Guo Yi returned to the office of the cultural market, took a bath in the bathroom, changed his clothes, and then took a taxi to the address provided by Zhuo Wenqing. It was an old-fashioned residential area with a quiet environment and tall trees.

  Kuo Yao walked to the door of the second floor, feeling a little nervous. Zhuo Wenqing called and said that her father's old leg pain had recurred recently, but didn't say what was going on specifically.

  Guo Yi has accumulated a lot of experience through this period of squatting in Qixian Town, and his control over white energy has also made significant progress. However, overall, he is still good at treating external injuries, but for the spread of pathological cells caused by various reasons in the body, and the invasion of viruses on the human body, there is no good way to deal with it yet.

  Alas, I don't know what's wrong with this old man.

  This is the second time I've gone to Zhang Hongyan's house. Last time, not only did I fail to remove her scars and blemishes, but I also accidentally gave her that thing. That girl looks like she's not a good person, I don't know how she'll take revenge on me. It's been a while since then, but there's still no movement, and Guo Yi himself is feeling a bit guilty.

  He arrived at the door and knocked gently.

  A light and nimble footstep sounded, and the door opened.

  "Sister!"

  It was then that Guo Yi realized he had nothing in his hands and suddenly felt embarrassed. He said:

  "Look at me, I actually forgot to buy something!"

  Zhuo Wenqing scolded:

  "Come on, you haven't even started working yet, what are you going to buy with that little money? Hurry up and come in."

  Guo Yue smiled and walked in, took a glance at the living room, and her mind went blank with a loud crash - Oh my god, how did she end up here?

  What's wrong with what comes? Zhang Hongyan is actually here, she wears a purple dress, elegant and refined, like a blooming violet, sitting on the sofa, looking towards the door.

  Kuo Yi's first thought was to run, but then she felt that Zhang Hongyan's expression was very normal, normally somewhat eerie. Her beautiful face wore a faint smile, polite and reserved, as if facing a stranger.

  Did I mistake you for someone else?

  Kuo Yi was taken aback for a moment, but he was also extremely quick-witted. He thought that since she hadn't had an outburst, it meant he wasn't in immediate danger, and he couldn't afford to lose his footing first. Smiling, he nodded towards the people in the living room, only then noticing that there were two familiar faces among them - Zhao Fengtu and his son!

  Guo Yi remembered that this middle-aged man, who wore glasses and had a slightly yellow complexion, was appointed as the deputy director by Old Master Tang. No matter what department he was in, Guo Yi had never seen an official of this level before.

  Zhao Fengtu didn't expect to run into Guo Yi here either. He was slightly taken aback, then stood up and smiled:

  "What a coincidence, Mr. Guo, you're here too?"

  Zhai Yifei also greeted him saying:

  "Brother Guo!"

  Kuo Yi hastily said:

  "Director Guo, just call me Little Guo, at my age, being called 'Mr.' is not suitable!"

  An old man with white hair and a red face next to him said in surprise:

  "Little Zhao, do you know each other?"

  "Yes, I've met Little Guo a few times. Old Chief, don't look down on Little Guo just because he's young, his antique restoration skills are absolutely top-notch! This time in Yang City, my eyes have been opened - although Yang City is small, it's indeed a place where hidden dragons and sleeping tigers reside!"

  The old man looked at Guo Yi in surprise. Zhao Fengtu was once an officer under his command, so he knew him well. He wasn't someone who would easily praise others. Since he said this young man's skills were top-notch, there wouldn't be any exaggeration. But wasn't Guo Yi the one his daughter had brought to treat her illness? How did he become a antique restoration expert?

  This old man is Zhuo Wenqing's father, named Zhuo Huaxiong, originally the deputy commander of a certain military region, and has now retired due to physical reasons.

  Zhuo Hua looked at his daughter with a puzzled expression, and Zhuo Wenqing was also confused. This down-and-out little brother had a magical medical skill, but when did he also learn about antique restoration? Guo Yi hastily changed the subject and said:

  "Ah, Uncle Zhuo, I'm Little Guo. Wen Qing sister told me you're not feeling well, but looking at your rosy complexion, it doesn't seem like you're ill - just that some of the blood vessels aren't flowing smoothly, nothing serious!"

  Zhuo Hua's face changed, and Guo Yi changed the subject. He could naturally see it, but he didn't expect Guo Yi to actually reveal his illness with one sentence. He turned his head to look at his daughter, had she ever told him about her own illness? Knowing a daughter is not like knowing a father, Zhuo Wenqing only looked at her father's expression and knew what he was thinking, so she smiled and shook her head, unexpectedly this younger brother could still surprise people!

  A middle-aged beauty beside him hastily stood up and said:

  "Is it effective?"

  Kuo Yi was taken aback. This woman's facial features were 70% similar to Zhuo Wenqing's, elegant and beautiful, and he couldn't tell her age. He hesitated and asked:

  "Who are you?"

  "Is this my mom?"

  Aunt?

  Kuo Yechen was shocked, not flattering, he really didn't dare to treat this beautiful woman as Zhuo Wenching's mother. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhuo Wenching's father, the old man slightly proudly said:

  "Who would have thought I'd have such a young and beautiful wife?"

  Everyone burst out laughing, but Zhuo's mother blushed slightly and scolded:

  "What nonsense is this child talking about!"

  Guo Yi secretly gave the old man a thumbs up!

  Zhuo Mu anxiously asked about her husband's illness:

  "Dr. Guo, you just said her father's illness is not serious and can be cured?"

  Guo Yebai waved his hand and said:

  "Auntie, don't call me 'husband', I'm not a husband, just call me Little Guo!"

