Chapter 033, One hundred years of love, longevity, and a lifetime of sincerity

When descendants mentioned the Medicine Prince Sun Simiao, they sent many sage cards to the respected old man intentionally or unintentionally, including the Hundred Schools of the CCTV Lectures column, which has this tendency. As Mei Zhenyi saw with her own eyes, Sun Simiao's practice of medicine is at least three different from the legend of descendants.

First of all, some people say that Sun Simiao practices medicine throughout his life to save the poor, and does not charge money for treating the people. This statement is taken for granted. Sun Simiao will also charge money for treating the doctor. It is not expensive than the medical expenses collected by ordinary doctors, but it is not cheaper.

In ancient times, doctors charged two kinds of medical treatment fees: one was to diagnose and prescribe prescriptions, and let the patient go home and take the medicine by himself. At this time, the doctors collected the medical treatment fee. This is the case for doctors. Ordinary doctors did not have the ability to open pharmacies. Opening pharmacies at that time was much more money than practicing medicine. The second was to encounter some special diseases, which required plasters, elixirs, powdered medicines and other preparations. The doctors did not configure it themselves, or if they encountered bruises and injuries, they would charge additional medicines.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, although the power struggles were strong in the court, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. In terms of material things, they were naturally not as rich as modern society. They were relatively peaceful and prosperous. Most of the people were not short of food and clothing. Some villagers had no cash for a while and would give a few buckets of millet, a few pieces of local cloth, a few baskets of eggs, a few bacons, and wild game made from the mountain. Sun Simiao didn't care about it and accepted it. The old man couldn't use it himself, so he also gave it to the servants who served him.

This is not a matter of money. Even if Sun Simiao can live without medical treatment, and the old miracle doctor is like this, what should other doctors do? Wherever the elderly go, wouldn’t the folk doctors starve to death when they drink the northwest wind and starve to death? Who should they look for in the future? Sun Simiao’s practice of medicine will not hinder the survival and development of this industry in the nearby area.

Of course, there are times when the elderly do not charge money for medical treatment. They walk in the village to practice medicine and provide medicine for free. They have done this many times in their lives. They are often in a special situation, and the epidemic is prevalent. Whether ancient or modern, when encountering large-scale plague outbreaks, it is not possible to rely on doctors alone. They need official organizations to rescue and mobilize the strength of the whole society. At this time, Sun Simiao, as a master of a generation of medical practitioners, would stand up.

For example, "drug wind" broke out in the Taihang Mountains in the early Tang Dynasty, which was a leprosy that people were afraid of talking about. Most people, including doctors, avoided it. However, Sun Simiao ignored the danger and went deep into the epidemic area and led his disciples to establish isolation treatment sites in the mountains, admitted more than 600 leprosy patients, cured more than 60 people with his own hands, and left detailed medical records. This can be described as the four words "immeasures of immeasurable merits".

Sun Simiao and Mei Zhenyi's grandfather Liu Boshu had a deep friendship, which was also due to a plague. When Sun Simiao collected herbs in Wucheng, he met Liu Boshu and was warmly treated. At this time, news of the lack of medical treatment and medicine in Guanzhong. Sun Simiao immediately said goodbye and returned to Guanzhong. Before leaving, Liu Boshu pointed to a boat on the dock and said, "I have been respecting the old man for a long time. You are here to save lives and heal the wounded. Liu should do his best. This way, no matter what medicinal materials you always need, as long as there are local ones, I can fill this boat with you."

Sun Simiao really spoke, not polite at all, and loaded a full boat of medicine. Later, Sun Simiao tried his best to treat Mei Zhenyi, but there was a reason.

Secondly, some people say that Sun Simiao will never refuse any medical treatment throughout his life, and he will treat all kinds of diseases, and the actual situation is not the case. Although it is not clear how the elderly treated the doctor in their early years, just as Mei Zhenyi saw it with his own eyes, Sun Simiao also politely declined the patient, and more often he did not even prescribe the prescription.

