Chapter 9: The Plague of Bloodlight
As I walked out of the main building, I was momentarily immersed in the information I had just received.
Combined with Mr. Tian's topic just now, I guess the meaning of the sentence in my father's book is that the human body changes from normal to disease, reflecting a kind of time trajectory. Traditional Chinese medicine can cure diseases, in fact, it pulls the declining human body back to some relatively healthy state in the past, which objectively seems to be a reversal of time.
Not only did I smile self-deprecatingly at the thought of this. If a layman sees this difficult statement, he will probably only understand that a doctor is boasting. It is just a very profound word to promote how effective Chinese medicine is, and there is no other profound meaning.
However, I don't know if it's because of my years of dealing with Chinese medicine by chance, I know that what he said is true, and even know the basis for what he said.
Chinese have been blessed by Materia Medica for thousands of years, not to mention the transformation from disease to health, from aging to youth, otherwise, where did the word "rejuvenation" come from?
It's just that because of the excessive promotion of Western medicine in recent years, everyone has become less and less aware of the things of their ancestors.
The only thing I can't figure out is, what if I know this? Mr. Tian's unfinished "long story", what is the second half of the story?
According to him at the time, his father's book only explained the question of why physics teachers should care about pharmacist training. Isn't that just the beginning?
In fact, if you recall carefully, the collection of books in Mr. Tian's study has shown that he is a medical enthusiast. Perhaps, he is just doing academic research in this area?
Thinking of what living experiments Wang Jianguo mentioned before, I feel that my father's old friend should not do such a immoral thing, right? Anyway, I have read countless people at the medicine window of the unit, how can I see that Mr. Tian is not such a heinous person! also said that Tian Ge was his assistant, would someone take his daughter to do such a hurtful thing? β¦β¦
Suddenly, a guess popped into my mind: should it ...... These two old partners want me to continue their unfinished research business, right? That's still going to be my fate!
I'm not engaged in scientific research, otherwise how could I not be able to read well in the first place?
In fact, being a nurse is quite in line with my personality, except for the occasional slap of the eyes. Don't use your brain, the doctor lists the list, I just see a small needle in my arm, a big needle in my buttocks, and an alcohol bandage on my blood, no need to analyze or judge, how worry-free! After ten years and eight years of promotion to head nurse, I only need to command a group of little girls to work every day, and even run into the happy era of communism until I retire peacefully, this is my ideal life plan.
It's no wonder, this society doesn't accept men in this business!
When I arrived at the pharmacy, it was relatively relaxed, but it was not okay to be too lax. After all, at least I can't let those profiteers who have suffered a thousand knives deceive me with the second material, I don't feel sorry for the loss of some money in the hospital, and it is a big sin to take it out and make people eat something wrong!
But it's definitely not easy to figure out the herbs. Variety, origin, quality grade, quantity, efficacy, processing method, preservation method, collocation contraindication...... You have to learn everything! Reading books, asking masters, and running the market are commonplace. Dealing with these things every day makes my five senses extremely sensitive now, and I like the taste of the pharmacy as much as I am addicted!
Alas, I'm a little excited. I digress, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, Mr. Tian? In this case, it doesn't seem to make much sense to go to Tian Ge again, right? β¦β¦
In this way, I didn't know the taste of food, I couldn't sleep at night, and spent the rest of the day in all kinds of cranky thoughts.
I got up early the next morning, ready to go to Mr. Tian to ask for an explanation. Xiao Liu, who has always gotten up earlier than me, was inexplicably surprised, thinking that the sun had risen from the north.
Before going out, a question suddenly came to mind: Do you want to take Wang Jianguo with you?
It felt like the whole thing was still coming at me in general, and although I didn't mind letting him know, it wouldn't be good if there was any deep meaning in it, and it wouldn't be good to involve him in danger. So I told Xiao Liu that if a young man like a scholar came to me later, I would tell him that I had something to do and went out for a while, and we would go to work together in the afternoon.
immediately trotted all the way and went straight to the courtyard of the Tian family.
When I was about to walk to the entrance of the South District, I saw the gymnasium on the right-hand side. When I first came to this school, I heard that swimming was allowed in the gymnasium, which made me itch growing up by the river, but it has been almost a week since I came, and it has been closed for renovation, and I don't know when it will open.
It's getting hotter and hotter lately, so it would be nice to have a good swim!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but desert, anyway, it's still early, so it's better to go over and see how the project is going.
Maybe because it was still early, I saw a circle of scaffolding around the museum, but there was not a single worker. Look at the faΓ§ade is still a little mottled, probably repainting the walls. It doesn't look like it's already finished.
Disillusioned, I turned to leave when I suddenly felt something approaching quickly behind me, and my shoulders sank and I was pushed forward with a strong force.
Caught off guard, I stumbled forward and fell, and then something pressed against my back, and there was a huge pain in my right shoulder!
Almost at the same time, a shout rang in my ears: "Be careful! β
"You're late......" I said to myself. This fall was really not light, the chest was stuffy, the ears were roaring, and the hands were also rubbing the ground, and it hurt hotly! But even more painful is the right shoulder. I subconsciously tried to turn my head backwards to see what was going on.
