Chapter 337 The Debate Between Cold and Heat
Du Wenhao frowned, and wanted to say something to her, but he held back.The man didn't understand what Dengtuzi was, and stood there in a daze.

Ke Yao cast a disdainful glance at the man, tossed his head, and the last two wisps of black hair floated up gently, passing over the tip of the man's nose.

Du Wenhao said to the man: "What's wrong with your mother? What's wrong?"

The man didn't turn his eyes away from Ke Yao, and said casually: "My mother was cooking in the kitchen a few days ago, and she suddenly complained that she didn't feel well, and she couldn't get up the next day. She asked the doctor in the village to take a look. But who would have thought that it would be better if I didn’t look at it, after seeing a disease and taking medicine, I couldn’t speak, my lips were black and purple, and I passed out for some reason..."

"Oh, let's go quickly. Is your home far from this road? If it is far, let's take a carriage."

The man was still staring at Ke Yao in a daze, Du Wenhao had no choice but to repeat it loudly, but the man still stared at Ke Yao in a daze and didn't recover.

Ke Yao walked up to the man with a smile, and said softly, "Brother, are you married yet?"

The man stammered and replied, "It's...it's done."

Ke Yao's pretty face immediately stiffened, and he snapped, "Then why are you staring at me stupidly? Your wife is not enough for you? My brother is asking you something! Disgusting? Hey! What about you! Deaf?—Still seeing? Watch your eyeballs fall out!"

Du Wenhao finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Ke Yao, "Be careful what you say!"

"What's wrong? Am I right?"

Du Wenhao lowered his voice and said: "You are beautiful, it is normal for people to look at you a few times, or even look dumbfounded. In a sense, it is also your pride. Little girl, don't be so domineering."

Ke Yao was happy when Du Wenhao said she was beautiful, and glanced at him: "Okay! You are brother, just follow your orders!"

Du Wenhao was stunned. Even in modern times, few girls would be so hot, not to mention in ancient times, the man was startled too, afraid to speak.

Ke Yao changed his smiling face and glanced at the man, sweetly said: "Hey! Brother, is your mother really sick? It's really a sudden illness. Why are you not in a hurry and just staring at me in a daze?"

When the man heard this, he immediately woke up as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and said repeatedly: "That's right! My mother is still sick in bed! She is dying, my lord doctor, please go and save my mother! "

Ke Yao hurriedly said: "My brother just asked you something, is your home far or near? Do you need us to send a car?"

"It's not far, it's not far, it'll be an hour's walk away."

Ke Yao's almond eyes widened: "It's not too far to come to Shichen? You want me to suffer from heatstroke in such a hot day?"

Du Wenhao smiled wryly, turned to Li Pu and said, "Let's prepare the carriage!"

"Yes!" Li Pu ran to the stable, quickly harnessed the carriage with a few guards, and drove out from the backyard.

Du Wenhao got into the carriage, and Ke Yao followed into the carriage. They all looked inside the carriage embarrassedly, hesitated, Du Wenhao said: "Hurry up, get in the carriage, illness waits for no one!"

The man hurriedly agreed, but still didn't dare to go up, climbed up next to the handlebar and sat with Li Pu who was driving the car.

Li Pu drove the carriage, followed by several guards on horseback, all the way out of the city.The direction of walking is Mount Emei.

Speeding up the horse, they soon arrived at the small village where the man and the others lived.This small village is at the foot of Mount Emei.

Du Wenhao said to Li Pu: "This is really a coincidence. You should send someone back to inform them that they can come. I will wait for them at the foot of the mountain after I finish my treatment."

Li Pu agreed, and sent a guard back to inform him.

The man's name was Zhao San, and he led Du Wenhao and Ke Yao to a pond, and there was a small courtyard beside it.Lao Yuan shouted: "Mom! How are you doing, Ma'am? I've invited the Royal Physician!"

Zhao San hurriedly got out of the car and ran to push the chaimen open. A big yellow dog at the door saw the stranger and immediately barked.

"Rhubarb shut up!" Zhao San yelled, the dog listened, and went into its den with its tail between its legs.

At this time, a young woman came out from a room on the east side. She wore a blue cloth dress with a scarf of the same color on her head. She was fairly handsome, but she was a little short. However, Du Wenhao knew that most women in Sichuan were good-looking but not tall. high.

"Sir, are you back?" Seeing many men coming behind Zhao San, the woman quickly lowered her head and retreated to the room.

Ke Yao said to Zhao San: "Your lady is pretty, why do you still have to look at Shu?"

Du Wenhao coughed lightly, Ke Yao didn't continue talking, and followed Du Wenhao into the east door.

