(Please add this book to your bookshelf if you haven't already!)
Suddenly, a wave of stunned voices filled the air.
How could the same condition and the same prescription produce different results?
With the same prescription and the same effect, Wu Haihua had already won!
What else could be done in this situation?
Looking at Du Zhong's confident face, Wu Haihua suddenly felt that it would be very entertaining to mock this annoying face!
"Alright, since you want to compare, I'll let you die with your eyes open!"
Wu Haihua chuckled.
His thoughts were the same as everyone else's; with the same medicine, he didn't believe that Du Zhong could do anything different!
Moreover, since it was about treating a patient, the medicine had to be decocted and given to the patient immediately.
Wu Haihua, being an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, was already extremely skilled at decocting medicine.
Decocting medicine is like cooking; one must grasp the timing and heat. The duration of high heat, medium heat, and low heat all have strict requirements. A single step off, and the efficacy of the medicine would inevitably be reduced.
In this aspect, unless Old Qin personally helped Du Zhong, Wu Haihua had absolute confidence in himself.
"Comparing the efficacy of the medicine is fine, but Du Zhong doesn't know how to decoct medicine!"
Old Qin hesitated and said.
"Anyone except you, he can choose freely!"
Wu Haihua immediately said.
"Then let Mu'er do it! Du Zhong?"
Hearing Wu Haihua's request, Old Qin raised an eyebrow and shifted his gaze to Gu Muer.
"No problem."
Du Zhong nodded, saying that it was best for Gu Muer to do it.
Although it didn't matter who did it, the result would be the same.
"Alright!"
Gu Muer nodded and said, "I'll go get the medicine right away!"
Just as Gu Muer was about to leave, Wu Haihua spoke again.
"Getting the medicine is a trivial matter, no need to trouble you!"
Wu Haihua coldly laughed, "Who knows if you would deliberately reduce the weight for this pretty boy? We can't bring a scale to measure, can we?"
After stopping Gu Muer, Wu Haihua took out his phone and called the hospital pharmacy!
"The doctors in the pharmacy don't know we are competing; the medicine they prepare will be absolutely fair!"
After making the call, Wu Haihua smiled happily.
Seeing Wu Haihua's smug look, Gu Muer couldn't help but feel angry, coldly snorted, and ignored him.
The small drama ended, and the doctors from the pharmacy arrived with two bags of Chinese medicine and a decoction pot.
Soaking the medicine, lighting the fire, and placing it on the stove!
The two bags of medicine were handed to Du Zhong and Wu Haihua. Du Zhong lifted the bag, weighed it, and found the amount to be just right, not a gram more or less.
Then, the decoction began.
Wu Haihua watched Gu Muer busily working, feeling very excited.
Although Gu Muer was helping Du Zhong, which made him uncomfortable, it gave him a chance to defeat both Gu Muer and Du Zhong at the same time!
The thought of soon showing his impressive skills in front of Gu Muer made him very excited.
The process of decocting the medicine was neither long nor short.
During this time, the doctors and nurses who were watching wandered back and forth between the hospital building and the garden.
They were torn between their work and the final showdown, wanting to watch the competition but fearing it would delay their work!
During this seemingly long time, Gu Muer carefully decocted the Chinese medicine.
Du Zhong stood beside Gu Muer, waiting for the medicine to be ready.
On the other side, Wu Haihua occasionally turned his head to glance at Gu Muer, then at Du Zhong, with a mix of hatred and satisfaction in his eyes.
It was as if he was telling Du Zhong, "I hate you, I really hate you, and this hatred will make you lose completely in the final competition!"
Du Zhong and Gu Muer ignored Wu Haihua, not even glancing at him!
After a long time, Wu Haihua hurriedly lifted the medicine pot from the fire.
"It's done!"
Opening the pot, he poured out a bowl of medicine and then turned to look at Du Zhong and Gu Muer.
At this moment, Gu Muer also said, "It's done!"
As she spoke, she lifted the pot to pour the medicine.
"Wait!"
Just as Gu Muer was about to open the pot, Du Zhong suddenly stopped her.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Muer felt a chill, wondering if she had made a mistake, but then remembered that Du Zhong didn't know how to decoct medicine and was puzzled.
"Let me take over from here!"
Du Zhong smiled slightly and moved Gu Muer aside.
Looking at Du Zhong, Gu Muer was completely baffled!
What is this guy up to?
Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses who had been timing their return to the park gathered around the two competitors.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Du Zhong made a ridiculous move.
