Chapter Seventeen: The Five Animals' Play

  "Haha, congratulations, you've come at just the right time. Dr. Wang is on duty today." Qian Senhu said with a smile.

  "Oh! Really? That's great, I have a lot of questions to ask him. Where is he? Has he gone on his rounds?" Lin Xueyan said excitedly, turning her head to look around the office and asking strangely.

  "Hehe, I'm Wang Zhi. What's your problem?" Looking at Qian Senhu having fun teasing Lin Xueyan, Wang Zhi couldn't stay silent anymore and said with a smile.

  "What? You're Dr. Wang? So young." Upon hearing Wang Zhi's words, Lin Xueyan's beautiful big eyes widened even more, her face full of disbelief.

  For this kind of thing, Wang Zhi has encountered quite a few in the past few days. He shrugged casually and said seriously: "Genuine."

  "Ah! Really." Lin Xueyan still had some doubts at this time, turned her head to look at Qian Senhu for a moment, saw Qian Senhu nodding seriously, and then believed it a little, and said with some embarrassment: "Can we go out and talk?"

  "Of course." Wang Zhi smiled casually, stood up, and handed over to Qian Senhu, then walked out.

  Actually, Lin Xueyan also has a great interest in traditional Chinese medicine. During her time in the pharmacy department, she enjoyed studying and analyzing the prescriptions written by doctors. In recent days, she had been constantly looking at Wang Zhi's prescriptions and was inspired by them, so she wanted to ask Wang Zhi some questions, but didn't expect him to be so young.

  Two people sat down casually in the corridor outside the internal medicine department, and Lin Xueyan also asked Wang Zhi about her own doubts in her heart, such as the situation where many common medicines replaced precious medicinal materials in Wang Zhi's prescriptions, how these medicines were matched, and so on.

  Regarding Lin Xueyan's question, Wang Zhi also answered seriously and explained in detail. The two people chatted for more than an hour, and the more they talked, the more they hit it off.

  Lin Xueyan admired Wang Zhi's erudition and gradually began to ask for his advice on some puzzles in traditional Chinese medicine, while Wang Zhi also found that Lin Xueyan was exceptionally intelligent and had a good talent for TCM, often able to induce three from one.

  "Dr. Wang, you said that in traditional Chinese medicine, various diseases are divided into two categories, which two categories are they?" Lin Xueyan asked again after just listening to Wang Zhi's analysis of a disease, at this time Wang Zhi had become a synonym for omniscience in Lin Xueyan's eyes.

  "Hehe." Wang Zhi smiled lightly and said: "Actually, this problem has been explained in Zhang Zhongjing's 'Shang Han Za Bing Lun'."

  "In traditional Chinese medicine, yang energy is the foundation of all things in the human body and the driving force behind life. Without yang energy, there would be no life. However, when cold energy invades, it can damage or destroy the body's yang energy, leading to various diseases. To treat these diseases, one must analyze the reasons for the invasion of cold energy and its process, and then eliminate the cold energy to achieve therapeutic purposes. Therefore, in traditional Chinese medicine, human diseases are classified into two categories: external contraction and internal injury, based on whether or not there is fever. Those without fever belong to miscellaneous diseases; those characterized by fever belong to...". Wang Zhi talked incessantly, listing many cases for Lin Xueyan's reference.

  The two of them chatted and forgot about the time, until Qian Senhu came to call Wang Zhi for a patient examination. The two reluctantly bid farewell, with a strong feeling of reluctance to part ways.

  "Dr. Wang, how was your conversation with Dr. Lin?" Qian Senhu asked with a strange smile as he saw Lin Xueyan walking away.

  "It's okay, Lin Xueyan is quite clever and has great potential." Wang Zhi nodded seriously for a moment without catching the underlying tone in Qian Senhu's words.

  "Well, you'd better work hard then. Dr. Lin is the number one beauty in our hospital center." Qian Senhu said with a smile.

  Wang Zhi took a look at Qian Senhu's unnatural smile and patted his shoulder, saying: "Young man, do you have feelings for her?"

  "Of course, there are ideas, but our hospital doesn't have many men who don't have ideas about her. However, she looks down on me, after all, Dr. Lin is the mayor's daughter. But you, Dr. Wang, are different, your medical skills are so superb, if you put in some effort, winning over a beauty shouldn't be a problem." Qian Senhu admitted frankly to Wang Zhi's teasing.

