Chapter 211: Freak
In the Daomen, the five things of the mountain doctor's life are collectively called the five techniques of metaphysics.
Traditional Chinese medicine refers to the use of prescription medicine, acupuncture, massage, spiritual therapy and other methods to maintain health and treat diseases.
Prescription medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and massage, ordinary people can still understand and have been exposed to them, and spiritual therapy may be relatively unfamiliar.
The so-called spiritual healing, the most common is probably "Zhu Youke", many scattered folk small techniques, can be classified within the scope of Zhu You.
For example, shocking, bones, etc.
From the point of view of modern medicine, it belongs to the psychological suggestion and hypnosis part of psychology.
If you start from the perspective of metaphysics, it is a folk product of the witchcraft of the ancient period and the gradual integration of the Taoist law of later generations.
Those who "wish" are cursed, and those who are "by" are also pathogens.
The concept of "wishing" is very broad, including forbidden methods, spells, blessings, talismans, as well as suggestion therapy, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, music therapy, etc., not just wishing the cause of the illness and curing the disease.
The cause of some diseases is clear, but the blessing does not heal, which means that the blessing method does not work, so it is necessary to use the forbidden method, or the law, or cooperate with the drug treatment.
As for authenticity......
Of course Chen Jingle doesn't believe it, after all, Chinese medicine does not treat the dead, let alone the superstitious and ignorant means of Zhu Youshu. He only believes in the Tao Fa, and the Tao Fa can really cure diseases and disasters. (Manual Dog Head)
The above is a joke.
As an adult, you should have the ability to think independently, distinguish between right and wrong, remember hearsay, and draw conclusions without practice.
The logic of normal ordinary people should be useful and useful for what is useful.
……
Haicheng, Tai Po Village.
Zeng Sanmei is 80 years old this year.
In ordinary families in that era, the status of women was low, and many people did not have official names, most of them were surnames and rankings, such as the third sister, the second sister, and the fifth mother.
After getting married, it is the place of origin and surname, such as Gaopo Li and Pingtang Chen.
Everyone I know calls her Grandma Zeng. There are many people who call it, but no one knows what her real name is.
Old ladies like her can be found everywhere in the countryside.
He is not tall, his face is wrinkled, his hands are calloused, and he wears double flower sleeves, and most of the time he sits under the eaves or in the corner of the wall and chats with people.
But what makes her different from others is that she helps people see doctors.
There is a difference between seeing a doctor and seeing a doctor.
Grandma Zeng is not a retired doctor or professor, and she is not even a barefoot doctor.
As for how she understands medical skills, it can only be said that it is a godsend.
Believe it?
One day, suddenly a person appeared in her mind and told her that she was suitable to be a doctor and hoped that she could treat the poor more.
Since then, she will.
Of course, she never told the public about how this skill was obtained.
This is the old lady's philosophy of life.
There are some things, it's good to know them, there's no need to shout them everywhere, the higher the profile, the faster you die.
She lived to be 80 years old, and she has seen so many people and things.
When she learned this skill, it was the time when the mountain and the temple were destroyed at the most terrible, I don't know how many statues were smashed and burned, and how many temples were demolished and razed.
The once beautiful high-ranking monks have been reduced to street rats.
She was a little girl, and she didn't know how she would die when she was involved, so from beginning to end, she didn't dare to make a noise, just silently went up the mountain to collect medicine, dry it, and put it away for later use.
At first, no one knew that she had this ability, but after seeing the neighbors a few times, there were more people to help, and it gradually spread.
In fact, this situation is not uncommon.
Many inheritors related to metaphysics are like Grandma Zeng, who suddenly "opened up", and then began to help the world.
The most famous is the Izumado in the Northeast.
Grandma Zeng's ability to see a doctor is miraculous in that she doesn't need to take the pulse at all, just by looking at it, she knows what illness the other party has and what medicine to take.
If you insist on any scientific basis, it is to look at a person's complexion to judge where the other party is uncomfortable.
I want to hear and ask, but it has been there since the pre-Qin period.
And Grandma Zeng's method of treating people is usually to grab medicine and wish for you, especially for wishing you, because there are many incurable diseases of patients encountered, and even more evil and evil collisions.
Nowadays, how can regular doctors still use their wishes, they are all examining injections and prescribing medicines, and she inevitably gives people a feeling of chatter.
Therefore, many people secretly call her a goddess.
Including the family, they all have a lot of opinions about this.
For example, her eldest grandson, who stayed in the big city to work after finishing college, every time he came back, he saw someone coming to her to see a doctor, although he didn't say it to his face, but after the people left, he inevitably complained a few words.
It's nothing more than superstition and ignorance.
"If they are sick, they should be allowed to go to the hospital to see things, doctors and professors can't solve them, and expect folk remedies to solve them, isn't it a joke? Grandma, you don't have a medical license, and if someone has a problem taking your medicine, our family will not be able to compensate for the bankruptcy. ”
The old lady always smiled at this: "No, no, no." ”
The eldest grandson was angry and helpless about this.
This person is old, he doesn't listen to what he says, and he can't really scold when he scolds, forget it, let her be, if you really cause problems, you will know that it is wrong.
