keep this doctor

- I must not show fear!

This thought flashed through Shen Ji's mind quickly, and he finally understood why some people in front would lose their composure and scream or vomit and be dragged down by the soldiers.

I've seen something scarier than this. The gang of bandits who robbed me on the way north were all killed before my eyes. You can't scare me!Shen Ji gritted his teeth as hard as he could, straightened his body, endured the discomfort and looked at it carefully, and replied calmly:

"Left hand!"

The examiner questioned with a concerned expression: "Oh? Isn't it? Are you sure?"

Shen Ji kept staring at the severed hand, and after hearing the examiner's coaxing question, he immediately looked directly at the other side and answered with a firmer tone:

"It's the left hand!"

However, the moment he raised his head, he discovered an interesting thing, which he didn't notice just now because he was too shocked—the young examiner in front of him frowned slightly, evaded sideways, and covered his nose with his sleeve not so obviously.

Hahaha, I'm upwind and you're downwind, hahaha no wonder I don't even smell the rotten stench!Who asked you to come here to scare people...

This subtle mirth and schadenfreude immediately made Shen Ji relax. He was overjoyed and danced, but his face could only be tense and he tried his best to hold back the smile—however, his eyes and the corners of his mouth betrayed him.

The examiner's ability to observe details is first-class, and he obviously understood Shen Ji's eyes and mood, but he is an open-minded person, and then said with a hearty smile: "Very good, little brother, go to the next table to have a look, he The stuff there is much better than mine."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Ji twitched the corners of his mouth to express his thanks and left. When he arrived at the next table, the smile on his face hadn't completely faded away.

The second examiner was older, with a serious and expressionless face.There was also a tray on his table covered with a white cloth. Seeing that Shen Ji hadn't stopped when he came over, he lifted the white cloth and said impatiently:

"I count dozens, you find out the hyoid bone!" After finishing speaking, he started counting by himself.

"nineteen……"

Cold sweat broke out on Shen Ji's forehead, and he quickly rummaged through the plate of bones of different sizes, colors and smells, and finally found the hyoid bone when the examiner burst out "two".There are not many bones in the tray, as long as you stay calm and don't be afraid, you can find them quickly-of course, you must first know what the hyoid bone looks like.At this time, Shen Ji was very grateful that he had learned acupuncture from Dr. Dongfang Yan with all his heart, and he had to poke the needle every day on the lifelike model of human bones, tendons, and acupoints in Renjitang.

"Okay, let's move on." The examiner threw the hyoid bone back into the tray without raising his head, and covered the white cloth back.

In the next two tables, Shen Ji first distinguished Guan Mutong and Chuan Mutong, Huai Niu Xi and Chuan Achyranthes; then he recited a short section of "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" and "Nei Jing" as required, and finally turned to the one on the left. Six desks.

——It really is difficult. Fortunately, I have read more medical books since I was a child, and I have learned a lot as an apprentice in Renjitang, otherwise I would have been dragged down today.Shen Ji's heart was heavy and apprehensive, he didn't know what kind of test would be next.

"What's your name, kid?" It was the group of examiners on the left who spoke, and the first chubby old man with white beard on the right.

Compared with the young examiners on the right, the obviously senior doctors on the left look much more relaxed - instead of trays covered with white cloth, there are teacups and fried fruit snacks on their desks. The old man was looking at Shen Ji with a smile.

"Back to the seniors, the junior is called Shen Ji."

"Oh, don't be so cautious. Being able to come here shows that you still have some roots."

"Don't dare to be, the junior only knows the superficial." Shen Ji stood stiffly, his whole body on guard, lest some doctor suddenly throw out a severed arm and stump for him to identify.

"Well... how about this, you go to the T-shaped room, there is a barbarian who broke his hand, you go and have a look, and give me a prescription later, and you are limited to come back within a stick of incense."

As soon as the fat doctor finished speaking, the young man in green robe who was standing beside him quickly picked up a short sandalwood, and then led Shen Ji to walk behind the screen.

Shen Ji wished to see his patient right away, but the young man who had no choice but to lead the way walked slowly and talked too much, and right now he was complaining sadly and dejectedly:

"Hey, you people don't know, what's so good about being an apprentice in a medical account? I have been in it for more than two years, and I have tasted all kinds of ups and downs... The monthly money is said to be one or two, but in fact it was deducted by the master. It’s only two bucks! Two bucks is considered a conscientious master... It’s said to be giving out clothes, but in fact it’s only for a year, just to make you look, and those who won’t even be seen in the future, oh well ..."

Shen Ji: "...".He didn't dare to talk to me, and said to himself that I don't even have two dollars a month, and it's not unusual for me to be an apprentice with a lot of money for the master.

The young man in green went on to say: "...Hmph, it's really deceiving! I work until midnight every day, and I have to get up early the next day to cook for the old man. He can cook a small stove by himself, but he doesn't give a bite to the apprentice. It's stingy. I can't do it... It's winter, ask me to wash his clothes and boil his bath water! I came to study medicine and not to be a current person for him, oh, I regret it, I regret it..."

Shen Ji: "...".He firmly remembered Sun An's advice, and never talked too much.But he was also madly amazed in his heart: Really?It turns out that being an apprentice in a medical account is so hard and so pitiful?