I was really frightened when I turned around, and an iron hammer that was thirty or forty centimeters long was pierced on my shoulder, and what was even more terrifying was that it was not only tied to my shoulder, but also wearing another palm!
Because my back was pressed, I couldn't turn back, but then a voice mixed with moaning came from the back of my head: "Boss Yong......"
I just felt a buzz in my head. Without looking back, I could already guess who it was.
After about half a minute, I felt him slowly move his body to the side and then pulled my left shoulder with his left hand. Slowly, carefully, I sat up sideways. The right shoulder still didn't dare to move at all, and in addition to the pain, there was also a sticky feeling, I am afraid that the wound has begun to bleed profusely.
I can finally turn back, I helplessly saw the face I didn't really want to see, and it was really Wang Jianguo!
His pierced right palm was still on my right shoulder, and I didn't have to ask to know where this hammer would have penetrated me if he hadn't pounced on it. Head? Collarbone? Or the lungs not far from the top of the shoulders under the skin?
His face was very pale, but he said with a fearless smile: "If you make a mistake, it still hurts you." β
I felt so guilty that I couldn't say a word. But now is not the time to sigh, I hurriedly commanded him, and the two of them stood up at the same time and walked towards the school hospital in the North District. Although he kept his grip on my shoulder, the slight displacement of the movement still caused great pain, causing him to inhale continuously. This time, I couldn't even help him relieve some of the pain.
When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor had not yet opened the clinic, and I yelled out of the lounge with a few voices, and I was shocked to see this situation.
My condition is fine, the wound on my right shoulder is not too deep, and the school doctor is more experienced in dealing with trauma, so after observing it, he took the iron drill off my shoulder first and gave me some simple treatment. Wang Jianguo was more seriously injured, his entire palm was penetrated, and a large amount of Panax notoginseng powder was sprinkled and still bleeding, and the iron drill must be taken out as soon as possible. The school doctor quickly hung up the phone and contacted the nearest hospital, and an ambulance came to carry him up.
I wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wang Jianguo.
"You have more important things to do today," he said, "and I'll be with you when I'm done!" β
I couldn't refuse, so I could only squeeze out some laughter and nod.
As I watched the ambulance go away, my consciousness began to slowly wake up from the numbness of pain.
Although the incident happened suddenly, I still subconsciously observed the scene carefully. No suspicious person was found. I've also seen the iron drill, which is often used to change materials on the construction site, and there is nothing special about it. Looking at the force at that time, it was completely achievable to fall from a scaffold several meters high, and there was nothing unnatural.
Even...... I simulated the scene in my head, and ruled out the possibility of stabbing someone from close range or directly with an iron chisel.
Yes, life is at stake, and I have to take into account all reasonable doubts. Even if this suspicion is aimed at the people closest to you!
Combined with the series of accidents that happened a few days ago, for the first time I felt that my life was threatened, for the first time I felt a sense of fear, and for the first time I began to seriously think about the reason.
Wang Jianguo, this young man is really amazing, from the time we first met, he reminded me again and again as if he had a premonition that I would be in danger, and this time he sacrificed himself to save me, but I never took it seriously.
Looking at what he meant just now, he still believed that these things had something to do with the Tian family, but if this was really the case, unless Mr. Tian had any special functions!
Perhaps, sometimes I believe too much in the analysis of the mind and ignore that the most important human instinct is intuition.
But what about mere intuition? If we can't find out the cause by analysis, we will always be so passive! You can get away with it this time, but what about next time? I don't even know what kind of danger I'm going to experience next time! β¦β¦
Or, Wang Jianguo still knows something I don't know yet. β¦β¦
While thinking about it, I looked up and saw that I had arrived at the door of Mr. Tian's house.
I stretched out my left hand to tap the door, and when I saw the beast's head decorated around the knocker, my heart was shocked! I really don't know what I'm going to face next, so I might as well respond to all changes with the same!
Grabbed the knocker and knocked a few times, and heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the yard, and the gate opened in response, and it was Tian Ge who stood in the door.
I could see that she was smiling, but when I saw that my hands were covered with red potion, and my shoulders and neckline were stained with blood, the smile on her face froze. Then he asked nervously, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" β
This reaction may be exactly what I want to see, if this matter really has anything to do with their family, and she knows about it, it is impossible for her expression to be without any flaws. And whenever I have the slightest chance, I don't want my father's old friend to have anything to do with some "conspiracy".
I didn't go back to change my clothes first, but came to visit like a defeated samurai, and that was my intention.
He had to brake quietly, and said with a smile at the moment: "It's unlucky, there was a little accident." β
She hurriedly let me in, ran into the house first, and shouted, "Dad! Father! Senior brother is here, come out and have a look! β
Immediately afterwards, I saw Mr. Tian come out of the back room, behaving like his daughter, first happy and then surprised. The only difference was that after the surprise, his face suddenly became gloomy, his brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
I didn't say a word. My heart was comforted and puzzled. The comfort is that it seems that they are not the initiator of this incident, and I wonder why they didn't ask me what happened first, as normal people do.
