Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Five days ago, Kaifeng Mansion.

"Mr. Gongsun, my mother's illness..."

Gongsun Ce frowned, and slowly pulled up the sleeves of the old lady in front of him, only to see that the old lady's arms were covered with horrible red blisters of different sizes, some of which had been scratched and pus, mixed with yellow and white blisters oozing blood. pus.

"Sir, it's not just on the arms, my mother said that she has such blisters all over her body, and it's itchy and painful..."

"How long has the old lady been like this?"

"It's been almost a month. At first, there were not many red bumps, and they were not very obvious. They were bitten by some insects. But recently, there are more and more red bumps on my mother's body. We I went to many doctors, but they couldn’t tell what the disease was. During this period of time, the pimples turned into blisters, and the longer they grew, the worse they became. I had no choice but to come to Beijing to see you! They all said that you are Hua Tuo alive, my mother This disease must be nothing to worry about!" The man wiped his sweat anxiously, and looked at Gongsun Ce expectantly.

"Your mother's illness is caused by the herpes on her body when she touches water, um, the blisters you said are getting more and more?"

"Ah?" Before the man could react, the old lady who had been sitting nodded and said slowly, "As the gentleman said, when I touch the water, my old lady seems to go crazy, and the pain hurts me a lot. Sleepless all night."

Gongsun saw that the old lady couldn't help but wanted to grab the herpes on her hand again, so he took the silver needles on the side, and after a little overheating, he pricked the old lady's Hegu Quchi each, twisted it lightly, and asked : "Do you feel better now?"

After a while, the old lady nodded and replied, "Thank you sir, it is indeed better, and the pain is not so great."

Seeing that Gongsun's acupuncture was effective, the man hurriedly asked, "Sir, do you know what strange disease my mother has?"

Gongsun Ce pursed his lips, frowned and said: "The symptoms of the old lady are very similar to the waist-wrapped fire pill, but there are some differences. I can't make a conclusion for the time being. Please stay in Kaifeng Mansion for a while, let the The students will do diagnosis and treatment again."

"Wrapping... Waist Fire Pill?" The man recited it uncertainly, "What kind of disease is this?"

"The waist-wrapped fire pill is also known as the Snake Pass. This disease is different from other diseases. When it occurs, red herpes will appear on the body, which is painful and itchy, and will gradually grow into a circle on the body. The older generation's People believe in legends, and think that snake-borne diseases are caused by earth dragons on people. If people are wrapped around their waists by earth dragons, people will be strangled to death by earth dragons. The distribution of herpes is also completely different from that of ordinary loin-clothed fire pills, and the students dare not say that."

The man obviously didn't understand what Gongsun was talking about. He just felt that he had found the right person. The old mother's illness was cured. He even thanked him, but Gongsun didn't explain much. He just found someone to settle the mother and child. The two lived together and went to check the medical books again.If it was just a simple loin-wrapped fire pill, Gongsun felt that it was still very easy to treat. After all, this disease is not a rare disease. It is just that many people are ashamed to speak out and die without telling it. As a result, it became more and more serious, and even died of serious illness... … Generally speaking, the loin-wrapped fire pill will not kill people.However, although this old lady has the symptoms of loin-clothed fire pill, it is indeed not real loin-clothed fire pill, and the usual treatment method is definitely not appropriate, but what kind of disease is this?

Gongsun rarely frowned, and looked at the big tank outside his window, the originally calm water seemed to echo his gaze, with clear ripples.The mysterious seeds sent by Bai Jintang are planted in this big vat. They have germinated and have been moved from a small cup to a small bowl, and then to a large bowl. Now they have been planted in this big vat. Green and green, but the tip of the leaves is a rare transparent color with a touch of tender red. Gongsun is already [-]% sure about these ancient plants, and he is waiting for the moment when the flowers bloom to confirm his guess.

A few days later, Gongsun took medicine for the old lady several times, but there was no obvious improvement. The old lady's son was named Zhong Shiping. Seeing that the old lady's symptoms had not changed, he kept asking Gongsun what to do.

Gongsun frowned and said, "I'm short of a medicine."

Zhong Shiping asked: "Which rare medicine, sir, tell me, I will find it."

"It's not a rare medicine. You should have heard of it. It is Hulancao. But recently, I have sent people to the whole of Kyoto and even the prefectures and towns near Kyoto to ask about it. There is no such medicine."

"Hulancao? Isn't this commonly used to treat colds? This... this is very common, why can't I find it everywhere?" Zhong Shiping looked in disbelief.

"Maybe it was a hostile takeover."

"what?"

Faced with Zhong Shiping's question, Gongsun didn't explain too much, because he had already discovered this matter and asked Mr. Bao to investigate, but the result of Mr. Bao's investigation was that the people who bought Hulancao in every pharmacy were not from the same group, and These buyers are not locals, no one knows them, and these people have never appeared again after Hulancao disappeared in pharmacies, and the most worrying thing is that even the source merchants of the drug dealers said that there will be no one in a while This medicine is in short supply all over the country.

