When the four leaders and Yang Ping heard this, they all looked at Li Rui with different expressions. Some were surprised, some were suspicious, and some were suddenly enlightened.
Li Rui was slightly embarrassed by everyone's stares, but he still braced himself and asked Yang Ping, "Haven't you tried traditional Chinese medicine?" Yang Ping shook her head and said, "I haven't tried traditional Chinese medicine, but I've tried traditional Chinese medicine. It's useless!" Li Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's try traditional Chinese medicine. Anyway, there's no other way now. Let's try everything we can. Isn't the old Chinese medicine doctor who treated the secretary and secretary-general of the Sea City General Hospital very good? Why don't we ask him to come over and take Mr. Huang's pulse? "
As soon as he said this, Yang Ping suddenly felt that a new world had appeared in front of her eyes. For the first time, she realized that there were still other ways. There was still Chinese medicine, but Chinese medicine was good at treating chronic diseases. Would it be effective for an acute disease like Mr. Huang's?
Song Chaoyang's brows relaxed. He looked at Yang Ping and said, "Yes, Xiao Rui is right. We can still try traditional Chinese medicine. That old Chinese medicine doctor might be able to cure Mr. Huang. I have confidence in him."
Du Minsheng also nodded and said, "We can try. There's no other way anyway."
Zhang Keli and Liao Jinguang looked at each other. They also felt that this method was feasible and nodded to show their support.
Yang Ping made a decision. She took out her phone and said, "Okay, I'll ask the old man to come over and help."
While waiting for the old Chinese medicine doctor to arrive, Zhang Keli called Li Rui to the side and said apologetically, "Xiao Rui, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my son. Last time, he abused his power in your community and seriously disrupted the order of your residents' lives. He even insulted you. As his father, I feel that he was not strict enough, so …"
Li Rui did not expect this Chairman Zhang to be so broad-minded and know how to conduct himself. As a city leader, he apologized to him on behalf of his son. For a moment, he was touched and almost wanted to tell him about his wife's affair. Fortunately, he knew that trouble comes from the mouth. He quickly dismissed the idea and said, "Aiya, Chairman Zhang, you're flattering me. You don't have to do this at all. Last time, I was also in the wrong. Fortunately, your son and I are both young people. We are impulsive, but we don't have bad intentions. Once there was a conflict, it was resolved on the day itself. We can't hold a grudge overnight. Hehe, please don't take it to heart and forgive me for my impulsiveness."
Please forgive me for my impulsiveness. "Zhang Keli nodded secretly. He thought that this little guy was indeed outstanding since he was able to become the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee at such a young age. Compared to him, his good-for-nothing son was much worse in terms of temperament. And temperament determined a person's future. It seemed that this kid would have a bright future. He smiled and said," I'm relieved to hear that. I'll ask my son to hold a banquet to apologize to you. You're both young people, so it's a good opportunity to make friends. "
The two exchanged a few polite words and returned to Song Chaoyang and the others, waiting for the old Chinese doctor to arrive.
Twenty minutes later, the old Chinese doctor, accompanied by a deputy director of the Sea City General Hospital, hurried over. After arriving, he entered the bedroom and checked Elder Huang's pulse. Elder Huang's bodyguard narrated the entire process of Elder Huang's illness. Song Chaoyang and the others stayed in the living room to wait for the diagnosis results.
After another half an hour, just as Song Chaoyang and the others were getting impatient from waiting, the old Chinese doctor walked out with a worried expression. Song Chaoyang and the other leaders, Yang Ping, and Li Rui all gathered around and asked in unison, "How is it?"
The old Chinese doctor raised his head and looked around at everyone. Finally, he stared at Yang Ping's face and said, "President Yang, Elder Huang's illness is complicated. It's not just a simple cold or physical weakness. "First, he traveled a long way back to the country. After the long journey, he was physically and mentally exhausted. The cold entered his body and caused his initial symptoms of the cold. In the early stages of the cold, he didn't care and didn't take any medicine. He continued to travel and visit his old house and relatives." Perhaps he saw something inhuman and his emotions were tangled and blocked. Then, he developed a heart disease. His illness and his heart disease intertwined and caused him to be bedridden. "Moreover, he's already eighty years old. He's already an arrow at the end of its flight. With this illness, he can only become weaker and weaker. "Now, his Qi and blood are weak to a certain extent. It'll be too late if we don't treat him."
This explanation was reasonable and everyone nodded. Yang Ping asked, "Then, can his illness be treated?"
The old Chinese doctor said, "His illness is very rare. I've been practicing medicine for decades and have never come across a single case. However, if you ask me to come up with a prescription, I can barely come up with one. As for the effect, I can't guarantee it. However, I do have a prescription, but I don't know if you'd dare to use it. "
Yang Ping quickly asked, "What's the prescription? Tell us."
