Picturesque mountains and rivers of the motherland

Map of Shandong Province, Qufu Confucian Temple.

"It's said that we haven't seen each other in a day, like three autumns. We haven't seen each other for decades, right?" The young man in red sat on the whitened Lubi wall, dangling his feet.

Bai Ting raised his head and said helplessly, "Lu Bi, are you on strike again?"

The red-clothed boy pouted: "What do you mean by strike? It's so ugly. This young master is a reasonable fight for the vacation system. From now on, Lubi will implement a nine-to-five, two-week-off system for answering questions."

Bai Ting opened his mouth to say something, but the boy in red cut him off first: "Let me tell you, don't try to lie to me 996, you evil capitalist."

Bai Ting couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, it's up to you, do you want to arrange five insurances and one housing fund? Commercial insurance? Regular overseas travel? Company equity options?"

The boy in red snorted: "That's not necessary, it's not necessary." The boy tugged at the hem of his skirt and said a little arrogantly: "But you can come and see me often."

Bai Ting couldn't help laughing out loud, this may be one of the few joys in this period of perplexing days.

"Okay." Bai Ting agreed.

Satisfied, Lu Bi sat up straight and said, "Tell me what you want to ask me."

Bai Ting: "Before you told me that Xiao Hei's disease needs'"Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, just use butterfly spring water, boil in Erhai moon for three days and three nights, just swallow it. 'Is it right? "

The boy in red nodded.

Bai Ting hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Will there be any side effects?"

The young man in red stood up, raised his arms, swayed his body a few times, and said: "There are tears in the moon and pearls in the sea, and smoke in the warm sun in Lantian. This feeling can be regarded as a memory, but it was lost at that time."

Bai Ting shrugged: "What do you mean? I'm not interested in Li Shangyin's poems."

The young man in red jumped down from the wall and walked up to Bai Ting: "You are so smart, you should understand. The moon has its ups and downs, and people have their joys and sorrows. It is up to you to decide whether to leave or reunite."

After walking out of the Confucian Temple, Bai Ting was a little dazed.

He naturally understood Lubi's implication.

Life is like a dream, and the past is like smoke.If he helped Xiao Hei recover his memory, spending so many days together day and night would turn into a big dream.

Based on what he has learned about Lou Kaimo from all aspects, he speculates on the other party's temperament and behavior. This experience, if it is better, the other party will treat the past like the wind and forget each other, and if it is close, he will be shamed by the other party for life.

He remembered that yesterday, after Cheng Zhi gave Xiao Hei a complete physical examination, he told him that Xiao Hei was in good health and there was no problem with the equipment.

After Cheng Zhi knew that Hua Tuo was helping Xiao Hei, he expressed his desire to visit Hua Tuo, and Bai Ting agreed.

Hua Tuo told Cheng Zhi that he had cured Xiao Hei's illness to the extreme, and the others could only depend on God's fortune.

Cheng Zhi knew from the bottom of his heart that even a doctor who could treat the mentally handicapped said he could do nothing, and the possibility of Lou Kaimo's recovery was slim.

So last night, Cheng Zhi approached Bai Ting for a night chat. To be precise, it was Cheng Zhi's unilateral thoughts, and Bai Ting listened.

Cheng Zhi grew up wearing a pair of trousers with Lou Kaimo, and when they were young, they were chasing after each other and were on equal footing. When they entered the university campus, the other party soared into the sky and threw him thousands of miles away.

He talked about Lou Kaimo's family, Lou Kaimo's classmates, and Lou Kaimo's mortal enemy in the shopping mall. At the end, he covered his face and wept.

Bai Ting couldn't help blurting out at that time: "I may have a way to treat him." However, he swallowed the words in the end.

Yes, there are countless people who care about Lou Kaimo and need Lou Kaimo.

But what about Xiao Hei?

He needs black.

Returning Lou Kaimo to them would mean losing Xiao Hei.

The next day.

The "Intractable Diseases Research Conference" officially kicked off.

The procedure of the conference is very simple.Consultations during the day, and academic salons for doctors after evening.

All doctors will be divided into several large groups according to their areas of expertise, and within the large groups, they will be divided into several groups according to their like-mindedness.

After an extremely sensational opening ceremony, it directly entered the most real and most valued consultation stage.

As the person in charge of the venue, Bai Ting accompanied Tang Sheng, the person in charge of the conference.It was the first time he saw so many media pouring into Huaxia Star, and he couldn't help being a little speechless.