  "Mayor Lin's daughter." Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi was also slightly surprised. As far as he knew, there was only one Mayor with the surname Lin in Jianghuai City, which showed that Lin Xueyan's family was not ordinary either.

  Hanson and Qian Senhuo checked the house again, and before long it was 10 o'clock in the evening. Wang Zhi casually tidied up and went off duty.

  Before he knew it, Wang Zhi had been working at the Central Hospital for over a month. In this more than one month, Wang Zhi has cured many stubborn diseases of patients, and his reputation has also gradually increased with some patients' spread. The number of people who come to the hospital after hearing the news is also increasing, and many people even come to the hospital early in the morning to line up for Wang Zhi's appointment.

  For more than a month, Lin Xueyan also often came to Wang Zhi for advice on some issues, and the relationship between the two has been warming up.

  That day, Wang Zhi finished dealing with the patients who had come for registration and finally found some free time to go to ward 39.

  The old man in ward 39 has recovered quite well after a month of treatment by Wang Zhi and can now get out of bed and walk around. When Wang Zhi entered ward 39, the old man was exercising at the window.

  The old man saw Wang Zhi coming in and hurriedly smiled and welcomed him: "Doctor Wang, you've arrived."

  "Well, the old man is recovering well, and it seems that there's a great chance of him making a full recovery." Wang Zhi said with a smile after taking a glance at the old man's complexion.

  "This is all thanks to you, Doctor Wang." The old man was also very happy, originally thinking that he would be finished like this, but unexpectedly he could still recover, and his mood was extremely pleasant.

  As for the old man's praise, Wang Zhi didn't mind, and smiled slightly: "Old sir, come, let me check again."

  For Wang Zhi's request, the old man was very cooperative and hurriedly sat on the bed, stretching out his hand to Wang Zhi.

  The old man listened carefully to the pulse for a while, checked around and then stood up saying: "The old man has recovered very well. Now I'll teach you another set of health exercises. You practice every day and in another month you can be discharged from the hospital. When you go back home, practice slowly and come back for a follow-up check after some time."

  "Then thank you very much, Doctor Wang." The old man thanked again.

  "No need, it's a doctor's duty." Wang Zhi said while slowly moving in front of the window, reminding the old man to carefully remember his movements.

  Wang Zhi passed on to the old man none other than the Wuqinxi created by Hua Tuo, which consists of five movements imitating animals.

  In fact, the Wuqinxi of modern Hua Tuo is also very famous, it also has "Wuqin Exercise", "Wuqin Qigong" and "Bai Bu Han Xi" and other names, is a traditional Chinese fitness method, is one of the most widely spread and longest circulating fitness methods in Chinese folk.

  However, the Wuqinxi passed down by Wang Zituan to the elderly is the most perfect and original. He is a witness to the creation of Wuqinxi, naturally grasping its essence and quintessence.

  So Wang Zhi's performance of Wuqinxi is not like the modern external circulation, but rather a standard and elegant movement, with every action being extremely standardized, rhythm extremely beautiful, looking very vivid.

  Wang Zhi practiced while explaining the key points and effects of each movement to the old man. Where the old man didn't understand, Wang Zhi repeated his explanation, slowing down the movements again so that the old man could see more clearly.

  Just as Wang Zhi was explaining Wuqinxi to the old man, Department Director Li Xuanjie and that middle-aged man actually came in together.

  Wang Zhi was explaining something to an elderly person, both of whom were silent and quietly watching from the side.

  After a while, the middle-aged man was fine, but Li Xuanjie was infatuated.

  Wu Qin Xi Li Xuanjie still knows, and will practice, but does not have the kind of spiritual charm that Wang Zhi has performed, as if the entire set of movements lacks a soul.

  For more than a month, Li Xuanjie had seen Wang Zhi's incredible medical skills many times and was slowly getting used to it. He knew that this kid was a freak who couldn't be judged by conventional standards. However, seeing Wang Zhi practice the Five Animals Play still shocked him a bit. This set of movements seemed like something the kid had created himself, and there were even more moves that weren't in the traditional Five Animals Play, making it even more perfect and natural.
