Chapter 803: The Medical Book I Picked Up
"You know me?" Li Mengdong asked in disbelief. In recent years, he has rarely appeared in public. Twenty years ago, he might be recognized when he went out, but now, this situation is rare.
"I met you when I was five years old, and even took a photo with you!" Yu Fan ran back to the house, pulled out a large box from under the bed, and unzipped the box. Some books that looked quite old, Yu Fan picked up one of them, opened it gently, and took out a piece of old newspaper that was cut out from it.
The newspaper was yellow and looked old. There was a picture on the newspaper. In the picture, two men were standing side by side. One of the men was holding a little boy who looked only four or five years old in his arms.
The clarity of the photos in the newspaper can be imagined, but one can vaguely tell that the man holding the child is Li Mengdong, and the child in Li Mengdong's arms is somewhat similar to the current Yu Fan.
At this time, Liu Lang and Li Mengdong had already entered the house.
Yu Fan carefully handed the old newspaper to Li Mengdong.
Li Mengdong took the old newspaper suspiciously. Apart from the photo, there was a paragraph of text in the old newspaper. The title of the text read, Li Mengdong created traditional Chinese medicine therapy, and the virus raging all over the world is expected to be brought under control.
Seeing that title, Li Mengdong's thoughts returned to more than ten years ago. At that time, a terrible virus broke out in the world, and the death rate was extremely high. Tens of thousands of people died, and Huaxia was not spared. Experts in traditional Chinese medicine went deep into the front line, and after countless attempts, they finally developed an anti-virus prescription. After the prescription was widely promoted, the epidemic was finally brought under control and countless lives were saved.
It is precisely because of this incident that Li Mengdong became famous internationally, and Chinese medicine, which has always been regarded as witchcraft by the West, has been widely recognized.
And Li Mengdong clearly remembered that the child in the photo was the first infected person he cured that year.
"Is this the child or you?" Li Mengdong asked in surprise as he looked at the photo and then at Yu Fan.
"It's me." Yu Fan nodded solemnly, then pointed to the other man in the photo, "This is my grandfather, he was your assistant back then."
"I remember, your grandfather should be called Yu Fulai, Yu Fulai!" Li Mengdong said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, my grandfather's name is Yu Fulai." Yu Fan didn't expect that after more than ten years, Li Mengdong could still remember his grandfather's name.
"How is he now?" Li Mengdong didn't expect such a coincidence. Back then, when he went to the front line, he was cooperated by local doctors. Although Yu Fulai was only a rural doctor, his level was very high, and he was straightforward and dared to challenge. The authority, several times, had been arguing with him red-faced, and it was because of this that he was so impressed with Fulai.
"My grandfather passed away seven years ago." Yu Fan said sadly.
Hearing that his old friend had passed away, Li Mengdong felt a little sentimental. After a long time of calm, he asked, "I heard that you have been learning Chinese medicine by yourself?"
"My grandfather told me since I was a child that my life was given by Chinese medicine practitioners, so I always wanted to be a Chinese medicine doctor, but later, my grandfather passed away, and my family's conditions did not allow me to continue my studies, so I took advantage of it. I studied by myself during the breaks when I was working outside, I read all the medical books I could read, and then pondered on my own, I don’t know if it’s right or not.” Yu Fan explained.
"Courage is commendable." Li Mengdong nodded, "Then tell me, what have you learned by yourself?"
Although Yu Fan and Yu Fan are considered old friends, accepting apprentices is not based on feelings, but on talent. If Yu Fan has no talent for learning Chinese medicine, even if he is his own grandson, Li Mengdong will not accept him.
He asked Yu Fan to talk about what he had learned by himself, even if he wanted to see what level Yu Fan was.
Of course Yu Fan knew what it meant. He already had a premonition that the teacher introduced to him by the stranger before was Li Mengdong. Li Mengdong had always been a mythical figure in Yu Fan's eyes.
If he could really recognize his savior Li Mengdong as a teacher, then Yu Fan would be so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days.
At the same time, Yu Fan also knew that this was an opportunity for him to change his destiny. Whether he would become a doctor respected by everyone in the future, or continue to return to the construction site to move bricks, it was all in one fell swoop.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Fan tried his best to calm down his nervousness and said, "I first learned the meridians and acupoints of the human body, which are the foundation of the human body..."
Yu Fan, who seemed dull and reticent, talked about Chinese medicine, eloquently.
Li Mengdong just listened calmly at first, but soon, he showed a shocked expression, because he had never heard of many Chinese medicine theories that Yu Fan said.
However, while listening and thinking, Li Mengdong felt that these theories were very correct.
It's just unbelievable.
Liu Lang next to him didn't feel this way, because Liu Lang's understanding of Chinese medicine was limited to one book. Although it was named the holy book of medicine, it was only a book after all, and the content could not be too comprehensive.
Moreover, there are many schools of Chinese medicine, and each school's understanding is different.
Therefore, Liu Lang couldn't understand some of what Yu Fan said. To be honest, Liu Lang's current level of Chinese medicine is to compare it mechanically. The ability to judge cannot be called a doctor at all.
Since he didn't understand much, Liu Lang stopped listening.
He was sitting on Qian Shuxin's wooden bed, and under his feet was the big box that Yu Fan had just pulled out. Inside the box were medical books that looked old.
Liu Lang casually picked up a book and started to read it.
On the other side, Li Mengdong became more and more frightened when he heard it, and finally couldn't help but interrupt Yu Fan, "Yu Fan, what you just said was taught by your grandfather?"
Before that, he had a lot of contact with Yu Fan's grandfather, Yu Fulai. Although Yu Fulai's level was very high, he didn't have so many novel Chinese medicine theories.
Yu Fulai's main ability is reflected in clinical experience, which is the characteristic of that generation of rural doctors. Those rural doctors may not be able to explain why you are sick, but they can give you effective treatment methods based on experience.
"Some were taught to me by my grandfather, and some were read by myself." Yu Fan said honestly.
"From a book? What book? A medical book left by your grandfather?" Li Mengdong asked.
"My grandfather left some, and I picked them up." Yu Fan said.
"Pick it up? Where did you pick it up?" Li Mengdong asked curiously. He didn't believe that Yu Fan's novel theories came from the medical books left by Fu Lai.
Yu Fan just wanted to answer Li Mengdong's question.
Liu Lang, who was sitting quietly reading a book, suddenly jumped up and grabbed Yu Fan's arm, "Yu Fan, where did you get this book?"
