Reincarnation - The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

Chapter 769 The Old Leader

Qin Haodong said, “Of course. Moderate drinking is good for your health.”

After getting an affirmative reply, Mu Baisen laughed like a child. He turned to Mu Haiqing and said, “Boy, did you hear that? Doctor Qin said that I can drink, and moderate drinking is good for my health. Don’t stop me when I want to drink.”

Qin Haodong couldn’t help but smile. It turned out that the reason why the old man had called him here was that he wanted him to abolish the “Prohibition”.

However, his eagerness for drinking was understandable. Nearly all those who had survived the war liked alcohol. These years, the old man was sick and couldn’t drink, which made him very depressed.

Mu Haiqing replied with a bitter smile, “Okay, if you want to drink, just drink a little. But you have to follow Doctor Qin’s advice, and you’re not allowed to drink too much at a time.”

“Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get some wine. I’ll drink with Doctor Qin.”

Seeing that he could drink, the old man was so happy, as if they were celebrating the Spring Festival.

Soon, dishes and wine were served, and the old man excitedly called over Qin Haodong and Hua Mingrui to sit at the table together.

He picked up the bottle of Maotai wine on the table, happily poured each of them a glass, and then said, “Doctor Qin, have a taste of this wine. I’ve stored it for more than 20 years. At that time, I wanted to open it when Mingrui got married, but after waiting for so many years, she still hasn’t gotten married. I can’t wait any longer. Let’s have a taste today.”

Hua Mingrui peeked at Qin Haodong and blushed. She said shyly, “Grandpa, please enjoy your drink. Why are you talking about me?”

“Well then, let’s have a drink!”

Mu Baisen reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of him. First, he narrowed his eyes and sniffed the aroma of the wine, losing himself in the bouquet. Then he gulped down the wine in his glass.

After having a glass of wine, he cried out excitedly, “Great, it’s really great! I haven’t been this happy in many years!”

Mu Haiqing said, “Dad, Doctor Qin said that you can only drink moderately. You’re allowed to have two glasses of wine. You still have one more.”

“I can only have one more?” Mu Baisen’s face immediately clouded. “That’s far from enough. In the past, I was famous for drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk.”

Qin Haodong said, “Mr. Mu, you’d better drink moderately”

“Well, let’s drink slowly!”

After finishing his words, he invited them to enjoy the dishes of food. They ate and talked and soon finished the bottle of Moutai wine.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Mu Baisen said, “Little Qin, could you please do me another favor?”

“Old Master, if there’s anything I can help you with, feel free to tell me.”

Qin Haodong had a very high regard for those who had made great contributions to Huaxia.

“Here’s the thing. Only the old monitor and I are still alive from our company. But five years ago, the old leader suddenly got into a car accident and was seriously injured and became a vegetable. He has been lying on the bed all the time.

“Your medical skills are amazing. Could you please check on his health? It would be great if you could wake him up, and then we can have a drink together.”

He was now a general, and his comrade-in-arms was also a general. However, what they attached more importance to were the feelings they had back then, so they had always called each other “old leader”.

Qin Haodong had enough confidence in his medical skills. Hearing that he was about to treat a patient, he immediately agreed. “No problem.”

“That’s great. Let’s go there now.”

As he spoke, Mu Baisen stood up with the help of Hua Mingrui and walked towards the door.

The old general he mentioned was called Shen Anguo. He also lived in the sanatorium, which was next to Mu Baisen’s small courtyard.

When they walked into the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a military uniform came out to greet them. The badge on his shoulder indicated that he was a Major General.

“Uncle Mu, what brings you here?”

The middle-aged man was called Shen Tiejun, Shen Anguo’s son.

“I’m here to see my old leader.” Mu Baisen took Qin Haodong’s arm and introduced him, “Xiaojun, let me introduce him to you. This is Doctor Qin, the miracle-working doctor who cured my illness.

“I brought him here today to have him check on your father’s health.”

Originally, Shen Tiejun didn’t care about Qin Haodong. He thought he was just Hua Mingrui’s boyfriend. Now that he heard that this young man was the miracle-working doctor who had saved Mu Baisen from death, he immediately greeted him politely.

“Hello, Doctor Qin. Can you really cure my father?”

Shen Tiejun was very excited. His father had been lying in bed for five years. He had invited countless famous doctors to treat his father over the years, but none of them had done it. He didn’t even have any hope left.

But Mu Baisen had stood up from bed again, which made him see hope again.

Qin Haodong said, “I’m not sure now. I have to see the patient first.”

“Oh! Please come here, Doctor Qin.”

Shen Tiejun eagerly let Qin Haodong and the others in.

On the bed lay an old man in his late years. It was Shen Anguo, Shen Tiejun’s father.

Shen Tiejun said eagerly, “Doctor Qin, please have a look. As long as you can wake my father up, I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take a look first.”

Qin Haodong spoke as he went to the bedside and put his hand on Shen Anguo’s pulse.

Two minutes later, he had learned all about Shen Anguo’s condition. The other parts of the old man’s body were normal, but because of the external impact on his head, his nerves were damaged, which is why he had become a vegetable.

Seeing that he had finished feeling the pulse, Shen Tiejun asked again, “Doctor Qin, how is my father? Can you cure his illness?”

Qin Haodong said, “It’s not difficult to cure him. I’ll wake him up soon.”

