Chapter 8 Examination

"No problem, Claire can stay as long as she wants!" Zhen Fan pinched Claire's face again, "Mrs. Moore, don't worry, Claire will leave it to me!"

"Thank you so much!" Annie's face was a little red, and it was obvious to her that it was a bit abrupt to cause trouble for the neighbors after only two days, "Call me Annie, isn't Mrs. Moore too formal? "

"Okay, Annie, don't worry!" Zhen Fan was not hypocritical.

Annie smiled at Zhen Fan, then squatted down and touched Claire's face, full of affection, "Since you like it, stay here!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door, then blinked at Zhen Fan again.

Zhen Fan got the signal and followed Annie to the door in understanding.

Annie looked worriedly at Claire who was smiling and eating cake in the living room, and smiled apologetically: "Claire has been a bit weird since she was a child, and she doesn't want to go to school until now. It's not that she hasn't been, she always Being bullied, if you find it troublesome, I will take her back in a while!"

"It's okay, maybe she will become happier and happier with me!"

Zhen Fan smiled, he had already seen that Claire was a little different, very strange.

"Thank you! Goodbye, Zhen!"

Annie leaned over, hugged Zhen Fan's shoulder lightly, and then left.

"Goodbye, Annie!"

Zhen Fan waved his hand at Annie, then turned around to look at Claire who was staring at him and smiling. With Zhen Fan, more and more smiles appeared on her face.

"Is it delicious?" Zhen Fan sat cross-legged across from Clay, reached out and touched her head, "Do you like my place?"

Claire nodded, then lowered her head again, and looked at Zhen Fan timidly.

"Can I come to your place more often, Uncle Zhen."

"Of course, why not!"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhen!" Claire suddenly raised her small face and smiled, the little dimples on her fair face looked very cute, her eyes were flickering, just like the Barbie doll in her hand.

"Then tell Uncle, why does Claire like Uncle here?"

"Because I can't see them here with uncle!"

Claire looked delighted.

"They?" Zhen Fan looked at Claire suspiciously.

Claire nodded, with a tense expression on her face, as if she had lingering fears about "them".

Zhen Fan looked her eyes carefully again, and then smiled with some relief, already understanding what Claire meant by "they".

This poor little girl, it's no wonder that she is usually timid, as if she is guarding against someone. However, the place I live in is, for my own reasons, very clean and free from the erosion of evil things, so it is much cleaner than other places, which is why Claire wants to stay here.

Zhen Fan asked Claire to play in the living room and study after eating the cake by herself, moved a chair by herself, and sat in a cool place by the window to read a book. At least I should get the qualification certificate of practicing Chinese medicine. Anyway, I have also studied Chinese medicine for five years.

After most of the day, Zhen Fan was a little tired from watching, and looked at the living room, Claire was tired from playing, and was lying quietly on the sofa to sleep.

Crouching like a kitten, there is already a chatty smile on the small face, which is very cute.

"Tuk-tuk!"

Someone knocked on the door, Zhen Fan opened it, and it was Annie who came over.

"Hush!" Zhen Fan put his finger to his lips, "Claire is asleep!"

Let Annie in. Annie followed Zhen Fan's fingers and looked at Claire who was curled up on the sofa and covered with a small blanket. The smile on her little face made her extremely pleased.

The two walked lightly to the other side of the living room and said this in a low voice.

"She...hasn't slept so peacefully for a long time. It's incredible to see her smile. How did you do it? Claire seldom smiles when she's at home."

Annie couldn't bear her curiosity.

"Mrs. Moore... Annie... That's it. It might be unbelievable to say it, but I think Claire must be troubled, for example, she will see something she shouldn't see!"

Zhen Fan tried his best to explain the matter clearly, but it was obvious that Annie had misunderstood.

Her fair and tender face was flushed, and she was a little uneasy.

""This...you mean...sex? Thomas and I have paid attention to it, and our rooms are separate... Is there something we have overlooked, God! "

Annie covered her mouth.

Zhen Fan was speechless, watching the young woman's face turn from white and tender to crimson, from crimson to pale.

"Ahem!" Zhen Fan coughed dryly and thought for a while, "Annie, do you believe that people have souls?"

Annie looked at Zhen Fan in surprise, and then realized that she had made a mistake. She was a little embarrassed, but was soon overwhelmed by Zhen Fan's question!

"What do you mean by this...?"

"That's why I said... What Claire sees are things that shouldn't be seen, at least it is impossible for ordinary people to see!"

"God, God, how is this possible!"

Annie suddenly covered her mouth and stared at Zhen Fan in surprise.

"I guess, when Claire was born, was she very weak, or had a serious illness?"

"Yes, but..."

"Is she not in good health all the time?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"That's right, Annie, look at Claire's browbones, there is a little depression there, so in China, it is the so-called yin and yang eyes. It can see life or death!"

