In the blink of an eye.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
These past few days, with few students coming to see the doctor, Su Zhengnan hasn't even been able to complete his most basic daily tasks.
Friday morning!
After his morning exercise and breakfast, Su Zhengnan sat in the clinic and glanced at the task data that had been updated that day.
The data panel displayed:
[Host: Su Zhengnan.]
[Bound Identity: Beijing Film Academy School Doctor (Traditional Chinese Medicine)]
[Daily Task: Treat 5 students using massage techniques to earn a reward of '1100g of century-old wild ginseng'. Current progress: 0/5 (Incomplete).]
[Special Mission: Improve the theoretical research on "Sha Syndrome" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Reward: "Ten Years of Medical Experience from the Sage of Medicine, Zhang Zhongjing". Current progress: 0/1 (Incomplete).]
[Hidden Quest: Not yet triggered.]

"Treat five school patients using massage techniques?"
Su Zhengnan frowned. This daily task seemed simple, but it was actually not easy at all.
It's important to know that this task is based on the premise of treatment using massage techniques.
This means that patients must have bone, muscle, or meridian-related ailments in order to receive treatment using massage techniques.
If there is no such symptom, massage therapy should not be used haphazardly.
This is equivalent to having preconditions.
Therefore, completing this daily task is still somewhat difficult.
Thinking of this, Su Zhengnan glanced at today's date and muttered to himself:
"Looks like I won't be able to finish this daily task anytime soon, winter break is just around the corner!"
After the last class this afternoon, the students will be on winter break soon, so this daily task probably won't be completed. We'll have to wait until next year when school starts.
Soon, the morning had passed.
Su Zhengnan sat leisurely in the clinic, doing nothing all morning, enjoying his peace and quiet.
Ring ring!
noon.
The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
With a loud crash!
A moment later, a boy rushed in.
This was the only student who came to Su Zhengnan for a consultation this week.
He rushed in from outside, his brows furrowed and teeth bared, and as soon as he saw Su Zhengnan, he shouted impatiently:
"Dr. Su, quick, please help me! My left hand is burned, it hurts so much..."
"Hmm, you got burned?"
Su Zhengnan got up and walked over to take a look at the other person's left hand. He found that the entire left hand was bright red, and some parts were even blistered.
"Your burn is quite severe. How could you be so careless?"
Su Zhengnan raised an eyebrow slightly, and as he spoke, he turned around and walked to the medicine cabinet to start getting the medicine.
"Coptis chinensis, Phellodendron chinense, Rheum palmatum, Sanguisorba officinalis, Angelica sinensis, Lycoperdon perlatum, Lithospermum erythrorhizon, carbonized human hair, pearl powder, borneol, licorice..."
He deftly grabbed a little of each medicine, then turned and tossed them into a mortar and pestle, where they were crushed with a clattering sound.
Soon, Su Zhengnan crushed all the medicines.
Immediately afterwards, Su Zhengnan poured out the crushed medicine, walked up to the boy, and applied the crushed medicine to the boy's burned left arm.
With a snap!
Su Zhengnan applied the crushed medicine to the other person's arm with a piece of gauze and then bandaged it up.
The boy immediately winced in pain, because Su Zhengnan's slap was a bit too forceful, making him feel like he couldn't take it.
But it only hurts for a moment.
Soon, the other person felt a cool sensation on their arm.
Su Zhengnan returned to his desk and sat down. While asking the other person's name and age, he wrote out a prescription and then asked with a smile:
"How does it feel? Does it feel a bit refreshing? That's because I added borneol!"
Borneol has the effects of relieving pain, preventing decay, clearing the mind and refreshing the spirit, clearing heat and promoting tissue regeneration.
The Chinese herbs that Su Zhengnan crushed were all effective for burns, so their effects were naturally better than ordinary burn ointments.
"Ah...yes, it does feel a bit cool, and it seems to hurt less all of a sudden."
