Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 285

Ignoring the others for the time being, Lu Youda's daughter-in-law Julan and their little daughter were trembling with fear, their eyes opened in horror, and their pupils were dilated.

If the people who were suffering were not their close relatives, they would have been so frightened that they would have run away.

But precisely because of this, their faces were filled with fear, but they could not abandon their loved ones. They could only stand there helplessly, like a small boat in a violent storm, their bodies were shaky and might collapse to the ground at any time.

A trace of unbearability flashed in Wang Chengzhou's eyes, and he said sternly:
"What the hell, don't talk nonsense!"

"Village Chief Lu is not possessed by an evil spirit, this is a disease! It is caused by the accumulation of phlegm in the yang points, causing the yang qi of the Yangming meridian to become hyperactive, causing mania!"

"If the yin is not stronger than the yang, the pulse will be thin and rapid, and it will be crazy!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but with the facts before their eyes, everyone really couldn't believe what he said.

The old men who went to get torches trembled and said:
"Little sir, if you have anything to say, just say it. We can accept it. It's not like a few years ago, and we will never report you."

"That's right, little sir. You said Da Lu is not possessed by any evil spirit, but why is he so afraid of fire?"

"Also, if there is nothing evil here, why can you immobilize Dalu just by knocking on the wooden stick?"

Wang Chengzhou was helpless for a moment. If he wanted to cure Chief Lu Youda, he needed the help of people in the village. If he didn't convince them, it would be very troublesome to treat him by himself.

So, he patiently explained:
"Actually, what the doctor said before was not wrong. The madness of your village chief Lu was indeed caused by phlegm disturbing the heart. However, he only saw the surface and did not delve into the depth."

"Lu Youda is caused by the accumulation of phlegm and dampness in the yang points, which leads the body's qi to merge with the yang, resulting in excessive yang qi in the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, which induces various signs of yang excess."

"There is a special discussion on this in "Suwen·Yangmingmai Jiepian"."

In order to convince everyone, he had to start dropping his book bag again:
"The emperor asked: If you have Yang Ming's pulse disease, evil people and fire, you will be wary and frightened when you hear the sound of wood, but the bells and drums are not moved. Why are you frightened when you hear the sound of wood? I would like to hear the reason."

"Qi Bo replied: Yang Ming is the pulse of the stomach. The stomach is the earth. Therefore, those who are frightened by the sound of wood mean that the earth hates the wood."

"The Emperor said: Good. Where is the evil fire?"

"Qi Bo said: Yangming governs the flesh, and its veins and blood Qi are strong. If there is an evil guest, it will be hot. If the heat is too severe, it will cause aversion to fire."

What does that mean?

That is to say, because of the madness caused by Zu Yangming's disease, he will be afraid of fire and the sound of wood knocking.

The fear of wood sounds is because the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming belongs to Yang earth, and wood overcomes earth, so this situation occurs.As for why there is a fear of fire, it is because when the evil guest is in the Yangming Meridian, it usually manifests as heat syndrome. A patient who sweats profusely and has a hot and dry body will instinctively be afraid of fire.

These things seem to be very evil and can be explained by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. There is nothing mysterious about them.

After his explanation, everyone seemed to be listening to a book from heaven. Their eyes widened and they no longer dared to disobey his words.

However, the doctors from those county hospitals scoffed.

Wood overpowers earth, fire overpowers metal, this meridians and that phlegm and dampness. According to the concept of modern medicine, if a person goes crazy, there must be something wrong with his brain.

What does neurological matters have to do with the stomach?
"That one, what you said is amazing, it really sounds like that, but the key is how to cure people!"

"I see that you came here empty-handed. Don't you want to rely on the secrets to recite the incantation, attract the divine light to protect the body, and directly enlighten Lu Youda?"

"Hahaha, if that's true, it would be a huge productivity revolution! From now on, everyone won't have to spend money on medicines to treat diseases. Wouldn't it be enough to just find a few traditional Chinese medicine doctors to perform rituals?"

Several people in white coats were sarcastic.

The reason is that, firstly, they have been influenced by modern medicine and do not believe in the treatment theory of traditional Chinese medicine; secondly, they were beaten and waited here all day, and finally they were let go. A village health worker with a dirty look stole the limelight. Where do they, regular doctors from the county hospital, put their face?

Hearing what they said, everyone looked at Wang Chengzhou with empty hands and was really stunned.

I remember that this man was riding a bicycle when he came here. He didn’t bring anything with him. Judging from his appearance, he must have come directly from the crop fields. He probably didn’t even have a pill in his trouser pocket. Did he really want to cure his illness with this method? ?

"Humph, you are really blind and blind!"

When Chen Weihong saw it, he quit, and instinctively began to defend him, "Wang Chengzhou has unparalleled medical skills. He always carries a pair of silver needles on his body. Just like the peerless swordsman in ancient times, he only needs a few needles to keep the medicine until the disease is cured." !”

Everyone was stunned and began to whisper.

I didn’t expect that the young gentleman in front of me was so young and knew so many things.I heard that people who really know acupuncture are really powerful. Deafness that has lasted for more than ten years can be cured with just a few needles.

It wouldn't be surprising if he knew acupuncture.

