Practicing business and practicing medicine

Before he knew it, he had already drunk several cups of coffee. Bian Mu felt a little uncomfortable, so he switched to drinking purified water. His throat was still a little dry. It seemed that he would need to recuperate before returning to his residence.

Seeing that Madam Wei and her son had not yet fully understood, Bian Mu continued to explain patiently.

"Madam! At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the famous strategist Fan Zeng was honored by Xiang Yu as 'father'. He had a similar poisonous sore on his back. In that era, surgical conditions were limited, and antibiotics were out of the question. In addition, he was old and eventually died of poison. The Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran also suffered from a similar 'back sore' disease, which some people also called 'back carbuncle'. Meng's family was quite well-off. He had no problems for more than two years after the disease, and at most felt uncomfortable occasionally. How do I know these details? Coincidentally, an old gentleman with the surname Situ had a collection of medical books at home, some of which were 'anecdotes'. I read a lot of specific details from them. Later, a good friend came to visit, Meng Haoran was overjoyed. He disobeyed the doctor's advice, drank heavily, ate seafood, and did not avoid spicy food... Eventually, he died due to worsening of his illness. There was a powerful official in the Southern Song Dynasty, whose ending was somewhat similar to Meng Haoran. His family was naturally more prosperous, and his condition did not deteriorate for many years. Later, he also died of other similar reasons. Xu Da, a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, also suffered from a similar disease. It is generally believed that the root cause of his death was the "back sore" on his back... So... I proposed the "book therapy" method with only one purpose: to eradicate the root cause! You two are sensible people, so I only said a few more words. If it were someone else, I'm afraid these words would be kept in my heart! "Bian Mu smiled and used ancient examples to illustrate the present.

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei's expression gradually became solemn, and she couldn't help but take a few breaths of cold air.

Mr. Wei may know very little about traditional culture, especially Chinese studies. Judging from his eyes, he probably didn't quite understand what was said. But fortunately, the confused look on his face has faded a little.

Bian Mu continued to explain: "From the perspective of Chinese medicine, let's abstract it a little. The problem lies in the word 'gather'! Fan Zeng and others were shameless throughout their lives. What they planned in their hearts usually had to have some results. They gathered human resources, material resources, and mental strength... They would be particularly attentive in all aspects. They would not give up until the goal was achieved. Over time, all kinds of bad external evil energy around them would gather to the weakest part of the back. The details in this regard can only be read slowly from the official history. In addition, you may wish to refer to the poems and prose of the great poet Meng that have been passed down to this day. With Mr. Wei's talent and most of his life experience, you, madam, only need to give a little guidance. The whole process must be carefully tasted by him, slowly' Chewing! This so-called "book therapy" focuses on the process. Please be patient with this. Anyway, Mr. Wei is not in danger of death recently. What we want to achieve in the future is to "eradicate the root". Theoretically speaking, after this careful treatment, Mr. Wei can be said to have survived a period. In the process of careful study, the external evil qi that has accumulated in his body for a long time will slowly dissipate. By the way, the cause of their disease lies in the word "gathering". When it comes to specific treatment, it all depends on the word "dispersing". As long as you stick to this word "dispersing", I believe that Mr. Wei's body will gradually recover!" At this point, Bian Mu felt his throat dry again, coughed twice, and felt that drinking water had no effect, so he didn't drink anything.

"Oh... that makes sense! Then... should we continue to stay in the local hospital for treatment? Or should we go back to Beiqi and recuperate at home?" Mrs. Wei asked with a frown.

"The medical infrastructure in Beiqi is relatively better, with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. If you have nothing else to do in Lijin, you can consider returning after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Once you're there, keep in touch. As for what physical examinations you usually do and whether you should stay in the hospital for a few days from time to time, those are not big deals. The most important thing is... Mr. Wei must really take it in, really understand the historical past of Fan Zeng and others, and truly gain some insights in his heart. In other words, the 'homework' he usually submits is the key to the problem. In this regard, please take care of us! As for whether to use some medicine or acupuncture during the rest period, we can only see when the time comes. The level of Chinese medicine in Beiqi is definitely not inferior to ours, and basic treatment will definitely be no problem. All in all, the key is to study hard!" Important things must be said three times, and Bian Mu emphasized it many times.

"I understand! Thank you, Dr. Bian, for your guidance!" Mr. Wei responded quickly.

It can be seen that as a son, he is not very old and may even be in the prime of his career. His father's condition is unknown, so he naturally cannot push this matter to other family members. When he heard that they could return to Beiqi for treatment in the near future, Mr. Wei was naturally happy to accept such suggestions.

"In addition, I heard that many famous temples and Taoist temples in Beiqi have various kinds of 'Zen meditation classes', and some of them are said to charge quite high fees. After the beginning of spring, although there are still some late spring chills, it is still quite different from winter. I suggest that you two go up the mountain to investigate. If the accommodation and food conditions are not bad, you might as well sign up for a class with Mr. Wei and hire someone to accompany you. The lifestyles of young people nowadays are becoming more and more diverse. As long as the money is in place, it should not be difficult to find a well-educated and sensible person to accompany Mr. Wei in meditation and enlightenment. In this regard... I usually hear other patients Or the family members mentioned it a few times. In that environment, the external evil spirit in Mr. Wei's body might be able to dissipate faster. Besides, the mountain is mainly vegetarian, the air is good, and the weather is getting warmer, which is indeed beneficial to the adjustment of body and mind. According to our traditional Chinese medicine, "Zen therapy" has always been the main treatment method for ancient scholars to regulate their body and mind. With the change of the times, it has gradually faded in later generations! You two may wish to recall that in the Tang and Song dynasties, many masterpieces of calligraphy, poetry, calligraphy and painting were more or less related to meditation and enlightenment! "Bian Mu smiled and gave a few more instructions.

"That's a good idea! Then let me accompany him to enroll in a class! To be honest, I had that idea a few years ago. So... when the weather gets warmer in a couple of days, we will enroll him in a class." Mrs. Wei responded with a smile.

"Also...if possible, you two might as well guide Mr. Wei to distribute some of his extra money, such as donating to support education, helping the elderly and the widowed, etc., which will be of great benefit to his future recovery." Bian Mu then added a few more sentences.

"No problem! I can do it for you!" Mr. Wei interjected.

"That's all. It's getting late, and I should go back. I'll go to the hospital in a couple of days to check on Mr. Wei's pulse. If necessary... I might have to change the medicine for the old man. I hope you two will take care of the relevant procedures. I won't ask relatives or friends to coordinate with anyone."

"No problem! Why should I trouble you with such a small matter? I will find Professor Mi to coordinate it tomorrow morning." Mr. Wei replied quickly.

"As for the rest... there's nothing much to say. Thank you both for the coffee. Goodbye, and see you in the hospital another day!" After saying that, Bian Mu said goodbye and went downstairs.
