Chapter 217 - Patients Showed Up (1/2)

In the next morning, the four people had their breakfast in the hall of the hotel. Liu Shuai found that Xiao Hong had dark circles of his eyes and asked, “Xiao Hong, what’s the matter with you? You look so tired. The room of the hotel is quite comfortable, and did you not used to it?”

“No, it has nothing to do with the bed! It’s all him!” Xiao Hong pointed with great anger at Hao Ning who was holding his breakfast. He cursed in a low voice, “I was tortured for the whole night by him!”

Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan looked at each other and laughed sportively, “Really? You said you wanted to have a girlfriend. Do you have a crush on your Hao Ning? He is a man! Your Innate Fire Spirit and Amina were released by Yang energy!”

“No, no,” Liu Shuai shook his head and said. “Xiao Hong said he was tortured by Hao Ning for the whole night. I think Xiao Hong was forced by Hao Ning against Xiao Hong’s will. Hao Ning, you hide too much about yourself. You told us that you had no interest in Xiao Hong, but what you did in private, um…”

“You are right!” Zhou Yuan hold his laugh and said to Xiao Hong. “You need to tell Hao Ning that he should not toss you heavily. Look at your face. Just one night, you have already been so weak. You won’t tolerate it for so long.”

“It seems not right to put it in this way!” Liu Shuai pretended to be surprised and said, “We each have our own room. Why did Xiao Hong stay in Hao Ning’s room last night?”

“Stop it!” Xiao Hong knew that the two people were playing jokes and Xiao Hong had seen that Avalokitesvara turned to be a man or a woman to guide ordinary people. He did not care about that and explained with a smile, “I thought he was brave. But after you left, he grasped me and did not let me go. He said he was so afraid to be cut for research when he was asleep.”

Hao Ning came back with breakfast and he quibbled after he heard Xiao Hong’s word., “You cannot blame me for last night! You know that I was so scared yesterday. I dare not to sleep alone.”

“Oh.” Liu Shuai clapped the table excitedly. “Hao Ning, why do you have something to fear since you did all things even including meeting, fighting against and insulting the immortal? ”

“Bullshit! I am not afraid to fight against the immortal. ” Hao Ning had his porridge and frowned. “The immortal had his moral value and we fight against him in the front. Yi Pingzhi has so many tricks. He vanished after talking last night and Zhou Yuan could not find him. Don’t you see his extreme speed? If he wants to attack me secretly, what could I do? I can’t always use Lend Me Your Mana for the defense to stay up for whole night.”

“You are right.” Xiao Hong nodded and said seriously. “So, I will stay with you all day till you help me find a girlfriend—um, till we successfully go through the trouble.”

“…” Hao Ning looked at Xiao Hong without a word. He said, “I thought a lot last night. I am mainly concerned about the essence of thearchy and the azoth of thearchy since I know nothing about him. What do you know about him?”

“No,” Liu Shuai concentrated on having his steamed stuffed bun and said carelessly, “I did not offend anybody yesterday on purpose. I don’t care anything.”

“Ah—” Hao Ning felt very angry and threw chopsticks away. He cursed, “Are you out of your mind? What I did is to gain money to save Long Fei. Am I wrong? You are powerful, then you earn 100 million. All right?”

Back to the 100 million, Liu Shuai suddenly got an idea and asked excitedly, “brother Xiao Hong~”

Xiao Hong felt very embarrassed and the spoon fell on the ground by his naughty words. He frowned, “Behave yourself. Don’t be so naughty!”

“Hey, we got so much money yesterday. ” Liu Shuai did not care Xiao Hong’s reply and said, “Apart from the part used to save Long Fei, how much do we have?”

“I did not count. Maybe we’ve got about several million yuan.” Xiao Hong came back with a new spoon. “What’s the matter?”

“Oh, we are talking about the money discussed yesterday.” Liu Shuai added with a flattering smile, “with so much money left, how about we buy a car…”

“No way!” before Xiao Hong answered, Hao Ning disrupted impolitely with a cold voice. “That’s the money I earned, and you don’t get to spend it!”