"How...how did this happen? This...is too surprising, and too..." She wanted to say "absurd", but seeing Zhen Fan's serious look, she still didn't say it!

"Okay, Anne, just treat me as nonsense, but if Claire likes it, she is welcome at any time in the future, and I think it will be good for her to let her stay with me for a while!"

"Thank you..." Annie hesitated at this moment.

Of course, Zhen Fan could see this hesitation.

After Claire woke up, Annie took her away in a hurry. Although Claire was a little bit reluctant and looked at Zhen Fan sadly, Zhen Fan was helpless. Obviously, what Zhen Fan said just now frightened Annie, and made her doubt Zhen Fan, maybe it was distrust!

Zhen Fan didn't bother to care about her, she didn't want Claire to come, so she didn't come, I just felt sorry for that little girl! What's more, Zhen Fan only judged what he said based on what he had learned, and he couldn't bear to say whether it was accurate or not.

Then life returned to calm, Zhen Fan lived in seclusion every day, except to buy some necessities of life outside, the rest of the time was to stay at home and read.

Claire would come here once in a while, but each time she didn't stay for long, she would be picked up by Annie. And Annie obviously talked less with Zhen Fan.

That's good, and it's a lot cleaner.

During this time, Zhen Fan first went to the California State Board of Education to submit the application for the certificate and the exam, and then received the receipt smoothly. After another ten days, he received the notice of preparing for the exam.

This is also Zhen Fan's good luck. Originally, the California exam was held in April, but this year's exam was temporarily changed to July. This may also be the reason why someone in power was kicked in the head by a donkey.

"Ross, I want to rent your taxi and go to Los Angeles!" Zhen Fan called the black buddies one day in advance to avoid being in a hurry.

"Eddie, my name is Eddie..." The voice on the other end of the phone was very angry, and then the sound of emergency braking came from the receiver, "You bastard, do you think I cut your balls... Hey, I'm not talking about you, buddy, tell me a time, I'll be there on time, don't forget my name!"

The phone hung up, this guy has always been in such a hurry.

That night, Zhen Fan went to bed early, and he had to recharge his batteries to prepare for tomorrow's exam.

Early the next morning, Eddie waited at the door and kept honking the horn!

"What are you going to test? Police? Lawyer or doctor?"

"Chinese medicine!" Zhen Fan sat in, and Eddie rushed away with a kick of the accelerator.

"Chinese medicine? I've heard of it. It's amazing. My brother used to use Chinese medicine to treat diseases. I was shocked when the needle was so long. To be honest, it's like witchcraft!"

"Oh? Your brother has tried Chinese medicine?"

"Yes, but it didn't work, and he died in the end, didn't he?"

Is there a connection? What is the connection between no effect and death? Didn't it say that his brother was drowned that day? Was dragged into the water by a strange fish.

According to Eddie's speed, Zhen Fan soon arrived at the place of the exam, the Merrill Hotel on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles.

"Good luck, buddy!"

Eddie gave Zhen Fan a thumbs up.

Zhen Fan was raising his hand to return an "ok" gesture, when he heard a "hoo", the taxi had disappeared, leaving only a somewhat embarrassed Zhen Fan.

Clean needle skills on the first day include written test and operation, including disease infection, theory and operation of clean needle technology, clinical guidelines for safe acupuncture, etc. There are 30 questions and answers and fill-in-the-blank written test in the morning, completed within the stipulated time, and passed once. In the afternoon, I took the test operation, pricked needles in myself, explained and answered questions to the invigilator.

There is no problem with this, as long as you answer in order.

It is a written examination of TCM theory and clinical practice, five hours, 200 multiple-choice questions, including the basics of TCM, diagnosis, acupuncture skills and clinical practice.

The exam is held in the lobby of the hotel. When Zhen Fan looked at it, he saw that it was densely packed with darkness, and it was spectacular. There were more than a thousand people who took the exam, most of them were Americans, and most of them were Caucasian, and there were a few black people. Asians have become a minority instead. It seems that acupuncture and moxibustion of Chinese medicine really has its unique magic power.

The third day is the acupoint test. The invigilator gives 15 acupoints, and the examiner puts a special adhesive tape on the acupoints of the model within the specified time. Real-life models sit in separate test rooms, with invigilators standing beside them.

In the past three days, Eddie was very punctual, and he was able to appear in front of Zhen Fan on time every time. He was very dedicated in picking up and dropping off, and of course it was because Zhen Fan spent two hundred dollars.

Finally, after all the exams were over, Zhen Fan walked out of the hotel. He came out early, and Eddie hadn't come yet, so he stood at the joint, looking around bored.

The phone rang, and when Zhen Fan picked it up, he heard a woman's voice.

"That woman is dead!"

Which woman died? Zhen Fan was dumbfounded.
