Different from the patriarch's enthusiasm, although Gu Lu is smiling towards them, both Man Bao and Bai Shan can feel his indifference and...distrust.
The herdsmen moved very quickly. The tents were set up, their blankets were spread inside, and a low table was placed to receive guests.
Gu Lu invites them to sit in.
Man Bao was very interested in their camping, and the light in the tent was not very good, so she declined, and pointed to the slightly high hillside and said, "How about we go and sit there?"
Gu Lu looked at where she was pointing for a while, then nodded slightly.
So they turned around and went up the next hillside. They didn't reach the top of the hill, so they sat cross-legged on the half slope.
Bai Shan first looked up at the sun in the sky, and felt that they could talk for a long time, so he didn't talk about seeing a doctor, but asked first: "Are there many people in your tribe who have suffered from smallpox?"
Gu Lu vaguely said: "It's all over, the gods have forgiven our recklessness and negligence."
Man Bao, who was about to ask to check the contacts of those who had suffered from smallpox, paused for a moment, her eyes fell on Gu Lu's face, and she asked, "Does the medicine you take work?"
Gu Lu said: "Some uses."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, she still believed that the medicine was useful, so she stopped Bai Shan, asked him for a pen and paper, and wrote down the three prescriptions.
In order not to confuse them, she wrote three pieces of paper for the three prescriptions.
Gu Lu didn't expect her to be so direct, and lowered his eyes to hide the surprise in his eyes.
Regardless of what he thought, Man Bao directly took three prescriptions and said to him: "These three prescriptions can all treat smallpox, but the pulse condition is different, so the prescriptions used are different."
She said: "Of course, everyone's pulse is different. A good doctor will increase or decrease it according to each person's pulse. There are some changes, but you can also rely on prescriptions."
There are many doctors in the world relying on a few prescriptions handed down from their ancestors. I heard from Xiao Yuanzheng and the others that in some remote places, a doctor may only see one disease in his life, but he can also achieve a reputation as a famous doctor because he can judge A disease, and then use the symptomatic prescription in hand.
Man Bao said: "You can learn how to identify smallpox, and then determine what kind of pulse the patient prefers, and then prescribe a prescription for him. Can you feel the pulse?"
Gu Lu said: "A little bit."
He is a witch, and he has always been in charge of treating patients in the clan. Compared with other members of the clan, he knows more medical principles.
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, it would be much easier to teach this way.
She pointed to the little boy behind him and said, "Then feel his pulse."
Gu Lu squinted his eyes to look at her, then nodded with a smile after a while, called his apprentice to him, asked some questions, felt his pulse, and said: "He is very healthy."
Man Bao: ...
Even if she doesn't feel his pulse, she knows he's not healthy, okay
Man Bao asked the boy to turn around, stretched out his hand to feel his pulse and asked, "Does your stomach hurt at night?"
Gu Lu helped her translate, Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
Man Bao raised his eyebrows, knowing that the boy could not speak Chinese, so he asked in nonsense, "How painful is it? Can you roll?"
She spoke very slowly, so although the accent was a bit different from theirs, the boy still understood. He glanced at the master and replied, "I can't roll, but it hurts."
Man Bao asked, "Does it hurt now?"
The little boy shook his head.
Man Bao asked him to lean back, then lifted his clothes and pressed his stomach, asking, "Does it hurt?"
The little boy shook his head.
"What about here?"
The little boy hissed and cried, "It hurts, it hurts a little."
Gu Lu was surprised.
Man Bao signaled Gu Lu to feel his pulse again, and taught him: "His pulse is stagnant, the most important thing is his complexion is sallow, his belly is round but his face is thin, his limbs are also thin, he looks sick, how can he be healthy?"
Gu Lu: ...
Man Bao said: "Remember his current pulse and complexion, this is the reason for the worm in his stomach."
Gu Lu then reached out to feel his pulse, but he couldn't tell it after a long time.
Man Bao ordered another boy to come, "You feel his pulse and compare."
Gu Lu touched it for a long time, and finally Man Bao simply let him touch one with each hand, saying: "This way we can always compare them, right?"
However, after hearing this, he would always ignore the other, and Gu Lu's forehead was a little sweaty.
Man Bao didn't expect that he couldn't hear such an obvious pulse, and felt the pulse at the same time, shouldn't it be very clear
She still didn't believe it, "Come, come, go and call a few more people, why can't you get them out?"
Gu Lu nodded embarrassingly at the little apprentice, and gave a few instructions, so the little apprentice ran down, and soon brought a group of people up, including men, women, old and young.
Man Bao was very satisfied with this, rolled up his sleeves and said: "If you want to prescribe the right prescription, you must first be able to judge the disease. Only when the diagnosis is correct can you prescribe the correct medicine."
She said: "In this way, even if you don't change the prescription according to the patient's pulse condition, the prescription for the same disease will always have an effect, it's just how effective it is."
This Gulu knew, he nodded.
So Man Bao began to teach him how to distinguish the pulse, and he had experienced smallpox. Moreover, they have also encountered snowstorms since the last month of the lunar year. There is not much rice and food. No matter men, women, old or young, there are some problems, and only some young and strong pulses Not too bad.
There were quite a few serious problems found out, so Man Bao taught him how to feel the pulse and identify the symptoms.
Didn't the patriarch come here when? After watching for a while, he saw Wu's face turned pale and his forehead was sweating, so he couldn't help saying to Man Bao: "Miss Zhou, these people are not smallpox patients. What's the use of feeling their pulse?"
Man Bao said: "Now you can't find a smallpox patient for me."
She said: "So I can only feel the pulse in this way. He can feel the healthy pulse, the stagnant pulse, and the round pulse, and judge where the person is sick, whether it is a high fever or other diseases, and then ask the patient about the process of the illness. The patient's complexion and physical condition can comprehensively judge whether the person has smallpox, ordinary pox or other reasons for high fever, and then can give corresponding prescriptions."
She said: "Look, hear and ask, the first three should not be difficult for witches. If I can't remember, I can write down all the appearances of smallpox patients in detail, but there is no way to feel the pulse. You have to break it yourself." pulse syndrome."
Whether the complexion is sallow or ruddy can be seen, but not everyone can feel the pulse condition.
She felt that Gu Lu was very untalented, as a witch, he couldn't even sense the obvious pulse of his own apprentice, and besides, he could tell it by looking at his face, right
God is pitiful, Gu Lu always thought that his apprentice's face was sallow because he didn't eat well, so he didn't think much about it.
Daji reminded: "Master, Miss Man, the setting sun has appeared, we should go back.
Bai Shan also looked up at the sun, got up with a smile and said, "This is not something that can be learned in a while, why don't you think about it tonight, and we will come back tomorrow."
