I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 297 - 131: Paroxysmal Tachycardia

Lu Xuan, who was still eating breakfast, was startled when the boss suddenly grabbed him, causing the meat bun he had just picked up with his chopsticks to fall to the ground and roll away irretrievably.

Turning his head, Lu Xuan saw it was the boss who had mentioned earlier that he would bring his elderly mother to the Health Center for a check-up. Frowning, he asked, "What’s wrong?"

"A kindergarten teacher at Cow Eating Grass seems to have a health issue. She looks really unwell, and I heard people saying she’s about to die."

"What’s happening?"

"I don’t know either. I just noticed some commotion inside and asked about it."

"Dr. Lu, you should go take a look. The teacher’s condition seems quite serious; many customers are too scared to stay in Cow Eating Grass."

Lu Xuan looked in the direction the boss was pointing and indeed saw many people hastily leaving, carrying their things, looking a bit distressed, whispering among themselves.

Lu Xuan’s expression changed. After exchanging a glance with Ji Xiuwen, he quickly put down his chopsticks: "Let’s go and have a look."

With that, he got up and ran towards Cow Eating Grass.

Ji Xiuwen didn’t delay, shouting to the breakfast shop owner, "Boss, don’t clean up yet. I’ll be back soon."

Before the breakfast shop owner could react, Lu Xuan and Ji Xiuwen had already run out of sight.

However, seeing another shop owner present, he asked, "Old Wu, what’s going on?"

"Dr. Lu ran off to save someone. He said not to clean up yet because they’ll be back to eat. The problem is with a female teacher over at Cow Eating Grass, looks like she might not make it."

"Is it serious?"

"I don’t know, I didn’t dare to go inside and look."

"Alright, I’ll just retrieve the things first, or they might get dirty with so many people walking around. I’ll serve Dr. Lu a new portion later."

Old Wu gave the breakfast shop owner a thumbs up, "Old Qi, that’s generous of you."

Old Qi blushed, "What’s generous about it? Dr. Lu didn’t even have a chance to eat before rushing off to save someone. We may not be able to save people, but we can handle these small matters we can do."

Old Wu and Old Qi both run shops opposite the Health Center and have been for many years, not having much acquaintance with the doctors there. After all, no famous doctor emerged from the Health Center over the years.

That was until Lu Xuan came along, and his reputation grew day by day. Many people even come from other parts of the city to see him, and many of them dine at their shops.

During this time, they’ve heard Lu Xuan’s name countless times from those patients.

Initially, they didn’t think much of it.

Just figured, what’s so great about a doctor from the Health Center, maybe it’s all just hype.

But as time passed, more and more people started recommending Dr. Lu to others, and then they decided to learn more about him.

What they didn’t know was that upon closer inspection, they were taken aback.

The young man, who they thought would be of little skill, was actually using his superb medical skills to save one patient after another, including several that other hospitals were helpless with, yet Lu Xuan handled with ease.

Since then, everyone running stores near the Health Center knew that the Traditional Chinese Medicine department had a remarkable Dr. Lu.

Skilled in medicine, saving countless lives, he became a particularly respected practitioner in everyone’s eyes.

Now that Lu Xuan had gone to save someone, Old Qi saw it as a great opportunity!

A couple of days ago, he had heard Old Wu wanted to waive Lu Xuan’s meal fees but failed and instead got lectured by Dr. Lu.

But this time it’s different; he hasn’t even finished his food yet. Just come up with any excuse, say someone accidentally dirtied it, and serve a new portion. What reason would Dr. Lu have to refuse?

After all, we have a legitimate reason!

No intent to bribe Dr. Lu whatsoever.

Thinking of this, Old Qi’s face broke into a broad smile.

Businessmen, few are fools. Seeing Old Qi’s grin like a flowering chrysanthemum, Old Wu immediately knew what he was thinking and couldn’t help but be envious.

Last time, he tried to cozy up to Dr. Lu Xuan but ended up being lectured. Now seeing Old Qi hit upon such a good opportunity, he felt a pang of jealousy, "I might as well switch to running a breakfast shop myself."

Old Qi, understanding Old Wu’s frustration, quickly comforted him, "Old Wu, don’t feel bad. I just got lucky this time. Besides, Dr. Lu might not even come back."

"Maybe Dr. Lu is already full." Old Wu smiled. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Old Qi’s face fell instantly, "Old Wu, can’t you wish people well? Finally hit such a good opportunity, and you say that. Next time, I’ll treat you to a meal."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Just having you say that is fine, let’s have a drink next time."

"I’ll take the vegetables back to let the wife prep a bit, then go see what happened. Hope the young lady is okay."

Old Qi laughed, "With Dr. Lu there, how could anything go wrong?"

"That’s true." Old Wu agreed with a chuckle.

Their opinion of Lu Xuan was extremely consistent. Was there any illness that Dr. Lu couldn’t cure?

Even if King Yama came across Dr. Lu, he’d have to detour.

The two didn’t chat much more. Old Wu hastily took the purchased vegetables back before heading straight to Cow Eating Grass.

Meanwhile, in the Cow Eating Grass store.

As soon as Lu Xuan entered, a patient who had come by today to see him greeted him, "Dr. Lu!"
