Chapter 4: Can Car Repair Cure Illness?

  The next morning.

  Fengcheng County is located at the intersection of four provinces, and in recent years, it has developed at an exceptionally rapid pace, especially in the electric tricycle industry, which accounts for 70-80% of the national market share. Not only has this played a crucial role in Fengcheng County's economy, but it has also created many billionaires.

  On the car to Fengcheng County, Mo Wenfeng said calmly: "When you arrive at the place, don't care who the other person is, just figure out what's wrong with him and start treating him."

  "Teacher, I... am I allowed to?"

  Mo Wenhua said, "In my opinion, your knowledge is sufficient, what's lacking is clinical practice. Xiao Yi, I once heard you say that not attending university was one of your regrets. If this treatment is successful, I'll recommend you to go study at the Medical College of Jingnan University."

  Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded.

  Go to college?

  He had dreamed of it countless times, but the embarrassing life and cruel reality made him deeply bury this luxury in his heart.

  The teacher's words were like bringing him a ray of dawn.

  Suddenly, he remembered the spring eye that appeared in his dantian.

  Should I tell the teacher about the strange symptoms in my body?

  After careful consideration, he decided not to tell the teacher for the time being. The jade pendant was given by Situ Wenyan, and he believed she must have known what was going on. If they could meet again in the future, he would ask her about the situation first.

  A unique and luxurious mansion with a grand style.

  In a luxurious bedroom in a three-story European-style villa, Li Jianhua lay emaciated on the bed.

  He is the big boss of Kaidi Electric Vehicle Company in Fengcheng County, with assets worth hundreds of millions and extensive connections, making him a prominent figure in Fengcheng County.

  There were two other people in the room at that time. One was Li Jianhua's son, Li Xiaozhi, and the other was Sun Changbo, the director of Fengcheng County Hospital.

  "Director Sun, my dad's illness has been treated by countless doctors and experts, but so far, it can only be stabilized, not cured. Is this person you've invited capable?" Li Xiaozhi, 27 or 28 years old, had a skeptical look on his handsome face.

  "Will do? I dare say, if he can't cure it, probably no one in our country can cure your father's illness. I've invited him to come out of retirement many times, but he never wanted to. Last night, he personally called me and asked me to find a wealthy patient for him. Since you and your dad have a very good relationship, I naturally thought of him first. When he arrives later, you must be respectful and polite, got it?"

  Li Xiaoqi nodded and said: "One hundred thousand cash, I have already prepared it."

  A few minutes later.

  After Sun Changbo answered a phone call, he immediately rushed to the hospital entrance with Li Xiaozhi.

  "Master Mo, I've been waiting for the stars and moon, and finally, you're here. Even now that I see you, it feels like a dream, I'm too excited." Sun Changbo's gaze quickly swept over Zhang Yi's body before he spoke with reverence and barely contained excitement.

  Mo Wenfeng smiled faintly and said, "No need to be polite. This time I'm asking for your help, so it's only right that I should thank you."

  "No, no, this is what I should do."

  Li Xiao Zhi's gaze swept over Zhang Yi and Mo Wen Feng, when he saw Zhang Yi, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

  What did he come here for?

  Director Sun helped invite the doctor who treated his father, not a car repairman?

  He suppressed the astonishment in his heart and looked at Mo Wenfeng: "Old Mo, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you this time. My dad's illness..."

  Mo Wenhua waved his hand to interrupt Li Xiaozhi's speech, pointing to Zhang Yi beside him and said lightly: "The person in charge of treating the disease today is not me, but my apprentice!"

  "Him?"

  Li Xiao Zhi looked at Zhang Yi with a face full of astonishment, and then a look of disdain appeared in his eyes. He pointed at Zhang Yi's nose and loudly jeered: "What kind of international joke is this? He's just a car repairman, how can...how can he cure illnesses? It's absurd! It's really too absurd!"

  There is an old saying: "Wind, horse and cow are unrelated."

  At this moment, this sentence is the most real portrayal of Li Xiaozhi's inner heart.

  He had his beloved car repaired at Zhang Yi's repair shop and was very satisfied with Zhang Yi's skills.

  But!

  Can a car mechanic practice medicine?

  He doesn't even believe his own big toe in those Nike sneakers.

  Scammer!

  Absolute super scammer!

  Li Xiao Zhi looked at Mo Wen Feng and Zhang Yi with an unpleasant expression, his eyes occasionally sweeping over Sun Chang Bo's body, also showing a few points of dissatisfaction.

