while she got up and walked a few steps. She had slept for so long and needed to take a walk.
......
When Doctor Lin was in the carriage, he took out the medical book and started reading. The more he read, the more fascinated he became. He didn't even realize when he would return to Xinglin Medical Clinic.
After getting off the carriage, he went straight to the yard behind the clinic.
"Anian, take a look at this book. It describes the preparation techniques of some medicinal herbs. I think it's well written. Come and take a look."
At this time in the yard, a man in a dark blue, wide-sleeved gown was sitting by a stove watching the fire. He was sitting on a low stool, reading a book in his hand. The fire was burning brightly, and the medicine soup in the pot was bubbling.
A strange fragrance came out from the medicine jar, smelling like orchids and plum blossoms, but it seemed not to be the fragrance of flowers, but the fragrance of medicine.
"What is this? What new and novel method have you used to prepare medicinal herbs?"
The young man raised his head, revealing a handsome, youthful, and quite ordinary face. He smiled when he heard the words, "Old doctor, now that you're back, I'll just give it a try and see if this medicine works."
Doctor Lin shook his head. "You young people just have so many ideas. I'm old and can't get them. But it's okay. With you younger generations, maybe we can prepare better herbs. Maybe some incurable diseases can be cured."
"But, before you know the efficacy of the medicine, you must not give it to others, let alone try it yourself."
Doctor Lin was very supportive of the younger generation's behavior. In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and realized that different herbs had different uses. Later, the category of "herbs" came into being, and there were effective medicines for treating diseases.
From ancient times to the present, thanks to the attempts of our ancestors, various skills in preparing medicinal materials and prescriptions have emerged. Now, their generation is also walking on this path, hoping to leave more things for future generations and save more lives in the future.
The other party nodded: "Don't worry, I know."
Doctor Lin handed over a book and said, "A lady named Cui came from Yunzhou City. I just went to check her pulse. She gave this to me as a gift. She said it was a handwritten copy of a medical book left by a friend of hers."
"Friend, a gift?" The man took the book and saw the words "Jiang Nian's Medicine Method" written on it.
Jiang Nian?
Who is Jiang Nian?
Who is Madam Cui?
Doctor Lin said, "That's right. Madam Cui said it was left by a friend of hers. She couldn't bear to put it away, so she thought of copying some and giving them to doctors all over the world, hoping they would be useful. She gave me a few copies, and I think this one might be useful to you, so I'll show it to you first."
"Mrs. Cui is a kind and good girl!"