The old Chinese doctor said, "It's recorded in the Qing Palace Imperial Hospital's secret ointment pills and powder prescription. It's called 'Nine Flavors Soothing Pill'. The symptoms are very similar to Mr. Huang's. It's mainly used to treat the seven emotions and six desires, anger and frustration, depression, and damage to vitality. However, this is an old prescription and has never been used before. Therefore, I can't be sure if this medicine will work. However, in terms of pharmacology, it's similar. We can give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, it won't harm people. However, there's a problem … "
Song Chaoyang said, "What's the problem? Please tell us. As long as we can cure Mr. Huang, we'll solve any problem."
The old Chinese doctor said, "This Nine Flavors Soothing Pill requires nine relatively eccentric and evil medicinal herbs. Seven of them are easy to obtain since we have them in the pharmacy of Sea City General Hospital. However, two of them, 'Mountain Dubo', require live scorpions in the mountains. The other one, 'High Cliff Waterfall', requires water from a waterfall in the mountains. These two herbs are very difficult to obtain."
Li Rui's ears twitched when he heard this. He interrupted, "I can get Mountain Dubo, as much as you want. However, the High Cliff Waterfall … Uh, there aren't many rivers in Qingyang now. Where can we find a waterfall?"
Everyone looked at each other. Yes, the natural environment now was not the same as before. In the 1980s, there were rivers and waterfalls in the city. It was a beautiful landscape. However, in the city now, there was no other river with water except for the Fairy River, which was still struggling at death's door. As for the waterfalls in the mountains, it was impossible to even think about it. Even if one could see a waterfall occasionally, it was all pumped to the top of the mountain by scenic spots and then flowed down to attract tourists. However, the only prescription that could cure Elder Huang required waterfall water. What should they do?
Li Rui frowned when he saw that no one had an answer. He thought hard for a while and said to himself, "The Fairy River does have water, and the Fairy River originates in the northwest mountains. If we follow the river all the way up, can we find a waterfall?"
Du Minsheng shook his head and said, "The northwest mountains of Shuanghe County are in the inner foothills of the Taihang Mountains. It's full of primeval forests with high mountains and dense forests. There are also fierce animals like wolves and leopards living there. It's very dangerous. No one has ever been there. We can't risk it. Even if we go there, we may not be able to find a waterfall. "
Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "I've seen a nature exploration program broadcast by CCTV. They were looking for the source of a river. That river, like the Fairy River, also originates in the mountains. However, the source of the river doesn't form a surface river. It's all under the mountain vegetation. It's very likely that the Fairy River is in the same situation. Even if we send people there, we won't find anything. "
Hearing this, Li Rui sighed. It was not easy for him to think of a possibility, but it was rejected just like that. He was once again in a desperate situation, and it was a bit depressing. However, what they said made sense. At any time, one should not blindly probe unless they had at least fifty percent confidence.
Zhang Keli suddenly suggested, "There's no waterfall in Qingyang, but that doesn't mean there aren't any in other areas. There's a lot of water in the south. Can we ask for help from someone in the south … "Speaking of this, his face suddenly darkened. He shook his head with a wry smile and sighed," I'm taking it for granted. It's easy to talk about lips, but how can it be so easy to do it? "
Everyone else also sighed. Obviously, they didn't think his suggestion was a good idea.
At this time, the old Chinese medicine doctor suddenly said, "The reason why the high cliff waterfall was chosen for this prescription is because of the water quality of the waterfall. It rushes down quickly. If we use this water to make the pill, it can make the medicine run faster and better through the blood vessels in Mr. Huang's body. The intention is good, but Mr. Huang has been weak for a long time. He may not be able to withstand the impact. Therefore, I think we should modify it appropriately. We should change the waterfall to the middle section of the river. The middle section of the river is half slow and half fast. The combination of hardness and softness is better for Mr. Huang's health. Therefore, we can go directly to the Fairy River to get water. "
Although the others didn't know much about Chinese medicine, they nodded in agreement when they heard what he said. It seemed to make sense.
It would be too easy to get water from the Fairy River. Li Rui was overjoyed when he heard this. He said excitedly, "Okay, leave these two medicines to me. I'll go look for them immediately."
Yang Ping looked at everyone's reaction in a daze. As a Western medicine doctor, she couldn't accept such a mysterious Chinese medicine theory. She felt that it was a joke. Wasn't water the same? They had the same molecular formula. There was no difference between waterfall water and tap water. How could the waterfall water rush down quickly? Wouldn't it be the same if they moved the tap water to the top of the mountain and poured it down? What they said and did was simply nonsense. He wanted to object or even stop them, but when he saw the stern faces of Song Chaoyang and the other city leaders, he did not dare to speak. He thought to himself that he might as well just let them do whatever they want. He would just watch from the sidelines. It would be best if this prescription could cure Old Huang. If it could not, he would criticize it.
Du Minsheng stopped Li Rui and said, "Xiao Rui, don't rush. Where do you plan to find it?"
