Chapter 28: The bell heals the sick

Zuo Lang said: "This ......, the weather has been freezing for the past few days, and he has a cold and fever, it should be ......, well, this, he caught a cold in the wind, it was ......, and he had a stroke from the sun." ”

The sun of sun disease has nothing to do with the sun in the sky, but a kind of meridian of traditional Chinese medicine, simply put, sun disease is what we usually call an external disease, that is, a cold and flu. Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint, classifies various syndromes in the evolution of external diseases, and distinguishes them into six meridians, such as sun, yangming, shaoyang, taiyin, syncope yin, and shaoyin, due to the invasion of external evils such as wind and cold, most of them enter from the sun meridian on the surface of the body, and the righteous qi of the human body resists external evils here, causing symptoms such as strong pain in the head, cold and fever, and Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" refers to this disease as sun disease. There are two types: solar typhoid syndrome and solar stroke syndrome.

"Really?" The old woman was even more suspicious when she heard him babble.

Zuo Shaoyang knew that Daddy Zuo Gui's medical skills were still in the stage of moving from disease to medicine, that is, the initial stage of prescribing the right medicine, and could not systematically analyze the cause of the disease, explain the mechanism of the disease from a theoretical level, and deduce the appropriate treatment methods and prescription compatibility. Looking at what he said just now, he was obviously not sure about this disease, so he hurriedly interjected: "Dad, I also learn to look at the pulse, okay?" ”

Zuo Guizheng was embarrassed and didn't know how to reply to the old woman's words, listening to Zuo Shaoyang's interruption, he just took this opportunity to think about how to explain, and said busily: "Okay, you can also learn to take a look." ”

Zuo Shaoyang took the young man's wrist to check the pulse, learned the pulse floating, and looked at the tongue again. Moss pale, combined with the symptoms of the patient's mouth and eyes, slanted hands and feet, and considering the course of the disease, it is concluded that this is a kind of stroke caused by the weakness of the blood and the wind in the meridians, and the meridians are not smooth. Daddy Zuogui judged that he had a stroke due to sun disease, and this stroke was right, but it was not a stroke of sun disease, but a stroke of meridian stroke. Daddy apparently only noticed his chills and fever, or could not determine the cause of the slanted eyes, so he could only be treated as a stroke. This is obviously not going to work.

Zuo Shaoyang just checked by himself, and found that this patient is only the meridians of the wind evil junior high school, and the mouth and eye sockets are not oblique for a long time. This big Qin Gang soup came from the Song Dynasty, and there was no such prescription in the early Tang Dynasty, Daddy Zuogui naturally didn't know, and he couldn't tell him this recipe, let alone point out the inappropriateness of Daddy's prescription on the spot, and he had to follow his words, and said with a smile: "Auntie, this eldest brother is hit by the cold evil, and the cold evil enters the body and hurts the meridians, so he is slanted, you can rest assured, my father is a famous old man in Shijing County, and Guizhitang is opened by our family. That's why he took me to hang pots everywhere to help the world, and healed the people of their evil diseases. ”

When the old woman heard this, she nodded again and again: "That's it, thank you very much, please ask Lao Langzhong to prescribe medicine for my son." ”

Zuo Shaoyang said to Zuo Gui: "Dad, you can prescribe it." ”

Zuo Gui listened to his son also speak for him, and his heart seemed to have a little bottom, since it was a sun stroke, then open Guizhi soup, this is his specialty dish, and this is how his nickname came from. Although it is a tour of the party, it is still necessary to prescribe a prescription for future investigation, so Zuo Shaoyang took out a pen and paper, and Zuo Gui wrote the recipe for Fu Guizhi soup.

Zuo Shaoyang said to the old woman: "Do you have a casserole for boiling medicine?" I'll help you decoction, this decoction is particular. ”

"Yes, yes! I'll take you to decoction. - How much does it cost? ”

"Doctor Ling's diagnosis is naturally much cheaper than the pharmacy medical hall, and the cost of this medicine is six yuan, and you can pay two more yuan for running errands. Moreover, wait until you are sick and give money! ”

The old woman was surprised and delighted: "Do you give money when you are sick?" ”

"That's it!"

