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

Chapter 257 If the disease is not allowed to be cured, the disease will not be cured
To be honest, given the character of the Dou family and his son, Wang Chengzhou really didn't want to care.

But what was helpless was that his eldest brother wanted to take back his wife and children. If he had just stood by and watched, today's matter would probably go south immediately.

Wang Nanzhou held the child in his arms and looked over blankly, his eyes slightly red. For a man like him, he was almost in tears because of this rare occasion.

Wang Chengzhou sighed secretly and said with a heavy face:
"Sister-in-law, Uncle Changshou's illness is actually very serious."

"Medical sage Zhang Zhongjing once said that thirsty diseases are caused by spring and summer dramas, autumn and winter diseases, and are due to the time of the year. Now that the weather has begun to cool down, the heat of Yangming, the longevity uncle, has intensified. People have to pour cold water to cool down early in the morning. This is the kidney When the water dries up, it cannot control the fire in his heart, and it is only strong and invincible."

"The victory cannot be controlled at the moment, which is called true strength. It is the solitary yang and the yin. The book says that in the human body, the vitality is the main body and the heaven's order is the guest. Now the heaven's order is cold and cool, but it cannot control the heat. Medications have very little effect.”

"This is what the "Huangdi Neijing" says, 'the master overcomes adversity, and the guest overcomes obedience'."

Wang Chengzhou tried his best to explain to them in a simple tone, but did not exaggerate the seriousness of Dou Changshou's diabetes.

When Dou Xuemei heard this, her expression changed.

The five Dou Tianlin brothers were even more panicked. They had already forgotten about dealing with the Wang Nanzhou brothers, and they were focused on trying to save their father.

"Um, Wang Chengzhou, you...are you telling the truth?"

"Chengzhou...brother, we have long heard of your superb medical skills, and after all, we are all relatives. How about you treat my father?"

"Wang Chengzhou, I beg you!"

As I said before, although the five brothers of the Dou family are all tough men, the real talkative person in the family is their father Dou Tianlin.Not to mention the filial piety that children should have, this dependence they had developed since childhood made them panic and helpless.

These guys no longer cared about their dignity, their eyes were full of tears, they grabbed his hand and shook it.

There is nothing better than being respectful in the front and respectful in the back.

For the sake of his elder brother, Wang Chengzhou could only hold his nose and agree, and said:

"Although I've already made a thorough diagnosis of Uncle Changshou's condition, if it's for diagnosis and treatment, I at least have to take his pulse again."

"it's OK?"

The last words were directed at Dou Changshou.

Unexpectedly, the old man saw his whole family of children surrounding Wang Chengzhou like they were begging their grandfather to sue their grandmother. His face turned livid with anger, his chest heaved violently, and he pointed at his nose and cursed:

"Little bastard, you are really a demagogue!"

"I'm not sick at all!"

"You are useless cowards, and you are like a dragon in the river when people come to apologize for your wrongdoings, but you can't wait to kneel down and kowtow to them! I, Dou Changshou, have lost all my face by you!"

"You little bastard, get out of here! Don't tell me I'm not sick. Even if I am sick, you won't be allowed to treat me!"

Dou Changshou cursed so hard that he was panting, obviously unreasonable.

Wang Chengzhou's face immediately darkened.

For a moment, the five brothers of the Dou family couldn't tell the truth from the false. They stood there blankly, looking at a loss.

However, Dou Xuemei had seen his methods after all, and she was convinced in her heart. She ignored her crazy father at all, but pulled Wang Chengzhou with tears in her eyes and said in a low voice:
"Brother, please ignore him."

"Otherwise, you can treat my father."

"I believe you can cure him."

When the eldest brother Wang Nanzhou saw his wife crying, he also squeezed forward with the child in his arms. Although he didn't speak, his expectant eyes said everything.

However, looking at Dou Changshou who was staring at him with a ferocious face, Wang Chengzhou shook his head firmly and said in a deep voice:

"I can indeed cure diabetes. Even if I can't cure it completely, I can delay a person's death for many days."

"But I can't cure your father."

"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says: Those who are obsessed with ghosts and gods cannot speak of the most virtuous people; those who hate needles and stones cannot speak of the most skillful people; if the disease is not allowed to be cured, the disease will not be cured, and treatment will be ineffective."

"It's not that I don't want to treat it, it's that I can't."

As soon as the words fell, Dou Xuemei was stunned.

In my impression, this brother Wang Nanzhou has a lazy temperament and greets everyone with a smile. To put it bluntly, he is soft-hearted and has no backbone.But today, what he said was so resounding, leaving no room for maneuver...

