Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 104: Barefoot Doctor
Expert Gou looked arrogant. He glanced at the thin, dark man in worn camouflage uniforms sitting in the passenger seat with a look of disdain and asked:

"I heard that Shen Xing is a veterinarian?"

The tone of the question was arrogant and full of bureaucracy.

This expert from the imperial capital is also a veteran in administration and officialdom.

Old Deng had never seen such a high-ranking official before. He was frightened by his aura and was a little stuck for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Deputy Director Wei had been in the government for many years and had developed a good ability to react on the spot. He quickly spoke up to help Old Deng out:

"Master Gou, I heard from Old Deng that the boy has some medical skills and cured the lynx's tooth disease in the mountain, but his little skill is nothing compared to Master Gou."

Check it out!

That’s what talking is!
This is the art of speaking in official circles!

Pretty!

Not only did he reply, he also praised a group of experts from the capital. This Deputy Director Wei's ability to flatter and curry favor is unparalleled!

Gou Dongxi snorted coldly and glanced at Lao Deng:
"How good can the skills of a barefoot doctor be?"

"I don't know where you got the little knowledge from, but you dare to call yourself a veterinarian?"

"Do you really think that it is so easy to enter the Chinese veterinary profession?"

Old Deng was secretly relieved because Deputy Director Wei spoke for him, but then he heard the expert from the capital slandering and mocking Shen Xing, and his face suddenly turned cold.

Deputy Director Wei looked embarrassed. He was familiar with Gou Dongxi's character. He knew that this highly educated veterinary expert who came from an orthodox professional school looked down upon those folk doctors who roamed around the countryside and treated the villagers' cattle, horses, pigs and sheep.

In the opinion of Deputy Director Wei, it is normal for Doctor Gou to think this way. First, he is a native of the imperial capital, has received the most elite education, and grew up in an environment surrounded by high-rise buildings. Second, he has made remarkable achievements in the field of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, has published many high-quality international papers, and even won many domestic and international scientific and technological awards. He has a say in this circle and is a leader. As a man with achievements and status, his mentality naturally changes. It is normal for him to look down on these rural veterinarians with his noble status as a graduate of an orthodox school. Third, Doctor Gou has received foreign education. His master's and doctoral degrees are all inherited from foreign masters. He has been influenced by American and English culture, and he wears a tuxedo and holds a red wine glass to have a party. Naturally, he looks down on muddy and loess houses.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit of a Western worship.

Old Deng felt uncomfortable after hearing these words. In his impression, Shen Xing was a very motivated and promising young man who was kind to small animals. He even agreed without hesitation when Shen Xing proposed to set up a branch of the forest ranger station at the foot of the mountain.

Moreover, Old Deng had personally witnessed Shen Xing's veterinary skills, as he cured the dental disease of a mountain lynx using only a pair of pliers.

Shen Xing is definitely not as terrible as this expert says!
Just learned a little bit about veterinary medicine?
No, Shen Xing is really capable!

At least, in Lao Deng's opinion, no one can extract the teeth of a fat lynx weighing over 100 pounds without anesthesia!

This kind of courage and determination is definitely not something an ordinary veterinarian can do!

Old Deng's lips moved but he hesitated to speak. Xiao Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat and driving, winked at Old Deng frantically, signaling him to keep quiet and just bow his head to be criticized. This Gou Dongxi was an expert from the capital, and he was not someone that two little minions like us could afford to offend!

Even Director Wei has to bow and scrape to this important figure, so we must not bring bad luck upon ourselves!
Even Deputy Director Wei was trying to smooth things over and curry favor with Expert Gou:
"Master Gou is right. I have asked around about that guy. He used to be in a provincial university, but later went to Shanghai. Recently, for some unknown reason, he suddenly quit his job and went home. He then started raising tigers and treating animals. How can a finance major have the skills to treat animals? It's just fur, not worth mentioning."

After hearing what Deputy Director Wei said, Gou Dongxi's expression improved a lot.

As a veterinary researcher who has studied abroad for a few years, he hates the most those barefoot doctors who use folk remedies and medicines to treat animals. They have no technical skills, are crude, and bring shame to the veterinary profession!

In Gou Dongxi's view, veterinarian is a sacred profession. Veterinarians should wear white coats, goggles, and hold instruments neatly and professionally to treat animals.

How could they be like those rural folk doctors who just used bare hands or pliers?

Can this be called a cure?

This is called playing house in the mud!

Old Deng was originally suppressing his emotions, but after hearing what Deputy Director Wei said, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shen Xing is a good veterinarian. His medical skills are definitely not as bad as you said, Director Wei. He cured the big mountain cat's tooth disease. I saw it with my own eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Wei was stunned, and then glared at Lao Deng.

Lao Deng, Lao Deng, what can I say with your emotional intelligence? Don’t you know that this is just a polite remark?
Although Deputy Director Wei was angry, Old Deng was his subordinate and they had dealt with each other for many years. In addition, his old classmate was the director of the Municipal Forestry Bureau. Deputy Director Wei did not take his words too seriously and hurried to coax the expert from the imperial capital.

"Master Gou, Old Deng is not very good at speaking, please don't mind..."

