Chapter 4: The Yin and Yang Eyes (1)

  "Xiao Yu, don't mention it, this time it's my fault for almost putting you in harm's way! By the way, is your body okay? Do you want to do a thorough check?" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Wei Jun lowered his head and said with red eyes.

  "Brother Jun, don't worry, you're not even thinking about what we've learned! If something's wrong, wouldn't I know it myself?" Xiao Yu said with a chuckle. Until now, Xiao Yu was still in a dream-like state, but the extra memories in his mind were real and tangible. So, did those things in his mind really exist? Thinking of this made Xiao Yu feel a little apprehensive - what if they really found something during the examination, wouldn't he be taken away for dissection and research?!

  At first, Xiao Yu's school was a traditional Chinese medicine college, but there was only one class of traditional Chinese medicine majors, which was Xiao Yu's class. The rest were all Western medicine majors, and Wei Jun studied clinical medicine.

  "True, you're right. I didn't learn well and haven't done this since graduating, but still, I have some foundation." Hearing Xiao Ye say that, Wei Jun rubbed his head in embarrassment and said.

  Wei Jun's parents were originally ordinary workers, but his father had a keen eye for opportunity. At the beginning of the reform and opening-up period, he resolutely quit his government job and went into business, engaging in trade. At that time, there were no conditions like today, and trains were slow like snails, without air conditioning. Wei Jun's father would carry a bag of electronic watches from the south to the train, staying in the sweltering carriage for several days and nights, transporting these foreign goods from the south to the north. Goods that cost only one or two yuan could be sold for 17 or 18 yuan in the north.

  After years of hard work, Wei Jun's father completed the initial accumulation of capital. Then, his father used all the money to buy cars and started a transportation business, opening a trading company and focusing on trade. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Wei's father also made a big deal by chartering trains to transport grain to Russia. Although Wei Jun's parents were both workers with low cultural levels in the past, they are now considered top figures in the business world.

  When the company was just starting out, Wei Jun's parents had suffered a lot due to their low cultural level. After a painful experience, they decided to use all their energy to cultivate their son. Later, because of Wei Jun's mother's illness, his father felt that money was not as important as life, so he spent a lot of effort sending his son to the Deep Sea Chinese Medicine Academy.

  Since Wei Jun's family started their own business and their lives improved, Wei's father, who was not highly educated, began to collect antiques in order to avoid being called a nouveau riche. At that time, counterfeit antiques were not as prevalent, so as long as you were willing to spend the money, you could get some pretty good stuff. It was around this time that Wei Jun became fascinated with antiques and even turned down the job at the hospital his father had arranged for him after graduation, instead opening up an antique shop in Deep Sea Antique City.

  "Xiao Yu, you rest, I'll go buy some food for you!" Wei Jun put down the water bottle and was about to head out.

  "Wait, Jun Ge, I'm fine now, let's get out of here! I really don't like staying in this place." Xiao Yu said hastily when he saw Wei Jun about to leave.

  Xiao Yu followed his grandfather to learn medicine from a young age, although he had not treated anyone, but in these years Xiao Yu was not idle. After several hours of effort, Xiao Yu has integrated the memories of Zhong Kui before becoming the Tian Shi into his own as an ordinary person. Although it can't be said that he has fully grasped everything about Zhong Kui, he has mastered the general idea, especially in terms of medicine and calligraphy. As for medicine, what Xiao Yu lacked was practical experience after being taught by his grandfather from a young age. However, when Zhong Kui was young, he traveled around practicing medicine and accumulated a wealth of experience. After integrating these memories, they all became Xiao Yu's experiences. Moreover, Zhong Kui's medical skills were also passed down from his family, as his ancestors were direct disciples of Hua Tuo. So now, Xiao Yu can be considered a descendant of the Hua Tuo school.

  So he was very clear about his own body, except for being a bit weak and having a slight skin injury on his head, Xiao Yu was very healthy. When Wei Jun saw that Xiao Yu insisted on leaving the hospital, he said: "You lie down first, I'll go ask the doctor." After finishing speaking, Wei Jun left the ward to find the doctor.

  Xiao Yu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, cultivating his spirit. Suddenly, he felt three things in his mind emit a soft glow that shot towards his eyes. Xiao Yu only felt a surge in his brain, and a scorching heat spread from his eyes, causing two lines of turbid tears mixed with blood to flow out of his eyes uncontrollably.

  Until the sour feeling in his eyes disappeared, Xiao Yu felt that the mysterious pattern emitting a fluorescent glow in his eyes and brain had a strange connection. Xiao Yu took out a tissue to wipe his eyes and opened them again.

  When Xiao Yu opened his eyes, he felt that the whole world had lost its color, leaving only black and white. Xiao Yu was shocked in his heart: "Have I become color-blind?"

  Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, the mysterious pattern and the connection with his eyes were instantly severed, his eyes stung for a moment, Xiao Yu quickly closed his eyes and when he opened them again, the world had regained its color.

  Xiao Yu felt that the connection between the texture of the three objects in his mind and his eyes seemed to be interrupted, could it be...

  Xiao Yu got out of bed and walked to the windowsill, where a palm-sized mirror was placed. He looked into the mirror, and except for a slightly pale complexion, there was nothing different about him. He picked up the mirror and brought it closer, focusing his attention on his own eyes. Xiao Yu felt that the mysterious patterns in his mind had made contact with his eyes this time, without the scorching, sour feeling.

  At the moment when a thread of mysterious pattern diverged and connected with Xiao Yu's eyes, he clearly saw that his own black and white eyes had slowly changed color. The black pupil in his left eye slowly disappeared, making the entire left eyeball turn white, while the black pupil in his right eye slowly expanded, turning the entire eye into black.

  At the moment when both eyes changed, Xiao Yu's eyes returned to normal. Although it was only a fleeting moment, Xiao Yu believed he didn't see wrong because the world in his eyes had turned into black and white, losing all its luster.

  Although he had recovered to normal, Xiao Yu's eyes lacked a vitality, a hint of liveliness, and if someone saw him, they would definitely get a desolate and barren feeling.

  What's going on? Xiao Yu's scalp went numb for a moment, and he stumbled and sat down on the hospital bed. He took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. Once again, he picked up the mirror, thinking to himself: "Break off the connection." Indeed, Xiao Yu felt that the thread connecting his eyes slowly retreated back into his brain, re-merging with those threads. And Xiao Yu's eyes, along with the black-and-white world he saw, slowly transformed into a colorful one, regaining their vitality.
