Chapter 25 Stalls

Early the next morning, Silly Zhu was woken up by the old Taoist priest, and the master and apprentice were going to the north of Sijiu City today, where there was a meeting today, a big one. It's about an hour's bike ride from the courtyard, so you need to get up early to get there, and there are no stalls in the evening. In this era, no one charges stall fees unless you are in the market, and no one will take care of this kind of folk spontaneity

Waiting for Silly Zhu to cook for his sister, he told her to heat up the leftovers at noon, and there were biscuits and snacks at home, so she would eat some snacks and biscuits if she didn't have enough food at noon.

By the time the master and apprentice arrived at the place, it was already past 8 o'clock in the morning, and the old Taoist priest found an intersection, which had a large flow of people. Let the stupid pillar come out with himself is mainly a long insight, people come and go in the bazaar, many of them rely on this to support their families, and there are many people in it, and there are also people from all over the world, and you can learn a lot of things that you can't learn in the factory.

Sitting behind the stall, looking at the pedestrians walking on the road, the old Taoist priest originally planned to let the stupid pillar come out with him to show people, but after thinking about it, there are not many people looking at the appearance now, especially in cities like Sijiu City, and the old Taoist priest also saw that there was also a little bit of suppression of people like them now, and the old Taoist priest gave up this idea for the sake of the apprentice's future consideration

He himself has not lived long, and he has nothing to do, but the apprentice is not good, the stupid pillar is only 19 years old this year, and there is still a good life waiting to be enjoyed, there is no need to let people grasp the handle because of this

Soon the first patient came to the door, this is a 50-year-old lady. The old Taoist priest asked the visitor to sit opposite before asking:

"Where are you uncomfortable?"

The eldest lady glanced at the stupid pillar sitting next to her before replying

"Recently, my body feels very tired, especially when I get up in the morning, it feels like I have been hungry for several days, and I have no strength, you can help me see what is wrong with me"

When the old man heard this, he directly asked the patient to stretch out his hand to take the pulse himself, and he also had a general situation in his heart with both hands, but now he is taking the apprentice to practice, and he needs to get started, and he is watching the stupid pillar from the side

"Zhuzi, come and see if you can see what the problem is, this is my apprentice, let him show you, young people need to practice more, don't worry, I will greet you next to me, there will be no problem"

When the eldest lady heard that the old doctor who looked more than 80 years old asked the kid next to her to see her, her face was a little reluctant, but she didn't say anything when she heard the words behind her, and nodded in agreement

Silly Zhu emboldened himself to sit down at the table and hold the patient's hand for about a minute

"Master, auntie, I don't know if I'm right, I'll tell you first, if you don't treat you more, listen to what this lady just said and what I took the pulse of myself, this lady is qi deficiency, lack of qi and blood, should be caused by overwork, master, do you see what I said right?"

The old Taoist priest nodded after listening to the words of the stupid pillar, his apprentice saw the same difference, and this patient's situation was probably like this

"It's okay, her situation is kidney yang deficiency, which is what we often call physical deficiency, you should be too humid at home, or the place you stay in during this time is too humid and you like to eat raw and cold things. The main thing is that there is a little pillar you didn't mention, the patient just said that the body feels very tired, this situation is a lack of qi and blood, and you need to supplement nutrition, okay, it's not a big problem, you don't need to prescribe medicine, go back to bask in the sun or go cupping, just eat something good for a while"

After the people left, the old Taoist priest said to the stupid pillar: "We treat people, one is to see, the second is to ask, and the third is to listen to the last pulse." You have only been studying medicine for a short time, and you can only cut your condolences, and the patient's walking steps just now are frivolous, which is a manifestation of insufficient kidney qi. The head is greasy, the face is dull and a little yellow, and the bags under the eyes are obviously swollen, which is a sign of excessive moisture, and what she herself said is the symptom I just talked about."

