Chapter 1204 Mu Yue (4)

When wine and water mix, the wine will become weak and the water will deteriorate. Some people will become weaker when they meet another person, just like wine mixed with water.

This sentence was told to me by my uncle who happened to be wandering around when I was going to the library a few days ago. He asked me if I drank. I said drink in moderation. He looked at me for a while and said, "I'm so clueless." Think about it. I didn't think about it because I was used to it. My uncle was always like this, chattering incomprehensible words.

However, I also took the opportunity to ask my uncle some difficult academic medical questions. For example, is there any technology available in China to perform heterotopic heart transplant surgery? What problems may you encounter later after the operation is completed, and how should you take care of it to avoid rejection and reduced immunity.

My uncle is a member of the Zhao family. The Zhao family specializes in medical research and has a good understanding of both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. I heard that in the early 19th century, the Zhao family had begun to lead the introduction of cowpox vaccination and Western medicine surgeries to the mainland. Now, although Chinese medicine is still the basic foundation, the foundation of Western medicine has never fallen behind. When any advanced medical technology comes out in foreign countries, they are the first to send people to study and inspect it.

My uncle gave me some simple suggestions, pointed out some medical books and archives to me, and finally stood at the door of the library with his hands behind his back, looked at me a few more times, and left.

I followed my uncle's instructions and looked through the files I found in the library. I looked at them for three days. Although I was not addicted to eating or drinking, I basically never left the library until the rooster crowed on the morning of the fourth day. I just crawled out of the library as if I had become an immortal, and almost died on the way home to catch up on my sleep.

When I contacted my brother again, he seemed surprised that I would take the initiative to ask to see Li Muyue again, but he still agreed and told me that I didn’t need to go through him to find Li Muyue. I could just go directly to the courtyard house last time. , if the other person is willing to meet you, you can find her.

I followed the route in my memory and found the courtyard house. I opened the door and walked in. The scenery was still the same, and I didn't see anyone else. The whole courtyard was filled with bright red flowers, but it was a pity that it was so lonely that it somewhat detracted from the scenery. .

After entering the inner courtyard, I walked around as usual and saw the sweet-scented osmanthus tree but no one under the tree. However, the stone table where I sat last time was still there, with a piece of paper pressed on it by a tea cup, which read: If there is no one, just let me sit wherever I want. When I get tired, I will go back and come back next time. As long as I am lucky, I can always meet.

It was the first time I saw a doctor come for a follow-up visit and try to see if the patient was at home. If he had a bad temper, he would have left long ago. But it was me who came to the door. I am famous for being short-tempered in the yard. Good luck. The gentleman is talking about me.

I sat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and when I had nothing to do, I studied the purple clay pot tea set. It seemed to be expensive, and the feel was better than my father’s set. I imitated Li Muyue’s tea-making technique that day, although I didn’t pay close attention to it. I went to learn, but my memory has always been good, and I learned it almost immediately. When the teapot with water flowing like oil was filling the cups in front of me, I didn't even start to pick it up. I already had one hand to take the lead. Take it.

I don't know when Li Muyue sat in front of the stone table, like a ghost. I didn't realize she was back at all. I asked her when she came in, and she said she had just arrived. I asked her why there was no sound when she walked, and she said everyone who made noise was dead.

Li Muyue asked me why I came here again while drinking tea. When I heard her words, I threw the medicine cake in my hand on the table with a dark face, and said angrily that I couldn't have come here because of your tea leaves.

Li Muyue was a little stunned when she saw the Chinese medicine prescription I threw out. She said you really plan to treat it, and I said what else? What I'm kindly saying is, please settle the bill for the medicine. Things are not cheap. If I give you another free prescription, I'll have to sell blood.

Li Muyue picked up the medicine cake on the table and weighed it a few times. Without saying anything, she looked at me with interest and lifted the item onto the stone chair beside her. This probably meant that she had collected the item.

