In both cases, like the others, there is no name or date of the patient, but some clues can be deduced from some details.

According to the records of the case, the age of this adult man is 'not confused', that is, about 40 years old, which is not the same as those previous cases, which have the specific age of the patient, but this is not, 'not confused up and down' is a very general concept.

For TCM, the specific age of the patient has a great impact on the diagnosis and treatment and the administration of medicine, and if the specific age of the patient can be known, the Master will never use this vague statement, which shows that the Master could not determine the specific age of the other party at that time.

In addition, the case also recorded that the adult man's words were so rapid that blood spilled from his mouth and nose. This sentence means that as long as this person speaks a lot, or if he speaks too fast, he will vomit blood, which means that this adult man can speak at that time, and since he can speak, why can't the master determine his specific age?

As for this person's symptoms, Master's record was, 'Frequent coughing and vomiting of blood, shortness of breath, swelling of the face, numbness of the hands and feet, and repeated pulling of long hair to resist the headache.' ’

Master is a person of the older generation, and the words used to record cases and cases are relatively brief, but Wu Zhongyuan has followed Master for many years and has been familiar with his habit of remembering, and keenly found another clue from this passage, this man will pull his hair when he has an unbearable headache, and it is long hair, which he ignored before, and carefully recall, the bones seen in the coffin that day were indeed long hair.

For the person's disease, Master used the method of elimination, first to rule out the common cough, then to rule out wheezing and wheezing, because the person's condition did not worsen when he was lying down, and then to rule out tuberculosis, on the basis that the person was not emaciated.

Finally, it was determined that this person was a malignant lung disease, which was called lung cancer at this time.

The medicinal ones are raw astragalus, raw atractylodes, dried almonds, aster, winter flowers, dilong, ephedra and raw licorice, and after taking the medicine, it was observed that there was a slight improvement.

The next day, the wheezing was slightly flattened, but the coughing up blood was still there. ”

Master took a total of three medicines, so it can be seen that this person received treatment for three days after meeting Master, and the case is recorded as 'When the time comes, the illness is relieved.' At the time of Shen Shiyin, the illness worsened. This also shows that during the treatment period, the Master stayed with this person, otherwise it would not have been possible to observe him so carefully.

The final result of the treatment was not recorded by Master, but judging from the fact that these three pairs of medicines have been increasing or decreasing the herbs and the amount of medicine, Master has not found an effective treatment in the end.

Then there is the account of the eight-month-old baby, and if nothing else, the eight-month-old baby should be him, and the record of the baby's age is 'about eight months old', which means that the master judged his age based on the teeth he had just grown, and he did not know it from the adult man.

Since this adult man was able to speak, and he had been with Master for three days, why didn't they communicate? Could it be that this adult man was a madman?

If you think about it, this is not very likely, because if you were a madman, Master would not have failed to mark the case.

His symptoms were very similar to those of the adult man, except that the symptoms were not so severe, and the master did not specify what disease he had, but only wrote down the name and dosage of the herbs used to calm the lungs and relieve cough.

Through this, it can be seen that Master was very confused at that time, because he had the same symptoms as the adult man, and Master's diagnosis of the adult man was lung cancer, but the cancer was not contagious, which means that Master probably also knew that his diagnosis of the adult man was not necessarily correct.

After carefully reading these two case records, Wu Zhongyuan became more and more puzzled, the clues stripped from the cases were very fragmentary, one was that he appeared with the man in the coffin.

The second is that he was only eight months old at the time.

The third useful clue is that this man lived for three more days after meeting the Master, and he could speak, but he did not communicate with the Master.

Fourth, the man and he both had the same disease at the time.

There is also the fact that this man was wearing clothes when he met the Master, because there is a sentence about his case: 'There are two pieces of blood on the placket of the shirt, which should be left by two vomiting blood.' If there is a garment, there will be a garment.

If this man was wearing clothes at the time, why was he buried naked when he died? Could it be that the Master burned his clothes because he was worried about an infectious disease?

If you think about it, it's not right, because there is no difference between burning and burying it, and burying people naked is disrespectful to the dead.

