Recalling the meeting the previous night, Huang Taku dryly offered Fang Er a cigarette.
"The things you mentioned aren't classified; our country has them too."
"It's not just modern times; ancient records also mention UFO crashes, they just weren't released to the public."
"Even some legends were dismissed by the public as false rumors; no one believed they were true."
Fang Er:...........
What the hell? Why is it that after so many years in the Great Tang, I haven't seen a single one?
As if sensing his confusion, Huang Taku explained.
"The 'Shí Yí Jì' records mention people from Wan Qu arriving in spiral boats. The boats resembled shells, moving underwater without letting any water in; they were also called 'Lun Bo Zhōu' (Wave-riding Boats). The people there were ten zhang tall and wore animal furs to cover themselves. When Emperor Shi Huang spoke with them, they described the creation of heaven and earth as if they had witnessed it firsthand."
"According to the 'Book of Jin: Biography of Zhang Zuo,' there was a light in the sky like a chariot canopy, with a sound like thunder, shaking the city. The chariot canopy was shaped like a large umbrella, sharp at the top and flat at the bottom."
"Shen Kuo also mentioned in his 'Dream Pool Essays' that during the Jiazhong period, a very large mussel was often seen in Yangzhou when the sky was overcast. It first appeared in the marshes of Tianchang County, then moved to Pizhe Lake, and later to Xin Kai Lake. For over ten years, residents and travelers often saw it."
"Su Shi's 'Visiting Jinshan Temple' and the Qing Dynasty artist Wu Youru's famous painting 'Fiery Crimson Rising.'"
"The modern ones are even more numerous, but due to secrecy, these matters haven't been officially acknowledged."
"So, keep those spacecraft and specimens for yourself to play with."
With that, he stood up and walked towards the exit.
Fang Er stood there, stunned. What was this? Shen Kuo had seen it?
That guy was currently in the Americas. Should he go back and ask?
Thinking of the gene warriors he had captured in Area 51, he asked, "Brother Huang, is that old TCM practitioner I brought to treat Commander Liu's injuries still at the military general hospital?"
Huang Taku looked at him, his expression bewildered. "Wasn't he sent back a while ago?"
Fang Er: ???
"When was he sent back?"
"After Commander Liu's injuries stabilized, the old TCM practitioner said he wanted to find you, so I had someone send him back. That was about two days ago."
Hearing this, Fang Er suddenly had a bad feeling.
The two of them hurried downstairs and found the battalion commander responsible for the compound's security.
After some questioning, the battalion commander's face turned grim.
"Chief, that old man insisted on leaving, and we couldn't forcefully stop him. I offered to send a squad to escort him, but that old man, whoever he is, took down a whole squad of our soldiers bare-handed and then left triumphantly."
Huang Taku was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing this. A 70-year-old man fighting an entire squad of soldiers? Who would believe this if they heard it?
Fang Er, however, wasn't surprised at all. With Old Sun's skills, this feat wasn't exaggerated.
But he still urged, "Hurry, send people to look for him. What if something goes wrong!"
Sun Simiao's medical skills had already conquered the professionals at the military general hospital. Even the elders at the health bureau were shocked. If such a master met with an accident, the loss would be immense!
A series of orders were issued, and two companies of soldiers split up to search. Personnel were dispatched to security and traffic control.
Military orders required local authorities to cooperate unconditionally, and the results soon came back.
However, Fang Er and Huang Taku could only stare at each other in disbelief. Old Sun had been arrested? This was utterly preposterous!
"What crime did he commit that they actually arrested him here!"
At the security office, Fang Er roared at the director, Kong Yuan.
Sun Simiao was a sage who had attained enlightenment, and his character was impeccable. Deceit and trickery were far from his nature. He couldn't understand how he had been arrested.
Kong Yuan, seeing Huang Taku staring at him with daggers in his eyes, shivered and quickly replied.
"Someone reported him for illegal medical practice."
"I'll be damned!" Huang Taku heard the reply and almost kicked him.
The man who had been shot seven times and was almost sent to the crematorium had been saved by a few silver needles, and now he was arrested for illegal medical practice!
This was truly absurd!
Suppressing the urge to strike, he snapped.
"Who the hell is so idle to do this? Bring him here immediately! I want to see who has such blind audacity!"
Kong Yuan nodded repeatedly, waved over a few subordinates, and whispered a few instructions to them.
Within half an hour, the person was brought over, and Sun Simiao was also brought out of the detention center.
With everyone present, the cause and effect of the matter were quickly clarified.
It turned out that after leaving that day, Sun Simiao had wandered around and entered a hospital for a visit. He saw a young man in his thirties squatting at the hospital entrance, crying. So, he went up to inquire.
The young man had terminal stomach cancer, and the hospital refused to admit him.
"Healing the sick and saving the dying" was Old Sun's motto. He couldn't bear to see anyone suffering from illness, so he immediately began acupuncture on the young man at the hospital entrance.
This scene was precisely witnessed by a leader from the hospital's medical affairs department, who mistakenly believed that Old Sun was intentionally causing trouble.
When asked which unit he belonged to, he couldn't answer. When asked for his physician's qualification certificate, he had none.
Therefore, they directly called the police and arrested Old Sun.
The person brought over at this moment was Director Yi from the medical affairs department of the "Hulutang Hospital."
Director Yi saw Huang Taku's military uniform and knew that they might have made a mistake. He explained.
"Commander Huang, you can't blame our hospital. The day before yesterday, fearing they had the wrong person, we even gave him a test to do."
"Director Kong saw it himself. He couldn't even score 10 out of 100 on the test!"
Then, he took a test paper from his pocket and spread it flat on the table in front of Fang Er.
Sun Simiao looked at the test paper and sighed, "Alas, my young friend, don't blame him. This old Daoist has been practicing medicine for decades and never knew there were so many rules to treating an illness."
Fang Er picked it up out of curiosity and glanced at it. Total score 100, score 3.
1. Which of the following descriptions of combining chemotherapy and radiotherapy is correct?
2. What is the main reason for the poor prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer currently?
3. Grey-Turner's sign is commonly seen in ____
???
What in the world were these?
After reading these, he was so angry he almost exploded. He crumpled the test paper into a ball and threw it back at Director Yi's face.
"Are you making an old TCM practitioner answer Western medicine questions?"
"How did your brain manage to get to this position?"
"If you have the ability, why don't you create a Chinese medicine test? If he can't score a perfect score, I'll donate a hundred million to your hospital as compensation!"
Upon hearing this, the originally nervous Director Yi immediately became excited. "Are you referring to Chinese Yuan or Dollars?"
Fang Er pointed at his nose and cursed, "This is China! Don't try to measure my assets with other currencies; they are not worthy!"
Director Yi didn't dodge. He just chuckled and took another test paper from his pocket.
Total score 100, score 9.
