Chapter 119 Medical Exchange
The woman led Ye Yu and the other two through the corridor, introducing them as they walked: "My surname is Wu, you can call me Aunt Wu. Several people have already come to see me and are resting in the guest rooms. We will send someone to invite you over when Madam wakes up tonight."
Aunt Wu said with a smile and a gentle tone.
After saying that, she waved to the two maids standing not far away. The maids understood and quickly came forward, leading the people to their respective guest rooms to rest.
Ye Yu followed one of the maids through the corridor to a tastefully decorated guest room.
The maidservant politely placed the food on the table, then quietly excused herself and left.
Ye Yu sat at the table enjoying her food, but her consciousness had already spread out to observe the surrounding movements.
There are seven or eight people living in this courtyard. At this moment, two people are knocking on the doors of other rooms, as if inviting everyone to come out and exchange medical knowledge.
Before long, they arrived at the door of Ye Yu's room.
Ye Yu slowly opened the door, and in front of her was an old man with a white beard and a ruddy complexion.
Upon seeing Ye Yu, the old man's face immediately lit up with a warm smile. He said in a loud voice, "Young lady, since you have some free time now, would you like to exchange medical insights with us?"
His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he was very interested in this exchange.
Ye Yu smiled slightly, thinking that this was a good opportunity to learn about the skills of these doctors, so she readily nodded and agreed, "Of course, sir, please."
The old man nodded in satisfaction and led Ye Yu toward the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.
Others also came over and sat together, including the two from Deyi Valley.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the old man began to tidy up. With a smile, he introduced himself: "My surname is Lu. I thought it was still early and I had nothing else to do, so I thought I'd like to exchange ideas with you fellow travelers."
Seeing everyone nod in agreement, he spoke again: "Then I'll start. I do have some knowledge of acupuncture. Once, I encountered a stroke patient who was paralyzed on one side. I used silver needles to stimulate acupoints, combined with medication, and after a few weeks he was able to walk again."
Old Lu proudly puffed out his chest: "There was once a wealthy businessman who had been suffering from headaches for a long time and had sought out many famous doctors without success. After my treatment, he recovered in less than a month."
Everyone gasped in amazement.
Another person spoke up, saying, "Old Master Lu is indeed remarkable. However, for us doctors, saving patients should be our top priority."
Not to be outdone, a man with braided hair and a toad in his hand said, "My specialty is poison. Poison can kill or save lives. For example, once I encountered a poisoned patient with peculiar symptoms, and conventional antidotes were ineffective. In the end, I tried a special herbal formula and successfully saved his life."
Another man with short hair said, "I'm good at plastic surgery."
Hearing him say this, everyone curiously turned their heads to stare at him. Ye Yu noticed that this person had a modern men's hairstyle and guessed that he had left the Hidden Gate.
The short-haired man continued, "I am from the Mechanical Gate, but I have never liked mechanical design. Instead, I really like studying medicine. However, I don't like traditional Chinese medicine theory, nor do I like using poison or acupuncture. That's why my elders used their connections to get me sent out of the Hidden Gate to study medicine through the Enforcement Hall."
He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "After leaving the sect, I originally wanted to study cardiology, but I found that I preferred cosmetic medicine, so..."
At this point, the girl from Deyitang seemed to suddenly realize something and pointed at the short-haired man: "So you're Song Rongqi? I've heard my dad say before that you were born with the hands to design mechanisms or study medicine, but you actually went to learn how to please women."
Song Rongqi was a little embarrassed by what she said. "You can't say that. Everyone has their own preferences and pursuits. Besides, medical aesthetics is a very meaningful discipline that can help people become more beautiful and confident."
The girl scoffed, "Anyway, it'll make you guys from the Mechanical Arts Sect look bad!"
"You!" Song Rongqi was a little angry: "Who exactly are you? What you study is entirely based on personal preference, with no distinction between high and low."
The girl was somewhat smug, raising her chin: "I'm Xu Ling Shuang from De Yi Gu. You used to be chased and beaten by me when you were little, right? Now you think you're above me?"
Upon hearing this, Song Rongqi seemed to recognize her and gave a light snort: "So it was you. Then it's not surprising that you said those things."
At this moment, Ye Yu, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "You are all leaders in the medical field, each with your own strengths. However, in my opinion, the purpose of medicine is not only to cure diseases and save lives, but also to help people solve their problems."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Song Rongqi nodded to Ye Yu, indicating that Ye Yu's words made a lot of sense.
When Xu Ling Shuang saw Ye Yu speak, she chuckled and said, "You're probably only good at flattery."
Then, with a smirk, he said, "All talk and no action is useless. If you're so capable, show us what you've got when you treat the patient later."
Ye Yu smiled slightly: "Then we'll see how it goes in time."
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the old man quickly changed the subject: "To be honest, we still don't know the specifics of Madam Fu's condition. We asked Butler Wu before, and she only said that we would know when the diagnosis was performed later."
The old man stroked his beard and recalled thoughtfully, "Yesterday, when I entered the mansion, I happened to meet an old friend. This friend's medical skills are also quite superb. However, he told me that when he was diagnosing the lady, they were separated by many layers of gauze, so they could not see the specific symptoms at all. They could only feel that the pulse was abnormally disordered, which made it impossible to know where to start."
At this moment, the person holding the toad showed a puzzled expression and muttered to himself, "Didn't everyone say that Madam Fu was disfigured? If they won't let us examine the wound, how can this illness be treated?"
Another person nearby chimed in, analyzing, "After all, it's human nature to love beauty. I guess Madam Fu probably wants to assess the doctors' true abilities by taking their pulses first before deciding whether to display the wound. Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing to let others see it so easily?"
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense and nodded in their approval.
Time slips away quietly, and before we know it, night has fallen.
Wu Ma came over to inform everyone that the lady had woken up and was ready to see the doctors.
The exchange of medical knowledge was temporarily suspended, and everyone followed Wu Ma to the lady's room.
Ye Yu thought to herself, she had seen Fu Jinhua and Cao Yan fight before, and their strength was about equal. Unless Cao Yan used some means, it was impossible for the Fu family, with their wealth and status, to seek medical treatment in this way.
While they were pondering, the group arrived at Fu Jinhua's door.