Bai Ting: "Good multimedia."

Tang Sheng sighed softly: "There were more in previous years, but now the influence of the conference among ordinary people is not as good as before. All you can see now is a burst of fart. In previous years, it was a pile of shit."

Bai Ting: ...I don't know metaphors, please don't use them!

Bai Ting held back his nausea and wanted to comfort Tang Sheng, but suddenly saw Tang Sheng's complexion suddenly changed, his entire face was like a sponge ball, expanding and compressing suddenly, and his facial features also distorted accordingly.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ting was puzzled.

Tang Sheng pointed to a figure in the crowd in the distance: "Bai Zhou!"

Bai Ting followed his gaze and saw a tall man in the crowd, wearing a knee-length gray elk leather windbreaker.

Bai Ting: "Who is it? A heinous serial killer? An interstellar pirate who commits crimes? A murderer who destroys humanity?"

Tang Sheng, who was originally panicked, twitched the corner of his mouth: "Boss Bai is really rich in association."

Later, Tang Sheng informed Bai Ting of the origin.

It turned out that the man who made Tang Sheng lose his soul was not the ruthless character Bai Ting had imagined. On the contrary, he was engaged in a profession of exposing crimes - a reporter.

Reporter Baizhou is quite influential in the federation. He used to go undercover alone to organizations that sell human organs, organizations that traffic children, and drug trafficking organizations with a tight protection network. He is highly respected and loved by the people of the federation.

Tang Sheng had lingering fears about it, because a few years ago, Bai Zhou had written a report on the "Research Conference on Difficult and Miscellaneous Diseases".The report is very objective, there are no fictitious figures, no intentional slander, but in the eyes of people who don't understand the field, the "congress" is very incompetent, and it is an opportunity to seek the people's admiration.This made the conference, which was already precarious and trying to revive it, suffer another serious blow.

Bai Ting patted Tang Sheng on the shoulder.

Tang Sheng hugged Bai Ting's arm violently: "Boss Bai, do me a favor, you help me find out, what is reporter Bai doing here again? Don't write any more reports, let me go, he just wants to experiment with mice , can you change a toss, don't just destroy the rat with a hot hand, always give some buffer period."

Bai Ting didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and comforted him, "According to the person you described as reporter Bai, I think you should communicate with him more, let the other party understand your suffering, and perhaps use your influence to argue for you."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Tang Sheng waved his hands hastily, with lingering fears towards Bai Zhou. "Don't stare at the meeting anymore. I'm grateful for your kindness. Boss Bai, please!"

After all, he ran away like oil on the soles of his feet.

Bai Ting shook his head, but when he saw Cheng Zhi and his group approaching in the distance, his expression sank instantly.

"Morning, Boss Bai." Wang Peng greeted with a smile.

Bai Ting glanced at Xiao Hei beside him, and asked Cheng Zhi, "Do you still need to check today?"

Cheng Zhi nodded: "I have found the best experts in the Federal Department of Psychiatry, and then I will conduct a joint consultation with Mr. Lou."

Bai Ting pursed his lips, and said for a long time, "Okay, Xiao Hei, please take care of me." Then, he took out a box of dragon beard candy from the storage container, like coaxing a child: "Xiao Hei, you go with them first. okay?"

Naturally, Xiao Hei was very reluctant, but he had no choice but to make a note of these people in his heart.

When the backs of several people disappeared from sight, Bai Ting suddenly felt lonely.There are crowds of people around him, but he feels that he is on a deserted island.

In order to get rid of this feeling of loneliness, Bai Ting walked a few steps quickly and came to Tang Sheng's "thorn in the side, thorn in the flesh".

"Is it Mr. Bai Zhou?" Bai Ting asked.

The elegant man seemed to be meditating, and after a while he woke up as if from a dream: "Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"I am the person in charge of Huaxia Star, and my name is Bai Ting." As he spoke, Bai Ting handed over the business card printed two days ago.

The elegant man glanced at it, smiled and accepted it.Obviously, although the other party is just a reporter, his influence is extraordinary. There are countless dignitaries and politicians who want to make friends with him. Bai Zhou has a lot of experience with the person in charge of a small planet like Bai Ting who wants to build relationships.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to return the business card, Bai Ting rubbed his hands together to cover up the embarrassment that his hands were empty.

"Reporter Baizhou is here to inspect the conference?" Bai Ting asked.

