Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 168 Guizhi Decoction can prevent typhoid fever

Liu Bian got off the carriage and stared intently at the vehicle where Zeng Aniu and other doctors were riding. He wanted to ask Zeng Aniu face to face if you were greedy for anything, otherwise how could your family have changed so much... You are a doctor Ah, doctor, you are not a high-ranking official, so why expand your mansion to a size comparable to a small village?
Touching his nose, Liu Bian thought: Do you want to go back and check your own mansion? ——He didn’t even take a good look around his mansion?

It’s all because he has too many paperwork, which makes him immersed in paperwork every day and has no time for a walk!
Thinking of this, Liu Bian trembled and thought: Yes, yes!Hurry to see Zeng Aniu’s grandfather, don’t waste any more time... Otherwise, you will have to stay up late at night to process paperwork!
"——Zeng Aniu?" Liu Bian said.

After Liu argued, he realized that Zeng Aniu and the other two old doctors were still not getting out of the car.

what's the situation?

But I heard Zeng Aniu say: "Your Highness, in order to prevent you from contracting the disease, please forgive us for not being able to travel with you, Your Highness."

Not in the same profession?After all this, are you still being pretentious? ——How do I know where your grandfather is?
Liu Bian couldn't laugh or cry.

At this moment, the door in front of him creaked open, and a gray-haired old man appeared and shouted:
"His Royal Highness! Is it Your Highness? This old man pays homage to Your Highness!"

Liu Bian was taken aback, looked up and saw the old man was trembling and was about to bow down.

With sharp eyes, Liu Bian immediately recognized the old man. He was the old village chief who provided him with six bowls of well water in the past.

correct!The old village head also told him the information about Bohai County being occupied by rebels.

Memories flooded into Liu Bian's mind. Liu Bian felt warm in his heart. He immediately stepped forward, helped the old man up, and said warmly: "Please get up quickly, please get up quickly! Old sir, do you still remember me?" "

The old man was supported by him, slowly raised his head, and said with a smile: "I remember, how could I not remember? - Your Highness, please follow me into the house to talk. It's too cold outside."

After saying this, the old man led Liu Bian into the house.

Cao Cao ordered his two followers to keep an eye on the carriage, and then followed him in with the remaining guards.

Later, Zeng Aniu and two other old doctors poked their heads out of the carriage, kept a distance from Liu Bian and his party, and carefully slipped into the house.

Liu Bian followed the old man as he strolled through the huge mansion, and gradually realized that he was overthinking: the mansion in front of him looks huge from the outside, but inside the mansion, there are... mostly medicine fields!
In other words: Zeng Aniu's house was at most a delicate three-story house of medium size, and the fields originally divided for Zeng Aniu were enclosed by long walls.

Therefore, Liu Bian walked for a long time before returning to the small and exquisite brick house from the endless medicinal fields.

But Liu Bian was so tired that he was slightly out of breath.

During this period, Liu Bian found out interestingly: Most of the medicinal fields were covered with snow, but not many were frozen... The old man said in a toothless voice: "Although most medicinal materials will be frozen, some special medicinal materials must survive." A cold place. It’s a coincidence this time, the medicinal materials needed happen to be special.”

Liu Bian listened very hard, and it took him a long time to analyze it.

Cao Cao and others followed Liu Bian quietly, and were quite surprised after hearing the old man's explanation.

After that, the guards all stood guard outside the house, while Liu Bian, Cao Cao, and Cao Ang followed the old man into the house.

"Is it cold?" the old man asked.

Liu Bian was pleased to see that there were all the heating facilities in the house: fire basins, fire barrels and fire pits, no less!
"Light a brazier?" Liu Bian said.

He didn't want to squat in a fire barrel, as that would be too unworthy of the majestic image of the eldest son of the emperor.

The old man staggered and lit the brazier...Cao Cao couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative: "Old sir, sit down and let me do it!"

After all, Cao Cao quickly lit the brazier and placed it in the middle of the crowd to keep them warm.

With the brazier, the room suddenly felt much warmer.

The old man asked again: "What can't you smell?"

Ok?
Liu Bian was stunned for a moment and took a sniff, but he didn't smell anything.

"What's there?" Liu Bian asked.

The old man said: "Earlier, I cooked a pot of medicinal soup. It is almost ready now. I would like to invite Your Highness to taste it."

Liu Bian's mouth twitched, and his first reaction was: That's it?That's it? ——Just for a pot of medicinal soup, you called him to Zeng Aniu's house, who was busy with everything? ...it feels too random!
Afterwards, Liu Bian's heart moved, and he asked, "What is the effect of this medicinal soup?"

The old man smiled slightly and said: "I said you are smart, and it is true!
That's right!Just as His Highness thought, this medicinal soup can prevent the infection of that disease. Although it cannot be [-]%, it can eliminate most of them!It works! "

"Oh?" This time, before Liu Bian said anything, Cao Cao asked with interest, "Have you prepared the medicinal soup? What are the medicinal ingredients...?"

"Do you also understand medical science?" The old man waved his hand, "I will bring it for you now."

