Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1516 A New Colleague

Desert Gobi, Shenyue Valley.

In the middle reaches of the Shenyue River, there are 29 Gedada Bays, the temperature is minus degrees Celsius, and the river surface is more than four inches frozen. Under the ice, occasionally, a few purple-red fish swim by, their scales clearly visible, looking leisurely and contented.

A thin and skinny boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old, was curled up beside a bonfire, waiting for something. It was really cold!

The firewood was a little insufficient, and the ice layer was much thicker than I had imagined. Even after burning most of the firewood, it didn't melt much.

Keep adding firewood.

Seeing that the firewood was almost burned out, the ice suddenly exploded into many pieces. The boy slipped and almost fell into the ice cave.

The boy hurriedly crawled to a safe place. He did not seem panicked. His eyes were shining brightly as he stared at the ice cave...

Gold!

That’s right! Gold nugget!

It is shining with golden light, a cosmic trace left over from an alien planet. It does not need any smelting at all, you can get it with just your hands!
It’s worth the money!
The young man picked it up and found it weighed at least a pound!

God bless! Dad is finally saved!
Suddenly, it seemed as if the area was surrounded by gold diggers who were secretly spying on us. They all had daggers, pistols, whip ropes on their waists...

The boy was immediately frightened and looked around nervously.

……

An extremely clear dream!
It would flash in his dreams from time to time, and every time he woke up, Bian Mu felt like it was a real thing.

Later, Wu Fenglan gave him some information about the Cuiwei Mountain Gold Mine. The dream seemed to become more dramatic and real. Sometimes, Bian Mu even suspected that he had traveled through time in his dream...

Ever since he arrived in Lijin, Bian Mu had always lacked a sense of security deep down. Although he could fall asleep in less than 10 seconds late at night and most of the time he had only a deep sleep, Bian Mu knew in his heart that it was only because he was young and his internal breathing skills were gradually becoming more sophisticated.

Deep down, Bian Mu felt that his mentality was similar to that of the skinny and skinny boy in his dream. From time to time, a sense of crisis, as if he was walking on thin ice and trembling with fear, flashed through his mind.

Involuntarily, every time he negotiated some serious matter with a stranger, a very strong sense of vigilance would immediately emerge in Bian Mu's heart, and sometimes, he even seemed a little nervous.

When facing Doctor Ning, Bian Mu also had to be on guard.

The negotiation atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and the wariness hidden in Bian Mu's heart gradually faded.

"Excuse me, but what are the procedures for you to work with us?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"To study abroad, you have to sign a one-year contract. Uncle Huang said that after the new year, the clinic should be open for business. In a sense, the 'Xin G 20' Chinese Medical Clinic is at the same level as our hospital. At first, I thought Uncle Huang was exaggerating, but after chatting with you for a long time today, I think he is really far-sighted. You've heard that some studios in Nanjin, such as dentistry, neurosurgery, and our traditional Chinese medicine, have surpassed the corresponding departments of the top three hospitals in all aspects. Uncle Huang said that this may be a development trend! You! You can definitely be called the first in Lijin! Once the sign is hung, all medical circles will soon receive relevant official letters. By then, our dean will be eager to be linked to the clinic!" Doctor Ning said with a smile.

"Oh! It doesn't seem that high! Then... is the salary paid by your hospital?" "It's usually like this... I only get the basic salary from the hospital, and there are no performance bonuses or subsidies. If the profit of the clinic is good, you can just give me some living allowance. It's not easy for you in the early stage of starting a business. If the profit is a little tight in the first year, you can count me as helping you. For me, with your guidance, I will definitely pass the evaluation for associate senior professor next time I participate in the evaluation!"

"You think too highly of me. I can't even give you any advice. Well... I'll ask you a few questions. Do you mind?"

"It's an interview! Of course, go ahead!" Dr. Ning seemed quite calm.

"Recent medical research has confirmed that fructose is beneficial to the growth and development of cancer cells. Some scholars even claim that it is the proper intake of fructose that allows cancer cells to remain fully active. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, what do you think of this statement? You can just talk about it in general terms, there are no fixed rules." Bian Mu spoke in a more relaxed tone.

"This... I have paid some attention to it, not much. I hope you can forgive me if I am right or wrong! Under aerobic conditions, glycolysis occurs first, followed by the production of pyruvic acid; under anaerobic conditions, lactic acid and ethanol are produced respectively. Not only that, fructose can also accelerate the utilization of glucose under hypoxic conditions, and this mechanism seems to be strengthening. In this way, fructose can easily provide energy for cancer cells, and the metabolites it produces can also maintain the proliferation of cancer cells. My level is not high. From my understanding, for cancer cells, fructose is like a 'paradise of life', so... using the simplest logic to reverse the treatment, Chinese medicine should at least consider redesigning the patient's fructose intake path in a unique way of Chinese medicine, right? For example, effective containment and effective supply go hand in hand. In this regard, it seems that we should not follow the basic idea of ​​radiotherapy and chemotherapy in Western medicine. I am not very smart, so what I said is inappropriate, what I said is wrong!"

"You're welcome! You talked quite well. So... in terms of acupuncture, how well have you mastered techniques like Burning Mountain Fire and Cooling the Sky?" Bian Mu mentioned the second question with a smile.

"I practice every day, but... my understanding is limited. It depends on the person whether I can get the Qi and penetrate the three parts of heaven, earth and man. If I meet the right patient, I can achieve about 60% of the success rate. In this regard, I dare not compare with you!"

"Then...is it convenient for us to have a rehearsal on the spot?" Hearing this, Bian Mu was already quite satisfied. To be cautious, he planned to test Dr. Ning in front of him again.

"Alright! After all, you opened a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. If I'm too green, I'll destroy your brand!"

"I have a pack of acupuncture needles here, in various sizes. I just observed that the inner walls of this reading room are made of high-quality soundproof materials, so they are not afraid of being pierced by needles. I brought standard-sized needles. First, choose a needle with the longest size. You can tell me a size. I will insert the needle into the inner wall with the technique of flicking my finger into the wall. After checking, if I can meet the standard, then I would like you to do the same. Do you mind?"

"This... I have practiced it before, but at this distance, I'm afraid I don't have enough strength. It's okay, let's give it a try!"

Nodding slightly, Bian Mu took out a pack of ordinary acupuncture needles from his backpack and selected the longest one.

Doctor Ning smiled and said casually: "One third?"

"Okay!" Before he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist and the steel needle was already on the wall.

Out of curiosity, Dr. Ning quickly walked to the wall and took a closer look.

"Wow! It's almost exact, it really lives up to its reputation! I'm not as good as you, let me try two injections first!" After saying that, Dr. Ning walked to the coffee table and picked out a steel needle of the same size.

Imitating Bian Mu's technique, Dr. Ning flipped his wrist slightly and used the force of a finger snap to throw a needle towards the inner wall.

Bian Mu walked to the wall and took a look. It was okay, about one-third of the way into the wall.

"The light meal is quite delicious, thank you! I won't bother you any longer. The clinic has officially opened recently. You can go there anytime when you have almost completed the formalities. However... the nurse assigned to you may not be able to come to work until later. If you are not in a hurry, you can come to work later." Bian Mu said with a smile.

"Ah?! Passed?! From the tone of Uncle Huang, it seems that you look down on me!" Doctor Ning blurted out in surprise and joy.

"No, no! It's just an ordinary clinic."

Afterwards, the two discussed the nursing staffing issue for a few words, and Bian Mu said goodbye.