After a short distance, the young man in green shirt complained a lot to Shen Ji with great hatred and righteous indignation, looking frustrated, unhappy and unhappy.Until he stood in front of the T-shaped room door, he told Shen Ji again:

"We hit it off, bro, let me tell you, the fat old man just now looks easy to talk, but he is actually the most conceited person, and he can't tolerate the slightest disobedience from others. He who knows the current affairs is a hero." After finishing speaking, he turned and went back.

Shen Ji took a closer look at the T-sized room: it was actually a small compartment with only a table inside, on which were placed pens, inks, papers and inkstones; and then there was a low couch, on which lay a man in military attire, Unusually tall and strong, he was staring at Shen Ji with a hostile expression, and immediately asked:

"who are you?"

"Brother, hello, I'm here to show you how to prescribe—"

Shen Ji's words with a smile on his face were immediately interrupted by the soldier: "Call Wang Tong, old man Wang, I broke my hand and it hurts like hell, old man Wang came over to take a look and then walked away, I've been lying down for a long time... Humph, I just can't stand your medical bills, you'll be fooling around, just eat and don't work!"

The corners of Shen Ji's mouth twitched, and then he smiled again and said, "Don't worry, big brother, it was Doctor Wang who asked me to come over. The old man asked me to come over and look at your hands first. Doctor Wang will be unable to leave for a while, and he is recruiting apprentices. Woolen cloth."

The strong soldier was holding his left arm with his right hand, looking painful and anxious, he said impatiently and viciously:

"Why don't you hurry up? Why did Old Man Wang call someone like you over? It's a waste of my time. If you don't look good, I'll break your arm!"

Isn't the saying that when you reach out, you don't hit a smiling face?It seems that it won't work with this big brother... Shen Ji thought gloomily, being scolded and belittled again and again, the smile on his face could hardly hold back.Sneaking out a breath, thinking of his goal, he still calmed down and began to check the small left arm of the patient.

Huh?not broken?

Shen Ji frowned slightly, and touched it again earnestly - still didn't find where it was broken.

"Brother, can you tell me about the injury process?" Shen Ji became a little confused, and his attitude became more serious.

"What's there to say? You put your hands in front of your eyes, don't you know? You won't hurry back and call someone who understands over, don't put on an air of embarrassment." Junhan stared, looking extremely angry.

The corners of Shen Ji's mouth twitched, and at the same time he heard the sound of yelling and driving away from the room, all of them were arrogant, domineering and rude, Shen Ji began to suspect: You lied to me?

Suspicious, he began to seriously look at the "patient" in front of him again—although at first glance he was indeed pale, sweating, and painful when he held his arm from time to time, but there were still flaws in careful observation: If he really broke his hand, and if he was really as grumpy as he appeared, then he should be trembling uncontrollably instead of this natural and calm trembling, and he would not respond to my face I'm a novice, and I won't let me start checking.

Hehehe, big brother, you're really pretending.

Shen Ji asked this and that with concern as usual, even took off the patient's shirt, carefully touched every inch of bone in both arms, and checked the other bones by the way.Sure enough, although the patient still yelled and was unwilling, he never left, and finally cooperated with the doctor's examination.

"You bastard with no hair yet, have you figured out a way to heal Lao Tzu's hand? Tell you, if you dare to fool Lao Tzu, you will be beaten all over the place!" In order to match his vicious and loud voice In the end, the soldier even got up and kicked over the low couch.

Shen Ji was worried that time was running out, and when he was writing the prescription quickly, he was startled by the sound coming from behind. He looked back and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Oh, you bastard, you still dare to laugh at me? I, I, I..." The soldier man was in a hurry, his tall body wandered around in the small room, trying to find something else to intimidate him. A sinking season.

alright!Shen Ji blew on the prescription a few times in satisfaction, and when he was about to leave, he turned his head and smiled slyly:

"Ahem, brother, what you were covering at the beginning was an inch above the wrist of your left hand, but now you have moved it up at least three inches..." After finishing speaking, he ran away without looking back.

"Uh, ouch, it's revealed." The soldier was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly moved his right hand down a little bit. After looking up at the back of Shen Ji leaving quickly, he couldn't help but laugh.

Panting, Shen Ji ran back to the high platform, and immediately went to look at the sandalwood first - fortunately, he caught up with it, and then he respectfully offered the prescription with both hands.

Fat doctor Wang Tong drooped the corner of his mouth, stretched out two fingers to take the prescription, glanced at it casually, and then flew into a rage:

"The old man said, the patient broke his hand. What kind of prescription did you prescribe? Huh?"

Shen Ji answered honestly: "Senior, the patient didn't break his hand. This junior checked carefully, and he didn't have any broken bones. He just has a bad temper and internal anger, so this junior prescribed Jingxin Soothing Soup for him—"

Wang Tong rubbed the prescription, threw it on the ground, and said indifferently: "I thought you were a good person at first, but I didn't expect you to be so self-righteous and self-assertive. The patient who has been examined by the old man himself doesn't care whether his hand is broken or not." Not coming out? You go, the medical account does not accept apprentices like you."

A large bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and his heart was immediately soaked.

Shen Ji first watched the fat doctor throw away the prescription he had written with difficulty concealing his anger, then sighed in disappointment and frustration, suppressed his sadness, bent slightly towards the examiners present, turned around with heavy steps, and prepared to step off the stage and leave .

At this time, the doctors behind him had just picked up the teacup with great interest and were about to listen to an argument, but they saw that Shen Ji was really about to leave——