Then there were several patients in a row, the old Taoist priest let the stupid pillar get started, and then he supplemented the stupid pillar said the shortcomings, but fortunately, these patients are not a big problem, the most serious is a sexual intercourse, listen to the young man's face is red, just married where can I bear it, the old Taoist prescription is also written by the stupid pillar, this is also a reason for the stupid pillar to practice calligraphy, you prescribe medicine to others to write a hand of dog crawling words how to make people see, Fortunately, although the words written by Silly Zhu now can't be said to be beautiful, they can still look at the board

At this time, an elderly man sat on the opposite side, looking like he should be in his 70s, accompanied by a 40-year-old middle-aged man, and after the old man sat down, the man spoke:

"Doctor, my mother can't eat during this time, saying that she can't swallow, and she often coughs, and the phlegm she coughs up is obviously a lot more than before, and it has become more serious in the last two days, and she will choke on drinking water."

"In addition to not being able to swallow the cough during this time, does your mother have a sore throat?" said and looked at the two of them

The mother and son looked at each other, and then the old man said, "No, I haven't been in pain, but I will choke when I eat."

"Has your mother lost weight recently?"

"I've lost weight, I've lost more than a dozen pounds," the man sighed.

After listening to the answers of the two, the old Taoist priest already had a rough guess in his heart, but he still took the patient's pulse first, in this case, many families will think that it is inflammation caused by fire, and the symptoms mentioned by the patient are likely to be choking, which is the name of traditional Chinese medicine, the old Taoist priest is not very clear about the specific name of Western medicine, but he also knows that in Western medicine, this is called cancer. In this era, Western medicine was not so popular, although Lao Dao had been in contact with Western medicine in the Republic of China, but he has always scoffed at Western medicine, and always felt that this Chinese and foreign medicine was a bit insulting to the Chinese medicine left by his ancestors, but he also had to admit that Western medicine did have his own uniqueness

The old Taoist priest also found that the patient's pulse was indeed choking, and the patient's pulse fingers pressed it with a special feeling of "abnormal peaks". Seeing this, the old Taoist priest also sighed in his heart, the patient was too old to be suitable for radical treatment, and this disease could not be cured, so she could only delay the time of her survival, and nodded to the patient's son at the moment

"I also have some numbers in my heart about your mother's illness, you come over and let's talk about how to treat it. Pillar, you come and check the old man's lower pulse to see what you can see, and then tell me what pulse you can see," he nodded to the old lady's son

The old lady's son was a little curious when he saw the doctor get up and call him to go, and he couldn't say anything in front of my mother, but he still walked over

"Your mother's disease, listening to what you said and my pulse seems to be choking, I don't know what this disease is called in Western medicine, but I only know the approximate name ~ cancer, and your mother's symptoms have obviously been off for a long time, that is, the advanced stage in Western medicine, plus your mother is also old, and it is not suitable for too stimulating treatments, I take the pulse It seems that your mother should be in these two months, so let the old man eat what he wants, To be a doctor is to face these births, old age, sickness and death, and I have seen a lot of things like the old Taoist priest living for a long time

The old lady's son heard what the doctor said, and his eyes were suddenly full of tears: "Doctor, is my mother really hopeless?" Is there any way to save my mother?"

"Your mother is too old, I just said that I have a way to prolong the life of this kind of patient, but this kind of old person can't bear it, it's better to go happily than let the old man suffer."

When the two returned to the stall, the man's eyes were red, and he left with his mother after paying the consultation fee, and the two might also go to the hospital for examination, but it was not a matter in the eyes of the old Taoist. The old Taoist priest's medical skills are very clever, he has studied medicine since he was a child and has now been a hundred years, except for those terminal diseases in his life, there are few diseases that he can't cure radically, in the old Taoist priest's opinion, the group of bullshit doctors in the hospital don't even accompany him to lift shoes, and he needs to help through the machine to see a doctor.

"Master, what is the old lady's illness, why is he in a bad mood when he looks at his son" Silly Zhu asked curiously

"Choking, and I don't have long to live"

"Ahh Silly Zhu was very surprised when he heard this, this disease was discussed with Director Tao, it is called esophageal cancer in Western medicine, it is a kind of terminal disease, or it is more painful in terminal disease. The patient had no way to eat, but to eat a liquid diet and then slowly died of this hunger. Silly Zhu encountered this disease for the first time, he knew that people were dying every day, but this kind of watching the patient in front of his eyes could not be cured, he could only watch the patient die in pain

"Master, how did you tell that he didn't live long?"

