Chapter 1029 The Younger Generation Surpasses the Old!

“What’s going on?” When the phone was connected, Li Ji’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Fang Qiu frowned and said in a very serious voice, “I’ve finally found something. I just found out the cause of the outbreak from a local old man. When some villagers went up the mountain to collect herbs, they met a few people who came to give them necessities. In addition to giving some daily necessities to the villagers, these people also gave the villagers some kind of nutrient drink. The villagers were infected by this strange disease after they consumed the drink.”

“A nutrient drink?” Li Ji asked with doubt.

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded and continue to say, “I’m guessing that the people who gave the villagers the drink are the members of the Nirvana Organization. According to the current information, the pathogen should be hidden inside the drink. Ordinary people are unaware that the drink contains a deadly pathogen, so you have to spread the word immediately. Whether it’s true or not, we need to cut the supply of this drink. It’s too harmful!”

“Okay. I’ll report it to my superiors right away and try to control the situation as soon as possible!”

Li Ji also knew the seriousness of the problem, so he immediately nodded.

“That’s all,” Fang Qiu said with a nod. “Okay. I’ll contact you later if there’s any other news.”

Fang Qiu hung up the phone after that.

The old man who was boiling the medicine looked crestfallen when he heard that the country had no way to cure this disease.

After the phone call, Fang Qiu immediately turned around and asked the old man, “Can you take me to see other patients, sir? I want to try to cure them!”

“This disease can’t be cured.”

The old man sighed softly.

“If I don’t try, how can I know if I can cure it or not?”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “We’ll never make progress and solve the problem if we don’t even try. We won’t be able to find a way out of this unless we try, right?”

Hearing this, the old man took a serious look at Fang Qiu, and then he nodded gently, saying, “Young man, you’re right.”

Then he stood up, pointed to the inside of the village, and said, “Follow me.”

Fang Qiu followed the old man.

Fang Qiu walked through the village step by step.

Soon, they came to a one-storey house.

“The old man who lives here is also suffering from the sequelae of leprosy,” said the old man. “He is infected too. His symptoms are a little more serious than mine, but not to the point of being lethal.”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.

For him, this sort of patient was the best. He couldn’t find any clues on the old man that was leading the way. But, he might find some clues from someone experiencing more serious symptoms than the old man.

“Mr. Yang, is that you?”

Before they knocked on the door, an old man’s voice came from the room.

“It’s me,” the old man who led the way answered.

“Don’t send me medicine anymore. I’m old and can’t stand this kind of suffering. Don’t worry about me. Just let me die.”

Words of despair came from the room.

“The medicine isn’t ready yet. I didn’t come here to bring you medicine,” the old man whose surname was Yang answered and then directly reached out to push the door open. He led Fang Qiu into the room.

They entered the room.

Fang Qiu found that an old man was lying on a bamboo bed in the room. He didn’t look very well, as if he had stayed up for several days and nights. He had dark eye circles.

“Old Zheng, the country has sent someone to help us. I brought him here to see you.”

Old Yang took Fang Qiu to the bed.

“The country? The country?”

The surname of the bedridden old man was Zheng. He was stunned for a moment, then he immediately looked at Fang Qiu and said excitedly, “The country still remembers us. They haven’t given up on us yet?”

“How could the country give up on you?” Fang Qiu sat down by the bed and continued to say to Old Zheng, “We are a family. We know that you are here and that you have no ID cards or household registers. Didn’t the country help you build houses? When we knew that there was an infectious disease in your village, the country sent me here as soon as possible. Because we are all the people of Huaxia. We are a family. How could the country abandon you?”

“Okay. It’s good that the country doesn’t give up on us.”

Old Zheng was so excited that his eyes were brimming with tears.

“I have known the basic situation of your village. Now let me feel your pulse to see if I can find a solution,” Fang Qiu said.

“Okay. Feel my pulse.”

Old Zheng, who looked very weak, immediately propped up his upper body and gave his hand to Fang Qiu.

And Fang Qiu immediately began to feel his pulse.

Old Zheng’s condition was exactly the same as Old Yang’s. Fang Qiu got no clue from the pulse diagnosis. Except for being a little weak, there was no big change in other parts of Old Zheng’s body.

The pulse diagnosis was over.

An idea came into Fang Qiu’s mind. He immediately began the Four Methods to Diagnose a Disease.

“Observation,” Fang Qiu thought to himself.

He recalled that Old Zheng seemed to have experienced more mood changes compared to ordinary people ever since he entered the house.

“At first, when he was still lying in bed, he looked absent-minded and very weak. But when Old Yang told him that I was sent by the state, he was stunned and looked at me suspiciously. But after that suspicion was gone, he immediately became excited and even tears came into his eyes,” Fang Qiu thought.

Under normal circumstances, even an abandoned person would not have reacted so emotionally.