In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, in addition to trauma (blastic gold-cancerous) and wind evil (infection and illness), many other diseases can be classified as "emotional diseases". The so-called emotional diseases refer to physiological and functional lesions caused by a person's mentality, living habits, environment and other factors. The simplest example is that narrow-mindedness and inability to see things or irregular diet can easily lead to stomach problems. Even "wind evil" is related to "emotional". A person's resistance and immunity are directly related to living environment and habits. Treating diseases is to mobilize a person's inner recovery function through various means. If a person does not have this function or it is very weak, then all surgical procedures cannot be performed and all medicines will not be effective.

The core of traditional Chinese medicine to cure diseases is to "enhance the right and eliminate evil". The so-called "right" means the normal living conditions of people between heaven and earth. The ancients in China are very interesting. In historical records, people often do not say what disease they have when they die, but say "died from worries and anger", "depressed from depression", "dead early in indulgence", etc.

In one aspect, many modern diseases are also "social and emotional diseases" in a broad sense. For example, drinking milk with excessive melamine can cause kidney stones, which is pathologically because this compound is slightly soluble and not absorbed. However, on the other hand, the prevalence of this phenomenon is related to the pathological environment of social development. Not only do those who drink milk will get sick, but those who produce this milk have long been infected, but also have a lot of illness! Drugs and surgical treatment are one aspect, and the more important prescription is to cure the pathological situation of this social environment. This explains why the highest level of medical science is called "healing the world", and why good doctors and good friends are compared.

Many times, Sun Simiao did not prescribe decoctions after hearing and hearing. He just told the "patients" how to adjust their eating habits, living habits, even their ideas and their daily actions, so that the disease can be cured by itself, otherwise even if it is cured temporarily, it will recur. Modern scammers also treat people like this, but Sun Simiao is definitely not only comforting and fooling, but every sentence has a basis for medical and pathology, and inadvertently influences and corrects the world. Mei Zhenyi saw it and gained a deeper understanding of the difference between "sharp" and "li" and "tao" in the traditional jianghu.

Some patients were advised by Sun Simiao to go down the mountain and told them to find a doctor in the city to treat them, without having to go to Qiyunguan for a long time. Even if he was asked to treat them, they were no different from ordinary doctors. Most of these are rich and leisurely people in the city, and they also have good things to pick on others, and occasionally have some headaches and fever. The laborers mobilized all boats to climb the mountain to Qiyunguan, and insisted on asking the old miracle doctor to see if they were sick to be willing.

Sun Simiao just said, "Don't come far away, just look for a doctor nearby!" Then he sent these people down the mountain. These people went there for nothing to complain about, and they mentioned that Sun Simiao had nothing good to say. But if Sun Simiao did not do this, on the one hand, it would be limited, which might delay the patients who really need treatment. On the other hand, wouldn't other doctors in Wuzhou lose their livelihood? With Sun Simiao's reputation and status, they no longer care about these criticisms. If it were ordinary doctors, they wouldn't dare to do this.

In this way, there are fewer people who come to Qiyunguan whenever they have something to do. Many people still invite doctors to see a doctor nearby. Generally, when a doctor encounters a condition that cannot be seen or cannot be sure, they will actively suggest that the patient go to Qiyunguan to find the old god Sun. Many doctors simply accompany the patient to find senior Sun and ask for advice in person. Sun Simiao always patiently and meticulously exchanges and explains his experience in treating and using medicine. Sun Simiao is not only a doctor, but also a doctor.

Symptoms can be cured but not cured. Doctors can only cure diseases but not their lives. Sun Simiao's disease cannot be cured. In this case, Sun Simiao will teach patients how to prolong their life while they are sick; at the same time, he will explain the principles of curability and incurability to other doctors.

Finally, the third point is that some people say that Sun Simiao will take care of medical treatment and always fight on the front line of medical care. The fact is not entirely true. Sun Simiao might have been like this when he was young, but don’t forget that the old man lived more than 100 years old and always let him rush to the front. So what are the disciples and juniors doing? It is not in line with the traditional teacher's teachings and filial piety.

