Chapter 391
He sat at his desk, his eyes fixed on the yellowed pages, his pen constantly jotting down important information. When drowsiness struck, he would wash his face with cold water to wake himself up and continue his research.
Persistence pays off. While perusing an ancient medical book, Su Ye stumbled upon an extremely rare herb. According to the book, this herb might be able to control the current plague.
However, this herb grew in a treacherous valley outside the city, a place fraught with danger and teeming with ferocious wild beasts. But Su Ye had only one thought in his mind: to find this herb as quickly as possible and save the people suffering from the plague. Therefore, disregarding everyone's advice, he resolutely decided to head to the valley to collect the herb.
The next morning, before dawn, Su Ye shouldered his pack, took some simple tools, and set off for the valley. Along the way, he traversed mountains and valleys, hacking his way through thorns and brambles. The treacherous mountain paths made each step difficult, requiring extreme caution; a single misstep could send him tumbling down a cliff. He also encountered several attacks from wild animals, but through his unwavering will and agile movements, he managed to escape unscathed. After a full day of arduous trekking, Su Ye finally reached the valley. He searched every nook and cranny, leaving no corner unexplored. After much effort, he finally found the rare herb.
After gathering the herbs, Su Ye rushed back to the clinic without resting. He quickly prepared the herbs into a medicine. To ensure its safety, he made a bold decision—to test it on himself first. His fellow apprentices tried to dissuade him, worried that he might be harmed, but Su Ye was resolute. He said, "If I don't dare to try it myself, how can I let the patients feel safe taking it?" So, he drank the medicine without hesitation. Over the next few hours, Su Ye closely monitored his body's reaction. Fortunately, the medicine did not cause any adverse reactions.
After confirming everything was correct, Su Ye and her fellow disciples immediately distributed the medicine to the patients. Thanks to everyone's combined efforts, a miracle finally occurred. The patients' conditions gradually came under control, and their fever and cough symptoms slowly subsided. As time went on, more and more patients recovered and were discharged, and this terrible plague was finally effectively contained.
This experience deepened Su Ye's understanding of the vastness and complexity of medicine and the responsibilities he bore. He strengthened his resolve to delve deeper into medical knowledge and decided to compile his years of accumulated medical records and experience into a medical book suitable for beginners. He hoped that through this book, the medical skills of his clinic could be better passed down, enabling more people to master the ability to treat and save lives, and contribute their strength to alleviating the suffering of the world. Therefore, in addition to his busy work at the clinic, Su Ye began his writing work. He spent his days seeing patients and his nights working late into the night, organizing materials and writing manuscripts. Although the process was extremely arduous, he was tireless in his efforts because he knew he was doing something of extraordinary significance.
In an ancient and tranquil town, Su Ye, a highly respected physician, is wholeheartedly dedicated to writing a medical book. With a sincere heart dedicated to helping people, he hopes to share his years of accumulated medical experience and knowledge without reservation through this book, guiding more physicians and benefiting more patients. However, in the long process of writing, Su Ye encounters a thorny problem. The solutions to some diseases are extremely complex, involving many obscure medical principles and cumbersome procedures, like a tangled mess of yarn. He racks his brains but cannot express them in a concise and easy-to-understand way, plunging him into deep distress.
It was a bright and sunny afternoon. Su Ye had just finished treating his last patient and sat wearily in his courtyard. His gaze was fixed blankly on the distance, his mind still preoccupied with the problems he was facing in compiling the medical text. His brow was furrowed, and he was filled with anxiety. The flowers and plants in the yard swayed gently in the breeze, as if they too were sighing for his troubles. Just then, a soft knock broke the tranquility. Su Ye got up to open the door and saw a young scholar-like figure standing outside. He was thin, pale, and his eyes revealed a hint of weariness and helplessness.
Upon seeing Su Ye, the scholar quickly bowed and said in a slightly trembling voice, "I have long admired Doctor Su's superb medical skills. I suffer from a chronic illness and have sought medical help everywhere, but many doctors have been ineffective. Now I am truly desperate and hope that Doctor Su can save me." Seeing this, Su Ye quickly invited the scholar into the house and had him sit down. Then, Su Ye carefully examined the scholar, taking his pulse and inquiring about his symptoms, not overlooking any detail. After a thorough examination, Su Ye had a plan in mind. He smiled and said to the scholar, "Young master, there is no need to worry. Although your illness is somewhat troublesome, it is not incurable. As long as you take the medicine as prescribed and combine it with some recuperation methods, you will surely recover gradually." Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in the scholar's eyes, and he quickly thanked Su Ye.
During his treatment, the scholar stayed at Su Ye's clinic. Every day he saw Su Ye working tirelessly on his medical book, often forgetting to eat or sleep, working day and night. The scholar deeply admired Su Ye's dedication and professionalism, and also developed a strong interest in the book's content. One day, seeing Su Ye frowning over a problem with the book's expression, the scholar mustered his courage and approached Su Ye, saying, "Dr. Su, I see how hard you work compiling this medical book, and I happen to have some literary skills. If you don't mind, I'd like to help you polish the language to make the content more accessible and understandable." Su Ye was overjoyed. Looking at the young scholar before him, his eyes filled with gratitude, he readily agreed to the scholar's request.
From then on, Su Ye and the scholar began a tacit collaboration. The scholar, with his profound literary skills, meticulously reviewed and polished Su Ye's medical writings, word by word. Like a skilled craftsman, he refined the obscure medical principles, transforming them into clear, concise, and easily understandable texts. Through their joint efforts, the compilation of the medical book progressed smoothly and gradually became more complete.
