Chapter 221: Herb Picking: The Third Character (Part 7)
Ye Xing spent a long time looking through the information in the clinic, and he actually found something.
There are several prescriptions that look similar to the previous ancient prescription but are different, hidden in a very hidden corner.
Logically speaking, no matter how precious a prescription is, there is no need to hide it so deeply. After all, those who have the authority to come to this "library" are the orthodox descendants of traditional Chinese medicine.
However, it is not ruled out that he is looking for prescriptions for scientific research institutions, which is very novel.
In fact, he didn't understand how he found the recipe by prying open the floor tiles. Maybe he just thought of it in a flash.
Sometimes it's just a coincidence that when good luck comes, you can't stop it.
After comparing several prescriptions, he actually found clues about the four seasons of "spring, summer, autumn and winter".
There are several medicinal herbs in it that contain these words. Even if it is not so obvious, the meaning is there.
If someone who has no knowledge of Chinese medicine reads it, they probably won't think of this, which is another layer of confidentiality.
A recipe with such multiple protective features must be very important and should come in handy.
After entering the research institute, Chinese medicine was once again stopped by a few arrogant and stupid people.
"Hmph, you smell like medicine." The leader fanned his nose exaggeratedly, deliberately pretending to be disgusted. "I really don't know how the genius Qin can tolerate the smell of medicine on you."
Could you please stop being so dramatic?
Xiao Qin is also engaged in drug development, right?
Watching those people's performances, Ye Xing felt that his acting skills surpassed theirs.
Such a tactless person can continue to stay here. It seems that this top scientific research institution really does not care about too many personal relationships.
He didn't even bother to look at those people, and just walked away on his own, leaving behind only the unwilling and malicious discussions of those people.
This kind of people will get more excited the more you pay attention to them, and will feel bored if they don't get a response. Don't respond to them according to their expectations so that they can hold back their anger.
Instead of arguing with them outside, it is better to go back early and do serious work.
"Xiao Qin, look what I found?" The Chinese medicine doctor laid out several prescriptions he had collected one by one, and pieced them together into a map in the order of the four seasons.
This was the secret he discovered later, probably the so-called "treasure map".
"Senior, this is..." The boy pointed to a location on the map and said, "I've been here before."
It seems that there are indeed herbs in this place.
Ye Xuan didn't expect that the other party had already grasped the clue: "Oh? What's there?"
This is probably the key to solving many side effects.
"If there is anything there, it's actually just a mountain of wild grass. But I have seen people picking herbs there, so maybe there are really useful medicinal herbs there." Xiao Qin recalled carefully.
At that time, he had never been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine. When he saw someone picking wild grass, he asked curiously. Unexpectedly, the other party said that it was medicine.
As a genius in drug research, he is naturally interested in all "medicines".
However, he had never seen the process of picking herbs before, and his knowledge of medicinal materials was at most the extracted solutions processed in the laboratory and the related introductions in books.
This was a "medicine" that was quite far away from his scientific research work, so he didn't ask too many questions.
Traditional Chinese medicine has its own tradition. How can I, an outsider, learn it for nothing?
But now, the senior showed him all the "confidential documents" of traditional Chinese medicine. He was a little nervous at first, but later he slowly accepted this good intention.
The senior is also doing this for the benefit of all the patients in the city, and curing diseases and saving lives is his only pursuit.
If it is for the purpose of curing patients, then it should not be considered a "sin" for one to come into contact with the tradition of traditional Chinese medicine, right?
He didn't know, but he didn't think about it.
The most urgent task is to develop new drugs, and the source of the formula can actually be put aside for now.
But sometimes, he would wonder for a moment whether what he was doing was right.
Is he just repeating what others have said?
That prescription was not thought up by him, so now even the method of improving it has to rely on clues from the seniors?
"Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin?" He was called back to his senses, "What's wrong with you?"
Yes, I can’t let my seniors worry.
My senior did this with good intentions, and I cannot let him down.
In fact, he could come up with a solution on his own without relying on those things.
But the research cycle would be very long and today’s patients can’t wait.
He cannot delay the entire drug development process just to put himself at ease or to prove his ability.
We should feel fortunate to have a ready-made direction, after all, not everyone is so lucky.
The drugs that I developed in the past also went through countless trials and failures before they could be used in clinical treatment.
Although he is not very old, he has been in this industry for quite a long time.
There have been times when the pressure in scientific research is greater and the conditions are more difficult. This time, I have the help of my predecessors. If I still want to achieve something on my own, it would be too arrogant.
He is not a god, so it is impossible for him to come up with a panacea that can cure all diseases easily.
