When I walked out of my fifth uncle's house, I heard my second uncle and second aunt complaining to each other.
Neither of these two is an easy target.
When Li Quan's new villa is completed , the whole village will be in an uproar. Those who once looked down on Li Quan will be envious and jealous.
Li Quan will also let everyone see whether studying is useful or not.
When I got home, Zhang Daniu had already finished watching and was sitting at the door of the main room drinking tea.
The house is really shabby.
The bumpy mud ground and the adobe walls with countless cracks make it not an exaggeration to describe this home as bare.
When my parents entertain guests, they like to be outside.
Everyone has self-esteem.
The same goes for parents.
It would be very damaging to your self-esteem if your family’s poverty was always seen by guests.
"Daniu, have you seen it?" Li Quan asked with a smile.
"Well, after measuring everything, the entire residential land area is more than 350 square meters. As for the building area, I suggest controlling it to around 120 to 150 square meters. A portion can be reserved for lawn greening, flowers, rockery, fish ponds, etc."
Zhang Daniu gave his own opinion.
"Okay, you're an expert in this area, so it's safe to follow your advice. What's the total cost? How much is it in total?"
Li Quan only cared about paying the money and didn't care about anything else.
This is also a trust in old classmates.
"The total cost, if it's a fine decoration, may be between 550,000 and 600,000. If you want a luxurious decoration, it's a bottomless pit, and it's normal to spend several million."
"It's fine as long as it's well decorated. Too luxurious will attract thieves."
There is more than 560,000 yuan left in Li Quan's card. If the total cost reaches 600,000 yuan, there may still be a shortfall of about 40,000 yuan.
But it doesn’t matter, I will get the commission for the endorsement of weight loss pills next month.
That's a considerable expense.
"If you agree, we can sign a construction contract. I guarantee the quality of the house, and the cost of building the house is generally paid in four installments. The initial construction cost is about 100,000 yuan. The second phase of the house construction cost is about 200,000 to 500,000 yuan. The third phase is the hardening of the wall and the ground, and the landscaping of the courtyard, which is about 80,000 yuan. Finally, after you have accepted the main structure of the building, I will start the decoration, and when the decoration is completed, you will pay the balance of the fine decoration."
Zhang Daniu talked about some of the main provisions of the contract.
Building a house in the countryside is relatively cheap.
"No problem, let's sign the contract now. I'll go back to the city tomorrow and transfer 100,000 yuan to you first." Li Quan readily agreed.
Li Tiezhu and his wife were watching from the side, they were both surprised and happy.
They didn't expect their son to be serious.
"Son, do you have enough money? This is 600,000 yuan." Li Tiezhu pulled his son aside and asked quietly.
"Dad, don't worry. Without the three-point three, your son wouldn't dare to go to Liangshan. When it comes to money, your son knows his limits." Li Quan smiled confidently and comforted his father.
He signed a construction contract with Zhang Daniu, and when he finished the work, it was already past five in the afternoon.
Zhang Daniu was very happy as he got another big job.
Just wait for Li Quan to pay the first installment tomorrow, and then he can lead the team to start work.
Now that this matter is done, there is another important matter that needs to be done.
Dad Li Tiezhu was beaten by Hong the butcher, so he needs treatment.
According to my father's wishes, we want to keep things peaceful.
You'll be fine after resting at home for a while.
Li Quan was not so easy to talk to.
After finally convincing his father, Li Tiezhu finally agreed to let his son receive inpatient treatment at the county people's hospital.
All expenses must be borne by Hong the butcher's family.
…
The next morning, Li Quan took his parents to the county people's hospital for treatment.
My mother went with me to take care of my father.
There were only two buses to the county town, and the one they took was the early one.
As soon as he got in the car, Li Quan saw two familiar faces.
The second son of neighbor Hong the butcher, Hong Qingfeng, was also on this bus with his girlfriend.
In the past two days, the police arrested dozens of Hong family members involved in gangs and crimes, and the entire Dingxiang group has become much quieter. The remaining members of the Hong family who were not arrested are huddled in their homes like mice.
Don't dare to be arrogant again.
After Hong Qingfeng was released from the police station yesterday morning, it was said that he went to the county hospital to visit his father and elder brother who were still receiving treatment.