Gongsun was a little worried about this matter. Ordinarily, the Hulancao is not a very important medicinal material. For example, the cold mentioned by Zhong Shiping just now. For the old lady's disease, Gongsun tried many medicinal materials to replace Hu Lancao, but found that none of them worked.

It seems that it has reached the point where it cannot go on without this medicine.

This made Gongsun very anxious, and Hulancao is an aquatic plant with a long maturity period, so I can't plant it by myself now, otherwise, when he has the results, the day lily may be cold... But if you say, someone is malicious The purpose of the purchase was to prevent the old lady from being treated, and Gongsun would never believe it. First, the old lady’s family looked like ordinary people. Even if someone really wanted to seek revenge, they would not find such a cheap and painful way; It must not be a simple character who can engage in monopoly acquisitions here, and spend a lot of trouble just to torture an old lady?Brain kicked by a donkey?

Gongsun once had a very terrifying hypothesis, which he didn't even mention to anyone, that is, he suspected that the old lady had a contagious plague, and once this plague broke out, the consequences would be disastrous, but after he checked After Zhong Shiping's body, he immediately denied this hypothesis, because Zhong Shiping has been taking care of the old lady all the time, but he has no symptoms at all, and according to Zhong Shiping, their family members have also frequently talked with the old lady during these days. Contact, but only the old lady developed a rash.

Lack of medicine, but not a plague, this may be considered a blessing in misfortune.

Gongsun also asked Zhong Shiping about the cause of the old lady's illness, such as whether the old lady ate and drank differently from usual?It's just that it's been a long time, and Zhong Shiping doesn't remember that much. After repeated inquiries from Gongsun, Zhong Shiping finally remembered that his mother had eaten a piece of rotten pork a month ago. At that time, the old lady said that someone gave her a piece of meat. When I was planning to make stewed meat, I found that the meat was spoiled. Not only did it smell strange, but the color and texture of the meat were not quite right, so I was about to throw it away, but the old lady refused to let it go. After all, ordinary people like them have a meal of meat. Eating is also a kind of luxury. The old lady can't see it being wasted. Seeing that everyone doesn't eat it, she stewed the meat herself and divided it into several meals. The meat is obviously not fresh. The old lady had diarrhea for three days after eating .

But guesses are just guesses after all. It is really hard to say whether the old lady's illness is necessarily related to the meat she ate.

Gongsun was having a headache when suddenly someone knocked on the door and said, "Sir, a visitor is looking for you."

"Which one?"

The outsider replied: "The visitor said that he is from Su Liran's family."

"The Su family? Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

It has been a long time since Su Liran left Beijing. I remember that before Su Liran left, Gongsun mentioned to him about the vacancy of Hulancao. At that time, Su Liran said that he would help to pay attention on the way. At this time, he sent someone here, maybe there is Hulancao. ?

Thinking of this, he hurried out.

Gongsun's guess was right, the people from Su Liran really sent Hulan grass, although there were not many, but it could solve the urgent need. Su Liran found it in a small pharmacy in a very remote country after asking people to search many places, and he only had this package in his hand. After the bag is used up, I am afraid that there will be no medicine for a while.

After thanking them and giving them away, Gongsun hurriedly took out the medicine and the previous medicines and soaked them in water together. This medicine is precious and must be treated with caution.

After taking the first dose of medicine, the old lady's symptoms were relieved not long after. Gongsun sighed, thinking that the medicine for Su Liran was delivered in time. After all, the old lady is old, although Gongsun took good care of her. , there are still many pus and ulcers on the body, if there is no good medicine, I am afraid that I will not survive next month... Now that I have this life-saving medicine, as long as I take good care of it, a full recovery is just around the corner.

After ten days like this, the old lady's body recovered better and better, the place where the pus had started to scab, the rash had also faded, and her spirit was much better than before. Zhong Shiping was very happy. He insisted on sending a plaque of Hua Tuo alive to Gongsun, but it took Gongsun a lot of effort to make him give up this idea.

Seeing that the old lady had almost recovered, Zhong Shiping was so anxious that he wanted to go home again, saying that he had been out for a long time, his family was worried, and he had to go back to report that he was safe.

Gongsun originally wanted the old lady to take the last dose of medicine in Kaifeng Mansion before leaving, but Zhong Shiping had to help get the medicine all the time, and said that he could take the medicine with the old lady back, and the steps of decocting medicine should be taught to him. They are familiar with each other, and Gongsun also knows that the two women are eager to return, seeing that the old lady is really fine, so he agrees.

The two women are very grateful, and they took the medicine and went back to their hometown the next day. Everyone praised how powerful Mr. Gongsun of Kaifeng Mansion is, so close to blowing Gongsun into the sky as the Jade Emperor.

I thought it all ended smoothly, but Gongsun Wan didn't expect that this was just the beginning of his nightmare...
