Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

"I see it, it's a big mouse!"

"Young Master, don't talk nonsense, that is the God of Five Grains."

"How can the gods bite people?"

"This……"

The five-year-old Lu Yan was held in the hands of the old slave, obediently standing in front of Sun Shangxiang's clinic, raised his face and questioned the well-informed adult, but choked him.

The legend passed down from generation to generation, who can an illiterate old bone ask?

Although Lu Yan was young, the books he had read were half as tall as his own. Saints and sages talked about etiquette, benevolence and righteousness all day long, but no one ever told him what kind of god a mouse was.

So he slapped his mouth in dissatisfaction, and said Niannian: "You don't know, I want to ask Mr. Gu."

The Gu Gong that Xiao Luyan was talking about was not the silent and serious grandfather.

The old slave hastily held his hand steady, and called out to the ancestor: "Young Master, when can I not go? It's almost fifteen now, Mr. Gu has to take care of his clan's affairs, and he has to be busy helping His Majesty take care of it." What about the Lantern Festival where the lamps are lit to represent the Buddha? After the festival, the old slave will take you to the Gu Mansion every day, will it work?"

Such a young child is just when cats dislike dogs and don't love them. Even the cute and well-behaved Lu Yan can make people very uncomfortable.

It's fine to lead him out of the mansion secretly. If the governor and his wife know about it, how much less time will he be punished to kneel and copy books?

Lu's family style is rigorous.

But half a child, who doesn't like to play around?

After all, the old slave is partial to the young master, afraid that he will be bored at home, and even more afraid that the governor and his wife will find out, so that he will not be disciplined.

An old man and a young man were standing in a stalemate at the door. Lu Yan caught a glimpse of something from the corner of the other party's swaying sleeve, and immediately lost all the words he had just said. His eyes lit up, and he called out in great surprise: "Mr. ,gentlemen!"

Thin snow is sprinkled on the blue-gray slate like icing sugar, which makes the cold winter sun melt a little, and the ground is wet and black.

The visitor stepped on the soft moss marks, and the wind and dust on the sleeves also shone in the light, and fell gently with the step wind.

Li Yinzhou has been living away from home since the Yiling War, and recently received a letter from Sun Shangxiang asking for help before leaving for Wu. He and Lu Yan hadn't seen each other for more than two years. He suddenly heard a clear and crisp child's call, and was a little startled. He lowered his head for a moment. Lo and behold, it was only then that I recognized who it was.

Inheriting the lineage of Sun and Lu's family, little Lu Yan's appearance won at the starting line since he was a child, and now the heat from his lips rolls on the white fluffy fur, making his small face even more beautiful cute.

A pair of pitch-black round eyes stared at him eagerly, even Snowman's heart should melt.

Li Yinzhou bent down and patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't stop. He only explained to the old servant when he brushed himself: "Mr. Good young master."

The old slave knew that this was a matter of life and death, so he didn't dare to exchange greetings, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

On the contrary, Lu Yan hurriedly followed. Seeing that his old slave was still standing there, he anxiously took his hand and pulled him in: "I want to see it too!"

During the tugging, the two had stepped on the snow and entered the back room.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen straw mats placed vertically and horizontally in the inner hall, which is not so spacious. On each of them, there is a sick patient moaning in pain. These people either have scorched faces or are pale. There was a trace of blood on the rough and yellow face, showing a completely different sickness.

Li Yinzhou had already leaned over and pulled off one of the people's clothes, revealing the pinpoint-sized red spots on the ribs.

The old slave subconsciously pushed Lu Yan to the back, dared to say a word without blinking, and looked at Mr. Li's slightly tense eyebrows without blinking, and his heart was full of ideas.

These patients were sent to Sun Shangxiang's hospital after being bitten by rats. They presumably contracted plague, but I heard that their illnesses were different. Some qi was exhausted, so Tianjie squatted down and his calves became weak.

Therefore, even Mr. Sun, who has always been well-informed, was a little helpless, so he hurriedly invited Li Yinzhou from Weidi.

