After breakfast, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning. The sun has not yet risen from the mountains, but the mountainside in the east is already a patchwork of red and white, and the calls of various birds are slowly increasing. I looked at my second uncle and said, "Second uncle, I want to go out for a walk, but I always sit at home and feel depressed." The second uncle looked at me and said, Oops! It's best not to move these days to avoid making mistakes. Just be patient and let Yueyue find a few people to play poker with you for a while. Poker, I don't like it. Maybe it’s nature or it’s related to family, my parents don’t play around with money. So I know very little about poker. Because I don’t like it, I can’t play it.
The wooden door suddenly rang, and after a "squeak", Huzi stuck out his black head and shouted, "Second Uncle, are you up?" I shouted happily, come in quickly, get up early. He ran in, sat next to me, looked at my feet and asked? Feeling better?
When it comes to my feet, he forgot about them without asking me. As I sit here, I no longer feel any pain in my feet, but they are just a little swollen. I moved my ankles and they feel much better. It seems that the old man's medicine really works. I suddenly had the urge to get this prescription from an old Chinese doctor. Because I am always active in the mountains, if my foot sprains again one day, I can make do with it. I heard from Shitou that his father twisted his leg and lay on the kang for more than half a month. I think in my case it will definitely not take half a month. The medicine is really good.
I once heard Master say this. In traditional Chinese medicine, as long as there is a family of traditional Chinese medicine for more than five generations, every family has very good prescriptions. In rural areas, it is called "folk prescription". This kind of medicine is specially designed to treat a certain disease. For example, stomach problems, pneumonia, gout . etc. In my memory, there is an old Chinese medicine doctor in my village who specializes in treating gastritis . The medicine almost cures the disease. It's very amazing. Every time he goes to buy "recipes", he will ask very carefully. Because he will also consider whether this folk remedy is useful to you, or whether to add more medicine or reduce the medicine. Because there are many kinds of stomach problems. If it's not suitable, he won't sell it to you.
Every family has a unique prescription, and they all have one characteristic. They are afraid that the prescription will be leaked, so they will grind various medicines into very fine powders. No one knows what medicines are in it. Therefore, only they know the recipe, and they will only tell the next generation when they are about to die, adhering to the principle of passing it on to males rather than females. Some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions can feed a family with just three or four remedies. This is definitely not nonsense.
I was born and raised in a rural area. Before I was twenty years old, I had never had any injections, (except for preventive vaccines) and rarely took Western medicine. I used traditional Chinese medicine methods, which cost nothing and were effective. Real Chinese medicine doctors are very cheap to treat patients. When they work in the fields, they collect various herbs and various reptiles and even various snakes every day. In their eyes, many things are treasures. The dust on the beams, the maggot shells with long tails in the latrines, and even the feces of various animals, etc., many things can cure diseases and even save lives. These things come from nature and all it takes is time. So their medical treatment is very cheap. They also purchase many herbs that are not available locally. As long as they are used, they will be a little more expensive, but not much more expensive. There is also acupuncture. Although it is a bit painful, it is really effective for many diseases. It is a pity that some traditional Chinese medicines are expensive and the effects are not as good as before.
The most profound impression on me was that there was a child in a family in front of my house who was one year younger than me. When he was seven or eight years old, he got measles , but he was different from others. Other people’s measles It grows on the outside of the skin, but his measles grows on the inside and cannot come out. (Because he was young at that time, it seems to be said like this) The high fever was very serious. He did not eat or drink for two or three days, and even the barefoot doctor in the village could not do anything. In the end, an old man in his seventies or eighties was optimistic. One of the medicines was a maggot shell with a tail in the toilet. Because he didn't have a toilet at home, he used it in the pigsty when he went to the toilet. So she came to look for maggot shells in my bathroom. I remember her mother told my mother this. I'm there too.Her mother found half a bowl of maggot shells in the bathroom of my house and went back with it. My mother also took me to see it. I saw the old man washing the maggot shells, drying them on the tiles, grinding them into powder, and then mixing them into powder. Give the child the boiled decoction. The next day, I heard her mother telling people at the door that the rash was coming out. The fever has gone away.
So I remember this incident very deeply. What I didn’t expect is that now, some people actually suggest that traditional Chinese medicine should be banned, which I really don’t understand. well! I don’t know what these people think. Let me say here that I will always support real Chinese medicine.
I was lost in thought when Huzi tapped me on the shoulder, which shocked me and made him laugh. I rolled my eyes at him and said nothing. I looked at my second uncle and said, "Second uncle, this uncle's medicine is very effective. My feet feel much better." The second uncle curled his lips and said, "Don't underestimate him. He is a man who has seen the world. He used to treat big leaders in the city and only came back a few years ago. Do you know how old he is?" Saying it scares you to death, I asked curiously? Seventy years old? The second uncle glanced at me, hum! Eighty-nine. Of his two sons, the eldest son took over his duties and stayed in the city with the leader. The clinics opened by the second boy in Jining all make a lot of money. I drove a 212 car. You can see the full amount of envy from the second uncle’s expression!
I asked again, second uncle, do you think I can give him the medicine to treat sprains? If I sprain my foot again one day, I can watch it myself. Besides, the medicine is not expensive, only three yuan for five days of medicine. Before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by my second uncle. "Boy", what do you think? Want a secret recipe from your doctor? is it possible? Isn't this the same as negotiating with a tiger for its skin? Not to mention you, even if he wants his brother's son, he won't get it. Who do you think you are? When my second uncle said this, I was a little embarrassed. Did I think too simply?
The room suddenly became quiet. No one spoke. From another room, the sound of clinking bowls and pots was heard as Yue Yue washed the pots. It seems particularly crisp and loud in a quiet room. The second uncle may have felt that what he said was a bit harsh, so he coughed twice and said in a low voice: You are still young, and you don't understand some things, but you must remember that you should never have these thoughts. It is neither moral nor noble. They still have descendants. Your idea is too stupid. Besides, you are neither their disciple nor a close relative, so how could they give it to you? Some apprentices spend their whole lives, but in the end they may not get what they want. Why do you say you want it? You need to think clearly about what you should do and what you should not do in the future. After saying that, he jumped down to the ground, put on a ragged cotton-padded jacket and went out.
I was a little dazed. Is this the first time since I met my second uncle that he was so excited? Why is this? Could it be that my thoughts stimulated him and made him think that I was a selfish person? I was a little confused and didn't know why. Just when I was confused, the door rang again, and a thin figure flashed in through the crack of the door. I watched her figure running into the house through the glass, her ponytail swinging behind her head. Throw it away and look very beautiful and naughty! It was Xiaxia who came over, and a smile appeared on my face involuntarily.
