"What? Not eating anything before going into the mountains to gather herbs? What does that an?"
Liu Zheng was also perplexed. Moreover, he had gathered herbs himself before, but why did it seem like everything had changed completely when it ca to him?
"Yes, it’s a habit I’ve developed over many years. Therefore, before going into the mountains to gather herbs, I clean my stomach and intestines so that I can better and more directly discern the properties of these herbs."
Hearing this, Liu Zheng felt shocked. He understood that fasting and cleaning his gut ant only one thing: he would personally taste the herbs with his mouth.
If there were other substances in the stomach, it might prevent the herbs from having the intended effect.
If that were truly the case, Liu Zheng had imnse respect for the old man’s spirit of sacrifice.
"In ancient tis, Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs. I never imagined that there still exist people like that today. Old man, you have my admiration."
"Hehe, it’s nothing worth ntioning. What’s there to admire? Liu Yang told that you’ve done such things too. Besides, those of us who practice dicine, to be honest, our own bodies are the best test subjects. Only by doing this can we more directly feel the subtle changes that the dicine causes in our bodies."
"Alright then, if that’s how the old man does it, I’ll join you tonight in not eating anything, to better clean my own intestines."
"You don’t need to do that. You’ve developed your own thods over the years, relying on your keen sense of sll. You’re different, so you should eat your al. Don’t worry about anything else."
Actually, at that ti, Liu Zheng began to feel hungry too. Having run back and forth all day, and to be honest, he hadn’t had a proper al, so he was truly feeling famished by now.
"Liu Yang, what about you? Aren’t you eating either?"
"I’m eating. It’s just Grandpa who has this habit, not ."
"Alright then, we’ll just eat sothing simple together later. Since that’s the case, I’ll prepare a big feast for you tomorrow to show my appreciation."
No sooner had Liu Zheng finished speaking than he saw soone dash into the clinic in a panic.
His face was covered with dust and dirt, and at first glance, Liu Zheng felt he didn’t recognize this person.
But given his frantic manner, it was likely that sothing had happened; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so agitated.
"Liu, Doctor Liu, hurry, co with , hurry."
Perhaps because he was tired from running, he was gasping for air as he spoke.
"Wait, co with you? Where to? Who are you? I don’t recall seeing you before. Are you not from this village? Has sothing happened?"
"The construction site, sothing has happened at the construction site, hurry and co with ."
"What? The construction site? Right, I’m on my way."
Upon hearing it was about the construction site, Liu Zheng felt a strong urgency, as within the whole village, the only place that would be called a construction site was where Liu Jiaxin currently worked.
He had just returned from the site, thinking everything was fine, only to learn of this sudden ergency.
"Master, I’ll go with you."
"Good, co with . Old man, I’m really sorry, but there is an ergency with a patient. Please wait here for a while, we’ll be back soon."
With just a quick apology, he hurriedly left with Liu Yang.
"What’s the situation? Did soone fall from a height, or is it so other kind of accident?"
"No, it’s Sister Jiaxin, sothing has happened to Jiaxin."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng was suddenly startled, then he imdiately stopped and grabbed the construction worker by the arm.
"What did you just say? Who did you say it was? Liu Jiaxin? What’s happened to Liu Jiaxin?"
"I’m not sure, they only said it was a sudden illness. Quick, co with ."
So, it turned out to be about Liu Jiaxin, not soone else.
Therefore, when Liu Zheng heard this, he furrowed his brow, especially Liu Yang, who dashed off toward the construction site as if propelled by a sprung coil, with Liu Zheng in hot pursuit.
The construction site was to the east, where a row of temporary offices had been built for foren and contractors, as well as for their rest during downti.
Just arriving outside, Liu Zheng saw the place surrounded by layers of onlookers, who seed to be peering into the room to see what was happening.
"Move aside, quick! The doctor is here!"
Soone shouted loudly, and when the crowd turned to see Liu Zheng, they parted to both sides, naturally clearing a path for him to rush to the rescue.
Following Liu Yang into the room, Liu Zheng saw the foreman and two others standing there dazed, while on the floor lay Liu Jiaxin.
She was unconscious and convulsing incessantly.
"Sister, sister, what’s wrong? Sister, what’s happened to you?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Yang imdiately rushed forward, knelt beside her, gently placed his hand on her neck to feel for a pulse, then looked back at Liu Zheng.
"Her breathing and pulse are normal, but these convulsions are usually only a symptom of epilepsy. However, judging by this, it doesn’t seem like epilepsy. Moreover, my sister has never had that condition since she was young."
"Right now, there’s no ti to think about that. What we need to do first is to stop her convulsions imdiately, as prolonged convulsions can cause severe damage to the nervous system. Everyone, give us so space!"
