Chapter 193

……

Sure enough, upon hearing that Wu Laogou wanted to invite a Western doctor for an examination, the audience below began to chime in with all sorts of opinions.

"Hmph, Western medicine isn't some cure-all!"

"I think so too. What Chinese medicine looks at is the root — that is, the body's primordial Qi! If Dog Fifth Master really was struck by a Gu that damaged his primordial Qi, Chinese medicine would definitely be able to see it."

"So if even Chinese medicine can't see it, expecting Western medicine to do so is even more impossible!"

"I'm not so sure. Western medicine has instruments that can see through the human body, like X-rays and such. Can Chinese medicine do that?"

"Don't always deny the advanced nature of others. Maybe Chinese medicine can't see it, but Western medicine just might!"

The audience argued endlessly, but Zhang Lin did not join the discussion; he continued speaking.

"The person the Wu family invited was the nationally renowned Western doctor of the time — Mr. Li Li Weisi!"

"The Wu family spent a fortune and pulled many strings before they could persuade Mr. Li Li Weisi's team to bring their instruments to Old Changsha."

Hearing this, some audience members had already started picking up their phones to look it up.

A quick search left them utterly shocked!

Not only did this person Li Li Weisi actually exist, but his trip to Old Changsha was also recorded!

After all, he was a famous doctor renowned throughout the Medical Community, so when he went to Old Changsha back then—

The Xiangjiang newspaper even ran a lengthy report on it!

These old newspapers were also dug out by netizens with quick fingers and good resources!

With historical evidence to back it up, the listeners' mood as they listened to the storytelling shifted!

They felt as if they had truly returned to that era along with Zhang Lin.

They saw a household-name famous doctor go to Old Changsha to find out whether Gu arts truly existed in this world!

What's more, Li Li Weisi still has descendants alive today.

After he left Xia Country, his descendants, because they liked Xia Country, returned once more to settle there.

Li Li Weisi's later generations are also largely of mixed blood between the two countries, and most of them also work in the medical field.

The most famous among them is Li Li Weisi's great-granddaughter, Chen Lusi.

Her mother married a Xia Country man, so she is of mixed blood between the two countries.

What makes it even more of a coincidence is that Chen Lusi's field of research is precisely virology!

Not only that, most of this family, as long as they practice medicine, basically all research virology!

This made a strange feeling rise in the hearts of everyone who saw these messages.

Back then, Doctor Li Li Weisi was invited to come examine Wu Laogou.

Yet his descendants mostly went into virology research — no one knows whether this has anything to do with Li Li Weisi's experience in Old Changsha back then!

The excitement of soon uncovering all sorts of long-buried history made the audience extremely thrilled.

The entire internet, because of the existence of this real person Li Li Weisi, once again set off a wave of enthusiasm for listening to the storytelling!

At this moment, Chen Lusi, a professor far away at Shanghai Medical University, was stunned when she saw the flood of messages popping up on her phone.

She had never expected that the truth her family had sought for a lifetime was not in Shanghai, not in Old Changsha, but might be in Jingcheng!

Back then, her great-grandfather had no idea what he went through in Old Changsha.

After returning to Shanghai, he fell seriously ill!

Not only that, all of Li Li Weisi's descendants have come down with a rare disease.

This disease causes their hearts to gradually fail after the age of thirty!

It is a very typical chronic heart disease.

But the strange thing is, whether during the incubation period or the onset period—

When Li Li Weisi's descendants go to the hospital for examinations, all instruments show their hearts to be perfectly normal!

There was even a examining doctor who said outright that the health of their hearts was good enough to transplant into someone else without any problem — they were excellent organ sources!

But the Li Li Weisi family had no way to express their suffering.

They were plagued by heart disease, and by the time it was passed down to Chen Lusi's generation, they basically could not live past thirty-five.

So any descendants who still wanted to save themselves did everything they could to come to Xia Country.

They wanted to find out exactly what Li Li Weisi experienced in Xia Country back then, which caused his descendants to come down with this hereditary disease that seemed like a curse!

At this moment, Yang Lu, hearing that Zhang Lin had information about her great-grandfather from back then, could not wait even a moment.

She called her assistant and said: "Book me the earliest flight to Jingcheng. I have something important to take care of!"

Zhang Lin, telling stories in Sanqing Garden, had no idea that an episode from Dog Fifth Master's past—

Had dragged in yet another family long tormented by Gu arts.

At this point, he had already reached the part where Li Li Weisi's team arrived in Old Changsha and moved into the Wu family residence!

They were preparing to give Wu Laogou a full physical examination!