  Sun Changbo admired Mo Wenhua's medical skills to the extreme, and also knew that more than 20 years ago, Mo Wenhua was already a famous master-level figure in the Chinese medicine community.

  If it were Mo Wenfeng's own self-healing therapy for his old friends, he thought that would be absolutely effective, but...he actually let this young man in his early twenties treat him, isn't this a joke?

  As the saying goes: A good teacher produces excellent students.

  But this apprentice is too young!

  He is so young, can he get a few true teachings from Mo Wenhua? Can he have a few brushes?

  However, a giant in the Chinese medical community, unexpectedly accepted an apprentice, which made his heart secretly tremble.

  "Li Xiaozhi, stop talking nonsense. If Old Mo says it can be cured, then there won't be a problem." Sun Changbo said seriously, despite also having doubts in his heart.

  Li Xiaoqi said discontentedly: "Director Sun, I'm not talking nonsense. Ask this kid if he's a repair shop assistant? More than two months ago, my Cadillac broke down and it was him who fixed it. Also, yesterday he was beaten up by Qin Daibiao and several others, but I helped him get out of trouble. Am I right? Zhang Yi..."

  Zhang Yi nodded and said: "That's right, I used to be a repair shop assistant."

  Li Xiaoqi was filled with indignation and loudly disdained, "Director Sun, did you hear that? A repair shop assistant dared to come and say he wants to treat my father's illness? Isn't this swindling?"

  Sun Changbo's face showed a look of astonishment, he didn't expect that Li Xiaozhi actually knew Zhang Yi before, and even more unexpectedly, Zhang Yi used to be a car repairman!

  This...

  "The hero does not ask about his origin, and true gold is not afraid of being smelted by fire. Whether it's a sham or not, will be known after trying."

  Li Xiaoqi rolled his eyes and sneered, "Those who dare to take on the task of handling porcelain are all masters with golden skills. You call this not hitting the wall and turning back? I'd like to see what happens later when you're left with nothing but shame, will your faces turn red like a monkey's butt?"

  Mo Wenfeng didn't bother with Li Xiaozhi again, but instead turned his head to look at Zhang Yi and said in a low voice: "The 'De Chong Fu' chapter of the Zhuangzi records: People do not reflect on flowing water, but rather on still water. Only stillness can calm the multitude of stillnesses. Xiao Yi, tell me what this sentence means."

  Zhang Yi's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and he said respectfully: "Teacher, its meaning is: Why can't people reflect on flowing water? Because flowing water is not flat, only still water can reflect people. So, the level does not flow, like still water clearing waves, being able to do so day and night in still water clearing waves, is the realm of spiritual cultivation."

  Mo Wenhua shook his head and said, "I don't want to hear this."

  Zhang Yi fell silent for a moment before slowly saying: "Expel the distractions, calm the mind like still water. Teacher, I understand your meaning now."

  Mo Wenfeng nodded in satisfaction and turned to Li Xiaoqi, saying calmly: "Lead the way!"

  Li Xiaoqi sneered, "Don't play with profound and mysterious tricks. I think you're just not giving up until you die. Director Sun, you saw it, if they can cure my father, I'll obediently offer them the money and sincerely apologize to them. But if they can't... humph..."

  Originally nervous Zhang Yi quickly adjusted his state:

  A tranquil mind; a clear spirit.

  Entering the luxuriously decorated bedroom, County Hospital Director Sun Changbo said in a low voice with a hint of respect and caution: "Old Mo, if your disciple can't cure my old friend, I still hope you can lend a hand."

  Mo Wenfeng nodded calmly and said, "Xiao Yi, let's begin!"

  "Good!"

  Zhang Yi carried a medicine box and walked to the bedside, his eyes falling on Li Jianhua who was sleeping soundly in bed.

  The four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine: inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and palpation.

  Zhang Yi silently observed Li Jianhua's complexion and flipped open his eyelids, quietly listening to his breathing and heartbeat. After a moment, he reached out to lift the thin quilt, stroking Li Jianhua's legs with both hands before grasping his left wrist pulse while looking at Li Xiaoqi and asking: "The patient has a dull complexion, is emaciated, and has edema in the lower limbs. If I'm not mistaken, previously he should have also had symptoms of decreased appetite, palpitations, insomnia, oliguria, abdominal pain, bloating, and general weakness, right?"

  Li Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then the disdain on his face decreased by a few points. He nodded and said, "Not bad."

  Zhang Yi's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and a thoughtful expression flashed in his eyes.

  Half a minute later.

