I. The crisis subsides and the mind is at peace.
The old man on the bed gradually calmed down and his chest rose and fell at a normal rhythm.
The purplish-blue swelling on his face slowly faded, gradually revealing a warm, rosy complexion.
His cloudy eyes regained their clarity completely, no longer dull and dazed, and the previous painful struggle was gone.
The stuffy, rattling sound in my throat completely disappeared, and my breathing became smooth and natural.
Everyone in the room stared intently at the hospital bed, their eyes wide, frozen in place.
After a few seconds of silence, a low, choked sob of surprise suddenly rose in the long-suppressed bedroom.
The old man's eldest son rushed to the bedside, his eyes red-rimmed, and gently held the old man's warm hands.
His lips trembled incessantly, his face showing a mixture of lingering fear and ecstatic joy, and his voice was trembling.
"Dad! You're back to normal! You're finally back to normal!"
The other children and younger relatives also gathered around, their sorrowful expressions vanishing, and they all wept with joy.
The despair and sorrow that filled the room before instantly transformed into the relief and warmth of regaining what was lost.
Two veteran Chinese medicine doctors, who had practiced medicine for decades, stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the scene before them.
The two turned to look at each other, their faces filled with shame, their eyes brimming with shock and disbelief.
The two looked down at their hands, which they had used for years to take pulses and practice medicine, and silently clenched their fingertips, their expressions complex and indescribable.
The two of them, who were certain to die from a sudden illness, were miraculously brought back to life and their lives were stabilized by this young country boy in a short period of time.
The patriarch of the wealthy family let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense back slowly relaxed.
He turned to look at Chen Shanhe, who stood calmly to the side, his face no longer showing any coldness or resistance.
The previous domineering pressure, doubt, and cold contempt have all turned into deep remorse.
Su Wanjing stood to the side, her eyes gentle, and breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the elderly man recover from his critical condition.
Poems as proof:
The patient's condition is stable and her complexion is good.
The chronic illness has faded, and joy has returned.
A room full of joy dispelled sorrow.
It is difficult to save the world with a benevolent heart.
Second, filled with remorse, he repented for his past mistakes.
The patriarch of the wealthy family composed himself and strode quickly to Chen Shanhe's side.
He bent slightly at the waist, his face full of sincere apology, and his eyes full of respect.
His previous arrogance and domineering attitude had completely disappeared, and his tone of voice had become much more humble and respectful.
"Little Divine Doctor of Mountains and Rivers, I was blind before, judging people by their appearance, and my words were often offensive."
"Our family is short-sighted and prejudiced, and we publicly ridiculed and obstructed you from helping."
"We almost missed the chance to save my father's life because of our stubbornness, and I feel extremely ashamed."
The family members who had previously made sarcastic remarks all lowered their heads, looking embarrassed.
One by one, they looked ashamed and dared not look Chen Shanhe in the eye again, standing silently to the side without saying a word.
The two elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctors slowly stepped forward, their arrogant and self-possessed expressions fading from their faces.
The two men bowed slightly to Chen Shanhe, their expressions embarrassed and their tone full of shame.
"Little miracle doctor, we have practiced medicine for half our lives and have always been confident in our superb medical skills and unique insights."
"Having witnessed your dialectical methods and acupuncture techniques today, I realize that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding."
"It was our adherence to old laws, our narrow-mindedness, and our hasty judgments that nearly cost the old man his life."
"I previously held a contemptuous attitude and spoke disrespectfully; I hope the young doctor will not take it to heart."
Chen Shanhe remained calm, gently waving his hand with a serene and gentle expression, showing no sign of resentment.
"A doctor practices medicine only to save lives. It's only natural for others to have doubts, and I never take them to heart."
"The best outcome is that the elderly patient's condition has stabilized and he is out of danger."
His simple words, spoken without arrogance or boastfulness, inspired genuine respect from everyone.
Poems as proof:
Feeling guilty and remorseful in front of others
Prejudice can destroy goodwill.
Admitting one's mistakes and bowing in sincerity,
From then on, he respected Little Fairy Doctor.
III. Resting in Gratitude
After hearing Chen Shanhe's insightful and gentle words, the head of the family felt even more admiration for him.
He looked out the window; the sky had already gradually darkened, the sun was setting, and twilight was deepening.