In Qiyun Temple, Sun Simiao often did not sit in the hall or take the pulse personally. The patients were received by Qu Zhensheng, two medicine boys beside him. Qu Zhenming, and nearby doctors also came to ask Sun Simiao for advice. By the way, they also received the patients in Qiyun Temple. Two medical officials in Wuzhou Prefecture also took turns to Qiyun Temple. On the one hand, they learned from the old miracle doctors, and on the other hand, they helped Sun Simiao. In short, when Sun Simiao came, Qiyun Temple not only became a hospital, but also a medical school.

Most of the time, Sun Simiao just gave advice and observation, and the elderly would reach out to the other doctors if they couldn't handle it or were wrong. Most of the time, they would explain medical theory to the doctors and doctors. Mei Zhenyi often mixed aside and listened, and gained something. By the beginning of spring of the second year, Mei Zhenyi's body had recovered as usual. Although it was not as strong as before time travel, it was no different from normal people. He also liked to join in the fun and often went to the West Hospital to sit in the hall to take the patient's pulse.

He was simply a fool of himself, but the villagers of the villa couldn't control him. Strangely, Sun Simiao also let him do whatever he wanted, so others could not say anything. But Sun Simiao was still sensible. He would call other doctors or treat him again in person, and at the same time ask what disease Mei Zhenyi had diagnosed and how to use medicine. In this way, Sun Simiao found that Mei Zhenyi was very talented in the medical field and became happier!

It is impossible without talent. Before Mei Zhenyi traveled through time, she was a student of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She could at least speak out without saying anything when she reached out. But for a child who was just watching and studying medicine, this was simply a genius!

You can also see all kinds of things in the world in the hospital, and there are all kinds of people who come to see a doctor. Qi Yunguan is far from Wuzhou City on the mountain, and the old miracle doctor doesn't sit in the hall himself, which makes many people who come here unhappy. For example, on this day, the chubby Wang came outside, and he kept slashing and scolding in the hall, and was so angry that he was very dissatisfied.

The word "官网" was originally an official title. It not only refers to retired old officials at home, but in modern terms it is an official outside the organization. This Wang Yuanwai is a connoisseur, and does not have a real-time official title of eighth-rank literary official title, but is also considered the No. 1 big man in Wuzhou. The person who got sick was not Wang Yuanwai, but a newly married concubine of Wang Yuanwai. After the wind blows in the past few days, he coughs a little and takes a sedan chair up the mountain to find the old miracle doctor to treat the disease.

Sun Simiao sat in the back hall with a curtain hanging. On that day, Mei Zhenyi's hands were itchy, and she also took her pulse in front of the hall, and just received this concubine. If she had not dared to be arrogant in front of Sun Simiao, the king would not dare to be arrogant, but he did not see Sun Simiao, but a half-baby was taking his pulse for Mrs. Ru. He immediately got angry and said, "I heard that Sun Zhenren is not young anymore, so why is he so unruly in the law? Let such a boy sit in the hall. Is my wife's hand touched casually by Caomin?"

Mei Zhenyi was amused but pretended not to hear it. But Qu Zhenming, who was beside him, couldn't sit still. He stood up and whispered a few words to Wang Yuanwai, and then pulled him to the yard for some reason. He didn't know what he said. It was not long, but Wang Yuanwai came back and his face turned pale. He stopped seeing his concubine's illness. He walked to Mei Zhenyi and kept apologizing and apologizing, and even invited him to the yard with fear and fear.

The king bent over in the courtyard and said, "I really don't know that you are the little marquis of the Mei family. I have been longing for a long time. Please don't mind the offense just now. I heard that the little marquis of my concubine has taken a fancy to me, so please stay and serve the tea. Anyway, you have touched your hand, which is considered a little bit of Wang's intention."

After saying that, he almost made Mei Zhenyi stupid. Why did this person give his wife to him in a blink of an eye? He had to pretend to be an adult and scold Wang Yuanwai, saying that he was not a lustful person. How could he do such a thing at a young age? Please don’t insult the Mei family style. Wang Yuanwai had to do it. Before leaving, he asked Zhang Guo what the little marquis meant? Zhang Guo smiled and said that the little marquis really had no meaning, so there was no need to send someone quietly.

