nChapter 79 – Unable to Beat Little Sister (比不過妹妹)

nJing Yunzhao was someone who had lived more than twenty years in her past life. How hard would guessing Gan Jinchen’s, who was a sixteen year old child, thoughts be?

nIt must be because the photo of the woman in her hands previously had a condition that sounded quite serious. Adding on to the fact that all of Grandpa Gan’s question had not been so simple, that was probably how he came up with the answer ‘Tuberculosis’.

n“How are you so sure? What if…”

n“A normal person’s face should be slightly yellowish, rosy and with luster. This woman’s face is slightly red, it is evident that there’s something wrong. Look at her hair, it’s tied up so nicely. Even though her clothes look thick and heavy, they match very well. This kind of girl obviously cares a lot for her appearance, so the sores near her lip are actually covered up with makeup, but it doesn’t mean that they aren’t there. If you look closely at the skin tone near her lip, you will find that it is slightly different. Also, by wearing such clothing, it should be because she wants to cover up the rash on her body. Look slightly below her nape and you’ll still be able to see a bit of the rash…”

nGan Jingchen blushed. He was a male, why would he look at that part? Even though the person that was being discussed was dressed in a conservative manner, it was impossible that he would deliberately look at the exposed skin…

n“Additionally, the reddening of both cheeks is commonly seen in tuberculosis, especially in the afternoon when the heat is stronger. If you want to accurately diagnose someone, you still need to know whether the other party has any other discomforts with their body…” Jing Yunzhao continued.

nAfter Jing Yunzhao finished, Gan Jinchen wanted to go find a hole to hide himself in.

nHowever, he did not want to shame himself. He acted as if he did not mind it at all and turned his head away, “I just overthink too much in regards to this question. Chu Chu, it’s your turn.”

nSu Chu glared at her Biaoge. Looking nervously at the old man, she pointed to the picture in her hands and softly spoke, “This person has a cylindrical thorax. The slope on the back and front of his ribs are elevated, with a widened intercostal space. It is mostly seen in patients with tracheal asthma, chronic bronchitis etcetera leading to emphysema…”

nWhen she finished, Su Chu peeked at her grandpa’s solemn expression looking as if she was about to cry.

nCould it be that she was wrong? Her grandpa was very scary like this…

nThe emotions in the old man’s eyes were faint, causing Su Chu to become restless. She made sure to be alert as she looked at the pen on the form. The moment the pen finished marking, Su Chu jumped up instantly.

n“This is great! I answered it correctly! Gugu, it’s too hard, luckily I…” Speaking halfway, she suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly changed her sentence, “Luckily I usually work hard and study seriously!”

nShe had skimmed through this question in her book yesterday. At that time, she was just bored and looked at the picture of a cylindrical thorax.

nShe even daydreamed for a while. If not, who would go and memorize this on purpose?

nNo matter what, she had answered this question correctly. The old man was also delighted.

nHowever, the face he made towards his grandson was not as good-natured, even Gan Jinchen himself was unable to sit still. After all, the two girls were both younger than him but had done better than him. He would never be able to live past this embarrassment.

n“The second question. Write down the drug properties of these one hundred types of medicine,” said the old man as he took out three stacks of exam papers.

nComparing medical herbs? Gan Jinchen’s eyes lit up. He was most proficient in this area!

nScrambling to receive the exam papers, he had a bit more fighting spirit. Jing Yunzhao also did not waste her time to take the papers. She glanced through it and had gained some certainty within her heart.

nNot even mentioning the Jade scroll, just the weekly arranged assignments that Old Man Xu, that old monster, had given her were more complicated than this. According to the words of that Old Man Xu, if one did not even know the appearance, age and properties of medical herbs, then how reliable would the things one made be?
