Chapter 9 Bet

Thinking of the messy things that happened last night, Chen Xu shook his head helplessly, simply cleaned up, checked out and left the small hotel, and after having breakfast on the side of the road, he also began to plan his future.

Now there are only more than a hundred left in his pocket, if he wants to gain a foothold in this big city, he must find a job, maybe it is instinctive, maybe it is a subconscious reaction, Chen Xu first thought of going to the Chinese medicine clinic, try his luck, and see if people need him.

Walking all the way, asking people all the way, he also found a traditional Chinese medicine clinic called "Renhetang" closest to the small hotel, Chen Xu just entered the door, he smelled a burst of herbs, for this taste Chen Xu is familiar with, which makes him feel like he is back in the small clinic in the small mountain village, so that he can't help but inhale the fragrance of this burst of herbs.

The decoration of "Renhetang" is very elegant and unique. With the antique counter and the large medicine cabinet erected on the wall, some employees in the counter are busy grabbing medicines for customers, and some are enthusiastically introducing the uses and medicinal properties of various medicinal materials to customers.

There was a long queue at another counter in the store, and I saw a middle-aged man in a white coat about thirty-four or five years old, sitting at this counter, and his hands were checking the pulse of a middle-aged woman in his forties.

Maybe it was because he saw his peers, Chen Xu couldn't help but step forward curiously, only to hear the man say at this time: "You are just infected with a little cold, I will prescribe a prescription for you to catch two doses of medicine in a while, and it will be fine." ”

As he spoke, the man took the pen and wrote it on the paper, and then handed the prescription to the middle-aged woman, saying, "Just go to the medicine cabinet next to you and grab the medicine." ”

"Thank you, Dr. Lee. The middle-aged woman who took the prescription walked to the medicine cabinet on the side to grab the medicine.

Dr. Li's full name is Li Liangyou, after graduating from Binhai City College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he became a Chinese medicine practitioner in this "Renhetang", and his medical skills are also very skillful, and he can be regarded as a person who can speak in this "Renhetang".

"Next. Waiting for the middle-aged woman to leave, Li Liangyou only opened his mouth at this time.

Chen Xu stood aside and watched Li Liangyou see four or five patients in a row, from taking the pulse to pointing out the cause and pathology to prescribing medicine, Li Liangyou is right, and the prescription for the patient Chen Xu also took a look, and the combination of each traditional Chinese medicine is very consistent with pharmacology and medicinal properties.

It shows the sophistication and calmness of traditional Chinese medicine, but in Chen Xu's opinion, this kind of old-fashioned and calm is just a kind of Chen Jiu's thought that is directly transferred according to the book of traditional Chinese medicine, and there are a few prescriptions that will be greatly enhanced as long as they are slightly changed or added with more herbs, and Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

Li Liangyou also kept noticing Chen Xu who was standing aside, originally thought that he was a patient who came to see a doctor, but his complexion did not look like a sick person, seeing him standing there and observing himself to see a patient, he sighed and shook his head from time to time, which made Li Liangyou very angry, and couldn't help shouting: "Young man, are you here to see a doctor?" If so, please go to the back and queue up, don't cut the queue here." ”

Ah?" Hearing Li Liangyou's shouting, he looked at himself in the long line, and thought that he was cutting in line, which made Chen Xu blush, and quickly shook his head and explained: "No, no, no, I'm not here to see a doctor, I ......"

Li Liangyou's face looked at Chen Xu unkindly for a long time: "Then you are here to grab medicine?"

"Not really. Chen Xu shook his head and said.

Li Liangyou said with a hint of anger on his face: "Neither! Then what are you doing standing here shaking your head and sighing? Don't you know that this will affect my treatment of patients?"

"Yes... I'm sorry I'm just ......"

Chen Xu hurriedly nodded and apologized, but before he finished speaking, he saw Li Liangyou waving his hand and interrupting: "Young man, if it's okay, please leave quickly, don't hinder me from seeing a doctor here." ”

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask if you are still recruiting apprentices here?" Chen Xu did not turn around and leave, but apologized this time and explained his intention.

"Huh?" Li Liangyou couldn't help but glance at Chen Xu more, he was indeed a rare beautiful man, but judging from his age, he was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and the one who came to their "Renhetang" as an apprentice was not a Chinese medicine practitioner who had studied for a while.

What's more, the current "Renhetang" is not recruiting, thinking about the young man just now who disturbed himself to see a patient for the patient, which made this Li Liangyou a little dissatisfied, and said a little domineering at the moment: "We are no longer recruiting, if there is nothing to do, leave quickly, don't hinder me from doing things here." ”

Li Liangyou's tone made Chen Xu a little uncomfortable, and he didn't hinder him by standing here, but hearing that he was not recruiting people, this made Chen Xu disappointed for a while, and he was about to open his mouth to grind his mouth, but Li Liangyou had already started to take the pulse of the next patient, which made it difficult for Chen Xu to continue to ask.

