Water Treatment Gu

Wang Bo's preface to Tengwang Pavilion has a comment

The ancient county of Yuzhang, Hongdu New Mansion. The stars are divided into Yizhen, the earth is connected to Henglu, the three rivers are connected to five lakes, the barbarian Jing is controlled and Ouyue is attracted. The things are blooming in Tianbao, and the dragon light is shooting at the ruins of the Niu Dou.

Li Dandao has arrived in Poyang now, but what he sees is nothing but weeds.

The local residents also had swollen faces and big belly.

This is schistosomiasis. It was called water Gu disease in ancient times.

This is also the reason why northern scholars are unwilling to be officials in the south.

What a miasma, water Gu, poisonous snake.

By comparison, the north will look much cute.

However, the eastward and southward shift of the economic center is inevitable.

Although the north is more suitable for living, it has frequent wars and is more resistant to natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Don’t the people know that there are many water Gu and miasma in the south, but why do they continue to migrate to the south?

Water Gu invades the liver, gallbladder, and intestines, causing ascites and compressing the internal organs. It often feels miserable and tragic. It is as thin as a skeleton, but its belly is so big that it looks like a pregnant twin.

The method to cure this disease in later generations was to write the experience, prescriptions, and pretreatment of water gu into manuals and spread it widely.

At the source, eliminate the intermediate host and screw as much as possible. In addition, drinking boiled water, going to the field and wearing rubber shoes can also prevent certain transmission.

This took decades.

The manpower and material resources at that time were not very developed, but they also eliminated this disease, which was a model for Yugong to move mountains.

Li Dandaolai naturally copied his homework and began to treat the people of Poyang.

However, the method Li Dandao used was the Chinese medicine method.

Li Dandao turned into a wandering doctor, and the bell rang.

After saying a few words to cure big belly disease, an old farmer came to try it out.

The old farmer spoke Jiangxi dialect, but Li Dandao couldn't understand it either.

Li Dandao saw his tongue coating, took his pulse again, and palpated his abdomen and thought about it briefly.

I immediately planned to use elimination and dispersion to cure the disease.

Then the old farmer caught a few big toads himself.

In May, it was the time when the toads were hugging the right ones, and the old farmer casually grabbed several toads with fists in the field.

Li Dandao was not afraid of the five poisons, so he grabbed them casually and stuffed pepper, dried ginger, and cinnamon into the toad's mouth.

This is not a pickled toad.

Instead, we need to remove poisonous gas and preserve the medicinal properties.

Sew the toad's mouth with needle and thread and place it in a clay pot.

Seal the jar with June 1st mud and bake it on dark fire, without any open fire.

However, Li Dandao couldn't wait for so long, and directly used the Samadhi True Fire and roasted it with the Yin Fire.

When I opened the jar, the toads inside turned into charred corpses, dry and crisp.

Grind it into powder and knead it into meatballs.

The old man burned the talisman of killing the Gu painted by Li Dandao into talisman water as a lead on the spot and took three pills.

After the three pills were taken down, the effect of the talisman water was added. In just a moment, the man felt a little relieved.

I found a corner where no one was, and I shrewd a long time ago, and I felt that my belly seemed to be smaller.

When he understood that this master had met, the old farmer wanted to invite Li Dandao to go back to the village and help the sick people in the village to treat them together.

Li Dandao also left.

Most of the people who suffer from this disease have been tortured for ten or twenty years, and both men and women, even cattle, sheep and animals have this disease.

Insect eggs can also be transmitted to feces. If the hygiene work is not done well, it will be treated well and will recur in a while.

Most of this villages make a living by fishing in Poyang and also farm, but the population is sparse and has been tortured by this disease for a long time. Many people say it is dampness.

It is also said that there are poisonous snakes in Poyang Lake, and the fog inside is absorbed by fishermen, so they get sick.

The incidence rate of people who are slightly far away from Poyang Lake is not so high.

When these people saw Li Dandao coming, they thought it was the Taoist from Xu Jingci who had arrived.

Taoists from the blessed land of the West Mountain are also motivated to overcome this disease.

However, they are not good at managing, and the fu water is not cheap, and Taoist people are honest and practiced, so few people go down to the mountain to cure diseases. However, the people in this village still have a lot of faith in Master Xu.

After all, fishing for food by the Poyang Lake will deter the water monsters in the lake, so they will hang the "Xu" flag on the boat. In this way, they can fish in the depths of the lake and return safely.

Li Dandao did not mean that he was actually not the Taoist of Xu Jingci.

It is just because the people trust and support me very much. If you say that you are an outsider, you may not be trusted.

Li Dandao looked at it and there were public toilets in this village, but it was just a small thatched hut, standing across the sky on the lake and falling directly into Poyang Lake.

And under the lake, due to the water and fertilizer, many fish have attracted.

Li Dandao shook his head.

Many fishermen dig out the silt and pile it up on one side, causing anger to the sky, waiting for the sun to dry, and then use it as fertilizer.

It's a good idea.

It’s just that this polluted the water source in shallow water areas, and it is impossible for villagers to go far away to get water.

Moreover, because it is close to Poyang Lake, there is no habit of digging wells in the local area.

Many villagers surrounded them, most of them were big belly and black-skinned dolls. The belly they said was "tadpole belly". The tadpole's belly was very big, and the intestines would burst out as soon as they squeezed.

The same seems to them.

Li Dandao took his pulse and found that it was not suitable for children to use the scattering. The disease was not very deep, but because he was young, he simply had a stream of Yuan Jing.

However, if you get this disease, you will inevitably have liver and spleen enlargement, inadequate digestion, and malnutrition.

I changed the prescription and used the Blood Preservation Pheasia Pill to resolve it. This prescription promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, promotes qi and relieves pain, which is the right symptom.

Originally it was only used for traumatic chest pain, but Li Dandao added and reduced slightly, so he could also be used for this water Gu disease.

Four cents of peach kernel, safflower, angelica, three cents of raw Rehmannia, one and a half cents of Chuanxiong, two cents of red peony root, three cents of Achyranthes porridge, one and a half cents of Platycodon, three cents of Bupleurum, one and a half cents of Citrus aurantium, and one cent of licorice.

Add two flavors, one is added with three cents of Artemisia anise, and the other is added with one liang of turtle shell.

These medicinal materials are not uncommon, and there is a medicine cabinet in the treasure bag that Li Dandao carries.

Now dispense medicine in proportion and burn fire to refine elixirs in front of you.

This kind of pill was originally boiled into medicine juice and then kneaded into pills.

But Li Dandao was too lazy to concentrate it into a fine pill with Danhuo, which gathered the medicinal power. The other residues had changed, and they were only the size of rice grains.

After letting the pills be swallowed directly, they saw them showing a mask of pain.

The medicinal power melts when it enters the mouth, and it is very bitter.

But even if you cough dryly, you can't cough up anything.

But after a while, he had a strange face and ran away with his butt. Those who didn't know thought that Li Dandao had done something to them.

Li Dandao visited door to door again and saw many bedridden patients.

The two prescriptions just now were too fierce for them.

I need some soothing medicine, otherwise I will just be afraid that I will kill the person.

However, Li Dandao sensed some evil spirits in many patients who were unable to afford it.

Just in their stomachs, it seemed that they were really a worm, extracting their vitality and completing their transformation and becoming like a demon worm.
