Chapter 165 Experience and Practice

Xiaoban, the tea after washing exudes a pleasant aroma, and walks gently to her side. Seeing her expression, he comforts her: "Girl, as long as you work hard, you will be able to master it."

Chen Fang sighed and put down the book in his hand: "However, the properties of these ten medicinal herbs are different. If I remember them wrongly, it will definitely affect the subsequent preparation. I really have no idea."

Xiao Ban said with a smile: "I heard that the old master once said that if you focus on one thing, you can remember a lot of knowledge. Why don't you try to study them one by one, maybe you will get unexpected gains?"

Hearing this, Chen Fang raised her head, a gleam in her eyes: "Xiao Ban, you are right, we can do it step by step to deepen our memory."

At this moment, a gentle voice came from behind: "Miss Chen, there is no need to be so anxious, just take your time."

Chen Fang turned her head and saw the blue-clothed young man Han Zheng stepping into the room. His figure was like a breeze, and his face was as handsome as jade. He smiled, with a trace of concern in his eyes: "I heard that you are researching medicinal materials. If you need it, I am willing to lend you a hand."

Her face flushed, and she spoke in a slightly timid voice: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Han, but I'm afraid I've delayed your business."

"It's okay. They say that the friendships made during study are the most precious." Han Zheng sat opposite her, his tone gentle but firm, "Why don't I discuss this with you? Maybe it will help you get started faster."

Seeing this, Xiao Ban secretly rejoiced in his heart and whispered, "That's most appropriate."

"I think I can first remember the effects and characteristics of each medicinal herb, and then understand it through personal experience." Chen Fang's eyes sparkled and his enthusiasm was rekindled.

Han Zheng nodded. "Yes, we can start with the basics. First, what is Achyranthes bidentata?"

"Achyranthes bidentata tastes bitter and is neutral in nature. It has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis." Chen Fang answered immediately, as if recalling the words in the book.

"Very good! Then what is cinnamon twig?" Han Zheng continued to guide.

"Cinnamon twig is spicy and warm in nature. It can relieve muscle fever." Chen Fang answered without hesitation. His expression gradually relaxed and his frown slowly unwound.

Xiao Ban was standing by, secretly pleased in his heart. Seeing her smile, he whispered, "The girl is really smart, she has no pressure at all!"

The two of them discussed continuously, and time passed by unknowingly. The setting sun outside the window shone into the room through the window lattice, a golden color, as if putting a warm coat on this room full of books.

Gradually, Chen Fang's face was no longer sad, and her joyful expression attracted Han Zheng's warm gaze. They cooperated tacitly and happily, as if everything around them had disappeared.

"I think it's not impossible to master the ten kinds of medicinal herbs." Chen Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Han Zheng with a hint of sarcasm. "If I can learn from you, maybe I will be able to master all of them and remember them deeply in the near future."

"First, Achyranthes bidentata and Cassia twig, then think about Atractylodes macrocephala and White Peony Root." Han Zheng smiled slightly, "Wait a minute, we'll talk about it later. Why don't we take a break and make a pot of hot tea?"

"That's great. I also want to eat some pastries." Xiaoban suddenly interrupted, with anticipation in his eyes.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen to fetch some pastries." Han Zheng stood up, bowed to the two of them, then turned and walked out. The sunlight outlined his slender back, sprinkled on the ground, and cast a slanted bright shadow.

Seeing Han Zheng leaving, Xiao Ban came close to Chen Fang and whispered, "The girl and Mr. Han seem to be getting closer. Have you ever thought about this?"

"I..." Chen Fang blushed slightly and shook her head shyly, "Although he is gentle, he is a person of prominent status. I dare not talk to him."

"But if we are interested in each other, how can our status separate our feelings?" Xiao Ban said, as if encouraging or joking. She smiled mysteriously, with a glimmer in her eyes.

Chen Fang was slightly stunned, and quickly said: "There is absolutely no such thing between Mr. Han and me, so please don't say more." However, she could no longer hide a trace of helpless joy on her face.

Doctor Zhang sat behind the wooden table, looking focused. He occasionally looked up at Chen Fang, and seeing that she was hesitant, he slowly encouraged her, "Don't be afraid. Take your time and accumulate experience."