At this moment, Li Liangyou has already begun to see a doctor, the patient is an eight or nine-year-old boy, and after a few minutes of hard work, he came to the conclusion: "There is no big problem, just take a few pieces of Chinese medicine"

"Is it really okay?" the child's parents asked again, a little uneasy.

"Of course, my Renhetang brand is not the first day it was opened," Li Liangyou said proudly.

"Thank you, doctor," the child's parents said respectfully.

"Next" Li Liangyou nodded arrogantly, and then continued.

"Wait" Chen Xu, who was watching from the side, suddenly interrupted Li Liangyou's words, which also attracted everyone's attention.

"Come on, get this stinky boy out of me" Li Liangyou couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw Chen Xu who spoke up.

"Wait a minute, are you sure that child is okay? If you take your Chinese medicine, I'm afraid that this child will be dying" Chen Xu glanced at Li Liangyou, who looked like a superior person, before continuing: "That child does not seem to have any problems, but if you go down with your heat-clearing and detoxification potion, I'm afraid that the child will really have an accident."

"You.... Come on, what are you looking at, kick out the whole nonsense for me" was talked nonsense in front of so many people like Chen Xu, Li Liangyou was very angry.

"Hmph, ignorance, quack doctors mislead people" Chen Xu didn't resist, and let the guys in the store drag him out, but coldly dropped such a sentence.

"Wait a minute, young man, you just said that our child would have an accident if he took this medicine, what the hell is going on" The little boy's mother suddenly stopped Chen Xu and asked with a worried face.

"Auntie, your child is just cold inside, and it looks like a false fire, so once you eat those heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese medicines, I'm afraid the child will not be able to stand it, and even if it is serious, it will be life-threatening" Chen Xu didn't say it very profoundly, but simply said it.

When everyone heard Chen Xu's words, they all looked at Li Liangyou, waiting for his answer.

"Stinky boy, it seems that you are here to smash the field, but to send you such a reckless hairy boy, is it too arrogant, since you said so sure and confident, then do you have a way to deal with this boy's illness? If you can, I will kowtow to you and kneel and admit that I was wrong, otherwise, hum, don't blame me"

Li Liangyou's intentions can be described as vicious, not only did he not admit his misdiagnosis, but instead took advantage of the situation to push all the problems to Chen Xu, and asked Chen Xu to cure the little boy's illness on the spot, it is really too difficult for a strong man, no matter what, he is invincible.

Because no one would believe that Chen Xu, a young and somewhat excessive person, would know Chinese medicine, after all, Chinese medicine is a broad and profound discipline, and time is indispensable if you want to learn to be proficient.

It's a pity that he met Chen Xu.

"Okay, but I want to remember what you said" Being despised for his medical skills, Chen Xu was also rarely stiffened, and then walked to the little boy.

In front of everyone's eyes, Chen Xu started his own movements, he was not reckless, first called the pulse, then checked the little boy's palm and under the tongue, and then took out the silver needles in the cuffs, and under the dazzling gaze of everyone, nine silver needles pierced the little boy's abdomen.

Then he put his right hand on the little boy's back and gently pushed it.

After Chen Xu's series of actions, the eyes of the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but change a little, and even some people began to believe this young man's words, after all, the needle technique was convincing when he looked at it.

After five or six minutes of massage, Chen Xu withdrew his right hand, and then began to collect the needle, and when it was all over, the little boy suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a lot of filth at once.

When the little boy finished cleaning his own hygiene and walked back to the lobby of Renhetang accompanied by his mother, everyone's eyes were focused on the little boy.

I saw that the little boy at this moment had a ruddy face, red lips and white teeth, and his mental head was not many times better than before, although the onlookers were not doctors, but they could easily draw a conclusion from this performance, the young man won.

The little boy left Renhetang under the leadership of his mother, but everyone knew that the matter was not over, and the focus of their eyes was all focused on Li Liangyou's somewhat distorted face.

Chen Xu on the side didn't speak, just looked at all this lightly.

Li Liangyou was really annoyed at this moment, the scene just now was not only his personal humiliation, but also about smashing the brand of Renhetang, looking at Chen Xu's young face, his mouth snorted, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

But if he just kneels down and kowtows like this, he really can't do it, it makes him more uncomfortable than killing him.

Looking at Li Liangyou's appearance, the onlookers gradually began to discuss.

"It seems that this Renhetang is not very good."

"yes, if it weren't for this young man, maybe that little boy might have had an accident."

"I didn't expect Dr. Li's medical skills to be so clever."

"It seems that I can't come here in the future, at least I can't let Dr. Li see me."
