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

Chapter 286 Pretending to be happy

Everyone put Lu Youda down from the wheel together, and the yard was already crowded with villagers watching the excitement.

"Water, mother, give me some water."

Lu Youda stood flat on the ground, but couldn't help but slumped to the side. If no one was there to support him, he might have started spinning in circles, "I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty!"

After hearing this, everyone was very sure that he was indeed well, and couldn't help but look at Wang Chengzhou together.Those who were laughing at him just now were now so shocked that they were completely speechless.

In particular, Gouzi and other villagers who helped subdue Lu Youda were about to worship him as a god. After hearing the village chief's words, they didn't dare to make the decision themselves and looked over together.

Wang Chengzhou looked at Lu Youda, who was almost exhausted but looked calm, nodded, waved and said, "Go ahead and bring a ladle of cold water to Village Chief Lu."

It was only then that Lu Youda realized something. He gradually understood that the reason why he was able to wake up from the chaos was entirely due to the little brother in front of him. He couldn't help but nodded to him with some gratitude.

Wang Chengzhou smiled indifferently and said to himself that Village Chief Lu was quite friendly after he recovered.

In fact, it’s more than just kindness?

Lu Youda drank a large gourd of cold water, exhaled a long breath, and glanced around, he saw his haggard wife and children in the crowd.He was so excited that he dropped his horse and ladle to the ground, and walked up step by step. He wanted to say something, but his lips were trembling and he couldn't utter a word.

His wife Julan covered her mouth and began to cry.Seeing that her husband was finally back to normal, the torture and panic she had endured over the past few months could no longer be suppressed and turned into tears pouring down her face.Under the firelight, the tear stains were crystal clear, making everyone feel sad.

"Mom... I'm afraid."

When the little girl, who was three or four years old, saw him coming, she was so frightened that she shrank behind her mother's legs and looked at her father through the gap. Her little face was full of fear, her mouth tightened, and she burst into tears.

Lu Youda's outstretched arm froze, and he couldn't control his emotions at all. A seven-foot-tall man burst into tears in front of the whole village, old and young.

"Be good, don't be afraid. Dad has been cured by that little uncle and will never beat or scold you again."

Seeing the guilt on her man's face, Julan felt soft, and immediately squatted down to coax her child, "Can you let daddy call your name? Dad must have remembered you."

The little girl was still crying with her mouth open.

Mrs. Xu looked sad and kept wiping her eyes with her sleeves.

"Lu Chunhua, little Yaya..."

Lu Youda bent down and shouted softly, tears flashing in his eyes.

"father!"

When the little girl heard him calling her baby name, she finally believed that her father was back. She screamed, fluttered her short legs, and flew into his arms.

"Yiya!"

Lu Youda picked up his daughter and let her lie on his face, so excited that she couldn't control herself.

The family stayed warm for a while, then came to Wang Chengzhou hand in hand. Lu Youda bowed and finally knelt down.

"useless!"

Wang Chengzhou quickly grabbed him.In front of the whole village, he, a village chief, knelt down with himself, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. It really didn’t look good. “Village Chief Lu, you just treat illnesses and save people. That’s what a doctor is supposed to do. There’s no need to do this.” .”

"Brother, for an expert like you, it's just a little effort to pull me back from the abyss, but for my parents, wife and children, you saved a whole family!"

Lu Youda was very excited and did not allow him to shirk at all. He knelt down heavily and said, "Look at the situation in this yard. I know what our family has been living these past few months."

"My mother, my wife, and my daughter have endured so much suffering, hired so many doctors, and spent so much money to save me."

"If I hadn't met a strange person like you and turned into a lunatic that everyone hated, I'm afraid that would have been the only fate for me, Lu Youda."

This was said so sincerely that the young and old men held up torches and their eyes were red.

"It's just that I really didn't expect that there is such a strange doctor as you in the world, who can actually cure a madman by spinning in circles."

Lu Youda escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, finally relaxed, and said with a big smile:

"I was tied to the wheel of the car just now. I really wanted to curse my mother."

"I have to say, brother, you are really good at tormenting people!"

"Thanks to my good health, if it were anyone else, I would probably vomit gall."

Everyone laughed.

The doctors from those county hospitals looked a bit ugly.

