Chapter 133
After this scare, Chen Liu admired Xu Yi more and more. After getting to know him in many ways, he realized that Xu Yi was a doctor. He remembered that last month, his family had benefited from two doctors and got anti-cold medicine, which cured his wife's cold.
At that time, he was building a wall in a wealthy family's house and heard about it, but now he feels that it is a coincidence. So I ran home to ask my wife and learned that one of the doctors who delivered the medicine was named Xu and lived on East Street.
Isn't that Mr. Xu?
Chen Liu's body was surging with blood, and he felt grateful that both he and his wife had received life-saving grace from the other.
Therefore, Chen Liu went to ask Xu Yi face to face and confirmed that Doctor Xu was Official Xu.
Before that, Xu Yi handed over the snake he caught that day to Yu Qiulin.
Snake gall can be used as medicine, but it cannot be eaten raw. Xu Yi was not interested in using snake gall as medicine at first, but today he caught a lot of snakes, seven in size.
These snakes are venomous. Even if they are caught and stuffed in a sack, it will be difficult to open them for inspection.
Yu Qiulin didn't dare to catch it himself. He stretched out his hands to hold the sack, for fear that if he got closer, the snake twisting inside would go crazy and bite him.
"Brother Yi, don't worry, those snake catchers will handle the snake gallbladder, just leave it to them." Yu Qiulin confidently confirmed, picked up the snake and left.
Zhuangzi was in the eastern suburbs, far away from the city. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, but it didn't cause much excitement.
The servants living in the surrounding Zhuangzi saw that the house was not on fire and did not want to meddle in their own business.
The mother-in-law who was guarding Zhuangzi put her hands on her shoulders and patted her rapidly beating heart. Just now, she was really frightened.
The black snake was caught, but the eggs inside were still there. Xu Yi waited for the smoke to be extinguished by water, then went in to take a look and found that the eggs inside were all fine.
This snake egg is about to hatch and cannot be kept, but it cannot be disposed of in Zhuangzi.
Xu Yi was worried that there were hidden snake holes in other places in Zhuangzi, and he did not dare to leave the backyard alone so rashly.
That day, he asked the rough guys who came to work, but some wanted to stay.
Chen Liu was the first to sign up, and with him as the starting point, two more people also stayed behind.
The rough man, who was so frightened that his face turned white and had not yet recovered, did not stay. Xu Yi did not persuade him to stay, and immediately settled the wages for the past few days to him.
...
Five days later, all the weeds in the village were cleared. Xu Yi and the others found another snake hole under a corner. This snake hole only had a black snake with patterns and no eggs. They were killed on the spot. Xu Yi grabbed it with iron pliers.
This snake was also sent by Yu Qiulin to a snake catcher to cut open the snake's belly and take out the gallbladder. The snake catcher would tie the upper end of the gallbladder with a thread made of fine grass, then tie it into a knot and hang it in the air to dry.
Xu Yi and others only wanted the snake's gallbladder and nothing else, so the snake catcher didn't accept any money, but kept the snake meat and made it into dried meat.
As for the snake eggs, they were later given to snake catchers.
Snake catchers all like to eat snake meat, and naturally they also like to eat snake eggs. They wash them on the spot and boil them in a clay pot. After boiling and peeling off the shell, there is a small snake that has been formed inside. Dip it into the sauce and vinegar dish and say it tastes great.
The fields are cleared of weeds, sprinkled with thick firewood ash, mixed into the soil with a hoe, and allowed to ferment for half a month before sowing.
After all this tossing, time flew by to April.
In early April, Xu Yi had just planted the medicinal seeds suitable for spring sowing when news came from Shuntian Mansion.
Chunwei released the results.
When the Xing family's sons attended the Spring Festival, they were naturally thinking about the results. Less than half a month after the results were released, the Xing family in Yanting County received news that
Xing Yuesen had failed the results.
However, the letter sent by Xing Yuesen himself took a few days in the evening. After the messenger gave the envelope to the man who opened the door of Xing's house, he turned around and came to Xu's house again.
Xu Yi got the letter and couldn't wait to open it. The handwriting on the letter was not triumphant, but calm and restrained. Xing Yuesen told him in the letter that although he failed the exam, he was very ambitious and confident, and was not afraid of not being able to achieve anything.
