Chapter 310: Village Tyrant Seeks His Own Death
Without further ado, Li Quan helped his father sit down inside the house, then carefully rolled up his father's trouser legs to check his injuries.
"Ouch...be gentle!"
Li Tiezhu screamed in pain and couldn't bear it.
His cries of pain made Li Quan feel particularly distressed, and he hated the butcher Hong who beat him up.
Butcher Hong is actually his neighbor.
As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. We live next to each other, so we should help each other.
The Hong family, on the other hand, relied on the power of their clan and their own strength, which was stronger than that of the Li Quan family, so they bullied their neighbors at will.
Even directly injuring people.
This kind of lawless behavior is extremely arrogant.
"Dad, please bear with it. I have to check if you have any fractures first." Li Quan studied medicine and knew that the pain level of a bone injury would be five to eight times higher than that of a muscle injury, and three to five times higher than that of a superficial skin injury.
This is related to the pain nerves distributed on the surface of bones.
The pain nerves on the surface of bones are more sensitive than the pain nerves in muscles.
Even a small amount of pain will be magnified many times.
Then it goes straight to the brain.
I believe everyone has heard the idiom - pain deep into the bone marrow.
This idiom was originally just a metaphor used by the ancients to describe extreme hatred or sadness.
The ancients had limited scientific knowledge and considered the pain of broken bones to be the most severe pain.
Some even believe that the pain that reaches the bones is the most painful.
In fact, this is not scientific.
There are actually no nerves distributed inside bones. Pain nerves are generally distributed on the surface of bones and periosteum.
The reason why the ancients believed that pain in the bones was the most severe pain in the world is that after a bone is broken, severe pain will occur. The injured person will not only feel pain when walking and moving his limbs, but will also feel pain at rest even if he lies in bed motionless.
Perhaps it was this kind of quiet pain that made the ancients believe that pain that penetrates the bone marrow was the most intense pain in the world.
Li Quan's movements became more gentle and careful. If Dad's leg bone was really broken by Hong the butcher, he would have to lie still immediately. Then he would find a way to fix the injured leg and rush him to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
If the broken bone damages the periosteum, nerves, or blood vessels, it will be a big trouble.
No matter how good Li Quan's medical skills are, he can't cure it.
By then, there is a high possibility that Li Tiezhu will become disabled.
Finally, I saw the external injuries.
There is a large bruise on the outside of the left knee, with purple bruises.
Li Quan touched and pressed carefully with his hands, and Li Tiezhu gasped and cried out in pain.
Fortunately, based on the initial diagnosis by feel, it should be the ligament in the knee joint that is injured.
I wonder if the meniscus is injured?
The meniscus is inside, so the chance of being kicked is very small.
If the meniscus is really injured, the treatment will be very troublesome and the recovery period will be extremely long.
In addition, I cannot guarantee that there are no bone fractures or the like.
This requires sending Dad to the hospital for an X-ray examination. If necessary, a more accurate MRI examination can be performed.
"Dad, I felt it and it seems like there is no fracture. I'll feel your pulse again and make a further diagnosis."
Li Quan's pulse diagnosis skills have now reached the master level.
How powerful is it?
The pulse can be used for detailed diagnosis and to discern the specific conditions of the flow of Qi and blood in every organ or part of the human body.
In Western medicine, taking the pulse is nonsense.
What they don’t know is that taking the pulse is actually checking the circulation of Qi and blood in the human body.
Of course, the great Chinese medicine masters not only check the circulation of qi and blood, but also check more profound things. Li Quan has not yet reached that level.
Even so, Li Quan can now diagnose the patient's condition by taking the pulse, and the accuracy is no less than that of the hospital's many advanced instruments.
Especially when it comes to diagnosing injuries such as bone diseases, it is even more accurate.
As for his ability to diagnose impending illnesses by feeling the pulse, it has surpassed all the advanced instruments developed by Western medicine. MRI, electrocardiogram, B-ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound, all have to stand aside.