He placed the medicine pot in front of him and then solemnly sang to it, a song that no one understood and found eerie!
"I thought you had some secret technique, but in the end, you're just pretending! Do you think this will make the medicine different? Ha! What a joke!"
Wu Haihua couldn't help but laugh and mock Du Zhong!
The surrounding people also burst into laughter, completely baffled by Du Zhong's actions.
Old Qin, who had been silent, suddenly froze and quietly walked to Du Zhong's side, looking at him with excitement!
Yesterday, when Du Zhong treated the child, he had his suspicions but couldn't confirm them.
But now, he was completely certain!
Because the song Du Zhong was singing was an ancient sound wave energy, a song that had long disappeared from the world, which he had finally heard in his lifetime!
This song was a form of ancient Chinese medicine, which could transmit energy from the universe to the decoction through sound waves!
By integrating this invisible and intangible energy, the efficacy of the decoction would be greatly enhanced!
Old Qin never thought that what he had sought his whole life would actually appear before his eyes, almost making him shed tears!
No one noticed Old Qin's change, as everyone was focused on Du Zhong.
Everyone was discussing Du Zhong.
But Du Zhong, like a monk reciting scriptures, filtered out all the discussions and mocking voices.
This was indeed a sound wave energy incantation, a technique from ancient medicine that transmitted energy through sound waves. With the same medicine and condition, the results would be different in his hands!
This was his biggest reliance in the third competition!
Du Zhong never did anything without being sure. When Wu Haihua proposed the three competitions, he already had full confidence, and now it was just a matter of execution!
After finishing the song, Du Zhong turned around.
"It's done, pour the medicine!"
Looking at the puzzled Gu Muer, Du Zhong smiled and said.
"Oh!"
Gu Muer walked forward, looking at Du Zhong as if he were a monster, and poured a bowl of decoction.
"However you pretend, the results will soon be clear!"
Wu Haihua sneered, "I want to see if your trick really works!"
At this moment, the discussions stopped.
Everyone was eagerly awaiting the final result.
Wu Haihua walked forward first, helped the patient, and had him drink the entire bowl of medicine.
"How do you feel? Not in pain anymore?"
After drinking the medicine, Wu Haihua confidently asked.
"Indeed, it's not as painful as before, but I still feel very weak and have a sour taste in my mouth."
The patient's frown slightly eased as he said.
"This condition needs time to improve. How can it be cured with just one dose of medicine?"
Wu Haihua replied to the patient and then turned to Du Zhong, saying, "Your turn!"
Hearing this, Du Zhong took the bowl of medicine from Gu Muer and walked to the patient.
"Will your medicine make me hallucinate and sing along with you?"
As soon as Du Zhong approached, the patient laughed and asked.
Immediately, loud laughter spread again.
Old Qin glanced around, a mysterious look in his eyes!
"Maybe after drinking his medicine, you can even dance!"
Wu Haihua laughed and added, mockingly looking at Du Zhong.
In the park, laughter echoed, as if it were a grand party rather than a serious competition.
"Dance?"
Du Zhong was taken aback, then laughed, "Maybe it really can!"
After saying this, amidst the mocking gazes of the crowd, he handed the medicine to the patient and watched him drink it all.
"I don't feel anything."
After drinking, the patient looked at Du Zhong, puzzled.
"I told you, with the same medicine and condition, how could the effects be different!"
"That the patient had no reaction means the decoction method was wrong, causing the medicine to lose its efficacy!"
"This time, Du Zhong has really messed up, not only losing to Dr. Wu but also involving Gu Muer!"
A wave of sighs spread!
Seeing this result, most people who were waiting for an exciting showdown sighed and turned to leave.
Even Gu Muer clenched her teeth, feeling responsible if they lost!
In the entire park, only Du Zhong remained calm.
Old Qin, standing beside him, had a gleam in his eyes!
"Hey!"
Just as most people were about to leave, Du Zhong's patient suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention back.
"I'm better!"
The patient looked at Du Zhong in surprise, saying, "After a few rumbling sounds in my stomach, the pain is gone, I don't feel weak, and the sour taste in my mouth is gone!"
As he spoke, the patient stood up and walked around, even taking a few steps!
Seeing this, the crowd was stunned!
The same condition, the same medicine, but different results!
Wu Haihua had only reduced the patient's pain, but Du Zhong's medicine had cured the patient completely!
How could this be?
At this moment, everyone was speechless!
Wu Haihua hurriedly checked the patient, and after a thorough examination, he fell to the ground, pale-faced.