The boy nodded in response, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and handed him the completed form, saying, "Your burn is quite severe. Blisters may form later, so remember not to break them to avoid infection. Also, avoid spicy and irritating foods for the next few days."
The boy nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked, "Dr. Su, how long will it take for me to get better?"
"Under normal circumstances, it takes about a week to recover."
Su Zhengnan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, take this form to the nurses' station to pay. I'll get you some more medicine here, you can take it back and change it yourself."
"Okay, I understand, thank you Dr. Su."
The boy thanked Su Zhengnan repeatedly, took the form, and went to pay the fee.
Watching the other person's departing figure, Su Zhengnan shook his head helplessly, then turned around and continued to prepare and crush the medicine according to the prescription he had written before, preparing a five-day supply for the boy.
After paying the fee, the boy returned to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
Su Zhengnan handed the prepared medicine to the boy and instructed him on how to change the medicine and the precautions.
"Thank you, thank you Dr. Su."
After thanking Su Zhengnan again, the boy turned and left the school clinic.
After seeing the boy off, Su Zhengnan checked the time; it was almost time to get off work and have lunch.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan went out and called Zhou Zixuan and Sun Huaiwei.
The three of them went to the school clinic for lunch.
This should be considered their last lunch together this year; they probably won't see each other again until the start of next school year.
Ring ring!
Just as Su Zhengnan finished his lunch.
His phone suddenly rang; it was Principal Zhang Huijun calling.
Su Zhengnan answered the phone and asked with a smile, "Hello, Principal Zhang, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Is something the matter?"
Zhang Huijun smiled and said, "Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong? I'm the principal, after all!"
After making a joke with a smile, Zhang Huijun paused for a moment and then said:
"Alright, enough joking. I actually have something to discuss with you. Come to my office!"
"Hehe, okay!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, then hung up the phone, spoke briefly with Zhou Zixuan and Sun Huaiwei, and turned to walk towards the principal's office.
.............
Not long after.
Su Zhengnan then arrived at the principal's office and knocked on the door.
"Who is it? Come in!"
Zhang Huijun's voice came from the office.
With a creak!
Su Zhengnan pushed the door open and went inside.
"Oh, Xiao Su is here! Come and have a seat!"
Zhang Huijun looked up and, upon seeing that it was Su Zhengnan, smiled and gestured for him to sit down and talk.
Su Zhengnan glanced at it, sat down and asked, "I wonder what Principal Zhang called me over for? You could have just told me directly, why all the secrecy and why did you have to call me over here?"
Zhang Huijun pondered for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that your teacher called me before and said that after you finish this year's school doctor job, you don't need to come next year."
"What?"
Su Zhengnan was so shocked that he stood up immediately, his face filled with disbelief:
"Principal Zhang, what do you mean? What do you mean I don't need to come next year?"
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Su Zhengnan.
He never imagined that winter vacation was coming so soon.
One of my teachers would suddenly call Principal Zhang to talk about this.
Actually, he had considered quitting his job as a school doctor.
However, my system cheat codes haven't changed at all yet.
That's why Su Zhengnan has always been content with the status quo.
"This is not my idea, this is your teacher's idea."
Zhang Huijun quickly waved his hand and sighed, "I don't want to send you away either, but I can't go against your teacher's wishes, so I called you over to hear your opinion."
Su Zhengnan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "I don't want to leave here for now. I think the job of a school doctor is pretty good."
At this point, Su Zhengnan paused for a moment, then continued:
"How about this, I'll talk to the teacher myself. Principal Zhang, you shouldn't make a decision yet, okay?"
"Hehe, okay, then I'll temporarily put off recruiting a new school doctor."
Zhang Huijun smiled and nodded, saying, "Let's talk about it after you've discussed it with Elder Gu!"
"Thank you, Principal Zhang."
Su Zhengnan smiled and thanked him, then got up and left the principal's office.