However, with the continuous advancement of human technology, the genetic tests currently recognized by the medical community may be able to diagnose human diseases in advance in the near future.
From many aspects, we can also see that all things in the world are interconnected and all roads lead to Rome.
Although the history of Western medicine is short, it is constantly progressing and catching up with the pace of traditional Chinese medicine.
For example, the selective immunotherapy that Aixen is currently researching is also catching up with the pace of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Kid, are you still learning such an outdated method of Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis in school?" Li Tiezhu, like most people, believes that Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis is outdated.
Not to mention farmers like Li Tiezhu who have a low level of education, even some doctors believe that pulse diagnosis is much more backward than various advanced instruments of Western medicine.
All we can say is that they treated our ancestors' treasures as garbage, allowing the national quintessence passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years to be covered in dust.
The reason why pulse diagnosis is considered rubbish is that they don't know how to do it.
In fact, it is much more advanced than Western medicine’s diagnostic methods.
"Dad, don't underestimate Chinese medicine's pulse diagnosis. It's not backward at all. It's much more advanced than the many advanced instruments in the hospital."
Li Quan laid his father's hand flat, and then pressed the Cun, Guan and Chi points using standard pulse diagnosis techniques.
Feel Dad's pulse carefully.
After a while, Li Quan's frown relaxed slightly. It was basically confirmed that the meniscus was not injured. The blood circulation around the periosteum was smooth, which meant that there was no problem.
The injured parts should be the ligaments, bone surface, muscles and skin.
The injury was much lighter than I thought.
Even without any treatment, you will slowly recover as long as you rest for a period of time.
By taking his father's pulse, Li Quan also checked his father's internal organs and head.
Because Dad got punched in the face and in the chest.
These areas can cause serious internal injuries.
"How's the situation?" Li Tiezhu complained that the pulse diagnosis method was backward, but now he couldn't help but ask his son about the situation after the examination.
"Maybe you have good physical fitness and strong ability to withstand blows, so the injury is not serious. It can be considered a minor injury." Li Quan gave the diagnosis result.
"That's good, that's good! Your mother urged me to go to the hospital. What kind of place is a hospital? It's a very expensive place. It costs a lot to go to the hospital. It seems that there is no need to go to the hospital."
Li Tiezhu was actually very happy after hearing the diagnosis results given by his son.
I think it can save a lot of medical expenses.
For the poor farmers, medical treatment is expensive and they are afraid of it, which is the real mentality of almost all farmers.
"Dad, it was Hong the butcher who injured you. Why did you pay for your medical treatment? Today, my son is back, so I must avenge you. Not only must I fight back, but I must also make the Hong family pay for all the medical expenses, nutrition expenses, and lost wages..."
After all, Li Quan had worked in a large hospital in the city for more than a year, so he had seen the world.
He is not as easy to talk to as Li Tiezhu.
He even knew by heart all the various compensation costs.
"Alas... my son, our Li family is weak and cannot beat the strong force of the Hong family. Look, my injury is not serious anyway, so let's forget about it." Li Tiezhu was not a coward, but he was worried that fighting to the death with the Hong family would harm his son.
For adults, sometimes choosing to endure is not cowardice, but a mature expression of responsibility for the family.
"What's wrong with the Hong family's big thick legs? I can break them anyway." Li Quan raised his eyelids, his tone full of strong confidence.
The Hong family from the countryside is at best a village bully, and he really doesn't take them seriously.
How could Li Quan be afraid of a rural Hong family when he dared to fight extremely powerful opponents like Vice President Min, Ma Wangcai, and Yuanyang Hospital?
"Dad, don't worry. I'm no longer the brat I was back then. I've gained experience and skills in the city. I've learned how to behave and developed the necessary calmness and strategy. I won't act rashly."
Li Quan knew that if he wanted to seek revenge on the Hong family, he had to convince his parents first.
Otherwise, if he were to fight the enemy in the front and his parents would just give in behind, that would be really nonsense.
After hearing what his son said, Li Tiezhu couldn't help but start looking at his son again.
It was only then that he discovered that his son had changed a lot.
