Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 7
Cheng Jisheng was an impatient patient. Although he was not young, he ran very fast, and even ran to the city gate in one breath.As soon as I got to the gate of the city, I saw the closed city gate, and then I remembered that the city gate was closed, and it would not be opened until tomorrow morning.

Cheng Jisheng was sweating profusely, so he found a rock at the gate of the city and sat on it to catch his breath.A guard at the gate recognized him, hurried over to say hello, and asked Doctor Cheng, what's the matter with you, what are you doing at the gate in the middle of the night?
Cheng Jisheng didn't hide anything, he just told the story.From this point, one can see a person's character. If it were someone else, let alone rushing out of the city in the middle of the night, they wouldn't even mention the wrong medicine.But Cheng Jisheng said everything in detail, and asked the guards to accommodate him, if he could open the city gate a little and let him out secretly.

The guards didn't dare to let him out, but they were very moved by his anxious patient.A guard came up and said: "Cheng Miracle Doctor, in fact, there is another person outside the city who is sweating like you and can't enter the city. We seem to be your fellows. I don't know what's urgent. If you don't We didn't take it seriously when we came here, we remembered it when you came, and that little guy is still squatting outside the city gate!"

Hearing what he said, Cheng Jisheng stood up abruptly, feeling dizzy for a while, thinking: "It's bad, it seems that something happened to the young man of the Wang family!" Let me go out of the city to see a doctor for the young master of the Wang family, that young master... Sigh!"

"I can't blame you, they are the ones who took medicine indiscriminately!" The guard said, "We dare not open the city gate, but it is still okay for you to go up to the city and say a few words, why don't you ask you?" What the hell happened to the little boy?"

Cheng Jisheng hurriedly said: "Thank you, brother!" He followed the guards up to the city wall.The guard yelled at the top of his voice, woke up the boy who was squatting at the base of the city wall, and spoke to Cheng Jisheng.

The boy under the city was the one who came out of Wang Ping'an's house. He hurried all the way to the gate of the city, but the gate was closed, so he had to wait outside the gate, planning to rush back to the pharmacy as soon as the gate opened tomorrow morning.At this time, seeing his husband coming in person, he quickly jumped up and told the story with a straight voice.

Cheng Jisheng supported the battlements with his hands, and he was very surprised after hearing it, thinking: "Impossible, there is no reason why my prescription is not easy to use. It is a Cheng prescription, which has been passed down from generation to generation since the Han Dynasty. Dysentery is absolutely effective. I haven’t cured 100 people over the years, and there are 90 to [-] people, and I haven’t missed half a time. How can it not work this time?” He was puzzled, and he didn’t speak for a while.

But he didn't speak, someone else did.The guards guarding the gate were listening, and one of the guards shouted, "Who am I to say? You see, the young man surnamed Wang is able to get out of bed, but isn't he panting heavily and speaking urgently and quickly?"

The boy below recalled that he was panting heavily, but he didn't speak in a hurry and quickly. He said: "It seems to be panting..."

The guard above shouted before he could finish his sentence: "That's right, this is called back to the light, when my grandfather passed away, this happened, this is the confession of the will, the young man surnamed Wang must be the same so!"

His voice was so loud that there were two guards guarding the gate of the city, and few of them paid attention to this side. Hearing his yelling, they all came over and asked what happened.This guard is very fond of chewing his tongue, adding oil and vinegar to things, adding a lot of his own imagination, and so on.After hearing this, the guards comforted Cheng Jisheng, saying that he was not to blame for this incident.

Cheng Jisheng had great confidence in his prescription, thinking that it might really be a flashback.Thinking of this, he became even more anxious, he had to go out of the city, it was a life, if he went there in time, he might be able to save it!
The guards couldn't hold him back, so they had to find a big basket and drag him down with a rope. The young man caught him outside, and the two rushed to Wuli Village overnight.By the time we arrived at Wuli Village, the moon had passed and it was already midnight.

Coming outside the gate of Wang's house, Cheng Jisheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, we walked fast and arrived in time." He didn't hear crying from inside the house, so he assumed that Wang Ping'an was fine, otherwise he was the only son of the Wang family. Once they died, the Wang family would have to cry out loud, it might be so quiet.

The young man stepped forward and slapped the door knocker, the door creaked open, and a head poked out from inside, it was the doorkeeper servant.The gatekeeper was surprised when he saw Cheng Jisheng coming, he hurriedly invited him in, and rushed to the back house to report.

Not long after, Wang Youcai came out, he had already rested, his son was in good condition, and he was also in a good mood, he slept very soundly that night, he was suddenly called up by a servant, saying that Cheng Jisheng had arrived, so he came out to have a look.As soon as he came out, he saw Cheng Jisheng sitting in the porter's room, his clothes were soaked and his originally beautiful beard was also disheveled.

