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

Chapter 163 Overturned Xinhua Dictionary

The reason why Wang Chengzhou concluded at a glance that Xu Wannian was allergic to protein was because he had seen many precedents in his previous life.

In the summer, climbing forks are a delicacy at barbecue stalls, but they have also caused many disasters.

Urticaria is the most typical allergic reaction.

In the words of Western medicine, it is the body's immune system that produces abnormal immune rejection of specific foods.

The main treatments include antihistamines, hormone injections, and desensitization therapy by implanting antigen preparations to gradually adapt the body to the allergen.

Generally speaking, wherever there is a problem, we should treat it.

The explanation of traditional Chinese medicine is different.

It is generally believed that allergies are caused by a lack of integrity and the invasion of external evils.

The reason is that the internal organs are not functioning properly and yin and yang cannot work with each other.

"Su Wen" says: "If the yin is inside, the yang is protected; if the yang is outside, the yin is used."

As far as the human body is concerned, the internal organs and organs transform, support, and determine the external state of qi and blood.

"The yin and yang are evenly balanced to complement their shape, and the nine princes are like one, so the life is called Pingren."

For a normal person, if the Yang Qi is tight on the outside, the Yin Qi is peaceful on the inside, the Yin and Yang are coordinated, and the organs are fully functional, the skin and blood vessels will be strong and will not be easily invaded by external evils.

Just like Wang Chengzhou, Xu Xiaozhi and others.

Although they also suffered from climbing fork, they would not suddenly become seriously ill like Xu Wannian.

"The Yin one stores the essence and creates urgency; the Yang one protects the outside and becomes solid."

Therefore, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, pollen allergy is caused by the lungs, while fork allergies are related to the spleen.

If you want to completely cure allergies, you must work on the root cause instead of just treating the headache and treating the pain.

If urticaria occurs when it is hot, use Ephedra plus Shu Decoction; if it occurs when it is cold, use Xiaoyao Powder plus red dates.

Among them, Atractylodes can remove spleen dampness, and red dates can strengthen the spleen and stomach, both of which work on the spleen.

Many people say that the Five Elements theory used to treat diseases in traditional Chinese medicine is a mechanical pseudo-science and cannot be regarded as a theoretical basis at all.

But it is this holistic view of life based on nature that has cured patients with recurring urticaria one after another.

Of course, the current conditions are simple and the situation is urgent.

Even if Wang Chengzhou is beaten to death, he will not be able to get ephedra, atractylodes, poria, red dates...

He could only use acupuncture first to help him stop his physical discomfort and get rid of his high fever.

Then, the needle was injected into the sea of ​​blood and Quchi.

Xuehai is an acupoint on the Spleen Meridian of Foot-Taiyin, and Quchi is an acupoint on the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming.

Together with Zusanli, it is what people often call the three shots for eczema.

Wang Chengzhou explained while busy.

The few educated youths looked at the dark sky outside, then took another look at Xu Wannian who was in great pain, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and get into the night.

Fortunately, Wang Honghe got up.

There is also a little tail behind him, Wang Aiduo.

Li Yuzhu was so angry in the room that she almost cursed, but she still couldn't stop Si Ya from eating melon.

In fact, it was a bit unfair to say that she was eating melon.

Since they are neighbors with Xu Xiaozhi and Yu Hua, the three girls have a good relationship.

Aiwujiwu, when something happened to the male educated youth who went to the countryside, she couldn't just ignore it, right?

"Da, you're here too."

Several educated youths finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wang Honghe, "Wang Chengzhou said that Xu Wannian had urticaria and needed to use Tribulus terrestris, Xanthium angustifolia and Nightberry, but we don't know what they are."

"Although I have some impressions, I can't remember where I saw it for a while."

"How about you take us to find it?"

Seeing several educated youth comrades staring at him eagerly, Wang Honghe wrinkled his old face and felt embarrassed for a moment.

After hearing them explain it carefully, I suddenly realized it and slapped my thigh, "Hey, what did I think it was? It's so easy to find!"

"We have white caltrops on the river bank. Some sloppy eggs go to the river to bathe. Their bare feet are always getting pricked and howling. We call them dog thorns."

"Xanthium seeds are even more common. They are everywhere near our village. In autumn, they always stick to clothes, which is annoying."

"As for the Nocturnal Vine, from your description, it's called Shouwu Vine here. When I went to the back mountains to cut trees, it was crawling in the ditches on the roadside."

Several educated youths finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Split up quickly.

