Mr. Lao Wang looked disdainful, "It is true that Western medicine can cure diseases and has quick results, but it does not mean that our Chinese medicine cannot do it! Our Chinese medicine also has its own unique features. Let me tell you this, Western medicine can
We can cure the problems that can’t be cured by western medicine, and we can also cure the problems that can’t be cured by western medicine!”
"Really?"
"Then look!"
Mr. Wang curled his lips and said proudly, "Grandpa is really not bragging to you. We don't know about other doctors! Your grandpa and I, do you think, are just an old man from the country? I think back then, your grandpa
I am also a famous doctor of the generation who is famous in the capital! In the past, many universities invited your grandfather to give lectures, did you know? Wherever I went, there were crowds of people, and it was very lively!"
"The red flag is waving and there are huge crowds of people!"
"It's not good!"
"That……"
Wang Xiaoliu raised his eyebrows and waved his arms, "Then, old man, how did you end up like this?"
"This...this..."
Boss Lao Wang looked embarrassed, "How can I say this! This man is old and loves purity! Our place is full of green mountains and green waters, which is quite nice."
"laugh……"
Wang Xiaoliuer laughed evilly, "Sir, how did I hear that you committed a crime outside and couldn't survive anymore, so you came here to avoid the limelight?"
"Nonsense, it's nothing."
Mr. Wang gave a dry cough and said, "Don't listen to those stinky old ladies! Their words sound like farts. Can you still believe them?"
"Well, that's not good! That day, Aunt Sun told grandma that she saw you going to Widow Zhang's house in the middle of the night and she didn't know what you were doing. Grandma even asked me where I was."
"What the hell?!"
Mr. Wang was startled and almost jumped up, "Well, what did you say?"
"I said it's okay. I went fishing with my grandfather. I've been there all the time."
"Ahem..."
"Sir...I've been thinking about it, but I feel like something is wrong! Tell me, why did you go to Widow Zhang's house in the middle of the night?"
"Ahem, um, Widow Zhang is not feeling well, please let me go over and take a look..."
"Then do you see any clues?"
"Children, you don't understand even if I tell you."
"It's not a question whether I understand or not. I'm afraid that if grandma asks me, I won't be able to answer."
"Ahem..."
Boss Lao Wang looked embarrassed, "Hey, Xiao Liuzi, grandpa is going to the city tomorrow and has important things to do. Look, do you have anything you want? Grandpa will bring it back to you!"
When Wang Xiaoliu'er saw the guilty look on Mr. Wang's part, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, grandpa, I won't tell grandma about your affairs!"
Mr. Wang put on a straight face and pretended to be serious, "You brat, you're even threatening your grandpa!"
The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing all the way back. Wang Xiaoliu seemed to suddenly remember something, lowered his head and asked, "By the way, Grandpa, there is something I want to ask you! That day, I
I saw a box in the cellar containing something like a big chicken paw, what's going on?"
Mr. Wang was startled when he heard this, "What big chicken claws?"
"It's just a chicken paw. It's as big as your hand, but it's still hairy."
Wang Xiaoliuer blinked his eyes with a curious look on his face, "What is that for?"
Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Medicine."
"Medicine?"
"Medicine."
Mr. Wang said and sighed, "Didn't Grandpa tell you that there are countless poisonous substances in this world? Generally, all poisonous and vicious things have their own uses after being used properly. However, most of them have their own uses.
People can’t be identified.”
Wang Xiaoliu'er nodded, convinced of his grandfather's words.
In his daily life, under the influence of his grandfather, he has indeed read works that are not about medicine, and he also has some understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. He knows that since ancient times, there have been many things in medicine that make people feel creepy.
Went.
There are even detailed descriptions in ancient books about this kind of thing:
"Seven days after the death of a mortal, the muscles all over the body are rotten like pulp, the heart energy is scattered, and the body is transformed into a human aphid. It is shaped like a nine dragon insect and is small, red in color, and abnormally smooth. It affects both men and women. It is best to use male coffins as medicine."
What does it mean?
That is to say, after a person dies, his body rots and a small insect will be born. This kind of insect is blood red and very smooth. It is especially best to come out of the deceased who has been placed in the coffin.
The book even describes how to obtain this medicinal material.
He said, "Use a big drill to drill a big hole in front of the coffin and the head, and smear the outside of the hole with incense residue. When the insects inside smell the smell, they all come out from the hole. Although the insects have armor, they cannot fly. Pick them up with your hands and put them into the vial.
, soaked in shochu and dried on Yin and Yang tiles."
What does it mean?
That is to say, after a person dies and is put into the coffin, a big hole is drilled near the dead person's head on the coffin, and then something is applied to the outside of the hole. The bugs inside will smell a special smell and will be killed.
Coming out of the hole, you can now see that this insect has a carapace, but it can't fly. The person who collects medicine must catch it with his hands, put it in a small bottle, soak it with soju, and then put it on the front and back.
The middle part of the tile is used for drying.”
This dried red beetle has a name in ancient books.
It's called "human aphid".
The human aphid is an excellent medicine for treating bruises and malaria.
