Doctor Su's real name is Su Jinsan. In the early years of the Republic of China, he opened a clinic to practice medicine in Xiaobailou area.Even foreigners who broke their arms and legs in horse racing came to beg him. He is tall and long, with thin and strong hands, in his fifties, red lips and white teeth, eyes like lamps, a goatee beard on his chin, black and shiny after being soaked in oil.He opened his mouth to speak, and the voice came out of his chest, with the qi of his dantian, the sound was the same from far and near. If he had entered the class to learn opera back then, he would definitely be Jin Shaoshan's enemy.His movements are even more "clean, quick and quick". When someone comes to him with a broken tendon or bone, what about him?With the touch of a finger, the flesh is cut through the skin, what's going on inside, and the eyes are immediately clear.All of a sudden, his hands matched a pair of white birds, flying up and down, as fast as lightning, and only heard "click, click", before the patient felt the pain, the broken bone was connected.A piece of plaster was applied, a splint was put on, and the patient went back to recover.If you come again, you must have bowed and thanked Daen for sending the plaque.

When a person has ability, his temper is accurate.Dr. Su has a special rule, anyone who comes to see a doctor, regardless of whether he is rich or poor, must put seven silver dollars on the table before he is willing to see a doctor, otherwise he will not respond.What is this called a rule?This is his rule!People scolded him for recognizing money but disregarding people, and his ability was worth seven yuan. For some reason, he got a derogatory nickname: Su Qiyuan.He was called Dr. Su to his face, and Su Qikuai behind his back. No one knew his real name, Su Jinsan. Dr. Su is fond of playing poker, and when he was free one day, two poker friends came to play, and when they were short of one, they invited Dr. Hua, a dentist not far north of the street, to join them at the table.He was in the middle of playing, when suddenly the tricycle driver Zhang Si barged in, leaned against the door, resting his left elbow on his right hand, his head was dripping with sweat, and the coat around his neck was wet, obviously he broke his arm, and it hurt so much strong enough.But the tricycle driver earns a day and eats a day, so how can he get seven silver dollars?He said he owed Dr. Su first, and he would pay it back later, and he still grunted in pain when he spoke.Unexpectedly, Dr. Su didn't listen to the game, and continued to draw cards, count cards and play cards, whether happy or worried or surprised or pretending not to be surprised, his mind was all on the card table.A poker player couldn't see the past and pointed his finger out the door, but Dr. Su still kept his eyes on the cards. The nickname "Su Qikuai" is absolutely clear.

Dentist Dr. Hua is famous for his kindness. He pushed to pee, left the poker table and walked to the backyard, got out the back door, went around to the front street, and quietly greeted Zhang Si who was leaning against the door from a distance. The silver dollar was given to him.Without waiting for Zhang Si to be grateful, he turned around and went back the same way, entered the room and sat back at the card table, and continued playing cards as if nothing had happened. After a while, Zhang Si walked into the room crookedly, and put seven silver dollars on the table with a "wow", which was faster than ringing a bell. Dr. Su was already standing in front of Zhang Si, rolled up his sleeves, and stretched Zhang Si's arm Put it on the table, pinch the bones a few times, pull left and right with your hands, and press down and up.Zhang Si shrugged his shoulders, shrunk his neck, closed his eyes and bared his teeth, ready to be beaten hard, but Dr. Su said, "It's done." Immediately, he applied ointment, clamped the splint, and gave Zhang Si a few packs of oral medicine for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. .Zhang Si said that he had no more money to pay for the medicine, and Dr. Su just said, "I'll give you the medicine." Then he went back to the card table.

Today's cards have their own winners and losers, and it's endless. It wasn't until the time to light up the lights that my stomach was screaming, and everyone dispersed.Before going out, Dr. Su stretched out his thin hand to stop Dr. Hua, leaving him alone.After the two poker players left, he took out seven silver dollars from the pile of silver dollars in front of his seat, and put them in Doctor Hua's palm.Doctor Hua said in astonishment: "There is something I have to tell you. Don't think that I am not kind, it's just that the rules I set up cannot be changed!"

Dr. Hua took these words back home and pondered for three days and three nights, but in the end he couldn't understand the deep meaning of Dr. Su's words.But he admired Dr. Su from the bottom of his heart.
