Although the holiday had started, Lu Yao still worked and rested as usual.
He got up and cultivated before the sun rose. When he estimated that Lu Yiqian had woken up, he stopped cultivating and busied himself with preparing breakfast for his Godfather.
This was also a habit that Lu Yao had made before the operation. Once the holiday came around, he would always make breakfast for Godfather before he went to work. Sometimes, he would even prepare lunch in advance and put it in an old thermal container for Godfather to take with him.
Today was certainly no exception. Lu Yao had breakfast with Godfather. Then, they went to the martial arts school together. But Lu Yiqian didn't need to bring lunch now.
Shuangta City was located at the border, and its economy was relatively under-developed. However, this also made the local natural environment relatively well-preserved.
Recently, with the joint support of the provincial government, prefectural government, and municipal government, Shuangta City held a grand Mountain Flower Festival. Some famous performing groups and individuals far and near came to attend the opening ceremony of the Festival. The scene was very lively.
As a famous and well-known martial arts school in the city, Tianxin Martial Arts School was also invited by the organizers to participate in the opening ceremony. After a final deliberation, the school presented a brilliant martial arts performance produced by some ordinary students.
The performance also caused a martial arts boom in Shuangta City. Many martial arts fans came to sign up for martial arts lessons and wanted to learn some martial arts techniques.
Because many people signed up for martial arts lessons in the school, Lu Yiqian was busier than before. So he did not have time to go home at noon.
Fortunately, Tianxin Martial Arts School was a regular school and provided its employees and students with a sumptuous work meal.
After a busy morning, Lu Yao had a work meal with his Godfather, Wang Ping, and Buick at noon. Then in the afternoon, he no longer stayed in the martial arts school, but went to the Sanbao Pharmacy.
After what happened last time, Lu Yao had received the super VIP treatment in Sanbao Pharmacy.
No matter which floor he went to, the lobby manager would accompany him personally. This made Lu Yao feel a little embarrassed.
Since that day, Dr. Hu had been sitting on the sofa at the door and looking in the direction of the door when no patients came to see him.
He had been waiting for the young man with amazing acupuncture skills to come again.
For someone like him who had been obsessed with medicine, he was intoxicated when he saw Lu Yao performing the mysterious acupuncture technique to rescue Aunt Qiu's father. For a moment, it was as if he was possessed.
After he went back that day, he recalled Lu Yao's techniques from memory and performed them countless times on a medical model. However, no matter what, he could not insert the needles crisply without the slightest error as Lu Yao did.
Even if he searched through the medical books, he still could not find the slightest related records. So he made up his mind that when Lu Yao came again, he would definitely "beg" him to answer his doubts.
Under such circumstances, Dr. Hu could not eat or sleep well. In just a few short days, he had also become thinner.
Dr. Hu knew what Lu Yao's name was. If he wanted to find him, it wouldn't be difficult. But he didn't do that.
Because he was afraid that if he went rashly, he might make him angry. Then there would be no room for him to maneuver in the future.
Therefore, he had been waiting for Lu Yao to come to the pharmacy again. Then, he would try his best to establish a good relationship with him.
He even silently decided in his heart that as long as Lu Yao did not raise any conditions that might contradict medical ethics and human relations, he would agree to any condition he raised. Even if Lu Yao asked him to lower his status to be his apprentice, he would not hesitate.
Fortunately, Dr. Hu's noble medical ethics and personality charm made Lu Yao feel particularly warm and comfortable.
Lu Yao agreed to Dr. Hu's request without hesitation.
Although Dr. Hu was an ordinary person and did not understand what Li Jiang had said, he had decades of work experience and had cured at least thousands of patients.
His practical experience was far superior to that of Lu Yao. Although Lu Yao knew miraculous acupuncture skills, he lacked experience the most. Discussing with Dr. Hu could remedy his shortcomings.
Thus, the two of them had a long talk like old friends who had not met each other for many years.
During the discussion, Dr. Hu stubbornly addressed Lu Yao as "Teacher Lu."
In the beginning, Lu Yao was very unaccustomed to this title. However, according to what Dr. Hu said, seniority didn't matter in medicine, the more enlightened ones would be the masters. Lu Yao's acupuncture technique was the most powerful one that Dr. Hu had ever seen in his lifetime. Therefore, he was worthy of being called Teacher Lu.
As the two of them talked more, Lu Yao came to understand Dr. Hu's character. He knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless, so he did not bother about this anymore.
The more they talked, the more congenial they became. In the end, at the warm invitation of Dr. Hu, Lu Yao agreed to see patients for two hours in the next two days in Sanbao Pharmacy to verify some things with Dr. Hu.
However, Lu Yao raised two requests before accepting the invitation.
First, his identity had to be kept completely secret and could not be leaked, not even the slightest bit of relevant information.
Second, when he was in the clinic, the patients he treated would not be charged. Moreover, Sanbao Pharmacy was not allowed to charge any fee either. Everything was completely free.