Seeing that his friend's confidence was still there and that he had not been greatly affected, Xu Yi felt relieved.
He began to focus on what he was busy with.
It is not easy to cultivate medicinal materials. After the seeds were sown, new sprouts have not appeared for half a month.
As for the cultivation and planting of medicinal materials, most of them take several years to harvest. Xu Yi feels that he is still very young and has a lot of time to spend here, so he does not find it difficult.
He would stay in the village for half a day every day, recording the seed germination time, growth rate, how to water and fertilize, etc., and recorded them all in a special book.
Xu Yi never thought of leaving something beyond the times in this era. Yanting is indeed as Guo Zhongyou said, it is too small. Just because something isn't available here doesn't mean it isn't available outside.
In the Song Dynasty, medicinal materials were artificially cultivated and cultivated, but in Yanting, no businessman ever mentioned it.
After all, there is a lack of information. Even the Tao family and the Xin family do business outside all year round, so they still know very little about this kind of information.
But after all, Xu Yi traveled back in time more than a thousand years later. At this time, medical science was developing at a high speed, and medical talents emerged in large numbers, leaving behind many works that have been passed down for generations.
Compared with these predecessors, Xu Yi is like a pebble dropped into a deep pool without much splash.
Chen Liu, who was wearing shorts, ran over quickly and saw Xu Yi squatting beside the medicine field with his eyes down and writing something. He slowed down, stood up and shouted softly: "Mr. Lang, there are guests outside."
Xu Yi looked up and said, Putting away the pen and paper, he stood up and asked, "Who is it?"
Chen Liu responded, "It's Tao Langjun and Xin Langjun, the other one is unclear."
Xu Yi was confused. When Xin Shengyuan and Tao Qinghao came to him, They won't bring outsiders with them, and this time they will bring a third party with them. I don't know who it will be.
He rolled up his sleeves, put a pen and paper into Chen Liu's hand, and ordered him to put it in the study while he went to see the guests in person.
Xu Yi walked briskly to the front of the court and saw three people walking side by side in front of him. Xing Yuesen was walking in the middle, his steps were windy and his air was high.
Seeing Xu Yi coming towards him, Xing Yuesen smiled at him and shouted loudly: "Brother Yi."
"Brother Xing?" Xu Yi looked happy.
He was so busy that he was so busy that he forgot about the time until May.
Xu Yi raised his hand to hold Xing Yuesen's arms, looked at him with his eyes, and looked at his gentle and smiling face. He saw a trace of fatigue in his eyes, but he was in good spirits. He thought he was not tired from the journey, so he should be walking back slowly.
"Brother Xing is back, why didn't you give me a letter?" If he knew he was back, Xu Yi would definitely go to the city gate to pick him up.
Xing Yuesen smiled bitterly and said, "I came back after failing the exam, so don't make a big fuss."
Xu Yi sighed softly when he heard this, but he immediately asked with a smile: "What are your plans for coming back this time?"
Xing Yuesen said, "I originally wanted to be here. I continued studying at the county school, but I stopped by Zizhou Mansion for a few days and visited Mr. Lu, the professor at the Fu School. Mr. Lu wanted me to stay at the Fu School. "
"This is a good thing," Xu Yi said very much for him. I am happy that it is better to go to Fucheng to study than to study in Yanting County. There are many talented people there and the teachers are more famous than those in the county school. Being able to be taught by famous teachers, it is only a matter of time before Xing Yuesen wants to pass the Jinshi examination.
However, Xing Yuesen was hesitant.
A group of them came to the hall. This is Xin Shengyuan's Zhuangzi. He was originally very familiar with Zhuangzi, but since Xu Yi rented it, he has made great changes to Zhuangzi. The building has not changed much, but its use is changed.
There was originally a tea room on the left hand side, but it was converted into a study room by Xu Yi. On the right hand side, there was originally a small room where the female envoys used to rest while serving, but now it has become a "research room". When they first heard about the research room, they did not know what these three things were. The meaning of the word.
Later, when they saw Xu Yi playing with something with a growing medicinal plant, they gradually understood.
Of course, everyone’s focus is not here at this time.
But in the case of Xing Yuesen, Tao Qinghao and Xin Shengyuan didn't understand why he was still hesitating when there was such a good opportunity.
