At Yongkang Medical Center in Huizhou City, there is a man named Li Zhao. He has had countless doctors in his life and is highly skilled. In his later years, he accepted two apprentices, one is called Ma Xiran and the other is called Xu Tianfang.
Although the two apprentices were of the same age, their understanding was different. Ma Xiran was smart and clever, and he could draw inferences from one another. Now he was able to make outpatient visits alone, but Xu Tianfang was not a doctor.
It was a quiet night, and everyone was asleep.
Suddenly, someone knocked hard on the door of the hospital. Xu Tianfang got up and opened the door. It turned out to be the housekeeper of the Guo family in the east of the city, and he was anxious: "Is Li Langzhong there? Quick, quick, my master has an invitation!"
The housekeeper said that his young lady was still fine during the day. Unexpectedly, before dinner was finished, she suddenly shouted and fainted, unable to wake up.
Xu Tianfang said in embarrassment, "Master is resting, this..."
Ma Xiran heard the movement and walked out, so he said, "Master is old, how about I go with you?"
Seeing that this was the case, the housekeeper nodded in agreement.
Ma Xiran is the tallest among Li Lang, and the butler naturally knows it.
Xu Tianfang volunteered and went with him.
Brother Ma Xiran came to the Guo family. At this time, Miss Guo was already less angry and more angry.
Seeing that Li Langzhong's apprentice had come, her parents didn't have time to blame the housekeeper. They hurriedly asked Ma Xiran, "Ma Langzhong, what happened to the little girl?"
Ma Xiran didn't answer. After looking at it, he frowned and said, "Strange, why don't you see any symptoms?"
Then he looked at the young lady's face again, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He placed his finger on the young lady's throat and gently pressed it, saying, "So that's the case."
He asked Master Guo to invite a maid, and after saying this, the maid followed suit, and he ordered, "You jump harder."
The servant jumped, only to hear the young lady's "cluck" sound, and a piece of bloodshot flesh and bone spat out of her mouth. The young lady took a long breath and woke up.
The next day, Ma Xiran's name spread, and for a time, people in Huizhou knew that his medical skills were no small matter. Those with intractable diseases have traveled thousands of miles to seek treatment.
Soon, Ma Xiran commissioned a matchmaker and married Miss Guo as his wife.
As the saying goes, people have good luck.
A few months later, Li Langzhong, who was usually quite strong, suddenly fell ill, making no prescription effective.
On this day, he ordered Xu Tianfang to call everyone over and say that he had the most important thing to explain.
Seeing that everyone was here, Li Langzhong said, "I can't make it through today. I think I have cured countless people in my life, but there are two people I can't cure, one is myself."
After taking a few breaths, he said again, "I'm afraid that if I leave, this hospital will decline from now on. There are thousands of people in the family, and there is one person in charge."
Everyone turned their attention to Ma Xiran. Li Langzhong had no children, so he was bound to inherit the hospital.
Ma Xiran was touched for a while, and was about to thank his master, but he didn't want Li Langzhong to say: "I have set Xu Tianfang as master, you must listen to him in the future..." After saying that, he kicked his feet and left.
Almost everyone couldn't believe their ears. Master, don't say it wrong?
Xu Tianfang's medical skills are mediocre, how could it be him?
But Master's words are the imperial decree, you have to listen if you don't listen.
As the saying goes: County officials are better off managing now.
After dealing with his master's funeral, Xu Tianfang issued the first order as master, ordering people to demolish the row of houses facing the street and turn them into shops.
That row of houses used to be where the master lived. Now that the master's corpse is not cold, Xu Tianfang is about to tear it down, and everyone's lungs are fried.
Ma Xiran was even more angry and asked, "What do you mean? Are we short of money? Have you ever thought about how others will see us if you do this?"
When Xu Tianfang heard this, he was unmoved, and said indifferently and arrogantly: "Now that I am the master, Master asked you to listen to me before he died, have you forgotten?"
"But are you worthy of his old man by doing this?"
"Haha," Xu Tianfang smiled proudly, "I understand, Master didn't pass the hospital to you, are you angry about this? To tell you the truth, Master has long known the secret between you and Miss Guo!"
"Ah?!" Ma Xiran only felt a "hum" sound, his body swayed, and he almost fell.
Speaking of this, Ma Xiran was also forced to feel helpless.
In Huizhou City, Li Langzhong was so famous that everyone only saw Li Langzhong.
Although he, Ma Xiran, was also an outstanding talent, he did not have the slightest use for it. Therefore, he was very depressed in his heart.
Once, he went to the Guo family with his master to see a doctor and met Miss Guo. The two fell in love at first sight.
On a date, he talked about this matter. In order to satisfy her sweetheart, Miss Guo designed a "bitter trick".
At that time, no one expected that Xu Tianfang, who was talented and dull, to have an epiphany this day. He found something strange about the bone and took it back while no one was paying attention. After checking, he found that the blood on it was not human blood, so he asked Ma Xiran.
Ma Xiran had no choice but to treat him as a good friend, so he told the truth.
At that time, Xu Tianfang swore to God that he would keep it a secret, but he didn't expect to sell it in the end.
Ma Xiran was so angry that the seven orifices were smoking, and he lost his reason. He rushed over and beat Xu Tianfang up.
This time, Ma Xiran got into big trouble, and Xu Tianfang immediately went to the government to sue him.
In the end, Ma Xiran lost the lawsuit completely and lost a lot of money.
He was disheartened and left Huizhou with his wife.