Little Lu Yan was pulled behind the old slave, couldn't see clearly, and anxiously wanted to poke his head out: "I want to see too!"

The old slave hurriedly "shh", lowered his voice and said: "This is a plague, and it will spread to others, so you can't see it!"

Although his voice was not loud, his tone was rare and serious. Not to mention Xiao Lu Yan, even the folks who were taking care of him at the side heard it, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

Sun Shangxiang raised her eyebrows, her eyes became serious: "What nonsense?"

The old slave took a step back. Just as he was about to explain, Li Yinzhou straightened up, rolled up his sleeves, and lowered his eyes lightly. He was neither disgusted nor nervous, and just said flatly: "What he said is not wrong." Miscalculation, it is indeed a plague, but it cannot be passed on at a glance."

Sun Shangxiang's heart skipped a beat: "It's really..."

Li Yinzhou nodded: "The kidney is plague-spotted fever, probably caused by rat bites."

Kidney spotted fever is just a classification of this disease in traditional Chinese medicine. So far, it does not have an exact name, but Li Yinzhou can roughly judge the real origin of this epidemic.

It is an epidemic hemorrhagic fever transmitted by rats.

He stroked his hands in an orderly manner, and pointed out his meridian to Sun Shangxiang: "Poison enters from the rat's mouth, and heat poison is transmitted from the air to the blood. , burns the kidney yin, and the source of transformation of the kidney is exhausted; at the same time, the gasification of the triple energizer is damaged, the body fluid is difficult to regulate, and the accumulation is water damage. Therefore, the three poisons of heat, water, and kidney exist in the body, the kidney meridian is damaged, and the body fluid is difficult to move , ① manifested as different symptoms."

After some medical classics explained, the people next to him became even more confused.

Sun Shangxiang's eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "I see, the person who was bitten only suffered from heat poison, so he only had a fever. Slowly heat poison damages the kidney yin, and if the water does not accumulate, it manifests as water poisoning." , cannot be relieved. Later, when the three poisons exist in the body, the kidney meridian is disordered, and it becomes polyuria and polylysis, and the patient also shows a lack of righteousness. It is no wonder that more than a dozen people can present many kinds of symptoms. It is precisely because one poison turns into Three poisons, different times, of course, different manifestations!"

Although she is a half-way monk, she has also studied Zhang Ji's works for many years. At this moment, with a little bit of reading, she instantly understands it in her chest.

After she interpreted it, the ignorant onlookers understood something.

But for the "three poisons entering the body", do we need three medicines to treat it?

Li Yinzhou took two steps, picked up a small brush, and wrote a few lines of thin and small characters on the rough white paper.As the pen moved between the lines of ink, he said in a loud voice: "For those with fever, use Qingrejiedu Liangxuehuayu decoction. For those with oliguria, add the four medicines of Polyporus, Talc, Tongcao, and Ejiao, and add another dose to the posterior orifice. Two bags of hot compress Kidney meridian. After diuresis, change to take Adenophora Radix Decoction, add or subtract Zhiwei Dihuang Decoction and Shuquan Pills. If you recover immediately, add Liuwei Dihuang Decoction. Take medicine for the symptoms, don’t rush, don’t make mistakes.”

In just a few words, several decoctions and nearly a hundred herbs have been covered. Even those who are not familiar with medical skills can't help being convinced at first, and they all murmur in their hearts: It is said that witch doctors are tricks, and Mr. Li has only been in the door for a while. , The writing is neat and tight, it really is divine help!

Xiao Luyan reads the books of sages and sages. How has he ever heard of these "creepy ways"?I listened for a long time with my ears upright, but I still didn't understand, so I whispered: "The master said that the witch doctor is inferior, but I think Mr. Li is better than the master. The master can only read what he said, but he didn't teach me how to do it." Save people. I'm going to ask my father to let me learn from Mr. Li!"

When the old slave heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to speak out in front of the two gentlemen that doctors were contemptible, so he just kept talking aside: "Young Master, if you don't go back, Madam is going to ask questions!"