Seeing that he is carrying a lot of bags today and has brought his girlfriend with him, he should be preparing to return to Shanghai.
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other.
When he saw Li Quan get in the car, his expression immediately became gloomy and his eyes were particularly sharp, revealing a gleam of hatred.
His girlfriend witnessed Li Quan's horror the day before yesterday and shrank back in fear.
"Hong Qingfeng, I took my father to the county people's hospital for treatment today. Does your family have to go to the hospital to pay the medical expenses now, or what should we do?" Li Quan asked bluntly.
"Ha... You beat my dad and my brother like that, and I didn't ask you for medical expenses, but you asked me for them instead. You must be dreaming."
Hong Qingfeng was so angry that he sneered.
"Okay, then I'll wait for the court's verdict and then ask your family for it." Li Quan was too lazy to waste words with this guy.
When the time comes, you can just go to their house and ask for money with the court judgment.
"Li Quan, I advise you not to be so arrogant. You have harmed our Hong family to this extent, and our Hong family will never let it go. Just wait, I will soon let you taste the pain of losing your job."
Hong Qingfeng gritted his teeth.
This neighbor, who was once not even as good as an ant in front of him, actually rode on his head.
How could he swallow this?
"It's all up to you!"
Li Quan shrugged indifferently.
…
More than an hour later, Li Quan took his father to the county people's hospital.
I was just queuing up to register with my father when Dean Zhou got the news and rushed over immediately.
"Doctor Li, what happened to your father?"
Dean Zhou went to Li Quan's house yesterday. He has an excellent memory and had long memorized the appearance of Li Tiezhu and his wife.
At this moment, I recognized it at a glance.
"My dad was beaten up two days ago, so I brought him here for hospital treatment. When the time comes, I hope Dean Zhou will take care of him."
Li Quan couldn't stay here, so he didn't hesitate to use his existing connections.
"Oh, that murderer is so cruel. He could kill even an honest man like your father. It's so hateful. Did you call the police and catch the murderer?"
Dean Zhou asked with concern.
"Well, the murderer has been caught now."
Li Quan nodded.
"Then you can rest assured. I will arrange for a chief physician to give your father the best treatment." Dean Zhou listened carefully. When he heard that the murderer had been caught, he realized that the medical expenses would definitely be borne by the murderer.
Then just go for treatment and don't be afraid of spending money.
Those who can become deans basically start from the bottom as interns and climb up step by step.
Understand all these things.
"Doctor Li is a special talent in our county. How can we let you queue up here to register? I will arrange for the chief physician to treat your father directly." Dean Zhou looked up and down at Li Tiezhu and found that Li Tiezhu's one leg was barely touching the ground. "Is your leg injured?"
"He was hit on the face and chest, and his legs were the most serious. He couldn't get out of bed for two days." Li Quan knew what Director Zhou meant and asked about his main condition so that he could arrange for a specialist doctor for him.
"Well, let's take your father to the orthopedics department for diagnosis first. Then I will arrange for the chief physician of internal medicine to check whether your father has any internal injuries." Dean Zhou immediately took Li Quan and others to the orthopedics department.
The medical staff following the dean also knew how to be attentive and directly pushed over an emergency bed for Li Tiezhu to lie on.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Tiezhu had never enjoyed such super-distinguished special treatment.
I thought to myself that my son was so proud.
Their faces were also full of light.
I am proud of my son from the bottom of my heart.
Soon, under the personal arrangement of Dean Zhou, Li Tiezhu was given a green channel and was diagnosed and treated by the chief physician of the orthopedics department.
After the results of the MRI examination came out, there was nothing serious wrong with my father's head and chest, just minor skin injuries.
The ligaments in the leg were damaged, but the meniscus was fine.
This result is almost exactly the same as Li Quan's diagnosis.
This also shows that when Li Quan's three diagnostic skills of observation, auscultation and palpation are used together, the diagnostic accuracy is no worse than that of advanced instruments such as MRI.
After arranging his father to be hospitalized, Li Quan, led by Dean Zhou, went straight to the library.
After he tasted the sweetness of reading that antique medical book last time, antique medical books are now what he is most interested in.
Because after reading an author's original work, you can gain 100 points of favorability.
