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

Chapter 144 Give Wang Yutang acupuncture
Today, the scene of pushing the cart in the heavy rain really made him feel the fighting spirit of this era.

That is a kind of will that can inspire people and is a unique power of this era!
Wang Chengzhou seemed to understand the meaning of courage and responsibility in an instant.

As a result, my thinking has broadened a lot.

When Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu heard this, they frowned and thought for a while, and their eyes gradually brightened.

He smiled and nodded quickly, feeling that the proposal was feasible.

However, a trace of pity flashed in Li Yuzhu's eyes, and she sighed: "San'er, making embryos and firing bricks is very tiring. Mom doesn't want you to suffer like that."

"It's okay. Ever since I learned martial arts from old Luan Tou, my body has become very strong!"

Wang Chengzhou patted his chest, making a thumping sound.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Aiduo heard this, he became unhappy and pouted, "Mom, you are partial!"

"I just know that I feel sorry for Wang Chengzhou, but I don't know that I feel sorry for me."

"Why didn't you tell me that making embryos and firing bricks is tiring?"

"Good good!"

Li Yuzhu rolled his eyes at her, cleared his throat, and coaxed angrily: "Siya, making embryos and baking bricks is very tiring, and I don't want you to suffer like that."

"It's okay, even if we don't learn martial arts from old Luan Tou, we are still very strong!"

Siya followed Wang Chengzhou's example and punched her chest with her small fist, but couldn't help coughing, "Ahem, cough, cough, oh, this doesn't count, I used too much force, come again!"

What a silly girl...

The family looked at her like she was a fool and couldn't help laughing.

Wang Chengzhou raised his hand and touched her forehead, urging:
"Stop making a fool of yourself. The rain has stopped a little now. Go and change your wet clothes."

"I'll catch a cold later."

"When the time comes, I'll need an injection."

The rain gradually stopped.

Only the thatch sticking out from the eaves is left, with a crystal drop of water dripping from time to time.

The yard was made like an alluvial plain, with lines left by accumulated water everywhere.

The terrain of the house is high, and all the rainwater collects at the gate.

At a glance, there is a river in front of the courtyard.

The weather suddenly became particularly cool.

In the current situation, if the stagnant water does not disappear, it will definitely be impossible to get out of the ground.

The house didn't collapse.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and started preparing dinner.

Si Ya changed into clean clothes. It was a rare moment of free time in the summer, so she sat at the door holding "A Dream of Red Mansions" and lowered her head to read.

Wang Chengzhou originally wanted to check how Watermelon Frost was doing.

Suddenly, there was a shout outside the door.

"Chengzhou, are you at home?"

This is a completely polite inquiry.

It just rained heavily. Where can I be if I'm not at home?
"At home, who is it?"

Wang Chengzhou stood up and went out to greet him.

When I opened the courtyard door, I couldn't help but be stunned.

However, when he saw Wang Yutang smiling at him, as if nothing was wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boy, I have to trouble you today."

"Master Yu, did you hurt your arm?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Chengzhou knew what he was going to do.

"Oh, that's incredible!"

Wang Yutang waded in the water and walked in, exclaiming in an exaggerated manner, "You boy, you have really become the little miracle doctor of our Wangjia Village now."

"I haven't even said this yet, and you've already seen it?"

"Damn, you are indeed careless."

As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeves.

The entire right arm is hanging down, and the shoulder is slightly red and swollen.

Wang Yutang asked him to check and said angrily:
"Mom, when I was in the fields, I was a little dizzy from the singing of those young people. I couldn't help but feel the blood rush to my head. When I was lifting the wheel of the cart, I used too much force."

"I thought I was exerting all my strength. I ignored that everyone was working together. The strength was too great and I accidentally slipped."

"At this moment, I can't even lift my arms."

Wang Chengzhou almost laughed out loud.

This is called a hollow hammer, and it is the easiest way to hurt yourself.

Sometimes, a person's muscles are too strong and his body cannot coordinate, which will harm himself.

It's the same as working out hard in the gym.

Just like those bodybuilders who have gained pimples all over their bodies, they are actually deformed and their muscles have become a burden.

Wang Yutang had a very good foundation, but he could not catch Luan Xiuwu's eyes, and could only learn some superficial knowledge.

My body is strong enough, but my skills are far behind.

"It's okay, Mr. Yu."

Wang Chengzhou smiled and took out the silver needle and pressed a few times on his shoulder. "You have a strain. There is congestion inside. A few needles and cupping will be enough."

Wang Yutang breathed a sigh of relief and then said fearfully:

"Chengzhou, I'm really afraid that if I fall ill, I won't be able to control those brats."