"Xing Wu, don't you want to go further?
" Give him a look and tell him to stop talking.
Xin Shengyuan glanced at him and snorted: "Am I wrong? Xing Wu, you are different now. You can't continue to be so willful."
Xing Yuesen's years of upbringing prevented him from acting rudely, but he still He rolled his eyes in anger at his yelling.
"When have I been more willful than you? You have always been like this. If you don't learn well, you will blame me."
Xin Shengyuan was completely immune to his words: "If I don't learn well, it means I don't have the talent." "If you don't learn well, it's intentional."
Xing Yuesen shut up, not wanting to argue with him.
Tao Qinghao was more reliable than Xin Shengyuan. He cleared his throat and asked Xing Yuesen: "Is it because of your family that you are hesitating now?"
Xing Yuesen looked up at him and nodded silently.
Tao Qinghao's eyes were stunned. Since that incident, he and his mother had not seen each other for several months. He suddenly heard that his friend was hesitating about his future because he cared about his family, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"If you are worried about my sister-in-law and brother Yuan, then take my sister-in-law and brother Yuan with you to Zizhou Mansion. With the Xing family's financial resources, it is not difficult to buy a house in Zizhou Mansion."
Xu Yi's eyes fell on the two of them. On the body, Xing Yuesen was faintly moved by these words.
He said: "If you don't stay long, you don't need to buy a house. You can just rent a yard near the mansion."
"Yes, the house price in Zizhou mansion is not low, so buying it is a bit redundant." Tao Qinghao immediately clapped his hands and agreed with Xu Yi. idea.
After all, this was a major matter related to the imperial examination. Xing Yuesen was still undecided. He could not make the decision alone. He had to discuss it with his family before making a decision.
"That's all, I won't bother you with such worries anymore." Xing Yuesen took a deep breath, his eyes gradually clearing, and he looked at Xu Yi with a smile, "I just came back and I knew from the two of them that you were planting seeds in Zhuangzi. Medicinal materials?"
Speaking of this, the other two were also very interested.
"When I heard that this medicinal material can still be cultivated by humans, I always found it incredible." Tao Qinghao sighed with emotion.
While Xu Yi and Xin Shengyuan were busy with Zhuangzi's affairs, he was shutting himself in the room and feeling sorry for himself.
When he regained his energy and took the initiative to look for them, he realized that they were cooking up such a big thing.
Xin Shengyuan immediately explained: "I didn't interfere."
Xing Yuesen asked: "Has it been planted?"
Xu Yi looked stunned when asked, and said: "I'm afraid it will take a few more years."
Everyone was silent: "... ..."
They never thought that growing medicinal materials would take such a long time. They thought that they could harvest twice a year just like growing vegetables, fruits and crops.
Seeing this, Xu Yi had to teach them how to grow medicinal materials. In fact, not all medicinal materials take such a long time.
Some medicinal materials only need one year to be harvested, but some require two to three years. For precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, it may take more than ten years from planting to harvest.
In addition, trees with medicinal herbs such as Eucommia ulmoides, Phellodendron cypress, and cassia bark cannot be planted overnight. They can grow for decades or even more than ten years.
After listening to Xu Yi's popular science, their doubts were solved, and they suddenly felt that there was knowledge everywhere in this world.
Without what Xu Yi said, they probably wouldn't be able to read it in the book, and their knowledge of growing medicinal materials is so profound.
"Brother Yi's words have really benefited me a lot." Xing Yuesen sighed, "I thought wrong before. Since I want to study for fame, I have to give up something. But it's hard to have both in the world, but you don't have to make choices everywhere. . Although the university is good, it may not be suitable for me."
Xu Yi was surprised: "Why do you think so suddenly?" Xing Yuesen shook his head: "I had
already noticed it."
In Zizhou Prefecture, he now had the honor of being a civil servant. When he arrived at the place, he went to see the local edict.
Although Na Lu Jiaoyu wanted to recruit the world's most talented people and wanted to recruit him to study in the government, he also invited him to go to the government school to have a look. But after entering the Fu School, Xing Yuesen saw two things.
First, a student knocked a book from another student's hand. Instead of apologizing, he accused the other student and even insulted him. But when Lu Jiaoyu saw it, he only scolded him softly without any punishment.