As soon as Du Wenhao entered the door, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face. This day was already unbearable, but on the stove directly opposite, a pot of rice bran and wild vegetables was still boiling in a large pot. The blazing straw flames made a room steaming, making people feel like they were in a steamer.

Zhao San didn't realize it, went straight into the back room through the door curtain, and called mother.There was a mosquito net hanging on the bed, and no one answered inside the tent. When the curtain was lifted, the old mother was still lying under the quilt.

Du Wenhao and Ke Yao followed into the back room.

Zhao San's wife said to Zhao San: "Mother hasn't woken up yet, father is in a hurry, and took Bao'er to the county again, haven't you met?"

Du Wenhao signaled Zhao San and his wife to hang up the mosquito net, and then walked to the bed, only to see a middle-aged woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her face red.

Du Wenhao saw that the woman was covered with a thick quilt, and said to Zhao Sand: "Pick off the quilt!"

Zhao San's wife hurriedly said: "The doctor in the village said that my mother has a cold, and the cold must be forced out of the body to be cured."

Ke Yao said coldly: "Then you go ask the doctor in the village to take care of it. What do you want my brother to do?"

Zhao San glared at his daughter-in-law, and said with an apologetic smile: "Yes, listen to the doctor!" He hurriedly lifted the quilt from his mother.

Du Wenhao sat down and didn't ask any further questions. He took the old lady's wrist first, concentrated on examining her pulse, and then asked Zhao Sandao: "Lingci's disease...how did it occur?"

"It's very hot these days. My mother never lets us manage the kitchen. It's better to let us do something outside than in the kitchen. So my mother is busy with the kitchen, and my wife and I are doing odd jobs outside. Earn a little money. My daughter-in-law and I sat under the eaves to enjoy the cool that day, and the draft was very cool, and my mother sat at the kitchen door, wearing a small coat, saying it was very cool!"

Du Wenhao frowned and said: "Standing in front of the wind, the evil wind enters the body, I'm afraid it's very inappropriate for the old man."

Zhao Sandao: "That's right, but we didn't think about it at that time."

Du Wenhao said: "Just now I was standing at the door of the kitchen. The wind in that place is really strong, and there is a stove behind. It really hurts!"

"Yes! Thank you for your admonition, Sir Royal Physician."

Du Wenhao asked: "Where is the prescription prescribed by the doctor before?"

Zhao San's wife immediately took out a prescription from a small wooden box on a nearby table and handed it to Ke Yao respectfully, but was embarrassed to hand it directly to Du Wenhao.

Ke Yao glanced at it, but couldn't understand it, so he hurriedly handed it over to Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao also glanced at it, smiled, shook his head, and said to Ke Yao, "Do you think this prescription is safe?"

Ke Yao has only studied medicine for less than a month, but he usually works hard, reading books and reciting Fang Ge seriously.After looking at it, he rolled his eyes and said, "It should be a cold syndrome, right?! If you are hot and cold, you should use cold medicine!"

Du Wenhao smiled, noncommittal, and said to Zhao San: "Is there wine at home?"

Zhao San's wife quickly said yes.

Du Wenhao: "Go and heat up the wine and bring me a mirror."

Zhao San's wife hurried out, and Ke Yao asked suspiciously, "Brother, what are you doing with wine?"

Du Wenhao smiled but did not answer, and after a while Zhao San's wife came in with a bowl of hot wine and a mirror.

Du Wenhao said to Ke Yao: "The patient is an old woman. It is inconvenient to undress her to treat her disease. You can do it for me."

"But..., but I don't understand!"

"Listen to what I say, and you won't go wrong!"

After all, Du Wenhao leaned over and whispered in her ear for a long time.If Ke Yao couldn't understand, she asked him in a low voice, and Du Wenhao answered her again, so it took some effort.Finally, Ke Yao understood, so Du Wenhao waved his hands in satisfaction, went out, and chatted with Li Pu and the others in the yard.

Then Ke Yao stabbed: "Okay, I'll take a look at this medical record! ——I'm the younger sister of the imperial doctor Du, what's the matter, don't you agree? Hmph!"

The crowd waited for her to show off the imperial doctor's face, and whoever dared to say no, stepped back a few steps and looked at her helplessly.

But Ke Yao looked confident, first untied the woman's clothes, took a sip from the bowl of shochu, put the shochu in his mouth, raised his neck, and with a puff, sprayed it vigorously on the woman's chest .

Then put the mirror tightly on the woman's chest, and pat it lightly until the woman's chest was reddish. Then Zhao San's wife wiped the woman's chest with a clean cloth and put on her clothes. , and then went out to call Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao: "Next, I have asked Zhao San to pour some cool well water into the well, and then add honey to the water. You bring the water in, wet the chicken feathers in the water, and pry the woman open. mouth, stretch the feathers to the throat, and sweep back and forth.”