Bai Zhou was quite polite, answering every question: "Oh, no, I brought my sister to see a doctor."

It was only then that Bai Ting noticed that Bai Zhou was pushing a wheelchair in front of him, and sitting on the wheelchair was a handsome woman, whose facial features were six to seven points similar to Bai Zhou's, except that her face was pale and bloodless.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Variant Motor Neuron Disease."

Bai Ting nodded. He only knew that "Motor Neuron Disease" was commonly known as "Aging Frost Syndrome", which could be cured long ago in the federal era. As for the condition of this mutant disease, he was not very clear.

However, this did not prevent him from sending the information to Tang Sheng through the authenticator.

After Tang Sheng received the news, within 3 minutes, he appeared in front of the two with a friendly smile on his face.Knowing that the other party was not here to write a report, Tang Sheng felt much better, but he didn't dare to neglect.

"Reporter Bai, I'm Tang Sheng, the person in charge of the conference, do you remember?" Tang Sheng's pretendingly enthusiastic face was extremely awkward, and Bai Ting couldn't help but groan.

Bai Zhou: "Yes."

"Reporter Bai, don't say anything when you're here. I'll help you arrange it."

"No, I don't like being special."

The other party was obviously upright, and Tang Sheng was not reluctant, so he accompanied him in the queue and introduced the history of the conference and the medical miracles he created, hoping to impress reporter Bai and let the other party write an eloquent commendation article.

Seeing that his task was completed, Bai Ting stopped staying and turned to look for Xiao Hei.

Conference area.

Hua Tuo sat at the consultation table holding a notepad with yellowed edges and an old writing brush, swishing it like rain.

Every patient and family member who entered the consultation area couldn't help but look him up and down.Hua Tuo was really out of place among a group of doctors wearing the federal doctor's iconic silver robes and practicing grade badges on their chests.

A navy blue coat that has been washed white, a pair of black cloth shoes, and a huge gourd pinned to his waist.

Not only the patients, but the doctors in the consultation area also complained about it.

From the beginning of the opening ceremony of the conference, when this person appeared in the square of doctor representatives, the doctors were dumbfounded.There is no practice badge, no silver robes that symbolize the sacred profession, and even a little sloppy. Compared with a doctor, he looks more like an interstellar tramp.

Although after the opening ceremony, President Tang Sheng came to explain in person that Hua Tuo is a local miracle doctor in Huaxia Star. He has not passed the doctor's practice level yet, but he is quite capable. I hope to discuss with you more.The doctors agreed with a smile on the surface, but they labeled Hua Tuo a "charlatan" in their hearts.

Fortunately, Hua Tuo also counted as his duty. Except when he went to check on the patients during the consultation, he never said a word at other times, and he did not express his opinions boldly, or fiddled with the equipment at will.

While preparing for the next patient, several doctors in the consultation room were whispering or discussing the condition.

"The strange illness of that person just now is said to be affected by radiation from unknown stones during planetary archaeology?"

"Hey, judging by the physical condition, I'm afraid it can only last for three or four months."

"Look at that Hua Tuo, what is he talking to himself?"

"Ghost knows, I don't know what the person in charge of Tang Sheng thinks. Before the conference, his reputation was ruined by medical scammers, and now he has such people mixed in. It's really easy to do things with a strong background."

The person who was talking didn't turn down the volume, or they intended for Hua Tuo to hear.

Hua Tuo didn't know if he heard it or not, he turned his horn and didn't care.

The young man sitting next to Hua Tuo couldn't see it, and took the initiative to talk to him.

The young man's name is Ma Teng, and he is a young talent who has just been promoted to a senior doctor this year.Regardless of seniority ranking or practical experience, he is not qualified to participate in the conference, but his master is breaking through a major problem in the medical field these days, and he has already seen it, and he doesn't want to interrupt it, and he is the only one The direct disciple simply sent him to participate.

Ma Tengben is also regarded as the son of heaven's favorite, but he only has the status of a senior doctor with one star, and he is dimmed in front of a group of people with six stars and above.Hua Tuo was the only one who was more depressed than him in the audience, so Ma Teng felt a little bit of sympathy.

Ma Teng pushed Hua Tuo with his arm.

"What's wrong?" Hua Tuo raised his head from deep thought.

Ma Teng was speechless for a while, the other people's yin and yang were so strange, this person was still indifferent, I don't know if it was hard of hearing or big hearted.