Second, they went to the cafeteria to eat. The cafeteria was divided into two areas. One area was where the rich and powerful children ate, and the other area was where most of the children from poor families wore coarse clothes.
Just like this, Xing Yuesen had the idea of retreating.
He thought that in the county school in Yanting County, although Fang Jiaoyu had sharp words and was merciless to students who made mistakes, Fang Jiaoyu was a gentle man and treated everyone equally.
If he had to choose who to be his teacher, Xing Yuesen would prefer Fang Jiaoyu.
But he was greedy for the teaching resources of the government school, which led to hesitation.
Now that I heard Xu Yi's words, I suddenly woke up. If it was for temporary gain, I would have lost something more important.
.The
time has come to June, and the hot summer is approaching.
On this day, Xu Yi returned home after staying in Zhuangzi for half a day. As soon as he entered the house, he heard noise from behind.
He stopped, looked back, and saw two people supporting a man with a strange expression and a piece of wood in his mouth towards his home.
One of them saw Xu Yi and shouted loudly: "Doctor Xu, save this person quickly."
Xu Yi knew this man. He lived on East Street, but not in the same alley. He was a neighbor of the Li family. They had met each other. edge.
"Go inside first." Xu Yi glanced at the man with his eyes tightly closed and his eyelids twitching, and led them in without much expression.
Seeing that the patient was unconscious, A Xu immediately ran to the kitchen to get a basin of water.
Xu Yi told him not to do anything, and only asked the two people to put the patient on the bed.
As soon as the man got on the bed, he curled up into a ball, his limbs trembling and twitching, his ears couldn't hear anything, and there was no response when he was called.
The two people who brought him here were sweating profusely, and they were tortured by him. When they saw the man let go, they stepped forward to suppress him.
This time, they were stopped by Xu Yi.
Xu Yi looked at them and said: "This is epilepsy. During the attack, he is unconscious and has seizures. In severe cases, he may self-mutilate. You are right to stuff wood into his mouth so that he will not bite him." My own tongue."
Xu Yi felt sorry for his teeth when he saw the deep bite marks on the wood.
When the patient wakes up, his teeth and cheeks will be sore for a long time.
In ancient medicine, epilepsy, madness, and epilepsy are three different diseases with different causes.
The patient who was brought here today, judging from the symptoms, is a type of epilepsy.
Once his attack is over, the person will slowly regain consciousness and regain control of his limbs.
But at this time, we are in the midst of an attack, so we cannot ignore it.
Xu Yi laid the patient down as flat as possible and loosened the slant-collar gown on his body. He was wearing a cool summer shirt. This pull directly exposed his flat chest. Xu Yi was unmoved and turned the patient's head to one side, trying not to let the patient's head fall. He had vomit blocking his airway, causing him to suffocate.
The seizure continued for some time, and the patient's clonus gradually subsided.
Slowly, the patient calmed down and stopped twitching.
Xu Yi stepped forward, raised his hand and brushed his wrist, taking the opportunity to diagnose his pulse.
The pulse was chaotic, rising and falling, and intermittent. It seemed that it was affected by clonus and had not yet calmed down.
Xu Yi looked at the two people standing anxiously and asked: "When did he have the attack?"
"We were walking on the road and planned to find a tea shop to cool off, but he suddenly fainted halfway and was still lying on the ground. The ground went crazy." One of them was still frightened when he recalled the scene just now.
He stroked his chest and gasped. Seeing that his friend had calmed down, he continued worriedly, "We thought that he had had this disease once before, and we knew it was an illness. We also saw him biting his tongue, fearing that he would bite it. After biting it off, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth."
Xu Yi's eyes twitched when he heard it.
During the clonic phase, you cannot forcefully open your mouth to insert anything. These two people accidentally saved each other's life, which is considered lucky.
Another companion answered: "Fortunately, we are not far from Dr. Xu's home, so we dragged him here."
"Doctor Xu, his illness..." They looked at each other hesitantly and asked. The worry in his heart, "Can his disease be cured?"
Xu Yi said solemnly: "It is difficult to eradicate the root cause."
I am afraid that it is not possible to completely cure epilepsy, but it can be controlled to prevent the disease from continuing to be severe and reduce the probability of occurrence. Still no problem.