Ke Yao took the water and a chicken feather from Zhao San's hand, entered the room, and did as Du Wenhao said once. After a while, he heard a wow in the room. Du Wenhao lifted the curtain and looked around, and saw The woman lying on the bed was lying on the strings of the bed, bowing her head and vomiting, vomiting some filth from time to time.

After the woman vomited, she lay on the bed tiredly, looking at her son and daughter-in-law panting.

When Zhao San and his wife saw that their mother had woken up, they were all overwhelmed with surprise. They couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow to Du Wenhao to thank him.

Du Wenhao said: "Lingci's disease is not small, but it is not serious. Wait for me to decoct the medicine and take it, and it will be cured soon.

Ke Yao couldn't understand how Du Wenhao did it all the time, so he asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's wrong with her?"

Du Wenhao said: "In the dog days, the kitchen in their house is extremely hot. I heard from his son that at that time she took off her clothes to enjoy the cool, stood in the wind, and suffered from wind evil, so she had a headache, fever, aversion to cold and body pain. Tell me, what is the symptom? ?”

Ke Yao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Aversion to the cold and pain in the body, and chills in the body, it is naturally a cold syndrome!"

"Wrong!" Du Wenhao said with a serious face, "The doctor who treated the old woman earlier said that it was a cold syndrome, so he used Fuzi Lizhong Decoction. It seems that your problem is similar to that doctor!"

Ke Yao pouted and said, "Is Fuzi Lizhong Decoction not suitable?"

"Of course it's not right!" Du Wenhao sighed: "You, you are still far away from studying medicine!"

"If you don't teach me, of course I'm far behind. You're biased. You think about Sister Yuqin and the others all day, but you don't care about me! I want to study medicine with you, but you never give me any advice. If you are in a hurry, let me read medical books by myself. ——If I can understand all the medical books, why should I worry!"

Seeing Ke Yao's depressed face, Du Wenhao smiled: "Okay, don't be so sad, and be careful of getting old! Hehe, don't you just want to study medicine, I will teach you. However, studying medicine is really boring Yes, you have to be mentally prepared!"

"Definitely!" Ke Yao smiled with tears in his eyes.

"Okay! Take the medical case in front of me as an example. The old woman took off her clothes to enjoy the cool in the heat. She immediately had a headache and fever, aversion to cold and body pain. Although I didn't check the pulse and tongue at that time, I couldn't diagnose it. No breath, lips and mouth are bruised, this is the manifestation of Fang's symptoms!"

Ke Yao frowned and said, "Brother, the more you talk, the more profound it becomes. I can't even understand it. Can you explain it a little bit more clearly?"

"Okay, let me tell you, Xiayue's kitchen is extremely hot right now. The old woman must have been unable to take it anymore, so she went out to the door and said it was very cool. Unfortunately, standing in front of the wind, it is easy to violate the wind evil! It is very hot at first. It is like this inside and outside, it is summer heat, but when the wind rises, the evil nature of the wind is cold, and the body is cold, and the heat in the body is sealed and cannot be released. At this time, from the outside, it is a cold syndrome. In fact But it's hot evidence."

"Then what is cold syndrome and what is heat syndrome?"

"This...hehe, it's a bit troublesome. To put it simply, cold syndrome is caused by cold pathogens that injure the surface of the skin. In this case, it is called "typhoid fever". If it directly hits the internal organs, it is called "intermediate cold". Of course Cold syndrome not only comes from wind, but can also be combined with other evils to cause wind-cold, cold-damp, etc. Of course, the most important symptoms are very closely related to cold syndrome, such as exogenous cold pathogens, which affect the skin surface, camp and Wei The operation is not smooth, and the interstitial muscles are blocked. However, this old woman does not have a cold syndrome..."

"I know, she has a heat syndrome. That's the opposite of a cold syndrome."

"But it can't be completely equated. Chulue can understand it this way. Fuzi Lizhong Decoction is a medicine for warming the middle, and the old woman is originally a heat syndrome. It should be cool when it is hot, so as to relieve the heat, but now it has become a fire." Put oil on it, open the door and steal it, and lead the evil into the inside, so that it sinks in. The clear orifice is closed, and the body is already extremely hot, but now the heat is sealed and can't come out, so naturally the heat is extremely hot and faints."

"Then you were pretending to be a ghost just now, spraying water and shooting mirrors, what were you doing? Exorcising ghosts?"

"How can a doctor believe in ghosts and evil spirits? This is the method of external treatment, through heat opening and closing, clearing heat and dispelling heat, using both internal and external treatments, and the order is appropriate. Only then can we turn danger into safety!"
