Chapter 2362: Chapter 2175: Are You Here for Treatment? (2)
"Thank you." Song Xiaodong nodded to the kind young man.
A group of people sat down in the reception room.
The middle-aged couple consisted of a man named Zhang Guojian and a woman named Zhou Mei. The kind young man’s name was Sun Hailong, the haggard woman’s name was Zhang Jiajia, Sun Hailong and Zhang Jiajia were lovers, and the other girl named Fang Xiaoyu was Zhang Jiajia’s close friend. Zhang Jiajia was Zhang Guojian and Zhou Mei’s daughter, and they came this time to seek medical attention for Zhang Jiajia.
Li Wendao served tea to everyone, pouring the last cup for Song Xiaodong, but it only contained the remnants at the bottom.
"Master, do you know when Taoist Master Li will be available?" Zhou Mei couldn’t help asking Li Wendao.
"Probably in about half an hour. Taoist Master Li’s morning class is at a fixed time," Li Wendao replied.
Unexpectedly, just as Li Wendao finished speaking, another Taoist priest who looked almost identical to him walked in from the door.
Li Wenxin and Li Wendao were brothers, sent to this Taoist temple to be raised since childhood, and both became Taoists when they grew up.
"Senior brother, why is today’s morning class finished so quickly? Is it because this unruly fellow disturbed your peace?" Li Wendao said while pointing at Song Xiaodong with his finger.
Chapter 2176: Guests Arrive
"Little brother, when distinguished guests arrive, I naturally need to show up early!" Li Wenxin said to Li Wendao.
"Indeed, Mr. Zhang came from afar to visit early in the morning; it’s truly difficult," Li Wendao said.
"Little brother, I’m not referring to Mr. Zhang; I’m talking about this gentleman here!" Li Wenxin also pointed at Song Xiaodong.
"Him?"
"He’s just an ignorant tourist who climbed over the wall to get in!" Li Wendao said disdainfully, looking at Song Xiaodong.
"Little brother, take a closer look. What do you think of this person’s appearance?" Li Wenxin asked Li Wendao.
Li Wendao furrowed his brow and carefully examined Song Xiaodong’s face.
"Senior brother, I think this person looks sinister and untrustworthy," Li Wendao said to Li Wenxin.
"Little brother, there are three levels to judging a horse, and the art of understanding people is the same. You can’t just judge by appearance. Although this gentleman’s face is unrefined, his eyebrows reveal heroic spirit, signifying he harbors hidden talents. It’s said one can’t judge a person by their looks. Though this gentleman’s appearance is ordinary, his gaze is sharp and his wisdom is as deep as the ocean. He may very well have great achievements in the future. Observing his appearance closely shows he is definitely already a formidable figure. In business, he could amass a fortune; entering politics, he could rise through the ranks; if he cultivates, he could become an immortal ancestor, truly a rare talent. People like him are the distinguished guests of our Taoist temple. Don’t you agree, little brother?" Li Wenxin asked Li Wendao.
"Senior brother, forgive my cloudy vision, but I don’t see it," Li Wendao said to Li Wenxin.
"Little brother, don’t judge people only by their looks; don’t let it blind you!" Li Wenxin said to Li Wendao.
"Senior brother, your advice is correct," Li Wendao bowed to Li Wenxin.
"Alright, let’s get to the main issue. Where is the patient?" Li Wenxin asked Zhang Guojian.
"This is my daughter Zhang Jiajia. She has been saying her chest hurts like being pierced by needles for several days now. Although the hospital found nothing wrong, she has become emaciated and haggard, and her chest pain is unbearable at times. I can’t stand seeing my daughter suffer, so I came to seek help from Master Li. Please have a look." Zhang Guojian pulled Zhang Jiajia in front of Li Wenxin.
"Sit down, sit down." Li Wenxin saw Zhang Jiajia, who was so pale and thin she looked like a dried corpse, and immediately gestured for Zhang Guojian to let Zhang Jiajia sit down.
Song Xiaodong sat nearby, observing Zhang Jiajia with a furrowed brow as well.
"Miss, how long have you been like this?" Li Wenxin asked Zhang Guojian.
"It started the day before yesterday evening, which was four days ago. Miss went out with Little Jade and mentioned feeling chest discomfort. At night, she suddenly woke up in pain, which frightened us, and we took her to the hospital fearing it was a heart disease. But after a full examination, they found nothing wrong." Zhang Jiajia’s mother, Zhou Mei, said to Li Wenxin.
Li Wenxin stroked his white beard and asked Zhang Jiajia, "Miss, when you went out to play that day, did you encounter anything unusual?"
After a brief recollection, Zhang Jiajia said to Li Wenxin, "It was Friday night. I went out with Little Jade to watch a movie and eat hot pot, then we went home. I didn’t encounter anything special. It was particularly cold, and I felt as if I was freezing all over, thinking it was just a cold. But after coming home, I felt as if something was stabbing my heart painfully."
The Little Jade mentioned by Zhang Jiajia was her friend Fang Xiaoyu, who came with her this time.
Song Xiaodong’s expression grew increasingly serious upon hearing this.
Since the heart has few nerves that perceive pain, if the pain is severe, it indicates a severe heart disease. Heart muscle cells cannot regenerate, so heart damage is difficult to recover from on its own.
Therefore, if Zhang Jiajia feels unusual in her chest, it certainly means the problem is very serious.
However, the Western Medicine Doctor said there was no abnormality.
"Hmm, Miss, would you mind if I took your pulse?" Li Wenxin asked Zhang Jiajia.