“You!” Liu Shuai was about to show his power, but he thought Hao Ning was right. It was Hao Ning who earned the money. He said,” You have said that I can spend it before. Did you just change your mind?”

“You never care about my life.” Hao Ning felt even more angry. He was in danger while Liu Shuai was thinking about how to use the money. He stood and was about to leave, “I have my meal outside!”

“Ah, Liu Shuai, stop teasing him!” Zhou Yuan pulled Hao Ning back. “You know him, right? He is such a coward. He dares to fight back Avalokitesvara but he even can’t stay alone at home and felt extremely frightened even when he heard some strange sound. If you frighten him, maybe he would be insane soon.”

“Here you are!” Liu Shuai laughed and took out his mobile phone to show an app to Hao Ning. “This app was edited by me last night. If Yi Pingzhi appears within 50 kilometers, Zhou Yuan will sense his Spiritual Flying Bugs. We can trace him in the app and even see what he can see!”

“But do not see that the bugs see.” Zhou Yuan laughed. “That will cost my incenses. You must use it moderately—thanks to Liu Shuai, our great programmer, we can see colors by his adjustment! But with half an hour delay…”

“It is not enough for people to adjust the app by only one night…” Liu Shuai glared at Zhou Yuan and turned back to Hao Ning with a smile. “It will be better if I have a few more days to work on it.”

“You—” Hao Ning looked at the app and there was nothing on the screen, which means Yi Pingzhi was not near them. He felt touched. He knew Liu Shuai was so good at programming, but he only spent one night making this app. Liu Shuai must have spent a lot of time and energy. He felt sorry for his mean words, but he just could not speak it out.

“All right, take it easy.” Zhou Yuan added laughingly. “I have magic too. I know you are scared. So, I prepared something for you—” He took out a watch that looks like a normal Apple watch, like the one Liu Shuai sent to Zhang Quan.

“This is not a normal Apple watch. It can sense the smell of Yi Pingzhi.” Zhou Yuan explained, “If you take it, you can be taken to my virtualized reality when you are in danger and he will see a fake you. Thus, what he attacks is the fake you in phantom. It was the first time that I made this kind of app. The app could only be used for three or four times after my adjustment last night. If it is out of order, you can call me.”

Hao Ning at this moment had no idea about what to say. Those two people made fun of him. But last night they must have discussed the plan. Hao Ning felt hot in his chest and he lowered his head. “Sorry, I was so stupid to blame you guys.”

“It’s okay if you know your fault.” Liu Shuai continued to tease. “So, what are we going to do about the money?”

“You guys can take it as you want.” Hao Ning seemed to revive and became so generous about money. “If it is not enough for you, let’s play stone-gambling one more time.”

“Thanks, but no.” Xiao Hong saw them horse around but still cherished the relationship. He reminded, “You all saw the strange thing last night. I suggest that let’s stop and think of another way later. ”

“You are right,” Hao Ning nodded. “We still have a large number of money. Our main task is to find solutions to save Long Fei—”

“Na Mo E Mi Tuo Fo~Na Mo Mount Putuo~” Xiao Hong’s phone was ringing. He found it was Jienan. Xiao Hong felt strange that he had no more connections with Jienan. The number was told to him as they transferred their accounts yesterday. He answered the phone and said politely, “Jienan? You wake up so early. Come down to get something to eat.”

Xiao Hong answered the call with a smile. His face turned to be cold without a word after hearing Jienan’s words.

“What happened?” Liu Shuai had no idea what kind of words of Jienan could make Xiao Hong got so serious. “What happened to Zhang Dalong?”

“No.” Xiao Hong said and looked at the three people. “They found those players who play games for 24 hours continuously.”

“That’s good news!” Hao Ning clapped his hands and had a sip of porridge. “Why do they look for you rather than go to conduct the user talk?”

