Chapter 52: Anger and Prejudice
Yang Fan saw the most shocking scene in his twenty-two years of life, and he saw Lin Wanting's left arm full of scars.
Perhaps because of Yang Fan's gaze, Lin Wanting was in a hurry and habitually wanted to stretch her sleeves to cover the scars on her arms, but the sleeves were not so long, and she could only hide her left hand behind her back. His eyes swayed from side to side, avoiding Yang Fan's gaze, and he said hesitantly
"I... I washed it. ”
Yang Fan watched Lin Wanting step forward, pulled out her hidden left hand, and looked at the arm carefully, and an emotion called anger surged in his heart.
"Who got it?" Yang Fan asked in a low voice, Yang Fan's low tone was a little frightening.
"I... I fell myself..."Lin Wanting said hesitantly. She seemed to recall the bad memories of the past because of Yang Fan's question, and there was a trace of pain in her eyes.
"Can this be thrown out?" Yang Fan's tone was a little impatient. For Yang Fan, even if it was because of Lan that he accepted the task of bringing Lin Wanting home, since he had chosen, he would be responsible for Lin Wanting.
"Tell me," Yang Fan said in a soft tone.
"I really fell by myself..."Lin Wanting bit her lip and said, but her body kept shaking.
"I'll go out and come back. Yang Fan looked at Lin Wanting like this, and could only sigh helplessly.
Then he just changed his clothes and walked out.
"Why don't you tell Yang Fan about the origin of these scars. Lan, who was silent on the side, asked.
"I... I don't want to trouble him. Lin Wanting lowered her head and whispered.
After Lan listened, he didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Wanting and shook his head.
Yang Fan took his mobile phone to search for the largest pharmacy in the neighborhood, and then hurriedly walked in. I have been searching for those TCM scar removal prescriptions in my mind. He carefully selected the six things in "Liu Juanzi's Ghost Relic". (Note 1)
When I came to the pharmacy, there were many people in the pharmacy, but there were very few people at the Chinese medicine counter, only a bored young man, who was sitting in front of the Chinese medicine cabinet and playing with his mobile phone.
Yang Fan walked over and said the medicinal herbs he wanted, and the young man said no angrily after listening to what Yang Fan said, and then continued to play with his mobile phone.
Yang Fan frowned after hearing this, he glanced at his mobile phone, there were still more than two hours before the part-time job, and he hurriedly asked the young man
"Is there any other pharmacy nearby that has these herbs, I'm anxious. ”
"No, I'm in a hurry to go to the hospital to catch it. The young man didn't say angrily as if he was disturbed by Yang Fan playing with his mobile phone, and then looked at Yang Fan and muttered in a low voice, "Go to the hospital to ask the doctor to prescribe Western medicine for the treatment of scars, Chinese medicine is useless at all except for fooling people." ”
Yang Fan heard the young man's words, and his heart, which was originally tight because of Lin Wanting's scar and time urgency, instantly ignited.
"You say Chinese medicine is useless?" Yang Fan said in an accentuated tone.
When the young man heard Yang Fan's accentuated words, he couldn't help but drop his mobile phone and said loudly
"It's useful? It's just charlatans. Look at how many so-called Chinese medicine liars have been exposed on TV recently, Chinese medicine is witchcraft, witchcraft that cares about human life, do you think it works?"
The young man's words made the entire noisy pharmacy instantly silent, and all eyes were focused on these two young people, indeed as the young man said, now many people use Chinese medicine to cheat and be exposed, and many young people call Chinese medicine witchcraft fraud. Many young people have invested in approving, and it is true that the situation of Chinese medicine is really embarrassing now.
The young man looked at so many approving eyes, and then said ostentatiously: "I saw a document some time ago that the average life expectancy of the Chinese nation in various historical periods was 22 years old in the Eastern Han Dynasty, 27 years old in the Tang Dynasty, 30 years old in the Song Dynasty, 33 years old in the Qing Dynasty, and 35 years old in the Republic of China. In 1985, the average life expectancy was 68.92 years, and in 2010, it was over 70 years. Doesn't this life table represent the uselessness of Chinese medicine?" The more the young man talked, the more excited he became, and the face that had been bored by work turned a sickly red.
His words were heart-wrenching, and he belittled Chinese medicine as useless.
Yang Fan looked at him and was silent.
The young man then said, "Most of the so-called traditional culture in China should be eliminated, because it is not scientific enough, and now is a scientific era, and all martial arts and national arts should be eliminated." ”
Under the collision of domestic and foreign cultures, some young people have begun to dislike the traditional culture and quintessence of the country, and have a deep sense of resistance to the domestic culture, perhaps because some media and books mythologize those cultures, or because of the so-called public figures in order to win everyone's attention to denigrate Chinese culture, but more because of the lack of faith of those young people.
The loss of faith in the country and in oneself has made more and more young people worship foreigners and have a prejudiced view of many things in their own country.
The young man thought that his words would once again get those appreciative glances, but there were only a few approving glances, and most of them revealed a kind of anger and helplessness.
