“What?”
At Fang Qiu’s words, the face of the woman in the hospital bed immediately changed. She looked at Fang Qiu with fire flashing in her eyes, as if she’d been angry for a long time. Then she yelled, “You want my money? I knew you were a bastard. If I allow you to treat my leg, I may never get up again. You insidious son of a bitch. Go to hell!”
A torrent of abuse came from the woman’s mouth.
It sounded like a roar.
She was like a shrew shouting abuse in the street.
Instead of getting angry at the scolding, Fang Qiu grinned nonchalantly and said, “If you keep procrastinating, you’re going to lose your leg.”
“Get out of here!”
The woman didn’t listen to him and yelled at Fang Qiu, “You want my money. Not gonna happen, son of a bitch! Go, I’d rather be treated by the hospital than by you!”
“Good.”
Fang Qiu nodded with a smile and then directly walked away.
As a doctor, he had the duty to save lives, but he would not treat people blindly.
Among the rules handed down from the ancestors of traditional Chinese medicine, the following six kinds of patients were not treated. “
“First, do not treat those who rely on power and are arrogant and domineering.
Second, do not treat those who are greedy for money but have little regard for their lives.
Third, do not treat those who overeat and eat irregularly.
Fourth, do not treat those who have serious diseases and do not seek medical treatment in time.
Fifth, do not treat those who are too weak to take medicine.
Sixth, do not treat those who believe in witchcraft instead of medicine.”
Of the six conditions, the woman had at least two. Fang Qiu had been kind by coming to her ward. However, the woman was not only domineering and arrogant but also said all kinds of abusive words to him.
Faced with this situation, Fang Qiu would naturally like to turn around and leave.
As for the curses, he thought she was full of shit.
“Little bastard, go back and see if your family’s grave has been dug up by dogs. You’re trying to take advantage of me? Look who I am! You want money from me? Do you want to die?”
The scoundrel woman pointed at Fang Qiu from the hospital bed and kept yelling.
When Fang Qiu got to the door of the ward, completely out of her sight, he could still hear the unrelenting scolding.
And it was very offensive. She even cursed his ancestors.
Fang Qiu couldn’t stand it anymore.
Since the woman was a scoundrel, he certainly would not have been foolish enough to strike her with swagger, or he would get into trouble.
But that didn’t mean he would not do anything.
“Humph!”
Hearing the woman’s curses in the ward, Fang Qiu put on a cold look and launched his internal Qi to shoot out.
The next moment, a slap sounded.
With the crisp sound, the shrew stopped scolding!
Like what he did yesterday, Fang Qiu manipulated his internal Qi and slapped the woman in the face. Instantly, one side of her face turned red and swollen.
Everyone in the ward was dumbstruck.
No one knew what was going on. The woman in the bed turned around, covering her face and looking blank, and then she started to panic as if she had thought of something. Her face suddenly changed, and she grabbed a man who had been sitting not far away, hiding behind him in fear. Her eyes kept rolling, as if she had seen a ghost.
…
Fang Qiu returned to Li Shan’s father’s ward.
“I’m sorry.”
As soon as he walked into the room, Li Shan stood up and apologized guiltily to Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu didn’t say anything, just shaking his head.
“What’s the matter?”
In the hospital bed, Li Shan’s father looked puzzled and asked, “Why are you apologizing? What happened?”
Li Shan gave a wry smile and told the whole story.
Hearing the whole story, the old man frowned, then looked at Fang Qiu and said, “As a doctor, you really should put patients first, but you have to protect yourself as well, because only by protecting yourself can you save people. If you can’t protect yourself, you can’t save people, let alone saving more people.”
Fang Qiu nodded and answered, “I see.”
“Ha-ha.”
The old man grinned, then glanced at Jiang Miaoyu next to Fang Qiu and stated, “Your girlfriend is talented. I have a young friend who is very accomplished in acupuncture. She can learn from my friend. I can introduce my friend to you, if you like.”
Hearing this, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu exchanged glances, and both saw surprises in each other’s eyes.
“Thank you, senior.”
Fang Qiu quickly thanked the old man on behalf of Jiang Miaoyu.
“Don’t call me that. Now that you know my son, don’t call me senior, just call me Uncle Li.”
The old man laughed and said, “Since you cured my leg, I should have repaid you. The introduction of you to my young friend will be your reward for curing my leg.”
“But not now. I’ll contact her first before I contact you then.”
“Great, thank you, Uncle Li.”
Fang Qiu thanked again.
“Thank you, Uncle Li.”
Jiang Miaoyu also expressed her gratitude, blushing.
After that, the two did not disturb the old man’s rest for a long time, and after a few words, they left.
After leaving the hospital, on the way back to the hotel, Jiang Miaoyu, tilting her head, recalled while murmuring, “Why do I feel Uncle Li is unusual?”
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu nodded and uttered, “I think so. I guess Uncle Li is at least a highly-skilled doctor!”
“Is he so great?”
Jiang Miaoyu was surprised and asked, “How do you know that?”