Hearing that Qin Haodong could cure Shen Anguo’s illness, the people present immediately became relaxed.

Mu Baisen said, “Little Qin, tell me, how did my old leader become a vegetable?”

Qin Haodong thought for a moment and said, “Old Master, if for example, you’re the general in charge of the army. Now you’re trapped in the command room and can’t get out. All means of communication are cut off by the enemy, and even though you have thousands of soldiers out there, you can’t command them.

“That’s the case with Old Master Shen. His brain is not damaged, his thinking is normal, and all organs of his body are in good condition. The injury is caused by the nervous system, which connects the brain with other tissues. The command of his brain could not reach other parts, so he became a vegetable.”

After listening to his explanation, Mu Baisen nodded and said, “That’s great. You give me an example, and I understand. The other doctors are so bookish that I couldn’t even understand them after listening to them for a long time.”

Shen Tiejun said, “Doctor Qin, when do you want to treat my father? What do you need me to do to prepare for it?”

“There’s no need to make preparations. I’m going to treat the old man now.”

Qin Haodong took out the needle bag and walked to Shen Anguo’s bed.

This kind of injury was an incurable disease for other doctors, but it was not difficult for him. As long as he repaired the damaged nerves with the Rejuvenative Acupuncture, the old man could wake up again.

He took out a silver needle and raised his hand to put it in the acupoint on the old man’s head.

“Stop!”

At this moment, they heard a loud shout, and then a doctor in a white coat rushed in from the outside. He shouted at Qin Haodong angrily, “What are you doing? Who asked you to do this? Do you know how dangerous it is? The old master might be killed.”

“I asked him to do it. What’s wrong?”

Before Qin Haodong could say something, the old man, Mu Baisen, suddenly became furious. He had regarded Qin Haodong as a miracle doctor who saved his life. He was also his future grandson-in-law. How could he allow others to come over and humiliate Qin Haodong?

The man glanced at Old Master Mu and said coldly, “Who are you? Why do you make such a hasty decision?”

Old Master Mu yelled, “The one lying on the bed is my old leader, and we’re sworn brothers for life or death. Who are you? Why are you bossing me around? Believe it or not, I’ll get someone to throw you out.”

Having been in the army all his life, he was hot-tempered. He was immediately irritated by the doctor’s rude attitude.

“Old General, please don’t get angry. We’re a family.”

While they were speaking, Shao Weimin rushed in from the outside. Seeing that the doctor in the white coat had a conflict with Old Master Mu, he hurried forward and explained, “Old General, let me introduce him to you. This is Director Zhuo Bufan.

“Director Zhuo has done unique research in neurology. He is a scientific and technological talent that our Ministry of Health of Huaxia has just introduced from abroad. He returned to the Central Hospital as the deputy dean. Today, I invited him to treat Mr. Shen.”

Hearing Shao Weimin’s introduction, Zhuo Bufan was quite complacent. He was truly entitled to be proud of himself. He was an expert in internal medicine and he had done unique research on neurology. This time, Huaxia offered a high-paying job, so he returned home.

For the sake of Shao Weimin, Mu Baisen snorted and didn’t say anything else.

After the introduction, Shao Weimin finally saw Qin Haodong. He stepped forward to greet him. “Little Qin, you’re here too!”

Qin Haodong said, “Minister Shao, I’m here to treat Old Master Shen.”

“Are you kidding me? Are you going to cure him with your rubbish?” Zhuo Bufan pointed at the silver needle in Qin Haodong’s hand and said, “You’re not treating him at all. You’re killing people. If I had not stopped you in time, I’m afraid the old man would have been killed by now.”

Qin Haodong frowned. This man was too rude. He had just rudely interrupted his treatment, and now he was questioning his medical skills.

“Doctor Zhuo, please watch your mouth. I am a Chinese medicine practitioner, and I’m treating my patient. Why do you say I’m killing him?”

Zhuo Bufan sneered and said, “Traditional Chinese medicine? That’s so funny. Can traditional Chinese medicine cure diseases?”

Qin Haodong was extremely annoyed with this kind of person who casually questioned traditional Chinese medicine. He said coldly, “Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years in Huaxia. Why can’t it cure diseases?”

Zhuo Bufan said with disdain, “Then let me ask you, do you know the structure of the human brain? Do you know how complicated the nerves are? Do you know the basic composition of the nerve cells?

“You know nothing, don’t you? Since you don’t know the basic knowledge, how dare you treat a severe vegetable? Isn’t this murder?”

Qin Haodong said gloomily, “Yes, I don’t understand those things, but do you know the five elements of Yin and Yang? Do know what acupoints are and what meridians are? Do you know the importance of Qi to the human body?

“You don’t understand either, do you? Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two different medical systems. Why do you think I should know everything about Western medicine?”

Seeing that the two people were quarreling again, Shao Weimin hurried over to mediate between them. “Please don’t be angry. Both of you are here to treat Old Master Shen. You should work together.”

Out of respect for Shao Weimin, Qin Haodong didn’t say anything else.

Zhuo Bufan snorted coldly and said, “On the way, Minister Shao has already introduced the patient’s condition to me, but I still want to have a look at the detailed information of the examination.”

“Doctor Zhuo, the materials are here.”

Shen Tiejun sent a stack of thick materials to Zhuo Bufan. He was now a drowning man clutching a straw. He felt that the more experts he had, the better it would be for his father.
