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

Chapter 123 The Golden Needle Removes Obstacles
Of course, the happiest person is Yang Erlong.

The boy was stunned for a long time, then suddenly dropped the firewood stick and ran towards the house.

Thanks to Wang Chengzhou's quick eyesight and quick hands, he grabbed him and said seriously: "Aunt Liu's eye injury has not healed, so don't run into her house if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, it will cause infection and the consequences will be disastrous!"

Yang Erlong was stunned for a moment and said at a loss:
"Then, what should I do?"

"My mother has to go to the latrine to eat, right?"

"How can I take care of her if I can't come into the house?"

Wang Chengzhou said speechlessly:

"I just don't let you disturb her if you have something to do. It doesn't mean that you must not enter the house."

"These are the herbs I prepared for your mother later. Wait, cook them according to my instructions."

"Also, these are Atractylodes tablets. You smoke and disinfect them in the house regularly every day. After three days, Aunt Liu can remove the gauze and see the light again."

Yang Erlong took the thing with trembling palms and slurred, as if he was dumbfounded.

For a long time I couldn't think of what to say to express my gratitude.

The villagers who were watching were even more shocked. Unexpectedly, this little hygienist named Wang actually performed eye surgery on someone.

They couldn't help but stare at him one by one, as if they were looking at gods, with faces full of wonder.

"Wang Chengzhou."

Chen Weihong was so anxious that her face was red, and she was so curious that she felt like a little mouse crawling in her heart, but she was not sure whether she would offend him by asking.

After all, such powerful methods are generally exclusive secret techniques.

So, after shouting, I didn't know what to say further.

Seeing that everyone was so curious, Wang Chengzhou could only explain a few words casually:
"The conditions in our countryside are poor and cannot compare to the operating rooms in the city. We can only make do with the shabby and simplify all the procedures."

"For example, surgery must require anesthesia, but where do we have that kind of thing? Therefore, we can only use a cold towel to temporarily numb the nerves in the eyes and reduce the pressure in the eyeballs, and then use acupuncture to relieve Aunt Liu's pain. .”

"We don't even have surgical tools. We can only use silver needles to poke tiny holes in the eyeballs, and use one of the nine Huangdi needles to peel off the cataract."

"As for sterilization and disinfection, we can only rely on herbal medicine. Fortunately, Atractylodes in this regard surpasses many chemicals and even more advanced ultraviolet disinfection methods."

"This is the art of removing obstacles with a golden needle. In simple terms, the process is divided into: examining the machine, dotting the eye, shooting back, exploring the eye, disturbing the sea, rolling the blind, round mirror, and perfecting the jade. The eight methods of removing obstacles were first recorded by Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. in "Silver Sea Essence"."

After saying these words, Wang Chengzhou stopped talking.

It's not that he is cold, it's just that the whole process is too labor-intensive.

If it were my previous self, I would have been paralyzed from exhaustion as soon as I walked out of the room.

But it was these few words that shocked everyone.

For a moment, looking at Wang Chengzhou in the sun, I even felt that his whole body was glowing.

What the hell kind of fairy tale is this? !

Although there are only a few words, and most people can't understand them, the wisdom and determination shown in them are enough to move people.

For a moment, everyone was filled with unspeakable excitement.

However, they were all silent for fear of disturbing his rest.

Silently cheering.

Chen Weihong kept holding her hands together and spinning them back and forth.

He understands the hardships better than others, so he can naturally appreciate Wang Chengzhou's superb medical skills better.

Seeing him as excited as a donkey, kicking and spinning in circles, Wang Chengzhou shook his head helplessly, smiled and warned:
"Yang Erlong, the two medicines I gave you are cassia seeds and manjing seeds, as well as 5 liters of rice wine."

"You boil them in rice wine later, dry them in the sun, grind them into powder, and take half a spoon each time. It's a small spoon for drinking soup, not a rice spoon. Don't get me wrong."

"Wait a minute. Health nurse Chen will bring you some more medicinal powder. You can take it with water. Don't take too much at one time. Today, I have fulfilled my promise to you. It should be worthy of your golden pheasant."

After saying that, he stopped staying and left with Chen Weihong.

A group of young and old men from Yanggao Village were sent outside the village, looking at the backs of the two, and did not disperse for a long time.

They were still discussing with great interest the rare things that had opened everyone's eyes today.

Yang Erlong was wiping tears and his vision was blurred.

He is just straightforward and not a fool, so he naturally understands Wang Chengzhou's kindness to his mother and son.