This was surely what Li Jiang had specially instructed Lu Yao to do.
Dr. Hu had no objection himself. After asking Fang Jinghua, president of the Sanbao Pharmacy, he agreed to Lu Yao's request unconditionally.
Originally, Fang Jinghua was still considering how to build a relationship with Lu Yao. Now, what Lu Yao did had saved him a lot of trouble. So he agreed to Lu Yao's conditions without any hesitation.
Since Lu Yao did not want to expose his identity, Fang Jinghua immediately provided him with the most popular voice-changing mask in the current high-end technology market.
As for providing free medical services, Sanbao Pharmacy had done similar services in its promotion activities. So this was not a problem for him.
..
..
Fang Jinghua, the richest man in Shuangta City, was really capable. From the day Lu Yao agreed to see patients to the next day Lu Yao came to Dr. Hu's office as promised, under his p********a and operation, the news of the "Masked Acupuncturist" providing free medical services in Sanbao Pharmacy had been known all over the streets and lanes of Shuangta City in one night.
Although no one knew who this so-called "Masked Acupuncturist" was, they still kept discussing the news due to the reputation of Sanbao Pharmacy.
Wherever they were, on the street or a bus, almost everyone was discussing and guessing what kind of person this "Masked Acupuncturist" who had superb acupuncture skills was. Why did he become famous overnight?
Some news agencies that had a sensitive sense of news immediately sent out their best paparazzi to interview and uncover this mysterious "Masked Acupuncturist" thoroughly.
There were also some "persistent patients" who had been suffering from illnesses for many years and had visited all the major hospitals. They held the attitude of giving it a try and stayed at the door of Sanbao Pharmacy's building with a wheelchair or a small stool all night.
For a moment, whether it was the positive or the negative news, "Masked Acupuncturist" and Sanbao Pharmacy became popular anyway.
..
..
The first patient Lu Yao received in the consultation room was a patient with a stroke.
According to classical medical literature, strokes could be divided into two types: external stroke and inter stroke.
Based on the specific causes of strokes, people often referred to internal stroke as brain infarction, brain hemorrhage, and so on.
On the other hand, the external stroke was caused by wind pathogen, and there were symptoms such as drooped mouth and eyes and being unable to speak.
Generally, when people had a stroke, the first thing they would think of was acupuncture treatment. Therefore, the patient in front of Lu Yao who was also the first patient today was coincidentally a patient with an external stroke.
"When did this happen to the patient? Has he taken the medicine?" As Lu Yao's witness and assistant today, Dr. Hu asked about the patient according to his daily routine for Lu Yao.
"My husband was fine when he slept last night. He became like this after waking up in the morning. I heard others saying that acupuncture treatment is the most effective. So I brought him here. I hope that you can do your best to cure him!" The patient's wife who accompanied him replied.
After hearing what the patient's wife said, Dr. Hu stopped asking questions. He just looked back at Lu Yao to see what method he would use to treat the patient.
External stroke was not a serious illness. Ordinary doctors would use acupuncture and medicine to treat it.
Lu Yao also knew that this was his first patient today. Curing him was extremely important. So he did not act too shockingly. Instead, he said to the patient, "Lying on the bed with your face upward, take off your shirt and socks!"
The patient did as instructed.
The routine inquiry process could be done by Dr. Hu. But the acupuncture had to be done by Lu Yao himself.
He took out three silver needles from his needle box and performed the acupuncture treatment using a very fast method. In an instant, the treatment was finished, and the three silver needles were back in Lu Yao's hand again
"It is done, come down!"
As soon as Lu Yao said this, the onlookers at the door were in an uproar and talking at once even before the patient could say anything.
"Is it done? This is not performing a magic trick." The woman did not see anything at all. When she heard that Lu Yao asked her husband to come down, she was immediately unwilling.
"It seems that this Sanbao Pharmacy has also changed. It hired a swindler to treat patients!"
"It's hard to say. What if Sanbao Pharmacy was also deceived?"
For a moment, all sorts of opinions could be heard.
"We came all the way here to see a doctor because of the reputation of Sanbao Pharmacy. I didn't expect you to become like this. It's really outrageous!" When the woman heard that other people also said the same thing, she protested with even more confidence.
"Dr. Hu, I want you to treat me. I always believe in your medical skills and personality. I don't trust this masked swindler!" The patient also said.
"That's right, Dr. Hu..." The patient's wife was halfway through her sentence and snapped out of her trance when she realized that the people around her were staring at them.
She hugged her husband excitedly and examined him thoroughly.
"Darling, you are really cured. You are really cured!"
"I... am cured!"
According to common sense, it was completely correct to treat an external stroke with acupuncture. But no one had ever heard that the stroke could be cured in just three or four seconds.
This was simply something unheard of.
For a moment, the patient jumped out of bed and looked at himself carefully in the large mirror at the door.
The people inside and outside the consulting room no longer paid attention to the patient, and they all looked at the masked doctor with a strange look.
No one could figure out how Lu Yao did it.