I asked her what the sick man was doing when he went out alone? She said, do you look down on me, my aunt? A dangerous hybrid has wandered into the outer city. He has some trouble with his power. The ordinary wolf Juxu cannot cure him. The key is that this guy still has some extremist ideas. The route is to sneak into the second ring. The higher-ups are afraid that he will really cause trouble. If something happens, let me go over and kill this guy early.

I complained: Sister, you are coughing up blood, why are you doing this kind of thing like licking blood with the tip of a knife? Shouldn't someone else do this kind of thing? She glanced at me sideways and said, "Am I not the "someone else" you mentioned? Do you know what "moon" is? I have to take care of things when the moon shines at night, and I also take care of things when the moon cannot be seen during the day, 320 days a year, that's what I'm talking about.

I said, then you are really awesome. No wonder you have heart problems. If you don’t live to be twenty-two or three years old with the "yue", you will die from overwork!

As soon as I spoke, I noticed that she paused in her drinking tea. She looked at me rather strangely and asked me how I knew she had a heart problem.

Didn't I take your pulse before? I didn't have time to ask last time, but I just wanted to ask clearly this time, were you born with two hearts, or did you have one heart transplanted the day after tomorrow?

I read about the patient's situation in the cases given by my uncle. It was said that he had a heart problem and insufficient blood supply, so he considered transplanting a heart the day after tomorrow to form a dual-heart system to drive the heart with insufficient blood supply to beat together. , such patients usually have problems with reduced immunity and the inability of the circulatory system to keep up.

I think Li Muyue should be the latter. After all, it is very rare for people to be born with two hearts and still grow to such a large size stably. The number of organs in the human body is just right. One more or one less is not enough. You have an extra liver or kidney. , maybe your strength and endurance are indeed much stronger than others, but the price is that you have a shorter life and are prone to hydronephrosis.

She was silent for a long time and said that it was transplanted the day after tomorrow. Who is born with two hearts?

I told her that the medicines I prescribed were Chinese medicines that regulate the circulatory system and stabilize the heart rate. I also prescribed some astragalus, forsythia, and poria, as well as some mixed Chinese patent medicine powders that are inconvenient to spread to outsiders to increase your immunity. I have been taking this medicine since I was a child, and I have never had a cold. I take it twice a day, once in the morning and after dinner. My immunity is great!

But I finally reminded her that when I took her pulse last time, I noticed that she had some irregularities in her heartbeat. I thought she had heard wrongly, but it would make sense if there were two hearts. One of them is now gone for unknown reasons. It's starting to fail. It's best to go to the best hospital for a color ultrasound.

She thoughtfully took the medicine and asked me what would happen if I allowed my failing heart to fail?

I was immediately asked. Actually, I didn’t know what would happen in the end. Logically speaking, she had two hearts. If one heart died and the other one was still beating normally, wouldn’t it be balanced?

Because the question involved a professional nature, I didn't dare to give a firm answer. I could only vaguely tell her that if one of the organs was exhausted, wouldn't it be better to cut off the one that was exhausted? Although this kind of surgery is very dangerous, if you look for connections, you can still find giants in the medical field who are willing to do it. After all, your case is too rare, and everyone can treat you like a giant panda.

She was stunned for a while, then laughed and said that it would be better to cut it. Once it was over, she wanted to cut it too.

I said yes, if you want to cut it, I will help you contact someone. For a case like yours, I can just call outside and a large circle of medical experts are willing to take the initiative to be the first and second assistants. People in the operating room have to watch and learn. It was so crowded that it exploded.

She waved her hand and said forget it, take conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine first, and wait until the situation gets better.

Seeing that she was at least willing to take medicine, I felt relieved. Lu Xun was right. Chinese people always try to make compromises. When it came to cutting out the heart, she was willing to take medicine. In fact, it is said that surgery is encouraged, but I still have no idea. The success rate of surgery under the current medical conditions in China is really not high. If I want to send him abroad, I don’t know any foreign doctors.

After she received the medicine I gave her, she turned her tea cup around and asked me with interest, "Do I really want to cure her?" So in the coming days, won’t I have to come back for follow-up consultations with her from time to time?