Although he was not dressed well, the wisdom in his eyes and the firmness and confidence that only great people have showed that his son had made great progress.
"Gou Wa'er, Daddy is very happy that you have made such great progress. The eldest and youngest sons of Hong the Butcher came back together two days ago. I heard that the eldest son of Hong the Butcher made a lot of money outside. It just so happened that the youngest son of Hong the Butcher took the national exam not long ago and passed. And he was assigned to...I think he became an official in the Health Bureau."
"Well, the two brothers want to build two large townhouses. They think their own homestead is too small, so they want to expand to our side. And right away they want to occupy our vegetable garden and the yard of the left house. I definitely won't agree to that."
"His son has made a name for himself, but my son, Li Tiezhu, has no future? You and Hong Qingfeng, the youngest son of Hong the Butcher, are both studying in the Magic City. His youngest son passed the civil service exam and became an official, which is really impressive. But you are not bad either, didn't you also get a job in a big hospital? You will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future and come back to build a big villa."
"Besides, these lands were passed down from your grandfather. How can I give them to the Hong family so easily? If I really give them up, I will be sorry for my descendants. So, I told Hong the butcher that I would not agree even if you put a knife to my neck."
Li Tiezhu recounted the whole story.
Li Quan felt furious after hearing this.
The Hong family has made money and wants to build a big villa, so they can expand to the other side.
The reason why he wanted to take the land of Li Quan's family was that he thought the Li family was easy to bully. Because Tang Wanxiong lived to the right of Hong the butcher's house.
The Tang family is the second largest clan in the Dingxiang group, with eleven households and an equally large population.
In addition, Tang Wanxiong is a village cadre with a high status.
Does the Hong family dare to seize the Tang family’s land?
Since they didn't dare to seize Tang Wanxiong's land, they could only pick on the weak ones. They set their sights on their neighbor on the left, Li Quan's family.
Bang!
The father and son were discussing this matter when they heard a loud bang .
Bang!
Crash, crash!
It seemed that the gate of Li Quan's house was kicked down by someone.
"Li Tiezhu, get out here right now. I heard your son came back from being in such a mess outside?"
A mocking and arrogant shout rang out from outside.
Li Quan's mother shuddered with fear and her face turned pale.
Li Tiezhu's face also changed drastically, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
The Hong family is too powerful. They have been the dominant force in the village for many years and have accumulated prestige for a long time.
There is no family in the village that is not afraid of the Hong family.
Li Tiezhu was always very careful when dealing with the Hong family. Even if he suffered some losses, he would just swallow his anger.
This time the Hong family was really going too far, and land was the foundation of farmers, so Li Tiezhu did not agree to the Hong family's unreasonable demands.
"How dare they! I was just about to go find them, but I didn't expect that after beating someone up, they would dare to come and kill me again. They came just in time. I wanted to deal with these bastards, but there might be some legal risks. Now... hehe, they are asking for a beating."
Li Quan stood up suddenly and walked out directly.
Li Tiezhu quickly asked his wife to support him and limped out of the house.
In the yard, butcher Hong, along with his two sons, wife, and daughter-in-law, were forcing their way into the house with ferocious looks on their faces.
When Butcher Hong saw Li Quan coming out of the house, he looked him up and down, and the contempt on his face suddenly became even stronger.
"Gou Wa Zi, you said you also studied in the Magic City. My son Qing Feng has passed the civil service exam and is now an official in the Health Bureau of the Magic City. Why are you doing so badly? Look at your clothes. They are worse than those worn by a farmer like me. You studied in a fake university, right?"
"Ha ha……"
Butcher Hong deliberately showed off his youngest son's identity in order to intimidate Li Quan and Li Tiezhu.
Hong Qingfeng looked gentle and clean, wearing glasses, a suit, leather shoes, a striped shirt, and a tie. That was really the standard style of a "leader".
At least in the eyes of country people, people who dress this way are either rich or noble.
Either the boss or the head of a department.
Apart from anything else, Hong Qingfeng's appearance is indeed ten levels higher than Li Quan's.