Unexpectedly, when he heard Chen Weihong boasting about himself, Wang Chengzhou felt embarrassed, touched his pocket, spread his hands and said, "I came in such a hurry, I forgot to bring the silver needle."

Chen Weihong almost choked because of him, her face became hot, and she said angrily: "Wang Chengzhou, what are you doing? Didn't you promise that the needle will never leave your body?"

"Ahem, I'm squatting in the ground digging sweet potatoes. I have a needle in my pocket. Do you plan to prick yourself?"

Wang Chengzhou was speechless.

What he said about a peerless swordsman, he said casually, but he took it seriously...

This time, everyone was stunned.

"What should I do?"

Chen Weihong squeezed forward and lowered her voice.

"It's easy."

Wang Chengzhou looked at Lu Youda who was lying on the ground, still glaring at him fiercely, smiled unpredictablely, and ordered:
"Go and find someone to pull the wheel, along with a shovel and a bundle of rope."

"Auntie, do you have bedding at home?"

"Everyone, hurry up, I want to use it right away!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.Pulling the wheel, shovel, rope... What are you doing?

I have never heard of any doctor who needs these weird gadgets to treat illnesses and save lives!

"Listen to this little gentleman and go quickly!"

However, Aunt Xu trusted him very much and immediately shouted: "My child, there are beddings in the room, I will carry them to you now."

In fact, not to mention a bunch of villagers, even the regular doctors from the county hospitals couldn't understand what he was going to do.

"Okay, just dig a hole in the center of the yard, stand up the wheel and bury it in it, leaving only one end exposed."

The torch crackled and burned, Wang Chengzhou's face fluctuated with light and dark, and he commanded calmly:
"Fold the quilt and spread it on the wheel."

"You guys, lift Lu Youda up and tie him face down to the wheel of the car."

"Pick two people, stand far away with wooden sticks, and drag Lu Youda around in circles for me."

Everyone can't understand it even more.However, as he described it, a strange picture naturally appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Fuck you, mother, I don't accept it!"

"I am number one in the world, who dares to kill me?"

"Where did you come from, little beast? If you dare, let me go and fight Zhang Yide for three hundred rounds!"

How dare you insult yourself.

Wang Chengzhou's face turned cold and he scolded:
"Tie me up quickly!"

"Pull him around in circles, and you won't stop until I tell you to stop!"

"You like to curse people, don't you? I'll let you curse as much as you want today!"

Everyone's nerves were numb, so they quickly followed his instructions and tied up Lu Youda, letting him talk filthy words and spin around quickly.

round...

two laps...

One hundred laps...

A thousand laps...

At first, Lu Youda started to curse, and his voice resounded through the night sky. It was estimated that half of the villagers heard it, and many people gathered outside the yard to watch the fun.

Seeing them tormenting the village chief like this, I was shocked and angry, but combined with the vicious curses and the weird scene in front of me, I found it very funny.

I don’t know where this clever ghost was invited from, and he came to the house to cause trouble to Village Chief Lu.

He said in his heart, people are so stupid, and the whole family is about to be scattered, why would you bring such an unreliable person into your home?

But as he went around in circles, Lu Youda gradually couldn't curse anymore.

Even a donkey would become dizzy if it turned so many circles without blindfolding, let alone a human being?

vomit!
After only a hundred laps, Lu Youda no longer bothered to curse, he opened his mouth wide and spit out a mouthful of dirty stuff.

Everyone was shocked, and then they understood the meaning behind the young gentleman telling them to stay away, and they couldn't help but feel grateful.If this thing gets too close, why wouldn't it be spitted all over?

vomit!
After hundreds of laps, Lu Youda could no longer spit out anything else. A stream of green-yellow saliva poured out and followed the centrifugal force and spread around the wheel several times.

Everyone's scalps were numb when they saw it, and Lu Youda vomited out half a basin of the disgusting phlegm-like stuff.

vomit!
After a thousand rounds, Lu Youda couldn't vomit anymore. He opened his mouth and just retched.At this moment, let alone cursing, he almost ran out of energy to breathe. He lay on the wheel of the car and twitched for a while, groaning: "I can't stand it anymore, please put me down quickly."

Although the sound was subtle, it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears, making everyone stunned.

"Son... son?"

Mrs. Xu held her breath, walked forward tremblingly, and said in disbelief: "Da Lu, you...you..."

"Mom, I really can't stand it anymore. If I keep going, I'll have to meet the King of Hell."

Lu Youda gasped and begged: "Please let me down quickly."

"Son, do you recognize your mother again?!"

Mrs. Xu stumbled and almost sat on the ground, hugging her chest and crying with joy.

"stop!"

Wang Chengzhou waved his hand, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Only then did everyone realize that their village chief, Comrade Lu Youda, had really been cured by the strange little gentleman in front of him!
You know, before, Lu Youda didn't recognize anyone at all. He would scold someone when he opened his mouth and hit someone when he raised his hand, no matter how close or distant he was. He was a real fool.

Now, just look at him and it will be fine!

The crowd boiled.

However, in their excitement, everyone scratched their heads and looked at Wang Chengzhou as if they had seen a ghost.

What kind of cure is this, tied to a wheel and driven around in circles?
