Chapter 22 New Drugs
Lin Qingdai stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Catcher, the doctor is right. When you ask for medicine, you must first have a word of faith. Only if you believe in the doctor's medical skills and can follow the doctor's requirements, can the medicine be cured. If you don't believe in the doctor's medical skills , I don't think any doctor will prescribe any medicine.

Dr. Du was invited by our Wuweitang. Naturally, it is inconvenient for me to boast about his medical skills. I think the two of you can ask the patients who have been treated by him. "

"Who did he kill?"

"Dr. Du is new here. In the county, not many people have been treated by him. Except for the clerk who brought you here, he is the child of a poor woman in the inn opposite, and there are some inn peddlers and pawns." , and then there is your Second Mistress of County Captain Pang."

Sun Xiaosan and Lei Butou glanced at each other, and Lei Butou asked:
"I heard that this second grandmother is suffering from an incurable disease. Has he really been treated by the county captain's second grandmother?"

"Of course!" A girl's voice came from outside the door, but it was Xue Fei'er who came in.

"Your Second Grandma Wei of Pang County is in a critical condition. Even Jishitang's money will not be collected, and the famous doctors in the prefecture city are determined to die, and they assert that they will not survive last night. After being treated by Dr. Du, not only did they pass last night safely, but they have just been able to recover on their own. After drinking the medicine, I can still talk!"

"is it?"

"Of course, where did I come from just now, why don't we go and have a look together?"

Lei Butou knew Xue Fei'er, and knew that she was the daughter of shopkeeper Song of the Hengxiang Inn. If she said so, there would be no doubts.

It is now confirmed that Du Wenhao is treating the concubine's concubine of the county captain, and such a person should not be offended.

Busily got up and bowed deeply to Du Wenhao:
"Sir, Lei was offended just now. It turns out that Mr. is so good at medicine, I thought it was... Hehe, I'm really sorry! Lei is a rough man, he doesn't know how to behave, and offended Mr., here is my apology!"

Du Wenhao just clasped his fists in return, but did not speak.

Butou Lei knew that he was still angry, so he bowed deeply again, this time bending his waist to ninety degrees:
"Doctor Du, what you said about Lei's symptoms just now is absolutely correct. My injury was caused when I was arresting a gangster a few months ago. Yan Miaoshou of Jishitang applied the medicine for the bruises on me and said I was fine. I really thought it was all right, and I thought it was cured.

Unexpectedly, after a period of time, the injury flared up, and the pain was unbearable. He found Yan Miao, but he couldn't do anything, and the pain became more severe these days.

Today I heard from Xu Liang that you have good medical skills and you are a new doctor, so I want to come and have a look.

I didn't expect that he was really a genius doctor, it was really lucky for Lei Mou.Please forgive me for the offense I said earlier! "

When Du Wenhao heard this, he hurriedly stood up and saluted:
"Disrespect, disrespect, it turns out that Lei Butou was injured on duty. Please sit down!"

Lei Butou said a few polite words before sitting down.

Du Wenhao picked up a pen and wrote a prescription, picked it up and said:

"Catching the head's disease is due to the delay of qi and blood coagulation. It is necessary to promote blood circulation and remove stasis, soften the hard masses, relax the muscles and unblock the collaterals. This is the prescription. Find a prescription and grab the medicine. It will be cured in a few days. Please rest assured."

"Thank you! I will decoct it when I get back." Lei Butou reached out to take the prescription.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. These medicines are not for you to decoct. They are for fumigation."

"Fumigation?"

"Yes, use two catties of white wine, add one or two tablespoons of vinegar, decoct in water, fumigate and wash the affected elbow, twice a day, for one stick of incense each time."

Du Wenhao wrote another prescription:
"The medicine of this prescription is decocted and applied externally. When applying it, you should knead and massage the affected area. Remember, you must not use too much force at the beginning. It is better to be light than heavy! I will teach you how to massage. Go back and teach Madam Zun to let her massage for you , this method should be remembered, don’t mess around, otherwise it will increase the pain.”

Lei Butou nodded repeatedly, rolled up his sleeves, and saw that his elbow was swollen and deformed. Du Wenhao taught him how to massage, and Lei Butou remembered it.

Du Wenhao wrote another prescription and said: "This prescription is for oral administration, and the decoction method is a bit special, you have to remember it."

"Okay, please tell me, sir."

"Find a raw chicken that weighs one catty, don't bled it, remove the hair, head and feet, wash it with white wine, remember not to wash it with water.

Then chop the herbs Didantou, Shanbaizhi, Chuanbeimu, Fapinxia, ​​Xiangfu, Panax notoginseng, and ginger, and put them into the chicken belly.

Then put it in a clay cup, soak it in double cooking wine, cover it and simmer for three hours, take it out, and eat it on an empty stomach.

These prescriptions are clearly written. "

"This method is novel! I remember it." Lei Butou laughed.

"Okay, finished talking, let's go pick up medicine."

The catcher Sun Xiaosan hurriedly took the prescription for the catcher and ran to the counter to pick up the medicine.

Lei Butou said, "Thank you sir."

He took out a sling of copper coins from his pocket and put it on the table: "Please accept the consultation fee, sir. There will be a big thank you after the cure."