In ancient times, many people even went so far as to rob tombs on dark and windy nights in order to rob humans.
Does this sound weird? Does it sound weird and disgusting?
The problem is, there are many more things like this.
For example, there are works from the Tang Dynasty that say:
"After death, the souls of mortals are dispersed, and if their vitality is not exhausted, the flesh will rot and become maggots, which will gnaw at the bones and muscles. Over time, the maggots will also die."
"Therefore, black maggots are always found in the coffins of those who have been raped. Anyone who needs help can collect them from the corpse field. This medicine can cure leprosy and leprosy."
The meaning of this passage is that there is a certain type of people who will rot after death, and black maggots will appear in the rotten flesh.
Note that the white one is of no use, you need the black one, as the black one can be used as medicine.
Usually when such black maggots appear on corpses, someone will deliberately collect them and keep them for use, because this medicine can cure "marijuana".
As a result, in later generations, the famous leprosy treatise "Chishui Yuanzhu" recorded the following prescription:
"Use dead maggots, wash them, bake them on steel sheets to make powder, use one or two coins each, decoct them into thick soup and mix them with saponins..."
He also said that this recipe is "extremely miraculous and very effective, comparable to ordinary plants and trees."
In other words, according to the book, this black maggot can not only cure diseases, but also has a much more powerful medicinal effect than "ordinary grass and trees".
If you think this recipe is a bit nonsense, there is a lot of evidence in ancient books and even more detailed usage methods:
"Take one liter of human maggots, put them in a fine cloth bag, put them in running water, pick them up cleanly, decoct them with ephedra, soak the maggots with the cloth bag, pick them up for a long time, dry them in the sun, and then soak them in licorice decoction and dry them in the sun
, and soaked it in a soup of Sophora flavescens and dried it in the sun, and soaked it in children's feces and dried it, and made a soup of onion and ginger, and put the maggots in it, without picking it up, just put it in.
Boil it dry in a pot and roast it into powder. Add two qian of musk deer and three qian of toad suspense to each liang. Put it into a porcelain pot. Take one qian for each liang and decoct the lithophora flowers under the soup. The flowers will grow white moss on the rocks in the mountains like money.
Like this: take a bath with a decoction of Xanthium sibiricum, and then take the medicine. The effect will be seen in seven days. If you are strong, take it once a day, and if you are weak, take it once every two days, and you will be cured."
This may be the correct way to open this "human maggot".
Of course, this is just one of many examples.
Apart from that, is there anything else?
Of course there are, and there are many.
For example, after a murderer was killed at Caishikou, the blood spurted from the neck cavity was made into human blood steamed buns, which can cure tuberculosis.
For example, according to legend, eating the liver and gallbladder of an enemy alive can strengthen your courage and make you fearless of life and death. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was a man named Zhao Siwan who was influenced by this theory and caused disaster to more than 400 people.
Living people, as to whether this recipe works or not, only the person involved knows better.
"Xiao Liu'er, grandpa is telling you something serious."
Seeing Wang Xiaoliu's thoughtful look, Mr. Wang continued, "You are no longer a little baby. There are some things that grandpa will have to give you a few words of advice."
"Well, listen."
Wang Xiaoliu blinked his eyes and nodded.
"Oh, it's nothing actually. I just want to tell you, don't think that you are good at skills, but you are so courageous that you dare to do anything! In this life, it is said that it is long or short, but sometimes, it is really just a matter of time.
No, no. Aren't you, Sister Chen Mei, just an example? Living well is better than anything else. It's better to do less risky things, especially those with evil spirits. Stay away as far away as possible."
"Um."
Wang Xiaoliu nodded.
"Let me ask you, recently I noticed that you kept running to the back hill whenever you had something to do. What on earth were you doing?"
When Wang Xiaoliuer heard this, he coughed in embarrassment and stopped talking, "Actually, it's nothing, I just went to play."
"Tell the truth to grandpa. Grandpa asked your grandma to cook a big chicken drumstick for you."
"real?"
"Then look."
"Ahem."
Wang Xiaoliu coughed dryly and said, "In the back mountain, you can occasionally meet some people."
"Some people? When? Where?"
"Every month, there are a few days when the moon is particularly big."
Wang Xiaoliuer hesitated and scratched his face.
"I can't tell what the situation is, but when I pass by the river, I sometimes hear people talking and laughing in the reed pond. I run over to take a look, and I can still see a group of women taking a bath. One by one, there are shadows inside.
Even though I’m not wearing any clothes, it’s so steamy inside that I can’t really see it.”
Wang Xiaoliuer said and smiled a little awkwardly.
Mr. Wang looked like he had seen a ghost, "You just said that all you saw were women. So, what do the women you mentioned look like? How old are they? Do you recognize them?"
"I don't know. Every time, it seems to be the same few people. Sometimes there is one more, sometimes there are a few less. They are all young ladies with long hair, fair skin, and good figures."
Wang Xiaoliu swallowed subconsciously, as if recalling some very fragrant memories, "But, from beginning to end, it seems that I have never seen them in nearby villages and towns."