The reason why Zuo Shaoyang dared to say this was because of his confidence in the cure of this disease, and secondly, only by bragging in this way would the patient have confidence, which was even more necessary for Dr. You Fangling. Besides, a few pennies for medicine is not a big number, and it is worth gambling on medical reputation.

The old woman still couldn't believe it, so she asked again: "My son's illness can be cured by taking your medicine?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang patted his chest: "It's not me bragging, my father's medical skills are definitely the best in the entire Hezhou Mansion!" Your disease is guaranteed to be cured! If it can't be cured, I don't want any money for medicine! Anyway, we have to come here these days to patrol the doctor, when your son is well, when you can give money! ”

The old woman smiled: "I can see that you two are honest people, the bell doctor who came yesterday received me twelve wen for a medicine!" It's not curable! You only received eight wen, and you only gave money when you were sick, ouch, you are really a kind person! ”

As he spoke, he came to the kitchen in the backyard, took out the casserole, Zuo Shaoyang took down the medicine box from his back, and said, "Auntie, you have to find a way to find two eels to use for medicine." ”

"Eels? Yes, there is one in the field! I'll catch you right away! Then the old woman hurried away.

Zuo Shaoyang prepared the big Qin gang soup, put it in a casserole, and began to fry it on the stove. As soon as she was done, the old woman returned, clutching two eels in her hand. Zuo Shaoyang asked the old woman to help the sick young man in, lay down on the bed, here he killed the eel with a knife, filled a small half bowl of eel blood, carried it to the bed, and used his fingers to stick the eel blood to the patient's slanted face, and wiped his face red like Guan Gong on the bloody battlefield.

Seeing this, the old woman felt that this little man was novel in medicine, and suddenly more hope rose in her heart, as the saying goes, home remedies cure serious diseases, the more novel prescriptions, the more people feel that the curative effect must be good, this is the usual thinking of ordinary people.

After wiping it well, after a while, the medicine was also cured, and Zuo Shaoyang asked the old woman to give it to the patient at one time. Then he came out of the door to talk to Daddy.

Zuo Gui was chatting with the neighbors who were watching the excitement with great interest, talking about things in the fields, and some neighbors also asked how to treat some minor illnesses and injuries.

Seeing Zuo Shaoyang come out, Zuo Gui also got up and said, "Okay?" Let's go. ”

"Hmm!" Zuo Shaoyang put the medicine box on his back, said hello to the old woman, and continued to walk outside the village with the bell.

As soon as they reached the edge of the village, they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them, and turned around, and saw the old woman and several people stepping on the muddy snow chasing after them, and one of them was lame on one leg and beckoned, "Old Langzhong, wait! ”

Zuo Gui and the two stood up and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Looking for you to see the disease, some of them are also sick, listen to me that you see a doctor cheaply, and you will be cured, and you will only be charged if you are cured. So I'd like to ask you to take a look. ”

Zuo Gui and Zuo Shaoyang glanced at each other, they were both happy, and hurriedly followed them to the village, and first arrived in front of the simple farmhouse of the lame woman's house, the four walls of the farmhouse were empty, and there was no fireworks on the stove in the house, but a large pile of firewood was piled up behind the house. On the bluestone slab in front of the door, four children of a few years old sat there bare-bottomed, staring at them with big round eyes and dragging long snot, and the youngest one kept sucking his fingers and grinning and crying from time to time.

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, this family is too poor, except for the firewood pile behind the house, there is really nothing of little value. If you want to earn money from this, you don't have much hope, maybe you have to pay for the medicine. However, it is the duty of a doctor to cure the sick and save people. There is no choice.

The family didn't even have a low bench, only a few large stone piers at the door, and the two of them could only sit on the stone piers. The neighbors quickly gathered around.

The lame woman's shriveled face kept laughing, and she sat down on the stone pier.
