Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Cruel Hu Man

After some conversation, Sun Simiao finally understood the meaning of cells and proteins, and although his doubts deepened, he kept his promise and did not ask any further. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two chatted all the way, talking about everything, and Wang Mai found that Sun Simiao is not only as simple as being a good doctor, but also has a very deep academic foundation, especially good at Huang Laozhi.

Speaking of which, the reason why he came to Luoyang was that he received an invitation from Buddhism and was treated as a guest of honor. It's just that he is different from those gods who pretend to be gods and ghosts, and he came with the idea of applying the scriptures and meanings of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism to medical skills.

Historically, Chinese medicine evolved from witch doctors, so many of the healing methods that seem ridiculous to later generations are deeply influenced by the Taoist idea of "the unity of heaven and man", which believes that the human body and the way of heaven are closely related. The so-called five elements of yin and yang, ancient Chinese medicine attributed everything to this set of theories, whether it is human organs or medicines, are divided into fixed attributes, which is of course inconceivable in the eyes of modern people.

Even if a modern Chinese medicine graduate returns to ancient times, he will not understand the medical theories of Chinese medicine, because the theoretical basis of modern Chinese medicine is completely different from ancient Chinese medicine.

"Dao Chief, although I don't know medical skills, I heard that Western medical science is very different from ours, I wonder if Dao Chang has heard of it?" Wang Mai asked tentatively.

"I haven't heard of it." Sun Simiao obviously understood that Wang Mai had something to say. Although this young man seemed to be young, after these half-day contacts, all kinds of new and strange truths that he had never seen and heard of came out of this young man's mouth and were also seen by him with his own eyes, which made him have a great interest and good impression of Wang Mai.

"It's just hearsay, I can't do it really, and if there is something inappropriate, please ask Dao Chang Haihan." The two entered the hospital and sat down, and Liu Da took a bag of tea and brewed it for the two of them personally.

"Assistant Teacher Wang is serious," Sun Simiao looked at the tea set in front of him in surprise, "This is the first time I've seen this kind of novel way of drinking Pharaoh. ”

The teacup is made by Wang Wheat according to the single-ear porcelain cup of later generations, the best white porcelain, the luster is crystal clear, and the best painting master is invited to ink and color, just this teacup, it is a rare work of art.

I saw that in the teacup, the emerald green tea leaves stood upside down in the water, with the passage of time, the tea gradually changed color, and the tea leaves slowly fell into the bottom of the cup little by little, which was really a strange scene.

In the past, on the construction site, in order to catch up with the construction period, he often stayed up late, and Wang Wheat was not good at smoking, so a cup of tea was the best refreshment. Nowadays, even if he is wealthy, his family is rich, and he is making money every day, it takes a lot of effort to drink the tea of the future generations.

After many inquiries, I finally learned that the famous Xinyang Maojian in the world in later generations was produced in the south of Yuzhou, and bought a tea garden at a high price. The Dragon Boat Festival three days of rest, Wang Mai did not rest for a day, personally trained a few clever tea masters, sent them to the tea house to fry tea, and now the first batch of spring tea has just arrived a few days ago, it is quite satisfactory. The process in between is like this cup of tea in front of you, which can be described as bittersweet and sweet.

"Dao Chief, please use it," Wang Mai handed the teacup to Sun Simiao, "I don't like the taste of boiling tea, so I thought of such a method." ”

"It's fragrant." Sun Simiao closed his eyes and sniffed the aroma of the tea and commented, and took another sip, "The entrance of the tea is slightly bitter, but after that, it is bitter and sweet, and it really has a different flavor." Reluctantly, he put down the teacup and set his eyes on Wang Mai, waiting for his next step.

"There is a science in the West, called anatomy, which is a study of the structure of the body." Wang Mai said.

"Displaning?" Sun Simiao frowned, he obviously understood the meaning of these two words, "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it cannot be damaged, and the beginning of filial piety is also." Moreover, the "Law of Kaihuang" clearly states that those who dissect the remains and cut off the bones will be reduced to the first class of murder by ordinary people. Obviously, the old Taoist priest had a great prejudice against dissecting the body.

"There is a Roman city in the west," said Wang Mai, who ignored him, and continued to his own heart, "there is a gladiatorial arena in the city, and it is a place of great bloodshed. Every day, slaves would perform great battles with real swords and guns for the nobles and common people to watch, and at the end of the day, the wounded were sometimes in the hundreds. ”

"These Hu people are simply inhumane." The old Taoist priest was furious when he heard the words, and he shot the case.

"It is conceivable that these crippled slaves have some limbs and arms at worst, and disembowelment at worst, which is a common thing." Wang Mai continued expressionlessly.

Liu Da and Rou Niang, who had been listening to the side all the time, also turned pale when they heard this, but the old Taoist priest sat down calmly, he knew that what Wang Mai said was so bloody, it must not be to scare him, but to have a deep meaning.

