C13 Charlatan
Xu Qiong's family lived in a village in a suburban area of Riverface City. Song Liangwou drove the two of them there. After driving for more than two hours, they finally saw a row of low rise houses.
"You live here?" Although she had guessed at Xu Qiong's family background, when she saw the rows and rows of collapsed houses, she couldn't help but be stupefied.
Xu Qiong nodded. "The one at the back of the second alley to the north is my home."
It had rained a few days ago, so it was a little difficult for Song Liangwei to walk. Several times, she almost fell to the ground and couldn't help but complain: "Why is the road like this, even the officials aren't going to fix it?"
Seeing the look in her eyes, Liu Cheng felt that it was a little funny. He hurriedly supported her arm and smiled, "Miss Song, it looks like you don't come to the countryside often. How can you possibly understand the hardships of the common people?"
Although the Song Family was no longer the same as before, but after marrying, they became wealthy wives who didn't care about the sun and spring water, and they had never been to this sort of place before.
Xu Qiong led the way as Liu Cheng followed closely behind her, supporting Song Liangwei with his arm. His arm felt very good, and now that the two of them were so close together, they could both smell each other's scent.
One was a young man with a strong manly aura; the other was a woman with an exquisite figure and a feminine air.
For a time, their hearts could not help but tremble slightly as an inexplicable feeling grew within them.
"Sis Song, Big Brother Liu, this is my home!" Xu Qiong's sudden voice interrupted the two's reverie.
"Alright, it's alright now. I can leave by myself!" A layer of blush appeared on Song Liangtou's face as she gently pulled away from Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng embarrassedly rubbed his nose, then followed Xu Qiong and Song Lian into the old house.
The three of them had just entered when they heard a burst of noise. They turned a corner, and it just so happened to be Xu Qiong's father's room.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Xu Qiong saw a middle-aged man sitting by her father's window, reaching out his hand to feel something on her father's body.
Mrs Xu turned her head and saw Xu Qiong, her tears almost falling, "My daughter, why are you back?" Those people didn't do anything to you, did they? "
Xu Qiong shook her head, then turned her head to look at Liu Cheng and Song Lian, "It's fine, it's these two big brothers and big sister that saved me!"
Only then did Xu Qiuyi's mother notice that behind Xu Qiong were two other young strangers. Just as she was about to speak, she was scolded by the middle-aged man beside the bed: "Lower your voice, don't blame me for delaying the patient's condition!"
Mrs Xu immediately shut her mouth, pulling Xu Qiong along as she softly explained, "This is a benevolent person, an old Chinese doctor. He came to treat your father's illness, and Dr Wu was especially miraculous. Just having massaged your father for a short while, he stopped hurting her."
"Ah." Xu Qiong was stunned. She was clearly a bit surprised, and then looked towards Liu Cheng and Song Liangtou.
When Liu Cheng heard his mother's words, he smiled and walked up to her bedside, sizing up her expression.
According to what Xu Qiong had said before, it was kidney failure. Many large hospitals all said that one could only switch kidneys, but matching kidney sources was extremely difficult, and without a suitable kidney source, hundreds of thousands of dollars, one wouldn't be able to get it. This was no different from a fantasy story for the entire Xu Family.
"Who is this young man?" Mrs Xu asked curiously.
"His name is Liu Cheng. He was the one who saved me, and he's also here to treat Dad!" Xu Qiong whispered.
Mrs Xu was even more surprised, "He can see a doctor at such a young age?" My daughter, your father is not having a cold or fever, that's kidney failure, not someone who can be easily taken care of. Quickly tell this young man to move aside, don't affect Doctor Wu's treatment! "
As she spoke, she was about to pull Liu Cheng away. Xu Qiong quickly stopped her mother and said, "Mom, don't worry. I feel like Big Brother Liu is more reliable than that Doctor Wu!" Ever since Liu Cheng's punch had struck Wang Hai, Xu Qiong had an indescribable confidence in him.
Seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, his mother sighed helplessly.
The room wasn't big. Although Xu Qiuyi and her mother's conversation wasn't loud, everyone could hear it clearly.
Liu Cheng stared silently at Mr Xu's expression. Song Lian was also curious to see if Liu Cheng really knew how to see a doctor.
On the other hand, Wu Man's expression changed slightly as he stood up and glanced at Liu Cheng. He said in a strange tone, "Young man, your medical skills are incredibly profound. I wonder if you are learning western or traditional Chinese medicine?"
Liu Cheng thought for a moment. At that time, Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty still hadn't learned western medicine. He said, "It's a coincidence that I've studied traditional Chinese medicine for a few years. Does Doctor Wu have any advice for me?"
"Hehe," Wu Ji raised his eyebrows as he looked at Liu Cheng arrogantly, "You've only been studying for a few years, and yet you still dare to come out and treat a patient. Aren't you afraid that you'll ruin your master's reputation by taking the wrong medicine?"
After saying that, his voice suddenly rose. Other than Liu Cheng, no one present could help but tremble. Especially Mrs Xu, she was even more worried about Liu Cheng.
Traditional Chinese medicine was always difficult to understand. Ordinary doctors who had not studied for ten or twenty years would never be able to see a doctor by themselves. This was also the reason why traditional Chinese medicine was becoming more and more declining.
When Liu Cheng heard Wu Gou's words, he immediately smiled and asked, "Looks like Doctor Wu has been outstanding in Chinese medicine for decades. Then, I would like to ask Doctor Wu, what is called the Five Evils?" What is the theory of three causes? What is pathological change? "What is the disease transformation?"
These were all some obscure and obscure Chinese medical theories, and most people had never heard of them. Although this Wu Ji claimed that he was some kind of godly doctor, he only had a few flowery tricks up his sleeve and was immediately questioned. His entire body was stupefied as he pointed at Liu Cheng, "You, you …"
"I what?" The corner of Liu Cheng's mouth curled up into a sneer, "The so-called internal five evils refers to the internal movement of wind and qi, the generation of cold, the generation of dampness and turbidity, the development of internal heat and dryness due to injuries, and as for the theory of three factors, it is the external, internal and not external factors. "Hehe, do you need me to explain it to you?"
Noticing the doubt in his mother's eyes, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Xu, this illness of your man needs to be treated from the outside. According to the medicine, if you really want to see him, you should expel these unrelated people immediately!"
As his mother was wondering, Xu Qiong immediately asked, "Why are you rushing? This is my home, big brother Liu is my savior, I invited him back, didn't you say you are a genius doctor? Then why don't you know anything that Big Brother Liu asked you? "
Even Song Lian was curious. Could it be that this Liu Cheng really was a well-hidden national hand in Chinese medicine?
"Alright, if you can't do it then hurry up and get out of the way. Don't delay the patient's condition!" Liu Cheng waved at Wu Man, not even bothering to glance at him.