Combined with what Lu Youda just said, wouldn't they become quack doctors who wasted patients' money and delayed other people's medical conditions?

Wang Chengzhou scratched his head and smiled, never expecting that this Lu Youda was such an open-minded and cheerful man.

Think about it and you will know how courageous it is to be able to withstand the pressure and mobilize all the young and old men in the village to dig and level the land in the wind, snow and cold for several winters in a row like this.
If you don't have some personality charm, I'm afraid you won't get the support of everyone at all.

Therefore, he did not put on airs and explained calmly:
"Brother Lu, the reason why I torment you so much is actually because I have no choice. Before, Aunt Xu has found many doctors to look at you, and there are many smart people among them. For example, the one who wants to use cinnabar, musk, bezoar, and pearls The doctor who will help you regain your consciousness."

"It's just that they were right about your condition, but they were a little timid. Your madness was caused by the accumulation of phlegm, which clouded your mind."

"This phlegm is different from the phlegm we understand in daily life. It is actually caused by problems with the metabolism of body fluids in the human body, and water and dampness gather together. Any problem with the function of any organ may cause the formation of phlegm. .For example: the circulation of the lungs, the transportation and transformation of the spleen, the diarrhea of ​​the liver, the transformation of qi by the kidneys, and the transmission and distribution of the triple burner."

"The reason why Brother Lu developed a mania, became hot and dry, lost contact with relatives, and had stronger energy than others, was because the phlegm stagnated in the yang branch, causing the yangming meridian to have excess qi, and the yin could not overcome the yang, and eventually the pulse flow was forced Urgent, suddenly mad."

"The most fundamental way to treat madness is to clear away the phlegm that is stagnant in the yang and clouds the heart orifices. If the phlegm is relatively light, general aromatic drugs can really achieve the effect. But if The phlegm is relatively heavy and difficult to come out, so some extraordinary measures need to be used."

Lu Youda's mouth twitched and he continued, "Brother's special method is to tie people to the wheels of a cart and spin them around in circles?"

It seemed that the horrific experience just now left a huge psychological shadow on him.

The old and young men in the yard listened with great interest and burst into laughter when they heard the words.

"Ahem, of course! This method is more effective and saves money."

Wang Chengzhou smiled awkwardly, hiding his intention to correct him, and said seriously:
"I can indeed achieve the same effect through acupuncture and prescriptions. However, Brother Lu has been crazy for several months, and the family has been overwhelmed."

"Aunt Xu and Sister-in-law Julan are already on the verge of collapse. In order to get you to wake up as soon as possible, I can only do this." "Actually, this is called the vomiting method, which has been around since ancient times. Unfortunately, no one dares to use it now. There are fewer and fewer people.”

Lu Youda patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!"

"Brother, I'm just complaining. In fact, your vomiting method is used at the right time. If you give me a prescription for medicine, I'm afraid I really can't afford you the money for the medicine given my family's situation!"

Everyone laughed together again.

"Village Chief, what you said is not false. In order to treat your illness, Aunt Xu sold all your beloved horses, but it was still not enough. She borrowed money from everywhere all day long. However, these are nothing. The main reason is that you are crazy After I dropped it, I was so stupid that I smashed everything in my house. To be honest, if you can't afford the medicine, you asked for it."

I don’t know which guy is so good at talking, making everyone lean forward and back.

Lu Youda's face darkened, he poked his head around and threatened in a serious manner:

"Gouzi, is this your kid?"

"Okay, just wait for me!"

"You dare to call me stupid, right? Tomorrow I have to give you a tigress as your wife, and let her take care of you every day!"

Everyone laughed so hard that their torches trembled, as if the heavy night couldn't cover up the joy in their hearts.

"Da Lu, stop being poor!"

An old man took the opportunity to shout and instigated:
"Why do I always feel like I'm dreaming?"

"You bitch is right, you don't know what you will become after you go crazy! Even three or four young men can't hold you down, and you are singing in operas and having sex at the same time. It's really like that spirit possessing you. It’s so scary! The little teacher said this is a disease, why don’t we believe it so much!”

"Isn't it true that he made a magic circle and cast out the dirty things on your body?"

Superstitions are more serious in rural areas. After hearing this, everyone calmed down and stared with bright eyes.