"Senior, I'm fine." He looked at the map and stopped thinking about it.
Let's go for it then. Now that we've come this far, there's no need to open up a new path.
Ye Xuan could see that this child was a little off the track.
Setting high standards for yourself can indeed be an obstacle at times.
After the zombie crisis was resolved, Xiao Qin regained his former confidence, but he also became a little more fragile in some aspects.
This kid is capable of researching good drugs, but too many people are waiting for him to fail.
Obviously, those who were saved might be their family members or even the people themselves, so why should we still look at researchers who are researching drugs with this mentality?
No, will these guys be satisfied only if the medicine is not made according to regulations and people die after taking it?
Then why don't they test the drug themselves?
He felt sad when he thought about Xiao Qin having to endure all this maliciousness.
Such a talented young man was traumatized by those mentally twisted and unruly people.
It’s infuriating, but it’s a foregone conclusion.
There are some things that leave an impact that cannot be erased after they have passed.
He could only try his best to help Xiao Qin gain more honors so that the glory could cover up the haze.
After packing their bags and explaining their work, the two set off.
It seems quite strange to go on a "treasure hunt" for the purpose of making medicine.
In short, they embarked on the journey of seeking a solution to the side effects.
However, this "road" does not seem to be so smooth.
When Ye Xuan used a silver needle to prick the third poisonous snake that was biting him, he realized that this mountain was not as quiet and peaceful as it seemed.
Well, let’s take the snake gall back and use it as medicine.
Xiao Qin also took some snake venom, which could be made into serum or something when he returned.
It can be said that everything is put to good use.
After the snake was almost cut into pieces, the Chinese medicine doctor noticed a bigger movement.
Those were the footsteps of a wild animal, but it could also be that the other party was delivering food.
With the fighting power of him and Xiao Qin, anything can be easily dealt with, right?
However, this would take too much time. They came here to collect herbs, not to hunt.
When everything was almost done, the bamboo basket originally intended for storing medicinal herbs was also filled with other medicinal materials.
The two of them weighed it and felt that they could still carry on, so they began to observe the herbs they had found by accident.
"Xiao Qin, is this what you saw at that time?" Ye Xuan compared it with the records in the data. "There is no picture, and the description alone is indeed similar, but if you pick the wrong one, it may produce deadly toxins."
They all work in the medical field and know that taking medicine indiscriminately will generally kill people, and it is almost impossible to cure a disease by accident.
Unless the disease can be cured by vomiting, and the body's instinct to reject toxins causes it to vomit after accidentally ingesting poison, there is a chance that the person can survive by chance.
If we want to wait until such a low-probability event occurs...it would be better to let the patient go back and fend for himself.
Giving up treatment is better than random treatment. The former can at least leave the body intact.
The boy read it over and over again. As a genius, his memory was far superior to that of ordinary people. Moreover, the incident had left a deep impression on him, and the appearance of the herb was also imprinted in his mind.
"That's right, but..." He hesitated for a moment, "Senior, is it okay for us to pick herbs in the wild?"
He had never had direct contact with animals and plants with medicinal value before, and the materials presented to him were always already refined and extracted.
He has not read the relevant laws and regulations on these.
"Of course, this isn't a protected plant," Ye Xuan pulled out his phone and flipped through a piece of news. "Look, this is the mountain, right? The city's official media is encouraging citizens to come here and dig wild vegetables to experience life. The species that can't be touched are clearly marked, and we didn't touch any of them."
Fortunately, he was well prepared. Xiao Qin had never dealt with these things before, but he had thought about them comprehensively.
The medicine they want to make needs to be able to be produced stably and continuously over a long period of time in the future. How can that be possible if it uses endangered species?
Of course, it is the "wild grass" that grows in the deep mountains and no one knows it. It looks insignificant, but as long as it is used properly, it is a good medicine to cure diseases and save lives.
We just need to collect those parts, and the information is not very detailed.
Some plants can be used as medicine as a whole, but some cannot.
If you come here just to pick a few leaves and then find out later that the leaves are useless, wouldn't that be a loss?
Well, let's dig up one or two plants first, and then make plans.
Anyway, I'm still exploring and trying it out bit by bit.
Ye Xuan carefully dug out a plant with its roots and soil, and after making sure that nothing was left out, he put it into a bamboo basket that was already eight-tenths full.
Not bad, it won’t be crushed even if it is placed on the top, and fortunately those animals appear at the front.
He asked Xiao Qin to dig two plants as well, which was basically enough for preliminary experiments and trials.
If it really works, they will come again.
However, it is better not to let those who are interested in this know the news, otherwise they might see a barren mountain with no grass at all.
