Mosquito rolled her eyes and signaled Ding Ning to him by pouting. “This is simple. Just go and curry favor with our brother-in-law.”
“Sister Nuo will settle accounts with me, and what’s the use of currying favor with our brother-in-law?”
Huzi asked with great confusion.
“Pigheaded! Have you noticed that Sister Nuo is now like a docile cat in front of our brother-in-law? As long as you get our brother-in-law’s favor, Sister Nuo will not give you trouble while considering the feelings of our brother-in-law.”
Mosquito rolled her eyes at him.
“You are a wise wife!”
Huzi suddenly saw light and kissed Mosquito’s cheek while holding her face.
“You idiot. You want to die!”
Mosquito blushed and punched and kicked him coyly, but Huzi did not try to avoid her attacks and only stood there, grinning.
But they stopped the play fight soon because Ding Ning had attracted all their attention.
Now, the site was in silence, and all the people were staring at that tall and straight figure.
Ding Ning stood in front of Xiao Yan, his peaceful voice clearly sounding in everyone’s ears. “Do you often have a headache?”
Xiao Yan froze for a moment and then nodded after thinking about it. “Yes, I have had a migraine since I was a child.”
The five judges frowned and listened to their questions and answers, wondering what disease Ding Ning had found from her.
The onlookers were listening quietly, hoping to know what trick he was playing.
“Answer me, do you get headaches every time you strenuously exercise, get emotional, work hard, cough, drink or make love with your boyfriend? Do you also have nausea and vomiting symptoms with them?”
With an indifferent expression, Ding Ning asked calmly.
Xiao Yan blushed and answered shyly, “I…I don’t have a boyfriend.”
“Ahem, ahem!”
Embarrassed, Ding Ning could not help blushing and ask awkwardly after coughing twice, “Uh, never mind. What I said is the usual condition. You just need to answer yes or no, and that’s enough.”
Seeing him in great embarrassment, Xiao Yan was not nervous anymore. After recalling her past for a few moments, she nodded lightly, “Yes. I get a headache when I do strenuous exercise or get emotional. Just now I was nervous, so I had a migraine again. By the way, I get a headache when I drink, and I want to vomit when I occasionally have nausea. Great Doctor Ding, what on earth is wrong with me?”
“Don’t be nervous. Since I am here, no matter what disease you have, I will cure it for you. Is it a bulging pain or a bursting pain when you are in pain?”
Ding Ning gave a warm smile and comforted her gently. Although Xiao Yan, the one present and Xiao Nuo were a little not on good terms, they were cousins, after all. He believed that Xiao Nuo would not like to see him do nothing to a patient.
“Yes.”
Seemingly infected by Ding Ning’s emotions, Xiao Yan calmed down from her panicky mood and nodded lightly to show she understood, and her eyes glinted with hope.
She had been tormented by the migraine for many years, but nothing could be found when she went to the hospital, so that she trod on thin ice every day, and she did not even dare to engage in any strenuous activities or get too emotional. Thus, she cultivated her mind at her young age, and her temper had changed a lot. Although she had been a little unfriendly with Xiao Nuo these years, she was not totally incompatible with her.
“Can a migraine be counted as a disease? What’s the point even if she has a migraine? Compared with the occult filariasis I found, it is nothing, right?”
Treated by Yan Hui with the Spiritual Energy, Yan Hao recovered soon, but hearing the dialogue of the two, he could not help shouting again.
“Shut up! Why are you so annoying?”
Yagyuu Asamayu glared at Yan Hao, who shrank his neck in fear and shut his mouth docilely, and many looked at him with disdain.
Paying no mind to it, Ding Ning turned around and smiled politely to the five judges. “Have all of you judges remembered something by the symptoms I mentioned just now?”
The five judges had fallen into contemplation since Ding Ning asked and she answered. When they were now asked by Ding Ning, they were awakened, and Mr. Liu shook his head with a bitter smile. “I seemed to remember something, but I couldn’t make it clear no matter how hard I tried.”
“Me too. I could not make it clear no matter how hard I tried. Little Friend Ding, just tell us, what on earth is wrong with this girl?”
Mr. Wang and Mr. Meng could not stop smiling bitterly and asked him modestly, but they were quite ashamed of themselves today.
Ding Ning said with a smile, “Three seniors, you should not take the blame. After all, Western medicine has a better understanding of this disease. I studied western clinical medicine for five years, so I could find this disease.”
While Director Li was still thinking hard, Executive Jiang’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he said uncertainly, “Is it the spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage? But that’s not right. Although these symptoms may suggest that this is the spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, the patient should have a severe headache or even vitreous hemorrhage, right? The patient shouldn’t only have a migraine with nausea and vomiting, and she should also have a disturbance of consciousness, right?”
“Right, but why didn’t I think of it? These symptoms are just omens of the spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, aren’t they? The symptoms Executive Jiang mentioned will only appear after the vitreous hemorrhage.”
Director Li, who was the director of the Department of Neurology, had a much deeper understanding of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage than Executive Jiang. Looking at Ding Ning, he said with admiration, “If this girl really has a spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, it means that Doctor Ding has found its symptoms before she is fully ill only by feeling her pulse. This medical skill is really amazing.”
“No wonder we could not find it. It is very hard to find spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage with examination. Only when it causes other complications can we make an accurate judgment.”
Mr. Wang suddenly saw light and said. This was a suitable excuse to free himself from embarrassment.
“Little Friend Ding, we are not as good as you.”