The villagers of Doujiazhuang who were watching the excitement were in an uproar, with different expressions, and they all started talking fiercely.

Things can only end here today.

Wang Chengzhou stopped talking and winked at his eldest brother, "Brother, why are you still standing? Let's go."

Wang Nanzhou was stunned for a moment, and seemed to want to put Wang Haibo on the ground, but he glared hard at him. He couldn't help but react immediately, hugged the child in his arms tightly, and followed quickly.

The five Dou Tianlin brothers were stunned.

When Dou Changshou saw that they were going to take his grandson away, he was so angry that he jumped on his feet and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop it!"

Dou Xuemei was startled and rushed forward to tear it apart.

Wang Nanzhou held on tightly and refused to let go.

"sister in law."

Wang Chengzhou immediately squeezed over and said with a smile:
"You've been staying at your parents' house for several months. Why don't you come back with us? Life in Wangjia Village has been much better recently. We eat meat every day."

"After all, Xiao Haibo's surname is Wang, and he is a member of our old Wang family. What's the point of letting him stay in someone else's house?"

"My brother came to pick you up with gifts, so you should feel sorry for him."

Dou Xuemei hesitated for a moment, but still pulled her child without saying a word.

"Do it, do it, get it back for me!"

Dou Changshou bent his two skinny thighs and roared hysterically.

When the five Dou Tianlin brothers saw it, they surrounded them with a roar, and the one carrying a locust stick blocked the door directly.

Wang Nanzhou didn't know whether he was angry or scared. He was holding the child in his arms, his body was trembling, and his lips began to turn white.

The spectators cheered and surrounded them, seeming to be making noises, but quietly blocking their way.Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, Wang Chengzhou's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly snatched the locust stick from the man in front of him, broke it into two pieces with a click, and roared:
"We, the Wang family, take back our children. I don't think any of you dare to show appreciation!"

"I believe you have all heard the story of how I killed a native master. If there is a real conflict, I, Wang Chengzhou, will not be merciful!"

"Even if I sue the commune, I am acting in self-defense, and my death will be in vain!"

To be fair, at that time, the definition of self-defense was still very vague and the state did not advocate it, but what did a bunch of villagers know?
When Wang Chengzhou threatened him, the faces of the villagers who were booing changed and they immediately stepped aside.

Apart from anything else, the young health worker in front of me really has a life on her hands. The news almost went viral in the countryside some time ago, and few people don't know about it.But even without these, the strength of his arm to break a locust stick into two pieces with just a raised hand would make most people tremble.

You know, the stick is as thick as the mouth of a tea cup, and it is made of locust wood. It is different from poplar wood and is very hard.For ordinary people, let alone breaking it, even if they step on it with their feet, they may not be able to break it.

The five Dou Tianlin brothers had already suffered losses at his hands, and when they saw him blowing up their hair, they immediately became a little timid and couldn't help but hide away.

When Wang Chengzhou saw this, he took his eldest brother and walked outside the village.

After exiting the intersection, he turned around and shouted: "Sister-in-law, little Haibo is the biological son of you and my brother. You can come anytime you miss him. Don't forget that Wangjiacun is your home!"

With tears in her eyes, Dou Xuemei stared at him fiercely without responding.

Seeing the two brothers walking away with their children in their arms, Dou Changshou rolled his eyes in anger and fell straight on the Taishi chair.It happened that one of the legs of the Grand Master's chair was connected to the back, and one of the legs was unable to stand firmly, so he fell to the ground with a crack.

The Dou family members were so frightened that they rushed forward and helped the old man up.

Wang Chengzhou led his eldest brother and nephew all the way out of Doujiazhuang and hurried home.

Wang Nanzhou held the child in his arms. He was probably too excited and his breathing was disordered as he walked. Until he was far away from Zhuangzi, he still looked back in fear.

"Brother, we are almost at the Huzhuang Temple. Are you still afraid that the Dou family will catch up again and snatch little Haibo away? Just now they didn't dare to be arrogant in the village. Now if they catch up again, aren't they looking for a fight? Brother, this fist is not Vegetarian!”

"Yes Yes!"

Wang Nanzhou finally breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said happily: "San'er, you have to follow me, otherwise, let alone bringing Xiao Haibo back today, I wouldn't even be able to leave Zhuangdu." Don’t dare think about it!”

Wang Chengzhou smiled, there is no need to be too polite between brothers.

However, Wang Haibo was only two and a half years old and suddenly left his mother. He was just frightened, but now he came to his senses and couldn't help but grinned and started crying.

Wang Nanzhou nudged him, which made him coax for a while.

