Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Remember By Heart
Even in his advanced years, he still stood on the front lines of medical care, all to give more people the dawn of life.
However, this great mentor tragically fell victim to a patient’s malicious injury, and her life came to an abrupt end.
Her master was deeply affected by this and chose to live in seclusion in the mountains, leading a life of simplicity.
In such an encounter, he met the young and orphaned Su Yu, whom he raised and to whom he passed on all his lifetime of knowledge.
He often admonished Su Yu that one should live for oneself, not to be obsessed with false fame, and that self-preservation is always the most important, no matter the circumstances.
This teaching deeply influenced Su Yu, shaping her into a being with an independent, strong, and unyielding character.
In the field of medical skills, the master’s instruction for Su Yu was almost harsh; she had to be proficient in identifying various herbs from a young age, mastering everything from the subtle textures to the unique properties of each; and she had to understand the human body’s meridians and acupoints as well as her own blood vessels.
Not only that, but Su Yu could also recite the obscure medical theories and classical works passed down for a thousand years by heart, as if the crystallization of this wisdom had been deeply engraved in her mind.
Most commendable was Su Yu’s devoted study of the tens of thousands of medical records her master had accumulated over decades, containing both the treatment of common ailments and brilliant examples of curing many complex diseases that had confounded countless doctors.
She was like a meticulous scholar, refining and absorbing her master’s lifetime work, turning it into the foundation of her own medical skills.
Faced with various diseases, to Su Yu, it was no more difficult than picking a leaf at random in daily life.
The calmness and professional confidence she displayed during diagnoses were deeply impressive.
Each time she inquired about a patient’s condition, her words were gentle yet precise, quickly getting to the heart of the pain; and when it came to treatment, the fluidity of her skill was nothing short of breathtaking.
This professionalism and attention to detail gradually won people’s trust and respect, from the initial curious and skeptical visitors to the later word-of-mouth, highly acclaimed loyal patients, each one hopeful that under Su Yu’s care, their discomfort could be relieved and their vitality renewed.
One day, Yuan Feng took the prescription handed to him by a patient and his eyes widened in shock. That handwriting... it was as if a playful child had scrawled across the paper, making it difficult to recognize at first glance! After a moment, he realized and slapped his own cheek in self-mockery, cursing, "Look at this crow’s mouth of mine, always spouting nonsense!"
The writing might seem strange and hard to interpret at first, but on closer inspection, it was not without clues. Between the lines, there was actually the unique charm of Director Su; only due to his lack of depth in his studies did he find it confusing.
This "incomprehensibility" was naturally his own deficiency, unrelated to Director Su’s superb medical skills.
Yuan Feng pondered over the prescription, and before he knew it, the crowd waiting outside had shifted from seeking consultations to waiting for medicines, and the line seemed to have grown longer.
Some people grew impatient and started to grumble, "Little attendant, what are you doing? Slacking off?"
Yuan Feng’s heart filled with mixed emotions, but he could only hasten his movements in silence, striving to finish as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Director Liu, having finished his busy work, came to the medicine counter to see what was slowing things down. Catching a glimpse of the prescription written by Su Yu’s hand, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, amused and incredulous.
Since there were no other patients waiting for consultations, Director Liu decided to lend a hand himself, personally preparing the medicines according to the prescription that appeared to be a "Heavenly Book."
This assistance allowed Director Liu to discover a new realm—the method of Su Yu’s prescriptions was like a stroke of genius, the combination of medicinal herbs was innovative and unique, making one exclaim in admiration.
As Director Liu carefully studied the ratios and intentions of the prescription, he felt as if the channels of thought within his mind were being opened one by one, and treatment ideas for those previously insurmountable cases surged forth like a fountain.
The once awkward handwriting gradually became pleasing and enchanting in his eyes.
The more Director Liu delved into it, the more he found delight in its intricacies, secretly congratulating himself for silently acquiring the essence of Su Yu’s medical skills.
However, he had not expected Su Yu’s thoughts to be so meticulous.
On a leisurely afternoon, Su Yu took the initiative to find Director Liu, discussing with him the similarities and differences in their medical philosophies and practices, as well as the secrets behind them.
This conversation was a moment of enlightenment for Director Liu, who realized that his previous views had been too narrow.
Su Yu did not agree with what he considered "selfless teaching." She insisted that every doctor has unique expertise and the significance of exchange lies in mutual learning and complementing each other, not simply giving away all one has.
After all, how could the depth and breadth of medical skills be easily exhausted by words? As time slowly passed, the hustle and bustle of the Medical Hall gradually quieted down. The tide-like crowd of patients slowly receded, leaving only a few who specifically sought out Director Liu.
Su Yu stood beside the counter, tallying the morning’s busy earnings, as the consultation fees converged into a stream, totaling eight hundred wen in Copper Coins.
Pondering over the hard-earned money, she unconsciously curved her lips into a smile, planning to use the sum for purchasing a batch of precious herbs.
The task Jiang Xiehe entrusted to her today echoed repeatedly in Su Yu’s mind; Yueyue’s freckled, tender face seemed to silently convey a little girl’s yearning for beauty.
She thought to herself that since she was to concoct a beauty and skincare prescription for Yueyue, she might as well prepare some natural skincare products for herself too—buying everything at once would be economical and efficient.
Feeling Director Liu’s unconditional trust and support, warmth surged within Su Yu’s heart.
Director Liu’s generous proposal shone like a ray of sunlight in winter, illuminating the mutual respect and support among doctors.
She bowed deeply, her tone brimming with sincere gratitude, "I will always remember Director Liu’s kindness in my heart," she said.
Zhang Yufei quickly waved his hands, his smile warm and sincere, revealing the simple goodness and kindness of a doctor.
"As colleagues, we should naturally help each other. My home is just behind the alley of the Medical Hall, so please feel free to ask if you need anything."
These heartfelt words imperceptibly closed the distance between the two, and the seed of friendship quietly took root and sprouted through frequent exchanges. Both saw in the other qualities that were trustworthy, and the bridge of friendship gradually solidified.
With eight hundred wen in hand, Su Yu entered the herbal shop, where every penny was spent judiciously.
The cost price promised by Zhang Yufei meant that the quality of the herbs she got was exceptional, not only abundant but also of high quality, with several parcels fully packed, nearly filling the entire medicine basket.
Such a bargain was indeed rare in the herb market.
Seeing this, Yuan Feng, eager to make amends for his earlier faux pas, volunteered to help carry the herbs to Su Yu’s carriage, hoping to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