Yesterday, Director Zhou told him that the County People’s Hospital had two to three hundred ancient medical books, which was too tempting for Li Quan.
"Doctor Li, this is the library of our hospital. It has more than 10,000 books. You can borrow them at any time if you like." Dean Zhou took Li Quan into the hospital library.
The library manager is an old man in his sixties.
The few wisps of sparse silver hair were meticulously groomed, and he wore a pair of red-framed reading glasses. He was dressed very simply and neatly, and he was wearing a retro Tang suit.
An air of an old scholar naturally emanates from this librarian.
"Old Shi, this is Doctor Li from the Magic City Huier Hospital. He is a distinguished guest of our hospital. When he comes to our hospital library to borrow books, you will handle it as a special person."
Dean Zhou greets the librarian.
"OK!"
The administrator nodded.
"This is Dean Zhou's teacher! Hello!" Li Quan quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, young man! I dare not be Dean Zhou's teacher. My surname is Shi, and my given name is Gui." The librarian explained while shaking hands with Li Quan.
"Eh..." When Li Quan shook hands with the old man, both of them let out a light "eh" at the same time.
They all seemed particularly surprised.
The two looked at each other with eyes full of shock and inquiry.
Especially Shi Gui, when he looked at Li Quan, his eyes were bright and full of divine light.
"Shi Gui, please be careful. Li Quan is a VIP of our hospital. Don't hurt him." Dean Zhou seemed to know that Shi Gui's grip was quite strong.
He quickly stopped him.
"The old man's grip is really strong."
Li Quan nodded.
The two of them stopped at that point and let go of each other's hands.
Shi Gui stared at Li Quan and said meaningfully, "Young man, you are able to become a distinguished guest of our hospital at such a young age. You are really capable. If you want to borrow books in the future, just come to me."
"Haha, I feel embarrassed by your praise. Please take care of me when I borrow books from you in the future."
Li Quan laughed and followed Dean Zhou inside to look for medical books.
When he shook hands with Shi Gui just now, he actually sensed the mysterious energy he gained from practicing the Five Animal Exercises in Shi Gui's palm.
And it is the kind that is unfathomable.
The mysterious energy in Li Quan's body is currently only as thick as half a telephone line.
It became so thick because he accidentally gained 10 skill points last time.
The mysterious energy within Shi Gui's body is as vast as the ocean.
Li Quan only has mysterious energy as thick as a telephone line, but he already has the strength equivalent to a provincial Sanda champion. The mysterious energy in Shi Gui's body is as powerful as the ocean, so how terrifying will his strength be?
Li Quan was full of awe for this librarian.
This person is probably the legendary Sweeping Monk.
I never thought that such a great master was hidden in the small county of Mawang.
"Doctor Li, these are the Chinese medicine books that our county people's hospital has collected over the years. They are quite old, and some of them were destroyed when the war spread throughout our country. Only a small part of them has survived."
Dean Zhou pointed to the books on a bookshelf and introduced them.
The words were full of regret.
Before China was liberated, foreign invaders slaughtered Chinese people at will and robbed treasures and antiques.
Anything that cannot be taken away or is considered to be of no value will be burned to ashes.
It's really bad.
China suffered a lot of bullying back then.
Every Chinese person is filled with anger when recalling that painful period of history. The Chinese people will never forget the pain they have suffered.
"Compendium of Materia Medica!"
Li Quan casually picked up an ancient medical book with a yellowed cover and discovered that it was a very common Compendium of Materia Medica on the market.
It's a very popular medical book.
I opened it and took a look. It was still written in traditional Chinese characters. It should be a book from the Republic of China period.
The content is not much different from the one Li Quan was reading a few days ago.
He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
I flipped through several more books and they were all similar.
Basically, it is available in the market. And it has been translated into simplified Chinese. It is not that difficult to read.
"Doctor Li, all the Chinese medicine books are here. There are about two to three thousand volumes in total. Take your time to choose. As long as you find something suitable, you can borrow it to read. I have some other things to deal with, so I'll leave you for now."
Dean Zhou had personally accompanied him for such a long time, which was already enough face for Li Quan.
"Okay, you're busy!"
Li Quan smiled gratefully.
He knew that if he took advantage of others now, it would be difficult for him to refuse them when they asked him for something in the future.
