Chapter 5: The Great Man with Whom I Have Long Had a Spiritual Connection
Uh... this doctor, I apologize for the urgency regarding my family member's injury, I have been neglectful, please take a look.
Sun Simiao was frail in health from a young age and came from a poor family, yet he was exceptionally eager to learn. Before the age of twenty, he had read numerous works on the teachings of various schools of thought and ancient renowned physicians. He not only had a profound understanding of the classics but was also skilled in the medical arts. Emperor Wen, Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Gaozong of the Sui Dynasty summoned him multiple times, wishing to bestow upon him high official positions and generous rewards, all of which he firmly declined. He authored medical works such as "Emergency Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold" and "Supplementary Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold." At that time, however, Sun Simiao had not yet begun writing books and was still in the stage of collecting and organizing materials.
Uh... how should he explain this
At this point, the two exchanged glances, seemingly having just forgotten about the owner of the medical clinic, that middle-aged doctor. Wei Chi awkwardly turned his head, inadvertently falling into a professional habit.
With Sun Simiao, the "local tyrant" of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Chi began to covet the medicines and equipment in the truck on the mountain. It can be said that this is the guarantee of how far he and Xie Jiu can go in this era, and it must not be lost.
As for whether others will believe it, Wei Chi will not concern himself with that; after all, only some trivial matters remain, which can be taken away without hesitation. If he does not believe it, who could possibly replicate the creation of a car
In those years, an old professor who specialized in traditional Chinese medicine and had transitioned to Western medicine, possessed an extraordinary skill in bone diagnosis. With just his hands, he could ascertain the severity of injuries with about 70 to 80 percent accuracy. Within the medical school, he was regarded as a superstar, with countless admirers. Wei Chi was one of them. With his unwavering determination and tenacity comparable to that of sticky candy, Wei Chi persistently pursued the old professor until he became a source of annoyance, ultimately compelling the professor to pass on his skills to him.
With the favor of Sun Simiao, the great physician, a total of twenty horse-drawn carts and around thirty strong laborers were dispatched. Under the leadership of Wei Chi, they managed to empty the carts before nightfall. This fellow Wei Chi took everything that could be carried away, including the tarpaulin and wheels of the carts, leaving no waste. They transported everything back to the city, dismantling a perfectly good heavy truck that was about seventy percent new into disarray. One wonders if the truck driver, if there is a spirit in the heavens, would be so furious as to spit blood.
Brother Sun, before we discuss, could I ask you to first prepare the medicine for my wife? Once her wounds are bandaged, we can have our conversation without delay
The peculiar and cryptic demeanor of the God of the Guard puzzled Sun greatly; however, what was more pressing was the method he had never seen before, which involved using splints to stabilize the injury
This night marked the first time Wei Chi and Xie Jiu lay in bed after arriving in the Tang Dynasty. Although they shared the same bed, neither of them had the inclination to experience any sentiments, nor did they have the leisure to complain about the bed being too hard or uncomfortable. They almost collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep immediately, especially Wei Chi, who had not closed his eyes since crossing over to the Tang Dynasty, snoring with great satisfaction.
On the second day, Wei Xie and the other person were still lying in bed, wrapped in blankets, when Cui Jie had already arrived, stating that the land deed and house deed had been prepared and were specifically brought for the two of them, thus settling all financial matters and ensuring no debts remained between them
Brother Sun, you know that my wife and I have just returned from overseas, without a penny to our name and no permanent property. It is essential for us to establish ourselves in the Tang Dynasty, and we cannot do so without some income. I exchanged a family heirloom for a sum of money, which allowed me to acquire one shop each in the East and West markets, as well as one thousand five hundred acres of good farmland. This will serve as the foundation for my family's livelihood in the future
After a night of conversation, Wei Chi successfully persuaded the future great medical scientist Sun Simiao to become sworn brothers with him, despite not sharing the same surname
The recovery is better than I expected. If I could have applied the medication to you yesterday, it is said that the splint could have been removed in no more than three days.