But... the prerequisite is that the patient must wake up.
It was getting late, an oil lamp was lit in the room, and the patient lay on the bed. It took a while to fully wake up.
When he woke up, he saw this unfamiliar environment and exclaimed with some fear. Suddenly he saw his friends there, and asked them in shock: "Where am I?"
"At my house." Xu Yi came over and looked at him He said, "You're feeling better now that you're awake."
"Doctor Xu?" Lin Zuotang was a little surprised when he saw who the person was.
Unexpectedly, his friends would bring him to Xu's house. They often passed by Xu's house but never came in.
Lin Zuotang got up from the bed apologetically, put on his shoes, and saluted, "Thank you, Doctor Xu, for taking me here. It's getting late, and we have to go back."
"Zuotang." The friend next to him suddenly stopped him.
Lin Zuotang looked at his friend in confusion, wondering why he suddenly stopped him.
The friend pulled him to the side and whispered: "When you were in a coma, we asked for you. Doctor Xu can cure epilepsy. Although he can't cure it, he can suppress it and prevent it from happening."
Lin Zuotang looked angry . Suspicious, he has met so many doctors for this epilepsy, but they all say that there is no cure for him. Because of this disease, he has not been married yet. How can a young doctor believe it casually?
So, he blurted out: "Do you believe this?"
"Why don't you believe it?" His friend's eyes were full of concern. Seeing his attitude, he quickly said, "You don't know that Dr. Xu is very capable. You are unconscious." Then he gave you a needle."
"A needle?" Lin Zuotang was confused.
However, after being told by a friend, he realized that when he woke up from this attack, he had no other physical discomfort and was much more relaxed than before.
Could it really be the effect of some kind of acupuncture?
Lin Zuotang returned to Xu Yi with doubts. He looked approachable, with a faint smile on his face. He shook his head. The doctor looked younger than him.
"Doctor Xu, can you really cure my disease?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "This disease is difficult to cure, and I am not sure that I can cure your disease. However, although this disease is difficult to cure, it can alleviate the symptoms and make the disease better. It alleviates the attack."
After saying these two sentences, Xu Yi said no more.
He left time for Lin Zuotang to make a decision. He came out of the ward, returned to the main room, and asked A Xu if the food was ready.
After a stick of incense.
The three of them came out of the ward and saw that Xu Yi was still there. Lin Zuotang stepped forward and saluted, "Doctor Xu, please treat me."
As long as there was a chance, he would not give up. Even if he was defrauded of money, he would not give up. Try it.
Xu Yi nodded and asked him to sit down and talk.
"When did your illness start?" he asked.
Lin Zuotang replied: "Twelve years ago, when I was eleven years old, it was late winter. I suddenly fell to the ground and went crazy, which scared all my relatives."
Xu Yi frowned in thought, and asked softly: "Is there anyone in the clan? Do other people have epilepsy?"
Lin Zuotang stared at Xu Yi, feeling anxious but unable to lie: "Yes, an uncle of mine died of epilepsy three years ago."
He didn't know . What was the scene like at that time? It was just that after his mother heard the news from the sidelines, she went to see someone and fell ill when she came back. Every time she saw him afterwards, she would cry.
He knew then that he would follow in the footsteps of his uncle.
Therefore, his mother tried so hard to find him a caring wife, but he refused.
His uncle died of illness when he was thirty. If he... wouldn't he leave his wife and children to suffer in the world?
Xu Yi didn't know that he was still thinking so much. After hearing this answer, he was sure that his epilepsy was most likely hereditary.
That would be difficult.
Xu Yi checked his pulse with a sullen face, and found that he had excessive heart fire, so he asked him: "At night, do you feel upset and insomnia, making it difficult to fall asleep?"
Lin Zuotang looked surprised, but he didn't expect that Xu Yi could even see this. , Sure enough, there are some tricks.
"It's true." Lin Zuotang said, "It's hard to fall asleep before midnight."
Even if he lies in bed early, he tosses and turns, feeling deeply uncomfortable no matter how he sleeps. He always feels like something is blocking his chest and he can't breathe.
Even occasionally, I would open my eyes and hear the crow of roosters. The sky was already dimly lit outside the window, but I couldn't sleep all night.