Si Ya led Xu Xiaozhi and Yu Hua to find Tribulus terrestris, Diao Qingsong and Zhao Yu went to find Xanthium sibiricum, and Wang Honghe went to the back mountain alone to find Night Jiaoteng.

At midnight, the fog rose and the humidity was heavy.

Wang Chengzhou was worried that Wang Honghe would be in danger if he went to the back mountain alone, so he quickly stopped him and put a flashlight into his hand.

"No problem, no problem!"

Wang Honghe said it was okay. Isn't it just like going to his own home in the back mountain?
But holding the flashlight tightly, his old face still smiled like a chrysanthemum.

A group of young people in their twenties went into the night, looking for medicinal materials all over the mountains and plains.

When I was in the city, I probably never had such an experience.

house.

Wang Chengzhou twisted the needle to promote qi, and added bloodletting from Dazhui. After one operation, Xu Wannian's expression gradually calmed down, and he woke up leisurely.

He opened his eyes dimly, saw Wang Chengzhou, grinned, and muttered:
"Wang Xiucai, why are you here?"

"I was dreaming about grabbing climbing forks, one after another, and the bucket I was carrying was almost full. I was happily preparing to go home and bake it, but unexpectedly, I missed the step and fell into the lava. It's so hot that I can smell the burnt smell on myself!"

"I don't know why, but I just can't wake up. What's going on?"

This kid was sweating profusely and his face was pale, but he was still smiling stupidly.

It's really like a starving ghost reincarnated, and he still wants to eat a fork.

Wang Chengzhou rolled his eyes and was about to tell him that he might not be able to enjoy that delicious food in a short time.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wannian was lying on the bed, scratched his head, frowned and said: "Wang Xiucai, why do I feel so uncomfortable?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched it. His face turned pale with fright and his voice trembled, "What is this? Why do I have so many pimples on my body?"

Pulling open his sleeves, he found that his arms were bumpy, and a flat hard lump appeared in his skin as if some weird bug had gotten into it.

The boy screamed in fright and was about to get up, but in the end he was too weak and lay down heavily again.

"Xu Wannian, you have urticaria. It was caused by eating forks."

Wang Chengzhou had to tell him this cruel fact and said seriously:

"Your symptoms are severe."

"If Zhao Yu and Diao Qingsong hadn't discovered it in time and called me over in time, your life might not have been saved."

"You can't eat the climbing fork from now on."

"What?!"

Xu Wannian screamed, his face full of disbelief, and his expression immediately became depressed, "Wang Chengzhou, are you kidding me?"

"I just had a good time last night. I finally have some hope in the boring and hard life, but you told me that I can't eat anymore?" "Do you know how we have been here in the past six months? "

The tone was sad, and tears were about to fall.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. The rabbit you gave us was the only time the three of us ate meat in the past six months."

"We ate sweet potato noodles and steamed buns all day long, and we were still not full. When we walked, our legs became weak."

"We boiled that rabbit in a pot and carefully divided it into three parts. We were so greedy that we couldn't even throw away the bones. We chewed it into pieces and swallowed it."

"When I think about it now, I still feel a sting in my throat, but it makes me miss it so much."

"Wang Chengzhou, do you know? The fried fork last night really enriched my soul and gave me the strength to persevere, but you told me that I can't eat it again in the future? "

Xu Wannian said emotionally, a man with tears in his eyes.

Wang Chengzhou didn't know what kind of suffering he had suffered, but he knew that he must not have suffered like this just because of climbing the fork.

Because of Xu Xiaozhi's luxurious life, he took it for granted and ignored the suffering of the educated youth.

They simply cannot realize that when these intellectuals from the city go to the countryside, their lives suddenly fall into poverty and there is no hope at all.

Hey!
Wang Chengzhou sighed.

But this kind of literary tone is associated with climbing forks. Why does it sound so funny?

It wasn't until the thick fog began to billow into the house, and Xu Wannian gritted his teeth and could hardly hold on anymore, that the group finally hurried back.

Wang Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started making the soup.

Everyone follows to help.

Yu Hua is older, similar to the three male educated youths Xu Wannian, Zhao Yu and Diao Qingsong. They are all in their early twenties and much more sensible.

Out of feminine tenderness, she found a towel, soaked it with hot water, twisted it, and put it on his forehead.

She comforted him gently.

His soft-spoken demeanor is much better than Wang Chengzhou's weird foreign accent. He just wants to laugh at him, but there are many people.

Xu Wannian, who suddenly fell seriously ill and almost died, was so moved that he almost cried.

After Wang Chengzhou boiled the potion, he let it cool down a little and asked Diao Qingsong and Zhao Yu to wipe his body and wash away any places where there were wind masses.