Gou Dongxi didn't even look at the deputy director of the Municipal Forestry Bureau, but sneered at Old Deng:
"You said that boy has good medical skills, right? Okay, let's go to that Muzi Village now..."

"Wooden House Village." Deputy Director Wei kindly reminded.

"Who cares about that shitty village? Since you think that guy has good medical skills, let's take him with us and let him go up the mountain to cure that strange disease." Gou Dongxi sneered, giving Old Deng a warning on the spot.

Aren’t you praising the barefoot doctor for his skills?
Then show me what you can do!

I want to see how capable this layman, who has never learned any university theoretical knowledge or received any training and has only learned a few superficial knowledge, can be!
Hearing this, Old Deng's face changed slightly. Isn't this embarrassing? Even if Shen Xing has medical skills, the rare disease is a serious disease that even the experts from the Municipal Forestry Bureau and the Provincial Forestry Bureau have to worry about. Those experts find it very difficult. Letting Shen Xing treat it is obviously embarrassing.

Old Deng was not stupid. He knew that Expert Gou was deliberately making things difficult for him. He did not dare to fight back. Instead, he felt regretful that he should not have said too much and should have listened to the driver Xiao Li and kept silent. He should not have offended Expert Gou.

Knowing that the other party hates the country veterinarian, you still speak well of them. If this is not stupidity, what is that?
But Lao Deng is the director of the Huling Forest Station, and he usually comes into contact with rural people. As for veterinary medicine, not to mention Dali in their station, even Veterinarian Long in Shiwu Village are very good people with excellent medical skills. Whenever an animal is sick and Dali can't treat it, just make a call to Veterinarian Long, and as soon as Veterinarian Long goes up the mountain, he will give the medicine to cure the disease immediately.

Old Deng had a very good impression of the veterinarians at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Even the new veterinarian Shen Xing had great potential. He could not accept the expert Gou's slander and contempt for them, so he spoke up for justice.

But sometimes, doing good things with bad intentions can bring disaster and unnecessary trouble to people!

Old Deng hesitated and wanted to explain, but was afraid he would say the wrong thing again, so the words got stuck in his throat and he hesitated.

Deputy Director Wei saw Lao Deng's difficulty and quickly advised:

"Master Gou, in my opinion, forget it. The Shen family kid is not very skilled. He has only learned a little bit. He can pull teeth for animals, but how can he treat illnesses?"

"Did I ask you a question? Why are you butting in?" Gou Dongxi didn't give any face to the deputy director of the Municipal Forestry Bureau. He sneered with a look of contempt.

"That guy's name is Shen Xing, right? Call him now and tell him to wait at home. We'll go pick him up and take him up the mountain!"

Gou Dongxi refused to give in and even Deputy Director Wei didn't show any good face to him. He ordered Lao Deng to call and ask Shen Xing to go into the mountains to treat the rare disease.

"Didn't you greet him before you left? He didn't reply you? Why don't you call him? Why are you just standing there?" Seeing Old Deng in a daze, Gou Dongxi couldn't help but scold.

There was a moment of silence in the car, and the air was a bit depressing. At the signal from Deputy Director Wei, Old Deng reluctantly took out his cell phone and called Shen Xing's father, Shen Dahai.

"Hello, Mr. Shen, is your son home?"

……

The call ended quickly, and Lao Deng shook his head at the expert from the city.
"Shen Xing is not at home. His family said he went up the mountain."

When Gou Dongxi heard that Shen Xing was not at home, he raised the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically:

"I told you, this kid was scared. When he heard that he had to treat a red-crowned crane, he felt guilty. He learned a little bit but it was just superficial knowledge after all."

"These barefoot doctors in the countryside are weak and cannot be put on the stage."

Gou Dongxi was very disappointed and shook his head.

"It's normal to be afraid. After all, the kid from the Shen family is the village doctor. This rare disease is too difficult to treat. Only Master Gou can bring the disease back to life!" Deputy Director Wei seized this good opportunity to flatter him.

This praise touched Gou Dongxi's heart. As a great veterinarian who had studied abroad, Gou Dongxi liked people praising his excellent medical skills and calling him a miraculous doctor the most.

The more he was praised for his medical skills, the happier he was.

Anyway, in the field of veterinary medicine, he is second to none and no one dares to claim to be the best.

"Let's go to Veterinarian Shen's house. I'm quite interested in that little tiger." Gou Dongxi laughed and then said slowly.

"It's very rare to see a wild Siberian tiger, especially a cub, which is even more rare."

"I just happen to have a wildlife genetics project recently, which is related to the Siberian tiger. It would be a waste to leave this tiger cub in the home of a barefoot wild doctor. Let me take it back to the capital!"

Gou Dongxi crossed his legs, touched his chin, and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Old Deng's expression suddenly changed.

Is this expert going to take the little tiger away?

This is this...

Will Shen Xing agree to this?
Not to mention that Shen Xing disagrees, even the tigress on the mountain would not agree!
Not to mention Old Deng was so surprised, even Deputy Director Wei frowned at this moment, very surprised by Expert Gou's decision.

"Master Gou, I'm afraid we need to discuss this matter further..."

"Our Imperial Capital Research Institute specifically requested this tiger cub. Do you have any objections?"