I said if you don’t mind me being annoying, I can come here often. It’s not far anyway, there’s tea to drink, and beautiful women to see, so why not? The premise is that you don't vomit blood all over my face every time like the first time. I also suggested that she go to the hospital for a careful examination. Because the double-heart structure will reduce immunity, I was afraid that she would contract tuberculosis or other diseases. Although I also have ways to treat it, the treatment is not a cure, and it is still troublesome.

Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, I talked to her about the secrets of health care. She drank tea while looking at me with her hands on her cheeks. She yawned from time to time. I asked her if she was sleepy, and she just said something like that. , you have to pay for stand-up comics to go to the Drum Tower, Lotus Market, and the East and West Temples. Where can you get the comfort of having someone come to your door for free?

I just understood that she was a patient and had a bad heart, so I didn't have the same experience as her. In addition, the Longjing she served really tasted good, so I was more considerate and just rolled my eyes at her.

For a long time after that, I ran to the inner courtyard of the courtyard when I had nothing to do. Firstly, I really had nothing to do. Secondly, Li Muyue was my first patient after all. As the future Saihuatuo and In the first actual battle against Shennong, she had to show off her golden sign. She was not afraid of jokes. I swore to the "Compendium of Materia Medica" at night that I would cure my first patient.

After that, in addition to studying the ancient medical books in the library, I spent the rest of the time going to the inner courtyard of the courtyard to see if Li Muyue had taken the medicine I prescribed on time and on time. Basically, rain or shine.

If I'm lucky, I can see her hiding in the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and smoking on a sunny day. If I tell her that she should take less nicotine if she's not feeling well, then she'll inevitably spray white mist on her face teasingly, as if she's allergic to pollen. When she sneezed, it didn't matter to her, she looked up at the bright sunshine and lamented that the weather would be good tomorrow.

Most of the time it rains when I'm unlucky. I waded through the rain through the old alleys in Bei'an. The water gurgled down the bluestone steps and merged into the clear canal. When I opened the door and walked in, there was only an empty courtyard, which was wet. The sweet-scented osmanthus tree hangs a fresh light yellow color in the rain.

There is always an open oil-paper umbrella placed on the stone table under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Under the oil-paper umbrella is a pot of tea and several plates of snacks, which were all left by Li Muyue for me before she left for something else. I mentioned before that I like her Longjing tea, so leaving a cup of tea there before she left was not a waste of time for me. The snacks are also from Daoxiang Village, including her favorite mung bean cake and my favorite snowflakes. Crispy.

I often go to her place to eat and drink under the pretext of checking up on her condition. To be honest, her condition is the same no matter how much medicine she takes. Although she always said that she feels much better after taking my medicine and that she has the strength to kill people. , but I always felt like she was fooling me.

We couldn't talk much about our condition, we could only talk about daily things. What we talked about the most was gossip, and I gossiped about her.

Li Muyue is quite popular among orthodox people. I'm not surprised at all. After all, he is someone else's child. He is a superman with all-round development of morality, intelligence, body, art, and work. He is pretty, but his illness can only be regarded as an added bonus. It sounds like a debuff, but I actually think it is a positive buff.

She often complained to me that some of the young men in the Orthodox community were idiots and often confessed their feelings to her without warning. Many times she didn’t know the other person’s name at all, and the man even handed her the household registration booklet in front of her face, which made her I was very embarrassed, but I tried to maintain my composure on my face, and said coldly: If the great cause of slaying the dragon has not been accomplished, why do we call home?

I burst out laughing, saying that there were too many loopholes in what you said. Taizu had already fallen in love before his great career was accomplished, and he already had children. Why can't you get married in advance after only one month?

Her cold face as she was reproducing her lines couldn't stand up anymore. She reached out and grabbed my snowflake cake, stuffed it into her own mouth, chewed it and said, I am the first one who dares to tease the "moon" like this, even if it is... My brother also had to behave like a boy scout in front of her. She asked him to go east, but he didn't dare to go west.

Li Muyue happened to mention my brother, and I suddenly asked her, is my brother among your suitors? I think your name matches my brother's quite well, one is Li Mu, the other is Li Muyue, only one "month" is missing.

