Chapter Twenty-Four: Blessing and Hysteria

After the doctor re-examined Wu Luo and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, the woman who claimed to be Wu Zi invited the three of them to sit in the dormitory.

Wu Luo took advantage of the gap between his mother going in and out of boiling water and preparing tea, and seized the opportunity to entangle Xie Wei and inquire about the origin of the stones in her hands.

Xie Wei told everything he knew, Wu Luo was stunned when he heard it, only a pair of eyes were left in a flash, "In the words of the medicine girl, Wushan Shicheng can detain the goddess?" ”

"Yes." Xie Wei looked at him with anticipation on his face, and couldn't bear to say the phrase "children's play" on behalf of the doctor.

Wu Luo's face full of expectations and hidden worries suddenly turned into a smile, pretending to look at the worries mysteriously, and laughed in a low voice, "A month ago, my father went south to Xiangshui, and he once said that he wanted to find Wushan Stone, Father Yun, and his mother is a goddess in the sky, only Wushan Stone can be detained, so I went to find it." ”

“…… Your father ......" Xie Wu suddenly stopped talking, and raised his eyes to look under the door curtain.

Wu Zi stood there holding a tea tray against the light, unable to see the expression on her face, she could only see her clothes and belts being blown up by the wind outside the door, like the streamers worn by the heavenly maidens, volleying lightly, judging from this silhouette, she was also a graceful girl.

"Xuantang is indeed a goddess." Xie Wei smiled.

Wu Luo looked like he was honored, which showed that he also admired his mother's temperament.

"How does the medical girl know ......" Wu Zi approached quickly, and he didn't feel that the hot tea spilled on his hand, a fairly delicate face became gray and pale, and his lips trembled slightly, he grabbed Wu Luo's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Your father has been away from home for more than a month, and there have been many cross-examinations before, and the vertical son has not said a word, is he trying to trap your father in danger?!" ”

Xie Worried's eyes flashed slightly, she remembered that when she saw the doctor before, Wu Zi did not speak so literately, except for her denial of calling herself "Song Zi" at that time, she was like an ordinary peasant woman at other times.

But judging from the current conversation between her and Wu Luo, this Wu Zi and her child, as well as her husband who went to find the so-called Wushan Stone because of the legend of childishness, are all unusual characters.

Wu Luo was speechless by his mother's hysterical appearance, and the others were also very surprised by the instantaneous change in Wu Zi's state.

Only Xie Wei indifferently took a cup of tea from the tea tray and tasted it carefully.

The tea is slightly bitter, with the astringency of fresh plants and trees, and it is a tea soup boiled from fresh water-scented leaves.

In the ancient poem, it is said that Lanze has many fragrant grasses, Chudi ponds and marshes are abundant, and the climate is humid, which is suitable for the growth of all kinds of herbs.

However, although ordinary people in the countryside live next to herbs and herbs every day, they only treat them as weeds, and it is very unusual for Wu Zi to recognize these herbs and use them to make tea.

Wu Zi's out-of-control spirit quickly calmed down, quickly tidied up the child's neckline that was wrinkled by her, and began to wipe her tears, "Why did the vertical son hide from each other? Your father has not returned for more than a month, and he misses his mother so much that he can't get rid of his ...... day and night."

Wu Luo was not frightened by his mother's sudden change in love this time, but showed extraordinary calmness to her sudden sad crying, stroked her mother's back with her little hand, and comforted softly: "Father tasted the words, Wushan is half a month, he will return, and the mother should not worry." ”

The doctor and others looked at this scene with some amazement as the child comforted his mother in turn, and nodded slowly and sighed in a low voice: "I think this is hysteria." ”

"What is hysteria?" If you haven't heard of it, you haven't heard of it, and the doctor doesn't feel ashamed to ask a young girl to relieve her worries.

"Hysteria, mental illness too." Xie Xie calmly gave an innocuous definition, eased his nerves, and then explained in a low voice, "The patient, the behavior is as usual, but when he encounters sudden sorrow and sudden joy, or he is afraid of losing his mind, like Wu Zi." ”

Hysteria, more commonly known as hysteria, is a rather peculiar mental illness, triggered by strong stimuli or emotional changes, which can affect the emotions or the body, and the symptoms are generally not life-threatening, and can resolve on their own.

In the eyes of many people, this may just be a symptom of the patient's "squeamishness", but in fact, it is indeed a pain.

The doctor stroked his gray beard and carefully observed Wu Zi's situation at this time.

The woman was trembling and crying, and there was no calmness and generosity in inviting them to sit at home to show their gratitude, nor did she have the kind of dusty beauty that Fang had just stood under the door.

Indeed, as Xie Wei said, Wu Zi's love is transformed too quickly and too strongly, this is the so-called "hysteria"? What a peculiar condition.

"Is there a cure?" The focus of medical attention falls on healing.

Xie nodded affirmatively, "I wish you a good fortune." ”

The ancient miracle doctors, with Kan as a seat, and Shu as a dog. People seek medical treatment when they are sick, but they curse from the north, and they will be cured in ten words. Gu Zhu by the branch, this is also the reason.

The wisher, the curse, the cause, the cause of the disease.

At the end of the Warring States Period, when witch doctors had begun to separate, this kind of healing technique was only when people were terminally ill and there was no medicine to treat, or in places where it was really difficult for healers to get it, people would turn to witchcraft to save people.

Since Bian Que clearly included "believing in witches and not in doctors" in the "six incurables", the era of witches as ancient healers has passed.

Although the Mohists advocate the theory of "Ming ghosts" and believe that ghosts and gods are objectively guilty, they really want to ask how many people believe that charms and forbidden spells can cure people's diseases, but I am afraid that there is none.

Therefore, Xie Wei proposed that the surgery could cure the disease, and the doctor relieved and the doctor Shen wrinkled their brows.

"Whoever is sick with the organs of the limbs should be cured with poison." Xie Wei gestured on his arm, and then put his hand on his heart, "However, my mind is very sick, and I wish you well." ”

Poison, in ancient times, refers to various herbs, which is said to be biased, and no medicine is not poisonous.

Ancient medicine believed that the heart is the main god, and the human mind is governed by the heart, so the heart is covered with the hand to express one's own meaning.

"In the past, the ancients lived among the birds and beasts, the action was to avoid the cold, the shade dwelled to avoid the heat, there was no tiredness of twilight inside, and there was no form of official outside. Therefore, poison cannot cure the inside, and the needle stone cannot cure the outside, so it can be transferred to the self. ”

In ancient times, people lived a simple life, adapted to nature, had no worries in their hearts, had weak emotions, and were mentally guarded, so there was no wound of the seven emotions, and evil spirits could not be deeply violated. Therefore, there is no need to treat the internal organs with medication, and there is no need to treat the skin with needlestones. Even if there is a disease, as long as the patient is relieved of his spirit, changes the flow of qi, and uses a method called "Zhu Yu", the disease can be cured.

This is the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" on the "transfer of essence and change of qi" in the exposition, although the Neijing was written in the later Han Dynasty, but the truth described in it, for the doctor to listen, can understand.

The doctor is not stubborn, and after she explained it, she understood that the solution to her worries was to guide Wu Zi to calm down and carry out enlightenment treatment.