  Zhang Yisong let go of Li Jianhua's pulse and said, "Just now when I took his pulse, I also looked at the patient's tongue coating. Although there was no abnormality, his gums had bleeding phenomenon. Comprehensive pulse condition and other symptoms, I diagnosed the patient's condition as liver cirrhosis, and it is severe liver cirrhosis."

  Li Xiaoqi suddenly turned his head and looked at Sun Changbo, asking: "Director Sun, you didn't tell them what disease my father had before, did you?"

  Sun Changbo was secretly surprised at Zhang Yi's diagnosis and said, "No. Last night, Old Mo asked me to find a patient, so I told him this place and made an appointment with him. As for your father's condition, I haven't had time to say it yet."

  Li Xiao Zhi's face showed a look of surprise, and he nodded, saying: "You're lucky to have guessed it right, my father did get liver cirrhosis. However, being able to diagnose it doesn't necessarily mean you can treat it."

  Zhang Yi smiled slightly and said after standing up from the bedside: "Acupuncture can be treated, but to completely cure it, it will take about a week."

  "You're also being too optimistic, aren't you? In the past, many old Chinese doctors said they could cure it, but after treating my dad for a long time, they not only delayed his illness but also didn't see any effect. Kid, don't spout nonsense." Li Xiaozhi called out with mixed trust and doubt.

  Mo Wenhua asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yi, tell me the location of the treatment acupoint."

  Zhang Yi ignored Li Xiao Zhi and respectfully said to Mo Wenfeng: "The main points are: Sanyinjiao, Quchi, Gan Shu, Zhongwan, Zhangmen, and Zusanli. The matching points need to be determined according to the patient's symptoms. For heart palpitations and insomnia, add Neiguan and Shenmen two points; for oliguria, add Yinlingquan and Guanyuan two points; for ascites, add Shenshu and Shuifen two points."

  A faint smile appeared on Mo Wenfeng's face, and he came to Li Jianhua's side. After taking his pulse and diagnosing him, he nodded and said, "Not bad, let's start the treatment."

  "Wait!"

  Li Xiaoqi angrily said: "He won't be making things up, will he? Acupuncture treatment isn't something to be taken lightly. What if you end up hurting my dad, can you take responsibility for that?"

  Zhang Yi knew that Li Xiao Zhi's identity was not ordinary, especially since Li Xiao Zhi had helped him yesterday. His heart not only didn't have a hint of fear, but instead had a few parts of gratitude.

  However, the one who didn't hit out with his hand was a smiling face. Since he came here, Li Xiaozhi not only didn't welcome him with a smile but instead brought contempt and sarcasm, and even strong doubts, making this young man, who had more fire in his belly than a mud person, feel a few points of discontent: "Treat or not treat? You decide."

  "Save it, I..."

  Li Xiao Zhi brought that unruly temper, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Chang Bo's low shout:

  "Li Xiaozhi, shut up."

  Li Xiao Zhi held his breath and turned to look at Sun Chang Bo beside him.

  Sun Changbo said in a low voice, "I believe in Old Mo! Besides, there's an unpleasant but reasonable saying: treat a dead horse as if it were alive. Even if there's only a glimmer of hope, don't give up."

  Li Xiao Zhi hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying: "Alright, I agree."

  Zhang Yi took out a small box from the medicine chest, opened it and his eyes fell on a row of silver needles. He quickly pulled one out, disinfected it with alcohol cotton, then said: "Take off the patient's clothes and let him lie on his back."

  Not quite proficient in needle technique, but the entry point is exceptionally accurate.

  Three Yin Points, Qu Chi, Liver Shu...

  Five minutes later.

  "The first round of acupuncture is complete. After completing this treatment, you need to wait for 15 minutes before re-administering the needles, a total of three rounds. Once all three rounds are completed, the patient's condition will improve significantly."

  Zhang Yi's eyes shone with strong self-confidence as he spoke seriously.

  His confidence comes from his teacher Mo Wenfeng.

  He had seen his master perform acupuncture treatments for others, the magical needle techniques and the therapeutic effects, which broadened his horizons.

  And what he did was completely in accordance with the method his master usually taught.

  Li Xiaoqi sneered: "You say what is what? My dad has been in a coma for two days, if you want to prove the effectiveness of the treatment, then let my dad wake up."

  As his words fell, Li Jianhua, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly moved his arm, and then his body also slightly squirmed. His closed eyes slightly opened.

  His unusual behavior caught everyone's attention in the room.

  "What? Awake?"
