Healing Doctor

Chapter 716 A Beautiful Wife at Home, Even Hua Tuo Can't Cure Her

"I'll go with you to take a look." Ji Xiang also stood up.

Lu Gang didn't think anything of it, but Lin Jiu frowned.

This wasn't how Ji Xiang perceived him. Why did Dr. Ji Xiang seem different today? Something seemed off.

Lin Jiu couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it.

In the past, if the patient's diagnosis was clear, Ji Xiang definitely wouldn't have gone along. But today, Ji Xiang was being very "gossipy" and insisted on going to take a look.

Lin Jiu couldn't say whether to see the patient or the master.

Lin Jiuze followed him out, and Zhao Zhe looked around before finally joining Lin Jiuze to watch the excitement.

"Director Lu, what exactly does that so-called master do?" Ji Xiang asked.

"I don't know either. I've heard a lot about her from people," Lu Gang said. "Her mother is from Northeast China... cough cough cough, I can't say anything carelessly. Anyway, she later went to the capital and was treated as an honored guest by many people."

"But perhaps due to the accumulation of too many causes and effects, her mother passed away not long after arriving in the capital."

"Oh? What's your name? I'll ask you when I have time," Ji Xiang said.

Lu Gang turned his head to look at Ji Xiang, and seeing that he didn't seem to be just talking casually, he raised his hand to tie up a lock of his hair and sighed.

"Xiao Ji, stay away from these supernatural and bizarre things."

"Yes, I know. Actually, some things aren't supernatural or mystical, but rather things that current science hasn't yet understood," Ji Xiang said.

"However, it is said that both mother and daughter look like foxes."

"Oh?! There really are people like that!" Ji Xiang exclaimed in surprise.

"I can't say much. I'd rather believe the wrong person than offend these people." Lu Gang sighed. "By the way, I think we contacted her before our operating room started operations."

"What are you doing?" Ji Xiang asked.

Lu Gang shook his head and didn't talk about it. Instead, he changed the subject. "There's a legend that our Second Affiliated Hospital was rebuilt twenty years ago. The main gate was moved and now faces the back gate directly."

"Later, it was said that our old hospital director was always unsuccessful, so he asked his mother to take a look. His mother said that the feng shui of our hospital's front and back gates was not good, and the 'through-hall evil' was too strong. In addition, the hospital itself had a lot of evil energy, which had a great impact on the hospital."

Not only did it affect the old hospital director's luck, but it also affected the patients who were being treated at our hospital.

I thought about it, and it seems that medical malpractice incidents didn't occur around that time. I wonder if it was due to the "piercing wind" effect (a Feng Shui principle).

"And then what?" Ji Xiang listened with great interest.

"Later, they sealed off the back door that was directly opposite, and our hospital no longer had any back doors. But after that, the old director had a smooth career, and the new director was also good, so gradually everyone started to believe it."

"Is that so?" Ji Xiang said in a low voice.

"I asked around, and they said this kind of feng shui is called 'an arrow piercing the heart,' but as for whose heart it pierces, no one knows."

"Ugh, why am I telling you all this? It's all feudal superstition."

"The dean seems to believe it quite a bit," Ji Xiang joked.

Lu Gang's expression suddenly changed, as if he remembered something. He leaned close to Ji Xiang's ear and said, "It's hard to say whether it's good or bad. The old dean is an academic; he's always teaching at the medical school and enjoys it immensely."

"Later, he changed his ways after being shot in the heart, and got married again."

"?!"

Ji Xiang scratched his head.

"Once, when he was teaching a class, his wife came to see him. The students all thought she was the old dean's daughter, a recent college graduate. Who does she look like? Dilraba, you know?"

"Hehe, thank you for your hard work, Dean." Ji Xiang said with a smile.

"That's right, even Hua Tuo (a legendary Chinese physician) can't cure a beautiful wife," Lu Gang said. "The old director passed away before he was 70 after retiring, so it's hard to say it had nothing to do with his wife. But, as the old saying goes, 'To die under a peony flower'."

Lin Jiu listened from behind, feeling annoyed.

What kind of nonsense is this? From the "piercing hall evil spirit" and "arrow through the heart" to the saying "even Hua Tuo (a legendary Chinese physician) cannot cure a beautiful wife at home."

Ji Xiang seems to have started to act "unserious" lately, no longer the simple and sunny boy he used to be.

It is said that it is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature; a normal person's temperament and disposition will only change after a major event.

But Ji Xiang's temper changed so abruptly, without any warning.

Lin Jiu found it unacceptable.

Upon arriving at the neurology ward, the corridor was packed with people, including Director Bai.

"Director Bai, what brings you here?" Lu Gang greeted him with a broad smile.

Director Bai's face was extremely ugly, and he ignored Lu Gang.

Lu Gang seemed to have a natural fear of Director Bai. Ji Xiang understood this; he himself used the intimidation of a superior doctor.

But Director Bai's expression remained grim, and I really didn't know why.

Curious, Ji Xiang moved closer to Director Bai. He didn't speak, but simply observed quietly.

Although there were many people standing outside the door, everyone remained quiet, seemingly in awe of the people inside the ward.

It was quiet and looked quite strange.

Even when patients' family members who didn't know what they were doing passed by, they would subconsciously shut their mouths.

Faint sounds could be heard coming from inside the ward; sometimes it was a man speaking, sometimes a woman, as if they were having a meeting.

"Ugh."

Ji Xiang heard Director Bai sigh.

"Xiao Ji, what brings you here?" Director Bai asked.

"Just here to see what's going on."

Director Bai glanced at Ji Xiang, offering no comment.

It was only then that Ji Xiang began to vaguely realize that something was wrong.

Lang Ge's charm is so great that I've unknowingly led myself astray!

Ji Xiang thought of Shen Lang, and how he had mysteriously leaned close to his ear and said, "Do you know?"

Working with Shen Lang would probably be a lot more fun.

Ji Xiang felt a little regretful, wondering when Shen Lang would reappear in the Empathy section.

After waiting for 20 minutes, the door to the ward opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in a traditional Chinese jacket respectfully opened the door.

Then Ji Xiang saw the fox-faced woman that Lu Gang had mentioned come out.

She really looked like a fox. Ji Xiang looked her up and down and saw that she seemed a little tired and looked weary.

"Master, you've worked so hard," the patient's family member quickly said.

"It's nothing."

Ji Xiang stood against the wall, watching as Director Bai accompanied the fox-faced man away, and then watched Lu Gang go to communicate with the patient's family.

"What do you know!" the patient's family member retorted after Lu Gang finished speaking.

Ji Xiang had no idea how Lu Gang was going to break the deadlock. It seemed as if Shen Lang's soul resided within him, and he watched with great interest as Lu Gang solved the problem.

"You really don't know anything!" Lu Gang said disdainfully. "I just happened to have a clue when Master Xin was treating the patient. Are you sure it has nothing to do with Master Xin?"

The patient's family members were taken aback.

There were still some people criticizing Lu Gang, but his statement was irrefutable and logically sound.

Ji Xiang was completely impressed.

He knew Lu Gang didn't believe him and kept his distance. But when he used Master Xin's name to treat patients, he spoke with such confidence.

Awesome!

Ji Xiang mentally gave a thumbs up.