  "Aren't you a doctor?"

  Zhuo's mother was taken aback, and although she concealed it well on her face, Gu Yao could still see her disappointment. In fact, from the moment Gu Yao entered the door, Zhuo's mother had been disappointed. The problem that many famous experts couldn't solve, this young man could solve it so easily? Medical skills are something that need to be accumulated bit by bit, and those renowned professors, which one of them isn't at least middle-aged or older?

  What's more, he isn't even a doctor. My daughter is really getting more and more unreasonable as she gets older. Can her father's illness be joked about?

  Just now, Guo Yi's words revealed her husband's illness, and she suddenly felt a little lucky in her heart. Now, Guo Yi's words have completely dispelled her luck, and she sighed, losing interest in asking further.

  It was Zhao's father and son who were very curious about how this master of the antique world also understood medicine. Zhao Fengtu couldn't help but ask:

  "Does Little Guo still know medicine?"

  Kuo Yeh came today for a medical examination, he can't say no, he said:

  "Just know the surface but not the substance, Director Zhao —"

  "In Old Master's house, it doesn't matter if you're a hall master or not. You and Yi Fei are about the same age, so if you don't mind, just call him Uncle."

  Kuo Yi smiled and said:

  "Uncle Zhao, you need to pay attention to your rest recently! Your appetite is poor now, work is busy, it's easy to get tired, if you don't pay attention to rest, it will affect your body!"

  Zhao Fengtu's face changed, he was so astute that he knew Guo Yi had already discovered his illness. Cadres of their level were required to undergo regular physical examinations, and he himself was well aware of his own physical condition. Although he had been taking medication all along, the disease actually had no specific cure, and now it could only be maintained, but the condition was getting worse day by day.

  Zhao Fengtu let out a soft sigh and said:

  "Yes, it's time to take a rest!"

  He was originally in his prime, with a strong physique and excellent performance on the job. He had been doing well and was expected to go further, but unexpectedly he contracted hepatitis B. Just a few days ago, the doctor told him that his liver was showing signs of cirrhosis, which is the second stage of what people commonly refer to as "the three stages of hepatitis B (hepatitis B - cirrhosis - liver cancer)".

  Although he was not reconciled, he could not contend with fate. Now thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and desolation. The once renowned Deputy Director Zhao now seemed to have an inexplicable sense of helplessness and depression. However, he quickly adjusted from this negative emotion and smiled:

  "There's nothing here, you quickly show it to Lao Shou Zhang!"

  Zhuo's father anxiously asked:

  "Xiao Zhao, what's wrong? You haven't been feeling well lately?"

  Zhao Fengtu burst out laughing:

  "It's nothing, you don't know about my body yet? It's still great! Didn't you say back then that we old guys can't be knocked down by illness?"

  A brilliant light flashed in Zhuo Hua's eyes, as if he had returned to his youthful years, and he sighed softly:

  "Got old??????"

  "Old man, let me take your pulse!"

  "Are you still studying traditional Chinese medicine?"

  "Yeah, just something I picked up at home, nothing special."

  The old man stretched out his arm with a flourish, but the daughter beside him secretly rolled her eyes. His injured right arm was obvious, yet he insisted on stretching out his left arm, clearly not trusting others! Now, she's really starting to worry about Guo Yao. After all, Guo Yao is too young and hasn't received any formal medical education, this pulse thing is deep, can't you just ask directly?

  Guo Yi's right index finger pressed on the old man's left wrist, and he didn't speak for a while.

  Everyone focused their attention on Guo Yi. Although Zhuo Mu didn't believe that Guo Yi would have any unusual behavior, out of concern for her old partner, she couldn't help but glance over in this direction.

  Zhuo Wencheng's heart was filled with anxiety, fearing that Guo Yao's words would be too perfect and ultimately lead to ridicule. Zhao Shi and his son were showing genuine concern, while the other was driven by curiosity. Only Zhang Hongyan maintained a calm smile, observing quietly without revealing her emotions.

  After a brief pause, Guo Yi finally spoke up and said:

  "Uncle Zhuo, this is an old wound, it should have been... hmm, more than 30 years ago!"

  Everyone's face changed instantly. After a moment of stunned silence, Zhuo Mu's heart reignited with hope! This was also too incredible, the pulse diagnosis could actually diagnose the time of injury!

  The old man hadn't spoken yet, but Zhuo's mother had already stood up and excitedly said:

  "Not bad, not bad, can you cure it?"

  Guo Yixin secretly let out a sigh of relief, although he could tell it was an old injury, but exactly how many years, he couldn't see. However, on the day he visited Zhuo Wencheng's residence, he saw a group photo of soldiers with a stone tablet - Lao Shan Main Peak!

  Obviously, the old man had been through the Vietnam War!

  But his wound is on the bone!

  Vietnam War veteran, old wound, and the wound is on the bone. These three points are not difficult to judge that the old man was injured in the Vietnam War! Of course, it's also possible that it's a coincidence, but the probability of that isn't high. You can take a gamble with your luck, losing doesn't matter much, anyway, you're still young, right?

  Since it's like this, Guo Yi continued saying:

  "This injury is on the bone, causing damage to the ulnar nerve. Given the limited medical conditions at that time, your bone has healed but it's a malunion. As time goes by, the meridians of the injured area will be affected, muscles will atrophy, accompanied by numbness, tingling and other sensations. Moreover, this pain will become more severe with the passage of time."

  Guo Yi stole a glance and found himself surrounded by shocked gazes, including Zhang Hongyan's!
