The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Su Zheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. Then he raised his head resolutely, looked directly at Doctor Yao with a firm gaze, and said, "Then please do it, old man."

Doctor Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the young man in front of him, and said with a hint of joking: "Young man, have you thought it through? This treatment is quite painful! Moreover, if it fails, the situation may be much worse than it is now."

Su Zheng's face was calm. After taking a deep breath, he answered without flinching, "You just said that there is still a 50% chance. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to give it a try. Even if I fail in the end, at least I have tried my best and I have no regrets. A little pain is nothing to me. How can a real man shrink back because of fear?"

Doctor Yao's eyes flashed with admiration. He nodded with satisfaction and looked at Su Zheng and said, "You are a sensible person. However, there is one thing I must make clear to you. If your injury could be treated in time, it would not be a big problem. But now it has been delayed for so long that it has begun to affect some surrounding tissues. Even if we try our best to treat it, your wound may still cause soreness and discomfort every time the weather changes drastically in the future. If you are unlucky and fail, the condition of your leg may be worse, and you may even have to rely on crutches to walk. So, have you really thought it through?"

Su Zheng showed a relieved smile on his face: "I have figured it out, please rest assured to treat me! No matter what the result is, I can accept it. Even if it is not successful in the end, I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Doctor Yao stroked his beard and said earnestly, "Since you have made up your mind, you should take a good rest in the next few days. I will prescribe some medicine for you later. Take it for three days first. After three days, I will go to the Su Mansion to see you in person. Considering the recovery of your leg after treatment, you will not be able to move around for at least three days, so it will be more convenient to treat you in your mansion."

Su Zheng was filled with gratitude and quickly bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Doctor Yao, for your help. I will never forget your kindness to me."

Doctor Yao laughed. "As a doctor, it is my duty to save the dying and the wounded. You don't need to thank me. Besides, I can't guarantee that your legs will be completely healed. It's too early to thank you now."

Su Zheng sighed softly and said with emotion: "I firmly believe that with your superb medical skills, you will be able to create a miracle. But if it really cannot come true...that is also the destined arrangement, and I will not have any regrets." His tone revealed a kind of indifference and relief.

Doctor Yao nodded, then quickly wrote down two prescriptions and handed them to Su Zheng, "Go get the medicine according to these two prescriptions. Take the first prescription for the first two days, and the second prescription on the third day. Three days later, I will prepare everything and go to see the patient. By then, please make sure the room is clean and tidy to prevent infection."

Su Zheng nodded in thanks. He took the prescription and read it carefully. He glanced at the two prescriptions and found that he knew several herbs on them. Some of them he had even picked in the mountains and sold in the town. He couldn't help but sigh that these seemingly ordinary mountain herbs actually had such magical effects and could even help his leg injury.

"Huh? Mr. Su also knows pharmacology?" Imperial Doctor Yao looked at Su Zheng with some curiosity, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Su Zheng realized that he had just unconsciously said what he was thinking, and he felt a little embarrassed. He quickly explained: "When I was young, my family fell into poverty and life was quite difficult. In order to support my family, I followed an old doctor in the town to learn how to identify some common herbs. Occasionally, I would go up the mountain to collect herbs and exchange them for some money to make a living, but after all, I only know a little bit, and I can't really say I am proficient. Now I show off in front of a genius doctor like you, which is really embarrassing." He spoke sincerely, with a humble attitude, and a little bit of fear.

Doctor Yao seemed to be interested and chuckled, "Oh? Then do you know what the effects of these two prescriptions are?"

Su Zheng looked thoughtful. After a slight hesitation, he answered uneasily, "Please allow me to tell you the truth, I don't recognize all of these herbs, but from what I can see, the first recipe contains safflower, peach kernel, Eucommia bark, Achyranthes bidentata, Dipsacus asper, etc., which should be used to promote blood circulation, dissipate blood stasis, reduce swelling, and enhance bone repair ability; and the second recipe contains Astragalus, Angelica, Codonopsis, Notopterygium, Clematis, etc., which may be used to replenish qi and blood and stretch muscles, bones and veins. I wonder if this is the right understanding for me? I hope you can give me some pointers."

Doctor Yao looked at Su Zheng in surprise, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He nodded slowly and said, "Well, not bad. Although you claim that your knowledge of these medicinal herbs is still insufficient, you can roughly guess their uses. It seems that you still have some talent! So, are you interested in learning pharmacology from me?"

Su Zheng was a little confused by the sudden proposal of Doctor Yao. He stood there for a while and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He thought to himself: This... this is too sudden! I just randomly guessed the purpose of the prescription, how come I was inexplicably invited to study pharmacology? What is going on?

Qingfeng had some understanding of Doctor Yao's character and knew that he was a man obsessed with medical skills. Unfortunately, the most talented daughter in their family was unlucky, while the talents of other children were relatively average. Doctor Yao had always been eager to recruit a disciple who would inherit his medical skills, but due to the example of Yao Xinyi, he had not been able to find a suitable successor for so many years. Therefore, whenever he met a young person with a little talent, he would be happy.

Seeing this, Qingfeng secretly pulled Su Lun and Su Zheng's sleeves, signaling them to answer quickly. The two came back to their senses, and Su Zheng said somewhat flattered: "Thank you very much for your kindness! If I have the opportunity to learn pharmacology from you, it will be a blessing for me to cultivate for several lifetimes. How could I not be willing? But I know that I am dull, and I hope you can give me more guidance and teach me."

"Haha, it's settled then!" Doctor Yao replied with a hearty laugh.