"I've heard of that document, too. Yang Fan finally opened his mouth and said, "That document counts the premature mortality rate of newborns, as well as the life expectancy of those poor families who died of overwork, and the war. When I saw this document, I was not full of ostentation like you, but I felt a deep sadness, and that document was a record of the sorrow of the history of our motherland from generation to generation. It is also a means for some well-intentioned people to deny the previous history in order to promote the present science. ”
When the young man heard Yang Fan's words, he suddenly felt a sadness from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Fan looked at the young man and said sadly, "In fact, Chinese medicine is not as good as Western medicine to some extent, which I admit that the war of history and the change of dynasties have lost many precious classics of Chinese medicine." And Chinese medicine is always inferior to Western medicine in some instruments. But TCM is not useless. It represents a faith, a spirit and a heritage. ”
Yang Fan's mind came to the picture of those ancient Chinese physicians who did not hesitate to take herbal medicine at the risk of their own lives, and did not hesitate to test the medicine to judge whether the medicine was useful, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he went on to say, "Chinese medicine also has the advantages of Chinese medicine. He is the crystallization of the wisdom of generations of medical martyrs, if Chinese medicine is really useless, why are some foreign medical institutions still studying Chinese medicine? Some prescriptions of Chinese medicine are effective, such as hot and cold powders, but they cannot be explained by Western medicine. Not only that, but when a host was in a car accident and the Western doctor said that she could not be saved, what did the case of returning to China and being treated with Chinese medicine illustrate?
The young man was suddenly speechless, Yang Fan's words did not blindly compliment Chinese medicine like those Chinese medicine fans, but humbly admitted that he was insufficient, and then countered his words, he began to ponder Yang Fan's words, but his eyes were still prejudiced against Chinese medicine, and he retorted stiffly
"How can Chinese medicine be so magical, the host's case is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, in addition to the grass and human life, what is the inheritance and spirit of Chinese medicine, don't wash your name for Chinese medicine here!"
Yang Fan looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head, he began to walk casually in the pharmacy, walked into the onlookers, and then looked at those customers seriously, and said to them
"You're here to treat diarrhea?"
"You're here to buy cold medicine, right?"
"There should be something wrong with your stomach. ”
"You should be someone else buying medicine, but you should have a little lung problem when you look like this. Go to a doctor as soon as possible. ”
“...”
Yang Fan looked at the customers and commented casually, and those customers showed an incredible look on their faces, and what Yang Fan said was the reason why he came to the pharmacy to buy medicine.
Yang Fan is only a junior medical skill, he can't see the symptoms of all people, he only selects a few people that he is sure to be able to see, and the diagnosis of the disease has a hit rate of 100%.
"Yes, yes, yes. The customers who were instructed by Yang Fan kept nodding in agreement, and then they showed fiery expressions on their faces.
Many people who originally agreed with young people were shocked by Yang Fan's hand, and they looked struggling.
In fact, Yang Fan didn't want to come forward, but in that young man's belittlement of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese culture, what kind of anger in his heart prompted him to be impulsive, although he was just picking someone who was sure of him for diagnosis, he was also nervous and wet behind his back. He looked at his phone, there was still more than an hour before his part-time job, he was ready to leave, and then go to another pharmacy to grab the medicine and go part-time.
"Wait. A voice came, and a young pot-bellied woman said with a big belly, "Pretending to be a ghost." ”
This young woman has just been a proponent of the uselessness of Chinese medicine among young people. Although Yang Fan showed his hand slightly, she still insisted on the uselessness of traditional Chinese medicine, although Yang Fan casually pointed out the diseases of several customers, but she thought that Yang Fan was a blind cat who met a dead mouse and pretended to be a ghost.
"I heard that Chinese medicine can tell that a person is pregnant with a boy or girl through the pulse, I just did a B ultrasound today, you judge that I am pregnant with a boy and girl, if it is right, I will admit that what you said is right, otherwise Chinese medicine is useless!"
The young man raised his head and looked at the young girl in front of him, and there was a look called hope in his eyes, he still insisted on the uselessness of Chinese medicine, although Yang Fan's words were very reasonable, although Yang Fan showed his hand in front of him, but he still wanted to be firm in his thoughts.
Yang Fan looked at the young woman's contemptuous eyes and the complicated eyes of the people around him, and he laughed.
"Reach out. Yang Fan said.
The young woman held out her hand and said, "Just pretend." The contempt in his eyes was even greater.
Yang Fan closed his eyes and put his hand on the woman's wrist, listening carefully to the woman's pulse. After half a ring, he withdrew his hand.
"Say it's boys and girls. The young woman urged with a mocking smile on her face.
Yang Fan didn't answer immediately, he carefully looked at the young woman's belly and heels (Note 3), and then said softly
"Male. ”
The young woman's smile froze as she listened.
"Is it right or wrong?"
"Tell me about it?"
The onlookers saw that the woman did not respond to this answer for a long time, and couldn't help but urge anxiously.
"It's... Man," said the young woman with difficulty.
All the people looked at Yang Fan incredulously, and there was a hint of heat on their faces.
"Divine doctor!" I don't know who was the first to shout.
Then the people in the entire pharmacy looked at Yang Fan and shouted "Divine Doctor" fiery
The young man's theory of the uselessness of traditional Chinese medicine finally collapsed, and he looked at Yang Fan with a complicated expression. Yang Fan also looked at the young man's gaze, and Yang Fan couldn't help blurting out
"Whoever heals the sick must be calm, have no desires or desires, and first have great compassion and vow to save the suffering of the soul. ”
This sentence comes from the first article of Sun Simiao's Qianjinfang.
All the people in the pharmacy were silent after hearing this, and then pondered this sentence. Yang Fan spoke
"Put away your prejudices, try to accept those traditional Chinese culture, try to accept and understand traditional Chinese medicine, which is not only a culture and a means of curing diseases, but also a kind of spirit and inheritance!"
"Well said!" said an old and excited voice from the door of the drugstore.
