System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality

As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer people gathered here. Most of them came because they heard that they could take advantage of free offers. After excluding those who were joining in the fun and those who were not seriously injured, there were only three or four people left vying for a spot. Shen Xia had no intention of watching their argument, and their conversation was mixed with a lot of dialect, which Shen Xia couldn't understand, but Zhang Yan'an on the side was very interested.

Although there were still many people watching the excitement, there were only four people arguing. In addition to Zhang Mazi, who initially complained that his hands were numb, there was also a woman, a child and an old woman. The child and the old woman are on the same side, and the woman is on the same side. Everyone said that they had very serious problems that required medical treatment. The three parties couldn't argue and someone already called the village chief.

Not long after, the village chief also came. He was an old man with a white beard and the look of a scholar. After understanding the situation, he turned to Zhang Yanan and said, "Doctor, these three are all under special circumstances. Can you please be accommodating and increase the number of consultations by two people?" Zhang Yanan found it funny, because he and Shen Xia were obviously the ones who were the best. The people who were held here and forced to see the doctor were treated as if they were the villains.

Zhang Yanan didn't even get up, he was still sitting lazily on the bench: "Village Chief, you see we are all too hungry to stand up now. How about this? You let me go to your house for a meal at noon. Rest for an hour, and when I have eaten and drank enough, I will agree with you and add two more places."

The village chief didn't want to engage in this loss-making business. He looked stunned and played the bitter card to Zhang Yan'an: "Doctor, it's not that I don't want to, my family doesn't have much food left. You see, these people are all suffering. , Not to mention anything else, Ergou’s house..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Zhang Yan'an exited to stop the village chief from continuing his misfortune, "Village chief, you don't need to say anything more to me here. I have already made it clear before that we are in a bad state now, and today it is me If the medicine boy visits you, it doesn’t matter to us if you’re not afraid. Anyway, it’s just one more opportunity to practice, don’t you think so, Shen Xia.”

Shen Xia nodded quickly and agreed innocently: "Yes, although I have only been in the medical clinic for a week or two, I have seen Dr. Zhang treat others before, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Everyone happens to be there. , I’ll take the opportunity to improve it.”

Zhang Mazi and the woman both looked unhappy. The woman said, "How can this be done? You are a little baby. What if something happens to the doctor?"

"What should I do?" Shen Xia looked at the woman with a smile, "Of course there is nothing we can do. It was you who begged us to see a doctor. And I have made it clear that it is useless even if I go to the official. I Well, at most you will lose a little money, and as for you, you may have lost your life to me, but you are also making a contribution to medicine, so you should feel honored."

Shen Xia doesn't speak as politely as Zhang Yan'an. This group of people won't know how to advance or retreat without scaring them. The village chief didn't expect this girl to speak so powerfully, and seeing Zhang Yanan's tone, there seemed to be no room for negotiation, so he could only turn around and discuss with those people.

Zhang Yanan used his eyes to signal Shen Xia to sit down and calm down. Shen Xia spoke so irritably, and he was worried that Shen Xia would be hurt if this group of people got angry. Shen Xia stuck out her tongue at Zhang Yanan. Her way of handling this kind of one-sided dispute was to cut the knot with a sharp knife, and it was not impossible to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Perhaps Shen Xia's words really scared them, and soon the group of people chose who came to see the doctor - the child and the old woman. This result was within Shen Xia's expectation. The reactions of the other two people just now showed that they were worried about Shen Xia. Only the child's face was as determined as ever.

The others did not disperse, but continued to gather around and watch the fun. The child took a big step forward, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Zhang Yanan and Shen Xia without saying anything. Shen Xia didn't like this kind of etiquette, so she quickly turned sideways and avoided it.

"Doctor, please save my grandmother." The child kneeled on the ground and choked with sobs.

Zhang Yanan did not move and signaled Shen Xia to come on. Since Shen Xia had decided to see the doctor, he would not interfere unless necessary from beginning to end. However... Zhang Yanan looked at the old woman behind the child. This situation was very important to him. It's a bit complicated for Shen Xia.

Shen Xia could only step forward and help the child up from the side: "Get up and speak first, and explain your grandmother's situation clearly."

The child stood up and said with a choked voice: "Doctor, my grandmother just had some fever at first, sore throat, dry mouth and thirst. After a few days, she said that her joints hurt, her whole body ached, and her ankles, wrists, hands... It also swelled up. A few days ago, I heard someone said that my grandmother had rheumatism, so I found a folk remedy for her to take. Unexpectedly...I didn't expect that my grandmother's condition became more serious. Her joints are now even more swollen. And I already have problems walking... Doctor! I beg you, please save my grandmother! I can be a cow or a horse for you!"

With that said, the child was about to kowtow to Zhang Yanan and Shen Xia again. Seeing this, Shen Xia hurriedly stretched out her hand to support him and stopped him from kneeling: "Okay, just talk nicely and don't kneel down all the time."