“I’m not sure, but the man who can create this kind of anesthesia skill is no weaker than a highly-skilled doctor. Don’t you think so?” Fang Qiu said.
“I think so.”
Jiang Miaoyu nodded approvingly before she made a halt, suddenly frowned, and cried, “I am very angry!”
“What?”
Fang Qiu was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Miaoyu in bewilderment.
Wasn’t everything all right between them?
Did he say anything?
Why was she angry?
“What?”
Jiang Miaoyu pouted and grumbled moodily, “You have studied medicine for less time than I have, but you are so good at bonesetting, acupuncture, and Qi. The more… the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Ahh!!!” she cried.
Fang Qiu looked at Jiang Miaoyu and couldn’t help laughing. “What are you angry at? You just have to be a beautiful girlfriend.”
“Hump, no.”
Jiang Miaoyu groaned and said, “I have an excellent master now. You’ll see.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu chuckled and said, “Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”
Jiang Miaoyu clenched her pink fist and demonstrated it to Fang Qiu, then took Fang Qiu’s arm and asked, “Are you really not going to treat that woman?”
“Doctors shouldn’t treat people voluntarily,” Fang Qiu uttered.
“I see.”
Jiang Miaoyu nodded knowingly.
During their conversation, Jiang Miaoyu’s hand that took Fang Qiu’s arm reached down and happily clasped with Fang Qiu’s hand.
“Look.”
Fang Qiu reached out and pointed forward.
Jiang Miaoyu looked in the direction he pointed.
She saw a little boy, about two years old, trying to snap a rose in a flowerbed outside the garden ahead, but he was too little to make it.
As Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu looked at each other and smiled, a loud shout came.
Hearing the shout, the kid looked back, and then at the flower. The next moment, he shook his hand, turned suddenly, and staggered off.
As soon as the kid left, Fang Qiu’s eyes turned to the drooping rose.
Not knowing why, he took Jiang Miaoyu and subconsciously walked over.
Then he let go of Jiang Miaoyu’s hand, crouched down, and held the drooping rose with both hands, straightening the rod. Then he activated his mental power and began to recover the rod.
Standing beside him, Jiang Miaoyu looked at Fang Qiu inexplicably, but she didn’t speak, because she found that Fang Qiu seemed different. She thought he was lost in something, forgetting himself.
Although she didn’t know why Fang Qiu did it, Jiang Miaoyu didn’t ask and just watched him quietly.
Actually, Fang Qiu didn’t even know why he was doing this. He wanted to do it anyway, as if something was driving him.
However, just as the drooping rose began to slowly recover, Fang Qiu suddenly shuddered and had a moment of enlightenment in his mind!
This enlightenment excited and thrilled him, and it even made him feel that he was about to break through to the Friendly Realm in bonesetting.
It was close.
“What is it?”
Fang Qiu frowned and muttered, “Almost. What is this?”
Suddenly, Fang Qiu’s eyes lit up.
He suddenly stood up, grabbed Jiang Miaoyu’s hand, and then hurried back to the same way, moving toward the hospital.
“It’s the patient, it’s the treatment, a lot of therapeutic experience.”
He was overwhelmed with excitement, but he had no time to explain that to Jiang Miaoyu.
Jiang Miaoyu looked blank.
Soon, the two returned to the hospital and walked to the orthopedics department on the sixth floor.
Outside of Uncle Li’s ward, Fang Qiu ran into Li Shan.
“Gee, you?”
When he saw Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu, Li Shan asked, “Didn’t you leave?”
Jiang Miaoyu shook her head with a wry smile and pointed to Fang Qiu.
“Can I work in the orthopedics department of your hospital?” Fang Qiu asked immediately.
“What?”
Li Shan paused, somewhat puzzled.
“I want to set bones for free,” Fang Qiu said straightforwardly.
“That’s, not appropriate.”
Li Shan frowned and added, “You’re not a doctor at our hospital. It’s really inappropriate to give free bonesetting in our hospital.”
“Is there any way you can help me?” Fang Qiu asked.
“No, this is really helpless.”
Li Shan said with a wry smile, “Your request is in conflict with the hospital’s interest. Other departments do not care, but the orthopedics department certainly would not allow you to do so. If you do it for free, they will have fewer patients and worse benefits. You indirectly affect their interests. How could they let you do that?”
Fang Qiu started fretting.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the ward.
“Who’s there?”
Hearing the question, the three walked into the ward.
“Why are you back?” Uncle Li asked curiously, looking at Fang Qiu.
“I want to find some patients and set their bones for free,” Fang Qiu explained.
“Oh?”
Uncle Li asked, out of curiosity, “Why?”
“I feel like my bonesetting skill is about to go to the next level. I need patients now,” Fang Qiu answered truthfully.
“I see.”
Uncle Li nodded his head knowingly before he pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll help you with that. You go to the orthopedics department first.”
“Thank you, Uncle Li,” Fang Qiu uttered, and then walked out of the ward, going toward the orthopedic clinic down the hall.