Then, he yawned and left.

The two male educated youth comrades were left staring at the other male educated youth comrade lying on the bed, messy in the wind.

After working on it for so long at night, it is impossible for the neighbors not to know.

Early in the morning, before starting work, we started gathering at the door, holding rice bowls and discussing.

When they found out that Xu Zhiqing almost lost his life after eating a fork, everyone was horrified.

Touching the fork has not yet become popular in the local area. Now that I heard that this thing is so powerful, who would dare to get it and eat it?

One by one, frothing at the mouth, they began to criticize an insect with words and writings.

Of course, I can't help but laugh at Xu Wannian's tragic experience.

For the sake of a bite to eat, doing this has really become the talk of the streets.

I wonder if Comrade Xu Wannian, who has lost hope in life, will become even more despairing about life after hearing this.

With this little farce, the summer harvest work has truly come to an end.

For a time, the whole village became beaming with joy.

By the time the food was distributed, the atmosphere had reached its peak.

The summer harvest is not as lively as the autumn harvest.

There is only one thing to share - wheat.

But it also concerns the nerves of the whole village.

However, Wang Chengzhou was busy going to the back mountain to inspect Luan Hongying's work and missed a good show.

In just one summer, Luan Hongying seemed to have grown taller.

When Wang Chengzhou arrived, she was leaning over the stream, washing her waterfall-like long hair. Her two long legs were reflected straight in the stream, a little dazzling in the sunlight.

Hearing Dahuang's cry, he straightened up and swung it. Crystal water droplets were flying in the air, and he looked over with a cold expression.

Along the way, Wang Chengzhou prepared a lot of wisecracks.

But the moment he saw her face, he immediately choked up. He really didn't dare to blaspheme the goddess's appearance.

Clear eyebrows, bright lips, white teeth, and skin as good as snow...

For a moment, it was like looking through a dictionary in my mind, with various four-character idioms popping up constantly.

Not seeing Wang Chengzhou for many days, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Master...brother?"

Luan Hongying was very happy to see him, but he was standing stupidly, staring at her like a wooden stake, his autumn eyes surged, and he blinked his curved eyelashes with a puzzled look on his face.

"Its shape is like a frightening giant, graceful like a wandering dragon. Rong Yao, autumn chrysanthemum, Hua Mao spring pine. It seems like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like a flowing wind returning snow. From a distance, it is bright like the sun Rising to the morning sun; when forced to observe it, Zhuo Ruofu burst out the waves."

Wang Chengzhou inexplicably thought of the sentences in "Luo Shen Fu".

Looking at the newly born Luan Hongying, she only dared to make a few remarks based on the talents of the ancients.

Then, he smiled mischievously, but the senior sister couldn't understand it anyway.

"What...what happened to you?"

How could Luan Hongying understand what he was mumbling?
Thinking that he was sick, he slowly came closer, stretched out his slender jade hand, and pressed it on his forehead. He frowned and thought for a while, looking cute, "Are you... sick...?"

Paired with every word, the child-like tone makes people's hearts melt.

Wang Chengzhou smelled the fragrance of Chi Chi, blushed, coughed lightly, grabbed her wrist and moved it away, and said seriously: "Xiao Hongying, it's time for you to hand in your homework."

"what?"

Luan Hongying suddenly flashed her big eyes, how could she know the dirty things in his belly.

"cough!"

With his ignorant and innocent look, Wang Chengzhou suddenly felt that he was a little too much and hurriedly said:
"Do you still remember the three herbs I taught you?"

"Have you been digging in the mountains recently?"

"However, the weather has been too hot recently, so you must have not gone, right?"

Luan Hongying is still not very articulate, or maybe she has a cold temper and doesn't talk much.

After hearing his suspicion, Luan Hongying said nothing, pursed her red lips, pulled him and ran towards the thatched cottage.

The Hanfu on his body is fluttering in the wind, and his slender figure is jumping lightly on the bluestone. It feels like he has suddenly entered the fairyland from the troubled world.

Wang Chengzhou felt that the heat on his body was relieved a little by being held by his senior sister.

As soon as the door was opened, a scent of medicinal fragrance hit my face.

Looking at the mountain-like pile of medicinal materials in front of him, Wang Chengzhou swallowed.

Suddenly, I felt a little bit annoyed with myself.

How much time and effort did it take to dig out so many roots?
With a straight face, Wang Chengzhou grabbed Luan Hongying's jade hand, held it to his chest, and began to examine it.

Like a serious parent.
