Crazy Psychologist

"Turkey? Could it be that you copied Liu Yun's book?"

Seeing Muchun's belated reaction, Yang Xing really couldn't laugh or cry.

"I thought you already knew."

"I'm a doctor, not a detective."

Muchun sat on the table and urged Yang Xing whether it was time to go to a nursing home.

"Is it another walk-and-talk treatment?" Yang Xing said with a smile.

Muchun jumped off the table, took off his white coat, and hung it on the hook next to the bookshelf. The boredom in his chest came again.

Yang Xing was very observant. He had already walked outside the clinic, then walked back quickly and almost reached out to support Mu Chun.

"Doctor Mu? Didn't you get a good rest?"

Muchun's chest hurt even more when he got closer to Yang Xing.

Could it be related to Yang Xing? If it is related to Yang Xing, what does it mean?

There was no time to think about it. The two of them walked on the wet street. There were indeed many more pedestrians than at lunch. .

The rain on the ground has not dried yet, and there will be a little splash with every step. Muchun's shoes were damp inside, and they hadn't dried out until noon.

"Yang Xing, are you familiar with perfume?"

When passing a cosmetics store, Muchun suddenly asked.

Yang Xing said happily: "Of course, you have to ask the right person about perfume. I know it very well. There are also cosmetics and dressing matching. I have spent a lot of effort to learn these."

"If you were given the smell of a perfume, would you know what ingredients it is made of?"

Yang Xing thought for a while and shook his head, "It can't be done. I haven't tried this before, but I can probably introduce it to Dr. Muchun. Look there."

Yang Xing pointed to a corner garden across the street. The roses were blooming brilliantly in the garden. After two days of heavy rain, they were now blooming again, especially bright red.

Above these roses, green branches stand straight upward, a bit like the game sticks I played when I was a child. Unfortunately, these game sticks are all dark green and densely packed. From a distance, they look like a small dark bamboo forest.

There are clusters of purple flowers above the bamboo forest, swaying slowly in the breeze after the rain. There will definitely be passers-by passing by and looking from a distance, they will imagine the lavender garden in Provence.

But in Muchunzhidao, the flower clusters emitting a strange purple light on the other side are not lavender, but a plant called verbena.

What Yang Xing wanted Mu Chun to see was also this common plant on the streets around Haihai in early summer - verbena.

The name of Verbena comes from the "Supplementary Materials of Materia Medica", which describes: "Purple flowers grow on festivals, like the knots of Verbena", hence the name Verbena. This grass likes to grow in a sunny, humid environment. It is neither tolerant to drought nor afraid of waterlogging. It is located at 31°14' north latitude and 121°29' east longitude. It has a subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons, sufficient sunshine and abundant rainfall. The climate is mild and humid, with short spring and autumn and long winter and summer. The environment is very suitable for this plant to propagate in large numbers.

Sometimes looking from a distance, it really feels like you are in a mini Provence.

People often stop and stop on the road, or are curious about the names of the dense purple flowers and plants on the roadside. You can't call all flowers red flowers, and call all grass grass.

Because it blooms luxuriantly, there are more people watching it, but there are many kinds of small flowers on the roadside, and not many people can really figure out the name of verbena.

The two of them crossed the road and came to the garden. A silver-haired old lady took out her mobile phone from the linen bag on her shoulder and started taking pictures of the verbena.

After taking several photos in a row, I was still not satisfied. The old lady looked to be in her eighties. It was already very difficult for her to hold the phone in place without shaking. The longer she held the phone to focus, the more her hands trembled.

Upon seeing this, Muchun walked up to the old lady and asked, "Grandma, do you think the wind is too strong and you can't take pictures clearly?"

The old lady's hearing was better than Muchun imagined. She nodded repeatedly, showed her golden front teeth and said with a smile, "Brother, I like this flower very much. I saw it on the other side of the road and thought it looked good. Come over and take some photos. But this branch is too thin and keeps swaying. I can still take panoramic shots, but if I want to take a close-up shot, I just focus on one flower and it will be blurry no matter how I take it."

"Then I'll hold one for you and fix it. I often ask my friends to help me when taking pictures. Don't take pictures of my hands. Just take pictures of flowers." Yang Xing volunteered to help the old lady take pictures. .