Not to mention the extraordinary medical skills, just two medicines and 5 liters of wine cannot be exchanged for a pheasant.

Involuntarily, I secretly made up my mind.

When others treat me so sincerely, I cannot let them suffer under any circumstances!

"Hahaha!"

Chen Weihong was walking on the road, and suddenly, she giggled inexplicably.

He grinned like he had eaten farts.

Wang Chengzhou rolled his eyes and looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Noticing his gaze, Chen Weihong proudly clasped her hands behind her back and let out a sigh of relief, "It's okay, I just thought of some happy things."

"Wang Chengzhou, tell me, if you come to the county seat in the future, will you be able to slap those proud people in the county hospital in the face?"

"I can't help but be happy when I think of your skills that amaze everyone and put those people to shame!"

Wang Chengzhou was even more speechless.

With a surprised face, he said:

"Why do I do those boring things?"

"No, are you seriously ill? The symptoms of sexual immorality are so severe!"

"First of all, I am quite comfortable in this small valley. Why do I have to go to the city to quarrel with others? Secondly, we learn medical skills to treat illnesses and save people, not to slap others in the face!"

Chen Weihong grinned and scratched his head, "Actually, I know that you are of noble character and have outstanding medical ethics, so you definitely wouldn't bother to do such a thing."

"It's just that when I think about you stepping on those so-called intellectuals who slander Chinese medicine, I can't help but feel relieved."

"Especially Chen Zhengdong. When I think of him, I get angry!"

Wang Chengzhou blinked. In the past, he rarely heard this guy mention other people. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Who is Chen Zhengdong?"

"Chen Zhengdong is my father!"

Chen Weihong gritted her teeth and snorted coldly.

"no……"

Wang Chengzhou stopped and almost choked on his saliva, "Why do you hate your father so much? Isn't this too funny?"

"Humph!"

Chen Weihong had a dark face and showed no intention of restraining himself, "Now, I don't want to mention too much about him."

"I can only tell you that my grandfather is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and his only son, Chen Zhengdong, is a Western medicine practitioner!"

"My grandpa was very good to me. He doted on me very much when I was young. Later, my grandpa died because of Chen Zhengdong."

This... the amount of information is still as large as ever!

Moreover, it involves a family scandal!

It's just that family scandals should not be made public. Others don't want to talk about it, and it's hard to press yourself.

Wang Chengzhou blinked and suddenly said: "Chen Weihong, tell me, if I slap your father in the face and make you happy, will you pay me?"

Hearing this, Chen Weihong was choked to death.

Staring at him with strange eyes.

I thought to myself: I’m such a mean-mouthed person!Can you take back what you just said?
However, after thinking about it carefully and imagining some scenes of fatherly kindness and filial piety, I couldn't help but excitedly said:

"Here!" "As long as you trample his arrogant head under your feet, Wang Chengzhou, I guarantee that you will get as many industrial coupons as you want!"

"Ahem, of course, when I say step on you, I mean it from the heart."

Wang Chengzhou couldn't help laughing.

If you really trample your father's head under your feet on a physical level, then you are really a filial son!
For that kind of thing that goes against human ethics, it's not a question of how much money it costs. The problem is that it's easy to be struck by lightning.

However, the steady stream of industrial coupons really made his heart flutter.

It is now 1977, and the college entrance examination will resume at the end of the year.

In 1978, household contracting of land was implemented, which liberated rural industry and commerce.

However, the cancellation of various tickets did not occur until 1984, after the southern pilot.

During this period, although the voucher system became more and more loose, and the country gradually narrowed the scope of rationing of consumer goods, it was still needed for some large industrial products.

Just like three turns and one beep.

Just thought about it for a while.

Let alone the three-turn-one ring now, I can't even afford to build a house at home!

If you don’t have money, why would you need so many industrial coupons?

Besides, if you really go to the county hospital to slap someone in the face, aren't you afraid of offending them?
Wang Chengzhou smiled and didn't take it seriously.

The two people returned home and, at Chen Weihong's plea, started Yuquan's preparation.

This thing is actually a rough jade that has not yet been carved.

Essentially, it's almost like a stone.

Therefore, if you want to get it into your stomach, you will naturally have to put in a lot of effort.

It must be cooked with fire.

In fact, it means putting it in a pot and calcining it.

The word "焅" is specially used on jade.

However, Wang Chengzhou's family was so poor that they only had a big iron pot for cooking.

If they mess up that thing, Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu will chase them all over the streets and beat them to death when they come back!