The dormitory was very quiet, Wu Zhongyuan tried his best to organize many clues in his mind, but the clues were not only fragmented, but also very weird, full of suspicions, the master did not mention any abnormalities in this man's appearance in the case, which is not common sense at all, because if the master knew that this person had a bird's beak, it would be impossible to treat him as an ordinary person.

And although the master is a Taoist priest, he is not very bold, and if this person has a bird's beak, he will definitely frighten him.

It's a pity that Master doesn't have the habit of keeping a diary, and what he has at the moment is only a case instead of a diary, and the clues are fragmented and difficult to connect.

It doesn't feel good to be kept in the dark, the more he can't think of why, the more confused Wu Zhongyuan is, the more confused he is, the more eager he is to explore the truth, but the clues are insufficient, no matter how much he wants to break his head, he can't come up with a reasonable answer.

Thinking is very tiring, focused thinking is even more tiring, and soon Wu Zhongyuan was tired and groggy and wanted to sleep.

When I went to bed, I always had to take off my clothes, so I sat up in a daze and unbuttoned my clothes, and at this moment, a flash of inspiration, clothes, although Master's case did not indicate what clothes he was wearing at that time, there was a sentence: 'The swaddling clothes have a strange fragrance, it should be sandalwood to calm the nerves.' ’

He didn't remember what his swaddling clothes looked like, and he had never heard Master talk about it, but there was one thing he had the impression that he and his brother had a few purple patches on the mosquito nets, and the patches were scented to repel mosquitoes.

My brother's mosquito net was taken to the mine a few years ago, and it is estimated that it was thrown away, and he has to go to school, so he can't always have a mosquito net with patches, so the mosquito net he used before is still at home.

The patch on the mosquito net was part of his swaddling clothes, which is also an important clue.

Thinking of this, his heart was overjoyed, but the joy soon turned into chagrin, because he suddenly remembered that his home had been demolished, and that it had been seven or eight days, and the ruins might have been pulled away.

Thinking of this, where can I still sleep, I can't wait for dawn, put on my shoes and run downstairs.

At this time, it was already late at night, and he didn't go out of the door, but went directly out of the west wall, performed light skills, and ran wildly south.

After running for a few miles, I suddenly remembered something, oh no, now there is surveillance everywhere, running so fast, in case it is photographed by surveillance, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain.

He now has money on him, but he is reluctant to use it, so he still climbs the car at the intersection, and he is worried all the way, until he reaches the bottom of the mountain and sees the pile of ruins.

To practice kung fu, you have to practice qi, people who practice qi can see things clearly at night, and they don't need lighting, they just rummage through the ruins, fortunately, the mosquito net is still there, the two patches are also there, tear it off, sniff it, it's the fragrance of sandalwood, but it's been a long time, and the fragrance is not so strong.

On the way back, I came back by bus, brought three bags of apricots, and gave the driver a bag after getting on the bus.

When he arrived at the county seat, he called Lin Qingming again and wanted to send apricots to him to eat, but Lin Qingming was not in the county and accompanied the boss to the capital on a business trip.

put down the phone, went to the factory where Huang Ping worked to find Huang Ping, and gave her a bag of apricots.

Lin Qingming was not there, so he had an extra bag, thought about it, went to the hospital, looked for Dean Wang, last time the family confiscated the medical expenses, and sent a car to send him back, thank you.

Dean Wang didn't expect Wu Zhongyuan to take the initiative to find him, and he was very surprised to see him, so he politely sent off the guests he was receiving and welcomed him in warmly.

Sometimes, what people value is just an attitude, Dean Wang has never seen any gifts, but he is still very happy to see Wu Zhongyuan send apricots, which shows that this young man is a polite person and a person who knows how to repay kindness.

In order to avoid affecting Wu Zhongyuan's life, Dean Wang did not conduct a more detailed examination from China, but entrusted a classmate who was abroad to try to bring a small blood sample to a foreign country, and there was no response yet.

However, there has been progress on the tattoo on Wu Zhongyuan's body, and the dragon head tattoo on Wu Zhongyuan's body is very different from the common dragon shape in modern times, and there is no similarity with it, but a scholar friend known to Dean Wang has seen a similar dragon-shaped pattern.