……
In fact, Grandma Zeng's heart is open.
Nowadays, many people look down on barefoot doctors, but they don't know that in those days, when the poor could not even afford to go to the town health center, it was a great blessing to have a barefoot doctor in the village.
In many villages and even towns, there is not even a barefoot doctor, and they rely on some experience of home remedies passed down by word of mouth. Not to mention a serious illness, any small cold, at that time, could take your life.
With this ability to see a doctor, Grandma Zeng has saved many lives in the past poor years.
It is no exaggeration to say that within a radius of 100 miles, many people in the older generation have heard rumors about her, know her fame and ability, and the most praised thing is her character.
At the beginning, Grandma Zeng didn't expect it to be so popular, and there was an endless stream of people who came to see her.
From the villagers of this village to the nearby ten miles and eight towns, and even the people of other state capitals came to find them.
You must know that it was an era when communication was backward and everything relied on roaring, and many people relied purely on their legs to get there.
Although she told everyone that there was no need to publicize it, after all, the medicinal herbs she could pick were limited, but the news still spread quite far.
In the 80s, there was a middle-aged man, pulling a wooden cart, on which lay his half-paralyzed old lady, walked more than 150 kilometers to find Grandma Zeng.
Grandma Zeng took pity on him for a piece of filial piety, and she didn't have to go back and forth hundreds of kilometers every time, so she taught him some of the pharmacology she knew about treating hemiplegia.
Later, the family would ask someone to send some special gifts from time to time, which lasted for many years.
And Grandma Zeng's habit of treating people has continued until now.
……
There are two main types of people who come to Grandma Zeng for medical treatment, one is poor, and the other is really desperate and works as a live horse doctor.
In fact, most of the time the two coincide.
After all, there is only one disease in this world, and that is the disease of poverty!
Some people say, how much can it cost to see a doctor?
They may not know what the concept of rural poverty is.
Grandma Zeng clearly remembers that before she received the gift from God, there was an uncle in the clan who died of stomach bleeding because he had no money to see a stomach disease.
Obviously, as long as 27 pieces of 5, you can save his life.
At the end of the fifties, the monthly salary of 27 yuan 5, the monthly salary of first-class workers was more than this number, and today, it is less than 3,000 yuan.
But the uncle's family just couldn't take it out.
You can't even borrow it.
This was not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon in the countryside at that time.
Even today, the pension of many rural elderly people is only about 100 yuan a month.
Grandma Zeng, who is 80 years old, is barely better, 240 a month.
Not to mention anything else, the county hospital takes a CT, and it takes three or four hundred, and if you have a cold, you can hang a bottle, and then prescribe some medicine, and one or two hundred are gone.
Although Grandma Zeng is illiterate, she still understands how much money she has.
So those who came to her for medical treatment were all able to help, and never charged money.
If the other party insists on giving, he will donate a little sesame oil money to the master temple in the village, ten yuan or twenty yuan, and it is estimated that the master will be embarrassed to accept it.
Some people laughed at her for being stupid and said that she had wasted so many opportunities to make a fortune in vain.
You must know that whoever opened a clinic in the town only watched a little cold and fever, and they all bought several suites in the city, which is like her, who guards Baoshan without knowing it.
Grandma Zeng doesn't care, she just thinks it's a virtue.
After all, this medical skill was not hers in the first place, it was Dadao Gong who borrowed her hand to save the world.
……
Yes, Dadao Gong.
Although so many years have passed, Grandma Zeng always feels that the person who taught her medical skills must be the Great Dao Gong, that is, the Emperor Baosheng often referred to by outsiders.
Dadao Gong is an old immortal known to everyone in Haicheng, with superb medical skills and countless rescuers.
The rebuilt temple of the master of the village is dedicated to the Great Dao Gong.
Grandma Zeng had to go to Shangxiang every morning and tell Dao Gong about the events of the previous day, such as whether anyone came to see her yesterday, how many people there were, what the problems were, and so on.
Maybe Dadaogong has seen it for a long time, but she has such a habit.
Thanks to her, the incense in the Realm Master Temple has never been broken.
In recent years, Grandma Zeng has rarely seen a doctor.
One is that now the medical conditions are better, colds, fevers and even fractures can be solved by the town health center, and it is very fast. If you have any problems, you are gradually getting used to going to the health center.
The second is that the younger generation is now in charge, and they are not sensitive to these respects and wishes of traditional Chinese medicine. Even if there is no resistance, compared to the convenience and speed of Western medicine, few people will choose the difficult and troublesome Chinese medicine.
Grandma Zeng is also happy to be pure.
Although she is uneducated, she also knows that the fewer sick people in this world, the better, and her sun-dried herbs don't matter even if they are moldy and rotten.
Maybe some people are looking forward to a big epidemic to make a windfall, but that person will definitely not be Grandma Zeng.
If she wanted to make a fortune, she wouldn't be living in a mud house to this day.
……
Many people think that Grandma Zeng is a "god woman", not to mention that she will cut off her children and grandchildren, but at least it will have an impact.
Not really.
