Chapter 381: Needles and Medicines are unmatched
On this night in Kamigawa, the wind suddenly rose, and the snow flew all over the city.
The icy snow mixed with the howling cold wind fell like goose feathers in the long streets and alleys. A fierce wind howled through it, rolling up a large expanse of snow on the top of the pavilion, echoing in the narrow alleys. The bustling Kamigawa River is brightly lit and becomes romantic in the midst of heavy snow. However, on those gray, unlit street corners, there is always a group of people who have been forgotten by the world lying there. They were still wearing thin cloth shirts, lying in the snow, and their mouths were staccato **.
In the cold world, people adapt to the weather and prepare winter clothes early to protect against the cold. The sons of those rich families were dressed in gorgeous mink furs, and they couldn't feel how cold it was in winter. But although they talk about conformity, many of those poor people are still unable to wear thick clothes and eat hot meals. Not to mention the way of maintenance? The only hope for those hungry and cold people is the miracle doctor who stays in Tanglin Gudu.
The night was so cold that the poor people did not dare to rest anywhere. The prosperity of Kamigawa made them feel ashamed. At this time, the ancient Watani side of Tanglin, under the grandstand erected by the divine doctor, was already full of people. They snuggled up to each other, hiding under the stands, intending to spend this sleepless night in the howling cold wind. With a hint of longing in their eyes, they stared at the large tent of sheepskin set up by the divine doctor in the distance. The lights were bright, and just by looking at the orange light through the curtain, you could feel how warm it was in the tent.
The child, barefoot in the snow and pale from the cold, ran over with good news:
"Everyone, let's go! A bamboo shed has been erected outside the gate of the Linghe Division, and there are many people giving alms of medicinal porridge there!
These children were running in the snow, bringing good news to these poor people. When many people heard that Linghesi was giving porridge, they couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. They shouted loudly, carrying the old and the young, carrying their relatives who had frostbite on their backs, and rushed in the direction of the Linghe Division. Walking in the wind and snow with great anticipation.
The immortal residence of the Linghe Division is not far from the Tanglin Gudu, and many refugees flocked to it, filling the door of the Linghe Division in an instant. Many poor people looked forward to it, but saw that in the courtyard of the Linghe Division, many wooden sheds had been erected, and a large iron pot was supported, the fire was warm, and the porridge was boiling. Many disciples were busy there.
"Don't be in a hurry, line up, young people don't crowd, try to put the elderly and women in front!"
Seeing that so many people were suffering from hunger and cold, and seeing the Linghe Division here to give porridge to the people, they were all crowded forward like a swarm of bees. Lu Yang was not only a little powerless, he pulled Xin'er with him, shuttled through the flow of people, kept shouting, and personally went down to maintain order among the people. But although these people are messy, they still know how to be polite. Knowing that this was the territory of the Xuanzhen Sect's subordinates, he immediately spontaneously lined up in a long line by the bamboo huts that had been set up in every place, waiting for the disciples of the Linghe Division to give porridge.
At the front of the line, an old woman with a wooden stick in her hand staggered forward, she was blind, she couldn't see everything here, the disciple served a bowl of hot porridge for her, she reached out to take it, she couldn't help but be scalded by the hot porridge, an exclamation, her trembling palm couldn't hold the hot porcelain bowl, and spilled all the bowl of medicinal porridge on the ground.
She knocked over a bowl of hot porridge and hurriedly lay on the ground, licking the porridge mixed with snow and dirt on the ground with her mouth. When Xin'er saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel extremely distressed, and hurriedly rushed forward to help the sad old lady who had no tears to shed. asked the disciple of the Linghe Division for another bowl of medicinal porridge, and pulled the wife to the side of the queue. lest she trip over someone behind.
Xin'er blew the hot porridge, and personally fed the blind old lady with a spoon and drank it one by one, the porridge was slightly bitter, but when she drank it in her mouth, she inexplicably felt a kind of warmth that separated the cold between heaven and earth. The cold wind outside the bamboo shed was like a knife, but the old grandmother drank Xin'er's porridge, but she felt the kind of cold that she had been used to all along, and it subsided, and a warm feeling flowed from her hands and feet that had already been frozen.
"Fairy of the Xuanzhen faction, thank you too much...... old lady"
The old woman drank the hot porridge and sat in the bamboo hut for a while, and after a while, her limbs warmed up. It was as if there was a warm current above and below Zhou's body, constantly dispelling the cold. It turned out that in this hot white porridge, Lin Yuanzhi ordered the disciples of Linghesi to give some cold-repelling medicines, among which there were dried ginger, aconite, cinnamon and other hot medicinal materials, which were ground and crushed and combined in the porridge. These hungry and cold people ate the medicinal porridge, and the cold trapped in the body will naturally be dispelled by the warm medicinal properties!
"Lady, I see that you still have chilblains on your face. We have a good doctor here. I'll help you go and have a look!" Waiting for the woman to drink hot porridge, Xin'er smiled sweetly, and the woman seemed to be a little incredulous, and asked tremblingly: "Fairy, do you still have to pay for the consultation in Langzhong, who is sitting here?" The wife is old, and she is alone, and she can't afford to ask Lang Zhong to see a doctor!"