Wang Youcai was so sophisticated, how could he not understand why Cheng Jisheng came here so late, he was moved in his heart.Originally, he had a bad impression of Cheng Jisheng and hated him for prescribing the wrong medicine for his son, but now that Cheng Jisheng came late at night, he couldn't say anything to blame him!

Seeing him coming out, Cheng Jisheng hurriedly said, "Master Wang, I was afraid that something might happen to your young master. I rushed here overnight. The guards brought him down from the city gate with a big basket. He came in a hurry. I hope you don't take offense!"

Wang Youcai sighed, and said: "Chengshen...Mr. Cheng is so kind, how can I take offense!" I wanted to call him a miracle doctor, but I changed my name temporarily and changed my name to Mr. Cheng.

Cheng Jisheng said: "I want to see the young master, is it convenient now?"

Wang Youcai thought for a while, nodded and said, "You come with me!" If Mrs. Yang came out to meet guests, she would definitely say no, don't disturb her son at such a late hour, but he must be more talkative, so he took Cheng Jisheng there the study.

Wang Ping'an went to bed early, and Ding Danruo slept in the outer room. When he heard his master came, he hurriedly opened the door and let Wang Youcai and Cheng Jisheng into the study.The lights in the room were turned on, and Wang Ping'an woke up.

Cheng Jisheng was also polite, walked quickly to the side of the bed and sat down, gently took out Wang Ping'an's hand from the quilt, and felt his pulse.Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "This is Cheng's miracle doctor, right? This person is not bad. He came here in the middle of the night because he was afraid that something might happen to me." He immediately had a good impression of Cheng Jisheng.

Cheng Jisheng frowned, and after squatting with one hand, he clasped the other, and it took him a long time to let go, when he suddenly sneezed.Wiping the corners of his mouth, stroking his beard, he said, "It's weird!"

Wang Youcai hurriedly said: "Why is it strange, but the condition has changed?"

Cheng Jisheng nodded, and said with doubts in his eyes: "It has changed, it has changed for the better! What, what's going on?"

Only then did Wang Youcai breathe a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "You were gasping for breath when you spoke, but I was startled." He said triumphantly, "Mr. Cheng doesn't know, but my son was cured after a long illness in Ping An, and I read a prescription from a book. , take the medicine according to the prescription, one dose is effective, the disease is already cured...almost cured!"

Cheng Jisheng snorted, and said, "My lord, you really took the medicine in that prescription, so you're fine? I've read that prescription, and it's a solid one. It doesn't affect your condition. Big is not good! What kind of book are you reading, can you borrow a certain view?"

Wang Pingan sat up and thought to himself: "Where can I find that book for you? You want to read it but I don't have a book for you to read!" I forgot which book it was."

Cheng Jisheng glanced at the thousands of volumes in the study, frowned, and said: "Every prescription must have instructions on how to use it. I think the young master has seen it. And your prescription is open to me. The prescriptions are completely different, and the effects are completely different, would you like to argue with Cheng?"

Wang Ping'an was overjoyed. In modern times, he rarely had the opportunity to differentiate syndromes with others, but syndrome differentiation is an extremely important part of TCM treatment. It can analyze symptoms and make a clear diagnosis. Through syndrome differentiation, doctors' medical skills can be greatly improved.In modern times, there are very few chances of this kind of dialectical differentiation with people face to face. It is impossible to think of the Tang Dynasty, but there is a genius doctor who is willing to differentiate his syndrome with him.
He immediately nodded and said: "Okay, why don't you invite a genius doctor to differentiate the symptoms first!"

Cheng Jisheng shook his head and said, "I haven't cured your illness. I dare not call you a genius doctor. I came to see you a few days ago. I saw your pulse coming fast and fast, your tongue covered with thick dirt, your forehead was hot, and the temperature was not high. Retiring, so I judge that this is the mutual obstruction of the intestines and stomach due to the hotness and dampness, the proximate cause is the coolness on the outside, and the stagnation of food inside is triggered.

Wang Youcai, who was listening at the sidelines, was at a loss and didn't quite understand. He asked, "Mr. Cheng, you mean that Ping An didn't digest after eating, so he got this disease?"

Cheng Jisheng frowned deeply, and wanted to shake his head, but also wanted to nod, feeling like he was playing the piano to the cow.Looking at Wang Ping'an with his eyes, he thought to himself: "Even if this child has read medical books, he probably just flipped through them casually. Can he understand what I say?"

But Wang Pingan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, Mr. Cheng is right."

Cheng Jisheng lifted his spirits, stretched out four fingers, and said, "I use the four-character therapy, the internal heat is expressed externally, isn't it?"

Wang Pingan nodded again and said, "That's right, Mr. Cheng's method is absolutely right!"

Wang Youcai clapped his hands, and said loudly from the side: "Since everything is good, how can it not be cured?"

Cheng Jisheng stared at Wang Ping'an's eyes and said, "Can you clarify?"