After the Wang Yuanwai left, Mei Zhenyi pulled Qu Zhenming to Guanwai and asked him what he said to Wang Yuanwai. Qu Zhenming laughed and said, "I didn't say anything. I just told Wang Yuanwai - do you know who the young master who diagnosed your wife is? He is the eldest son of the Marquis of Southern Lu and the grandson of Liu Boshu, the richest man in Wuzhou. He only gave face to treat your concubine's pulse. In the Wuzhou area, whether you are an official or a business, can you offend him? He dares to say that kind of thing in person. It's a disaster or a blessing, you can do it yourself!"

Mei Zhenyi said angry and funny: "Then why did he give me his little wife?"

Qu Zhenming covered his stomach and laughed, "How did I know? He thought you were attracted to it, otherwise the little marquis would have gone to see what kind of pulse?...I was just a joke, but I didn't expect that the man looked so arrogant and brave, so he was so scared in a blink of an eye!...Mr. Mei, you touched his hand anyway, and you could see the person clearly. If you are satisfied, just stop it."

Mei Zhenyi raised her feet and kicked him in the ass: "I won't take it, why don't you take it? Aren't you still not married? I'll go and say to the old god, and see how he dealt with you!" Qu Zhenming ran away with a smile, shouting, "Give me aside, I don't dare to ask for it!"

The Qu brothers are not old, and they happen to have the word "Zhen" in their names. They are also friends with Mei Zhenyi and are private playmates. The eldest brother Qu Zhensheng is steady and looks like an elder brother. The younger brother Qu Zhenming is very naughty and has a very good relationship with Mei Zhenyi, and the reason is not complicated. This kid looks too much like Qu Zhengbo, and Mei Zhenyi feels close invisibly.

After the king returned to the city, he didn't know what he said to others. It was spread all the time, and it turned out that "the little marquis of the Mei family were mingled in Qi Yunguan and were sitting in the hall by taking the pulse." For a moment, some young wives in the city who thought they were beautiful were afraid to go to Qi Yunguan. Some people had daughters who were waiting for the name of the Boudoir, so they specially brought Qi Yunguan to see the doctor, hoping that the little marquis would take a look and marry Jingwu Villa.

Not to mention, Mei Zhenyi really noticed a female patient who came to see a doctor. She turned out to be He Xiangu’s daughter!

Fairy He? You are right, Fairy He, one of the Eight Immortals? I don’t know whether it is that Fairy He. Anyway, she is called Fairy He. Her husband’s surname is He. He is from Yangxian Township at the foot of Miaomen Mountain. She usually pretends to be a god and asks the fairy to give people guidance and eliminate disasters and cure diseases. People in all villages call her He Fairy, which is what people often call her later.

He Xian Gu asked God to treat people with his upper body, but her youngest daughter was weak and sick since she was a child, but she still couldn't cure her illness. After many doctors were invited to see her, she didn't improve. I heard that Sun Simiao practiced medicine in Qiyunguan and specially brought her daughter. That day, Mei Zhenyi was listening to Sun Simiao explaining the Treatise on Febrile Diseases to two medicine children. Suddenly someone in front of her greeted him: "Oh, isn't this not He Xian Gu? Why are you here? Can't the fairy girl treat all kinds of diseases?"

A woman outside replied in a coquettish voice: "It's not that I'm sick, but that's my daughter's youngest girl. As the saying goes, those who can do it don't treat themselves. I'm just seeing too many diseases for people. The King of Hell punished me. My daughter's health is always bad and I can't see any diseases. I specially invited the old immortal Sun to come and have a look."

Mei Zhenyi was surprised when she heard the word "He Xian Gu" and immediately slipped out. When she traveled to this dynasty, she met Zhang Guolao and Lu Chunyang one after another, which was very different from the legend. When she heard He Xian Gu, she was naturally interested in going to take a look. She opened the curtain and came to the front hall. When she saw He Xian Gu at first sight, she almost laughed out loud. She remembered a novel, which was "Xiao Erhei Marriage" written by Zhao Shuli. The woman in front of her was like the ancient version of the Third Fairy in the novel.
