Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2441 Ultra-low temperature

Whether it's Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, once a doctor's skills reach a certain level, they all understand one common sense when communicating with patients: no matter how sharp their mind, how rich their life experience, how high their education, how strong their communication skills, or how much worldly experience they have, they will definitely miss some important symptoms when describing their condition to the doctor. Interestingly, the more advanced the patient's level, the more likely they are to miss very important symptoms.

The elite lawyer in front of us is no exception.

To this day, she has never mentioned the so-called "empty hair feeling" to anyone.

She didn't mention Qi Shangqi at all.

For no other reason than that, ever since she started working as a lawyer, she has been particularly concerned about her hair. Although she has a fair amount of hair, it always looks yellow, thin, and dry... making her look old-fashioned at a young age. Interestingly, almost all of her female colleagues have better hair than the other.

For this reason, she did it day in and day out for decades, and because of this, she always felt quite inferior.

It's a very strange psychology.

In recent years, whether it's three or five years, she has noticed that her scalp feels uncomfortable whenever the weather turns cloudy, and whenever it rains, even just a light drizzle, she feels as if her hair has just been blown away by a strong wind, leaving it feeling empty and cool!
It's kind of creepy!

However, she felt inferior about this for most of her life, and she never mentioned such feelings to anyone in the world!
Bian Mu merely took her pulse, yet he directly struck at the most vulnerable spot in her heart.

Enough!

Accurate enough!

No wonder he's hailed as the top doctor in Lijin!
It was quite obvious that Qi Shangqi's cousin's attitude immediately became more submissive.

"It is a bit... My hair is fine, I only dye it occasionally, and I have never worn hair accessories such as wigs..." Although he was somewhat incoherent, he had already explained the basic symptoms.

With a slight smile, Bian Mu said, "That's alright! Some of what's being said downstairs sounds rather unusual. Shall we talk privately? Or would you like to invite this lady downstairs for a cup of tea?"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other for a few seconds in bewilderment.

"Little Tang! Doctor Bian's tea here is famous, a top-quality health drink. Why don't you come downstairs and have a taste?" Qi Shangqi's cousin politely sent the woman downstairs to leave temporarily.

"Please continue your conversation. I'll go downstairs to sample your esteemed health and wellness products." With that, the young woman gracefully descended the stairs to rest.

Bian Mu had always felt that the woman was unusual, so he took out his phone and asked Nurse Sun to take care of her.

Turning around, Bian Mu told her cousin Qi Shangqi about a rather unusual case. "Last winter, just before New Year's Eve, several men carried an old man to our place. He was about seventy years old, curled up on a stretcher, with a frighteningly low body temperature. He was a rural man who had been single for most of his life, living alone in an old courtyard halfway up the mountain. He grew some sorghum and vegetables, and his only companions were two guard dogs, one big and one small. He also raised a lot of free-range chickens and some sheep. He was usually quite diligent, keeping his house and surroundings very well-organized. Everyone in the village praised him as an optimist, living a contented life even though he had never had a family. When the village officials went to his house to deliver some New Year's gifts, they found him suddenly lying down... By the time he was brought to me, everyone had basically given up hope. He had only two obvious symptoms: he was curled up and unable to stretch out, and he had unusually low body temperature."

The more she listened, the more curious she became. Qi Shangqi's cousin's eyes widened, and a hint of nervousness occasionally flashed in her shifty gaze...

"Is he about to die?"

"At the time, almost everyone thought that the old man's lifespan was coming to an end. Later, we felt sorry for him because he had lived most of his life. A relative who had been treated by me suggested that we bring him here to try our luck. At the very least, we should find a way to let him lie down and finish the last leg of his life!"

"And then what?" Qi Shangqi's cousin became increasingly nervous.

The atmosphere is definitely a bit scary!

“After going through the normal procedures and checking, I arranged for them to carry the old man back. No medicine worked, and he wasn’t even given a sip of hot water. However, he couldn’t go back to his original courtyard. Instead, we rented a small house in the county town, opposite the county middle school. The neighbors on both sides were all small business owners, so it was lively. We hired someone to cook him rice porridge, stir-fries, and other meals. Whenever he was in good spirits, we tried to push him to the cinema in a wheelchair to watch movies, no matter the subject matter, as long as there were pictures and sound.”

"And then what?" Qi Shangqi's cousin was dumbfounded.

An unprecedented experience.

Extremely bizarre!

Having practiced law for at least forty years, she'd witnessed almost every bizarre event in the world, and handled every kind of case imaginable! But... after hearing Bian Mu recount this strange medical case firsthand today, her head suddenly felt three times bigger, and the feeling of emptiness slowly returned...

To be honest, you could tell from her face and eyes that she was clearly a little scared at this moment.

An unnamed fear!
This is a psychological experience I've never had before in my life!
"Just after the Lantern Festival, a young village official drove to our clinic to inform us that the old man had returned to normal, was eating three meals a day, although not much, his paralysis had completely disappeared, his body temperature was normal, and he was fine. He kept asking me what happened to the old man." Bian Mu continued calmly.

"Huh?! This is too bizarre! This... could it be the so-called incantation technique?" Well! She knows quite a lot.

As Qi Shangqi's cousin, and having worked as a lawyer for so many years, she certainly has some experience.

"Hehe... It has nothing to do with incantation magic. His core problem is the ultra-low temperature! As long as the right medicine is used and this hurdle is completely overcome, the rest will be no problem." Bian Mu replied in a relaxed tone.

"I don't quite understand... Please explain in detail, Dr. Bian..." Clearly, Qi Shangqi's cousin was very interested in this matter. At the same time, having seen quite a bit of the world, she vaguely guessed that if she wanted to get out of her current predicament, she really needed this somewhat unfathomable young doctor to prescribe a "miracle cure".

"This has to do with imaging. In a sense, a person's life is like a projector, projecting various versions of films onto a screen defined by nature and human society. Some people are incredibly talented, creating three-dimensional images—you can imagine, those people have long been famous throughout history. We certainly can't compare. Some people project colorful, color feature films, while others are less impressive, their entire lives a black and white film... and so on. That old man with the strange illness was much more pitiful. He hardly ever left his house in his life, born at the starting point of life, and ending at the starting point of life. He lived his entire life at an exceptionally lonely point, unable to even draw a straight line, unable to form an image at all!" At this point, Bian Mu deliberately paused, leaving some blank space for his cousin Qi Shangqi to digest.