Look at the other young man standing next to Hong Qingfeng, he is about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a big beer belly, wearing a white casual suit, no tie, and a thick dog chain around his neck.
Oh, no, it's a thick gold chain.
It's as thick as your little finger.
The leather shoes are polished to a shinier shine than a mirror.
He wore several big gold rings on his hands and a gold watch, looking like a big boss.
Real rich people don’t dress like this.
They prefer low-key luxury.
For example, you may wear a watch worth tens of millions, but its appearance is not much different from that of an ordinary watch.
Only rich people of the same level can recognize the value of that money.
In addition, a piece of bright green jadeite hanging around his neck could be a treasure worth millions.
Instead of dressing like a nouveau riche like the eldest son of Hong the butcher.
If a truly rich person dressed like this to go out and meet friends, people would just laugh at him.
From this we can see that even if Hong Qingbao, the eldest son of Hong the butcher, really made some money from business, it would be limited.
After seeing the two sons of Hong the butcher, Li Quan felt more confident.
So what if Hong Qingfeng passed the civil service exam? Many people pass the civil service exam every year. There are as many as seven or eight million civil servants in China.
It doesn’t mean that every civil servant can have a bright future.
More than that, they are no different from ordinary people.
I am just doing the most ordinary administrative work.
Hong Qingfeng had just passed the civil service exam, so even if he joined the Health Bureau, he would most likely be a small clerk.
What kind of official is this?
If placed in ancient times, he would be a clerk at best, right?
Where do the clerks who have just entered the bureaucratic system get their power when they haven't even gained a firm foothold yet?
I really don’t know what the Hong family has to brag about.
Of course, being able to pass the civil service exam and work as an officer in the Health Bureau is indeed a matter of honor in the countryside.
That's all.
"Dog boy, I believe your rat-like cowardly father has told you everything. You have to agree today, whether you agree or not."
Butcher Hong had a ferocious face and looked vicious.
"Why, if I don't agree, do you want to beat me up too?" Li Quan suppressed his anger and murderous intent. His phone had already quietly turned on the recording function.
Take photos of all these people's actions.
"Hey, I've killed thousands of pigs, if not tens of thousands. I've never killed a human. If you two don't appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for being rude and slaughtering your whole family."
Butcher Hong is not a person who does not know the law. He said these words mostly to scare Li Quan's family.
Unexpectedly, this played into Li Quan's hands.
"You, you dare? Now we live in a society ruled by law, killing someone means paying with your life." Li Quan said in shock and fear.
Seeing Li Quan's timid and fearful appearance, Hong the butcher and his family couldn't help but laugh even more contemptuously.
"Then see if I dare. Let me tell you, my family is rich, and my youngest son Qingfeng is an official. Now my family is powerful. Even if I really kill your whole family, it doesn't matter. At most, I can spend some money and use some connections to settle it."
Butcher Hong threatened in a domineering manner.
"You, do you really dare to kill my whole family?" Li Quan retreated repeatedly, while Hong the butcher pressed on step by step.
His two sons stood behind and looked at Li Quan who was retreating as if he were a clown.
"coward!"
Hong Qingfeng couldn't help but curse.
Hong Qingfeng is not married yet. The young woman standing next to him, who is dressed very seductively, should be his girlfriend.
Hearing this, the woman also showed a mocking smile and said, "Qingfeng, you really didn't lie to me. Your family has a very high status in the village. But your neighbor is as cowardly as a slug. I thought his father was beaten, and he would at least yell a few times when he rushed back, but I didn't expect him to be so cowardly. He is a coward, no wonder he looks like this. In my opinion, he doesn't look like a man."
This seductively dressed woman spoke in a very sarcastic and harsh manner.
"Haha... Haven't you heard that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, but will a mouse's son dig holes? My father gave birth to me and my brother, and we are both very promising, we are dragons. And his family has a mouse father, do you still want him to give birth to a dragon? Naturally, he can only give birth to a mouse son."
Hong Qingfeng laughed.