Not only did it not stop, but its descendants prospered.
The five children she gave birth to survived smoothly and were all in good health in that era when there was no medical treatment.
Coincidentally, after these five children got married, the children they gave birth to were all one son and one daughter, both children and daughters, smart and clever, good conduct, and envy of others.
Gradually, there were rumors that this was the blessing that Grandma Zeng deserved for most of her life to accumulate virtue and do good.
Regarding such a statement, Grandma Zeng herself is noncommittal.
Although she doesn't know how to tell fortunes, she also knows that doing more good deeds is beneficial and harmless.
As the old saying goes: "One life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulations of yin virtue and five reading." ”
She felt that she was lucky to be able to get the favor of the Great Dao Gong and teach the art of divine healing, so much Yin Virtue should be accumulated, so that she could bless future generations.
As for myself, I didn't think about it that much.
This is the traditional and simple values of the Bactria people.
Among Grandma Zeng's many grandchildren, there is a granddaughter named Li Xinlan.
She is the daughter of the second son.
The little girl is very competitive, she was admitted to Mindu University in the province as an undergraduate, and she was admitted to the Shanghai University for graduate school, and she just graduated last year, and then entered a state-owned pharmaceutical company in Fujian.
Among so many children and grandchildren, Li Xinlan is the one who is most interested in medicine, probably influenced by Grandma Zeng since childhood.
She was genuinely curious about Zhu Yushu, as if she could peek into another world from it.
It's not that I haven't thought about learning some skills from my grandmother, but Grandma Zeng has never let go.
One is that I don't know if the fairness of the avenue is not allowed,
The second is that her personal knowledge is limited and she can't teach it systematically.
The third is to learn this with a high probability of being poor for a lifetime.
After all, Grandma Zeng had a trace of selfishness in it, feeling that it didn't matter if she worked hard, and her descendants would try to live as well as possible, so she didn't think about passing on this pharmacological skill and preparing to bring it into the coffin after a hundred years.
But this time, Li Xinlan encountered an unusual thing, which made her feel that something was wrong, and she subconsciously found her grandmother.
……
Here's the thing.
Li Xinlan has a female college classmate named Zhao Ruyu, who comes from the rural areas of remote provinces, and her family conditions are very poor, even worse than Li Xinlan's family, who is also from the countryside.
Fortunately, she has been working hard, although she did not continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination like her, but graduated directly and joined the work, but the two had a good relationship before and have kept in touch since graduation.
This time, it started with this classmate Zhao Ruyu sending a selfie to Li Xinlan.
A selfie of a pregnant woman in the mirror.
It's Zhao Ruyu herself.
Looking at the degree of abdominal bulge, it feels like it's been more than six months.
At that time, Li Xinlan was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" Are you pregnant? When is the object of the conversation? I haven't heard you mention it! ”
Although the two don't have conversations and chats every day, they still chat a few words every once in a while to share their daily life.
I didn't expect the other party to be so tight-mouthed, as a friend, I didn't even know that she was pregnant!
It's almost production!
Li Xinlan was in disbelief and at the same time, she had mixed feelings, feeling as if she was "green".
The other side didn't speak, but immediately sent another photo, which was still a selfie of Zhao Ruyu himself.
The other party's words also made Li Xinlan confused again.
"This is what I looked like a month ago."
Zhao Ruyu in the photo, white T blue jeans and small white shoes, dressed full of youth, although there is no belly, it can be clearly seen that the lower abdomen is flat, and there is no trace of pregnancy at all.
Li Xinlan was dumbfounded: "What do you mean?" You want to say that your belly is bulging like this in a month?! ”
Zhao Ruyu: "Although I don't know what the situation is, it's true." To be precise, this week has only become like this. ”
"Don't scare me!
”
Li Xinlan wondered if the other party was playing a prank.
Come on, it's not fun, if it's a real prank, she'll be angry.
So she dialed the phone.
Connected soon.
"Hey ......"
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Ruyu's voice revealed exhaustion: "I'm so confused now, I don't know what to do, I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor told me that the fetus is developing normally...... This is the most terrifying. I don't even have a boyfriend, and I'm still a big girl.
I wondered if I was pregnant with a freak, and my belly was really bulging at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. My instinct tells me that if I am born, the consequences will be severe. Xinlan, help me ......"
Oh, my God!
After listening to this, Li Xinlan felt that the whole person was not good, and her heart was furious, and she shuddered.
However, as a grandmother who has been influenced by the witchcraft culture of southern Fujian since she was a child, and there is a "goddess" grandmother at home, she came back to her senses and noticed that something was wrong for the first time.
Obviously, this is beyond the comprehension of normal people.
first calmed Zhao Ruyu's emotions, and then hurriedly called home and told her grandmother about it.
Of all the people she knew, it was estimated that only her grandmother knew what to do.
When Grandma Zeng heard about it, her heart suddenly tightened.
If it is really as my granddaughter said, then I am afraid that the matter will not be so easy to solve.
"If you can, you'd better bring her over and have a look. Some things, not in person, are not easy to judge. ”
It was this sentence that made Li Xinlan determined to help her classmate.
