Chapter 062: Cordyceps

"Bangbang ~ Hai Shi Second Watch, close the doors and windows, anti-theft and anti-theft"

Call! Shu Hui woke up from her dream abruptly, only to realize that she had fallen asleep directly on Zhuo Mengling's body.

There seemed to be slippery blood left all over his body; The screams of the devils are still in my ears; Those hollow eye sockets were faintly hidden in the candlelight, staring at him...... Even with the air conditioner on her body, Shuhui felt that the cold sweat had soaked her underwear.

"I killed you alive, and you dare to become a ghost to ask for your life?" After sobering up, Shu Hui was not afraid at all: "Ask for my life, so that I can also become a powerful ghost and kill their ghosts?" ”

Ending a life with equal wisdom with one's own hands, even if it is to save people, is not something that can be easily relieved. Shu Hui simply didn't think about these questions anymore, time would dilute everything.

"But wouldn't it be a bit of a hassle to do that? Now in a society governed by the rule of law, it is necessary to engage in private executions......"

Shu Hui looked at Zhuo Mengling's long eyelashes in a daze, but she was thinking about the aftermath of this incident.

"By the way, I'm still a kid! Even if you kill someone, there is still a law for the protection of minors, what are you afraid of. ”

According to Tang Law, those who are under 15 years old and over 70 years old will have their sentences commuted; Under the age of 10, only homicide, wounding and theft are subject to discretionary sentencing; If a person under the age of 7 is guilty of a capital offence, the sentence will not be increased.

It's just impunity! Even if Shu Hui slaughters a city now, according to the law, he doesn't need to be punished. But if that happens, I'm afraid it won't be a criminal case that just needs to be arrested, but a terrorist attack that needs to be dealt with by the military, and who cares if the law is not legal at that time?

Shaking his head, Shu Hui raised his left hand and looked at the watch that didn't exist at all: "21:12." ”

Turning around to pick up the short quilt that had slipped to the ground, he looked around and saw that only the red fish was sitting on the ground in the room, not knowing what he was thinking. Shu Hui deliberately made a little noise, and she came back to her senses: "Young master, you're awake!" ”

Shu Hui glanced at her helplessly. He seemed to have been woken up by a beating just now, and the red fish was indifferent to such a big movement, and it was strange enough that he was immediately surprised by the slightest movement on his side.

"Hasn't the doctor been hired yet?" He didn't know how long it had been since he slept, but it should have been soon.

The red fish leaned over the window and looked out, but saw that the street to the east was dark: "I haven't seen it yet, and I haven't seen it on the way from the city, I don't know ...... Hey, someone's coming! ”

Shu Hui also leaned in to take a look. Through the gap between the low buildings outside the inner garden wall of the ten-square building, one can see a four-wheeled carriage with two lanterns hanging in the front room intermittently passing through the streets and alleys, hurrying forward. The light is dim, but fortunately the horses have excellent eyesight, otherwise this speed is dangerous.

At this time, it has been decided that there will not be too many reasons to gallop outside, and if you want to cross the river, you will not go in this direction. Thinking about the appearance of this carriage, it was probably for Zhuo Mengling's coma.

The carriage drove into the corner and disappeared, and Shu Hui estimated that someone was about to come upstairs. Sure enough, after a short time, a few hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and with a thought, the latch was pulled out, and the door opened inwards automatically.

However, what appeared in front of him was not the doctor that Shu Hui and Hongyu expected, but Zhuo Menglong and his maid Bai He, who had met in Yunchonglou at night.

When Zhuo Menglong arrived at Shifanglou, he went straight to his sister's room, and when he entered the door, he was stunned when he saw Shu Hui and Hongyu. However, he was not in the mood to be polite now, and he went to check on his sister's situation after meeting the ceremony in a hurry, but unfortunately Zhuo Mengling was unconscious, and he couldn't see what was the reason.

The door finally opened, but when he saw the main family coming, the supervisor and shopkeeper of Shifanglou couldn't get inside. Shu Hui watched Zhuo Menglong kneeling in front of Zhuo Mengling's bed with a worried face, and couldn't help but ask Bai He, who came with him, with some confusion: "Why did you arrive first, doctor?" ”

Bai He shook his head and said he didn't know. They were notified by another fellow. There are a lot of guys in Shifanglou, but there are not many who stay overnight and don't go home at night, and they can ride horses. According to the guy who was now rushing to the Zhuo family's mansion, they divided into two routes, one to inform Da Lang and the owner, and the other to call all the famous doctors in the city for a consultation.

After waiting for a while, Shu Hui saw that Zhuo Menglong wanted to speak several times, thought about it, and showed him Liushun's confession. The family has the right to know the original story, and instead of letting him think nonsense, it is better to give him first-hand information directly.

He pointed to the flask he had picked up again on the table: "Well, it's that jug of wine, it's poisonous." Then he pointed to the Yaoqin full of gems and jade that Bai He had been looking at: "And that qin, which is one of the targets of this gang of thieves." ”

After Zhuo Menglong read Liushun's confession twice, the doctors finally arrived one after another.

The three doctors who came successively were all around 50 years old, each with an apprentice, and they all had a lot of Chinese medicine stone tools in their medicine boxes. If you can make a name for yourself in the governance of a state, you won't be a vulgar and idle person, and most of them will have their own unique skills.

Although they are all for the treatment of some wind, cold and dampness, and the prescriptions prescribed are the same as the increase or decrease of the prescription of the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", one of the three is good at needles and stones, one is used to moxibustion, and the other is famous for using a lot of unrecorded local medicines, which are regarded as three different schools.