The old man walked slowly, as if all his strength was used in walking. Liu Bian was worried about what if the old man accidentally fell down.Wouldn't that cost the old man's life?
Silently, Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao understood this and quickly stopped the old man and said in a good temper: "Let me do it? Where is the medicinal soup?"

"Just in the kitchen..." the old man said.

"Please wait a moment, sir." Cao Cao first pushed the old man back on his chair, then cupped his hands towards Liu Bian, and then strode towards the kitchen... When he was young, Cao Cao brought a pot of steaming medicinal soup and placed it on the table. .

During this period, Cao Ang also quickly got into the kitchen, took out three empty bowls, plus three spoons, and placed them on the table.

At the same time, the strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine spread out, and the smell was so strong that it almost knocked Liu Bian out!

"That...that's?!" Liu Bian's expression changed and he couldn't help but cover his nose with his hands, "It smells too bad!"

Cao Cao and Cao Ang didn't look very good either. They both held their breath and kept fanning their noses with their hands.

"This is the medicinal soup to prevent that kind of disease infection." The old man was very calm and was not affected by the smell of the medicinal soup at all. He introduced himself, "This medicinal soup also has a name, it is called "Guizhi Decoction". Take cinnamon twigs and peony and combine them, three or two, in the same amount. Make a decoction to prevent the invasion of "typhoid fever"!

Moreover, if you add three liang of cinnamon twigs, it can cure the rush of Qi!
If you add three ounces of peony root, you can make Xiaojianzhong Decoction that can treat acute abdominal pain!
Furthermore, if you add aconite, kudzu root, ginseng, rhubarb, poria and other medicinal materials to Guizhi decoction, dozens of prescriptions can be derived!

I believe you will be amazed by its wonderful changes and excellent curative effect. "

Liu Bian: "..."

Cao Cao: "..."

Cao Ang: "..."

No, he is indeed a miracle doctor, his grandfather is indeed amazing!Liu Bian and others didn't understand a word of what was said!
However, Liu Bian knew that after drinking the unpleasant-smelling medicinal soup in front of him, he no longer had to worry about contracting typhoid fever. As expected, dried meat made from dead cattle and sheep was the easiest to get sick after eating, and the disease was typhoid fever. ?
Liu Bian was thoughtful and couldn't help but doubt the relationship between the old man and Zhang Zhongjing... Could it be that the old man recognized Zhang Zhongjing?Otherwise, how can we understand the considerable content in Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases?

In his ear, he heard the old man say: "Your Highness, please have a drink to warm yourself up."

Liu Bian shivered, and when he came to his senses, he saw Cao Cao scooping a bowl of medicinal soup for him in accordance with the old man's instructions.

Smelling the earthy "Guizhi Soup" up close, Liu Bian's facial features were distorted: This, this, this... is this medicinal soup really effective?Don't think that if he drinks a bowl of hard work, he will still get sick in the end?

"Drink." Cao Cao reminded respectfully.

Liu Bian opened his mouth and then closed it. He didn't want to drink this Chinese medicine at all... Is this Chinese medicine?Is this traditional Chinese medicine?Is this traditional Chinese medicine? !
Only Chinese medicine has an outrageous medicinal taste! "You guys drink first?" Liu Bian struggled.

Cao Cao said: "No, no, no, you are the lord, you drink first! After you drink, I can drink later."

Liu Bian said: "No, no, no need to be strict! My king allows you to drink first!"

Cao Cao said: "The old gentleman specially invited His Highness to drink the medicinal soup! Can Your Highness not let the old gentleman down?"

Liu Bian said: "Cao Mengde, what do you mean? Do I know how to pour medicine?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "I hope my lord will not break his promise."

Without waiting for Liu Bian to speak, Cao Cao quickly filled a bowl for himself, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it all!

Liu Bian was stunned!

"You...you..." Pointing at Cao Cao, Liu Bian was speechless.

He thought Cao Cao was also afraid of the bitterness of the medicine... As expected of you, Cao Cao!You can really drink!
"Ang'er, don't even think about avoiding it!" Cao Cao drank the medicinal soup without changing his expression and turned his attention to Cao Ang.

Cao Cao filled a bowl of medicinal soup for Cao Ang.

"Father, father..." Cao Ang was crying, and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Cao Cao looked down at Cao Ang almost condescendingly and uttered one word: "——Drink!"

Cao Ang: "..."

Cao Ang wanted to cry, but said to Liu Bian, "Your Highness, I can't resist...I'll drink it first!"

Cao Ang closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and drank from the bowl!

Liu Bian stared dumbfoundedly at Cao Ang, who drank the entire bowl, stuck out his tongue, and wrinkled his face, all feeling uncomfortable.

"It tastes too bad..." Cao Ang said.The next moment, Cao Ang seemed to remember something and abruptly changed his words, "Your Highness, it's actually not bad to drink."

——You are so false, do you really think I will believe it?
Liu Bian held the medicinal soup in his hand and couldn't drink it.

There is nothing I can do, this medicinal soup is too unpleasant to drink.

