Chapter 163 Chinese Medicine Hall

"Hey, Xiao Jiang? How did you find time to call me? Is it because your disappointing teacher is giving you something to do, and you don't want him anymore?"

In order to find a suitable channel for Xia Wu to grow herbs, Jiang Xun found an old man named Qin Yi from his contacts. This old scholar and Jiang Xun's mentor were enemies. The two were of similar age and had similar achievements, but the work of Jiang Xun's mentor and Qin Yi was somewhat different.

Qin Yi is a fan of ancient methods. He is particularly interested in China's long-standing ancient technology. When he was young, he wanted to promote the country's vigorous development of traditional Chinese medicine. However, as Western medicine became more popular, the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine was interrupted, the quality was uneven, and it was declining. Everything he did was in vain.

Qin Yi has always believed that Chinese medicine is good and mysterious. If the right person embarks on the path of Chinese medicine and studies it seriously, the role a good Chinese medicine doctor plays in treating patients will definitely not be worse than Western medicine.

However, his theory is good, but it lacks empirical evidence.

In recent years, there are fewer and fewer good Chinese medicine practitioners in China. In some Chinese medicine mouthpieces, the role of Chinese medicine has been exaggerated, which has directly had a counterproductive effect and made some people become Chinese medicine haters.

These quarrels have never stopped. After retiring, Qin Yi resolutely devoted himself to the research of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine. After meeting Jiang Xun, he praised Jiang Xun for being young but able to patiently do research in the mountains. He believed that Jiang Xun was a good successor and even tried to poach him in front of his mentor.

The end result was that the two old men had a huge quarrel.

Jiang Xun admired Qin Yi very much. Qin Yi had a carefree spirit and a ruthless determination to succeed. In short, he did not show the indifference of an old man at all.

Jiang Xun smiled and explained that he had no plans to change careers for the time being. However, he had recently been doing research in the mountains near Tong City and had discovered a very good Chinese medicine doctor. The doctor was in his seventies and had been a barefoot doctor before. He taught himself Chinese medicine and was very famous in the surrounding area.

Qin Yi sneered when he heard this, "He's a liar pretending to be a liar, right?"

It's no wonder that Qin Yi would be suspicious directly. He has seen too many doctors, and most of them are just unqualified, deliberately mysterious, and deceiving.

Why is it that when a Chinese medicine doctor has many patients, some say that he has excellent medical skills, while others say that his medical skills are not good?

Because Chinese medicine is like this, the same disease may manifest differently in different people. In addition to syndrome differentiation, the cause must also be identified. However, most people who study Chinese medicine can only memorize prescriptions and symptoms, and then when they catch the patient's symptoms, they desperately look for prescriptions to follow.

Take the simplest cold as an example. In the past, people didn’t pay much attention to it. The symptoms of a cold were just those: fever, cough, sneezing, and runny nose. The medicines prescribed by the doctor were similar. Western medicine prescribed medication for mild cases and intravenous drips for severe cases.

But in fact, colds are divided into wind-cold and wind-heat. The symptoms of these two types are different, so the corresponding medicines must also be different.

Some Chinese medicine practitioners only know the surface and blindly prescribe cold medicines without studying hard. They just want to make a quick buck by luck all their lives.

The more Qin Yi came into contact with the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the more he felt that most people in this circle were not up to the mark. If Traditional Chinese Medicine continued like this, it might really be extinct in two or three generations.

He often felt regretful. The more he studied, the more he felt that he was too old. He only regretted that he had not switched to specializing in traditional Chinese medicine when he was young.

After seeing Jiang Xun, he told Jiang Xun a lot of his inner thoughts, most of which were about traditional Chinese medicine. He felt that Jiang Xun was like himself when he was younger, and hoped that Jiang Xun could make up for his regrets when he was young and change careers as soon as possible.

Jiang Xun heard his elders say this, knowing Qin Yi's temperament, and explained seriously: "No, Grandpa Yang is a highly respected old Chinese medicine doctor. His reputation is all earned by treating patients. There is no health center in this village. I heard that the villagers don't trust the health center. They think that they are not as good as Grandpa Yang's medical skills. Later, they couldn't continue to operate the health center, so they closed it."