“They can’t do that. Five people were sent here this morning.” Xiao Hong frowned. “They all get treated in the opposite New Lake Health. But three of them died soon after they came to the hospital. The other two have no ability to talk. Their doctors said they would be dead today.”

“Such a coincidence?” Zhou Yuan said in a low voice. “Why do those people come here so fast as we come here and meet Zhang Dalong and Mr. Hu?”

“It’s not what you think.” Liu Shuai pondered a while and understood it. “I think those people have already got treated in other hospitals, but they didn’t get good effect. So, they come to this Chinese medicine hospital to have a try. It is just a coincidence that we come here too. Many people believe it must be feasible that one with incurable disease should be sent to the Chinese medicine hospital to get treated. ”

“We shall go to the hospital and have a check, ” Hao Ning wiped his mouth and stood, “We may not have the ability to help them.”

They crossed the road and found Jienan and Xiao Yun had already wait for them in front of the hospital. The hospital was large, and all modern facilities were well equipped, which was so different from the Chinese medicine hospital they had thought before.

Hao Ning posed his questions, and Xiao Yuan laughed. “Hao Ning, what do you think Chinese medicine hospital look like?”

“Um…” Hao Ning was shy and laughed. “I thought that it could be an old Chinese medicine doctor sitting in front of the hospital to do an inquiry to patients and then prescribe for their patients.”

“Many people believe that.” Xiao Yun did not laugh at Hao Ning’s ignorant words and smiled, “but grandpa believes that it is the Chinese medicine that should be inclusive and keep paces with the times. It should not follow the old treatment method but should be responsible for patients. Grandpa told me before that both Doctor Huatuo and the King of Medicine Sun Simiao, were pioneers in their time and spent their whole lives to find better method to save people. We, as the descendants of Chinese Medicine, should not be a conservative doctor too.”

“Grandpa Hu’s thoughts is new.” Hao Ning admired him from his heart. But he still had a question and added, “but if so, the Chinese medicine will be unlike Chinese medicine. Isn’t that weird?”

“Ha ha, you are funny. Chinese medicine has constantly developed for several thousand years, and it can’t be more like Chinese medicine.” Xiao Yun laughed when she heard Hao Ning’s words. “Before the invention of acupuncture, is there no Chinese medicine? Before the release of Qian Jin Prescriptions, is there no Chinese medicine? Absolutely NO! Chinese medicine is still Chinese medicine. When the acupuncture came out, if the Chinese medicine doctors refused to use it for it doesn’t belong to our traditional technology of Chinese medicine, so can we see the present acupuncture in Chinese medicine?”

“Eh…” Hao Ning got stunned by Xiao Yun’s words. She was right. Now the acupuncture was a method of treatment of the Chinese medicine. But at the beginning of invention of acupuncture, people at that time didn’t worry about if the acupuncture was used or if the Chinese medicine would be no longer the Chinese medicine after using the treatment of acupuncture?”

“What is Chinese medicine?” Zhou Yuan mumbled. “The Chinese medicine is like the Shel lop of Theseus. If several boat decks were transferred or removed, then the boat is the boat itself?”

“…” Hao Ning heard the Shellop of Theseus, and he remembered that this word was from the experiment of “Me Is Me or Not?” proposed by Zhou Yuan in Zhang Quan. But now he had no time to care Zhou Yuan thought about this issue. He asked Xiao Wen, “if so, what is on earth the Chinese medicine?”

“I have asked my grandpa, but he told me that,” Xiao Wen now slowed her pace and said seriously, “the so-called Chinese medicine, can be summarized as a sentence: Cure Disease and Save People with the Spirit of Benevolence. As to the issues of acupuncture, inquiry, and herbs, they are just the difference of methods and we should not focus on only one method. So, you can see that there are many modern and near western-like treatment methods. The combination of those two methods can gain more effective results.”

“Indeed!” Hao Ning looked at all kinds of facilities around and the surrounding doctors and patients. He praised, “grandpa Hu, though older than us, is very enlightened and open-minded. We, young people, feel deeply ashamed.”
