Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2430 It's easier to talk when Attorney Feng is present.
The couple who claimed to be the original owners of the brocade have not shown up since. Old Hou asked a group of friends to inquire around, but the couple seemed to have vanished into thin air. To this day, they have not been able to find any clues. Gradually, Bian Mu and Old Hou stopped paying much attention to the matter.

After repeated verification, Bian Mu basically mastered the underlying textual and medical logic of that "woven script". Today, when he encountered such a young patient, a thought flashed through his mind. Bian Mu specially imitated the expression style of that "woven script" and wrote two prescriptions for the boy. The first one was actually a pathological analysis report, which was concise and focused on the "canine syncope" syndrome. The second one was a prescription, which was written in the ancient medical script.

Both prescriptions were handwritten by Bian Mu using a wolf-hair brush, his brushstrokes flowing like dragons and snakes, showing considerable skill!

The boy's uncle was somewhat educated and immediately realized that these two prescriptions were definitely not simple!
With eyes brimming with endless expectation, the boy's uncle's gaze occasionally revealed a hint of awe towards Bian Mu. In all his life, he had never seen such a profound, fantastical, and mysterious traditional medicine prescription before, and a sense of trepidation inevitably arose in his heart.

"The Xu family values ​​their lineage. After you return to your hometown, I suggest you find a key figure in the Xu family through relatives or friends who can speak with them. Have him/her take you to formally visit their home. When you arrive, sit and listen more and say less. When you feel the time is right, hand over these two prescriptions. They will definitely ask you if these two documents are written by Doctor Bian himself. Don't say much, just nod and say yes! They will most likely also ask what else Doctor Bian said before leaving. Just shake your head gently and say as little as possible. Don't worry about anything else. The Xu family has a very deep family tradition of medicine. I think there will definitely be some arrangements later. You can stay at home with your nephew and wait quietly for most of the day." Bian Mu gave a few words of advice in a relaxed tone.

"Are my sister and her husband going with them?" the boy's uncle asked casually.

"No need! Strictly speaking, this is the first interaction between our two different schools of traditional Chinese medicine. It's just a coincidence that we happened to run into your family's troubles! It's a win-win-win situation! It's just that you've had a hard time running around with your nephew's family."

"Of course, my sister has had a hard time too! I'll do whatever you say." As he spoke, the boy's uncle carefully put the two prescriptions away and tucked them into his pocket.

“It’s almost lunchtime, and I’m getting a bit hungry too. Since we’ve all come together, it’s my treat! Let’s find a restaurant nearby and grab something to eat. There are a few things I need to tell you about some key details regarding your nephew’s full recovery.”

"Oh! You're our great benefactor, we should definitely treat you, we can't let you spend the money!"

“It is indeed my treat! I’ve been trying to get in touch with the Xu family for a while now, but the opportunity just hasn’t presented itself! This matter has actually built a bridge between our two families. As I said before, it’s a win-win-win situation! Besides, I am the host after all! We don’t have a formal doctor-patient relationship, so what’s a meal between friends?” Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"I see... Then I'll leave everything to the curator's arrangements!"

“There are some things that are not very clear from a medical perspective alone. I also need to ask a friend to come along. She is a lawyer, a very professional one. When arranging the seating later, please arrange for my sister, brother-in-law, me, and the lawyer to sit at one table, and the rest of you to sit at another table. It’s better to keep some things from your nephew.” Bian Mu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay! I'll go out and greet them."

"Okay, we'll set off as soon as Attorney Feng arrives!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Master!" With that, the boy's uncle stood up, bowed to Bian Mu, and went out to greet his relatives. ...

Feng Xiujuan has been quite busy lately. She only rushed over after Bian Mu and the others had sat down at two separate tables and chatted for a while.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bian Mu called over two waiters to take his order.

“Some things can only be discussed more clearly in front of Attorney Feng. It’s easy to be biased if we only look at things from a medical perspective. Moreover, I can speak frankly with Attorney Feng present. Otherwise, it’s easy to give people the impression that I’m stirring up trouble.” Bian Mu smiled and briefly explained his intentions.

Upon hearing this, the student's parents exchanged bewildered glances.

"I wonder which aspect the owner is referring to?" the boy's father asked with a smile.

"In front of Attorney Feng, let me first add some basic medical knowledge. In our traditional Chinese medicine view, the human brain's control of the limbs and body can be simply summarized as two lines: red and white. The red line is related to flesh, tendons, and joints, while the white line is related to nerves, neurons, and other observable nervous systems. Of course, this is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine does not have this concept. Western medicine explains it in more detail and systematically than our traditional Chinese medicine. Your son's current symptoms appear to be injuries to his waist and legs. He is not only unable to walk independently, but his leg muscles have even shown some atrophy. According to the medical knowledge I just mentioned, we can start by investigating the two main lines. However, your family has quite good conditions in all aspects. Similar examinations and treatments have been going on for three or four years, and what has been the result? The condition has not been controlled. On the contrary, it is showing a further deterioration trend. May I ask, from your perspective, where do you think the problem lies?" Bian Mu asked calmly.

"This...we wouldn't understand!"

“That’s right. We’ve consulted almost all the renowned doctors we could find, and we’ve spent a lot of money, but there are definitely signs that things are getting out of control. The key thing is… my son is sometimes uncooperative, as if we’re the ones who caused this… We don’t understand at all, we can’t guess. Master, you don’t need to hold back, just speak frankly!” The boy’s father echoed his wife’s words.

"You might be mistaken. Your son is probably just upset with himself! His expression and words may have caused some misunderstanding... In our new school of thought, your son is suffering from mental distress! This so-called mental distress is somewhat similar to what Western medicine calls spinal cord nerve ending damage. However, from a medical perspective, the two are not the same thing. So... we might need to alert the relevant departments to investigate that student's intentions. As for whether it will lead to legal proceedings, we'll have to consult Attorney Feng." Bian Mu unexpectedly said these words.

"Huh?! The owner means... that boy was maliciously targeting my Xiaocheng?! And... it caused such serious consequences?!" the boy's mother exclaimed in shock.

Bian Mu nodded gently.

"The suspicion in this regard... at least for now, it cannot be completely ruled out based on the pulse diagnosis. As for me, I have never formally treated your son, so... such conversations are only to provide a perspective for thoroughly resolving the issue. In the subsequent treatment process, sooner or later, renowned medical experts will ask about this aspect, so you can be mentally prepared at that time." As she spoke, Bian Mu turned her head and glanced at Attorney Feng.

Attorney Feng's professionalism was impeccable. He smiled faintly at Bian Mu, indicating that he had basically understood what Bian Mu meant.