Jiang Xun told Qin Yi that recently a young man who had uremia came to see Yang Hongen for treatment. As a result, he is now almost recovered and looks no different from a normal person.

After he said that, Qin Yi became interested.

Jiang Xun said that his friend, Yang Hongen's granddaughter, wanted to rent a mountain to grow Chinese herbal medicine and was also recruiting Chinese medicine apprentices in order to pass on Grandpa Yang's medical skills.

Jiang Xun felt that Qin Yi should be interested in this, so he decided to come over and take a look at the situation.

When it comes to growing Chinese herbal medicines, Qin Yi can definitely help.

After all, compared with Jiang Xun, Qin Yi is the real expert who has devoted his entire life to this field.

After hearing this, Qin Yi immediately decided to rush there as quickly as possible.

"Send me the address, I'll buy a ticket, and go see it myself. If it's really like you said, this doctor is a miracle worker!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yi, who was taking care of his green ivy that was about to grow into a Monstera, hurried to the study.

His wife is a retired special teacher. She was watching a documentary on TV while knitting. Through her glasses, she saw that he was in a hurry and muttering something, but she didn't say anything.

After Qin Yi bought the plane ticket to Tong City on the computer, he came out happily, dancing with joy and saying, "Cui Ping, I'm going to Tong City tomorrow. Xiao Jiang told me that there's an old Chinese medicine doctor there who's recruiting students, and asked me to go check it out."

Zhang Cuiping said "hmm", "When will you be back?"

"Not sure yet. If that person is a liar, I will come back earlier."

"Didn't you promise our daughter last month that you would go abroad to see her and her grandson? Are you regretting this?"

Qin Yi sat down on the sofa, thought for a moment, and sighed, "I shouldn't have listened to you in the beginning and insisted on sending her abroad. Now, she's staying there and won't come back. You even want me to go see her. Don't think I don't know that you guys are trying to trick me into going abroad and not letting me come back."

Zhang Cuiping had lived with her husband all her life and knew that he was a very old-fashioned person. She advised him, "You have made a lifetime of contribution to the country. Now you are over 70 years old. It is time to enjoy the happiness of family. When my daughter was young, you stayed in the mountains for months or even years, so my daughter rarely saw you. There are so many young people now, like Xiao Jiang. With young people like him around, what use is an old man like you? Just listen to my daughter and go abroad to see the world."

Qin Yi was speechless. This was his lifelong weakness, and every time he thought of it he would feel sorry for his daughter.

But at that time, he had no choice.

"Okay, I'll just take a look and be back in a few days."

"Okay, then I'll have my daughter book your flight abroad for you."

"Let's settle it!" Qin Yi muttered, and Zhang Cuiping showed a helpless smile on her face.

The next day, Qin Yi took his two closed disciples and flew to Tong City. After flying for two hours, they took a taxi and finally arrived in Donghua Town.

At that time, Donghua Town was under road construction, and there were iron sheets everywhere, making a lot of noise. The environment was really not good.

Jiang Xun came to greet them, bringing Xia Wu with him.

Xia Wu stepped forward to greet and shake hands with Old Man Qin Yi. She was wearing jeans and a tight vest, with her ponytail tied up, looking dashing. "Grandpa Qin, welcome to Donghua Town. My name is Xia Wu."

"Director Qin, this is my friend."

"Xia Wu, these two are my senior brothers. His name is Zhao Xiu, and this one is Li Hui."

The other two young men looked to be in their twenties or thirties. They were not wearing glasses, had dark skin, carried large bags, and seemed to be walking very fast. They did not look like doctors at all.

Xia Wu greeted them and didn't waste any time. He asked everyone to get in the car. Since there were many people to pick up, Xia Wu didn't drive a bucket truck, but drove Ji Yunzhou's luxury car instead.

Zhao Xiu and Li Hui looked at each other and felt that the girl in front of them was really extraordinary. They heard that she was going to grow some Chinese medicinal herbs. It seemed that her family had a mine.

No wonder he can drive such an expensive car.