However, what Dean Zhou asked him to do should be related to medical skills.
That's nothing.
After Dean Zhou left, Li Quan continued to flip through the books one by one, looking for treasures.
After searching for more than an hour, Li Quan was already dizzy, but he finally found six medical books that he liked and two notebooks that he thought were better.
There may be more "treasures" in the remaining books, but I can only come back to hunt for treasures next time.
Because Li Quan had already bought a train ticket for 1 p.m.
"Senior Shi, I would like to borrow these medical books. Could you please register them for me?"
Li Quan placed several selected medical books on the registration table.
He was very in awe of Shi Gui.
"Taiping Shenghui Fang, Ru Men Shi Qin... The medical books selected by the young man are very unique." Shi Gui flipped through them casually and said with a smile.
"I like this kind of ancient medical book." Li Quan laughed dryly.
"Well, times have changed. There are very few young doctors like you who like Chinese medicine. I am here to guard the library, but I have never seen any doctor come in to read the Chinese medicine books over there. Even if there are one or two young doctors who occasionally read Chinese medicine books, they only skim through them and read the more common Compendium of Materia Medica and Pharmacopoeia."
Shi Gui registered Li Quan while chatting with him.
"Young man, you have selected so many medical books at once, including these two volumes of notes. I can tell that they are of extremely high quality. This shows that you have put your heart into it and that you really understand Chinese medicine."
From Shi Gui's words, we can tell that he must also be a hidden master of traditional Chinese medicine.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to know these medical books so well.
"Young man, why do you like to read Chinese medicine books?" Shi Gui asked again.
"I used to read TCM books purely to get a place to work in the hospital. Later, I started to like reading TCM books because I really liked TCM. I think TCM is profound and is not inferior to Western medicine, which is popular among Chinese people. In fact, in many fields, TCM is hundreds or thousands of years ahead of Western medicine."
After Li Quan finished speaking, he paused.
"There is another reason. My teacher wants to revive the declining traditional Chinese medicine. Someone has to do this. I happen to have the ability and I am still young, so I want to contribute to Chinese medicine."
Li Quan was very frank when communicating with this 'sweeping monk'.
The other person's eyes are sharper than a knife, as if they can see through the deepest part of a person's heart.
If he lied or said something insincere, he would probably be discovered immediately by the other party.
"That's interesting! Since you like ancient medical books, I'll lend you half of the incomplete volume. But there is one request: you can't lend it to a third person to read, and you can't damage it. Remember to return it to me after you finish reading it."
Shi Gui took out an old medical book woven from tortoise shells from a wooden box behind him.
Then he handed it over to Li Quan with great care.
"Senior, why did you lend me such a precious medical book?"
When Li Quan saw the appearance of this medical book, he was particularly excited because he found that this medical book seemed to be even older than the "Notes after Viewing the Cranial Fontanel Sutra" that he had read not long ago.
As far as Li Quan knows, this kind of bamboo slips woven with tortoise shells should belong to before the unification of the Qin Dynasty.
He looked at the words on the tortoise shell, and it was indeed large seal script.
It seems to be something from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"Like the young man, I also want to contribute a little to Chinese medicine." Shi Gui imitated Li Quan's tone.
"Haha, senior is such an interesting person. Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the medical book? Or secretly show it to other people." Li Quan asked with a smile.
"I believe my eyes. You won't." The old man stared at Li Quan, speaking every word with a serious expression.
"Thank you for your trust, senior. I will definitely live up to your trust." Li Quan also solemnly took the tortoise shell book. Holding it in his hand, he felt the weight of the book.
Ordinary people cannot recognize the large seal characters engraved on it.
This is a very ancient script.
"Senior, you should have read this medical book, right?" Li Quan asked tentatively.
"This is my translation of the original text. There may be errors and omissions. You can bear with it. There is a special translation between the large seal script and modern simplified Chinese characters."
Shi Gui glanced at Li Quan and threw another notebook over.
These are the notes made by Shi Gui himself.
Li Quan was overjoyed when he received it, and flipped through a few pages. The handwriting was neat and powerful.
Seeing the handwriting is like seeing the person, it is indeed Shi Gui's handwriting.
"Senior is indeed a master of traditional Chinese medicine. I am sorry for my disrespect."
Li Quan bowed.