However, they were a little blind about Zhuo Mengling's situation. Zhuo Mengling is not cold and evil entering the body, nor is it yin and yang imbalance, but is really poisoned - it is still the "thousand days drunk" or "methanol" as Shu Hui said they have never heard of.

Although they wanted to explain Zhuo Mengling's situation as something gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, they finally chose to be cautious. After many years of practicing medicine, they understand a truth: ancestral prescriptions can indeed cure diseases, but if they deduce the treatment of unknown symptoms according to the theories mentioned in medical books, the results are mostly futile, and maybe the patients will suffer from them.

Over time, each family also thinks that either they are not good at learning and art, or the theory that the ancients said is indeed lacking. Regardless of the truth, in later years, various medical centers specialized in several diseases, and regarded the exclusive dosage or preparation method of certain medicinal herbs in several well-known prescriptions as the foundation of passing on men to women.

So the three doctors discussed after hearing Shu Hui say that this toxin can cause stupidity and blindness, and decided to prescribe some sweating and detoxification drugs for Zhuo Mengling, as well as sobering up and brightening the eyes.

"Four taels of kudzu, three taels of ephedra, two taels of cinnamon branches, two taels of peony, two taels of licorice, three taels of ginger, and twelve jujubes ......"

Shu Hui saw that although the three doctors had sad faces, they had already prescribed the medicine without delay, and she didn't believe that it was effective, but she also understood their difficulties. Classical Chinese medicine's understanding of human body functions is still too primitive, and the worldview of Tibetan images and five luck and six qi is too vague and general.

For other emerging symptoms, perhaps the accumulated experience of thousands of generations of physicians can play a role. But methanol is supposed to be the first time they have appeared in front of them, and its pharmacological effects have never been seen before, and there is no way to bring any experience into the search for a solution.

"Hey, this is cordyceps?" Shu Hui was thinking that the doctor might not be of much use, but suddenly saw the apprentice brought by the third doctor who was good at using home remedies and earth medicine open the medicine box and weigh the medicine, revealing a lattice in the medicine box containing more than a dozen zombie silkworm-like medicinal herbs.

The doctor saw that Shu Hui was dressed luxuriously, and seemed to be asking him a question at this time, so he carefully explained: "It is Ya'er Zagenbu, a medicinal herb used by the Tubo people, and the meaning is indeed as this little Langjun said, it is a worm in winter and grass in summer. ”

Saying that, his heart moved, since he didn't know anything about this "methanol" poisoning, he just tried his best to prescribe some medicinal materials, and it might be the so-called fate to be mentioned by this noble boy.

So he discussed with the other two doctors: "As far as I know, Ya'er Zagchen will not be compatible with the herbs in the kudzu root soup. It is rumored that the Tibetan people will eat it as a dish, which shows that the temperament is relatively warm, so why not add this flavor? ”

The two stroked their heads and expressed their approval. At this time, it is better to do more and make more mistakes, since there is no harm to the patient's body, then it is of course best for someone to take the initiative to take the pot.

Shu Hui was also quite satisfied with this. Cordyceps sinensis has been artificially inoculated and cultivated in later generations, because there is a huge chain of interests, so there is more hype and propaganda and refuting rumors, and he happened to have come into contact with some.

Cordyceps is a complex produced by fungi parasitic on insect larvae. There are more than 500 kinds of Cordyceps in the world, and in addition to Cordyceps sinensis, there are also golden cicada flowers, which are also Chinese medicinal materials.

They were indeed eaten as a dish at one time, and they were all delicious in cold salad, stir-fried and roasted soup. However, pharmacologically speaking, Cordyceps contained in Cordyceps is a natural antibiotic that can effectively prevent and treat microbial infections; Cordyceps acid, also known as mannitol, has a swelling and diuretic effect, and is often used as an antihangover, and it is said that it also has a certain purpose effect.

So when he heard that the doctors were going to add cordyceps, he agreed: "Yes, yes, add more." In addition, pick me the one with the best condition, and bring it to me, I have something to use. As he spoke, he took out a gold leaf, which was the singular number left over from the night reward Yingge and Yuli from them, and he took it back for the sake of fairness.

Taking a cordyceps that was the largest and straightest, and waving his hand to indicate that he didn't need change, Shu Hui asked the red fish to find some sacrifices to make more copies of it: "A piece of wood, a few eggs." ”

Cordyceps doesn't need a year, and in fact, Shu Hui doesn't know if it will rot and wither in the second year. So if you look big and beautiful, you are in good condition.

The three doctors over there were invited by Zhuo Menglong to stay in the guest room, and they didn't refuse after thinking about it. It is already the second watch, and it is inconvenient to go back to the city, and after Zhuo Mengling wakes up, he can also prescribe the right medicine. Anyway, Zhuo Mengling's appearance looks like at least her life is worry-free, there is no need to rush back to the city overnight, and staying can be regarded as giving the owner a little confidence.

When the third doctor went out, he saw that Shu Hui was still playing with the cordyceps, so he kindly reminded: "This tooth is used to stew chicken, which is very nourishing, but if people with incompatible physique eat it, they may have nosebleeds, so Xiao Langjun should be cautious." ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I know." Shu Hui agreed, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart. Maybe some people will have nosebleeds when they take it, but this thing is eaten as a dish, what are you afraid of? It's just that its appearance is indeed a little shabby, and it requires extraordinary psychological quality to be bite.