"Yes, Doctor Zhang." Chen Fang's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but the sunlight soon dispelled her hesitation. She took a deep breath, lowered her head and began to carefully pick the herbs from the blue and white porcelain bowl.

"Remember to first understand the properties and effects of each herb, and then consider how to combine them." Doctor Zhang said, gently placing a golden needle on the table, "Today, we are going to give acupuncture to a new patient, and you can observe it."

"Acupuncture?" Chen Fang's eyes widened, and she felt nervous. "I haven't learned this step yet."

Xiao Ban said softly, "Girl, you are so smart, you will be able to master it easily."

Doctor Zhang's eyes were gentle, and he smiled and said, "Acupuncture requires time and practice. I don't expect you to learn it right away. But you can watch from the side and try it after you learn it."

"Okay then." Chen Fang nodded, forcing herself to put aside her worries and decided to work hard to absorb all this new knowledge.

At this time, a middle-aged man was supported by someone and walked into the clinic. He looked pale and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. It was obvious that he had been ill for a long time. Doctor Zhang quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"I... feel a tightness in my chest, pain in my temples, and I can't sleep well at night." The man complained bitterly, his voice seemed to tremble.

Doctor Zhang glanced at him, picked up the stethoscope and listened carefully. After a moment, he said to Chen Fang, "Look, this situation may be caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, or spleen and stomach disorders. Get ready, we will prescribe a prescription for him later."

"Okay." Chen Fang hurriedly sorted the herbs. She already had an idea in her mind and began to prepare the suitable herbs one by one.

"Doctor Zhang, I think we can use Bupleurum and White Peony Root." She raised her hand nervously, trying to give her opinion.

Doctor Zhang smiled slightly and nodded in praise: "Yes, both can soothe the liver qi and regulate the spleen and stomach. However, you still need to consider the patient's specific symptoms."

"Yes, I understand." Chen Fang prepared the herbs one by one, and his heart became more determined.

Soon, the patient sat on the chair and Dr. Zhang began to give him acupuncture. The needle tip gently pierced the skin, and although it was painful, it was not severe. The man's complexion also eased a little. Chen Fang stared at the process and felt extremely magical in her heart.

"Did you see that? During the acupuncture process, the strength of the technique and the angle must be extremely delicate to be effective." Doctor Zhang said gently.

"Yes, Doctor Zhang, I will remember it." Chen Fang's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She paid close attention to every step, fearing that she would miss anything.

"Okay, now it's time to change the technique." Doctor Zhang glanced at her and asked her to observe carefully. "You can try to demonstrate it. Remember to be steady."

"Me?" Chen Fang was a little timid.

"That's right, you have to have confidence. You grow through learning every time," Dr. Zhang encouraged.

"Then I'll try." Her heartbeat quickened. She held the needle carefully in her hand and silently said, "Gently, steadily...steadily!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ban cheered her on secretly: "You can do it, girl.

Doctor Zhang smiled and nodded at her: "Yes, relax your mind, remember to use moderate force, and insert the needle along the meridians."

Chen Fang held her breath and concentrated, silently reciting every technique she had learned, and slowly inserted the needle into the patient's acupuncture point. As the needle tip gently pierced, she thought of the previous teaching, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Very good! Very well done!" Doctor Zhang's voice came from the side. Chen Fang felt as if she had been shone by the sunshine, and she gradually gained some confidence.

"How do you feel?" Doctor Zhang asked with a gentle smile on his face.

"Mr. Patient, do you feel the pain relieved?" Chen Fang asked nervously, and then felt a little uneasy.

"It hurts a little, but I can feel that it's much more comfortable now." The man answered tentatively with a smile on his face.

"That's great!" Chen Fang couldn't help but feel ecstatic, and the pressure in her heart was instantly relieved.

Xiao Ban clapped his hands aside: "The girl is really smart. She will definitely become an excellent doctor in the future!"

Chen Fang blushed and scratched her head, feeling shy: "This is all thanks to Doctor Zhang's teachings."

"Only by constantly learning can we walk more steadily on the road ahead." Doctor Zhang also smiled, with some approval in his eyes.