Ma Teng: "After seeing so many cases, how do you feel?"

Hua Tuo: "It's novel! I haven't seen a single case before!"

Ma Teng said in his heart, he really came here to mess around. Although the patients just now were all intractable diseases, a few cases were quite representative. They were typical problems that had been researched and discussed many times by the medical profession. This person had never seen a single case. Pass.

Ma Teng said: "Yes, life is impermanent. If you suffer from such a strange disease, you can only hope for a medical miracle. After all, it may take several years or even hundreds of years to overcome a problem, and these patients cannot persist for such a long time. "

Hua Tuo shook his head: "Every change is inseparable from its origin, and it is not necessarily difficult to cure from the in-depth study of the five movements and six qi."

"Pfft."

The doctor who heard the conversation between the two couldn't help laughing out loud. This is not a lie, it is simply ignorant.

Ma Teng was also a little embarrassed, thinking that the other party, like him, came to study and discuss with a humble heart, but he didn't expect that he was an arrogant person, and his original compassion disappeared instantly.

The door of the consultation room was pushed open.

The doctors felt sorry for the new patients.The girl in the wheelchair was still very young, and she looked beautiful, but judging from her spirit, it was obvious that she had been ill for a long time.

The man who pushed the woman through the door looked familiar, and soon a doctor recognized him as Bai Zhou, the most prestigious reporter in the Federation, accompanied by President Tang.

Although doctors treat all life equally, the difference in social status still exists after all.Reporter Bai's influence is well known to everyone, if he can make a good impression on the other party, his future will be bright.

The atmosphere in the consultation room suddenly became warm.

All the instruments were running at high speed, and everyone showed their housekeeping skills.

After some busy work, everyone discussed the countermeasures together.

"Variant motor neuron disease." A full-star senior doctor sighed.

Bai Zhou nodded: "I took Bai Ying to the Central Star Hospital for a diagnosis before, and I also came to this conclusion."

All the doctors showed embarrassment.

Motor neuron disease has long been solved in the Federation, but this mutant motor neuron disease is still a major medical problem. It is common in people with extremely high mental abilities, and it is mainly manifested in the rapid atrophy of muscle tissue And mental strength rapidly expanded, eventually exceeding the limit of physical tolerance.

A middle-aged doctor talked eloquently: "Since the year before last, the ERA Research Institute where I work has been overcoming this difficulty. Now I have some ideas. I think it will take more than ten years to successfully develop and effectively inhibit the mutation movement." Drugs for neuronal disorders."

There was silence at the scene. According to the diagnosis, the girl's life cycle would not exceed three years.

"Perhaps, you can try the medicine to suppress mental power? Weaken the impact of mental power on the body?" An old man said.

"No, we have had clinical experiments. For patients with variant motor neuron disease, suppressing mental power will not slow down their muscle atrophy, and what's more, it will increase the speed of muscle loss of control." A middle-aged man retorted, out of rigor , It added: "However, we don't have many samples, and for the safety of his life, we stopped using psychoactive inhibitors immediately after we found the side effect."

Everyone talked again and again, but in the end they didn't come to a feasible conclusion.

From the beginning to the end, Bai Ying, the patient, and Bai Zhou, the family member of the patient, did not say a word.

Tang Sheng walked to Doctor Man Xing's side, and asked in a low voice: "Is there really no cure? Some relief is fine." Tang Sheng urgently wanted to prove the value of the conference to Bai Zhou.

Dr. Man Xing said "it remains to be observed", but the expression on his face was full of "not optimistic."

The consultation is over.

Bai Zhou pushed Bai Ying to the rest area, and Bai Ying, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Brother, I just saw someone eating 'mixed mountain vegetables', can you buy me a copy?"

Mixed mountain vegetables, the wild vegetables picked from Laoshan Mountain, are simply washed in white water, added with sauce, sesame and peanuts, and the taste is delicious.

Bai Zhou: "You're still sick, this untested food..."

Before Bai Zhou finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Ying: "Brother, people don't live to live long. What's the point of a life as light as water?"

Bai Zhou doted on Bai Ying since he was a child, and smiled: "Okay, just wait for me." He turned around and ran to the food supply area in Laoshan.

Bai Ying pushed the wheelchair to the window, feeling the breeze blowing on her face, carrying the fragrance of flowers and trees.

Suddenly, Bai Ying felt a person standing beside her. She turned her head and realized that it was the person in the consultation room who was very special in terms of dress and behavior.

