Chapter 890: Cold Medicine

Lin Yuan suddenly knew the problem, it was the problem of this mountain spring water!

After resting for a while, Lin Yuan asked Hong Lei to take him to see what the mountain spring water was like. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the early years, the water supply of Hongjiazhai was taken from the edge of the village, and the water came back after walking several miles. Later, the cadres of the local department in Yang'an who helped Hongjiazhai saw that it was inconvenient to get water in this way.

But there is no such condition for installing tap water in Hongjiazhai, so according to local conditions, the mountain spring water is led to a low-lying place on the edge of Hongjiazhai by bamboo.

In this low-lying place, building a reservoir makes it much more convenient for people in Hongjiazhai to fetch water.

Lin Yuan followed Hong Lei to the reservoir, took out some with his hand, and put it in his mouth to taste, the taste similar to mint was even richer.

"Lord Hongzhai, has this mountain spring water always tasted like this?"

Hong Lei smiled: "What kind of taste can mountain spring water have? It has always been like this." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and asked Hong Lei to take himself along the pipeline to receive the water, all the way to the source of the spring.

At the water connection of the pipeline, a reservoir is still built, and the mountain spring gathers here from the surrounding area, and flows to the reservoir below through the pipeline, which becomes the drinking water of Hongjiazhai people.

Lin Yuan can be sure that the leg and foot problems of Hong Lei and his wife come from water, but how can there be such a cold medicine smell like mint in this mountain spring water?

Thinking about it, Lin Yuan inadvertently saw that where the spring water flowed, it was a clear and turquoise bamboo forest. In the past, Lin Yuan would not have paid much attention to bamboo, but since he was injured by a bamboo knife, Lin Yuan has paid special attention to the shape of bamboo.

Lin Yuan found that the bamboo here was different from the bamboo he saw when he entered Hongjiazhai. The bamboo forest outside, where the thick bamboo knots, will have a yellowing phenomenon, but the bamboo here has no signs of yellowing.

"Lord Hongzhai, this is probably the jasper bamboo unique to Hongjiazhai, right?"

"Yes, this jasper bamboo is a good thing, when the weather is the hottest, use its leaves to soak in water, that is very relieving of the heat. ”

Lin Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly stepped forward, picked a few bamboo leaves, and put them in his mouth to chew, yes, the mint-like taste in the spring water was exactly the same as this bamboo leaf.

It seems that the root of the problem lies in the bamboo leaves of the jasper bamboo.

This bamboo leaf should be something unique to this place, and in all the medical classics that Lin Yuan saw, there was no record of jasper bamboo leaves.

If a Chinese medicine practitioner discovers it, it will definitely be written in the Chinese medicine classics. According to Lin Yuan's understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, jasper bamboo leaves are cold, and compared with mint and cold, jasper bamboo leaves are better.

In terms of evacuating wind and heat, clearing the head, dispelling the pharynx, and dredging the liver qi, jasper bamboo leaves are significantly stronger than peppermint. The most important thing is that the extremely cool nature of jasper bamboo leaves is likely to have a very good effect on detoxification.

Lin Yuan carefully collected some jasper bamboo leaves and sealed them, he wanted to treat these things as samples and send them to the famous family for identification.

Hong Lei looked at it and said to Lin Yuan: "President Lin, you saved your third daughter-in-law, and you are our great benefactor in Hongjiazhai, so it stands to reason that we will meet any request you make." But there is one thing, the rules left by the ancestors, no one is allowed to fight the idea of jasper bamboo, if you want to develop something like that, it's better to save it. ”

Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard this, but he never expected that even if it was a life-saving grace, it would not be enough to impress the people of Hongjiazhai.

Seriously, Lin Yuan really thought about it, because the medicinal effect of jasper bamboo leaves may not be comparable to that of ginseng grass, but it is very likely to be a newly discovered cold medicine.

Contemporary society because of the improvement of living standards, the things eaten are mellow, fat and super sweet, the body will be very hot and damp poison, ordinary mint and other cold medicines, I am afraid that I will not be able to take such a hot fire damp poison disease, increasing the amount of medicine may not help, the discovery of this jasper bamboo leaf, should have a very broad market prospects.

But the people of Hongjiazhai are not interested in development.

I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so Lin Yuan could only comfort himself like this.

"Lord Hongzhai, I want to ask, is it more than ten years ago, there were very few people like you and your wife who suddenly became ill on their legs and feet, but recently the incidence rate is very high?"

Hong Lei thought for a while and said: "It seems that yes, starting from my generation, the incidence of cold legs is particularly high in middle-aged and elderly people. President Lin, is it the problem with this mountain spring water? Probably not? Our ancestors have been drinking this water for generations. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's still a problem with the mountain spring water." Lord Hongzhai, you see, what is the difference between you drinking mountain spring water and more than ten years ago?"

Hong Lei looked in the direction that Lin Yuan pointed, thought for a while and said, "President Lin, do you mean that in the past, I went to the mountains to fetch water, but now I lead it to the bottom of the mountains, is it a problem with the pipeline?"

