Chapter 58 Concubine's Conspiracy

Next, it was our classmate Zhuang Lianzhi's turn to be unlucky. His illness almost killed him this time. It turned out that one day, Zhuang Lianzhi suddenly started to have a stomachache. This stomach upset was extraordinary, how serious was it?It is so severe that no matter what kind of food, as soon as you swallow it, you will feel pain like a needle prick in your throat, and then your stomach will be full of cramps, but this kind of pain is very special. According to the original words of the medical records, it is "full of cramps", It is estimated that no one wants to try this kind of pain, and then feel that "the gas in the abdomen rises from the left first, and then rises from the right, and it is dense all over the abdomen". At this time, I can't wait to go to the toilet. That was really "painful diarrhea", the anus felt like it was on fire.

As soon as I came back, there was another rumbling in my stomach, and then I rushed to the toilet again. It is estimated that at that time, I wished I could live in the toilet and not come out. So what are the diarrhea?Everything is like clear water, with a layer of white oil. In addition, what I eat and diarrhea are not digested. This unprecedented diarrhea has made Zhuang Lianzhi miserable, even in his sleep, he will have diarrhea and be in a mess. My God, it seems that a stomachache can also torture people to death! So hurry up and ask a doctor, one of these doctors said it was fasting, another said it was heat, and another said it was cold, but they prescribed all the medicines, but none of them had any effect.

After nearly a month like this, we look at our classmate Zhuang Lianzhi again. He was quite fat at first, but now he is so thin that he almost has no flesh. At first glance, he looks like a ghost. Zhuang Lianzhi's wives didn't know what their reaction was, but his old mother was very sad. It was "looking at each other day and night, wailing to the sky, wishing she could replace her with her own body". It just so happened that at this time, Miao Xiyong passed by the Golden Altar by chance, and Zhuang Lianzhi heard that Teacher Miao, whom he had been thinking about so much, was coming again, as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly sent someone to invite Miao Xiyong.

After Miao Xiyong came, he saw that Zhuang Lianzhi was really pitiful at this time, how did he become like this? Zhuang Lianzhi cried out about his illness, and showed Miao Xiyong the dozens of prescriptions he had taken. How much is it used for?” Then he examined Zhuang Lianzhi's pulse and found that the pulse was large and numerous, and he knew that Zhuang Lianzhi's body was a heat syndrome at this time, although he didn't know how this heat evil was caused (this is a mystery, I will discuss it later) I will reveal it to everyone), but as long as there is heat, wouldn’t it be enough to remove the heat?

So, a prescription was prescribed: coptis, white peony root, orange red, plantain seed, white lentil, white poria cocos, dendrobium, roasted licorice, it is such a simple prescription, in which there are medicines for clearing away heat and yin, strengthening spleen and promoting dampness Yes, Miao Xiyong's treatment idea is, I don't care what your heat syndrome is caused by, I just need to clear away your heat evil, protect your spleen and stomach, and your body will recover by itself. He also specially instructed that after the medicine is decocted, it should be cooled with cold well water, and then mixed with a cup of child's poop, so that it can be taken. (It is estimated that the little boy in Jintan is also starting to be in demand)

Then, I specially told Zhuang Lianzhi: Don't let other doctors see the prescription I prescribed, otherwise they will "laugh out loud" when they see it (because other doctors will definitely think that such a small prescription Zi, can it cure diseases), if you want to live, just stick to this prescription. Zhuang Lianzhi quickly nodded in agreement, and then drank the medicine at night. After drinking this medicine, Zhuang Lianzhi felt like drinking a mint drink. The refreshing feeling of summer came straight to his heart. It can be used for reference), with this medicine, I slept peacefully until dawn that night, and did not have diarrhea again.

After taking Sanfu, the stool is basically normal. When I was sick, as long as the food was warm, I felt very uncomfortable. I had to eat it cold. Now, I suddenly feel that the food is cold and I can’t do it. I want to eat warm food. Seeing this, Miao Xiyong said that it was because the heat evil had been cleared away. So, I added a little medicine to tonify the spleen and stomach in the previous prescription, and left Jintan and returned to Changxing. What does Zhuang Lianzhi, who is recovering from a serious illness, look like at this time?I saw his "dove-shaped face", walking outside and seeing a former acquaintance, everyone stuck out their tongues in fright—how many days can this person live?

