Chapter 526: Chapter 431: From Beginning to End, No One Said Those Two Were Human!

Old Professor: "That’s right! At my age, the most important thing is for me to eat happily!"

"And don’t you Chinese medicine practitioners often say that if you’re not happy, you’ll accumulate pent-up energy and it will affect your health?"

Chen Mu: "..."

This professor is just as always.

Eloquent!

Facing the interested look in the old professor’s eyes, Chen Mu waved his hand, "Professor, I’m not here to discuss that with you, I want to find out more about Professor Yan’s family situation."

Old Professor: "You tell me, I know quite a bit about it."

"That little granddaughter of Professor Yan’s, she even sneaked some spicy sticks from me today."

"You wouldn’t believe it, that little girl is so stingy! She hid here to eat spicy sticks and wasn’t even willing to share one with me!"

Saying this.

The expression on the old professor’s face was clearly a bit plaintive.

Chen Mu: "..."

He waved his hand again, "Professor, you’ve misunderstood, I’m not here to discuss that with you either."

"It’s like this, could you tell me how many kids visited Professor Yan’s house today?"

"Or maybe there’s a very short and thin adult?"

The old professor thought for a moment and then said: "Three kids, why?"

Chen Mu’s face started to become serious as well.

They were at Professor Yan’s house.

And they had already seen three kids.

And they even sent all three to the emergency center with an ambulance.

So the patient they still hadn’t found.

Wasn’t a child, but an adult?

Thinking this, Chen Mu continued to ask: "What about the adult? Very short, or maybe more details?"

Once again.

The old professor thought seriously for a moment.

But very quickly.

The old professor gently shook his head, "The Yan family is from the north, even the daughters at home aren’t overly skinny or short. Why are you asking, Dr. Chen?"

"Are there any issues among the ten of them?"

Ten people?

The moment the old professor said those words.

All eyes around.

Immediately focused on the old professor.

Chen Mu’s head buzzed.

For a moment there.

Chen Mu felt like he was about to realize something, but it wasn’t entirely clear at that moment.

Chen Mu: "But when Professor Yan last regained consciousness, he told me that there were twelve people in their family."

"Twelve?"

The old professor slapped his forehead: "Professor Yan must have included Lai Fu and Litchi."

"Lai Fu and Litchi?" Chen Mu frowned, carefully pondering those two names.

It doesn’t sound.

Like human names at all!

Just as Chen Mu was having this thought not long after.

He heard the old professor’s following words, "Lai Fu is the door-opening dog at Professor Yan’s house, and Litchi is the orange cat there; that cat loves eating litchis."

Chen Mu: "..."

Stood in place stiffly.

For a moment.

He didn’t even know whether to first rejoice that no one else was harmed.

Or to marvel, as expected, it’s a professor.

His cat actually eats litchis.

Noticing Chen Mu’s obviously dazed look, the suddenly aware old professor slapped his forehead: "Oh dear, almost forgot about Lai Fu and Litchi, Dr. Chen, can you have someone bring them to me? I’ll send them to the pet hospital for Professor Yan, see if they can be saved!"

"You see, Dr. Yan’s children come to visit them every week, but the couple still prefers Lai Fu and Litchi."

"If Professor Yan is discharged and can’t find these two little ones, he might worry to the point of having a heart attack."

Worry to the point of having a heart attack?

Just hearing those words, Chen Mu didn’t dare delay, "Interns, does anyone have a driver’s license? If so, please help escort the professor and those two pets to the pet hospital."

"Okay, Dr. Chen."

After settling the cat and dog.

Chen Mu made small talk with the security manager here for a bit.

Finally, citing the workload at the university hospital, he and his colleagues left earlier.

The security manager stayed behind to contact a door installation merchant to reinstall a door for Professor Yan’s home that looked much the same as the current one.

On the way back.

Chen Mu declined to ride in Driver He’s car.

Instead, he chose to walk back on foot.

The other interns all took the car back, except for Su Bingbing who stayed with Chen Mu.

Walking alongside Chen Mu.

The two walked side by side, at a slow pace, heading towards the university hospital.

"Dr. Chen, I just saw this new kind of food online, can you help me see if it’s reliable?"

Chen Mu: "What?"

Su Bingbing: "Chickens raised on Chinese herbs."

As if worried that Chen Mu wouldn’t understand what she meant.

Su Bingbing explained everything at once.

It turns out.

When she couldn’t help much, she played with her phone for a while.

A friend from a province known for soup recently took an interest in a nearby farm raising local chickens.

This farm, compared to others, is somewhat special.

Poultry farms generally inject some immunization medications for the birds.

But this farm recently had someone come back who studies Chinese medicine, supposedly the owner’s son.

After returning, this Chinese medicine practitioner.

Believed that injecting chickens with immunization might harm the meat quality.

So.

This Chinese medicine practitioner proposed another possibility.

He would brew some medicinal soup for the chickens to ensure they wouldn’t get sick.

Chen Mu: "!!!!"

—

"Goodness! I know anything related to Chinese medicine is quite hot online now, but if my wife hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t believe that nowadays even chickens are drinking herbal medicine?"

"Shouldn’t it be said that the chickens have found a reliable Chinese medicine practitioner, and you haven’t yet?"

"????"

"I was just leaving a comment, why are you attacking me personally?!"

"I’m suddenly thinking, would chickens raised on herbal medicine make healthier, more delicious soup?"

"The question is, where is this farm? I want to try it... oh, I mean, I want to see..."

"..."

—

Su Bingbing’s eyes settled on Chen Mu: "Dr. Chen, it’s the first time I’ve heard of brewing Chinese medicine for chickens to drink; do you think this approach as a replacement for immunization drugs is reliable?"

Chen Mu: "If it’s just simple immunization, relying on Chinese medicine shouldn’t be a problem."

Chen Mu: "But there’s a precondition here."

Su Bingbing looked intently at Chen Mu: "What’s the precondition?"

Chen Mu: "The chickens have to drink it!"

Worried that Su Bingbing might not understand his point, Chen Mu continued: "One reason many people are reluctant to go to a Chinese medicine practitioner is because they find the herbal soup bitter and hard to drink."

"For the same ailment, if they choose Western medicine, they could just be prescribed a box of tablets, taking a few at each meal."

"While with Chinese medicine, you’d have to drink it for at least a week."

"So how to make the chickens consume the herbal medicine, which many people are unwilling to drink, is a question."

Su Bingbing realized and nodded: "So that’s how it is... But, Dr. Chen, my friend once visited that farm, and the young Chinese medicine practitioner there seems to have a way."

"He added some special herbs to the soup, which supposedly makes chickens willing to drink it."

Chen Mu nodded: "Then he’s a clever person."

Su Bingbing still seemed a bit puzzled: "But Dr. Chen, can someone studying Chinese medicine really ensure that the chickens are immunized?"

Chen Mu: "The simplest way is to buy a chicken that’s been drinking the herbal mixture and perform an immunity test."

"Using Chinese medicine for animal immunization is actually doable."

"Nowadays, Chinese medicine has many branches, and veterinary Chinese medicine is one of them. Like the person you just described, the young farm owner probably studied veterinary Chinese medicine." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Of course, it might also be general Chinese medicine; it’s all interconnected. You see, I even performed acupuncture on a kitten the other day, didn’t I?"
