"Self-taught?"
"Can this be learned on your own?"
Mo Chaoyang found it a bit unbelievable and naturally didn't believe Su Zhengnan's explanation.
After all, there aren't many people who know how to perform the Zhuyou technique these days, so even if you learn it on your own, you don't have a source of knowledge!
How can you learn on your own if you don't even have a source of knowledge?
Is it possible to learn something without a teacher?
Su Zhengnan smiled but didn't continue the conversation, because he knew that knowledge was something that couldn't be explained clearly, so it was better to let his senior brother guess it himself.
"Second Senior Brother, you didn't see it. When Junior Brother took out the yellow paper talisman, I thought he was performing a shamanic ritual!"
Fifth Senior Brother Li Huai'an was still recounting the scene of Su Zhengnan's previous consultation, muttering, "Who knew that after the patient drank that talisman water, he actually calmed down? It's truly miraculous!"
"Oh, really?"
Mo Chaoyang stared wide-eyed at Su Zhengnan with a look of curiosity.
Li Huai'an nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. I was dumbfounded at the time. If I hadn't known that my junior brother was using traditional Chinese medicine incantation techniques, I would have really suspected that he had become a charlatan."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengnan quickly interjected, "Fifth Senior Brother, don't exaggerate so much. Zhu You Shu isn't as exaggerated as you make it out to be."
"hehe!"
Li Huai'an chuckled and nodded, saying, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's eat first."
The three senior brothers chatted and laughed while eating dinner, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After finishing their meal, the group left the restaurant.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan returned to the Beijing Film Academy in the car of his fifth senior brother, Li Huai'an.
As for the second senior brother, Mo Chaoyang, he has a car to pick him up, so Su Zhengnan and the other two don't need to worry about him.
"Senior brother, drive carefully on the way back."
After getting out of the car, Su Zhengnan smiled slightly at Li Huai'an.
Li Huai'an smiled and nodded, then stepped on the gas and drove away.
Watching the taillights of the departing car disappear into the distance, Su Zhengnan stepped through the gates of the Beijing Film Academy and headed towards the school clinic.
Ring ring!
It was at this moment.
His phone suddenly rang.
Su Zhengnan took out his phone and saw that it was Liu Yifei calling. He immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hey girl, what's up with calling me so late?"
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that I'm taking leave to go back to Beijing the day after tomorrow."
Liu Yifei replied with a smile on the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengnan couldn't help but ask curiously, "You're back the day after tomorrow? I remember the school anniversary celebration doesn't start until the 5th, right? Won't your return on the 3rd delay the filming schedule?"
Liu Yifei smiled slightly and said, "No, we've already filmed almost half of the scenes. The next few days are all for Brother Xiaoyao and the others, so I can take a few more days off."
"Oh, I see!"
Su Zhengnan nodded and smiled, "Then that means you can rest for a few more days, which is pretty good."
"Hehe, of course."
Liu Yifei smiled happily, and then asked, "Brother Su, are you free the day after tomorrow? Let's have a meal together when I get back!"
Su Zhengnan thought for a moment and said, "I might not be free the day after tomorrow. I have to go back to my hometown tomorrow and probably won't be back until the day after tomorrow."
"Then how about the day after tomorrow, when you come back?" Liu Yifei said with a smile.
"You absolutely have to have a meal with me, right?"
Su Zhengnan couldn't help but laugh, and then nodded in agreement, "Okay, then it'll be the night after tomorrow. I'll call you when I get back."
"Then it's settled."
"Okay, it's settled then."
After chatting for a few more minutes, the two hung up the phone.
Putting away his phone, Su Zhengnan went into the school clinic. After returning to his dormitory, he tidied up and then booked a high-speed rail ticket to go back to his hometown for the next day.
...............
The next day, very early in the morning!
Su Zhengnan got up early, washed up, ate breakfast, and then headed to the Beijing Railway Station to board the high-speed train back to his hometown.
Six hours later.
Su Zhengnan took the high-speed train back to his hometown, the capital of Ganjiang Province, and then took a three-hour bus ride back to Jiangzhou City.
After that, I took a taxi back to my hometown in the countryside.
It took about ten hours in total.
Transportation at this time was far less developed than it would be in the future. If it were ten or twenty years from now, it is estimated that at least half the time could be saved.
When Su Zhengnan dragged his suitcase back to his hometown, it was almost 7 p.m.
The sun had already set, and since there were no streetlights in the countryside, everything looked rather dim.
Looking at the ordinary single-story brick house in front of him, Su Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh softly, and dragged his suitcase inside.
As soon as he entered, Su Zhengnan saw a woman who looked to be around fifty years old eating. The familiar figure made him pause slightly, and a strange yet familiar feeling from his memory instantly came over him.
For a moment, Su Zhengnan stood there stunned, and it took him a long time to open his mouth and utter a single sentence.
"Mom, I'm home."
Snap!