The old lady followed Yang Xing's instructions and finished the filming in one go. She thanked Muchun and Yang Xing repeatedly, and the two men felt embarrassed on the side of the road.

Mrs. Lai was about to leave after taking the photo, and asked casually, "This flower looks beautiful. Do you know what kind of flower it is?"

"Grandma, this is verbena. There are a lot of these plants on the streets around Haihai recently. They are very beautiful to take pictures, right?"

The old lady repeated, "Verbena." She waved happily to Muchun and the others.

On the way to Zhinan Auxiliary, Yang Xing told Mu Chun, "Verbena is often used to make perfume. Many people also think that its smell has some mysterious power. For example, some female communities will praise this plant. Made incense, candle or perfume.”

"The whole plant of Verbena can be used as medicine. It is very useful in clearing heat, detoxifying, dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain. What kind of female community would like perfume made from this plant?"

"I know about the astrology community, because verbena is often associated with vampires in many movies and TV shows. Dr. Muchun should know some, such as "The Vampire Diaries", that famous American drama about two brothers who like each other. In an American TV series about a human girl, the vampire in it is particularly afraid of a plant called vervain, which is verbena."

"Astrology community? What other community?"

Muchun asked next.

"There seems to be a yoga community? Hey, Dr. Muchun doesn't know. There are many various communities now, as many as..." After Yang Xing finished speaking, he patted his chest playfully, and then said: "Now what? They all have communities, but Dr. Muchun doesn’t seem to know about them.”

Muchun:.

I really only understand it a little bit.

However, verbena was indeed a plant widely used by ancient witches. Witches believed that verbena was the sacred herb of Diana, so this plant was frequently used in various rituals and magic, such as.

Thinking of this, Muchun suddenly understood what the five-pointed star meant.

Could it be that this five-pointed star and the five fragrances in the vegetarian restaurant all represent five-pointed stars?

Thinking along this clue, are these five locations on the map related to the five-pointed star? Is there a mysterious ritual behind this?

"Yang Xing, have you used any perfume containing verbena recently?"

Yang Xing shook his head, "I have never used verbena-flavored perfume. I like perfume with more personality, such as Rudan's Water. However, this kind of perfume has been introduced by many up owners on station B. The aldehyde floral fragrance consists of citrus, magnolia, mint, clary sage and musk. It has a strong smell, and the smell of citrus and musk is suitable for both men and women. This is a unisex fragrance."

"So is there anyone around Yang Xing who uses the scent of verbena?"

"It seems that the fragrance used by my girlfriend who lives with me has the smell of verbena in it. Did Dr. Muchun smell it on me?" Yang Xing turned his face to his collar and smelled it, but found no verbena. smell.

"It seems not." Yang Xing said to himself.

Arriving at Grandma Tong's ward, Li Xiumei immediately greeted her with a smile, and then complained to Yang Xing and Muchun, "My mother, the only thing she thinks about is her little son, and she doesn't take me seriously at all. "

Muchun nodded without saying a word.

"By the way, Doctor Yang, I invite you to come here for one more thing. Can you do me a favor?"

"What?" Yang Xing asked kindly.

"Me." Li Xiumei leaned close to Yang Xing's ear, stood on tiptoes, took Yang Xing's arm and said a bunch of words that Muchun couldn't hear.

After hearing this, Yang Xing frowned and said, "No, Grandma Tong won't listen to me either."

"Okay, that's fine. My mother likes young, good-looking boys like you, who are clean and polite. As long as you persuade her, it will definitely work."

Li Xiumei called Yang Xing over. One of the purposes was because Granny Tong really didn't want to eat. The other purpose was to ask Yang Xing to help persuade the old lady to hand over her bank book.

Li Xiumei said that after suddenly taking so many medicines this time, she was worried that if something like this happened to the old lady again, no one would know where her bankbook was. If this person suddenly disappeared, it would not be her life savings. All given to the bank.

Yang Xing looked at Mu Chun hesitantly. Mu Chun smiled and said, "Take good care of the old man. I'll go to the outpatient department first."

Yang Xing understood and immediately understood the meaning of Muchun's words.

Muchun said hello to Grandma Tong, and seeing that she was recovering well, he left the ward with peace of mind and walked to the outpatient building.

