Mei Lanfang took the old man home in a special car before he had time to unload and change clothes. He said to the old man respectfully: "The person who said something bad about me is my teacher. If the teacher says something bad about me, he must have a wise opinion. Please give me some advice. The student is determined to make up for it."

The old man pointed out: "According to Liyuan regulations, the steps for Yan Xijiao to go up and down the stairs should be seven up and eight down. Why is the doctor eight up and eight down?"

3. Bian Que, the miracle doctor

Once, the king of Qi wanted to call Bian Que "the best doctor in the world." However, Bian Que refused, saying that he was not the best in the world, and that his two brothers were better than him in medical skills. The king was a little puzzled when he heard this and asked: Since your two brothers are better than you in medical skills, why are these two unknown people?

Bian Que replied: "My second brother Bian Yan can cure serious diseases as well as minor ailments. Even when major diseases only show minor symptoms, he can diagnose and cure them in time. So he just stayed in his hometown. He is well-known in the village. People in the village know that if they have a minor problem, they can go to the second brother. The eldest brother Bian Hong is even more superb in medical skills and can prevent diseases before they occur. He can judge what ailment a person may have by just looking at him, and then treat him accordingly. He was treated in time before he got sick.

So only the family knows about my elder brother’s medical skills, and even the villagers don’t know about his skill. Only I, Bian Que, can neither cure serious illnesses nor prevent minor illnesses. The illness started before it happened, and by the time I recovered, the patient was already terminally ill, so my two unknown brothers were the miracle doctors, and I was just a famous doctor with a worldwide reputation.