What a privilege to receive guidance, it is merely an exchange of insights with one another
Wei Chi scratched his head and made way for the doctor
Sun Simiao, a renowned Medicine King in Chinese history, is said to have lived for over one hundred years as an immortal sage. Anyone studying medicine in China, whether in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, is familiar with him. His status among doctors is comparable to that of Confucius among Confucian scholars
What is surgery and internal medicine
Wei and Xie exchanged a glance, and even someone as calm and indifferent as Xie Jiu was also filled with shock
Wei Chi bowed deeply, of course, as a modern person, he could not kneel down, but merely performed a ninety-degree bow. On the other hand, Sun Simiao was taken aback by Wei Chi's grand gesture, feeling somewhat dazed, and asked, "Why does young brother Wei bow to me? Although I, Simiao, have a modest reputation, it is not to the extent that young brother Wei would show me such great favor?"
There is no face! Quite simply, there is no face!
The truck shell and the car shell that could not be taken away were decisively buried in a deep pit. Then, a tombstone was erected by the guards, creating a burial site for the driver. A few words were inscribed, stating that this place is the burial site of those who died from the epidemic, and that anyone who dares to disturb the grave will be cursed.
After carefully examining the bones, Wei Chi finally felt relieved. For some unknown reason, perhaps due to an accident during the journey, or perhaps because Xie Jiu's physique had returned to its peak state from his youth, the recovery of the fractured areas left Wei Chi almost dumbfounded. The physical quality was simply too formidable.
At that time, traditional Chinese medicine had not yet developed the concept of specialization; essentially, a single practitioner handled both internal and external medicine, and even gynecology and pediatrics, making them a versatile expert. Sun Simiao himself was a prominent figure among them
For example, credit cards, mobile phones, Renminbi, etc., wwwhetushu.com. Connect with the historical knowledge learned in daily life and eliminate everything that could be considered taboo.
In the East Market, my younger brother plans to open a restaurant, while in the West Market, preparations are underway to establish a medical clinic, which will be personally attended by my younger brother and sister-in-law. My elder brother is welcome to visit and provide guidance whenever he has the time
The three of them chatted until after 3 a.m., and it was only because Wei Chi cited Xie Jiu's physical injuries and his own fatigue as reasons for leaving that he managed to escape from Sun Simiao's grasp. Otherwise, he would likely have been held by Sun Simiao and continued the conversation until all his questions were answered
Sun Simiao, upon hearing that Wei Chi planned to open a medical clinic, was immediately intrigued and agreed to visit Wei Chi's clinic to offer consultations whenever he had the time. Thus, Wei Chi successfully persuaded the foremost physician of the Tang Dynasty to become his guest expert.
With the renowned divine physician Sun Simiao from the Tang Dynasty stepping in, along with the assistance of the modern surgeon Wei Chi, Xie Jiu's injury was merely a minor issue. The application of medicine and the setting of a splint were completed in one go, resolving the matter in no time.
What? Are you Sun Simiao?
Compared to ancient doctors, Xie Jiu instinctively trusts Wei Chi more. He has heard of Wei Chi's renowned bone-touching technique in M County and has great confidence in him
Sun Dada was filled with confusion. Wei Chi had no choice but to conduct an educational session titled "Basic Medical Terminology Literacy," briefly explaining to Sun Simiao the basis and characteristics of the various branches of Western medicine. Sun Simiao listened thoughtfully, but did not forget to praise the two as a perfect match, made in heaven and earth, which made Xie Jiuyu blush, while Wei Chi chuckled foolishly.
The car was also dismantled into pieces by the mechanical dragon. We do not know how to manufacture or repair cars, but dismantling is not a problem. As the saying goes, destruction is easy, but construction is difficult
However, that doctor was quite peculiar; he merely stood by and watched. When Wei Chi was about to wash his hands, he even ordered someone to bring clean water. Observing Wei Chi's exceptional bone-reading skills, the doctor's gaze was both warm and eager.
