As a member of Myriad Lives Hall, his right was that every two weeks, the hall would hold a free medical consultation for members. Of course, if any illnesses were detected, they would still need to pay for the medicine.
Today was the 15th day of the month; these elderly people had all paid their membership fees. A traditional Chinese medical examination was quite simple: by observing, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse, a comprehensive check-up could be conducted.
"Master, you're back! Have you finished handling the hospital's affairs"
Xiao Hongyang was currently taking pulses for these elderly people. Upon seeing Xiao Yu enter, he said this to him.
“Yes, it’s almost done; Old Huang is likely to return to the capital today!” Xiao Yu nodded and replied.
Hearing what Xiao Yu had to say, a look of admiration appeared on Xiao Hongyang's face. He raised his thumb in approval toward Xiao Yu, exclaiming: "Master, you’re amazing!"
Seeing Xiao Hongyang’s gesture, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment before chuckling unexpectedly; he hadn’t expected that despite being so old, Xiao Hongyang still had this childish side to him.
Xiao Yu sat down at his consultation table. Seeing him get ready to see patients, the elderly people immediately split off from the long line in front of Xiao Hongyang and came over to Xiao Yu’s side.
Although some of them didn’t know how skilled Xiao Yu was as a doctor, they knew that he was Xiao Hongyang's master. They usually sought out Xiao Hongyang for their medical needs, knowing his proficiency. If Xiao Hongyang’s skills were so high, wouldn't Xiao Yu’s be equally proficient Otherwise, how could he possibly be Xiao Hongyang's teacher Thus, when they saw him getting ready to see patients, a group split off and came over.
Recently, Xiao Yu had been in a coma for several days, and this time he was gone again for a few more. Many of the patients didn’t know that there was still a Dr. Xiao Yu here; only the earliest batch of elderly people knew how skilled his medical expertise was.
Xiao Yu found it quite simple to treat these elderly people: by placing his hand on their wrists, he could easily identify their latent illnesses.
"In recent days, the weather has been cool. You need to take care not to catch a cold; in winter, you should drink more millet porridge to nourish your stomach. Your stomach isn't very good, but if you pay attention to keeping warm, you won’t have to take any medicine; just rest and recuperate. Medicine is inherently toxic; try to avoid it when possible!"
After taking the pulse of an elderly person in front of him, Xiao Yu said this.
"Doctor, you're truly amazing. Without asking any questions or doing any examinations, just by taking my pulse, you could diagnose so accurately. My stomach only felt a bit uncomfortable this morning, but you detected it right away, truly miraculous."
The elderly man in front of Xiao Yu was seeing a doctor for the first time and had watched as Xiao Yu simply took the pulses of the two elders before him and told them their bodies were healthy before sending them off. He thought he might need to switch to another doctor due to Xiao Yu's youth, fearing his medical skills wouldn't be up to par.
At stake was just a hundred dollars, but if it meant missing out on proper treatment or being prescribed the wrong medicine, that would be troublesome. After all, many traditional Chinese medicines are toxic. As he was deliberating this, his turn came and after some hesitation, rather than immediately leaving, he allowed Xiao Yu to examine him.
During his examination, just like before, Xiao Yu took his pulse directly for only about half a minute. He was planning on going over there again to see Xiao Hongyang when unexpectedly, Xiao Yu diagnosed the slight stomach ailment that had appeared in him this morning.
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, he now felt very favorably towards Wansheng Hall; unlike other clinics which would prescribe expensive medicine as soon as they spot any illness, here they advised lifestyle changes instead. This made people feel at ease and comfortable, not to say that they couldn't afford the medicine but rather because who wants to take medicine if it can be avoided
After Xiao Yu examined this elderly man, everyone else in line seemed to have gained immense confidence in him. They were all excitedly discussing Xiao Yu's medical skills, especially those elders who had been his patients from the beginning.
These seniors weren't in serious conditions, so after each check-up, Xiao Yu would offer dietary therapy advice instead of prescribing medicine for their minor ailments.
"Third Brother! Third Brother!" As Xiao Yu was taking a patient's pulse at the consultation desk, Zhang Dahai’s voice sounded from outside the door.
The day after General Huang fell ill, a guard had been re-assigned to him in Beijing. So on the second day, Zhang Dahai and company had left the hospital.
Xiao Yu didn't say anything as he was busy taking pulses but waved his hand at Zhang Dahai, indicating for them to sit down.
Today, Zhang Dahai wasn’t alone; there were several others accompanying him. They all wore neat military uniforms and looked spirited.
Xiao Yu didn't expect there would be so many people in the clinic today, so after seeing Xiao Yu wave at them to sit down, he first sat with those soldiers in uniform.
After finishing his consultation session, Xiao Yu stood up from the desk and walked over to Zhang Dahai.
Xiao Yu finally saw clearly the few people who came with Zhang Dahan. Together with Zhang Dahan, there were five people in total. These people were all officers of the rank of captain or above. Among them, Zhang Dahan was the youngest at around forty years old; another one looked to be fifty-plus years old, and the remaining three appeared to be in their forties as well. The man who seemed to be fifty had a major general's insignia on his shoulder boards, while the other three sported lieutenant colonel rank.