The woman dropped her chopsticks on the table, then turned to look at Su Zhengnan and stood up excitedly.
"Zhengnan is back! Have you eaten? Are you hungry? Come on, sit down and have something to eat first!"
As she spoke, Luo Xiuning got up and took out a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Su Zhengnan put down his luggage, walked to the table, and sat down. He looked around and everything in front of him was so familiar, yet so strange.
However, his memories soon overlapped with the scene before him.
Su Zhengnan glanced at Luo Xiuning and smiled, "Thank you, Mom!"
As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily, feeling the warmth of home.
The original owner's mother was named Luo Xiuning. She was almost fifty years old and had a lot of gray hair.
But now the other party is also his mother.
While eating, Su Zhengnan observed his mother's condition and found that she seemed somewhat exhausted, and the white hair on her head seemed to indicate that her physical functions were declining.
However, this condition should still be treatable; gray hair can be completely corrected with Polygonum multiflorum.
After thinking for a moment, Su Zhengnan asked his mother, Luo Xiuning, "Mom, where's Dad? I haven't seen him."
Luo Xiuning glanced at him and said, "Your dad is working out of town and hasn't come back yet!"
Su Zhengnan nodded and didn't ask any more questions, because he remembered that his father, Su Mulong, should be working on a construction site in Shanghai at this time, and would only come back during holidays.
After finishing his meal, he helped his mother clear the table.
Then, Su Zhengnan looked at his mother and said, "Mom, give me your hand, let me take your pulse!"
"ah?"
Luo Xiuning was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react.
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that your son is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? Let me take a look at your father first, and then I'll talk to you about other things!"
"Okay, fine!"
Luo Xiuning nodded and extended her right hand, looking somewhat worried!
Su Zhengnan placed three fingers on his mother's wrist, his brow furrowing slightly as he asked, "Mom, have you been feeling palpitations and shortness of breath lately, and sometimes even dizziness?"
Luo Xiuning nodded and said, "Yes, how did you know?"
“Your son can still spot this little problem, but don’t worry, it’s not a big deal. I’ll get you some medicine to drink for a while and you’ll be fine.”
Su Zheng'an said with a smile, but in fact, his mother's health condition was more serious than he had imagined.
Weak pulse, pale complexion, dry and dull skin...
This is a clear case of qi and blood deficiency.
This indicates that Luo Xiuning's body is prone to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, blurred vision, insomnia, and forgetfulness.
Fortunately, Su Zhengnan had a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs as rewards from the system, and they were all of high quality, which was more than enough to cure his mother's illness.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"
Luo Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her son would discover something serious wrong with her, and that Su Zhengnan would worry about her health.
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly, then took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to his mother, saying:
"Mom, take this card. There's 500,000 yuan in it. Call Dad later and tell him to come back. Don't go out to work on the construction site anymore."
The reason Su Zhengnan chose to give 500,000 instead of 5 million was mainly because he was afraid that if he gave too much at once, his mother would not be able to accept it with peace of mind.
Giving 500,000 yuan upfront won't be too much, but it'll be enough to change the family's current financial situation.
"Huh? Five hundred thousand?"
Luo Xiuning was stunned for a moment, looking at him with a shocked expression and said, "Where did you get so much money? Did you do something bad?"
"Mom, what are you thinking? Your son is a doctor now, this money is a legitimate salary!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and quickly explained, "Your son earns more than that in a year now, so just take it without worry!"
Upon hearing Su Zhengnan say this...
Luo Xiuning accepted the bank card with relief, but still said with some concern, "If we give this money to you, son, will you still have money to spend? Don't be stingy with your money while you're out there!"
"Don't worry, Mom, I can make money now, and I make far more than you can imagine."
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, then stood up and said, "I'll go and get your medicine first. You can brew it yourself and drink it twice a day after meals. Remember that?"
"I understand, I've got it."
Luo Xiuning nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan dragged his suitcase back to his room and took out the Chinese herbal medicines that the system had rewarded him with.
There are century-old wild ginseng, millennium-old he shou wu, as well as angelica, rehmannia, and so on.
Su Zhengnan took out some of the medicinal herbs, prepared them according to the prescription, wrapped them up, and handed them to his mother, Luo Xiuning, before leaving.
"These medicines should last you about a month. Call me when you run out and I'll send you more."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
With tears in her eyes, Luo Xiuning gently held Su Zhengnan's hand and said with great emotion, "Son, you've really grown up."
Su Zhengnan smiled and comforted his mother, and then the two chatted about some trivial family matters.
And just like that, the day passed.
At night, Su Zhengnan lay resting in his bedroom, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
His younger sister, Su Xiaorou, is two years younger than him and got married a year ago, so she doesn't live here.
Perhaps we should lend a hand to my sister too!
After all, he only has one younger sister.
After thinking for a moment, Su Zhengnan took out his phone and called his younger sister, Su Xiaorou, asking her to come back to her parents' home the next day.
