Chapter 219: Tong Yao's Third Character (V)

After returning to the medical institution, Xiao Qin quickly entered into research mode, comparing the scanned text with materials of similar texts, and speculating on the period when this text was formed.

If we can find this, the clue will be clear.

Ye Xuan felt that the characters all looked the same and he really couldn't understand the meaning behind them.

He printed out the scan and compared it with the ancient prescription.

Well, there is nothing similar. I don’t know how they figured it out. Why can’t I understand it?

"Senior, the order of these words seems to be messy at first glance, but there seems to be a special arrangement." Xiao Qin explained the words he circled to the other party one by one.

"I see," the other party said with a hammer, "In fact, there was no big problem with the initial translation, but that person lied to me, saying that he didn't know how to read it - in fact, there was a template for this reading hidden in that room a long time ago!"

Xiao Qin nodded. This was what he wanted to say.

The senior’s ability to understand is indeed very strong.

Ye Xuan walked around the table twice, blocking the way of several researchers.

However, they did not intend to conflict with traditional Chinese medicine, but chose to take a detour.

The laboratory is so spacious, it's not like there won't be enough space if one more person goes around in a circle.

Text researchers may have known something a long time ago.

The prescription uses medicinal materials unique to this city, which means that this ancient prescription is a local heritage.

And that person is most likely studying the local unique writing system.

Ye Xuan also knew that some regions would use their own unique written records. It didn't matter if they were not widely circulated, as long as the readers could understand them.

However, many characters have lost their meanings in the course of history and have become “dead characters”.

Some people think that such words are actually good because their meanings no longer change.

The meanings of some characters have changed to the point where even the ancients could not recognize them, both good and bad.

He wasn't sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, he just wanted to find out what the notes on the prescription said.

This concerns the new medicine developed by Xiao Qin, so we cannot be careless.

"Senior, this is an ancient nursery rhyme," Xiao Qin said with a strange expression, "I have learned this nursery rhyme before."

His childhood was a bit fragmented. He experienced both rich and poor times, and the education he received was also very different.

He could no longer remember where he had learned that nursery rhyme, he only remembered that it contained the first words he had learned.

This "earliest" was extremely meaningful to him, so even if he did not use it when looking up ancient books, he would still study the changes and evolution of that word throughout the ages.

And that word appeared more than once in the nursery rhyme, which was why he could tell that what was on the paper was indeed the nursery rhyme.

That is an extremely rare usage, and many people believe it is the product of a recording error, after all, it does not conform to the word order at the time.

However, this usage does exist in the local dialect, but many experts and scholars have not paid attention to it.

Ye Xuan became interested in the nursery rhymes. He had never seen Xiao Qin act so "childishly".

Isn’t it true that young Qin reciting nursery rhymes must be very cute?

When I was a child, I didn’t seem to have read many nursery rhymes. I only remember there seemed to be some in elementary school textbooks.

I want to know what it's about. It has nothing to do with prescriptions or words. I just want to understand the nursery rhyme.

Xiao Qin seemed to have seen through the other person's thoughts: "How about I recite it again?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately greeted with applause.

Well, there is absolutely no way to refuse, so just memorize it.

No matter which ancient poem I have forgotten, I will never forget this ancient nursery rhyme.

After reciting it, he looked at his senior a little nervously.

He didn't know what reaction he expected from the other party, but it would probably be the same compliment as usual.

But when I recited it for the first time as a child, I was not praised.

It seemed like someone was crying.

Who is it?

After listening to it, Ye Xuan discovered that this was actually a nursery rhyme related to medicine.

He can match the names of medicinal herbs one by one based on his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. By comparing the ancient names with the current ones, it seems that the herbs on the prescription are there!

Could it be that this is also a matching set?

What a coincidence!

However, coincidences are inevitable in this world.

"Xiao Qin, have you noticed that the content of the nursery rhyme is the same as..." He didn't finish his words because he saw the other party nodding with a hint of heaviness.

What's wrong with this kid?

The professional child-comforter thought of something and belatedly praised: "Let's not talk about that for now. Xiao Qin, you can still recite nursery rhymes so smoothly now, which is amazing! I was also a fast learner when I was a child, but I can't remember many of them now. This is what you learned when you were a child, right? The fact that you can remember it now shows how smart you are!"

Sure enough, after being praised, the child's face instantly improved.

Do geniuses also need people to praise them?

Hiss, it seems that for every person who praises Xiao Qin, there will be people who criticize him, and once the praises are offset, it doesn't count as praise anymore.

He didn't understand why the outside world was so malicious towards this child.

If a teenager can achieve such an achievement, the only reason not to praise him highly is probably because you are worried that he will regress due to pride, right?

However, there was no need for Xiao Qin to even advise him to "be humble and not be too arrogant". After what happened last time, it was already good enough that he did not belittle himself.