"Don't worry, Mrs., that Lang is very kind, and he will never ask Mrs. for money!" Xin'er helped her and slowly walked towards the gate of Linghe Division. The woman still couldn't believe it, and asked Xin'er three or four times along the way if she was a compassionate Langzhong. Xin'er saw it in her eyes and knew that this woman was old, but she didn't take the trouble to explain it slowly for her.
Entered the door of the Linghe Division, but saw that a huge bamboo shed had been erected in front of the court at this time, Lin Yuanzhi and the doctor in the Linghe Division hung the pot here, and the two boys of Muxiang and Agarwood started to fight on the side, decocting the medicine while taking care of the patients lying on the ground in the bamboo shed. Thanks to the innumerable amount of materials in the Linghe Division, the disciples brought boxes of medicinal herbs and bedding to make the refugees who had taken the decoction lie on the beds and cover them with warm quilts.
"Lin Langzhong, I don't feel cold anymore. Every night, I feel that my ears are ringing incessantly, and I can't sleep well. When I woke up, I felt lightheaded, and it was too cold on the ground to bear this uncomfortable taste. Please show mercy to Lin Lang and save me, old man!"
At the front of the queue, the hunchbacked old man was in tears, although he did not feel cold after drinking the medicinal porridge. But years of illness still entangled him, making him extremely painful. Lin Yuanzhi received him with a warm attitude, looking at his red tongue, little moss, and thin pulses. Combined with the old man's form and appearance, after the four diagnoses were combined, when the old man's condition was analyzed, he turned to the two boys and said:
"Soreness in the waist and knees, tinnitus is not only caused by the lack of kidney essence and the emptiness of the mind. The kidneys store sperm, sperm marrow, and marrow fill the brain. This old man is very old, his body is weak and his kidneys are deficient, and he needs to be treated with a decoction of medicine. Mu Xiang listened, and went to the medicine warehouse to take four coins of raw and cooked ground, three coins of eucommia, three coins of mountain meat, three coins of hyssop, two coins of yam, two coins of danpi, and two coins of boiled licorice. Decoction in water, divided into ten doses for this old man to boil and take away, this kidney deficiency disease, is a chronic disease. It needs to be recuperated slowly. ”
"Uncle, come with me!"
Mu Xiang immediately received Lin Yuanzhi's instructions and led his father-in-law to the medicine store. The old man listened to Lin Yuanzhi's dialectic clearly and accurately, in one sentence. He also gave ten pairs of decoctions. Immediately grateful, almost kneeling to thank this benevolence and kindness. But Lin Yuanzhi didn't have time to comfort the touched old man at this time, and the patients behind him almost formed a long line waiting for him to receive treatment. Lu Yang, Xin'er and others were busy outside, but in this reception shed, he and the two disciples of Mu Xiang and Agarwood were completely busy.
There are those patients who have chronic diseases or have emergencies. Lin Yuanzhi is comfortable coping with it. Some patients have poor mobility in the lower back and legs. Lin Yuanzhi untied the medicine bag, took out the silver needle and moxa stove and roasted it on the fire, and administered acupuncture to the patient. Coupled with Lin Yuanzhi's unique technique of twisting and turning the needle, the patient can already walk on the ground after leaving the needle for less than a quarter of an hour. When it is really a miracle needle, the pain is eliminated!
Lin Yuanzhi practiced medicine in the lower reaches of the world, and never looked at fame and profit. Everywhere he went, he would relieve the pain of the local people. I don't know how many doctors have healed him. Because he always had a set of silver needles in his bag, as well as wild herbs gathered in the mountains. However, when treating diseases, acupuncture and moxibustion are mostly used to combine decoction and medicine, cooperate with each other, and get rid of the disease. So the people gave him a nickname, the needle and medicine are unparalleled, Lin Yuanzhi!
He has been studious since he was a child, and he especially likes to study medical scriptures such as "Shennong's Materia Medica" and "Jinkui Yaolu". Because of his dedication to medical skills, he is fascinated. In order to become a real good doctor, he followed many famous medical ancestors in the Central Plains, and would rather go to the grass hall to serve tea and pour water for those famous doctors. It is precisely because of this tireless diligence that Lin Yuanzhi became a great medical master when he was a teenager.
But he understands that there is no end to learning, and the medical scriptures and treatises currently circulating in Zhongzhou are all hand-me-downs left by the ancients. However, today's doctors only insist on studying those ancient and rigid academic classics. Thus losing the innovation.
Thinking about the ancestors of doctors, they are often able to bring forth the new. As a result, the prosperity of the 'hundred schools of thought' has also reappeared within the doctor. At that time, various theories emerged one after another, such as the 'Yin Nourishing School', the 'Replenishing Earth School', the 'Attacking Evil Sect' and a series of unique characteristic theories of doctors.
If we talk about the present by the past, the present is not as good as the past. But learning from the past is just like what Confucius said: 'My day is three provinces and my body'. Hold the strengths of the ancients and judge the shortcomings of the present. With a clear heart that shines on the origin, it is good at discovering and thinking. Then the lofty talk left by the predecessors can continue to operate in the way of heaven and the rise and fall of heaven and earth. And then it lasts for a long time and is full of vitality.