"Old man, have you drunk?" Liu Bian suggested, "How about...?"

Holding the medicinal soup, Liu Bian looked like he wanted to hand the bowl of medicinal soup to the old man.

Cao Cao and Cao Ang looked over intently.

The old man said: "As an old man, he has one foot in the coffin. It's okay if he doesn't drink."

"How can this work?" Liu Bian disagreed.

The old man sighed and said: "Your Highness, I know what your plan is! Please don't refuse your Highness! The medicine is a bit bitter, but it is effective! Drink a bowl to keep you safe, and Niu will also drink it later!
By the way, can you help me call A Niu? "

The old man said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao responded readily.

Then, Cao Cao not only brought Zeng Aniu, but also two other old doctors.

Zeng Aniu came, feeling quite depressed, as if he had been reprimanded by Cao Cao.The old man ignored Zeng Aniu's frustration, pointed to the slightly cold medicinal soup on the table, and said:
"A Niu, you, A Yan and A Xin drink this medicinal soup together."

Zeng Aniu silently took the other three bowls and spoons, and drank them in one gulp in front of Liu Bian, as if he was drinking water, holding them relaxedly and comfortably.Finally, Zeng Aniu said:

"Your Highness, it's really not bad to drink. Would you like to have a taste?"

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian looked towards the other two old doctors.

I saw two other old doctors saying in unison: "Your Highness, it's really not bad to drink, why don't you have a taste?"

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian was speechless: You guys worked hard enough to let me drink the medicinal soup!

Speaking of this, what else can Liu Bian do? ——Drink, your health will be guaranteed; if you don’t drink, you will get sick easily!

...So, you must drink it!
After calming down, Liu Bian drank the medicinal soup.

And, I almost vomited!

Finally, after slowly enduring, taking a sip of the medicinal soup, and drinking a bowl of warm water, Liu Bian finally succeeded in taking the "Guizhi Decoction", but he was exhausted.

Liu Bian smacked his tongue: I don’t want to drink anymore in the future——

And slow!

Liu Bian put down the empty bowl and asked curiously: "Old sir, how do you know what typhoid fever "Guizhi Decoction" can prevent? "

The old man ordered Zeng Aniu and other redundant doctors to wash the dishes. When only Liu Bian, Cao Cao and Cao Ang were left, he said: "It's a long story!
Even when I was young and old, I had traveled far and wide!Although his medical skills are still not good, they are not as good as those of Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu, whose courtesy name is Pinji, is a doctor whom I knew when I was young. He was born in a family of doctors and is a native of Nieyang, Nanjun. He is quite famous in Nanjun. He is good at medicine and has a good pulse. It is proven that it has miraculous effects in curing diseases. "Qiliu Pinji Qingkou Prescription" has been handed down from generation to generation. I wonder if your highness, you have read it?

——It’s okay if you haven’t seen it!In short, the old man and this guy often discuss medical skills!
When this guy was young, he also had a restless temper and liked to run around... It was then that the old man got acquainted with that guy.Because of that guy, the old medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds!
Later, about 20 years ago, a plague broke out in the entire Han Dynasty every two or three years!Especially the year after the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended, it was particularly serious!Many people died because of this!Zhang Chu was so anxious that he gathered doctors from all over the country. They spent the whole day studying how to cure this disease and plague!
The recipe of Guizhi Soup was invented that year.

Not to mention, it really works!

Of course, we have also summarized other diseases and treatment methods, such as fever, aversion to cold, strong pain in the head and neck, and floating pulse, which are superficial syndromes and are called "Taiyang Diseases"!
They are both Taiyang diseases, but they are different in the form of sweating without sweating, slow pulse and rapid pulse!
Among them, those with sweating and floating and slow pulse are Taiyang disease and stroke, and need to take Guizhi Decoction; those without sweating and floating and tight pulse are Taiyang disease and typhoid, and should take Mahuang Decoction; those with no sweating, tight pulse and increased irritability, It also belongs to Daqinglong Decoction... In this way, doctors can be simple and complex, and be able to deal with all kinds of complex symptoms with confidence.

If I am not mistaken, the disease contained in the dried meat this time is Taiyang disease and stroke, and you need to take Guizhi decoction!

Now that His Highness has taken "Guizhi Decoction", the old man can finally feel relieved. "

Liu Bian curled his lips and was also elated: How good!They did not recruit the "Medical Saint" Zhang Zhongjing, but they recruited Zhang Zhongjing's master's close friend.

If he remembered correctly: That guy Zhang Chu...cough!It's Mr. Zhang Chu, who is Zhang Zhongjing's medical teacher!
What a coincidence!
After stroking his palms, Liu Bian said: "I am also grateful to the old gentleman! Without the old gentleman's guidance, I am afraid that Bohai County would be in danger!"

"Your Highness is so complimentary." The old man waved his hand calmly, "Your Highness's top priority should be to buy more cinnamon twigs and peony. You can go to Youzhou to buy these two medicinal materials!"

"I have written it down." Liu Bian bowed to the old man, "Thank you very much!"
