agers standing outside involuntarily shivered.It turned out that these mountain village locals hadn’t left. Despite the extreme cold here, they were used to it. Moreover, outsiders rarely visited them...Chapter 14: Benevolence of a Physician

Xiao Yu asked Fangyuan to sit down and extend his left hand. Xiao Yu half-closed his eyes, and with his right hand gripping Fangyuan's wrist for no more than ten seconds, he picked up the brush pen and wrote on paper swiftly. He lightly placed the brush pen onto the paper, writing a few medicinal ingredients before handing them to Fangyuan: "You've recently caught a cold which has caused you dizziness, fatigue, lack of appetite, I have prescribed three doses for you to take, remember to follow the prescription."

Fangyuan happily accepted the prescription and carefully folded it before placing it in his pocket. He looked at Xiao Yu with great admiration: "Doctor Xiao is amazing, just by touching he knows everything."

Xiao Yu nodded, the next patient was Teacher Mao who stepped forward and extended her left hand. Xiao Yu's touch was extremely precise; he gently placed his fingers on her pulse while half-closing his eyes. After about a minute, Xiao Yu lifted his fingers and, without opening his eyes, fell into deep thought before finally doing so. He then wrote out another prescription for Teacher Mao and said: "Teacher Mao, your blood stasis has been around for ten years now, yes, it's osteophyte."

"Doctor Xiao, you are truly a god, the calculation is just about ten years," Teacher Mao exclaimed in surprise.

"Hm." Nodding his head, Xiao Yu said: "Take the medicine as prescribed and return for another prescription after half a month. It should be cured within one month."

"Really Can my long-standing problem be treated" Teacher Mao stood up suddenly with an astonished look on her face.

"Yes, take the medication as prescribed, there shouldn't be any issues," Xiao Yu said proudly.

The rest of them did not have major issues. Only Teacher Jin, who had been practicing calligraphy for years, had some cervical misalignment. Xiao Yu asked Teacher Jin to sit on the wooden stool and搓hand until they were warm, then he patted his back and massaged all the acupoints. He finally stopped and said, "Don't practice calligraphy in the next three days. Gradually resume after that."

Director Hu was overwhelmed watching Xiao Yu diagnose and treat the patients from behind. Xiao Yu didn’t ask about symptoms or causes; he could determine the condition just by taking a pulse, which wasn’t inferior to the national master doctor he met years ago. That national master was already in his seventies at that time, whereas Xiao Yu hadn’t even reached thirty yet. It’s easy to imagine how much of an impact Xiao Yu had made on him.

Although Hu had set aside personal reputation, when it came to his turn, he still didn’t know what to say and stuttered. Just then, Chen Jinghai, who had been standing there the whole time, suddenly rushed over to Xiao Yu and kneeled down: "Divine doctor Xiao, please help me!"

Chen Jinghai watched as Xiao Yu cured even difficult cases like bone spurs in a month, which sparked hope that he might be able to cure his own secret ailment. With this thought in mind, Chen Jinghai disregarded his dignity and quickly knelt down before Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly at the kneeling Chen Jinghai and said, "Stand up first, then sit down."

"Thank you, divine doctor Xiao, thank you..." Chen Jinghai was overjoyed upon hearing that Xiao Yu would help him and hurriedly replied.

After staring at Chen Jinghai for a while, Xiao Yu placed his hand on the wrist of Chen Jinghai. After a moment, he said, "Right hand."

Chen Jinghai quickly extended his right hand again as Xiao Yu placed his hand back on it. Ten seconds later, Xiao Yu wrote down several medicinal ingredients and handed them over with a serious tone: "These medicines are quite expensive. Take the prescription for one month after returning home. Abstain from sexual activity for three months. Even after you recover, try to limit it to once or twice a week at most, otherwise even gods can’t help you."

Chen Jinghai held the prescription and, after hearing Xiao Yu's words, he was both surprised and delighted: "Divine Doctor Xiao, do you mean that my illness can be cured And there won't be any problems in the future"

Xiao Yu frowned and nodded, saying, "Mr. Chen, from now on, you must pay attention to not taking medicine indiscriminately and also control your desires; otherwise, even though I could cure you this time, it's uncertain whether I can do so next time."

Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Chen Jinghai’s face was flushed with excitement: "Thank you... thank you, Divine Doctor Xiao. As long as there is a way to treat my illness, I am willing to endure anything for it. Thank you."

Chen Jinghai thanked him repeatedly and hurriedly left the room to get his medicine.

"Doctor Xiao, he treats you like this, yet you still..." Fang Yuan was initially gloating over Chen Jinghai's illness when she heard about it, but upon hearing that Xiao Yu could cure him, she felt extremely resentful towards Xiao Yu and said this to him.

When Xiao Yu heard what Fang Yuan had to say, he looked at her deeply before smiling slightly and saying, "A doctor has a compassionate heart."

Clap clap... clap clap...

"Truly admirable, a doctor's compassionate heart." Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the experts in the room were full of admiration and applauded.

Director H heard Xiao Yu mention "a doctor's benevolence" and felt ashamed. Back when he just graduated from medical school, he had a passionate heart to save people. However, as his status and skills improved over time, he gradually lost the integrity of being a doctor. Xiao Yu’s words about a doctor’s benevolence were like the sound of a gong in the morning or drum at dusk, making him feel ashamed and sighing repeatedly.

Saying that doctors should have benevolent hearts is easy, but it's really hard to do so. A doctor, especially an eminent one, often has to deal with various pressures and constraints. Sometimes, for personal gain or reputation, they might abandon their principles, becoming easily swayed by such influences.

"Director H, from your appearance, you seem very healthy, but why is there a dark hue on your forehead Do you have any worries" Xiao Yu’s question startled the reflective Director H back to reality.

"Well... Doctor Xiao, my son is learning calligraphy and he really loves it. I would like to request a piece of artwork from you in hopes that you could fulfill this wish." Originally intending to discard his reputation and just get treated by Xiao Yu, Director H realized after hearing him speak about the benevolence of doctors that Xiao Yu was a man of integrity; hence, he decided to be honest.

"Ha ha, if it’s for profit, my calligraphy is invaluable! However, if it's for your son learning calligraphy, what difficulty could there be It's just a piece of artwork." With a hearty laugh, Xiao Yu replied.

"I'll get the paper!" said Mr. Jin after hearing Xiao Yu’s words. He was also an expert in calligraphy and thus had rice paper readily available.

After Mr. Jin brought the rice paper over, Xiao Yu spread it out on the table and picked up his brush to write four powerful characters: "Endless Sea of Learning." The strokes were firm and forceful, exuding an upright spirit that conveyed a scholar's character of incorruptibility in wealth or poverty and unbending integrity.

After finishing these four words, Xiao Yu wrote by the side, "Xiao Yu’s handwriting, dedicated to a young friend who loves calligraphy."alligraphy, Tang Qing knew all the plans involved."Mayor Tang, the piece of calligraphy was taken by Secretary Liu’s driver. It was also the driver who came up with the idea of accusing your son of fr...