Mr. Meng and Mr. Liu were ashamed and bowed to Ding Ning with the fist and palm salute. In a panic, Ding Ning bowed back hurriedly.
Seeing Ding Ning even make a comeback, Yan Hao instantly shouted in disbelief, “Don’t flatter him pretentiously, you guys! You belong to the same cult. It is spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage only because you say so? Who believes it?”
“They were all selected by everyone on the spot, and they won’t cheat, will they?”
“It’s hard to tell. Just now, they obviously favored that Little Miracle-working Doctor. Maybe they’ve colluded for a long time”
“Bullshit! Mr. Wang is of high esteem and high integrity, and he won’t do such a nasty thing!”
“Right, I know Mr. Liu. He is not only skillful in medicine, but also has an exceptionally high moral standard, and he won’t do such a thing.”
“Maybe they are those who fish for fame. Now, all kinds of people exist!”
“Fuck, you are talking nonsense! I’m Mr. Meng’s neighbor, and I know him very well.”
“Then how can you explain that they favored the Little Miracle-working Doctor in public?”
“They didn’t favor him! The five judges of high esteem didn’t find the disease, but he found it. This means that the Little Miracle-working Doctor has real skills.”
“Right, the five judges had the courage to admit that they are not as good as the Little Miracle-working Doctor, which shows that they have noble medical ethics. Only those who have filthy minds will be like that Little King of Needles, who can’t afford to lose and smear others’ images at will.”
“Pooh! I think that the fucking Little King of Needles is indeed the arrogant one who can’t do anything but shout.”
…instantly, these people gave different opinions, with some positive and some negative, but no one could deny that most people had sharp eyes. Since those inharmonious remarks were unfounded, they were drowned in the war of words soon.
The reporters became excited again. Like being drugged, they shouted and went to interview the audience. Tonight’s competition was with twists and turns, making them feel that they had not come in vain.
“Boy…”
With a hot temper, Mr. Meng instantly shouted in anger as he heard his repetitive slandering of them, but was stopped by Ding Ning, who said calmly, “Mr. Meng, people know who is right. When you are bitten by a dog, you can’t try to bite back, right? As long as we do well, let him bark. If you treat him seriously, you fall to a lower status.”
“Hahaha, well said, let him bark.”
These old traditional Chinese physicians who had flown into a rage saw light suddenly. “Right, why do we need to take the boy who looks like a mad dog so seriously? I’ll fall to a lower status.”
Yan Hao was about to continue to swear, but was stopped by Yan Xun through shouting. The crowd was now short-fused. If Yan Hao did not remain sensible and kept talking nonsense, he would arouse public anger, and the dozens of years of the good reputation of Yangui Hall would be ruined.
But he was unwilling to swallow the insult silently, so he instantly stood up and making a fist and palm salute, said, “Yan Hao is young and naive and has offended all of you, and let me, the old man, apologize to you in his name.”
“He is so old, but you say he is still young and naive? Even if he had grown up by eating shit, he would know something about human affairs, right? Does he not have a mouth and hands? Does he even need you to apologize for him? People must pay prices for their faults. He is the Little King of Needles? Does he only know to hide behind his senior and pretend to be dead? I really don’t know why this kind of person had guts to challenge me.”
Ding Ning had no good impression of the Yan Family. Before Executive Jiang and his companions spoke, he had started to bombard him with accusations.
“Well said! Yan Hao, come out to apologize!”
Wei Biaobiao shouted.
Yan Hao, come out to apologize!”
Yan Hao, come out to apologize!”
Yan Hao, come out to apologize!”
Yan Hao, come out to apologize!”
…
Huzi and his other partners also shouted. Then, all the onlookers on-site followed them to shout, and their shouts were so loud that they reached the skies, making Yan Hao terrified.
Then, the grievances of Executive Jiang and his companions were gone, and they had never felt so happy.
“Everyone, everyone, please do me a small favor, and give Yan Hao a chance to make a change.”
Dark-faced, Yan Xun suppressed his anger and making a fist and palm salute, bowed, and the waves of sounds in the surroundings stopped. This showed that Yan Xun still had very high prestige in Yan Jing.
Yan Xun, who was sulky but suppressed his anger, turned around and shouted at Yan Hao, “Sinner, come and apologize to Mr. Meng and his companions.”
Yan Hao’s face turned blue and red, and he knew that he had aroused public anger. If he continued to hide, he would be further despised by others, so he took one step forward and bowed to Executive Jiang and his companions. “I am young and naive and made irresponsible remarks, and I hope that all of you seniors don’t take offense at me.”
The camera flashlights kept flashing, and the reporters swarmed over to record this scene. They could predict how hot tomorrow’s news would be.
Some reporters had already drafted the news title: Impertinent Remarks of Little King of Needles Arouses Public Anger, King of Yan Needles Apologizes with His Grandson.
Yan Hao, who had never gone through this kind of insult, felt his face burning, and his lowered eyes glinted with venomous resentment. “Ding Ning, you brought me all this shame, and let’s wait and see.”
“Since you are young, we forgive you, but don’t talk nonsense to smear others’ reputations anymore in the future.”
These old men still had lingering anger, but under the watchful eyes of these people, if they did not let Yan Hao off, they would look too mean.
Representing all his companions, Mr. Meng said ironically as he waved his hand and clearly ended this matter.
Sullen-faced, Yan Xun closed his eyes for contemplation and became silent. Yan Hui had a pondering expression, and his eyes had been following Yagyuu Asamayu. Now, he had no mind to care about the small Yangui Hall.