"I hate these fancy formalities the most. Stop using them in the future. If you have nothing else to say, you can leave." Shi Gui waved his hand impatiently to send him away.
"Goodbye!"
Li Quan also left as soon as he said he would.
"Wait, where did you get the true energy in your body? Who taught you?" Shi Gui stopped him.
"So that mysterious energy is called Qi. No one taught me, I just cultivated it myself. The Qi in your body is more than a thousand times stronger than mine. How did you get it?"
Li Quan finally knew the name of this mysterious energy.
The martial arts masters from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty seemed to call the special energy cultivated in the body "gongli" or "internal force".
Shi Gui called this special energy "zhenqi", but it is not known whether it is the same thing.
"Forget it. I knew you wouldn't tell me even if I asked you. If you see the person who taught you how to practice this kind of true qi, please tell him that Shi Gui from Mawang County really wants to meet him."
Shi Gui did not respond to Li Quan's question.
"You want to meet the person who taught me how to practice true qi? I advise you to forget it." Li Quan's expression was very strange.
He learned the Five Animal Exercises breathing method from Hua Tuo.
If Shi Gui wants to see that person, he may have to go to the underworld.
That's only if Hua Tuo's soul has not been reincarnated, otherwise it would be even more difficult to see it.
"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell your master what I told you to say." A terrifying aura burst out from Shi Gui's body, and an invisible hurricane quickly formed with him as the center.
He seemed to be the center of the tornado.
This kind of power is really terrifying.
Li Quan even felt that the opponent could kill him in an instant with just a finger.
I used to think that Sanda champions, Taekwondo masters and the like were the most powerful people in the world.
After Li Quan practiced the Five Animal Exercises, he discovered that this was not the case.
The Shi Gui whom he met here today brought him a great spiritual shock.
China is one of the oldest civilizations in the world.
And it has always stood tall in the East.
Despite repeated regime changes and countless rises and falls, this great nation has always existed in the world and has repeatedly become the world's top nation.
With such a profound historical heritage, it is normal for this great nation to have some truly powerful people who are unknown and hidden from the world.
After coming out of the library, Li Quan looked at the tortoise shell book in his hand.
He knew part of the Great Seal Script, but not all of it.
He recognized the title.
"Bian Que Neijing".
Unexpectedly, this medical book turned out to be the medical book of Bian Que. According to legend, Bian Que wrote Neijing and Waijing, but unfortunately they were all lost.
The "Nanjing" that exists today was written by later generations under the name of Bian Que.
It shouldn't be considered an original work.
"Almost no medical books written by Bian Que exist in the world. If this scroll of tortoise shell bamboo slips was really written by Bian Que, it is very likely written by Bian Que himself. It is a unique copy and also the original work."
Li Quan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
However, only fragments of this book remain and it is not complete.
Li Quan didn't know exactly how much was missing. He would have to wait until he finished reading it to find out.
He did not say goodbye to his parents again, but just took a few secret glances at them from the window outside the ward.
I believe that with the care of Director Zhou, my father will definitely receive good treatment here.
Li Quan saw that there was not much time left before the train departed, so he hurried to the station.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
"Could it be that Dean Zhou knew I was leaving and called me?" He didn't go to say goodbye to Dean Zhou just now.
He is the kind of person who hates trouble and courtesy the most.
I took out my cell phone and saw that it was He Youlong calling.
"Brother He, is there anything you need from me?"
"Brother Li, haven't you checked your Douyin account these past two days? Something has happened. A large number of unidentified black fans have left messages in the Douyin videos you posted. They have been smearing and attacking our diet pills. This has caused an extremely bad impact."
He Youlong is usually a very calm and collected person.
There was a hint of panic at this moment.
He had high hopes for the weight loss pills he collaborated on with Li Quan, and the investment was also huge.
Seeing that the situation is very good.
But something went wrong at this critical moment, and he was naturally very annoyed.
"Is there such a thing? I happened to be back to my hometown these two days. I'll check it out right away." Li Quan hung up He Youlong's call and quickly turned on the mobile data network on his phone.
I've been in my hometown these two days, and there's no 4G signal, so I can't access the Internet at all.
I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen just two days after I returned to my hometown.
There must be someone maliciously slandering and attacking him .