After leaving Donghua Town where the road is under construction, the air becomes better and the scenery becomes more pleasant the further you walk towards the village.

Qin Yi looked at the mountains outside the window and said, "Are you doing research here?"

"Yes, we just discovered purple fir last month, and a group of monkeys came down from the mountains not long ago. I've already reported it, and the local forestry bureau has also assigned rangers. I think the ecological environment here will recover better in a while."

"If I remember correctly, there used to be pandas in this mountain range."

Zhao Xiu suddenly said.

"Yes, there are records of pandas appearing in Donghua Town in the 1950s and 1960s. However, after the poaching incident, pandas disappeared from this mountain range."

"It's such a shame! If the pandas could come back, maybe this place could be designated as a nature reserve."

Xia Wu was driving while listening to the big guys talking, and was extremely surprised: "There are pandas here?"

"yes."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Isn't that what's happening now? There's no need to talk about it."

Xia Wu black line.

But it's true, she is very busy every day and has no time to chat with Jiang Xun.

She also began to fantasize that it would be great if pandas could return to this land.

After all, no one hates national treasures!

"Little girl, is it you who wants to grow Chinese herbal medicine?"

Qin Yi asked Xia Wu.

Xia Wu nodded and briefly talked about the situation at home.

Qin Yi expressed his understanding, and then became more and more eager to meet Yang Hongen.

It takes about ten minutes to drive from the town to the village. Xia Wu drives slowly. It is summer vacation now and children are running everywhere. Maybe a little cutie will suddenly jump out on the road, so there are speed limits for taking photos on the road, and sometimes large vehicles are restricted from entering and leaving the town.

If it wasn't to pick someone up, Xia Wu wouldn't drive.

She has decided to use a bullock cart to pick someone up next time.

Knowing that there would be guests coming today, Yang Hongen did not go out to see the patients. He stayed at home and let the patients come to him.

When Qin Yi and his companions arrived, Yang Hongen was treating a patient. The bamboo roller shutter was tied up with ropes, so the situation inside the room could be seen from the outside. Yang Hongen was sitting at a wooden table in front of rows of medicine cabinets. The wooden table had been used for who knows how many years and was worn out by people polishing it.

The room was filled with the special aroma of Chinese medicinal herbs, bitter and intoxicating.

Just by sitting there, Yang Hongen gave people the feeling of an immortal, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a genius with superb medical skills.

Qin Yi's eyes lit up.

Let’s look at Yang Hongen taking a person’s pulse. Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning and palpation when treating patients.

The first thing to look at is the patient's appearance, facial features, mental state, and whether his steps are firm or unsteady.

The second step is to smell. The smell of the patient is also an important indicator of medical treatment.

The next step is questioning. Many highly skilled doctors can have a basic understanding of the patient's condition with the first two steps, but they cannot make a diagnosis easily. They must ask the patient about his condition in detail.

The last step is to cut, which means taking the pulse with both hands.

Yang Hongen is an experienced old doctor, but his attitude towards treating patients is still very solid. He takes the pulse and asks questions before making a diagnosis.

"You don't have any serious problems. It's not high blood pressure or high blood sugar. You're in good health. You can live another thirty or forty years without any problem." Yang Hongen withdrew his pulse-taking hand and crossed his fingers. "But it's the middle of the day. Who sent you out to pound rice? You've got heatstroke! If you came any later, it would have been heatstroke. The treatment is very simple. Drink some Huoxiang Zhengqi water and get some air conditioning in the room to cool off. Don't make the mistake of working in the scorching sun next time!"

The patient was a woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties. The person accompanying her was a younger girl who was probably still in college.

Hearing Yang Hongen's question, the girl finally lost control of her anger and said, "I told you not to do it, but you insisted on doing it! What on earth do you want to do?"

The woman felt extremely aggrieved and complained to Yang Hongen, "Look at what kind of girl I have. She said she wanted to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, and then she said I didn't care about her when she was a child. Now that I don't care about her anymore, I'm pounding glutinous rice cakes for her in the scorching sun, and she's angry with me again. Sigh... I won't live that long. It's meaningless."

My daughter was like a lit bomb, about to explode.