She said: Do you know that there is only one "month" missing? It's just one word, so it's all in vain. By the way, your brother was the one who pursued me the most fiercely, and he was also the most independent. He openly challenged all the boys who pursued me. He received a lot of beatings for this, but at least he stood firm and was not ashamed. It also saves me a lot of trouble. At least there will no longer be a heartless guy who chops off Deadpool’s head and throws it on the ground in front of me and says it’s a betrothal gift for me.

I asked her in surprise, aren't you attracted by how handsome my brother is? When those girls in the compound hugged his thighs with runny noses and bubbles, he didn't even look at him. There were as many men as there were men.

She looked at me sideways and said, "What's the use of beating me?" Can I fight? I told your brother directly face to face that it is impossible for me to be with him. If he wants me to be his girlfriend, the only possibility is that he sneaks up on me one day, knocks me out with a stick, and carries me back to the bridal chamber. go!

I said that was considered rape, and my brother couldn't do it as a gentleman. Unexpectedly, she said with a smile that if your brother really succeeded, it would be fine if I didn't sue him. It would definitely not be considered rape if it was not against the woman's will.

I was a little dazed when I heard her say this. Looking at her smiling face, there was snowflakes in my stomach, sunshine on my neck, mushy in my head, panic in my soul, and something weird flowing in my heart.

At that time, I just thought it was because I choked on the snowflake cake, so I drank two more sips of Longjing and gave her a thumbs up without raising my head, saying that sisters are so generous! After putting down the tea cup, I raised my head and found a strange smile on her expression when she looked at me.

I spent a lot of time like that, I was very free, and she was also very free most of the time, carefree, drinking Longjing, eating snowflake cakes under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, scolding Lang Juxu loudly for not treating people as human beings, Just act like a beast. "Yue" also has human rights, and she must take the holidays she deserves! She also said that what disgusted her was not the ugliness of the world, but the beautiful mask the world wore! It is said that this world is crazy, degenerate and inhumane, but there are always people who are always sober, gentle and spotless! Then I realized something was wrong, so I grabbed her teacup and found it was full of strong liquor.

I can’t remember exactly what else we talked about in the days that followed. In short, it was just gossip that you don’t need to remember seriously, and you don’t need to listen carefully.

It will impress me further. It was probably the day when I suddenly told her that I was getting married.

I still remember that it was a sunny afternoon. Li Muyue and I drank Longjing tea and ate snacks from Osmanthus Village as usual. We scolded Commander Lang Juxu for treating people like animals, and scolded those who did not believe in evil and came to her to express their feelings. Can you, the idiot, have some heart?

When the scolding reached the depths of my love, I handed her an invitation and said with a smile, I will be getting married in a while. As "Yue", won't you come and be the bridesmaid to make me happy?

She was drinking tea at that time, and she raised her hand and pushed away my hand that was handing me the invitation to tell me to stop making trouble. Can a boring gourd like me get married? It is better to believe that the Dragon King can be resurrected under her nose than to believe that I will get married!

It wasn't until a while later, when she saw that I didn't respond, that she turned around and saw the big red wedding invitation I handed over. She was stunned for a few seconds. After accepting it, she opened it and looked at it carefully. Then she raised her eyebrows and glared at me, questioning me. Whose daughter did you secretly beat?

I was anxious at that time and said that our friendship would be fine, but don't slander others. What does it mean to be a sap? It means not going against the wishes of other women! People are chasing me! My mother and father pushed me hard again, and I was also pushed to the top! As for which daughter is not written above? After killing people for a long time, our culture has regressed to the point where we can no longer read, right?

Before I finished speaking, my mouth was stuffed with snowflake cakes. When one was not enough, a second one was stuffed into it, as if it was going to choke me to death, so I stuffed it and told me happy wedding.

The wedding invitation that fell to the ground did clearly say:

It is decided that [Li Xingchu] will hold a wedding ceremony for [Zhao Yanman] on July 18, 1993 in the Gregorian calendar.
