Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 28
"Who dares to come to my store to make trouble. I don't know that the captain of the town security is my nephew."

There was a angry roar from the inner room of the medical hall, the door curtain was lifted, and a thin, straight-backed old man in his seventies came out. He had a fair complexion, a thick black mustache, and was wearing a gray cloth gown, just like an ancient master.

The old man walked in front of him, his eyes swept over the faces of the three of them, and finally fell on San Pao.

"San Pao, you kid can do it! Bring someone to my place to make trouble, do you want to show some face?"

San Pao grinned and replied, "Uncle Guang, look at what you said, we came to buy medicine, my brother said that we took the wrong medicine, but you didn't mean to say no, just open your mouth and say you're causing trouble."

Taking the wrong medicine?
The old man squinted his eyes and opened the door to do business. It is understandable to make a small mistake.

But Chinese medicine is different, taking the wrong medicine can kill you.

If it were in ancient times, if the wrong medicine was taken blindly, the patient could take off the signboard of the medical clinic.

Turning to look at the innocent-looking granddaughter, the girl jumped up and down, "How could I catch the wrong one? I got full marks in Chinese medicine at school, and I can recite the Compendium of Materia Medica. There are only a few medicines in that prescription, and people can do it with their eyes closed." Grasp."

"Don't say a few words." The old man stared at his granddaughter, "The customer said that the medicine was taken wrong."

The girl angrily tore open a pack of medicines from the counter, pointed to one of the flavors inside, "Here! It's dried ginger, he insisted it was fresh ginger."

Oh!
Seeing the medicinal materials, the old man knew that his granddaughter had indeed caught the wrong one, and looked at Li Hongbing meaningfully, intending to take the school exam, "How can the guest distinguish between dried ginger and fresh ginger?"

Li Hongbing knew the old man's careful thinking, and had been personally taught by dozens of ancient doctors, so he naturally picked up the ginger slices in the medicine bag.

"There are nine kinds of ginger, fresh ginger, dried ginger, sliced ​​ginger, shredded ginger, stewed ginger, roasted ginger, fried ginger, ginger charcoal, and pure ginger."

"Dried ginger is planted in spring and made from mother ginger that is dug in winter. There is a saying that there is no ginger without aconite, and it is not hot when you go away. It is dedicated to assisting aconite to return to Yang and unblock the heart."

"Ginger is planted in spring, and the ginger that grows around the mother ginger is made. It enters the lungs and spleen and stomach, walks without guarding, sweats and relieves the surface, helps yin and yang, and dehumidifies and enlightens."

"Although the two gingers are similar, their medicinal properties are different, right?"

After speaking, Li Hongbing stood up with a smile.

"it is good!"

Guangming clapped his hands and praised, don't look at Xiaoxiao's dried ginger blindly, there is a lot of knowledge in it, the preparation methods are different, and the functions are very different.

Until now, there are still many people who don't know what dried ginger is.

As Li Hongbing said, dried ginger is actually the mother ginger of the mother ginger. The mother ginger is cut into the soil and sprouts. After the ginger buds grow up, they are picked off, and the remaining roots of the mother ginger are also dried. This is the real dried ginger, and the buds growing on the mother ginger are ginger, and this ginger cannot be called dried ginger after it is dried.

However, now that patients are eager for quick success, patients just want to be quick. First, traditional Chinese medicine was impacted by Western medicine chemicals, and then Chinese herbal medicines were planted and spoiled, forming a vicious circle.

Over time, traditional Chinese medicine, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has become a scam.

Although the country is also vigorously promoting and supporting Chinese medicine, the result is that there are more and more students of Chinese medicine, but fewer and fewer proficient ones.

In the past, the reason why Chinese medicine was so good was because they had a lot of stuff in their stomachs and memorized the four major classics. The four minor classics were just basic skills. Now, if you go to any Chinese medicine university, you can even count as undergraduates and graduate students. There are several treatises on febrile disease.

Guangming was discouraged by the decline of traditional Chinese medicine. He resigned from his high-ranking post and came to his deceased wife's hometown to open a medical clinic, willing to become a rural doctor.

Just based on Li Hongbing's understanding of dried ginger, it is known that he has a very deep understanding of medicinal materials, and there must be expert teaching behind him, and Guangming's eyes can't help showing love for talent.

"Okay, what a Jiujiang. I never thought that in Songbai Town, I could meet a young hero who is so thorough in medicinal materials. I don't know which one of the eight schools you belong to."

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

From ancient times to the present, there are schools of Taoism, sects of Buddhism, schools of martial arts, and schools of literature.

The world of Chinese medicine is no exception. It is also divided into eight schools, namely the Shanghan School, the Qianjin School, the Jufang School, the Wenbu School, the Gongxie School, the Hanliang School, the Huitong School, and the Vulcan School. A hundred or even a thousand years of inheritance.

The old man Guangming came from the Qianjin School, and he was a disciple of the master Zhang Jianzhai.

The founder of the Qianjin School is Sun Simiao. Founded in the Tang Dynasty, the Qianjin School was the most strict in pursuing noble medical ethics, emphasizing the importance of doctors' behavioral norms, and believed that "human life is the most important thing, and there are precious daughters. If one side helps them, virtue goes beyond this", This is also the reason why Qianjin Pai got its name.

Li Hongbing knew that this was a question among colleagues. After all, colleagues are like enemies, let alone Chinese medicine practitioners who are competing for medical skills.

"I don't have a school of thought, just family medicine."

Guangming was stunned.

Quack school?
Jianghu school is independent of the eight schools and has its own system. It is also known as Jianghu doctor, grass doctor, and wandering doctor. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was renamed Barefoot Doctor and Country Doctor.

