University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 312 - 257: Little-Known Fact: Polygonum multiflorum Is Also a Medicinal Herb! It Can Be Used in Medicine!

Chapter 312: Chapter 257: Little-Known Fact: Polygonum multiflorum Is Also a Medicinal Herb! It Can Be Used in Medicine!

He Xingchen didn’t know.

Her way of thinking.

Was well received by the live chat audience.

—

"This time I’m on Xingchen’s side. It’s impossible for the school clinic to have Polygonum multiflorum!"

"I remember last time when Dr. Chen opened this drawer and took out a ginseng root. This thing is definitely ginseng!"

"Even if it is, it doesn’t prove that He Xingchen can distinguish between Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng, right?"

"Exactly! This is a specific situation. In another situation, she still wouldn’t be able to tell them apart!"

"But... are you guys really sure this thing is ginseng?"

"Taken from Dr. Chen’s drawer, what else could it be if not ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum?"

"..."

—

Inside the school clinic.

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

While He Xingchen was proudly talking about her "opinions."

The people in white coats behind her, someone couldn’t control their emotions first.

They burst out laughing.

The laughter in the room gradually escalated.

He Xingchen realized that something might have diverged from her expectations.

Despite this realization in her heart.

She picked up the Polygonum multiflorum that Chen Mu had placed on the table and examined it closely.

"This... it’s clearly ginseng..."

Stubbornly clinging to her previous thoughts, He Xingchen said, "Dr. Chen’s place, but this is the school clinic!"

"The school clinic only has medicinal materials, Polygonum multiflorum is poisonous..."

Listening to He Xingchen mutter to herself.

Chen Mu couldn’t help it any longer.

He spoke up, somewhat helplessly, "He Xingchen, didn’t it ever occur to you that Polygonum multiflorum is also a kind of medicinal herb?"

"That can’t be right..."

He Xingchen’s voice wavered as her eyes filled with doubt, "How can something poisonous be used as medicine?"

Chen Mu sighed.

His gaze.

Fell on the people in white coats behind He Xingchen.

Meeting Chen Mu’s gaze.

The people in white coats couldn’t help but sigh internally.

They didn’t expect that interning at Hai City University would be much more challenging than regular school exams.

A female doctor wearing glasses stepped forward, "Polygonum multiflorum, a type of Chinese medicinal herb, usually refers to the dried root of American Pokeweed."

"Polygonum multiflorum has the effects of promoting diuresis and reducing swelling while facilitating bowel movements."

"It’s often used for treating edema, constipation, and externally for boils and sores."

"However..."

The female doctor paused, glancing briefly at He Xingchen.

"Even though the dried root of Polygonum multiflorum is a Chinese medicinal herb, if consumed in large quantities, it can still cause poisoning and even be fatal!"

He Xingchen: "???"

—

"Guys, I’m laughing so hard, did you notice that the girl was looking at He Xingchen when she said the last part?"

"Hahaha!!! How could we miss such a funny moment!"

"Isn’t this a warning to He Xingchen that eating it can really be lethal?"

"I think this reminder is very necessary! From her demeanor before, it seemed like she wanted to eat it!"

"But He Xingchen might think the female doctor is targeting her..."

"..."

—

"Dr. Chen, is this really Polygonum multiflorum, not ginseng..."

He Xingchen stared at the Polygonum multiflorum on the table.

She still held a sliver of hope and questioned Chen Mu again.

Chen Mu nodded expressionlessly, "He Xingchen, I’m not just a doctor, I’m also a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner..."

A practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

If he can’t even recognize medicinal herbs.

How can he call himself a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, let alone from a long line of practitioners?!

He Xingchen stared blankly at the Polygonum multiflorum.

Then looked up at Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen, what did I just use as proof that this thing is definitely ginseng?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly, "It was your credits!"

Just as He Xingchen was about to say something to save face.

Suddenly.

She heard a notification beep on her phone.

With trembling hands, she opened her phone.

When she saw the content.

He Xingchen swayed in place.

Surprising the white coats around her with bright eyes.

The result.

She swayed for a while.

Then, with her own effort.

Managed to steady herself!

With a look of dismay, He Xingchen showed Chen Mu her phone screen, "Dr. Chen, the credits I haven’t received yet really flew away!"

"I failed my advanced math retake!"

Chen Mu shrugged helplessly, "Who told you to randomly make those bold claims?"

"I remember that if you don’t pass this retake, you’ll have to wait until junior or senior year for the final retake before graduation, right?"

"He Xingchen..."

"It’s advanced math, are you sure you don’t need to head to the library for a while?!"

Defeated, He Xingchen left the school clinic.

The patients afterward.

Were all dealing with common colds and heatstroke.

So Chen Mu just took a backseat approach.

Sitting and watching these intern doctors treat patients, when they were unsure, they would actively seek Chen Mu’s help.

With not much else to do, Chen Mu sighed genuinely.

"Ah! This is the leisurely life a school doctor should have..."

Su Bingbing, who also found herself with some free time, couldn’t help but softly remind, "Dr. Chen, don’t tempt fate."

Before Su Bingbing even finished speaking.

The two heard the sound of footsteps outside the clinic.

Meeting Su Bingbing’s slightly speechless gaze, Chen Mu felt a bit awkward as he murmured, "Could it really be this coincidental..."

A familiar figure appeared at the clinic’s door.

He Xingchen, panting heavily, "Dr. Chen, does our school clinic have a ladder?"

"It’d be best if it’s a taller one."

Chen Mu looked skeptically at He Xingchen, "We do, but I’m puzzled as to why a ladder is needed for university life?"

Mindful of the cameras present.

The second half of his sentence was left unspoken.

What Chen Mu really wanted to ask was.

Did He Xingchen cause another odd case?

He Xingchen raised a hand to point outside the clinic, "Dr. Chen, it’s not for me. I’m just trying to do a good deed!"

Chen Mu: "Hmm?"

He Xingchen took a few more deep breaths and said, "Dr. Chen, it’s like this, on the side of the clinic, there’s a huge tree, right?"

"When I was leaving the clinic earlier, I happened to walk underneath it and heard someone shouting for help..."

"Speaking of which..."

As He Xingchen recounted, she dramatically shivered.

"Dr. Chen, if it weren’t during the day, it’d be terrifying!"

"I heard someone calling out, ’Student, help me,’ but I couldn’t see anyone around me."

"I almost thought it was a ghost in broad daylight!"

Connecting this to He Xingchen’s request for a ladder, Chen Mu frowned, "Are you saying someone’s in the tree?"

He Xingchen nodded, "To be precise, they’re on the highest branch. It’s quite thin, holding someone weighing over a hundred pounds. Who knows when..."

Before she could finish.

Chen Mu quickly dashed past her, "If someone’s about to fall, why didn’t you say so sooner!"

After finding a ladder in the clinic’s tool room, he rushed out at top speed without even closing the door.

Almost as soon as Chen Mu dashed out of the clinic’s main entrance.

"Thud—"

A loud sound of something heavy hitting the ground came from the side of the clinic building.