Each of the old man’s emotions was more dramatic than that of ordinary people.

Just now, the old man’s excitement suddenly subsided after the pulse diagnosis. He seemed to be a little impatient as he pulled his hand back from Fang Qiu’s hand, and he waved his hand to ask, “Are you done?”

“Yes,” Fang Qiu said.

Fang Qiu nodded with a kind smile and then asked, “Why don’t you go out?”

“Why should I go out?” Old Zheng asked Fang Qiu in return. Then, he laid down again and said, “I’m ill. It’s not suitable for me to go out. Something will happen to me if I go out. It’s not appropriate.”

Seeing this, Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He seemed to have known some things.

According to examination, the symptoms of the patient were mental trance, being unsettled, being suspicious, grief, sorrow, tears, being moody, dancing, shouting, and so on.

Fang Qiu didn’t find anything wrong with the diagnosis of auscultation and olfaction.

Judging from the old man’s current situation and mental state, the interrogation of diagnosis obviously would not give him a result.

At that thought, Fang Qiu said to Old Zheng, “Open your mouth and let me see your tongue.”

“Ahhh-”

Old Zheng, who was lying on the bed, immediately opened his mouth wide like a child and stuck out his tongue.

“The coating on the tongue is faint and his tongue looked pale!”

After glancing around, Fang Qiu said, “All right, sir. You can close your mouth now.”

Old Zheng shut his mouth.

“The string pulse rate.”

Clapping his hands, Fang Qiu stood up and said to Old Zheng who was lying on the bed, “Sir, you are just a little weak. You should have a good rest.”

After that, he went out with a serious look.

Old Yang followed Fang Qiu and also walked out of the house.

As soon as the door was closed, Old Yang looked at Fang Qiu and asked, “How is he?”

“He has hysteria,” Fang Qiu answered with a frown.

“What?!” Old Yang was surprised. And he immediately asked, “Young man, you look young, but your medical skills seem to be excellent. What level have you reached?”

“Medical skills level?”

Fang Qiu was stunned. He looked at Old Yang in confusion and asked, “Sir, do you know the level of medical skills?”

“I know a little about it,” the old man said.

Fang Qiu nodded, and he said, “Oh, I’m now a doctor of brightness.”

“Doctor of brightness?”

The old man looked at Fang Qiu and nodded repeatedly. He said, “The younger generation will surpass the elder. Has Chinese Medicine become so advanced now?

“Good! Everyone has finally acknowledged our ancestors’ knowledge!”

Hearing the old man’s words, Fang Qiu became even more confused.

Judging from his tone, Old Yang seemed to be a senior practitioner in the Chinese Medicine industry.

“Sir, are you also a Chinese Medicine practitioner?” Fang Qiu asked in surprise. “Sir, may I know the level of your medical skills?”

Smiling, the old man said nothing and led Fang Qiu to the next patient’s home.

Since the old man didn’t want to tell him, Fang Qiu didn’t keep asking. Instead, under the guidance of the old man, he continued to see other patients.

But after a series of visits, Fang Qiu found that all the patients in the village had symptoms of hysteria.

Then, Fang Qiu and Old Yang returned to the entrance of the village.

The medicine in the jars was still boiling.

“Young man, can you identify the herbs in these pots by their smell?” Old Yang sat where he sat before, looked at Fang Qiu, and asked.

“I’ll give it a try.”

Fang Qiu stepped forward and said while smelling, “I smell licorice, wheat, jujube, oyster, wild jujube kernel, albizia bark, the root of red-rooted salvia, lodestone, pinelliae rhizoma, magnoliae officmalis cortex, perillae folium, Poria, Ligusticum wallichii, chlorite schist, and Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim. There are some other herbs too, but I can’t tell what they are. I think they should be local herbs, right?”

“Not bad,” praised the old man. “Not bad at all. Being able to identify so many of these herbs is impressive enough in my book.”

Obviously, the old man’s admiration for Fang Qiu had increased.

After Fang Qiu listed the herbs, he frowned and continued, “Sir... These herbs seem rather ineffective, don’t they?”

“Yes,” the old man said with a nod. “You’re right. I also used some local herbs and the method of Miao medicine.”

Fang Qiu understood.

“You haven’t been in the village long enough for you to experience the effects of this disease, so you don’t know this disease well. But I’m different. I know it very well.”

Looking at Fang Qiu, the old man said, “I can tell you what I have personally experienced and what I know about this disease based on everything I’ve learned since the start of the outbreak.”

“Please enlighten me, sir.” Fang Qiu nodded immediately.

“Most of the time, the symptoms of this disease happen at night. At night, everyone needs to sleep. When they sleep, they will easily have dreams. All of the dreams are good dreams. That is to say, what you subconsciously want will appear in your dreams, but when you have everything you want in the dream, everything will change.”