He wished that the child would be more confident!

Xiao Qin knows the order of the nursery rhymes by heart.

According to the texts he translated, by matching them one by one, we can basically guess the order of arrangement.

Ye Xuan felt that he had witnessed a very difficult puzzle.

And he still couldn't understand it.

No, how did this result come out?

How many skill points does this genius have?

I thought I was a specialist, but turned out to be a generalist.

How many surprises does Xiao Qin have that he doesn’t know about?

"Senior, I roughly know what the annotation means," the young man smiled, "Thanks to that person's arrogance, he didn't think we had the ability to decipher the correct order. The translated words are all correct, otherwise I wouldn't understand some of the key words."

The text researcher lost, not because of the talent of the genius Qin, nor because of the skills of traditional Chinese medicine, but because of his own underestimation of the enemy.

Underestimating the enemy is harming yourself, and you must always be wary of the "enemy".

After thinking about this, Ye Xing was impressed that he had actually gained the trust of his "enemy".

The other party believes that young people do not understand ancient traditions, and this is the most outrageous mistake.

I wonder how many inheritors of intangible cultural heritage are young people. It has become quite popular in recent years.

He had thought about learning a skill before, but his clumsy hands were incurable.

The Chinese medicine practitioner's hands are very dexterous, giving him the feel of a master of hidden weapons.

And since he can even find government agencies, it's hard not to suspect that he has some side job.

Xiao Qin wrote down the translated content and read it out loud: "This medicine is very effective, but it causes dizziness in spring, diarrhea in summer, blurred vision in autumn, and fever in winter."

It’s all side effects, and it changes with the seasons!

He was a little unsure whether it was the right decision for him to develop this medicine.

This is indeed an effective ancient medicine, but it has too many side effects, and the main problem is that it is uncertain.

Some patients may be able to tolerate one of the side effects, but there are almost no patients who can tolerate all four.

Although it is an independent attack, it does not look good. If it were printed on the instructions, no one would choose it.

He didn't understand why there was such a strange side effect, which was not seen in any of the drugs he had developed before.

Side effects like drowsiness are probably the most common ones he has seen. At most, it causes dizziness, but some patients choose not to take the medicine for this reason.

Ye Xuan was stunned after hearing this.

Is this a cure or a cause of disease?

No, what disease is this medicine for? Why would anyone take it when it’s so troublesome?

And it’s an ancient recipe that has received great acclaim!

He even suspected that there were professional internet trolls who gave fake positive reviews in ancient times.

Otherwise it’s hard to explain.

If you think about it carefully, the saying “All medicines are poisonous to some extent” is really true. Which of these does not look like the symptoms of poisoning?

Tsk, you really can’t take medicine randomly, let’s just put our hope on immunity.

Xiao Qin thought about it for a while and finally figured it out. If the prescription of the predecessors was perfect enough, then there would be nothing for him to do.

Isn't it improvement that we should do?

Not only the appearance of the medicine and the way of taking it should be considered, some side effects should also be eliminated if possible.

The ideal result is to only retain the drug effect, but this is not so easy to achieve.

He has studied medicine for so many years, not to replicate ancient medicine.

Innovation, scientific research must bring forth new ideas from the old.

Seniors will also support him.

He is not alone.

Sometimes, even if there were many people in the lab listening to his instructions, he still felt that he was moving forward alone.

But after the senior appeared, he felt like someone was walking in front of him and guiding him.

Yes, he didn't want to be pushed forward by the people behind him, and he didn't want to be pushed to the front when problems occurred.

He just wanted to walk, but he didn't want to walk without direction.

It would be great if someone could lead the way.

"Xiao Qin, do you still insist on making this medicine?" Ye Xing was a little hesitant.

If "Genius Qin" had made this kind of medicine, he would definitely be criticized.

He didn't want the child to be harmed by those people.

"Yes," Xiao Qin looked into the other person's eyes very seriously and said, "Senior, I want to make better medicine. These are the cornerstones left by our predecessors, and what I want to build is a tall tower."

The towering tower may be a healing landmark for patients.

Ye Xuan silently repeated "White stones build white tower, white tower build white stones" several times, but he still didn't understand Xiao Qin's specific meaning.

Has his comprehension declined?

It seems that the gas in the dark room still has some effect on me.

"No matter what, I will support you." The Chinese medicine doctor said to the boy.

This was the only purpose of his coming here, he wanted to help the other party no matter which path the other party chose.

There are many kinds of medicine in the world, and there are countless combinations of Chinese medicine, so it doesn’t matter if you change the prescription.

On this road, what matters is not how fast you can go, but how far you can go.

In terms of speed, Xiao Qin is already one of the best, but it still depends on the distance.

He hopes that the other party can continue to move forward, and if he loses the motivation to move forward, he can also help the other party regain confidence.
