Chapter 134: Think about Xiaowei's dream

Around noon, several villagers whom Ye Rufeng had treated in the village arrived.

Some of them had already recovered and only needed some consolidation, while the more serious case was the patient with myocardial infarction. Ye Rufeng was also feeling his way across the river by treating him. To put it bluntly, he was using this middle-aged man as a guinea pig for experiments.

This uncle is a recipient of the Five Guarantees (a government welfare program for the elderly, disabled, and orphans), with no children and no money.

Ye Rufeng clearly told him that the treatment would be risky, but he didn't care at all.

Treatment might offer a chance of survival; without it, death is inevitable.

During this period, Ye Rufeng has been developing a prescription for this myocardial infarction, adjusting the dosage according to the patient's condition.

Every patient's physical condition is different. This uncle probably has gastrointestinal problems because he lives alone and has a rather haphazard diet. That's why the prescriptions Ye Rufeng used on others never seemed to work for him.

He kept complaining of stomach acid, and his medication was adjusted several times without any improvement.

This time, after adjusting the ingredients of Bai Zhi, Ye Rufeng suddenly understood and changed the medicine yesterday.

The uncle came over to report the situation.

I had one last night and another this morning, and the stomach discomfort has mostly disappeared.

Hearing this feedback, Ye Rufeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Then this time we made the right choice."

Unexpectedly, this difficult problem was solved by a young girl named Bai Zhi.

Ye Rufeng's eyes were filled with pride.

I felt increasingly gratified.

Uncle Yang grasped Ye Rufeng's hand, deeply grateful, "Dr. Zhang, thank you so much for all the trouble you've gone to for my illness."

You're welcome, this is what I do.

Seeing the young people cleaning in the fenced yard, the group asked Ye Rufeng, "Do you have guests?"

Ye Rufeng pointed to Bai Zhi sweeping the floor not far away and proudly introduced, "That's my granddaughter. She and her boyfriend came to pick me up."

"Huh? So you mean you're leaving here?" Uncle Yang looked surprised.

"Yes, it's time to go." Ye Rufeng looked at the villagers and said, "We'll meet again someday."

Bai Zhi saw the villagers at the door and greeted them with a smile, "Grandpa, do we have guests?"

"Please come in, everyone."

Ye Rufeng invited the villagers in and took their pulses one by one. He prescribed medicine for those who needed to continue taking it, and only gave some instructions on how to take care of themselves in the future for those who did not need to continue treatment.

After the villagers left, Ye Rufeng said to them, "We're leaving tomorrow morning. Pack your things quickly."

"Don't touch any large items that might come in later."

"Where are the medicinal herbs?" Bai Zhi asked, looking at the bags of medicinal herbs piled up in the room.

"Leave the herbs here, and let Lao Yang handle them later. Let him make some money to buy medicine."

Ye Rufeng's supply of medicinal herbs is incomplete. Often, when he writes a prescription, the patient has to go to the town's pharmacy to buy the missing herbs.

So he simply started prescribing medicine.

........

After the thunderstorm, the weather cleared up, and Lu Ye suggested sleeping in the courtyard that night.

After all, Doctor Ye doesn't like him and won't invite him to stay in his house, so he might as well be more self-aware and solve the problem himself.

According to normal astronomical calculations, thunderstorms usually last for three days...

Ye Rufeng glanced at the young man carrying wheat straw to make the bed, ignored him, and called Xie Zheng into the house.

The sheets he had hung out to dry on the fence were dry, so he took them and spread them on the wheat straw.

The weather is fine tonight, without even a dark cloud, and there's no sign of thunderstorms at all.

Lu Ye couldn't stay in bed any longer when he woke up around 10 o'clock.

He got up and first exercised in the yard. Then, without realizing it, he walked to Bai Zhi's door and paced around.

The simple door was tightly closed. He stood at the doorway, but couldn't hear any sound. She seemed to be asleep.

He didn't dare disturb her, and just stood at the door, still feeling content.

However, this peaceful atmosphere was broken by the voice he least wanted to hear, "Lu Ye, what are you doing?"

Lu Ye frowned slightly, turned around and walked towards the straw bed, replying in a low voice, "Nothing."

"You scoundrel." Xie Zheng glared at him, threateningly.

“Let me tell you, if Grandpa Ye finds out you have designs on Bai Zhi, he’ll break your legs.”

"Mind your own business."

Lu Ye lay down on the wheat straw in a huff.

Xie Zheng snorted coldly and went to the outhouse.

After coming out, he was about to go back inside, but when he reached the door, he turned back and lay down next to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye moved aside in disgust, "What are you doing?"

"Mind your own business."

Xie Zheng lay flat on the wheat straw and pulled the sheet covering Lu Ye onto himself.

He put his arms behind his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and took a deep breath.

"It's been a long time since I slept outdoors."

After a while, he glanced at the man beside him and recalled, "Do you remember when we were kids, we went hunting rabbits in the wild and got lost, so we just lay in the mountains all night?"

Lu Ye naturally remembered, his deep eyes filled with memories, "That night, the stars were just as bright as they are now."

"There were five of us back then. Chen Laosan was like a woman. He was so scared when he heard a pheasant calling in the middle of the night that he almost wet his pants. But Shen Qian and Xiao Wei were so brave and weren't scared at all."

Hearing Xie Zheng's complaint, Lu Ye chimed in, "Chen Laosan has been timid since he was a child, and he still is. He jumps up at the sight of a dead rat."

"However, that kid is smarter than all of us; he's going down the research path."

“What’s wrong with the research path? My parents are top researchers, aren’t they? Didn’t they all give their money to the country? We haven’t seen them for years, what’s so strange about that?” Xie Zheng’s eyes sparkled as he mentioned his parents. He sighed, “I still remember when my dad and his family were still living at home. They almost broke my leg that time.”

At this point, Xie Zheng gritted his teeth.

"That brat Shen Qian, she made sure at first that we wouldn't tell her parents that we took them out, but she betrayed me and made me get beaten up. Someone like her is now a military doctor. The military's vetting process is too lenient."

"Xiao Wei is the best. She may seem gentle and weak, but she is actually more resilient and has her own opinions than anyone else."

Lu Ye chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Wei is the strongest and most opinionated."

Upon hearing his words, Xie Zheng's expression changed instantly. He turned to look at him with a cold gaze and said, "Lu Ye, you are not worthy to mention her."

Lu Ye met his gloomy eyes and patiently advised, "Old Xie, it's time for you to move on. Xiao Wei wouldn't want to see you like this in heaven."

"I told you, you're not qualified to mention her!"

"Xie Zheng, calm down!"

"I can't calm down." Xie Zheng punched Lu Ye in the face.

Lu Ye was hit, but he didn't fight back. He kept looking at Xie Zheng, trying to comfort him, "You can hit me, but I hope you can calm down and think about it. Your current state is not suitable for creating music. If you can't get out of this and keep living in hatred, the music you make will be dark. Nobody wants to listen to negative things."

"You're lecturing me now?" Xie Zheng punched Lu Ye again.

Lu Ye wiped his slapped lip and continued, "Think about Xiao Wei's dreams. What you should be doing now is carrying on with her dreams, not holding me back."