But Wang Chengzhou smiled and pointed to Huzhuang Temple, and he might as well let his elder brother take him to watch the show.When the time comes to find his parents and Si Ya, and have someone to accompany them, the little guy will soon be happy.

However, Wang Nanzhou glanced at Huzhuang Temple, where the faint sound of singing and opera could be heard, but he hesitated to leave, and asked pretending to be unintentional:

"San'er, is my father-in-law's condition really that serious?"

"Is it true that you don't treat him because he can't be cured?"

"Can you tell me more about it?"

The eldest brother has always been a straight-laced person. Whatever he thinks in his heart is written directly on his face. Wang Chengzhou can tell his thoughts at a glance.

Even at this level of trouble, he still missed his sister-in-law in his heart.She was probably afraid that Dou Changshou would really die because of this and make Dou Xuemei resentful, so she deliberately tricked him.

However, as Wang Chengzhou said just now, Dou Changshou is stubborn and does not think he is sick at all, and is not willing to let him treat himself. In addition, his diabetes is indeed very serious. In addition to using insulin to prolong his life, Basically certain death.

However, in those days, insulin was a very rare thing. Not even a farmer in the countryside could use it, not even a city dweller.

Although according to the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, insulin is like drinking poison to quench thirst for diabetic patients. Once used, it will cause lifelong dependence and directly destroy the function of the pancreas.But death is worse than living. If you can linger on, who is willing to stretch out your legs and stare, and die?

Generally speaking, this is also the saving grace of modern medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine has been able to last for thousands of years. It has never been an exclusive and autistic rigid discipline, but a medical system that can draw on the strengths of hundreds of schools and continuously improve it.

However, combining Chinese and Western medicine, both internally and externally, is a huge project. Taking the treatment of diabetes as an example, it is really difficult to find a way to get the best of both worlds in a short time.

After some confusion in his mind, Wang Chengzhou still followed the treatment concepts of traditional Chinese medicine and explained to his elder brother:
"Actually, there are still ways to treat people with serious illnesses like Dou Changshou."

"Modern physician Zhang Xichun specially gave a prescription called 'Yuye Decoction' for incurable thirst, including seven herbs including astragalus, kudzu root, yam, anemarrhena, pollen, schisandra chinensis, gallinaceae and other medicinal herbs."

"Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diabetes is caused by a lack of vitality. This prescription can increase vitality and replenish body fluids, so there should be no problem in treating Dou Changshou."

"Among them, astragalus is the king, and kudzu root can increase vitality. It is supplemented with yam, anemarrhena, and pollen to nourish the true yin, so that the yang rises and the yin responds, which has the wonder of clouds moving and raining. The reason why chicken gizzards are used is because the urine of diabetic patients There is a lot of sugar in it, and using it can help strengthen the spleen and stomach, and turn the sugar in the diet into body fluid. Taking the acid-rich nature of Schisandra chinensis can seal the kidneys and prevent water from flowing down. "

"However, as the sages said, if the disease is not cured, the disease will not be cured. Dou Changshou may have other ideas. He has been unwilling to admit that he is sick because he eats too much and gets hungry easily. Then it will be difficult for gods to save him."

Wang Nanzhou clapped his fingers and muttered, obviously remembering the prescription given by his brother, and turned a deaf ear to the last sentence.

Wang Chengzhou shook his head and could only let him go.

The eldest brother has a simple and honest temperament, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to save his family, but it is hard to say whether it will be useful.

People are afraid of committing suicide!
After thinking that he had written down the prescription verbatim, Wang Nanzhou immediately beamed, hugged his son, and invited his brothers to watch a play at Huzhuang Temple.

But Wang Chengzhou had lost his mind.

After bidding farewell to the father and son, we rushed home and it was already afternoon.

As soon as he arrived in the alley, he saw a bicycle parked outside the door, and Wu Guoshan was squatting on the ground smoking.There was a beautiful girl standing next to her, looking up at the sun intently.

The master and apprentice have always had bad tempers. It is estimated that Luan Hongying came up with this trick to alleviate the embarrassment.

But, if you stare at the sun in broad daylight... won't your eyes get dizzy?Could it be said that my senior sister has already mastered martial arts and is extremely talented, and will not be affected at all?
"Who?"

Reality immediately gave the answer.Hearing the footsteps, Luan Hongying turned her head quickly, blinked her needle-like pupils, and shouted stupidly.

"I!"

Wang Chengzhou almost laughed out loud. He didn't expect Comrade Luan Hongying to have such a cute side.

"You kid is back!"

Wu Guoshan rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to his maverick apprentice. Instead, he threw the cigarette butt to the ground, stamped it out, and said hurriedly.

　Brothers, something happened today. Let me update first.