A month later, Miao Xiyong came to Jintan again. Zhuang Lianzhi frowned and said to Miao Xiyong, "What should I do? My spleen and stomach haven't recovered yet. Now when I drink some water, I feel like my stomach is bloated. It's going to split and I don't have any appetite, can you think of a way?" Miao Xiyong said: "It's because you have had so much diarrhea and hurt your yin qi. It is not suitable to use decoction at this time, because it needs to be recuperated slowly. Let me prescribe you a pill." So a prescription was prescribed: ginseng, white peony root, roasted licorice, schisandra, astragalus, dogwood, yam, rehmannia glutinosa, achyranthes bidentata, and Ziheche.

This is the prescription, among them, ginseng and astragalus are nourishing yang qi, which can strengthen the yang qi of the spleen and stomach, and white peony root harmonizes yin and blood. White peony root and roasted licorice are Zhongjing's peony licorice soup, which has sour and sweet flavors. The beauty of yin, dogwood, yam, and rehmannia nourish the liver, spleen, and kidney respectively. Ziheche is the placenta. Europeans will never eat this thing, but we Chinese believe that it can greatly nourish the vitality of the body. Among them, schisandra restrains the lung qi and nourishes the five viscera. Because the lung and the large intestine are on the outside and inside, it can also restrain the qi of the large intestine. Achyranthes bidentata is used to strengthen the waist and legs. It must be that Zhuang Lianzhi even has a problem standing at this time.

Zhuang Lianzhi has been taking this prescription for three years. With the help of this prescription, Zhuang Lianzhi's body recovered as before. Many years later, Miao Xiyong discovered that Zhuang Lianzhi still kept this prescription, "like a treasure, treasured ten times". However, this story is not over yet, the funniest part is behind. When recovering, Miao Xiyong, based on the principle of curing illnesses and saving lives, said to Zhuang Lianzhi: "If you want to be healthy, you should stay away from women for a period of time, so that your body will recover well. You see You are so weak, it would be bad if you get close to women again."

Zhuang Lianzhi asked suspiciously: "How long will it take to abstain from womanizing?" Miao Xiyong made a conservative estimate and said, "It will take a year anyway." Who would have thought that Zhuang Lianzhi is a person who trusts Miao Xiyong so much that he would even overcorrect, but he turned his heart and said simply, since the boss has spoken, then I will resign all these concubines ! Unexpectedly, Miao Xiyong's persuasion played a bad role in destroying the family. It can also be seen that women at that time had no status, like something, they resigned when they said goodbye. (The cause of the concubine's concubine) No one expected that after the concubines had all left, the servants below dared to speak, and someone reported that Zhuang Lianzhi's diarrhea was the conspiracy of a certain concubine. (To the best of my family's private schemes) It turned out that for some unknown reason (it was not ashamed to record it in the literature), a concubine put crotons in Zhuang Lianzhi's food, which caused our classmate Zhuang Lianzhi to almost die from diarrhea. Oh my god, it turned out that Zhuang Lianzhi almost bang his head against the wall: how kind I am to them! Ladies and gentlemen, we must not underestimate this croton. Whoever thinks he wants to play tricks should put some in his dish. You need to know that this croton has a strong mucous membrane stimulating effect. It can also kill people. There has been a record that twenty drops of croton oil can kill people. Generally, when croton is used in traditional Chinese medicine, the oil is squeezed out with tissue paper, then wrapped with yellow wax, and then taken with great caution, because it has a strong purging power. It seems that Zhuang Lianzhi's dear concubine is still relatively serious. Zhuang Lianzhi finally realized: Having too many wives is not a good thing, and if you don’t manage them well, you will kill yourself! However, I did not write this medical case to discuss the serious consequences of having too many wives (now you have no chance), but to say that this medical case embodies the typical thinking of traditional Chinese medicine in treating diseases. When an external evil comes, in fact, Chinese medicine often does not know what it is. For example, Miao Xiyong never thought that it was the reaction caused by croton. However, the thinking of Chinese medicine is, no matter what you are, I just need to observe What kind of reaction did you cause in the human body? If what you caused was heat syndrome, then I will help the body to clear away the heat. In this way, the body will recover by relying on its own strength, and the disease will be cured as a result. This is The general treatment idea of ​​this disease is also one of the modes of TCM treatment. Later, Zhuang Lianzhi no longer missed the happiness in the secular world, and devoted himself to learning. He followed Miao Xiyong to study, and he completed the supplementary part of "Xian Xing Zhai Medicine Guang Notes".