After several months, the entanglement between Ma Xiran and his wife has gradually exhausted, but they still haven't found a foothold.
In desperation, Ma Xiran had no choice but to become a quack, walking around the streets, seeing a doctor and selling medicine.
On this day, he came to the streets of NSW and walked to the door of a wealthy family. A person happened to come out from the inside and saw him carrying the sign "Cure All Diseases." He hurried over and shouted, "Your husband, my wife is sick, can you see it?"
Ma Xiran followed the man and came home.
The woman lay on the bed, pale and feeble.
Ma Xiran used all his strength for diagnosis and treatment, and finally showed a smile and said, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult."
He could see that what the woman received was just an ordinary cold, but because the woman was weak, she was sick in bed.
He prescribed a good prescription and asked someone to get the medicine. After only one dose of medicine, the woman came back to her senses.
The man was overjoyed and took out a hundred taels of silver to thank him.
Ma Xiran only accepted a few taels of silver.
Seeing that he was not a greedy person, the man started chatting with him. After hearing his situation, he was very sympathetic and said, "Why don't I take the lead in opening a medical clinic, and you come to see the doctor, so that your medical skills can benefit the local area."
Ma Xiran was very happy and nodded repeatedly.
This person's surname is Liu, and he is a well-known member of NSW.
With his appearance, the hospital was soon opened.
Because of Ma Xiran's true ability, the business of this hospital is very prosperous.
After Liu Yuanwai passed away a few years later, Ma Xiran had the idea of going home, so he handed over the hospital to his apprentice and returned to Huizhou by himself.
When he arrived at Yongkang Medical Center, Ma Xiran was taken aback. After inquiring, he found out that the hospital had died last year. Not only did he lose a lot of money, but his reputation was also discredited.
Seeing that the hospital operated by his master was now destroyed, he was not angry. He found Xu Tianfang and said that he wanted to buy the hospital.
Xu Tianfang said happily: "I know you came back because you wanted to get the hospital, and I just don't want to be the chief anymore. What else do you want to buy in this broken place? If you want it, take it."
In this way, Ma Xiran got his wish and became the owner of Yongkang Medical Center.
In the past, the people in the hospital heard that he was in charge, and everyone came to join him. Under his painstaking management, it didn't take long for the hospital to become popular again.
Moreover, Xu Tianfang was not as skilled as Ma Xiran. After leaving Yongkang Medical Center, his life was very difficult.
Fortunately, Guo was a kind person and often helped her without her husband's knowledge.
On that day, she gave Xu Tianfang another hundred taels of silver. Seeing this, Xu Tianfang asked in surprise, "Where did you get so much silver?"
Guo shi said, "It's Ma Xiran's, I'll take it secretly, you can use it to do some small business!"
"No," Xu Tianfang refused, "I've already received a lot of your favor, and I can't accept it anymore. If I knew, I wouldn't necessarily think so."
Guo shi said: "You used to be good friends, but now you are in trouble, who will help you if he doesn't help you?"
Xu Tianfang had no choice but to accept it. He said gratefully, "Sister-in-law, I can't say enough, I'll repay you tomorrow!"
Xu Tianfang used the hundred taels of silver to start a business, and it can be regarded as the passage of time. In a few years, silver snowballed several times, and he became a famous millionaire in Huizhou City.
Xu Tianfang went to the street that day and accidentally bumped into Ma Xiran. The two looked at each other for a while and suddenly laughed.
Ma Xiran took Xu Tianfang's hand and said, "Let's go and sit at my place."
Seeing that the brothers had reunited, the Guo family immediately slaughtered chickens and sheep to celebrate.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xu Tianfang took out a hundred taels of silver from his arms and said to Guo shi, "Sister-in-law, I have been carrying silver with me for the past few years, just waiting for the opportunity to return it to you."
He also said to Ma Xiran, "Don't blame my sister-in-law, if it wasn't for her, how would I be today?"
Guo shi smiled and said, "My silly brother, if it wasn't for your senior brother's idea, could I steal so much money for you?"
It turned out that when Ma Xiran saw Xu Tianfang's life was bleak, he hated and pitied him. He wanted to help him, and it was difficult for him to come forward, so he asked his wife to help him from time to time.
Xu Tianfang was so grateful that he couldn't say anything. He just held his hand and burst into tears. The brothers drank and rested.
When Ma Xiran woke up, Xu Tianfang had already left and left a letter.
Ma Xiran looked at the handwriting, but it was the familiar handwriting of his master. His heart was shocked, and he hurriedly opened it to take a look:
And the disciples:
You must hate Heaven in your heart.
But I want you to tell you that he is your best friend.
You will surely remember that bloody bone.
Let me tell you, Heaven brought back that bloody bone just to help you prove that you have good medical skills, but I can see that the bone is not stained with human blood.
Thinking of your recent performance, it's not hard to guess your intentions.
Of course, you are very talented, but in order to become famous, it is too dishonest to even deceive your master, and those who study medicine must first learn to be human.
If I hand over the hospital to you, I'm afraid I'll harm the hospital and you.
I explained the difficulty to Tianfang. Although he is not a material for studying medicine, his brain is not stupid.
He helped me design this plan, forcing you to go outside to experience it, and then, when you are in the most difficult time, ask someone to help you, and finally return to the hospital to be the official director...
The biggest casualty of this plan is Tianfang. I hope you can understand his pains for your brother after reading this letter.
Ma Xiran finished reading the letter, stayed for a long time, shouted "my good brother", and rushed out the door...