"Big Brother, why did you come here now" Xiao Yu walked over to where Zhang Dahan and the others were standing and asked him that.
“Hehe, Third Brother, let me introduce you. This is our Armed Police Brigade's Political Commissar Qi Shuchen!” Upon seeing Xiao Yu approaching them, Zhang Dahan pointed at the fifty-plus-year-old major general and said to Xiao Yu.
"Hello, Comrade Commissar Qi!" Hearing Zhang Dahan’s introduction, Xiao Yu extended his hand towards Qi Shuchen and greeted him.
“Comrade Commissar Qi, this is my third brother. He’s also the doctor of Wan Sheng Hall and the miracle physician who saved Wang Kai and us all!”
Zhang Dahan pointed to Xiao Yu and introduced him to Qi Shuchen again. Upon hearing Zhang Dahan's introduction, Qi Shuchen promptly extended his hand as well and shook hands with Xiao Yu, saying in greeting, "Hello, Doctor Xiao! Hello!"
Then, Zhang Dahan proceeded to introduce the other two lieutenant colonels who were around forty years old to Xiao Yu. One of them was Deputy Brigade Commander Sun Jianjun, and the other one was the head of the Rear Services Department, Zhang Xinsheng. Upon hearing Zhang Dahan's introduction, both of them shook hands with and greeted Xiao Yu.
"Third Brother, didn’t I tell you last time that we plan to set up this place as a designated medical facility for our Armed Police Brigade We came here today precisely for that purpose!"
After Zhang Dahan had finished introducing them to each other, he began addressing the main reason for their visit.
"Oh right! Hongyang, take out the plaque!" Hearing what Zhang Dahan said, Xiao Yu quickly called out to Xiao Hongyang.
Hearing Xiao Yu's call, Xiao Hongyang hurriedly ran into the rest room and brought out the plaque he had made. Since he was done with seeing patients at his place already, there wasn't anything else for him to do!
"Big Brother, would you like to take a look at this plaque" When Xiao Hongyang walked out of the house carrying the plaque, Xiao Yu pointed to it and said to Zhang Dahan.
“Mm-hmm, not bad!” Zhang Dahan looked at the plaque that Xiao Hongyang was holding in his arms and replied.
Zhang Dahan gestured towards the head of the Rear Services Department Zhang Xinsheng standing next to him. Seeing Zhang Dahan's gesture, Zhang Xinsheng took out a few pieces of paper from the bag he was carrying and placed them on the table.
"Third brother, here's the contract. Take a look!" Zhang Dahan put those papers on the table and said to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu walked over, picked up those documents, and looked through them. The clauses in the contract were clearly written out, so after glancing at it for several moments, he put down the contract and signed his name with a pen.
In fact, both sides knew that this contract was merely going through the motions; to both parties, this contract was essentially like scrap paper. Regardless of which side violated the contract, there would be no trouble whatsoever, but they still had to go through the formalities.
Xiao Hongyang and Xiao Yu carried the plaque to the entrance, while Liu Erxi took out a nail and hammer from inside and nailed this plaque onto the wall together with them.
Zhang Dahan gave Zhang Xinsheng a signal; Zhang Xinsheng then ran back to their car. Shortly after, a young soldier followed him in, holding a box of firecrackers. Since Zhang Dahan hadn't informed Xiao Yu beforehand when he arrived, he was afraid that Xiao Yu wouldn't be prepared, so he bought a box of firecrackers from the roadside.
"Crackle..." Liu Erxi and the young soldier set up this box of firecrackers on the ground and started setting them off.
The pedestrians on the road were drawn over by the sound of the firecrackers, seeing a plaque hanging at the entrance covered with red cloth. They all stood on the roadside discussing it.
In the distance, an enforcement vehicle for urban management drove past this section of the road. Since no one was supposed to set off firecrackers here, they sped over upon hearing the sound of the firecrackers.
However, after parking their car by the roadside and seeing that the noise came from Xiao Yu's Wan Sheng Hall, and then seeing Zhang Dahan and company in military uniforms standing at the entrance, they didn't even get out of their cars but pretended not to see anything and sped off.
Ha, forget about the major generals, colonels, and lieutenant colonels standing by the door; Xiao Yu's clinic was something they now dared not investigate. As for Xiao Yu's Wan Sheng Hall, it had long been listed as a place that shouldn't be messed with.
The day when Xiao Yu's clinic opened, they too heard the sound of firecrackers and drove over wanting to look into the matter and get some cigarettes and alcohol money. But after their cars arrived, what they saw left them deeply shaken in their hearts.
As urban management officers and public servants of Shendu City, Chu Guoqing and Wu Shouye were people who they all knew. Seeing these two here, they didn't dare get out of the car and simply drove off with their official cars. Now seeing this clinic again, how could they not be cautious
After setting off the firecrackers, Xiao Yu and Zhang Dahan each stood on one side of the plaque. They then reached up to pull down the red cloth covering it.
"Snap..." Once Xiao Yu and company pulled down the red cloth from the plaque, Xiao Hongyang, Liu Erxi, and the others brought by Zhang Dahan all clapped their hands together in applause.fusely, dripping down onto his clothes and then onto the ground. His expression was one of sheer terror as he stared at Xiao Yu. He hadn't expected this outcome; believing that with his Master-level c...