I recall that Chen Shanhe and his companion had traveled all the way from Qinglong Town to the provincial capital, enduring a long and dusty journey by motorcycle.
They endured wind and rain, traveled tirelessly without a moment's rest, and rushed here solely to save lives.
He immediately looked earnest and hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay, his tone sincere and fervent.
"Little Divine Doctor of Mountains and Rivers, Miss Wanjing, you have traveled thousands of miles and are already exhausted."
"We've been traveling a long and tiring journey, and haven't even had a cup of hot tea or a hot meal yet."
"Now that my father's condition has stabilized and the danger has passed, it is already getting late."
"We absolutely cannot let you continue your arduous journey. You must stay at my humble abode today and get some proper rest."
"I immediately had someone prepare a meal, a simple feast, as a small token of our family's gratitude for being saved."
The family members standing nearby echoed this sentiment, each with a sincere expression, and one after another, they warmly urged the family to stay.
"Yes, little miracle doctor, you must stay for a meal and rest! You absolutely cannot refuse!"
"If you insist on leaving today, our whole family will feel terrible!"
Murong Fangxiang also gently advised from the side, her eyes and brows filled with a gentle smile.
"The scenery is beautiful and tranquil. We cannot refuse your kind invitation. Please stay and rest for a while, and have a hot meal."
After a long journey and a series of painstaking medical consultations and acupuncture treatments, both of them were already exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Chen Shanhe looked down at Su Wanjing, who had been following him all the way, and saw that her eyes were indeed filled with the weariness of travel.
After a moment's thought, he slowly nodded and softly accepted everyone's earnest invitation to stay.
Poems as proof:
Weary from traveling a thousand miles,
People are grateful for the life-saving act.
They earnestly tried to persuade the travelers to stay.
A cup of coarse tea warms the cold dust.
IV. Setting up a banquet to calm the mind
When the head of the family heard Chen Shanhe nod in agreement to stay for a rest and a meal, a genuine smile of joy instantly bloomed on his face.
He quickly turned around and loudly gave instructions to the servants in the courtyard, his tone urgent yet polite.
The kitchen immediately sprang into action, with servants hurrying back and forth, washing and preparing vegetables and cooking in an orderly manner.
In no time at all, the elegant and clean hall was cleaned and arranged properly, and the tables and chairs were wiped spotless.
A steaming hot home-style feast was quickly laid out on the table, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, and a variety of hot dishes and fresh soups.
It wasn't extravagant, but every dish was made with care, warm and comforting, and full of the host's sincere gratitude.
Everyone crowded around Chen Shanhe and Su Wanjing, and together they moved to the hall and sat down comfortably.
The tense and oppressive atmosphere that filled the room just moments ago has now completely dissipated.
Everyone's tense mind was completely relaxed, and the anxious and worried expressions on their faces faded, replaced by gentle smiles.
The previous cold looks, sarcastic remarks, and deep-seated estrangement and hostility vanished as the old man recovered.
The two elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctors were also warmly invited to take their seats, but they were humble and polite and took their seats on the side.
The two men would occasionally glance at Chen Shanhe, who was sitting upright at the table, and there was no longer any arrogance or prejudice in their eyes.
All that remained was heartfelt admiration and respect. The two lowered their voices and chatted quietly, every word filled with praise.
I was amazed that the young man possessed unparalleled medical skills at such a young age, far surpassing my own decades of medical experience.
The head of the wealthy family set aside his airs of being the head of a powerful family, personally picked up the teapot, and respectfully poured hot tea for Chen Shanhe.
His smile was humble and sincere, he was courteous and polite, and his tone became modest and gentle.
His gaze was earnest as he sincerely addressed Chen Shanhe:
"Little miracle doctor, quickly drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. You two have traveled a long way and must be exhausted."
"If you hadn't acted decisively despite the criticism today, my father would definitely not have survived this life-or-death ordeal."
"Our whole family will remember this life-saving kindness forever."
The room was filled with people sitting around a table, chatting softly and gently, creating a warm, harmonious, and peaceful atmosphere.
The panic, anxiety, and life-or-death struggle of the whole day slowly subsided and dissipated over this hot meal and tea.
Poems as proof:
A family feast warms the heart.
Barriers and prejudices have led to widespread despondency.
The dust and fatigue are washed away.
Slowly and tenderly, Xie Xinglin speaks.