Different from the eight major sects, they have no fixed clinics and practice medicine in all directions. They carry a medicine box on their backs. No matter it is windy or rainy, they go from house to house, relying on traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, scraping, cupping, bloodletting and other means to solve the pain of the people. There is a unique set of treatment methods for intractable diseases. The medical ancestor Bian Que, the genius doctor Hua Tuo, the Fang ancestor Zhang Zhongjing, and the medicine sage Li Shizhen were all quack doctors.

However, with the medical reform in the mid-80s, barefoot doctors gradually became the main body of rural general practice assistant doctors with professional backgrounds, and profit-making medical treatment without a certificate can be regarded as illegal practice of medicine, but barefoot doctors are mostly low-educated groups, and the learning system Medical treatment and research were very difficult, and gradually barefoot doctors disappeared from the public's sight.

Now that the medical system is so strict, who would dare to practice medicine without a license?

I haven't heard of any well-known Chinese medicine practitioners in Songbai Town. It seems that there was an old doctor, Mr. Li, who passed away almost 20 years ago, and I hadn't come to Songbai Town at that time.

Guangming asked again, "Cunkou or three parts."

"Examine everywhere!" Li Hongbing said two words calmly.

Immediately.

Guangming looked at Li Hongbing in disbelief, his expression was a little excited, and his body trembled slightly. He never expected to hear the word "Blind Diagnosis" in his lifetime.

"Grandpa, what is comprehensive consultation?" The girl listened to the conversation between the two with a blank expression.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. The universal diagnosis method is also called the three-part nine-houss comprehensive diagnosis method. It originated from the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic and has been lost for many years. Before his death, your master lamented the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine and how many exquisite medical books are unparalleled in the world."

"Didn't you say that the method of dividing meridians and meridians newly learned at school is very difficult, in fact, the method of dividing meridians and meridians is a cut-down version of the general diagnosis method. I never thought that I would meet the successor of the general diagnosis today. I will have no regrets in this life."

When Guangming explained to his granddaughter, he also told Li Hongbing that he had an orderly succession from his teachers, and at the same time laid a foundation for his future medical skills.

With a smile on his face, Li Hongbing pointed to the sliced ​​ginger in the medicine bag, "Refill the medicine, I'm in a hurry, thank you."

"Lai Lai, dried ginger is in the fourth cabinet, the fifth row, and the second drawer."

Guangming ordered his granddaughter to refill the medicine, and continued to investigate Li Hongbing's details.

"Little brother, I don't know if your diagnosis method is from master or family."

The purpose of this trip to the town to grab medicine is to spread the news about his medical skills, so as to put a layer of insurance on the heart of nature.

"Family legend, my grandfather is Chief Li."

Damn!

Guangming's complexion changed drastically, and he quickly cupped his hands, "It turned out to be Mrs. Li's grandson. When I came to Songbai Town, all the towns and villages praised Mr. Li's superb medical skills. It's a pity that Mr. Li passed away. It's a pity that I can't make tea with him to discuss medicine. !"

At this time.

The girl came over with the freshly grasped medicine, Li Hongbing took it and smelled it again, this time it was right.

When it came time to pay, Guangming refused to accept it, and Li Hongbing scanned the money with his mobile phone.

As the saying goes, you are short-handed and soft-hearted. For more than 2000 yuan, it is not worthwhile to pay back a favor that you cannot refuse in the future.

Before leaving, Guangming enthusiastically invited him to dinner, but Li Hongbing refused because he had a patient at home and was waiting to go back to make medicine, but he still left his mobile phone number and invited him to Caogou Village when he was free.

The grandfather and grandson personally sent Li Hongbing out of the medicine hall, while Guangming stood at the door with a look of regret.

The girl didn't take it seriously, "Grandpa, isn't he just a quack doctor, who knows a little about medicinal materials, but doesn't know if he will see a doctor, so there is a need to be so concerned!"

Hearing his granddaughter's ridicule, Guangming sighed slightly.

"You don't understand. Traditional Chinese medicine seems to be full of talents, but in fact it is dying and dying. This little brother is familiar with the nature of medicinal materials and has inherited medical skills from his family. He has all kinds of diagnostic methods but lives in the mountains and villages. His pearls and jades are dusty!"

Out of the Guangming Medical Center.

Li Hongbing returned to Caogou Village without stopping.

There was a delay in the infirmary for a while.

By the time I returned to Caogou Village, it was already a branch on the moon.

The old house was lit with dim lights.

As soon as the car stopped, Erhuang and Sanhei rushed out from the gate shaking their heads, circling around the front of the car, whining.

"What about you two, Dahua and Xiaobai?" Li Hongbing jumped off the motorcycle.

Ow!Ow!
Erhuang raised his head and hummed a few times.

"You came out to pick me up, the two of them are accompanying Shanxing, it's great!"

While Li Hongbing was speaking, Dakui, Tie Zhu and several sister-in-laws came out from the courtyard gate.

Seeing that the silly boy was unloading the meat, she walked up quickly to help, while Guifeng's sister-in-law was muttering as she walked.

"Bought so much meat again, there is enough for the family. If they are kept in their mouths, no one will dare to ask them to work in the future."

"Eating meat will give you the strength to work. Sister-in-law, I'm going to make braised pork tomorrow!" Li Hongbing walked up to Guifeng and Xiu'e's sister-in-law with a smile on his face, "This is medicine. It's all divided up. Remember to take the medicine according to the prescription." .”

"Thank you uncle, thank you." The two sisters-in-law took the medicine gratefully. At this time, Guifeng's sister-in-law whispered, "Uncle Hongbing, Shanxing has woken up and is waiting for you in the house."

Shanxing woke up!

Li Hongbing's calm heart became tense, and under the teasing of his sisters-in-law, he stepped over the threshold and walked towards the main room.