Du Wenhao smiled slightly, and pushed the hanging copper coin back:
"If it is an ordinary illness, it is natural to charge a consultation fee, but the head arrester was injured for the purpose of catching thieves and keeping the party safe.

If he accepts the consultation fee from the head arrester, he will be scolded by others.

In the future, when the brothers in the yamen were injured on duty, they would come to see me for medical treatment, and I would not take a penny for this. "

Lei Butou stared at Du Wenhao for a moment, looked up to the sky and laughed, reached out and patted Du Wenhao's shoulder: "Okay! Doctor Du is upright and forthright, very much to Lei's appetite, you are my friend!"

He stuffed the hanging copper coin back into his bosom.

"Thank you for the captor."

At this time, Wu Cong, the drug picker, got out of the counter, came over with the three prescriptions, and said to Du Wenhao:
"Sir, how many medicines are on your prescription, hehe, I don't know the little ones, and there are none on the medicine cabinet."

"Oh? How many herbs?"

"Spathiphyllum, Panax notoginseng, camphor."

Du Wenhao was slightly taken aback, and immediately remembered that these medicines were new herbs that only appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Song Dynasty hadn't realized the medicinal uses of these medicines at the time, so they moved away from Panax notoginseng and changed it to Qiancao .

After thinking about it, I felt it was wrong, because Panax notoginseng has the effect of stopping bleeding without leaving blood stasis, removing blood stasis and not hurting the body. It is the first choice medicine for treating congestion and various diseases, and it is indispensable in traumatology.

Although other medicines such as Qiancao and Puhuang also have the effect of stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis, they are not as effective as Panax notoginseng.

If this medicine is missing, the curative effect will be greatly reduced.

These three herbs are not rare medicinal materials, they are easy to find, there are green hills outside the city, if you can’t, go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Du Wenhao stuffed the prescription into his arms, and said to Lei Butou: "There are no three herbs in the medicine hall. Anyway, your injury is not in a hurry. I will prepare it for you after I find all the ingredients and send it to your house." .”

Lei Butou thanked him repeatedly.

Du Wenhao also treated several other people, all of whom were suffering from headaches and brain fever, which were easy to deal with.It's all over soon.

After Lei Butou and others left, Wuweitang became quiet again.

After waiting for a while, no patients came, so Du Wenhao decided to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Since we have to go up the mountain to collect herbs, we must of course collect all the missing herbs.

Du Wenhao walked to the medicine cabinet and carefully looked at the medicines on the medicine cabinet.

He couldn't remember which medicines were new medicines that appeared after the Song Dynasty, so he had to see what medicines were available now. If there were no commonly used medicines, they should have appeared after that.

After reading it, Du Wenhao said to Lin Qingdai:
"Shopkeeper, I don't think there will be any patients coming to see the doctor today. I'm going to go up the mountain to gather some herbs. We don't have the medicine for Lei Butou's injury on the cabinet, so I have to pick it myself."

Xue Feier wondered: "Wuweitang still has a complete range of medicines. What medicines are there? Why don't you send someone to Fucheng to buy them? That's the distribution center for medicinal materials. I'm sure you can find the medicines you need."

Du Wenhao smiled, shook his head and said, "If you can't buy this medicine, you must take it."

Lin Qingdai said: "I'll go with you."

"No, you still have to take care of the business in the hall."

Lin Qingdai smiled wryly and said, "The business in the hall is so slow now, do you still need special care?"

"That being said, Yingzi is right. Regardless of whether there are customers or not, one must open the store seriously. Only when people look at the spirit can they come to patronize. If they are lazy because the business is not good, others will come if they want to come. , I don’t even want to enter the door.”

Lin Qingdai smiled lightly:
"I taught them this, but now you are using it to teach me. Yes, you are right. Then I will stay. But if you go alone, what if there is danger? Why don't you bring a buddy go?"

Xue Fei'er interjected: "No need buddy, I'll go! Anyway, I'm fine, I'll go with Du Langzhong. I can deal with little thieves by myself!"

Du Wenhao looked Xue Feier up and down: "You also know martial arts?"

"Of course!" Xue Fei'er stretched her posture, punched her fists and kicks, but she was loud and imposing, she put her posture back, raised her pretty face, and asked Du Wenhao, "How is it?"

"Well! It's pretty."

Xue Fei'er stared at her almond-shaped eyes: "What? You say I have fists and embroidered legs?"

"No, no, I don't know martial arts. I'm just a layman. Laymen watch the excitement. It really depends on how good the martial arts are. Shopkeeper Lin has the final say. She is an expert."

Lin Qingdai smiled and said, "Fei'er's martial arts are very good."

"How is it?" Xue Fei'er was complacent.

"Well, thank you very much! Let's go, it's getting late."

Lin Qingdai ordered Wu Cong and Shapang to prepare two medicine hoes, two medicine baskets, some dry food and water for them.Old Wangtou, who was doing odd jobs in the hall, pulled out an ox cart from the backyard and drove them to the outside of the city.

The two sat in the bullock cart, staggered and slowly got out of the city. After wandering for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of the lush Feiling Mountain outside the city.