Dean Wang took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "Take a look at it yourself, flip it back, there are several." ”

Wu Zhongyuan took the phone and looked at it one by one, the photo was a bronze that he couldn't name, with a dragon cast on it, this is a complete dragon, look at the dragon's head, it is indeed somewhat similar to his own tattoo, but it is not exactly the same.

"This is a sacrificial copper bottle of the Shang Dynasty. Dean Wang said.

Wu Zhongyuan returned the mobile phone to Dean Wang, "It's a little similar, but the dragon whiskers are not the same as the dragon horns, and the eyes are not quite similar, the dragon on this one has bigger eyes than mine." ”

"You're right," Dean Wang nodded, "I've also compared it carefully, there are indeed differences, but on the whole it's still very similar, in order not to affect your normal life, it's inconvenient for me to further expand the scope of insiders, so I can't verify it on a large scale at present, and I can't determine which of these two patterns is older in a short period of time." ”

"Thank you, Dean Wang. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Dean Wang waved his hand, "After the exam, how was the exam?"

"It's ok. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Dean Wang knew some of Wu Zhongyuan's situation and took the initiative to say, "If there are no other arrangements, it is better to come to the hospital to do a few days of short-term work, and also get in touch with the society in advance." ”

"Thank you, Dean Wang. Wu Zhongyuan got up and thanked him.

Dean Wang raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "What do you like to do?"

"As long as you don't go to the morgue vigil, anything else will do. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Hahaha," Dean Wang said with a smile, "The morgue of the hospital is all locked, and there is no need to keep vigil at all, so let's arrange for you to direct the parking." ”

All Wu Zhongyuan could do was to thank him again.

Dean Wang picked up the phone on the table and dialed the internal number, "Is there a place to live?"

"I still live in the school. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"The school is too far from here, move here, and I'll arrange a place for you to live." Speaking of which, the phone was connected, Dean Wang briefly said a few words to the other party, hung up the phone and said to Wu Zhongyuan, "You go to the eighth floor to find Section Chief Gao, and he will arrange it for you." ”

Wu Zhongyuan thanked him and got up, hesitated, and walked out.

"Is there anything else?" asked Dean Wang.

Wu Zhongyuan stopped and turned around, "Dean Wang, I have something here, can you find someone to help me test it?"

"What?" asked Dean Wang.

Wu Zhongyuan walked back to the table and took out a patch, "This." ”

Dean Wang took the patch and looked at it carefully, "The fabric hospital can't test it, what is this, where did it come from?"

"This is what was wrapped on my little quilt when I was a kid. Wu Zhongyuan said.

When Dean Wang heard this, he hurriedly stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you to find a place to test." ”

"It's okay, you're busy, I'm not in a hurry. Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed.

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I haven't slept well in the past few days. Dean Wang pulled the door and went out.

Passing by the eighth floor, Dean Wang personally went to explain a few words to Section Chief Gao, and then took Wu Zhongyuan downstairs, got into the car, and said to the driver, "Go to the Institute of Botany." ”

After the car started, Wu Zhongyuan said, "Dean Wang, I still have a question for you." ”

"You say. Dean Wang was still looking at the patch.

"There is a disease that will cough and vomit blood, shortness of breath, swelling of the face, and numbness of the hands and feet, what kind of disease is this?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"According to your description, this should be an acute respiratory illness. Dean Wang replied casually.

"When it hurts, I can't help but pull my hair. Wu Zhongyuan added.

Dean Wang frowned slightly, tried to think hard, and did not answer.

Seeing that his supplement failed to provide Dean Wang with a further basis for judgment, Wu Zhongyuan said, "The symptoms of this disease can be reduced at 90 o'clock in the morning and 90 o'clock in the evening, and it will be aggravated at 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon and 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. ”

"Insufficient oxygen intake," Dean Wang immediately made an accurate judgment, "This disease is directly related to the change in air pressure in a day, and it is also related to the altitude. ”

"Is there any other possibility besides the altitude?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Dean Wang thought for a while and said, "Yes, if a person suddenly appears in a place with very poor air quality from a place with very good air quality, he will also have similar symptoms......
