The longed-for village system

Chapter 402 Return to the Village
After spending two days in Beijing, the four of them boarded a flight to Xishuangbanna. Liu Shishi and Ya Ya followed along because the hospital called to inform them that filming for their endorsement could begin, and as the endorsers, they naturally had to go and film as well.

Back at the Mushroom House, Chen Qing watched the three women pack their belongings while he went to the shed to drink tea and rest. At this moment, the system suddenly became active again.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the national strategic mission. You have provided your country with shadowless lithography technology that leads the world. You are rewarded with one designated skill and one random lottery draw."

Chen Qing was overjoyed when he heard the system notification. Considering everything, he hadn't lost out this time leaving the village! He had even gained a chance to win a random lottery. Good people really do get good rewards.

With three designated rewards and two random rewards, he only needs to refresh the random reward page once more to exchange for a high-level lottery chance. Then, if he gets lucky in one go, he'll become a cultivator.

After lunch, the four of them went to the hospital to talk with relevant personnel about the filming process. Dean Chen also accompanied them, which fully demonstrated the importance the hospital attached to them.

The three women were no strangers to the endorsement process. They knew all the procedures after hearing them only once. As with previous endorsements, they just needed to pose beautifully. The only difference was that there were a few short videos where they had to work with Chen Qing to treat patients. For them, acting was a simple matter.

Zhao Xiaogu had a special arrangement. Considering that she was currently pregnant, the hospital hoped that Zhao Xiaogu would make promotional posters for the obstetrics and gynecology department, and of course, Zhao Xiaogu did not refuse their arrangement.

After agreeing on the filming process and time, Chen Qing prepared to go to the inpatient department to treat the patients who had made appointments. After all, he had been away from the village for a week, and if he didn't go soon, the patients and their families would get anxious.

"Is Dr. Chen Qing going to the inpatient department to treat your patients now?" Dean Chen asked Chen Qing, noticing his excited expression.

"Yes! This time we've been away for quite a while. The earlier cases were fine, but the ones that came later were more seriously ill. We should take advantage of the time we still have to treat them so they won't have to worry."

Hearing Chen Qing's answer, the directors next to Dean Chen also became excited. They were all still fighting on the front line. Compared with the medical staff who were in administration, they were more eager to learn new technologies. Chen Qing's treatment techniques for various terminal illnesses were something that everyone wanted to learn.

"Dr. Chen Qing, I wonder if we could observe and learn from you in person? Please help us."

"please."

Chen Qing naturally wouldn't refuse these directors' requests for further study, and smiled as he nodded in response, "As long as it doesn't affect your work, I don't mind."

"Brother Chen, let's go shopping with them. Just call us when you're done." After saying this, Zhao Xiaogu and Chen Qing followed the hospital staff to check out the various departments of the hospital.

After the three women left, Chen Qing led a group of department heads toward the inpatient department, attracting considerable attention along the way.

"Brother Chen has already returned to the village? That's quite an impressive sight! A whole group of doctors are following behind him."

"Everyone else is followed by a group of interns, but our Brother Chen is followed by a group of chief physicians. Sure enough, Brother Chen's medical skills are extraordinary."

"What is the pinnacle of life? Our Brother Chen has reached the pinnacle of life. He has everything: money, status, fame, women, and health."

"Jealousy makes people withdrawn. If I could switch lives with Brother Chen, that would be perfect, even if it was just for one day."

Amidst the gazes and whispers of the crowd, Chen Qing arrived at the inpatient department. Naturally, he first visited several wards with more serious cases. The patients and their families showed joy upon seeing Chen Qing enter, with family members immediately standing up to greet him. "Dr. Chen Qing, you're back!"

The chief physicians following behind Chen Qing weren't jealous of the family's warm treatment. If it were them, they would have been even more enthusiastic. As for why they hadn't greeted them, they could understand; it wasn't them who were performing the treatment.

After politely responding to the family members, Chen Qing began to diagnose the patient. Although he had not received acupuncture treatment for a week, he looked alright overall thanks to the medication, and at least his condition had not worsened.

"Good, the medicine has started to take effect after the first acupuncture treatment. Now I will start the second treatment, and you will not feel any pain then."

"Really? Thank you, Brother Chen."

He never expected that he would actually survive. This past week has been the most profound for him. Although he still feels the torment of the illness at times, he is in a relatively comfortable state most of the time.

If he had any doubts before, he now completely trusts Chen Qing to cure his illness.

"No need to thank me. You should thank your parents, and also thank yourself for your perseverance, otherwise you wouldn't be here today to treat you."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he took out his acupuncture kit and prepared to begin administering the acupuncture. He then placed the first needle directly into the patient.

"What is the name of this acupoint I'm using? What is its function? What are the consequences of improper acupuncture?"

Since we're going to teach them, we can't just let them watch; we definitely need to provide some simple questions and explanations.

The group fell silent in response to Chen Qing's question. Although they had tried hard to memorize the human body acupuncture point chart during this period, there were simply too many and too complex acupuncture points. After a week, they could only memorize a few of the corresponding acupuncture points. Moreover, the acupuncture points that Chen Qing was using this time were not common acupuncture points.

"It's the Taichong acupoint, located at the second bone between the big toe and the index finger. Its main function is to clear liver fire and soothe emotions."

In the end, it was the people from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department who answered Chen Qing's question, since they had a much better understanding of acupoints than these Western medicine doctors.

"That's right. Massage can achieve the same effect as acupuncture, but it's not as effective as acupuncture. Similarly, acupuncture needles should be inserted diagonally from top to bottom, to a depth of about 0.5 centimeters."

Chen Qing didn't ask any more questions. He could tell that these people still didn't understand or were unfamiliar with acupuncture points. They only explained the acupuncture points, their functions, and the techniques when they inserted the needles.

The group of people behind him took out paper and pens and wrote down everything Chen Qing said, word for word. This was a rare opportunity for him to teach them personally, and they would regret it for the rest of their lives if they missed even a little bit.

This time, Chen Qing's treatment time was a bit longer than usual, since talking to this group of people would take some time. By the time he finished treating all the patients, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

After politely declining the invitation to dinner from Dean Chen and others, Chen Qing drove the three women back to the Mushroom House. The three women were exhausted after a busy day. After eating the dinner prepared by Sister Chen, Zhao Xiaogu went straight back to the house to wash up and rest, while Chen Qing moved a chair to the yard and lay down to enjoy the evening breeze.