The torch crackled, and from time to time there was an explosion in the air.

"Brother, was I really that evil before?"

As the village chief, Lu Youda had received organizational materialist ideological education, so he naturally didn't believe it. However, in order to dispel the doubts of the villagers, he still proposed with a smile:
"How about you tell everyone about it?"

"Take this opportunity to let your sister-in-law Julan prepare a table of meals. We must treat you well tonight."

"If you don't explain it clearly, some people will always be nagging in their hearts. At least, there are still people who think that the reason why I went crazy is because I destroyed the feng shui on the hillock and caused some unclean things!"

This Lu Youda is extremely thoughtful.He had just woken up and had already sorted out the situation in the village, as if he was using Wang Chengzhou's prestige to clear his name.

Wang Chengzhou smiled casually, but he didn't care much.

After all, he quite liked this courageous and somewhat quick-witted man.And there’s nothing wrong with taking the opportunity to spread the word for yourself.

Immediately, he cleared his throat and said loudly:

"I said before that Village Chief Lu Youda suffered from phlegm stagnating in the Yang points, which caused the Yangming pulse to be strong. Regarding the foot Yangming pulse disease, our ancestors had related it thousands of years ago. explanation of."

"All kinds of weird phenomena occurred after Village Chief Lu went crazy. The emperor and Qi Bo had a similar conversation."

"The Emperor said: Good! If you are seriously ill, you will abandon your clothes and run away, climb high and sing, or even go to the house without eating for several days. The places you climb are beyond your ability. What is the reason for those who are sick but can't do it? ?”

"Qi Bo said: The four branches are the root of all yang. When the yang is strong, the four branches are strong, and it can actually climb high."

"The emperor said: Why did he abandon his clothes and run away?"

"Qi Bo said: The heat is strong in the body, so he abandons his clothes and walks away."

"The Emperor said: Why do you speak nonsense and curse people, and sing songs without avoiding relatives and strangers?"

"Qi Bo said: If Yang is strong, it will cause people to speak nonsense and curse words, not to avoid relatives and strangers, not to have the desire to eat, not to have the desire to eat, so they will walk around rashly."

Wang Chengzhou just had a meal. After he was satisfied, he analyzed it in words that everyone can understand:

"Whether it's going shirtless, going up to the house, climbing on the roof, or running around, it's all caused by the excessive yang energy of the Foot Yangming Vein."

"Yin is the body, and yang is the function. The yang in the human body can be simply understood as strength, energy, and energy. Hyperactivity of yang means that a person's strength, energy, and physical fitness have increased abnormally, so the strength will double. On weekdays, A house that cannot be climbed inside becomes like walking on flat ground after getting mad.”

"Of course, as yang rises and yin falls, the yin and yang in the human body are in balance. Yang hyperactivity often comes at the expense of true yin. A madman's abnormal energy and strength actually come from the overdraft of vitality."

"That is to say, if Village Chief Lu continues to be crazy, he will definitely die young. Have you ever seen any lunatic who lives a long life?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Lu Youda was even more frightened.

These words are really not false at all.In daily life, no manic psychotic patient has ever lived long.

Aunt Xu and Sister-in-law Julan couldn't stand any longer, and hurriedly called and prepared the meal. They sincerely wanted to thank the little doctor who saved them from the fire and water.

People in the village knew that their family was almost on the verge of bankruptcy and living in dire straits. Everyone in the village began to donate money to help them tide over the difficulties.

After all, the cheerful, wise and generous Village Chief Lu is back, right?
As long as he comes back, this family is still full of hope.

At this time, it was probably eight or nine o'clock in the evening, night enveloped the earth, and the entire village was sealed in darkness.

After Lu Youda knew that those doctors in white coats were doctors from the county hospital, he was very enthusiastic and did not look down upon them because of their incompetence.It was already getting late, so they wouldn't be allowed to leave no matter what, and they had to sit down and drink together.

However, a few people in white coats really had no shame in sitting with Wang Chengzhou, so they declined and left in a jeep.

Before leaving, they intentionally called Chen Weihong.

But that boy Chen Weihong had a bright face, and he was already drunk even before he drank.

Where do you have time to deal with them?

——Thank you to Brother Xuan Yuejin for the 100-point reward!