Bai Ying suddenly became interested: "Are you a doctor too?"

Hua Tuo, who came out to breathe, fiddled with the gourd on his waist. Then he noticed the girl and realized that it was the patient who had been suffering from a long illness. He said softly, "Yes."

Every patient who is seriously ill is extremely precious in his eyes, the more bizarre the illness, the more precious. As for this girl, she is Ji Guang Kai Yu, a priceless treasure!

Bai Ying smiled, but she couldn't tell that this person had the aura of "saving lives and helping the wounded". "You didn't talk just now, what do you think of my illness?"

Hua Tuo: "It's very special and interesting."

Bai Ying was stunned. The last time she heard this sentence was when she was stopped by her senior to confess her love when she was a student. She asked the senior what do you like about me, and the senior said, "You are very special and very interesting."

Unexpectedly, some people now use these two words to describe the disease.

Bai Ying wasn't angry either, and continued to ask, "They're almost dead, why is it so special? Why is it so interesting?"

Hua Tuo: "Who says you're about to die? I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You take three courses of treatment, one course for half a month. I dare not say that the medicine will cure the disease. It will be fine if you get seven or eight points. Then, according to your physical condition after treatment, you will be prescribed medicine again."

Bai Ying couldn't help laughing out loud, she didn't ridicule her "outrageous words", but was attracted by Hua Tuo's radiant expression and confident tone.

Bai Ying's dream in life is to become a reporter who can expose the darkness and speak out for the people, just like her elder brother.It's a pity that her physical condition does not allow it. At first, she thought it was a poor foundation, but she never thought that it would develop into a serious illness.The reason for the serious illness was the mental strength she was once proud of.

All her life, she couldn't live freely.

"You are so powerful, why don't you prescribe me some medicine?" Bai Ying said.

Whenever she thinks about it afterwards, Bai Ying feels that she was deceived by lard at that moment, and she is also glad that she was deceived by lard.

Hua Tuo: "My medicinal materials are not here, why don't you go back to Huazu nunnery with me?"

Bai Ying thought for a while, nodded, sent a message to her brother to locate her, and left with Hua Tuo.

==

After half an hour.

Bai Zhou came back from the crowded food supply area and searched around the rest area, but Bai Ying was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh, reporter Bai, haven't you gone back to rest yet?" Tang Sheng walked around the various venues and saw Bai Zhou holding a box of mixed wild vegetables.

Bai Zhou asked eagerly, "Did you see my sister?"

Tang Sheng shook his head: "Will you go back to rest first?"

A family member of a patient in the rest area recognized Bai Zhou and said, "Just now there was an old man who pushed your sister away."

"Old man?"

"It seems to be a doctor too, but the one in a navy blue coat without a uniform."

Tang Sheng immediately realized that this kind of strangely dressed doctor, besides the Huaxia star doctor, could there be anyone else?

Bai Zhou seemed to think of something, and clicked on the authenticator.

Because he didn't want to be disturbed during the doctor's visit, Bai Zhou set the authenticator to do-not-disturb state, so as to prevent the daily snowflake-like short messages.

Bai Zhou found Bai Ying from a pile of unread messages.

[Bai Ying: Brother, Dr. Hua Tuo and I went to Hua Zuan, and he wants to prescribe medicine for me.You go back and rest first. 】

Tang Sheng also leaned over to take a look, and his face turned pale.

The two hurriedly took the aircraft to [Hua Zu Temple].

Along the way, Tang Sheng's mind was full of images of the liar doctor who killed people and the conference being criticized by thousands of people.The situation is even more serious now, the patient is Bai Zhou's younger sister!The most influential in the entire Federation, a report can make a company plummet and withdraw from the white boat of the market!

God is killing me!

Tang Sheng held back his tears and hurriedly sent a message to Bai Ting, hoping that he could come to the rescue.During these days, he had a lot of trust in this young man.

After sending the message, Tang Sheng clasped his hands in front of his chest and prayed to heaven: "I hope they are just having friendly exchanges between patients and doctors, and don't take medicine or do surgeries or anything like that."

However, when the two rushed to Huazu Nunnery, they saw the medicine stove in Cunzhenzhai was steaming, and Bai Ying was holding a bowl that had already bottomed out, and there was only a layer of black soup with medicine residue floating in the bowl. when juice.Tang Sheng knew that his prayer was not accepted by heaven.
