Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 248 Su He 1 When he has time, he studies medicine diligently

When Su He heard the story from his classmates, he was amazed that salt could be scraped directly off the wall. The classmates said that except for those who worked outside, the other families in their hometown were very poor. All they had all year round was salted vegetable porridge and two kinds of steamed buns, which were mostly corn flour with a small amount of white flour.

Vegetables mainly included cabbage, red and white radish, and peanuts were okay to grow. But peanuts were not considered food at that time, so most people did not grow more. Oil could not be pressed casually, and people's living standards were very low.

Su He thought about his past era. It was just that his parents had experienced hunger and poverty. He was just born in a relatively stable era in this country, and many people sacrificed themselves to buy them peace and happiness.

Su He came to this era and truly experienced hunger and poverty. This era is strange and difficult, but the home here is warm and the family is united.

They ran back and forth between home and town, the brothers did the same, Su He did the same, and whenever she had time, she would go to the master to learn medical skills. She always felt that in this era, besides making money, learning medicine was the most important. Making money could make the family rich, and learning medicine could ensure the health of the family. Nothing is better than having it yourself, otherwise you will regret not having it when you need it.

Doctor Jin saw Su He and asked her to sit down. He asked Su He questions carefully. Seeing that she answered seriously without hesitation, he answered immediately.

Doctor Jin said happily: "Su He is good. You have been studying hard recently. Keep going. I am optimistic about you!"

Su He said modestly: "I still need to work hard, thank you for the encouragement, Master."

Doctor Jin took Su He to feel the patient's pulse and diagnose the patient. He said to her, "Su He, no matter how many books you read, you need to feel the patient's pulse to understand the truth."

Su He studied with her master attentively, and took advantage of her free time to learn. She was like a sponge, absorbing water crazily. Whenever she had time, she would follow her brother and go with him. When her brother went to the academy to study, she would study in the medical clinic.

Doctor Meng was very pleased to see his apprentice working so hard. This apprentice was very smart and eager to learn, but he was too busy. Once he got busy, he would take a long time to finish his studies. He couldn't study with him like he did during this period.

Su He now helps villagers with minor illnesses. Last time, Li Xiaokui's grandmother had a stomachache, and Su He happened to see her. After taking her pulse, he prescribed a prescription using herbs from the mountain to cure her.

After this, everyone knew that Su He was now studying medicine with Doctor Jin from Huiyitang in the town, and that if they had any illness, they would come to see her first. Su He treated minor illnesses directly, using acupuncture if possible, and tried not to prescribe medicine. Su He did not take money from the villagers, and just regarded it as helping everyone.

Su He first practiced this acupuncture on pig skin, then on cork, and finally on himself. After countless times of practice, he finally passed Doctor Jin's assessment.

Now Su He can draw meridian maps with his eyes closed, and can find important acupuncture points without reading books. Su He now draws a meridian every day, hoping that he can memorize all the acupuncture points.

She now feels that when she sees a person, she sees meridians all over the body, without any superficial features, and directly sees those clear veins. Every day when she comes home, she takes the pulse of each of her family members and identifies the different pulse conditions.

Because of her concern, grandpa and grandma are getting better and better. If they feel something is wrong, she will give them a few injections. Even when her brothers are studying, she will feel their pulses and identify acupuncture points.

Su He thought that if she could learn profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, she would also fulfill her dream. Studying medicine has always been her deepest wish. Learning traditional Chinese medicine includes all kinds of knowledge. Diet, Zhou Yi, treatment, even astronomical phenomena, metaphysics are all included. It is an all-encompassing knowledge.

Su He met a good master here, who was willing to teach him wholeheartedly. He was still young and had plenty of time. As long as he worked hard, he would eventually learn. In the future, he could treat his family and friends and become a doctor who could help the world.