The first thing Muchun did when he came to Zhinan Affiliated Hospital today was to agree with Zhang Wenwen to take a look at Professor Chu's new examination report. Another reason was that Mu Chun wanted to see Mu Xiao.

Since receiving the text message on the way back to the hospital from the restaurant with Dean Jia at noon, Muchun has always felt like being spied on.

Mu Chun had felt this way before. Mu Xiao and he often used the phrase "there's someone behind the back" to express this weird sense of voyeurism.

When Muchun walked into Zhang Wenwen's office, she saw him smiling playfully at the door.

This handsome and sunny smile diluted Muchun's worried mood a lot. It seemed that Professor Chu's condition should be relatively stable.

"Dr. Muchun, why are you here so soon? Are all the patients in the Psychosomatic Department of Huayuanqiao Hospital asking for leave today? You can actually come to Zhinan Affiliated at this time in the afternoon?"

"Stop joking, how is the teacher's condition?" Muchun asked seriously.

Zhang Wenwen immediately became serious and handed the pink coffee cup to Muchun, "Drink."

"I won't drink." Muchun took a step back.

"This is a new cup. I have just brewed the coffee and haven't had a sip of it. I see that you are not in good spirits. It is rare to see the beauty Muchun look so bad. I feel sorry for you from the bottom of my heart."

Before Zhang Wenwen finished speaking, Muchun already knew what he was going to say at this time, and immediately interrupted: "That word is used to describe women, right? Dr. Zhang has studied abroad for a long time, so he needs to review our idioms more. Don't use Improper words. If you use inappropriate words when the patient is fine, it will cause misunderstanding, and the consequences will be serious."

"How is it possible? I've explained all the conditions clearly here. I'm afraid it's not easy to explain the conditions in the psychosomatic department. I can't imagine how Dr. Muchun can make patients understand the obscure theories in the psychosomatic department. You explain the condition to the patient. It must be much more difficult than it was for me. I also have diagnostic imaging to help, and you will probably need a fluoroscopy."

"Perspective?" Mu Chun was surprised.

"Well, it's like peering into the mind."

"Whatever there is, it's all about science, experience, and an accepting heart."

Muchun felt confident.

"Harm, I mean, it's really difficult to explain the issues in the Department of Psychosomatics in easy-to-understand terms. For example, I recently read the book I picked up at the professor's house during the New Year, and I couldn't read the words in it. I know it, but I feel it’s not easy to understand at all, and it’s very difficult to understand. I’m really worried if I become a professor in the future.”

Zhang Wenwen stopped abruptly mid-sentence, and Muchun's nerves tensed up instantly.

"What's going on? Did the professor's test result yesterday be bad?"

Although he knew before that the professor might not be able to wait smoothly until after the annual meeting, Muchun still didn't want the change to come too early, and it was best not to come at all.

This is human nature. Regardless of whether prayer is useful or not, people will subjectively hope that if bad luck will definitely come, the sooner the better.

"No, nothing much has changed. The things I'm worried about have been discussed from the beginning."

"Zhang Wenwen, please make it clear." Muchun sighed.

At this moment, Zhang Wenwen shouted: "Senior Xiao, you are finally here."

"You called me here in such a hurry. Are you here to move reinforcements?" Mu Xiao put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and leaned on the door frame.

"When I discuss the professor's condition with Muchun, the funniest senior is always present. I'm afraid that Mu Chun will eat me up if he gets upset."

"You really think about it."

"What I said is true. If there is anyone in this world who can make Dr. Muchun lose his composure, it is probably Professor Chu."

Zhang Wenwen actually couldn't calm down. The more relaxed he smiled, the more nervous he felt.

Muchun gradually realized this, but if he didn't count on Zhang Wenwen, who could he count on?

Do we expect the professor's condition to improve naturally?

When Mu Xiao walked into the room, Mu Chun suddenly smelled the fragrance of verbena.

Yes, the smell that has been lingering around him recently must contain verbena.

"Xiaoxiao, did you use perfume?"

"Yes." Mu Xiao said.

"What brand of perfume?" Muchun asked anxiously.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Mu Chun's sudden panic, Mu Xiao suddenly became alert.

"No, I'm just worried about something, but it shouldn't be such a coincidence. Let's discuss the professor's affairs first. How is the professor's condition?"