"Not really. You see, the spring water in the mountain was originally collected here, and then the people in the village came to fetch water, right? The water storage place here was not blocked, because it was necessary to drink water down the mountain, so the collected spring water was covered to prevent debris from falling in. ”

Lin Yuan analyzed in detail that the mountain spring water flows through the root system of jasper bamboo, and it will carry some medicinal ingredients of jasper bamboo, which are gathered together, and when they are exposed to the sun, the medicinal properties will be removed.

However, in order to ensure that the water is diverted from debris, a lid is added to the place where the water is collected, which also blocks the sunlight. Without sunlight, the ingredients of the cold medicine in the spring water will not be volatilized.

The water connection at the bottom of the mountain is also shielded to avoid contact with debris. In this way, the cool medicine in the spring water has reached the homes of the villagers.

The people of Hongjiazhai drink all the water directly, which is equivalent to drinking water with cold medicine every day. You know, people drink a lot of water in a day, especially in a hot area like Nanhu.

Over time, cool drugs have been working in the human body, coupled with the humid climate in the south, the two-phase effect will lead to a cold physique, which will produce soreness in the legs and feet, and even rheumatism.

No wonder in the last ten years or so that more and more people in the village have problems with their legs and feet, and their feelings are caused by this water. I immediately called someone and smashed the lid down the hill, and it really killed it. ”

"Don't get excited, in fact, it's still good to add a lid, after all, it can block debris from entering the water source. In this way, you just need to tell the people in the village that after returning from fetching water, you will be fine in the sun for half a day and then drink it. ”

Hong Lei nodded, looked at other places with Lin Yuan, and the two returned to the village.

Lin Yuan asked Hong En to hurry up and send out the bamboo leaves he collected by courier according to the address he gave, which was very important. Lin Yuan didn't tell Hong Lei all the jasper bamboo leaves, because he didn't know what kind of effect the jasper bamboo leaves had.

Southerners generally drink cold drinks such as mint to combat the scorching heat of the south. However, there are very few people who suffer from serious diseases because of long-term consumption of such medicinal drinks.

The people of Hongjiazhai and the mountain spring water containing the medicinal properties of jasper bamboo showed symptoms of rheumatism, which made Lin Yuan feel that the cool medicinal properties of jasper bamboo leaves were probably more than ten times that of cold medicines beyond that of mint.

Therefore, Lin Yuan asked Hong En to send the sample quickly, and it was Xie Zhikun, Wang Boyuan and other traditional Chinese medicine players who received jasper bamboo leaves, and Dang Shaobo would also receive a copy. Dang Shaobo is in the base of Jiwang County, and there are various scientific instruments, which can more intuitively detect the medicinal properties of jasper bamboo leaves.

Hong En left with a sample of jasper bamboo leaves, and Lin Yuan stayed behind to consult the people in the village who were guilty of cold legs.

The results were shocking, and seventy percent of those over 50 years old in the village had more or less cold legs.

What's worse is that these people, without exception, all used the force provided by Sima Lin with added materials to pull out the cold powder, this plaster can only relieve the pain for a while, but for the condition, it is only worse, and there is no treatment effect.

What made Lin Yuan's heart ache was that after the patient used it, because the plaster was effective in suppressing the symptoms, the cold leg symptoms rebounded very badly, so that without the plaster provided by Sima Lin, he couldn't bear the pain of the cold leg attack.

This is the most taboo situation in both Chinese and Western medicine - bad disease.

Bad disease, to a certain extent, is more difficult to treat than a terminal illness. Because the terminal illness has not been treated, there may be a glimmer of life if you think of it. Bad disease, on the other hand, is the cure of the disease, and the doctor who takes over after has almost no way to deal with the bad disease.

The biggest problem for these cured patients in Hongjiazhai is the pain when the symptoms occur, and the taste is simply unbearable.

If you want to stop the pain, you must use the kind of plaster that Sima Lin made out to hurt the heavens and reason, and using that plaster is tantamount to drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, and when the plaster has no effect, these patients can die of pain!

Lin Yuan has never been so angry, Sima Lin's approach is not only to use fake drugs to harm people's lives, it is simply a loss of conscience!

But Lin Yuan can't be in a hurry, because the popularity that Sima Lin established in Hongjiazhai is not bad. Even Hong Lei, the person who suffered the most, was skeptical of Lin Yuan's judgment.

Lin Yuan thought for a while, this matter must be considered in the long run. If you want to change the views of Hongjiazhai people, you can't do it overnight.

Looking at the patients who were suffering from the pain of cold legs, Lin Yuan could only use acupuncture to relieve their pain, but fortunately, Lin Yuan used acupuncture to save the lives of his three daughters-in-law.

But this kind of treatment is very mentally and physically draining. At the end of the day, Lin Yuan almost collapsed from exhaustion.

In the evening, Hong Lei was called away by the people in the village. Lin Yuan was about to rest, Hong Xuetai suddenly ran to Hong Lei's house, saying that a family in the village suddenly fell ill, and asked Lin Yuan to go over and take a look.

Lin Yuan didn't care about his own exhaustion, and followed Hong Xuetai out of Hong Lei's house.