Who knew that Yang Hongen was quicker than her and said to the woman seriously, "Your idea is wrong. I think your daughter needs medical treatment more than you do. If you continue to be so angry, she will probably get a gynecological disease."

The woman was horrified: "She's still a young girl, how could she have a gynecological disease?"

He turned to his daughter and said, "I didn't send you to college to fool around. If you dare to fool around, I will break your legs!"

Everyone present was worried about the young girl and could almost imagine what kind of life she was living at home.

The daughter sobbed, as if she was furious. She was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. The woman kept chattering, refusing to give in. "Speak!"

My daughter's hands were like chicken claws and she couldn't breathe. It was obvious that she had respiratory alkaloid poisoning.

Only then did the woman realize something was wrong and quickly called Yang Hongen to check on her daughter.

After Yang Hongen gave the girl a few injections, she looked much better.

But with a mother like this, even if she can survive today, she won’t be able to survive the next few decades.

Yang Hongen said to the woman, "Mei, listen to what your uncle says. You should use your brain. If you continue to be so stupid, your daughter will probably die of your stupidity."

After hearing this, the woman dared not say anything but was angry, simply because Yang Hongen was so prestigious. They all grew up under his medical care and had received his kindness. Even if someone pointed at her nose and scolded her, the woman did not dare to refute. She could only say that she only had this one daughter and she definitely hoped for her daughter's best, but her daughter did not appreciate it.

Yang Hongen helplessly told her to talk less in the future, and to find a job instead of being idle at home, and not to worry about the children's affairs. Her daughter could do whatever she wanted, and she didn't need to interfere in anything. Her daughter would definitely live a better life than if she were to take care of her.

Mei said that was impossible because her daughter was still young.

Yang Hongen turned around and asked her daughter, "Are you still young? I think you can find a job to support yourself. You're just sitting around at home doing nothing. Do you want to find something to do? I'll give you a salary!"

Mei's daughter lay on the bed, feeling depressed. In fact, if her mother hadn't threatened to commit suicide on the phone, she wouldn't have wanted to come back from school.

Living with her mother 24 hours a day has made her depression worse.

Mei has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

But when she heard that her daughter could earn money right at home, she quickly urged, "Your great-grandfather is asking you a question, hurry up and tell me!"

Yang Hongen frowned and glared at her: "What did I tell you? Don't interfere with what the child does! If you really have nothing to do, go out and work in a factory to save money for your daughter's dowry!"

Mei retracted her hand and muttered, "My head still hurts."

"If it hurts, go back and take medicine."

Yang Hongen rudely drove the guest away.

Mei left, but her daughter was left behind to continue her medical treatment.

Xia Meng appeared out of nowhere, eating a small pudding ice cream cone, and said to Xia Wu with lingering fear: "That woman just now was so scary. You came back too late. I don't know what happened just now..."

Mei can make the lawless Xia Meng exclaim in horror, so you can imagine how terrifying a person he is.

Some perverts have no idea how horrible kidnapping in the name of love is, especially when it comes from loved ones.

"Her depression has probably manifested itself in her body. Look, she's like a wooden figure."

Qin Yi looked for a long time and noticed the girl's situation.

At first, the girl was only suffering from respiratory alkali poisoning. To put it bluntly, her emotions were too excited, which exceeded the human body's tolerance. Her body was under stress and she couldn't breathe. After Yang Hongen gave her a few injections, her respiratory alkali poisoning was alleviated a lot. Once her emotions calmed down, she became dissociated again, motionless, and seemed to have no response to anything happening in the outside world.

It looks so pitiful.

Yang Hongen then inserted a few more silver needles into the girl. After a while, the girl closed her dull eyes, as if she had fallen asleep.

Yang Hongen picked up a few herbs and handed them to Qi Wei, who was standing beside him. "Go and boil the medicine and feed it to her."

After he finished all this, Qin Yi walked in clapping his hands, his eyes full of admiration.

"Xiao Jiang really didn't lie to me. There really are many experts among the people!"

Qin Yi naturally started a conversation with Yang Hongen. Once the two of them started chatting, they lost track of everything and had a very interesting conversation.