The child's message was very clear, and Shen Xia understood it, but she was a little embarrassed. She had seen Dr. Zhang treat a patient with similar symptoms, and that patient suffered from wind-cold-dampness paralysis (wind-cold-dampness paralysis is a type of rheumatism). But the child just said that after taking a folk remedy, his condition worsened. Either there was something wrong with the folk remedy, or he was not suffering from wind-cold-dampness.

To be on the safe side, Shen Xia asked, "Do you still remember the contents of that folk prescription?"

"Remember, there are saposhnps, licorice, angelica, red poria, almonds, osmanthus, skullcap, root, kudzu, and... and ephedra!"

Parsnip Soup. Shen Xia remembered that she had read in Volume 2 of "Xuan Ming Lun Prescription" that Fangfeng Decoction was not a folk prescription, but a prescription used by the Eight Classics of Children to treat wind-cold-dampness. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the prescription. Then, the child’s grandmother does not suffer from wind-cold-dampness syndrome.

"Can I see the specific situation of your grandmother?" Shen Xia asked.

"Of course you can, girl, please take a look."

The child brought Shen Xia to the old woman, and Shen Xia took a closer look. She may not be able to stand for a long time. The old woman is sitting on a stone. From the exposed skin, you can see that her wrists and ankles are swollen like dough buns and are red, and her finger joints feel obviously stiff. Shen Xia also noticed that red spots of varying sizes appeared on the old woman's skin.

"Grandma, can I take a look at your tongue coating?" Shen Xia leaned over and asked.

The old woman couldn't hear what Shen Xia said clearly, so the child had to translate it in dialect beside her, and then the old woman slowly stuck out her tongue. The tongue is red and the coating is yellow and dry.

"Grandma, can you stretch out your hand and let me see it?" Shen Xia continued to ask.

The child translated again, but Shen Xia obviously felt that the old woman was a little reluctant. The child muttered a lot next to her, and the old woman stretched out her hand. Shen Xia wanted to reach out and touch her, but as soon as she touched her wrist, the old woman retracted her hand and said a few words to Shen Xia with tears in her eyes. Shen Xia didn't understand, so she turned her head and looked at the child, only to realize that the child I was also a little choked up.

"Girl, grandma said...she didn't mean not to show it to you. She is in pain. Even the slightest touch is unbearable pain. Please forgive me."

Shen Xia nodded. The local pain was obviously intangible. In addition, Shen Xia clearly felt the warmth of the old woman's skin just now, as well as the child's description and her own observations. She already had a rough idea, but she couldn't take a pulse yet. , otherwise, for the sake of safety, the pulse must be taken to confirm.

"I already have a rough idea in my mind. Wait a minute and I'll confirm it with the doctor before telling you."

Shen Xia said no more and turned around to Zhang Yan'an: "Doctor Zhang, Shen Xia is stupid. I saw you had treated similar patients before, and I subconsciously thought they were also due to wind-cold-dampness. But I just heard that prescription and it was... Fangfeng Decoction, the condition did not get any relief after drinking Fangfeng Decoction, and I carefully looked at the old man’s tongue coating, which was red, with yellow and dry coating, so I determined that it was not wind-cold-dampness syndrome.”

Zhang Yanan nodded and motioned for Shen Xia to continue.

"The old man's limb joints are red and swollen, with burning and severe pain, a red tongue, yellow and greasy coating, and red spots on his body... I have only seen this symptom in books occasionally, and I can't take a pulse, so I can't take a pulse." Just a guess, Doctor Zhang, does this old man have... heat paralysis?"

Shen Xia is really smart. Zhang Yanan thought that she might be born to study medicine. She could make guesses based on medical books and basic symptoms without having to study with a teacher. After returning to the city this time, she might be ready to study as a doctor. It's over.

"It's heat paralysis," Zhang Yanan looked at Shen Xia with a smile, "Chen Xia, do you know how to treat it?"

"Chen Xia doesn't know, so I'm specifically asking Dr. Zhang for advice." Shen Xia lowered his head and acted modestly.

"Chen Xia, since ancient times, only masters have led apprentices, and there have been no teachers to teach students. Have you thought about asking me for advice?"

Shen Xia was a little shocked. She could feel Zhang Yanan's appreciation for her, but she didn't expect that Zhang Yanan would take the initiative to accept Shen Xia as his disciple so soon. Logically speaking, it would take three years for a medicine boy to become a registered disciple, but Shen Xia had only been in Deji Hall for two years.

Shen Xia raised her head and looked directly at Zhang Yanan. She saw a solemnity and expectation in Zhang Yanan's eyes that she had never seen before.

"Yes," Zhang Yanan heard Shen Xia say, "Shen Xia is asking for advice from you."
