Private beauty care doctor

I got up in the morning, washed my face, and ate the pork bone stewed sauerkraut and sticky rice noodle potstickers made by my aunt.

At six o'clock, right on time, Shan Gouzi drove a horse-drawn sledge over.

We each took our belongings, and I borrowed a sickle from my aunt's house, got on the sledge, and left.

It was very cloudy, and Shan Gouzi said that it would snow heavily that day.

So we have to hurry.

Fortunately, the weather was not very cold when it snowed, and there was basically no wind, so we went very smoothly along the way.

At ten o'clock in the morning, we came to the foot of a mountain.

The mountain dog settled the horse in a small pine forest, led us, waded into the knee-high snow nest, and walked towards the mountain step by step.

Not much to say about the hardships along the way.

Anyway, Xiao Xian'er was the first to shout that she couldn't move, she wasn't pretending, she really couldn't move.

Walking in the snow is not as difficult as dry land. Those who have never tried it are really unimaginable.

As a result, Shan Gouzi carried Xiao Xian'er on his back and continued walking.

An hour later, Xiaorou couldn't stand it anymore.

No way, I carried Xiaorou on my back, carried the Queen, and staggered forward in the snow.

At noon, we found a valley at random, got some baked potatoes, took a bite of the bacon that my aunt had packed, and continued on our way.

Walking on the road, I felt that without mountain dogs, it would be impossible for us to enter the hinterland of this mountain blocked by heavy snow.

But even with Shangouzi leading the way, we were still three hours later than expected, and we didn't arrive at Luobalingzi until 04:30 in the afternoon.

Luobalingzi.

It is a very steep Shanlazi (that is, a cliff full of stones.)

Shan Gouzi led us to stand under the ridge, pointed to the tall Shanlazi and said: "Brother Ji, look at the crack in the rock up there, which is as wide as a person, and there is a hole in it, it's so big. It's full of bats and stuff. Plus..."

Shan Gouzi gasped and said: "Put this mountain behind, turn over, there are several exits, and they are also caves. There are karst caves and underground rivers in them. A few years ago, some inspectors came and said they would develop them. Tourist area, but people came, went in and took a look, and said that the environment in the cave was too complicated to be suitable for tourism, so they all left."

I raised my head, squinted my eyes, and looked at the Shanlazi, which was 60 meters high.From my angle, I can't see the cracks in the stone that Shan Gouzi said.Therefore, it is impossible to judge whether Fan Jinnan is on the mountain or not.

Xiao Xian'er, sitting in the snow at this time, clasped her hands into a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly: "Dad...Dad...I'm coming,...where are you?"

Xiao Rou also shouted: "Master, Master..."

I shouted: "Lao Fan, Lao Fan..."

Shan Gouzi also shouted: "Brother, are you still alive? Alive, squeak, your daughter is here to find you!"

Suddenly, just as we focused our attention on Shilazi and roared loudly.

Behind us, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Cough! What are you shouting for! I'm here."

After hearing this movement, my eyes lit up, and I turned around abruptly to take a look.

Ay Ya I gi!

I saw a head poking out from under a big snow-like bun, which seemed to be natural.

Gradually, there are two arms, the upper half of the body, the waist, and the two legs.

In the end, the man got out, slapped the snow on the thick winter clothes twice, stood still, smiled, squinted, and looked at me with joy.

Xiao Xian'er cheered.

"dad!"

In an instant, like a cheerful bird, he jumped into the opponent's arms.

Xiaorou didn't move, just stood there, with tears in her eyes, and murmured: "Master...Master, why did you come here? You...are you hiding from me?"

I crossed my arms, smiled, looked at Lao Fan and said, "Brother Fan, are you going to be born to practice or to cultivate immortality, why did you come to such a place?"

Lao Fan laughed, pointed at me and said, "You! I'll be there for you guys. Come... all of you come and sit here."

While talking, Lao Fan'er scratched the snow bag a few times, revealing a hole for one person to enter.

I approached and bent over to have a look.

There is nothing wrong with this place.

It turned out that Lao Faner first piled up a huge snow bag with the snow in the mountains, and then used the military shovel he brought with him to make the snow bag solid, and then poured the snow water that had been melted by fire on it.Wait until the outermost layer of the snow pack freezes into an ice shell.Then hollow out the inside to make a snow house similar to a tent.

Here, there are professional polar sleeping bags, small blankets, and other items, all available.

With curiosity, we got into the snow bag.

Everyone sit down.

I couldn't wait to ask Lao Faner: "You bastard, where did this come from?"

Old Fan laughed aloud, and then turned serious: "Collect specimens, prevent epidemics, and perform the bounden duty of a doctor!"