The middle-aged man did not step forward, but instead performed a deep bow and said: "I am Sun Simiao. Observing your methods, I find them quite unique. I do not dare to claim the title of doctor. May I ask if you are also someone of the medical profession?"
After gaining an understanding of the various specialties in Western medicine, Sun Dada could hardly contain his curiosity. He pulled Wei and Xie along, discussing everything from general surgery to thoracic surgery, and from internal medicine to gynecology, pediatrics, and otorhinolaryngology. Sun Simiao's extensive knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine was only partially understood by Wei and Xie, while their insights into Western medical science provided Sun Simiao with a refreshing perspective.
When everything was settled and Wei Chi was preparing to take his leave, Sun Simiao earnestly urged him to stay, expressing that they felt an instant connection and lamented the late meeting. He insisted on having a candlelit conversation with him, warmly insisting that both Wei and Xie remain in the residence.
Wei Chi grasped Sun Simiao's hand, overwhelmed with excitement: "I have long admired you, Master Sun. I have seen you countless times in my dreams. You are the idol in my heart. Please allow me to pay my respects!"
Of course, one must trust Dr. Wei's diagnosis. Well, it is advisable to consult the attending physician here for your medication, as it is likely to facilitate a quicker recovery
Second brother, do you need the property deed or the land deed
As a renowned medical scientist, a master of medicine, and the great King of Medicine, Sun Dada, his strong desire for knowledge and near-reverent love for the medical path serve as the driving force for his continuous exploration and learning. Our inquisitive Sun Dada, embodying a spirit of exploration, inquired of the time-traveling youth Wei Chi: "Brother Wei, why do we use two wooden boards to clamp the injured area? Is this action intended to stabilize the fractured bone, and does it have the effect of accelerating the healing process?"
Determined, Wei Chi was unwilling to delay even for a moment. He entrusted Xie Jiu to Sun Simiao, asking him to find a Tang Dynasty hat to replace Xie Jiu's peculiar sun hat. After arranging for a young acolyte to assist him, he shouldered a travel bag filled with copper coins and set out to find someone to help with the transportation.
How is the recovery of my leg
After a lengthy conversation, Sun Simiao learned that Wei and Xie were both medical students, one specializing in surgery and the other in internal medicine
To strike a snake, one must follow the stick; this is Wei Chi's consistent style. When Sun Dada modestly referred to him as Wei Xiaoxiong, he immediately climbed up the ladder, directly calling him Sun Xiong. Just moments ago, he was expressing admiration for him, treating him as an idol.
Is the recovery this good
Before Wei Chi and Xie Jiu descended the mountain, they had already considered the issues of automobiles and pharmaceuticals. Since they needed to transport the pharmaceuticals down the mountain, it could not be concealed. They had carefully deliberated on the questions of identity and origin, but some things still needed to be destroyed.
That early morning, after Xie Jiu woke up, Wei Chi began to discuss prying open the car. They smashed what needed to be smashed, such as the car windows, and dismantled what needed to be taken apart, like the wheels and tarpaulin. They kept what was useful and burned what was not.
Wei Chi's eyes turned towards Xie Jiu, who immediately tilted his head to avoid eye contact, showing no intention of coming to his rescue. After all, he was a surgeon trained to maintain composure as a professional; seeing a historical figure stirred such excitement in him. What would he do if he had the chance to meet Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty? Would he really go and cling to the leg of the Emperor, weeping uncontrollably?
Wei Chi coughed heavily, trying to gather his spirits, and said: "Well, what I meant just now is that I have long had a spiritual connection with Dr. Sun, indeed, a spiritual connection! As fellow practitioners in the medical field, we have had this spiritual connection for a long time, a long time indeed."
What business does the second brother plan to run after purchasing the store
After discussing, Wei Chi and Xie Jiu concluded that a so-called secret is only a secret if it can be kept. Since the trucks and such are no longer confidential, it is better not to hide them anymore. It is more advantageous to expose them openly. Human nature is quite peculiar; the more you conceal, the more curious people become. If you present it openly, perhaps after the novelty wears off, no one will care anymore