Zhao Xiu and Li Hui were also there to accompany them, and soon they went to see Qi Wei boiling Chinese medicine. Xia Wu had nothing else to do, so he took out a watermelon soaked in well water, cut it in the kitchen, and brought it over to entertain the guests who had come from afar.

Qin Yi ate a few slices of watermelon and exclaimed that they were delicious. He couldn't help but eat five or six slices before he started talking about health preservation and nonsense about how he was getting older and his health was not good.

"I heard you want to grow your own herbs?"

Yang Hongen nodded in agreement. "This was my eldest granddaughter's idea. I said the quality of herbs these days is getting worse and worse. They're all grown in greenhouses and have little medicinal properties. Plus, the ecological environment is severely damaged, and the professional herbalists who used to collect herbs are gone. So she thought of renting out the unused hills in the village and growing herbs in a natural way."

Qin Yi nodded. Yang Hongen's opinion coincided with his. He also felt that many people nowadays were too impetuous and even dared to take drastic measures against medicinal herbs.

"You may not know that China, the birthplace of traditional Chinese medicine, now has to rely on imports from the Sakura Country for its medicinal herb cultivation. People there value traditional Chinese medicine more than our young people do. How sad!"

For an older generation like Qin Yi, who has truly come through family feuds and national hatreds, who would want to be suppressed by the Sakura Country, especially when it comes to the inheritance of the orthodox culture of their ancestors?

He and Yang Hongen were like soulmates who had met each other in the mountains and rivers. The more they talked, the happier they became. Yang Hongen invited Qin Yi to stay at his home and asked his son and daughter-in-law to kill a chicken to entertain the guest.

Qin Yi was completely impressed by the hospitality.

He was impressed that Jiang Xun was really good at finding a place. Yanggou Village was really great, with outstanding people, warm villagers, and hidden masters. The food and drinks were good, and he slept soundly at night.

Not to mention that he went to personally explore the second hill that Xia Wu wanted to take charge of the next day. This mountain was next to Yantou Mountain, smaller than Yantou Mountain, and had not been developed. In the past, villagers would go up the mountain to chop firewood, but now there were fewer people chopping firewood. The whole mountain was lush and green, with luxuriant vegetation, and the sunlight coverage rate was only about 30%.

For some Chinese herbal medicines that prefer a humid environment, it is simply the most suitable place.

Xia Wu has already discussed with the villagers and decided to rent the former firewood mountain in Yanggou Village at the same low price as Yantou Mountain, and to grow Chinese herbal medicines here.

Qin Yi was infected by them and suddenly felt that his dream had the possibility of coming true. When drinking to celebrate at night, he did not hesitate to make a big statement, saying that he would stay to provide them with technical guidance. The salary did not matter to him, as long as he could be provided with food and accommodation, he would work here forever.

Yang Hongen was so happy that he held his hand with tears of gratitude and called him brother.

The next day, Yang Hongen was going to find someone to build a medical clinic in the village. He decided that he would continue to shine in the last few decades of his life, recruit apprentices, and pass on his skills. He couldn't let the Japanese devils from the Sakura Country carry forward China's things!

Isn't that a slap in the face of the Chinese people?

Qin Yi looked at the construction team that had arrived, finally sobered up, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh no, before he came, didn’t he promise his wife that he would only stay for a few days before leaving?

What should I do now?

Wang Baoyu is a college graduate majoring in pharmacy.

He graduated a year ago, but still hasn't found a good job. When he graduated from high school, his grades weren't ideal, and with no adult to guide him through college, he impulsively chose to study medicine, figuring that studying Traditional Chinese Medicine would be more valuable as he got older.

Who knew that for Chinese medicine apprentices with no background, this path would be a dead end.

After graduation, he could only work in a second-rate Chinese medicine clinic to cheat people, doing cupping, moxibustion, and even massage and bone setting for middle-aged and elderly people. When he was too busy, he was responsible for preparing medicines and boiling herbs. He worked hard for a month, and when he got the pay slip in the second month, he was disappointed to find that the salary was only 2345.7.

There are both zeros and integers, I thought it was a verification code.