Among the people present, except Shan Gouzi, who is an authentic mountain man and does not understand medical theory.

I, the queen, Xiao Rou, and Xiao Xian'er were all taken aback when they heard this sentence.

In no time, we all understood!

What is epidemic?

In modern terms, it is an infectious disease.

How terrible are infectious diseases?

Among other things, let's just talk about the recent "sars**" (I have friends around me who died in this disaster.) Its ferocity and severity far exceed the imagination of each of us.

Under normal circumstances, similar to cholera, plague and other types of infectious diseases.Since there are already advanced treatment plans and control methods, basically as long as the source of infection is found, it can be extinguished immediately and the development of the epidemic can be controlled within a few days.

But the epidemic is different.

When the epidemic comes aggressively, it is often a variant of a certain virus, and most of it is transmitted through the respiratory tract, making it hard to guard against.

Moreover, in the early stage of the disease, there is no cure at all.The fate accepted by the patient, there is no other way to go except death.

Recently, and from the end of March to mid-April 2009, influenza A virus outbreaks broke out in Mexico, the United States and other places one after another. Then, this virus was quickly dubbed "swine flu" by people.

Far away, the most terrifying epidemic outbreak in human history was the Spanish flu pandemic that swept the world in 1918.

The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic infected an estimated 10 billion people worldwide and killed nearly 4000 million people.

It is no exaggeration to say that every outbreak of an epidemic is a heinous massacre by God against human beings.

This……

It is a huge disaster that cannot be imagined at all!

I suddenly heard the word 'epidemic', and I hurriedly asked Lao Faner: "Could there be another outbreak?"

Lao Fan shook his head and said: "Of course there is no epidemic now, but what I do is a job that cannot be understood by others, nor can it be made public, and is extremely dangerous..."

I thought about it, and I suddenly remembered a sentence my grandfather mentioned. That sentence was said by a friend of my grandfather. The original words are as follows.

"Heaven and earth are selfless and trustworthy, and the four seasons do not violate it. People have selfish greed and break their trust. They violate the time, violate the laws of heaven and earth, and move against the law of heaven and earth. If they are chaotic, the qi mechanism will be disordered in the body, and they will be susceptible to the disease and evil qi for a while. .”

To put it simply, it is when human activities violate the normal order of heaven and earth.

The epidemic broke out.

So what is Lao Fan's job?

At this moment, Lao Faner spoke: "Hey, this epidemic. In ancient times, Senior Zhang Zhongjing exhausted his whole life and wrote Treatise on Febrile Diseases and other works handed down from generation to generation. But in the later period, Zhang Zhongjing discovered that in order to get rid of the epidemic, there is no need to On the one hand, we have to absorb Taoist thought and use Taoist techniques to deduce the many phenomena generated when the four seasons of the world and the six climates of the world intersect with the changes in human social activities, so as to finally determine where the root of the epidemic comes from.”

"Thus, generation after generation of senior Taoist doctors began to engage in this unknown and unknown work. Fortunately, in ancient times, many people worshiped Taoism, and when Taoist doctors practiced this, they were often supported by local governments and Funding from the rich. But now, especially in China..."

Lao Fan smiled and said: "Now, how many Chinese people know Taoist medicine? I'm afraid that if you talk about it, you will be labeled as a feudal superstition."

We nodded together, indicating that people only know Chinese medicine, and few people know Taoist medicine.

Lao Fan also said: "In the 60s, the crazy movement in China completely destroyed the foundation of Taoism. Fortunately, at that time, there were many insightful people who secretly engaged in relationships and escorted several groups of senior Taoists to leave the country and go to various parts of the world. , like sprinkling fire, all scattered."

"These people have never forgotten that they are the inheritors of Taoism. They have done business abroad, used their understanding of Tao, earned a huge amount of wealth, and eventually formed an unbreakable group."

My heart moved, and I quickly asked, "What's the name of this group?"

Lao Fan smiled: "Famous and unknown. I don't know about this. Moreover, I also gave the word group. I don't know what kind of way people exist. Guess, You can only use the word group instead."

Lao Fan said: "When they are abroad, they practice Taoist medicine. Moreover, they always pay attention to domestic trends and use their own techniques to deduce the changes in the four seasons and six climates of the world. Then, according to the geographical characteristics of different regions, Do some early warning of the outbreak of the epidemic.”

I said, "This is a good thing, why not cooperate with the health department?"

Lao Fan smiled, took out an ipad from his mountaineering bag, turned it on, and pulled out a paper and said: "Look, this is a senior Taoist doctor who tried his best to use the Chinese medicine point of view, that is, the theory of yin and yang and six evils, combined Huangdi Neijing, Treatise on Epidemic Analysis written by Treatise on Febrile Diseases. I was asked to hand it over to an official of a certain department. But it was handed in, and it was quickly returned to me.”