Finally, Chen Weihong went out for a walk and came back borrowing a casserole.

The two of them lit a fire in the yard. It was so smoky that their faces turned black, and Yuquan burned red.

After it cools down, use a garlic mortar to pound it into dough.

Looking at the medicinal powder they had finally obtained, the two of them had dark faces, bared teeth, and smiled like fools.

Wang Chengzhou sighed in his heart.

I don’t know when I will be able to have my own pharmacy.

When the time comes, we will find an apricot forest, build a few houses with white walls and black tiles, and hire a few talented apprentices to make herbal medicines on rollers and prepare pills in baskets.

There was a chorus of warblers and swallows.

Let Luan Hongying stand at the counter and learn to take medicine, let Xu Xiaozhi adjust the abacus and collect money.

Find a shady place by yourself and get a wicker chair to lie down.

Tsk, so beautiful!
Unfortunately, the sun was too strong and made him dizzy.

I can no longer daydream.

After learning new knowledge, Chen Weihong left happily.

Firstly, it was to deliver medicinal powder to the Yangliu family, and secondly, it was necessary to take a look at Wang Tielin's house.

After all, the doctor from the county hospital will be arriving in the afternoon.

As the dean's son, he must show his face and socialize with others.

Seeing that it was noon, Wang Chengzhou couldn't just wait to eat.

Taking advantage of the sun's heat, I quickly took out the red arrow and Ligusticum chuanxiong and dried them for a while.

Prepare for the afternoon honey pill making.

After a while, Li Yuzhu and Wang Aiduo came back from outside, each holding a basket of wild vegetables in their hands.

Wang Honghe was carrying a shovel, his trouser legs were covered with black mud, and the small bucket he was carrying contained a puddle of clear water with several loaches jumping around.

From time to time, he spit out a bunch of blisters.

"Mom, I've been working hard all morning, and I still don't have enough energy and money for this little thing!"

When Wang Honghe saw his son looking at it, he grinned and said, "This is at least half a catty. I'll deal with it later. Let's make some soup. It's considered meaty."

Li Yuzhu glared at him and smiled:

"You have the nerve to say it!"

"Is this half a pound? In front of my son, you really know how to put gold on your own face."

"Let me see, when the soup is cooked later, it won't be meaty at all except for the fishy taste, right?"

Wang Honghe grinned and was too embarrassed to refute.

Si Ya, on the other hand, pouted her little mouth and said, "Dad, tell me, why is there such a huge gap between this person and others?"

"It's the same as digging for loaches. Wang Jianchun caught several eels in the morning. Why are you so pitiful?"

"Speaking of which, that horse matchmaker is really lucky. During the years when everyone was hungry, she was the only one who ate in vain."

After scolding his own father for a few words, the conversation suddenly changed and he slyly opened the wild vegetables in the basket, revealing a layer of green wheat ears underneath.

He said with a shy face: "Fortunately, we also have a useful girl in our family, otherwise, wouldn't your big teeth be starved?"

Wang Chengzhou opened his mouth and stared at her in shock.

When Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe saw this, their expressions changed, and they quickly grabbed her ears and pulled her into the main room.

The pain made her stand on tiptoes, gritted her teeth, and begged for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts!"

The two pushed their daughter to the bench and scolded:
"You damn girl, why did you steal the wheat from the team?"

"If you are seen by others, you are not allowed to be reported to the commune!"

"If a girl ruins her reputation for something trivial, will she ever marry again?"

Si Ya pursed her lips and said aggrievedly:
"Mom, I've already done it, so why can't we do it?"

"If you want to catch me, I'll catch everyone together. Anyway, I have someone to keep me company!"

"Everyone can eat it, but we can only watch? I don't accept it!"

Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't know how to educate her, so they could only forcefully persuade her:
"People are people, you are you!"

"Our children just can't do such sneaky things!"

"Look at your brother, he is well-educated and knowledgeable now, but he can't do something like you!"

Wang Chengzhou felt guilty for a while.

Sure enough, when Si Ya heard this, she immediately became excited, "Mom, you are talking nonsense!"

"Wang Chengzhou used to take me to steal the team's melons when I was a kid!"

"As for the little pepper from the village chief's house, when I was a kid, I would steal persimmons and fight with her a lot! He has done many more such things than me, and I learned from him!"

Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe choked, their eyes widened and they were speechless.

Seeing Wang Chengzhou move away with an embarrassed look and his obscene behavior, the whole family laughed.
