The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 217

In a dilapidated inn, in the cheapest room.

Zhuge Xuan frowned and looked at the two sisters who were lying on the bed moaning non-stop, while Zhuge Liang looked at his two sisters worriedly.

"Zhongjing, can Yingying and Yingying be cured?"

Zhuge Xuan said to the man in his thirties who was kneeling in the room drinking tea.

The two girls on this bed are Zhuge Ying and Zhuge Ying, Zhuge Liang's eldest sister and second sister.

The person Zhuge Xuan called Zhong Jing turned out to be Zhang Zhongjing, who was later called the sage of medicine. He wrote the great work "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and was called the soul of Chinese medicine by later generations.

Although Zhang Zhongjing's reputation seems to be inferior to Hua Tuo's because of the author's modification of Hua Tuo in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in fact Zhang Zhongjing is not inferior to Hua Tuo's strength.

"Hey, there is stasis in the kidneys of the two young ladies. Medicines can relieve the pain but cannot cure it. This is the first time I have seen such a case. It may take some time to completely cure it, but... the two young ladies I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a little bit."

Zhang Zhongjing also shook his head with some regret. He followed Zhuge Xuan this time out of friendship, and at the same time he came to Jingzhou to find a doctor named Kang. It is said that this person is very experienced in back sores, so Zhang Zhongjing planned to Go and learn from him as a teacher.

There are silts in the kidney. In modern terms, it is kidney stones. Even in modern times, there are only two ways to treat this disease. One uses external sound waves to shatter the stones, but it will cause more pain for the patient, and the other is surgery. take out.

Because the stone will vibrate due to the impact during the process of being shattered, this will cause the patient who is already in pain to suffer even more.

In ancient times when there was no ultrasound, it was extremely difficult to dissolve stones with drugs.

Of course, compared with taking it out through surgery, extracorporeal lithotripsy is a slightly gentler way.

Zhuge Xuan sighed sadly, Zhuge Liang's two elder sisters who came all the way had suffered from this illness, and the two delicate girls had already become pale and thin due to the torture.

"Brother Zhuge, don't worry, I, Zhang Ji, will definitely find a way to get rid of the pain of the two ladies as soon as possible!" Zhang Zhongjing reached out and took a pen to write down a series of names of medicinal materials on a piece of paper and said to Zhuge Liang: "You go to the pharmacy according to the medicinal materials above. Grab two pictures, boil three bowls of water into one bowl of water and serve it to your two sisters, they will be able to have a good rest tonight."

Zhuge Liang immediately took the prescription in Zhang Zhongjing's hand and rushed outside.

"I never thought that my Zhuge family in Langya would be reduced to such a state!" Zhuge Xuan glanced at the dilapidated guest room with some guilt and said, "Please don't blame Zhongjing."

Zhang Zhongjing said quite freely: "You and I have known each other for more than ten years, why do you say this, you should rest earlier, your body is weak, and this journey may have an impact on your body, or I will stop talking to you." Prescribe a medicine to nourish your body?"

Zhuge Xuan smiled wryly and said: "Forget it, let's cure the two sisters first. My brother asked me to take care of them before leaving. How can I let them have an accident?"

Hey!
Zhang Zhongjing also sighed. Although their Zhang family is also a clan with a large surname, the population of the family has decreased sharply due to a plague, and the current economic situation of the Zhang family is not particularly good.

Zhuge Liang came back from the outside soon, and then he began to decoct medicine for his two sisters, and he never rested during this time.

Zhuge Xuan and Zhang Zhongjing on the side nodded straightly. Suffering a little hardship in childhood can train people better and affect their future development. Zhuge Liang in history also benefited a lot because of his childhood experience. Zhuge Xuan died shortly after joining Liu Biao, and Zhang Zhongjing was in charge of taking care of Zhuge Liang.

It can also be seen from this that Zhang Zhongjing is a very good person, and he can take care of his children without hesitation after his friend dies.

The next morning, Zhuge Liang woke up from his sleep and heard his two sisters moaning in pain. Obviously their kidney stones started to hurt again.

After Zhang Zhongjing asked Zhuge Liang to press the waists of his two sisters according to his instructions, Zhuge Liang's answer made Zhang Zhongjing a little worried.

Zhuge Xuan asked worriedly: "How are Zhong Jingyingying and the others doing?"

"Hey!" Zhang Zhongjing sighed and said, "Just now I let Liang'er touch their waists, I'm afraid the bruise has not disappeared but has increased."

When Zhuge Xuan heard that his condition had worsened, he immediately turned around in a hurry: "What should I do?"

"I don't have any other good solution for the time being." Zhang Zhongjing clenched his fists a little unwillingly and said, "It's okay to relieve the pain of the ladies, but it's just that taking too much medicine for tranquility and concentration may be bad for their minds."

Zhang Zhongjing's words made Zhuge Xuan hesitate, and the room fell silent for a while.

But Dongfang Sheng was rushing to the inn where Zhuge Xuan and the others were staying. After listening to Chen Zhong's report, he was almost sure that Zhuge Liang's two older sisters had kidney stones.

Dongfang Sheng is not sure about other diseases, but he has some experience with kidney stones.

Because he had kidney stones when he was in the army, he finally cured it with a folk prescription under the guidance of an old military doctor in the army.

Dongfang Sheng led the way to the door of Zhugexuan's room under the lead of Xiaoer in the inn. Dongfang Sheng stopped him when Xiaoer was about to knock on the door.

"I'll do it myself, you go down first."

Dongfang Sheng said to Xiao Er, by the way, he threw a small amount of five baht to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er who took the bounty immediately left flatteringly.

Bang!Bang!
Dongfang Sheng knocked on the door twice, waking Zhuge Xuan and the others up.

Zhuge Xuan went to open the door a little annoyed, and when he saw that it was Dongfang Sheng, his face calmed down: "It turns out that Mr. Benedict is here, please come in quickly."

As soon as Dongfang Sheng entered the room, Zhang Zhongjing and Zhuge Liang looked at him with squinted eyes. Dongfang Sheng came here, apparently by sending someone to watch them secretly, otherwise the chance of meeting them in the same city is extremely high. Less.

"I can cure your sister's illness!"

Before Zhuge Liang could ask a question, Dongfang Sheng's words made Zhang Zhongjing bounce off the mat.

Zhang Zhongjing's medical skills cannot be said to be bad, but after the formation of kidney stones, even modern doctors can only treat them with equipment or surgery, not to mention the limitations of his era.

"how can that be!"

Zhang Zhongjing said in disbelief.

"If the stones are in the beginning, there is a way to get rid of them." Dongfang Sheng said directly: "Drink two pots of boiling water a day, and the kidney stones can be washed away."

Kidney stones can indeed be cleared by this method of drinking water when they were young. Zhang Zhongjing also understands this, so when Dongfang Sheng said it, Zhang Zhongjing nodded.