I asked: "Why?"

Lao Faner: "People have said that this is a feudal superstition, a metaphysics of ghosts and gods. Hahaha!"

Lao Fan raised his head and let out a series of miserable laughter...

"They say it's the metaphysics of ghosts and gods, but they secretly go to temples to burn incense and pray for gods, praying for prosperous official career and full of money. Also, look at this land of China, the giant Buddha standing everywhere...they want that money, how much money?" Take out [-]% and devote it to the cause of Daoist medicine, and the country...is really a waste of talent."

Lao Faner sighed and said: "Ten years ago, through the relationship of my master, I got acquainted with digital Taoist doctors in England. After returning to China, they entrusted me with a task, asking me to conduct field investigations based on the results of their deduction and prediction. Try to discover and find the original pathogen before the outbreak, and then collect a certain number of pathogens before handing them over to them. They will send out the epidemic report through the Western medical community, and notify the relevant domestic departments as soon as possible.”

I smiled wryly: "My own Taoist doctors don't use it. On the contrary, other people's Western things are used as treasures. In the end, I didn't expect it to be the result of our Taoist doctors' calculations."

Lao Fan shook his head helplessly: "Yes, that's the situation. In the past ten years, I have gone out countless times and collected countless specimens, some of which are in line with the prediction results of the deduction, and some of which have nothing to do with the results. In conclusion, this prediction The accuracy is only one-tenth."

After finishing speaking, Lao Fan said indifferently: "Even one tenth is still very precious. Because once a pathogen can be identified and a treatment plan can be developed in a short period of time, no matter how dangerous it is, it will be worth it!"

I said: "It's worth it! This risk is indeed worth taking!"

Lao Faner then told me that he has been to this place three times.But every time I get lost in the cave.Finally had to return without success.This time, he planned to take a more dangerous path to the interior of the mountain.Considering the possibility of great danger, there was such a message for Xiaoxian'er.

I asked Lao Faner: "Why did you choose to come out in this season? The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the roads are difficult to walk."

Lao Fan said: "Time waits for no one. According to the instructions I received before and the results of my personal calculations, there are still three days before this pathogen will develop and take shape. At that time, if you intervene again, it will be troublesome. "

I thought for a while and asked, "Brother Fan, what do you think is the pathogen in this place?"

Lao Fan rubbed his hands and said: "I have analyzed it. The most likely thing is the bats here. You haven't seen that hole. You'll know it when you go in. There are too many. Bats go everywhere, and the virus is carried and spread." Moreover, in my hexagram deduction, it also shows that this pathogen has a lot to do with bats."

The queen suddenly said: "That's easy to do, just put some gasoline and a fire, and burn all the bats inside, and it's over."

Lao Fan smiled and pointed at the Queen: "Western medicine, is it Western medicine?"

The queen bowed her head in embarrassment and said, "Xiwai..."

Lao Faner haha: "Well, it's not correct to use Western medicine thinking. You burn it, so you can guarantee that the epidemic will not appear? In addition, the area where the epidemic occurred is definitely not here. Many epidemics have shown that the source of the disease Appeared in one place, and the outbreak was in another place."

Lao Faner said: "For example, a bat here carries a pathogen, and then bites a chicken here. The chicken is sick and is sent to the market to sell. A restaurant is cheap and buys it for cooking. I ordered a small chicken stewed with mushrooms, and two Shanghainese ate it. After that, the next day, I took a car to the provincial capital and flew back to Shanghai. As a result, on the fifth day, I fell ill in Shanghai."

"In addition, it may be two people from Hebei and two people from other places. In short, people from anywhere are possible. After eating, after the incubation period, they get sick. This often confuses medical workers. I don't know, this virus , Where did it come from. Especially with the addition of some viruses with a long incubation period, which have an incubation period of dozens of days, it is even more impossible to inquire."

When I heard this, I felt a chill down my back.

This thing really kills people invisible.

In the end, Lao Faner said again: "Collecting specimens is one aspect of epidemics. The most important thing is to eradicate the root causes of epidemics. This is what Taoist medicine really needs to do."

Knowing this, I completely understand.This is an action that will not be recognized by the mainstream, and it is an action that is between science and metaphysics.And, it's a dangerous move.

So, I turned my head and said to the three girls: "In a moment, you guys go back with Shan Gouzi, Brother Fan and I stay here."

The three girls shouted in unison!

"Don't look down on women! Can you do it!"

Lao Faner smiled, waved his hand and said, "Today, if you can come here and find me, it's because of fate. Everything in the future, let it take its course."
