Chapter 117: The Mysterious Diagnosis (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

  The people around didn't say a word, but they all looked at the mother and daughter with disdain, thinking to themselves that even though it was free, if something went wrong and the illness got worse, what would happen then? Trying to save money shouldn't be done in this way! However, no one said anything, they just stood by and watched them make fools of themselves, waiting to see how they would suffer from being too greedy.

  Not everyone was like them, a few of the earliest arrivals had already let Xiao Yu take a look at their condition, and were now all looking anxious, occasionally glancing at their watches, then looking towards the door.

  Today, they finally met an expert without spending money, of course, they want their family to see it too. At first, when they saw so many people coming, they thought to themselves, "My family hasn't arrived yet, how long will these people have to wait?" If they can't see the doctor today, where will they find such a good opportunity in the future?

  Especially those who see Chinese medicine are generally older, and at this age, they are the heaviest burden on their families. These people are all meticulous about their daily lives, and their mentality is that saving one penny is like saving one penny, so they all look forward to their family members coming early.

  But they didn't expect that the people around them didn't believe in this young doctor, and not a single person came forward to see him. On the contrary, those who had seen the doctor secretly rejoiced, thinking to themselves, "It's good that you don't believe it! In that case, our family members will definitely be able to see the doctor today."

  However, with the arrival of the woman's mother, this atmosphere was broken, and these people who had originally put down their hearts all picked up again, fearing that after Xiao Ye took care of the old lady, these onlookers would all have to see a doctor, and their own family members would have to queue until when?

  So after seeing the old lady come, these people quietly went outside to make a phone call.

  "Doctor, please help my mom. My mom often has lower back pain from time to time, each time it hurts for a few days and then gets better, but after just a few days, it happens again. When it hurts, she can't even walk, but after it gets better, she's fine and can do everything as usual."

  The old lady sat down at the consultation desk with a reluctant face, supported by her daughter. The old lady's daughter carefully introduced to Xiao Yu.

  "Mom, where's the medical records and test results I asked you to bring?" The old lady's daughter said to her mother after introducing Xiao Yu.

  "Here, here!" Although the old lady didn't believe in this young Chinese doctor, since she had already come and sat down at the consultation desk, a glimmer of hope naturally arose. This is perhaps also a special kind of psychology that patients have when they go to see a doctor - sometimes not believing in the doctor or being unwilling, but once treatment begins, a glimmer of hope arises, a hope for recovery.

  The old lady took out a stack of medical records and test reports from a nylon cloth bag and handed them to Xiao Yu, who took the test report and put it aside without looking at it.

  The old lady saw Xiao Yu take the test sheet and didn't even look at it, and she felt a strong sense of disappointment in her heart. She thought to herself, "It seems that this young doctor is not good enough, probably can't even read the test results!" Thinking of this, the old lady's words could no longer be hidden, and she said: "Young man, don't you take a look at these sheets?"

  "Hehe, Auntie, I don't even need to look at these test results, they all show that you're perfectly fine and your body is still in good shape, right?" Xiao Ye said with a light smile, looking at the old lady.

  At this time, not only the old lady's face turned strange, but also her daughter's face changed. She thought to herself, "Is it possible? So divine? Without even taking a pulse or flipping through the medical records, you can already know that the test results are fine?"

  The old lady's daughter knew that although Xiao Yu was young, his medical skills were indeed good. However, she never thought that Xiao Yu's medical skills had reached this level. Others might not know, but she was very clear that her mother's illness was the same in all the big hospitals' test results, without any problem, but her mother's illness still recurred every few days.

  The people around, seeing Xiao Yu glance at the test results without even looking at them, said that the old lady didn't have any problems with her check-ups. They all sneered at Xiao Yu and looked at him with disbelieving faces, their eyes full of suspicion. Among these people, only Yue Lao had a few points of trust in Xiao Yu.

  Yue Lao believed it a little, but he was more skeptical. Just the other day, Xiao Ye had just shown his needle technique, and today he saw that Xiao Ye also had remarkable achievements in prescription and diagnosis. Had he grasped the essence of inspection in traditional Chinese medicine as well?

  Yue Lao also took a deep breath at this thought. If Xiao Yu had already grasped the essence of pulse diagnosis, then he would have already achieved the level of a national master. But how could that be? He himself was only just entering the door to becoming a national master. Due to the turmoil in Huaxia in recent years, many inheritances in the field of traditional Chinese medicine had been cut off, resulting in there being only three or five national masters in modern times, and great national masters were even fewer, with only one or two. But among these people, the youngest was already over sixty years old. And Xiao Yu was how old? At most twenty-six years old!