"I can't see my medical skills, can't I see the physiognomy, the patient's physiognomy just now is obviously about to die soon, and you don't know how to combine what you learned, the five Taoist techniques are complementary to each other, and you may need to use true qi to apply needles to see a doctor, you kid study hard, there are too many things you need to learn"

Silly Zhu didn't expect the master to see it through his face, and he thought that he could really see how long a person could live

"But you can really see how long a patient has left, but the old Taoist priest I am not good at medicine, and these people can be in ancient times, which is also the reason for the gradual decline of traditional Chinese medicine", seeing the expression on the face of the stupid pillar, how could the old Taoist priest who was alive and well not understand what he was thinking, and then opened his mouth to explain to the stupid pillar

"What did you see in the pulse just now?"

The stupid pillar who was still thinking heard the master's words and hurriedly raised his head: "Master, just now I felt very messy when I checked the pulse, just like the kind of pulse that is said in the medical technique, there is a feeling of weakness, there is a feeling of uniformity and weakness, and there are 3 kinds of medicine in the medical technique, but I didn't see it."

"It's okay, his pulse just now is indeed what you said, as for the three types you said, it is weak and weak, the patient's pulse just now is manifested in the dirty qi will be extinct, blood loss, and yang qi floating, this situation is the later performance, his pulse is like a wave, and like a ball, your fingers press up and have a feeling of different peaks."

"Yes, that's the same with me taking his pulse", Silly Zhu nodded after listening to the master's words

"This symptom is called cancer in Western medicine, it is a disease that cannot be cured, if it can be cured in the early stage, it can only be delayed by medicine or acupuncture in the later stage, so that the patient can survive longer. But there are miracles in this disease, in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, I met a patient in Sichuan who actually had this disease and lived for 7 years, but I can't see how he did it."

Soon the time came in the afternoon, and in the morning the master and the two of them saw a total of 13 patients, most of them were some minor diseases, just the old lady and the young man who had excessive sex spent some time, and the others were some small colds and poor sleep.

This is a sudden sight of a group of people running over in a hurry not far away, "Doctor, hurry." He accidentally broke his arm when he was unloading just now, help him take a look"

"Doctor, please save me, I can't lose my arms, I still have to work to support my family"

"Don't worry, I took a look at him, this is a dislocation, there is no problem, you can help him on the street, just do what you practiced at home before" The old Taoist priest looked at the patient's broken arm and comforted the others

Silly Zhu was also a little nervous when he heard this, although he had practiced many times at home before, but this was the realization, and it was the first time for him, but he still gave himself the courage to stride forward

Silly Zhu raised the arm of the man in front of him, who looked like he was no more than 30 years old, and then softly comforted him, and then suddenly said, "Hey, who are you looking for, this girl?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the words of the stupid pillar, and even the patient turned his head, but he didn't see a girl coming, the stupid pillar held the patient's shoulder with one hand and dragged the arm with the other, and directly pushed the patient's arm upward, only to hear a sound, everyone reacted, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

The patient slowly turned his arm and found that he was already well, and immediately hurriedly said, "Okay, hey, you see me."

After accepting everyone's thanks and money, Silly Zhu was also very happy in his heart, and seeing the patient recover his health also made him more confident in himself

Soon it was evening, and there were many people after work than during the day, but the master and apprentice still closed the stall, after all, seeing a doctor and selling other things are different, it is not easy to do when it is dark, so I simply closed the stall and went home

On the way back, I bought a cinnamon fish, and bought some tomatoes and other vegetables. I'm very happy today, go back to my sister to add a meal to make a squirrel osmanthus fish, the rain favorite is this dish, the shape is peculiar and sweet and sour is also in line with the child's taste

It's 7 o'clock when I got home, and I didn't bother when I saw my sister playing with other people in the yard, but just said that I would go home for dinner

Squirrel Guiyu is a Fujian dish, but it is also a home-cooked dish, it is not difficult to cook, and it is ready quickly. He Yushui was very happy to see his favorite squirrel fish on the table, and now he can play with his friends every day during the summer vacation, and he can eat delicious food at night.

It was more than 8 o'clock after dinner, and I sat at the table at dinner and listened to my sister talk about what happened in the yard today, saying that everyone disliked the three mothers for not buying meat, so that everyone could eat Wowotou, but in the end they were pressed down by the three masters. This group of people are a group of half-grown boys, and they eat a lot, and today is not a day off, except for some people who don't go to work, everyone else needs to go to work