All children are stubborn, and the more things they are not allowed to do, the more they must strive for strength. This sudden idea shot up like a flame, making Lu Yan's eyes flicker.Taking advantage of the moment when the old slave and Sun Shangxiang were saying goodbye, he got out from the bottom of his sleeve and ran straight to Li Yinzhou.

The child's eyes were full of clear and slender small characters on the case, he stumbled and fell forward suddenly.

Gently "pop".

The expected hard slate did not hit his face, and there was a faint scent of herbs lingering on the tip of his nose. Lu Yan's whole face was glued to the clean wide sleeves. He took a step back, his face flushed.

I wanted to ask my teacher sincerely, but before I could say anything, I almost knelt down first.

Counting down from the Lu family's ancestors, there is probably no one who fell on the ground like him.

Some indescribable grievances lingered in his heart, little Lu Yan's eyes were red, he was very strong and did not cry out, choked up for a moment, and bowed solemnly according to the family rules: "...Yan is disrespectful, thank you sir."

By the way, he covered his tearful eyes with the back of his hand.

I really don't know who is following this stubborn temper.

Li Yinzhou knew that the child had a lot of self-esteem, so he held his hand to speculate for a moment, and decided to share a little secret with him.

So he also leaned down and lowered his head, approaching his little head, and said in a low voice: "Young master, don't be sad, when your father was your age, he was still digging into dog holes."

Lu Yan was skeptical.

Even if he went back 30 years, he still couldn't imagine that his father could do such a shameful thing as drilling a dog hole, and even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to prove it himself.

But Mr. Li said these words, so it is plausible.

After hesitating for a moment, little Lu Yan still listened to Li Yinzhou's consolation, obediently wiped away his tears, and his head was like scratching rice: "Yeah."

Li Yinzhou looked at him interestingly: "What did the young master want to say just now?"

Just now?Lu Yan thought about it carefully, and also felt that he was sloppy. From ancient times to the present, when studying and appreciating teachers, one must pay attention to sincerity and spirit. How can he casually propose such a serious matter to others?

After this interruption, he thought of something else, simply put down the matter of apprenticeship for now, blinked, and looked up at Li Yinzhou: "Sir just said that the disease was caused by the bite of a mouse, but the mouse Why did you come out to bite people when you obviously ate up all the meat porridge in our family?"

Li Yinzhou never thought that a child could think so deeply.

In this era, the mouse was called the god of grains. Although it was a disaster, people did not dare to touch it easily. They only sacrificed it with meat porridge on the [-]th day, praying that it would stay away from silkworms after eating the meat porridge, and let the people live in peace. day.

This is still a serious sacrificial activity.

But if you want to know, how can rats stay away from people because they are full?

"The rat problem is a bit rampant recently, but it's not so rampant." Sun Shangxiang passed by at some point, his eyes rolled while he rested his chin in thought, and suddenly smiled faintly.

She looked at Lu Yan, then at Li Yinzhou, and her smile deepened: "Why don't we catch mice tonight."

Catching mice?

Before Li Yinzhou said anything, Lu Yan gave a small cheer, tugged on Li Yinzhou's sleeve lightly, as if afraid of his refusal, and said first: "Sir, it's good to sit at the mansion."

The sound is waxy, like a soft dumpling.

The mood of wanting to play outside the words can't be suppressed at all.

Being stared at by the big and the young, Li Yinzhou smiled and simply agreed.

"Only this time, not next time."

……

It was night, and the snow fell silently.

The moon is boundless, falling on the high and low corners of the eaves, outlining the solemn and solemn Lu Mansion into silhouettes as deep as mountains.Sun Shangxiang, Li Yinzhou and Lu Yan hid in the tall building offering sacrifices to the God of Five Grains, quietly waiting for the rats to move out that night.

Boom, boom.

Just as the three of them were sleeping, a muffled voice came from the roof.

Sun Shangxiang regained his energy immediately, raised his brows slightly, and his pupils were curved with moonlight: "Listen, the little mouse is here."
