said that Zhang Xuanqing asked Sun Simiao to name the copper ring, and he just talked casually at first. Hearing Sun Simiao name the copper ring "Tiger Support", he couldn't help but be shocked and suddenly remembered a legend.

In ancient times, the foot doctor would generally bring a copper-ringed bell and shake it as he walked, so as to remind the people of the villages and towns he went to that if a doctor came, he could come to see a doctor.

This is an extremely labor-saving method, after all, if you shout at the top of your throat, it won't be long before your throat will smoke. Besides, the doctor is also a person with status, and shouting like a pawn of a peddler is too bad.

Moreover, this brass ring is also a sign of the status of a foot doctor: if it is just placed on the chest and shaken, it means that it is an ordinary langzhong, if it is shaken at shoulder level, it means that the medical skill is high, and if it is raised above the head to shake, it means that the medical skill is very high.

Every line has its own rules, and few people will break them, so people generally only need to see how much the doctor's tiger support is used, and they can know how much medical skill the doctor has and what price he collects. And it is said that the reason why the doctors want to take the tiger support is from Sun Simiao!

Legend has it that Sun Simiao once went into the mountains to collect medicine, and was suddenly stopped by a tiger on the way, and strangely enough, the tiger did not pounce on him, on the contrary, it squatted on the ground with its mouth wide open, looking at him with a sad look, as if begging for something, and kept gently swinging its head. Sun Simiao was shocked, and slowly approached the tiger and found that the tiger had a huge animal bone stuck in its throat. He wanted to help the tiger remove the bone, but he was worried that if the animal in front of him suddenly shut up because of the pain, his arm would be bitten off. It just so happened that he was carrying a pole with a copper ring on it. So he took off the brass ring from the pole and put it into the tiger's mouth, and stretched it open. That way, he doesn't have to worry about his safety anymore. Then Sun Simiao passed his hand through the center of the copper ring, reached into the bloody mouth, quickly pulled out the bone, and quickly applied ointment to the wound. When Sun Simiao took the copper ring from the tiger's mouth, the tiger couldn't stop nodding, as if to thank the benevolent doctor. Since then, the brass ring has been transformed into a hand rattle, which has become a symbol of medicine practice.

Although there are many differences between the above legend and today's events, they are very similar. Zhang Xuanqing still listened to the legend as a story at first, but now he can't help but wonder, are there some legends that are all facts, but they have been distorted later?

As soon as this idea arises, it will be difficult to suppress it, and such a thing as a tiger can become a "strange treasure", but what about the others? What else has been lost in the long river of history and that future generations have no chance to hear?

"Brother Dao, wake up, wake up!" Suddenly, Sun Simiao's voice sounded in his ears, waking Zhang Xuanqing up.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Liu Shenwei and Li Yuanba had stood up and were all looking at themselves. Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help coughing dryly: "What's the matter, Brother Dao, what's the matter?"

Sun Simiao's face was slightly surprised, and then said: "That's the case, this little brother Li's mother is suffering from a stubborn illness and asked me to go for a consultation. But when Zhang Xuanqing was distracted, Li Yuanba directly kowtowed to Sun Simiao and asked him to save his mother. Sun Simiao is kind-hearted, and besides, he went out this time to practice medicine, so he naturally would not refuse.

Knowing the reason, Zhang Xuanqing also knew that Sun Simiao woke him up and wanted to leave together. immediately agreed, and followed behind Sun Simiao.

Although Li Yuanba's home is not far away, just outside the mountain, it is not close. It wasn't until sunset that the group of four arrived at Jinpeng Village.

"The three Taoist chiefs are here, please, my house is in front. As soon as he entered the village, Li Yuanba pointed in the direction of the two houses at the entrance of the village and led Sun Simiao and the three of them in.

Inside, with a low ceiling and shabby walls, there was not even a table in the center, so a wooden plank was built at random, as well as a stool that was obviously made by himself.

Li Yuanba rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said: "The rafters are extremely ugly, and I hope the three Taoist leaders will not dislike it." ”

"Where, where. Sun Simiao stopped the politeness he was still about to be, and swept left and right: "I don't know where Lingtang is now?"

The main house is very empty, and on the left is a cubicle, and at a glance you can see that there is nothing else in it, except for a large wooden bed. However, there was a curtain hanging on the door of the room on the right, so I didn't have to think about it, and I knew that Li Yuanba's mother should be there. It's just that I know that even though I know, I have to be led by Li Yuanba to get in, after all, this is Li Yuanba's house.

"This ......" Li Yuanba showed a hesitant face at this time, and said hesitantly: "Three Taoist leaders...... My mother's health is ...... There is some peculiar smell and trapped in the room for a long time. When you go in...... Be prepared. ”

It's okay if the patient's body has a peculiar smell, after all, the five qi are out of balance, even if the washing is diligent, some strange smells are normal. However, Li Yuanba even specially reminded him at this time, it seems that the smell of his mother should be not small.

Sun Simiao stroked his beard indifferently and said: "Little brother, don't worry, you have been practicing medicine for decades, and you have seen all kinds of diseases." The little brother leads the way. ”

"Yes, yes, Daoist, please come with me. Li Yuanba hurriedly agreed, stretched out his hand, and sure enough, it was the room with the door curtain.

The three of them followed Li Yuanba and entered the room, and found that there was not much smell. At first glance, this room is also very simple, but it is much better than the other one. At least there was a quilt on the bed, covered with an old woman, whose face could not be seen clearly.

"Mother, mother, I asked a doctor to treat you. Li Yuanba called softly when he entered the door, but the old woman on the bed seemed to be asleep and did not answer.

Seeing this, Li Yuanba turned his head and showed bitterness: "The three Taoist elders are not strange, since my mother was sick, she has been sleeping every day, and it is getting longer and longer every day, so she ......"

"It's okay, the sick are great. But is it convenient to diagnose and treat it like this, why not wait for the old lady to wake up and come back?" Sun Simiao proposed.

Li Yuanba's face was sneering: "What the Taoist chief said is that I didn't think it through. It's just that my mother has been sick for a long time, and I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it...... Can the Taoist take my mother's pulse first?"

There is nothing difficult about this, looking at and hearing and asking about the cut are the four basic skills of Chinese medicine, and putting the cut at the end shows that cutting the pulse is the most important thing. Since Li Yuanba's mother has not woken up yet, she can also understand the situation first. Sun Simiao nodded and agreed.

Walking further, as soon as I arrived at the bedside of Li Yuanba's mother, it was only three feet away, and suddenly a foul smell hit my nose.

"Cough cough cough ......" Liu Shenwei was unprepared, choking so much that tears flowed out, and Zhang Xuanqing and Sun Simiao were also uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Yuanba's mother's bed was clean, and his face was extremely clean, Zhang Xuanqing would have thought that Li Yuanba couldn't find anyone to bathe his mother!
