The patient was vomiting blood outside the hospital.
Xiao Qingshan did not step out of the door at all. It was as if he did not hear anything. No one else could do that.
Mi Xaing 'er had worked as a barefoot doctor before. When she saw the patient, she instinctively wanted to take care of her. She quickly walked over and said, "Family members, Dr. Xiao is not treating you. It's not a good idea for you to waste time here. She seems to be in the late stages of liver disease. There's a lot of bleeding in her digestive tract. I'm afraid it's not good to drag this on. Hurry to the hospital."
As soon as she finished speaking …
A cold snort was heard from the courtyard. "Who's shouting outside the door? Meddling in other people's business?"
Then, the door opened and a man strode out.
Mi Xaing 'er looked over and could not help but feel a little surprised.
She had heard a lot of rumors about Xiao Qingshan. In her heart, she thought that the other party was a person with white hair and a youthful complexion. She thought that the other party was a person who was aloof and arrogant.
However …
At this moment, she saw that it was not the case at all.
Xiao Qingshan looked to be in his fifties. He was tall and thin, and looked slightly frail. His clothes were also very simple. There were even patches on the lapels of his clothes. However, his palms were particularly eye-catching. His fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints. His nails were clean and full, and his skin was tender and smooth. Looking at his face, his complexion was fair, and his eyes were slanted upward. His lips were thin, and he looked a little cold.
Cold.
It was no wonder.
It was said that one's appearance was born from one's heart. Xiao Qingshan should be a capable person with a profound family background. However, because of historical reasons, he fell from the clouds to the mud. Not only could he not practice medicine, but he also had to face the earth with his back facing the sky. One could imagine how indignant he felt. It was inevitable that he was cynical about life.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he quickly looked at the blood on the ground and frowned. "This has dirtied my courtyard door. I'll have to clean it up later."
Ah …
Xiao Qingshan sounded like she was complaining. She did not sound like a calm Chinese medicine expert at all. Perhaps it was because she had been living outside for a long time and was forced to live a tough life, so she sounded like a commoner.
Bai Changxi interjected from the side. His attitude was casual. After all, he was Xiao Qingshan's "direct leader", so whatever he said was not overboard. "Lao Xiao, what time is it now? Don't say such useless things. Hurry up and treat him. Let's not talk about other things, but the blood he vomited is too terrifying."
Xiao Qingshan snorted. "I'm a doctor, not the King of Hell. Fate is determined by the heavens. When it's time for someone to leave, no one can stop them."
Before he could finish his words, Bai Changxi waved his hand and said, "Don't say anymore. I don't like to hear you blabber on and on. If you have the time, you can treat him no matter how serious his illness is. Besides, even if it's time for him to leave, he can't leave in front of your door."
Just by looking at the way the two of them spoke, it was clear that their relationship had reached the point where they didn't stand on ceremony. They were a bit like family.
Xiao Qingshan frowned. "Village Chief, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Changxi didn't wait for him to finish speaking and patted his chest. "Enough, enough. A hundred pairs of eyes are watching. I'm the one who forced you to treat him. If there's anyone in the higher-ups who can't get along with you, they can come to me. I'm just a poor peasant with a good family background. I'm not afraid of anything."
Xiao Qingshan stopped talking.
He glanced at the patient from the corner of his eye and saw that he didn't have any of the traditional Chinese medicine's "four ways of looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse". He walked over quickly, stretched out two fingers, and quickly patted the patient's back a few times. His technique was a little like the legendary acupuncture point sealing.
He only patted the patient a few times.
The patient's vomiting symptoms gradually stopped. She leaned on the armrest and gasped for air. As she hummed and coughed gently, some red mucus would occasionally flow out from the corner of her mouth.
When Mi Xaing 'er saw this, she didn't mind. She took out a white handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Then, she laid her flat on the wooden plank. "Lie flat."
Xiao Qingshan glared at her. His expression was stern, and he didn't smile. He really had the demeanor of a judge. "Young lady, you really like to poke your nose into other people's business."
Although he said that, he still instructed the patient. "Lie flat with a calm heart."
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her head slightly and didn't reply at all.
To be honest, she admired this "Magic Doctor Xiao" in her heart.
Once an expert made a move, one would know whether he was skilled or not.
In her previous life, Mi Xiang 'er grew up in a family of traditional Chinese medicine. She had never eaten pork, but she had seen a pig run. Just now, when she saw the other party's clean and neat technique, her heart was as clear as snow. This person was indeed capable. The title of Divine Doctor wasn't just for show.
She vaguely had an idea. There was no harm in having more skills. If she had the opportunity to learn medical skills from him, she would definitely benefit a lot.
The family members hurried over, nodded, and bowed. "Magic Doctor Xiao, we traveled dozens of miles to come here because of your reputation."
Xiao Qingshan put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. His voice wasn't loud, but his attitude was very firm. "I'm just a subordinate. If I don't treat patients, I'll say it. Even if you threaten me with a gun, I won't treat patients. It's useless no matter what you say."
He turned to face Bai Changxi. "Village Chief, let's go in."
Without saying another word, he strode into the courtyard and left the patient hanging outside.
Bai Changxi sighed. He was probably used to seeing Xiao Qingshan's "ruthless" attitude. He really didn't know what to do with him. He could only silently follow him into the house.
Mi Xaing 'er knew in her heart that doctors didn't treat illnesses. The patient in front of her was already in the late stage of liver disease. Perhaps it would be more practical to see a Western doctor.
She wasn't a meddlesome person. She helped her mother over the threshold and slowly walked into the Xiao family's house.
She looked up and saw that the courtyard wasn't big. There was a red brick house and a mud warehouse. That was all.
Xiao Qingshan was a little arrogant because of his talent. He was neither polite nor modest. He didn't let anyone into the house at all. He just sat on a rock in the courtyard and raised his eyebrows at the Tang Xiling. "Let's take the pulse here. Let's get this done quickly."