  "Isn't there anyone behind this old lady in line? Then we'll just get in line!" Just then, a voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd of onlookers. It turned out that some of the people who had gone out to make phone calls earlier had already returned and saw that no one was lined up behind the old lady, so they shouted.

  The two who came back, each supporting an old man, but when these old men saw Xiao You sitting in the clinic, they all had disbelieving expressions, but seeing the children insisting, they also reluctantly went to line up.

  Among the onlookers, a few quick-witted people noticed that these three were queuing up and thought back carefully, realizing that they had been caught taking medicine when they came but hadn't left. Now it seemed like they were bringing their elderly family members to see the doctor again. Could this young traditional Chinese medicine practitioner really have some skills?

  The more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was off. If Xiao Yu's condition wasn't serious, why would they be waiting anxiously for the elderly person in their household to come and queue up to see a doctor? After they finished seeing the doctor, they then called the elderly person from their household to come and see the doctor, which could explain some things.

  These onlookers, the more they thought about it, the more reasonable they felt their own thoughts were. They quietly moved to the back of the queue, thinking that since seeing a doctor and getting medicine wouldn't cost them anything, they wouldn't lose out, and who knows, maybe they really could get cured?

  Seeing the few people who were originally watching also lining up, the rest of them even more so sneered at them in their hearts and sighed: "In this day and age, there are really many people who take advantage of small benefits, for these small benefits they don't even fear death! They dare to try it out with their own bodies!"

  Seeing these people queuing up, the remaining onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads.

  At this time, several others who went out to make a phone call also came back, followed by eight or nine old men and women. It turned out that these old men and women were all exercising in the park, and when they heard one of the old man's sons making a phone call, saying that there was a traditional Chinese medicine expert at Renhe Hall who was seeing patients and the medicine was free, they all followed over.

  The middle-aged man who led the way, carrying medicine, came in and saw so many people queuing up. He couldn't help but complain to the old man behind him: "I told you to hurry up, you didn't listen, look at how many people are lined up now!"

  The old man behind him smiled and didn't say a word. With so many elder brothers and sisters coming, he couldn't bear to throw them down and come first by himself, so he had to wait until everyone was ready before coming over together.

  These people may have heard this middle-aged man talk about Xiao Yu's illness and came without any hesitation, all lining up at the back of the queue.

  Xiao Ye was examining the elderly woman when he saw a large number of old men and women lining up behind her, and couldn't help but say to Yue Lao: "Brother, can you find someone to move some stools? These people are so old, they'll collapse from exhaustion before we even get a chance to examine them!"

  Yue Lao nodded silently after hearing Xiao Yu's words. His younger brother not only had excellent medical skills but also good medical ethics and didn't hold himself high just because of his skills, nor did he neglect his patients. Yue Lao turned around to instruct a fellow named Little Liu for a few sentences before continuing to observe Xiao Yu examining the patient.

  Xiao Yu looked at the old lady with a gentle smile and said, "Auntie, if I'm not mistaken, you must have been sent to the countryside when you were young! And the place where you were sent should still have a river. After finishing work, you would usually go to the river to take a bath in the evening when there were fewer people. Even on cool autumn evenings, you would still go to wipe your body clean, right?"

  Xiao Yu said that the old lady's eyes were getting bigger and bigger, these things are all his secrets, only his partner knows a little, because his children don't want to listen so he rarely mentions it, but at this time this young doctor is just like an eyewitness, not a single word is wrong.

  Because I loved to sweat since childhood, and when I caught up with that decade, my family was assigned to work in the northern countryside due to their high status. After every labor, I would be drenched in sweat, so I usually went to the small river at the village head to take a bath in the evening. Even in autumn, I still sweated profusely, but the weather had cooled down after all, so I could only wipe my body clean.

  "Doctor, you're really amazing! My children don't even know much about these things, how did you know? Are you a fortune teller or something? But what does this have to do with my illness?" The old lady saw that Xiao Yu had said everything correctly, just like she had witnessed it herself, and only then did she put away her skeptical expression and reveal a look of admiration.

  "Haha, your illness may have just broken out recently, but its root is from decades ago. Judging by your accent, you're a southerner through and through, but there's also a hint of northern accent mixed in. Given your age, it seems like you just happened to be part of those years' rustication movement..."

  "How did you know that our family composition is not good and it's a demotion?!" Xiao Yu hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by the old lady.

  The old lady's heart is now like a cat scratching, because Xiao Yu said it was too magical, just like what she saw with her own eyes.

  "Haha, Auntie, this ear hole was pierced when you were a kid, right? It seems that in those years, even poor peasants didn't have their ears pierced!" Xiao Ye didn't get angry at all when the old lady interrupted him, but instead chuckled and looked at her ear.
