Chapter Thirty: Sin Plus
Chen Yifan and Liu Qingyao were taken to Zhang Zhu's home.
This place is a county under Wancheng, called Xichuan County.
In the small home, besides Zhang Zhu, there was an old man with white hair. Zhang Zhu said that he was his father.
On the way, Zhang Zhuye told Chen Yifan that his old father was an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the county. He usually lived in the county by himself and treated people when they came to see a doctor.
However, Zhang Zhu was not good at studying, so he could only come back from the city in his spare time and go up the mountain to help his old father collect herbs.
Hearing that someone wanted to stay, Zhang Zhu's father happily made a room for Chen Yifan and Liu Qingyao.
Although the two made it clear that they are not a couple.
But the old man insisted on saying that this was the only room left.
Liu Qingyao was speechless, but she could only enter the room with Chen Yifan.
Chen Yifan let Liu Qingyao sleep on the bed while he sat cross-legged on the side.
Liu Qingyao lay on the bed tossing and turning in the middle of the night without falling asleep. Thinking about everything that happened today, she glanced at Chen Yifan a few more times.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Chen Yifan heard someone coming to look for Zhang Zhu's father.
The voice was a little rushed.
"Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang..."
Zhang Zhu came out and opened the door, and a man and a woman walked in.
When the woman saw Zhang Zhu's father, she hurriedly spoke.
"Doctor Zhang, last night my husband suddenly developed a row of bright blisters on his waist. Please take a look..."
Chen Yifan had also stretched out and walked out of the room at this moment, and saw the patient lifting up the clothes on his lower back.
"Snake disc sore..."
Zhang Zhu's father only said these three words.
The woman was immediately startled.
She had heard about the power of snakebite. She heard that once it grows enough along the waist, a person's life will be gone.
"Then please take a look quickly, Doctor Zhang."
Zhang Zhu's father took his time and took out a piece of white cloth from the house and spread it on the table. Then he wrapped a kitchen knife and pointed at the affected area while mumbling something.
"The snake's wound is shining on the sun. You are the little dragon king in the sky. I ask you to make rain but you can't. How can you make it on a human body? First cut off your head and then your waist..."
Chen Yifan became interested.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many ways to treat snake sores. Chen Yifan had heard of a method of chanting a mantra earlier, but he didn’t know it himself and had never seen anyone use it. Today I saw this bamboo’s father using this method.
He applied the method and watched with interest.
Not long after the mantra was recited, the pained expression on the patient's face became lighter and lighter.
"It doesn't hurt anymore..." the man murmured softly.
Zhang Zhu's father was talking to the patient about the precautions. Seeing that Chen Yifan was also interested in this mantra, he happily introduced these mantras to Chen Yifan.
But at this moment, several people in uniforms walked in.
At first glance, it seems that the person who came here is not a good person.
When Zhang Zhu's father saw these people, the cheerful expression on his face froze and he hurriedly spoke.
"I won't do it anymore, I won't do it anymore..."
Chen Yifan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what it meant.
Zhang Zhu was also stunned.
Those guys in uniforms spoke fiercely to Zhang Zhu's father.
"What's going on? I've checked you over and over again, but you just don't have a long memory, don't you? I was originally here to collect a fine today, but you are practicing medicine illegally, so your crime will be increased! The original fine was 50,000, but now it's 100,000!"
Zhang Zhu's father suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"I just...it's just too painful to see them..."
Seeing his father like this, Zhang Zhu spoke.
"Dad, what's going on? What's going on with this fine?"
"They... they came to check on me half a month ago, saying that I was practicing medicine illegally, and fined me 50,000 yuan..."
Zhang Zhu immediately raised his head and stared at the people who came in to collect fines.
"Why do you impose fines? My dad is in his seventies or eighties, how do you ask him to take the medical qualification certificate test? Besides, when my dad practiced medicine, the people who made the rules for practicing medicine were not even born yet! In recent years, although the introduction of
I have a medical qualification certificate, but the policy is still very tolerant to my dad, an older doctor who has been practicing medicine all his life. As long as there are no problems, he will not be held accountable. Besides, my dad has a record with the health bureau.
Are you here to check again now?"
"We don't care if you register or not. If you don't have a medical qualification certificate, you will be fined!"
The two patients who had just seen the doctor also helped to talk.
"Doctor Zhang has helped a lot of us. If it weren't for Dr. Zhang, we wouldn't be able to afford medical treatment."
"Yes, yes, we are all from the countryside and can't afford to go to a big hospital. Dr. Zhang's prescriptions are low and we can afford them. We don't even need medicine for some minor ailments. If you force Dr. Zhang to quit,
, how can we afford medical treatment in the future..."
"Then we don't care, we just collect the fines!"
While talking, these people started pushing and shoving.
Chen Yifan was just talking to Zhang Zhu's father about the snake coil sore curse, and was standing next to him at the moment.
Although the old man was still in good health, he was still in his seventies or eighties. When he saw several people pushing him, Chen Yifan subconsciously protected the old man.
"Oh, don't do it."
"Who are you? Nothing happens to you! Get out of here!"
Chen Yifan was reluctant to hear this.
"Even if you ask people to pay a fine, is it so violent?"
"none of your business?"
"I have a friend who works in the Health Bureau. What are your names? I'll ask my friend if there is anything that requires you to collect fines."
Upon arrival, Chen Yifan also thanked Zhang Zhu for bringing him and Liu Qingyao down from the mountain and taking him in for one night.
Secondly, there are fewer and fewer people who know some ancient Chinese medical skills. If we continue to suppress them, is it possible that we have to force those ancient medical skills that have been passed down for thousands of years to pass away?
No matter which of the two purposes it was for, Chen Yifan took care of this business.
Of course I have no friends in the Health Bureau, but when I opened a clinic, Lin Lin had arranged everything for me. If I didn't know anyone, I could go to Lin Lin.
"Just you? Are you asking for our names? Are you worthy?"
Although these harsh words were still spoken out, Chen Yifan always felt that the other party was a bit unsure of himself when he said such harsh words.
Chen Yifan chuckled lightly.
"Why, you don't want me to ask? It doesn't matter. I can just call and ask if this is the case."
Lin Lin's phone number was dialed.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, what's going on this early in the morning?"
"Please help me ask if there are people from the Health Bureau in Xichuan County collecting fines."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, wait for me and I'll get back to you in a moment."
After saying that, Lin Lin hung up the phone.
When those people saw the phone was hung up, they looked at each other.
"Who are you trying to scare? What are you pretending to be?"
"Why do you call it a scare?" Chen Yifan laughed. "You collect fines according to procedures. I called you and asked, why did it become a scare?"
