Chapter 52 First Clinic Session (Part 1)

  When Zhou Yi returned to Yunshui Village, it was already 11 o'clock at night. There is a saying that in the mountains, there are clouds and rain, and although the heavy rain on the mountain road had stopped, Yunshui Village was still experiencing a fine drizzle, which seemed unlikely to stop anytime soon.

  Zhou Yi didn't return to the old house, but instead drove directly to the three mu of land. He was still worried about those rice seedlings that were just emerging, 'Green Luxuriant Fragrance' although it's a strong variety in the system, even the nursery needs to occupy several times more land than ordinary seeds, and its ability to resist floods and droughts is also stronger, but the rain just now was too big, not taking a look would make him somewhat uneasy.

  "Uh, has it started sprouting?"

  It's only been a little over two days, and the two acres of land that had been sown already have a layer of green shoots emerging. Under the dim moonlight, it looks as if the bald head has been topped with a lush green hat, full of profound meaning.

  A sturdy figure was crouching beside the water pit at the corner of the field, scooping out water with an iron bucket. Zhou Yi saw that he also had a completely bald head and burst out laughing: "Second Foolish Son, is it you?"

  That figure was startled, almost falling into the water: "Uncle is you? You scared me to death with that loud call. My grandfather said, scaring people can be fatal..."

  As expected, he's a bit of an oddball. At this late hour, according to the mountain people's customs, they should either be resting early or gathering together to play some small cards and drink a little wine, but instead, he came to help Zhou Yi watch over the seedlings.

  "Good job, Second Drunkard..."

  Zhou Yi walked near the edge of the field and saw that the accumulated water in the field had been drained almost completely. He said with some gratitude, "Don't worry, Uncle, this rice crop can withstand flooding. As long as it's not a catastrophic rainstorm that destroys the field directly, it will be fine. Look at you, you're all wet from head to toe."

  As he spoke, Zhou Yi used his hand to wipe away the mud and water from Er Kuai's head and face.

  "I'm fine, my grandfather said so, Uncle is not here, I'll take care of this field for him..."

  The two lazy men stood up straight, stretched their waists and took a look at the rice seedlings in the field. They couldn't help but exclaim: "Uncle, where did you get this rice variety from? It's really amazing! In just over two days, it has already sprouted!"

  "Don't ask anymore, let's go quickly, Second Drunkard, I'll send you home."

  Zhou Yi didn't respond to his words, anyway in this era everyone is responsible for their own land and crops, and the rice varieties are not uniformly purchased by the village; nowadays there are at least hundreds of domestic rice varieties, so it's nothing to be suspicious about.

  "Uh, okay then, I'd rather ride in Uncle's car, it's way more comfortable than Li Dogzi's tractor..."

  The two silly kids were excited and just about to jump onto the bus when suddenly one of them seemed to remember something: "Oh yeah, uncle! My grandpa said that tomorrow the nursing home is going to give the old folks a physical examination. He was originally going to remind you tomorrow, but I'm afraid I'll forget, so I'll tell you today..."

  "Old man physical examination?"

  I've been neglecting the Book of Changes, and I feel a bit ashamed. Since coming to Cloud Water Village, I've been busy attending long table banquets and renting land to farm, but I've never done my main job.

  It's really a bit embarrassing to think about it, considering that monthly salary of 3,000 yuan.

  Even he himself had almost forgotten that he was a doctor, until Er Cai Zi reminded him, and only then did he have an epiphany: "Brother is also a ninth-level great perfection medical god, can't just spend all day eating and drinking... coincidentally, tomorrow is the old man's physical examination day, brother will make some effort. The elderly in the village are not easy either, they have worked hard for a lifetime, and there is no good medical condition, who knows if there is any hidden disease."

  Zhou Yi is an idle person, not willing to bow down for five pecks of rice, nor learn from others for fame and fortune. Sometimes he gets a bit lazy, preferring to take a ride rather than walk if possible, and saving energy whenever he can... But being idle doesn't mean being a pig, it's not that he refuses to do anything at all.

  For example, farming or doing physical examinations for the elderly in these mountain villages are things that Zhou Yi is willing to do and even enjoys.

  "Second Brother, you come over for a physical check-up tomorrow too. If there are any previous medical records from the hospital, bring them along and let me take a look. I'll think of a way to help you out, and get your hair fixed up."

  Zhou Yi glanced at Er Lai's head and said with a hint of apology.

  Maybe it's because I'm used to seeing Er Lang's appearance, if not for today's talk about the old man's physical examination, Zhou Yi almost forgot that he was a patient...... He's still young, even if he's a half-dumb and half-clever person, who would want to go out with an ugly bald head all day?

  "I'm not going with those old men and women... Ah, uncle, are you saying that the illness on my head can be cured?"

  The two silly children suddenly stared blankly, their faces full of joy.

  "It's definitely curable, just need to take a look at your previous medical history and determine the best treatment plan, so as to eradicate it completely..."

  Zhou Yi smiled and nodded, with the methods of a 9th-level Great Round Mended Medical God, it shouldn't be a problem to cure Er Lai Zi's alopecia areata. However, there are many causes for alopecia areata, whether it is due to the invasion of evil cold air, hormonal imbalance, or even eating something that triggers an allergic reaction, all of which can lead to the condition. If Er Lai Zi had a medical history before, it would save him a lot of effort.

  Who made him so lazy? Being able to save trouble is one of his principles in doing things.

  ***

  The next morning, before 8 o'clock, Li Yuanfang called up a few strong laborers and set up tables, chairs, blood pressure meters, stethoscopes and other small medical devices in the center square of the nursing home.

  This was Zhou Yi's first time sitting in for a diagnosis and checking the bodies of the elderly villagers, Li Yuanfang also felt somewhat nervous.

  He helped Zhou Yi obtain the right to use Fuxi Mountain, but in front of Village Chief Wang Jingzi, he boasted that Zhou Yi was a graduate of Kyoto University and a great intellectual, whose level surpassed many doctors in Kyoto, Hai Dian and other big cities. With him around, Yunshui Village's medical and health standards would be elevated to a new level, and when the time came for the township-wide evaluation, they would be among the top...

  Wang Jiezi was just listening to this, and didn't strongly object. After all, outsiders coming in and taking over the mountain head is considered stealing the village's Feng Shui. If it gets out of hand, he and Li Yuanfang might not be able to control it.

  So this time Zhou Yi's diagnosis is particularly important, even Wang Jingzi has arrived at the scene. If Zhou Yi is not as mediocre as Li Yuanfang said, then the situation with Fuxi Mountain may change.

  However, Li Yuanfang didn't say this to Zhou Yi. In his opinion, although Zhou was a bit lazy and idle, he was a very mysterious person and also Li Yuanfang's benefactor. Today's little scene would definitely not be difficult for Zhou to handle.
