Several street bullies left Wu Yugang's clinic, talking as they walked.
The mayor's son got angry when he heard what the people around him said, and he cursed in anger: "I am the king of the law here, I am the heaven here. Damn, this doctor is so difficult to deal with. When he touched my chin, my teeth fell out. I have never encountered such a thing."
The skinny monkey next to him came over to flatter him and said, "It looks scary enough, calm down."
The mayor's son said unhappily: "Are you scared now? I still have to find a way to deal with him!" The people around him nodded in agreement.
The people around the clinic gradually dispersed, and the room returned to calm.
At this time, Zhang Liang asked Wu Yugang: "Brother, just now when you grabbed that boy's chin, his tooth fell out. What method did you use to extract the tooth?"
Wu Yugang smiled and said, "This is called acupuncture anesthesia for tooth extraction."
Zhang Liang asked: "This looks amazing."
Wu Yuguang said: "Traditional Chinese medicine is amazing, and it has many amazing methods of anesthesia! There is acupuncture for local anesthesia, acupuncture for half the body and general anesthesia. Drug-based general anesthesia is used for surgical operations, and a lot of it has been lost!" Zhang Liang nodded in admiration and gave Wu Yuguang a look of admiration.
Wu Yugang said, "Now that we have settled down, I have some pictures of some common herbs in the surrounding mountains. You can learn from them. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the surrounding mountains to collect some herbs. We will keep some for ourselves and sell the rest to supplement our lives, which will also be good for you."
The clever Zhang Liang immediately understood Wu Yuguang's intention: "Knowing some herbs may be of great use to me in the future. Maybe I can make a living by selling herbs in the future!" Zhang Liang obediently did what Wu Yuguang arranged.
In a town of several hundred households, the rumor spread quickly. People were somewhat accepting of the new young doctor.
However, due to the obstruction of the mayor's son, few people come to Wu Yuguang.
Society is fickle and the rich don't take the lives of the poor seriously. How many people can really help the poor? Most people become inhuman because they are rich.
Wu Yuguang was very anxious because no one came to his clinic all day. It was not that he wanted people to get sick, but he saw that some sick people did not come to him.
Wu Yugang was also puzzled, why didn't people come! Taking advantage of the time when he was not busy, Zhang Liang was drying the herbs he had collected in the small yard.
Wu Yuguang said, "I'll go out for a walk and be back soon." Zhang Liang agreed.
When Wu Yuguang walked out of the clinic, he saw a suspicious person peeping at him from the alley nearby.
Wu Yugang finally understood: "So someone is doing this secretly. They want to drive us away and stop people from coming. It seems that it is really difficult for a powerful dragon to suppress a local snake! What should I do, leave or persist?" Wu Yugang pondered silently and walked out of the alley.
Those people laughed and said, "Just get out of here! You can't make it here!"
Wu Yugang ignored all this and walked towards the street. As he walked, he thought: "This society is too cruel. How can people be like this? Is it really as those people say that justice is hard to find? But where can I find it? It would be great if there was a god who could exorcise demons, kill corrupt officials and get rid of evil tyrants."
Before he knew it, Wu Yugang had walked out of the town. He didn't know how long he had been walking when he suddenly saw a small temple in the valley ahead. It didn't matter anyway, so Wu Yugang walked into the small temple.
This temple is not very big. It is located under the green pines and cypresses in the valley, and it looks particularly quiet.
Wu Yugang walked into the temple gate. There were three main halls, east and west wing rooms on the left and right, and a courtyard at the back of the larger one. The layout was very exquisite.
As Wu Yugang was watching, a middle-aged monk came over, put his hands together and said to Wu Yugang, "Donor, what can I do for you?"
Wu Yugang hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Nothing, I just came in to take a look!"
The monk looked at Wu Yuguang and said, "Donor, I see that you have an imposing manner, but there is a look of doubt between your brows. I guess you have encountered something!" Then he led Wu Yuguang into the main hall.
Wu Yugang lit incense, and the old monk said, "Would you like to ask for a fortune stick?" Then he handed the fortune stick tube to Wu Yugang.
Wu Yugang shook off a stick, and the old monk picked it up, looked at it and said, "Donor, this is not a good sign."
Wu Yugang asked, "What do you mean?"
The old monk said, "This is the Guanghui Saint King's Oracle, the thirteenth Oracle. The poem says: My heart is not yet determined to go, and my actions are not yet clear. The moon is covered by dark clouds."
Wu Yugang heard this and wondered, "That's right!" He then asked knowingly, "What does it mean?"
The old monk said, "That is to say, you don't know whether to go or stay, and whether you have a good future. It's like a bright moon covered by dark clouds. There is a beautiful goal ahead, but you can't make up your mind. It's a pity to hesitate like this, even if there is a beautiful scenery."
Wu Yugang asked: "Is there a solution?"
The old monk said: "You will never succeed if you are timid. If you are afraid of being pinched, you will die, and if you are afraid of being let go, you can only watch others become prosperous." Wu Yuguang nodded and thought silently.
At this time, the sky outside the hall was a little gloomy and it started to drizzle.
The old monk said, "It's raining, so you should take shelter from the rain before leaving. If you don't mind, it's almost lunch time, so it won't be too late for you to leave after you eat."
Wu Yugang had no choice but to say, "You're welcome!"
The old monk said, "Don't worry, benefactor. There are only me and my two little disciples in this temple." Then he led Wu Yuguang into the dining room in the back.
After dinner, the old monk and Wu Yuguang came to the old monk’s meditation room.
The old monk asked, "Where are you from, sir, and what do you do?"
Wu Yugang said: "My home is hundreds of miles away, and I came here to open a clinic and practice medicine."
The old monk said, "Oh! I've heard of you. Are you the new doctor in town?"
Wu Yugang said: "He just arrived recently, only a few days ago, right!"
The old monk said: "It can be seen from the donor's temperament that he is not an ordinary person."
Wu Yugang said modestly: "No way!"
The old monk said: "Although I don't ask about worldly affairs, I do know a little bit about them."
Wu Yugang asked in doubt: "You know this town."
The old monk said: "If you enter the world to practice and leave the mundane world, how can you not understand the mundane world?"
Wu Yugang asked: "Do you know the evil deeds of those people?"
The old monk said, "I have been here for so long. Although I am a monk, can I avoid contact with the secular world? There are people who harm lives everywhere, let alone here. The rich and unkind in the secular world are not something a monk should be involved in! However, I have also studied martial arts and medicine."
Wu Yugang asked anxiously: "Can we talk?" (To be continued)