"Besides, this is the time to put in the effort. If you don't use your strength, it will really scare people to death."

"You can use whatever means you have for me."

At this time, the family heard the noise and came out.

When I saw him, I was very enthusiastic.

Firstly, Wang Yutang has a high seniority and can be regarded as the elder of the family; secondly, Wang Yutang has great prestige, and he is really a man of authority in the village.

Furthermore, because of Wang Chengzhou's apprenticeship with Luan Xiuwu, the two families had frequent contacts.

The relationship is quite close.

Wang Chengzhou naturally couldn't be vague.

First, one injection was given to Yanglingquan near the knee.

Yanglingquan is traumatized!

Chen Weihong knows how to memorize it.

If the tendons are in Yanglingquan and the shoulder is strained, it is natural to acupuncture this acupoint.

Then, needle the Hegu points on the left and right palms.

Hegu point can unblock meridians and relieve pain. Acupuncture here can make Wang Yutang feel more relaxed.

In fact, there has always been a folk saying that you should press the Hegu point when you have toothache.

However, it's not entirely correct.

Only for upper toothache caused by intestinal fire, pressing Hegu point is effective.Because Hegu point is an acupoint on the large intestine meridian of Hand Yangming, and the large intestine meridian of Hand Yangming passes through the palate.

If you have lower toothache caused by stomach fire, you need Neiting point to be effective.Because Neiting point is an acupoint on the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, and the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian passes through the lower jaw.

Of course, this is all for toothache caused by internal heat.

If the root of the tooth is really necrotic, it would be easier to see a dentist to extract the tooth.

After piercing the Hegu point and Yanglingquan, Wang Chengzhou went from top to bottom along the Jiankui, Quchi, Chize, Shaohai, Shousanli, Waiguan, Wristbone, Yanggu, Qiangu, Yangxi, Liquidmen, Taiyuan... plunged all the way through.

Anyway, the three meridians that pass through the shoulder are the large intestine meridian of Hand Yangming, the small intestine meridian of Hand Taiyang, and the triple burner meridian of Hand Shaoyang.

If the large intestine meridian is injured, the arm cannot bend; if the small intestine meridian is injured, the arm cannot swing back; if the triple burner meridian is injured, the arm cannot be raised.

For a moment, Wang Chengzhou couldn't tell what was going on with him.

He couldn't endure the pain and forcefully pull it up to take a look.

I can only prick all three meridians.

Then, diarrhea was performed on the sub-points of each meridian.New diseases are all evidence.

After finishing the work, he was asked to sit on the bench shirtless, stretch his arms forward, and find the acupuncture point in the gap between the shoulder blades.

Although it is a bit exaggerated that the ointment can cure all diseases, it can be used to treat shoulder pain and eliminate congestion, and the effect is still very good.

Gently prick two small openings with a three-edged needle and squeeze out a little blood.

Wang Yutang practices martial arts regularly and is still in good health. The color of his blood is relatively normal.

If your health is particularly poor, either the blood released from the Gaoming point will be dark, or the blood released will be too bright.

Anyway, something doesn't look right.

Wang Chengzhou found two more glass bottles filled with medicine, tore off two pieces of newspapers, lit them, and put them in.

Then, quickly press on his vagina.

This is the first time Si Ya has seen such an interesting thing.

I was so curious that I didn’t even bother to read the novel. I leaned my head and lay aside to watch.

Not to mention how surprised he was when he saw that the two pieces of meat on Wang Yutang's shoulders were completely sucked into the bottle.

In fact, the principle of this thing is very simple, it is the same as those vacuum cupping devices nowadays.

Acupuncture, massage, cupping, scraping... Speaking of which, they are actually all methods of traditional Chinese medicine.

Somehow, they were all dismembered.

Cupping is extremely effective in treating muscle strains caused by overtraining, and is even popular all over the world. However, according to Xiao Heizi, it has nothing to do with traditional Chinese medicine.

It's still dark, I don't know why.

After completing the operation, Wang Yutang immediately felt much more relaxed.

However, it takes a while to recover.

Logically speaking, some medicines for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis should be prescribed, but as a village health worker, he had limited conditions and could not find those herbal medicines.

I can only ask him not to use excessive force after returning to avoid secondary injury.

Wang Yutang shook his arms slightly and couldn't help but smile on his face.

He clicked his tongue and said, "Oh, no wonder among the younger generation, those big girls and young wives only have a good attitude towards you. This is a real skill!"

"After you have cured me, I feel like I can go to work in the fields now."

"Fine, not bad!"

