Chapter 210: Dream Chasers Must Have Dreams
Kidnapping people—this kind of work doesn’t require much skill, it’s all about boasting! You have to blow hard on whatever’s in each person’s heart and mind!
What is Tan Lin seeking? Looking at the young man, it’s obvious he loves dicine but is unfortunately unrecognized. Not because of suppression or exclusion by anyone, but purely because the bigger environnt causes him to be unnoticed.
If you want your child to beco a good doctor seen by the world, there’s no other way—you have to rely on practical experience! Practical experience ans treating more patients.
In the Capital, where doctors gather, and the Imperial dical Institute, there are plenty of skilled doctors. But there’s no room for Tan Lin to truly show his talents there. So we can simply go sowhere else.
Right here: Huzhou.
After the floods, countless people want to see a doctor. Doctors are far from enough; even treating common colds and headaches is good enough. Who cares whether Doctor Tan is young or not!
Wei Yu held Tan Lin’s hand as the two sat by the campfire, having a heart-to-heart talk.
Wei Yu: “Lord Tan, you must understand that the Imperial Court sending you to Huzhou shows great trust in you. Otherwise, why is the person accompanying you a Left Court Judge and not soone else? It’s precisely because of trust! Trust in the Left Court Judge, and also in you.”
Tan Lin felt touched.
Wei Yu: “Most people in this world are diocre. A wise person like you naturally understands that diocrity is a group of people without vision, right? And as people of great wisdom, why should we trouble ourselves because of diocre people? Hesitating when a decision is needed only burdens yourself.”
Tan Lin thought deeply.
Wei Yu: “Talented people are bound to be recognized. Look at
now, I noticed you at once, right? Of course, it’s not because I’m so insightful, but because you yourself possess the ability, making
see you. You have to be strong yourself to forge iron—you must not belittle yourself.”
Tan Lin looked down at himself and murmured, “My dical skills… really not bad?”
Wei Yu released his hand and smiled: “I don’t understand dicine, so whether your skills are good or not, you should have a clear sense yourself.”
Tan Lin lowered his head and fell silent.
Wei Yu glanced at him, observing his expression, roughly concluding that the boy had swallowed this bowl of spiritual chicken soup.
Good.
Since he swallowed it, now it’s ti to strike while the iron is hot and paint a dream… uh! I an talk ideals!
We are all dream chasers; we absolutely cannot be without ideals!
Wei Yu sat up straight: “Lord Tan, people say that a doctor has a benevolent heart. I believe the reason you joined the Imperial dical Institute was to improve your skills and save the people, right?”
Lord Tan was stunned, dumbfounded, and wanted to quickly deny it.
“No, I… I just…”
“Alright, Lord Tan, don’t say it. I understand!”
Wei Yu suddenly grabbed one of Tan Lin’s raised hands solemnly: “I understand your ambitions, Lord Tan! People spend their lives busy for fa, benefit, and survival. For you, so young to enter the Imperial dical Institute, surely your family has a heritage of dicine, right?”
“With such a heritage, don’t you have the heart to save the common people who suffer from illness, to spread dicine, and beco a great doctor praised by future generations? I don’t believe you don’t have this.”
So does Lord Tan have such a heart?
He does.
Or rather, he originally did not, but after Wei Yu’s words, Tan Lin now has it.
Staring at the solemn face of His Highness the Wise King, Tan Lin couldn’t help but recall learning dicine as a child with the elders at ho.
Learning dicine was very exhausting.
Reading, recognizing herbs, knowing their uses, studying diagnostic casebooks recorded by the elders… From his earliest mories, this was what he rembered doing day after day.
Was it painful? Annoying? Frustrating?
Actually, all yes.
The Tan family had been doctors for generations. Though the family wasn’t large, every mber seriously studied dicine.
A child is naturally mischievous. Young Tan Lin struggled, felt pain, and thought about giving up learning dicine, but in the end, he chose to persist.
Tan Lin had never asked the elders if their childhoods were like his; he only knew that as a fellow doctor, he was the one who studied the latest every day.
No one praised his genius; all he had were endless dical books.
In the past, Tan Lin didn’t understand and thought he was just not gifted, so when others finished class, he would continue studying. But now he vaguely understood.
—It’s not that he’s untalented and needs to study; it’s because he has extraordinary talent that he needs to study even more!
He had run away from ho in frustration before, but by accident entered the Imperial dical Institute. Initially, he only wanted to make a living by his dical skills, but ironically, he really did just make a living…
Despite his dical skills, no one trusted him.
Tan Lin once couldn’t see himself clearly, and in that environnt, it was natural to increasingly lose his sense of positioning.
But now.
Tan Lin’s heart had so faint and vague thoughts.
The Wise King continued speaking.
“…Lord Tan, as a doctor, you should understand how many people seek dical help, but doctors are few. Many die because they cannot be treated in ti. The victims of the disaster in Huzhou are such cases. If you don’t seize this opportunity now, you will regret it later with a guilty conscience…”
Tan Lin ca back to his senses, staring at him dazedly: “Then, what should I do?”
“Of course, use all your dical skills to treat the disaster victims!”
Wei Yu glanced at Tan Lin as if saying “You should be ashad.” “Do I need to teach you how to treat patients? You are the doctor, Lord Tan! I’m just an outsider. Rescuing the sick and spreading dicine falls on your shoulders, Lord Tan!”
With every ntion of saving the people and spreading dicine, Lord Tan’s already sowhat confused mind beca even muddier.
He nodded blankly, “Ah, right, I am a doctor. Indeed, the matter of treating the people should be entrusted to …but spreading dicine?!”
Suddenly realizing, Tan Lin felt sowhat troubled: “Your Highness, dical skills are a family tradition, and if I can’t get my elders’ consent, I’m afraid…”
“Oh, that’s simple.”
Wei Yu waved his hand casually and said lightly, “I have a lot of dical books, like The Complete Herbal, Redies for Minor Ailnts, and so on. I’m willing to provide them freely to the people. You only need to help get things started.”
Lord Tan: ?
Tan Lin fell silent.
His pupils trembled; he couldn’t help opening his mouth with a shy expression, “Um, Your Highness, may I borrow these books to take a look?”
Though he didn’t know what the contents were, just the title The Complete Herbal alone made him want to see!