"And the treatment of the disabled has become a heavy work in the gladiatorial arena." Wang Mai continued, "Over time, the doctors in the gladiatorial arena learned a lot about the structure of the human body, and only then did they develop the basis of Western medical theory. Sun Daochang, in your opinion, which one will be more effective compared to my Central Plains and Western medicine? ”

"This ......" Sun Simiao lowered his head, and the heavens and men were fighting in his heart. He has studied medicine for decades, and obviously thinks that the medicine he has studied for many years is the right way, but it is obvious that the gladiatorial doctors that Wang Mai said are all medical knowledge summarized from reality. And the most important thing is that Wang Mai, an ordinary person who does not understand medical science, actually cured two cases of diseases that even he felt were very troublesome, could it be said that the medical skills handed down by my Han family for many years are really not as good as the Hu people?

"The Taoist doesn't have to worry too much, it's not to compare Chinese and Western medicine with others, it's just that human life is a matter of heaven, no matter what the method, as long as it can save the life and help the wounded, and eliminate the pain for the patient, it will be useful, what does the Taoist think?" Wang Mai put down the teacup and said.

"Having said that, but ......" Sun Simiao sighed.

"I respect the Taoist chief very much, but dissecting the corpse is not disrespectful to the deceased, on the contrary, it is a kind of accumulation of virtue. The dead are gone, but the living still exist, and the study of anatomy does not have to be a dissecting person, three animals and six animals, everything. Wang Mai said. China has always emphasized that the dead are respected and the dead are great, so it is even more difficult to change the concept of a person.

But Sun Simiao in front of him is different, although he has just been in contact for a long time, Wang Mai feels that the rumors are not false at all, the character of the old Taoist priest can really be called noble, and he has compassion and compassion in his heart, and his reputation is high, even if he turns up and down for a thousand years, I am afraid that he will not be able to find a second person who is more suitable for innovating medical science than him.

"How can a man be compared to an animal?" Sun Simiao said unhappily.

"Of course, people are different from livestock, but Western medicine believes that their internal operating principles are similar, so there are many references." Wang Mai said, "Moreover, don't forget that there is also a business that can legally dispose of corpses. ”

"Serving?" Sun Simiao replied.

"Yes, it's a precious."

"Assistant Teacher Wang, please take it personally, and let Lao Dao think about the stakes." Sun Simiao sat cross-legged on the seat, closed his eyes and began to settle down.

Unconsciously, it was already dark, the conversation just now was too engrossed, and I don't know when the lights were lit, Wang Mai got up lightly and stretched his waist, this mat has no place to lean on, and the old Taoist priest sat opposite him for a long time, tired to death, or the sofa at home is comfortable.

After hesitating for a long time, he still walked to Rou Niang: "I have something to say to the lady, and I bother the lady to come out with me." ”

Rou Niang lowered her head and nodded slightly, and followed behind Wang Mai silently with small steps.

"You ......" As soon as he walked out of the house, as soon as he turned around, Wang Mai felt a burst of fragrant wind in his arms, and hurriedly supported him, "Why don't you walk with long eyes?" Is there gold to be picked up on the ground? ”

"Slave ......" Rou Niang's face turned red with shame, and she hurriedly stepped back and stood still, jumping up and down like a deer in her heart.

"I'm kidding you." Wang Mai shook his head, how can this woman be a more serious character.

"Thanks to the help of the officials today, there is only one relative left in the slave family in this world, if it is ......" Speaking of this, he choked up, "How can I have the face to see my dead husband in the future?" ”

"Why do you talk so well that you cry," Wang Mai panicked and didn't know what to do, "Let others see it, and think I'm a big man bullying you." ”

Hearing this, Rou Niang hurriedly wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves: "The great kindness of the official, Rou Niang has nothing to repay, only to be a cow and a horse in the next life......"

"Okay, okay, okay," Wang Mai wondered why these ancient people would carry their accounts to the next life at every turn, "I didn't want to repay Sun Yu for you, nor did I pity your orphans and widows." I like this kid, that's why I help, even if the child's mother isn't you, I'm still going to do it, you know? ”

"Officials and bodhisattvas have hearts, and they will be good people in the future......"

"I'm a man who lives in the moment...... Wang Mai sighed, "that's too profound." Anyway, you just pretend it didn't happen, and you don't have to be grateful to me or anything. ”

"How can you ...... then," Rou Niang shook her head desperately.

"Anyway......" Wang Mai said helplessly, "forget it, don't talk about it." I called you out to let you go home and rest, tonight I want to talk with Sun Daochang at night, discuss the medical Tao, and take care of Sun Yu by the way, you don't have to worry. ”

"Don't ......," Rou Niang refused, "I have already bothered a lot of officials today, and besides, officials are daughters, how can they work hard for children anymore." ”

"Why not," Wang Mai waved his hand, "I said, I like this child." Besides, if you go back and look at the bronze mirror, see what your face is haggard into, if you don't have a good rest, how can you have the energy to take care of the child during the day tomorrow? Now listen to me and go back for a while. ”

"But ......," Rou Niang bit her lower lip.

"That's it." Wang Mai stopped arguing with her, turned around and entered the medical hall.

"Official......" Rou Niang looked at Wang Mai's back. Since her husband died of illness, she is a woman who supports the family independently, and no one has thought about her like this for a long time, and a warm current swells in her heart.