Wang Chengzhou smiled and shook his head, but still told him not to show off.

The body's recovery requires a process, and even if the pain is eliminated, it will take several days to recover.

After sending Wang Yutang away, Xu Xiaozhi poked her head and walked in from the door.

"Wang Xiucai, I'm here to eat watermelon!"

As soon as the little girl entered the door, she started joking.

Si Ya rolled her eyes at her and ran up to hold her arm.

Wang Chengzhou smiled and said: "No problem, I'll take care of myself!"

With that said, he went to the kitchen to get a knife.

"No, no, no, I'm joking."

Xu Xiaozhi pursed her lips, laughed, stretched out her hand and handed over a large bag of things, "Here, Uncle Changsheng brought you the Glauber's Salt."

Medical Glauber's Salt is slightly more expensive.

However, five yuan bought a lot.

Wang Chengzhou quickly took it and weighed it. It was definitely enough.

"Hahaha, is that so?"

Wang Chengzhou coughed lightly and stretched out a hand gracefully, "Then, in order to express my gratitude, I will treat Comrade Xu Xiaozhi to eat watermelon."

Si Ya rolled her eyes at him, and the three young people laughed together.

Xu Xiaozhi and Wang Aiduo were lying together eating watermelon. Wang Chengzhou found a few clay pots and continued to make watermelon frost.

Although the girls in the city are well-informed, this is the first time they have seen this ancient method, and they are even more surprised than Wang Aiduo was before.

In order to show off, Wang Chengzhou even took out the jar of watermelon cream he made last night.

After a whole day, fine white frost can be faintly seen on the outer wall of the clay pot.

Densely packed, like a layer of hair.

"Wow, so amazing!"

"Brother, I have to say, you really have a lot of weird ideas!"

The two girls' eyes widened, as if they were watching a magic trick.

Wang Chengzhou chuckled, his vanity greatly satisfied, "It's nothing, my talent is like a wild horse. What you have seen is only one ten thousandth!"

"Hey, you said you were fat and you still breathed."

Si Ya pouted her little mouth with a look of disgust on her face, "You are so confused by what you say, does anyone really want this thing?"

"Last time, Cang Zhu made some money, but that's just your luck."

"What's the use of this thing?"

As he spoke, he stretched out a finger, dipped a little in it, put it in his mouth and licked it.

Then, he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, "Oh, it's so salty and cold!"

"You are such a tough girl!"

Wang Chengzhou slapped her finger on her forehead, "Why do you put everything in your mouth?"

"Watermelon cream is a holy medicine for throat medicine, it has great effects."

"Following the principle of the monarch and his ministers assisting their envoys, use watermelon frost as the monarch medicine and add in some other ministerial medicine to make it a household medicine. You don't have to worry about not having any buyers."

In later generations, a certain brand of watermelon frost was made by adding borneol, calcined borax, phellodendron, coptis, astragalus, licorice, menthol, etc.

After the [-]th century, it became popular all over the country.

Wang Chengzhou could have followed the recipe and made it come out decades earlier.

By then, you will be able to at least become an entrepreneur, and having a huge fortune will be a trivial matter.

However, he believed that he did not have that kind of business acumen, and he was not willing to sharpen his head to get into business.

Being able to live a peaceful and happy life is his greatest pursuit.

Several people studied around the clay pot and then sent Xu Xiaozhi home.

Originally, the two of them wanted to keep her for dinner. After all, it was just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks.

However, Xu Xiaozhi said that Yu Hua was at home today. After all, the two of them lived together and it was not good to leave her alone, so she left in a hurry.

The family had dinner.

Lying on the bed, Wang Chengzhou thought for a moment about how to sell the watermelon frost after it was produced.

Should we take it to a drugstore in the city to sell it, or should we go directly to Liu Xiliang and sell it in a supply and marketing cooperative?
However, watermelon frost is inferior to atractylodes.

It has certain taboos for use, such as: children, pregnant women, lactating women, and the elderly and infirm cannot use it.

Because watermelon is salty and cold in nature.

Cold and cool medicines will have counterproductive effects on patients with spleen and stomach deficiency and loose stools.

The most reliable way is to sell it to state-owned pharmacies.

Although watermelon frost is not a particularly rare drug, most people do not know the process, so it is still marketable.

After thinking about it for a while, he fell asleep.

The next morning, the sky was still gloomy.

However, the rain stopped falling.

However, the wheat in the ground is still wet and cannot be sickled yet.

The wheat straw stacks in the threshing floor can be opened for ventilation.

After breakfast, the young people in the village had nothing to do and wandered around in the fields.

Wang Chengzhou is naturally no exception.
