She tilted her head slightly, looking directly at Doctor Su with a frank and firm gaze, and said bluntly: "Doctor Su, please forgive me for my intrusion. I just saw you treating a middle-aged man who claimed that he was weak due to excessive sexual intercourse. You prepared kidney-tonifying and qi-invigorating medicines such as Rehmannia glutinosa, Cornus officinalis, Chinese yam, Poria cocos, Cortex Moutan, Alisma orientalis, and Schisandra chinensis for him. These herbs are indeed top-grade. If he is simply suffering from kidney qi deficiency, these are undoubtedly the most appropriate choices."

When Doctor Su heard this, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. He was obviously looking forward to Su Yu's next words.

He leaned forward slightly, listened attentively, and waited for this seemingly ordinary woman to reveal some unknown medical secrets.

Su Yu continued, "However, I noticed that the middle-aged man's tongue was red with a white coating, and he mentioned that he often felt chest tightness during the conversation. Combining these symptoms, I think that his disease is not simply caused by excessive sexual indulgence, but rather a disease of paralysis. The treatment should focus on soothing the liver and relieving depression, and harmonizing yin and yang."

After hearing this, Doctor Su was dumbfounded. His eyes, which were full of traces of time, widened wide, as if he couldn't believe that this seemingly ordinary woman in front of him had such a deep understanding of medical skills.

Her words were clear and logical, impeccable, and she was definitely not talking nonsense.

He couldn't help but start to doubt himself. Was it really that his medical skills were lacking?

Seeing that Doctor Su was deeply introspective, Su Yu felt pity for him and said in a gentle voice, "Perhaps, because his condition involves personal privacy, the patient is ashamed to speak out, so he deliberately misled you. After all, no one wants to make their private matters public, especially in front of strangers."

"Yes, yes, it must be so!"

Doctor Su felt relieved and nodded repeatedly. The tension and confusion on his face gradually faded away, replaced by relief and gratitude.

"That guy refused to tell the truth and just made up a symptom. You can only prescribe medicine based on his description!"

However, Su Yu did not stop there. She changed the subject earnestly and said, "However, in medical consultation, the patient's main complaint is important, but observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation are equally indispensable. Every doctor should treat every case rigorously, observe carefully, and conduct a comprehensive analysis to make the most accurate diagnosis. I hope that Doctor Su will be more cautious and meticulous in the future. Don't blame me for saying too much today. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Su Yu bowed slightly, his manners dignified yet friendly, then turned around and left quickly.

The back figure appeared particularly tall and straight in the sunlight, with a kind of indifference and determination that transcended the world, which was very impressive.

Doctor Su looked at her receding figure with mixed feelings.

He whispered to Yuanfeng, the medicine boy beside him: "Yuanfeng, she...did she say that I was careless in my diagnosis and treatment?"

Yuanfeng thought for a moment, nodded, and said affirmatively: "That should be it!"

Doctor Su was shocked. He had been studying medicine since he was young, and it had been twenty to thirty years.

The master once praised him for his extraordinary talent, and everyone also praised his medical skills.

Since he opened his own clinic, he has earned the reputation of "bringing patients back to health" with his superb medical skills, and no one has ever accused him of carelessness or misdiagnosis.

Now, he was criticized by a seemingly young woman, which surprised him and deeply touched his heart.

He understood that this was a warning to himself and also an awakening of the original intention of a doctor, making him more deeply aware that no matter when and where, he must maintain a humble and respectful heart towards medical skills and patients.

Yuanfeng stared at his master Doctor Su's face, which was sometimes gloomy and sometimes confused, and was keenly aware of the pain and self-blame in his master's heart.

He patted the master's shoulder gently, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Master, you don't have to be too hard on yourself. Niu Dali is reckless and often disregards medical knowledge. He comes to us every few days and insists that he needs to replenish his kidney qi due to excessive sexual indulgence. He also doesn't allow you to ask about his condition in detail or diagnose his pulse. You can only prescribe medicine according to his requirements helplessly. It's not that you are not good at medicine, but that Niu Dali is stubborn and refuses to accept your professional guidance."

Hearing this, Doctor Su's eyes flashed with a complicated look. He sighed, as if sighing at the ignorance and blindness of the world: "Alas! Having said that, I know very well that as a doctor, I should take saving the dying and healing the wounded as my responsibility, and I should strive for excellence in the study of medical theory. That woman was able to see the cause of the disease at a glance. Her medical skills are admirable. On the other hand, I was led by the patient because of my lack of knowledge. It is really a shame for a doctor."

His words reveal deep self-examination and reflection.

"Yuanfeng," Doctor Su looked at his apprentice with a resolute gaze, "Go and get all my medical books. I want to review them again and make up for my shortcomings in medical skills. I can't let this happen again."

At the same time, Su Yu did not know that her unintentional good advice had deeply touched Doctor Su's heart like a spring breeze and rain, prompting him to pick up the medical classics again, study them carefully, and improve his medical skills.

As night falls quietly, the bustling market gradually calms down and people begin to pack up their stalls, preparing to end a day's hard work.

Su Yu walked through the crowd and hurriedly bought two steaming buns to fill his hungry stomach.

Two steamed buns with rich meat filling and fragrant smell only cost her four cents. She couldn't help but feel lucky. This way, the money in her hands seemed to be more abundant.

However, facing the only extremely precious red Ganoderma lucidum in his hand, Su Yu weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

The space in the backpack was already filled with all kinds of items. She also bought a few cakes that the children liked, imagining the joy that would sparkle in the bright eyes of her young Xier when she saw these desserts.

Everything was ready, Su Yu resolutely walked towards the exit of the market, silently praying that he could meet the kind-hearted Sister Xie here, and ask her to help bring the backpack back and give Jiang Ziling some messages.

Just as she was walking hurriedly, not far ahead, Uncle Li's ox cart suddenly came into view. The cart was packed with villagers returning home.

Xie Qifen caught a glimpse of Su Yu's figure, and immediately raised her arms, calling out enthusiastically: "Hey, Ziling's wife, come quickly, we are waiting for you!"

Hearing the voice, Su Yu quickly approached the ox cart, with a hint of doubt on his face: "Are you waiting for me?"

"Of course we should go together if we are going the same way. Let's get in the car."

Xie Qifen answered with a smile, her words full of sincerity and concern.

The villagers around also nodded in agreement with smiles on their faces, which formed a sharp contrast with their cold attitude towards Su Yu in the afternoon.

Su Yu nodded gratefully, took off the backpack, handed it to Xie Qifen, and explained in detail: "Sister, I have an urgent matter and need to go to the city. This backpack contains my things. Please help me give it to Ziling and tell him that I will be back tomorrow."
