One summer, Li Shizhen's mother had diarrhea, and she walked the streets and alleys to the herbalist and gave her a pill. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, his stomach ached like a hanging, and a pile of blood stains was discharged, Li Shizhen was overjoyed, and went to the grass doctor to thank him, but found that he ran into the back mountain.
That year, when the floods and plagues were everywhere in Puzhou, Li Shizhen was busy in The Xuanmiao Temple. Unexpectedly, the roof leaked in the rain, the mother was infected, and the diarrhea did not stop.
So he took the time to rush home and treat his mother. But I didn't want to, this small illness was difficult for a generation of famous doctors.
After several pairs of soup medicines, Mother Li's diarrhea was still the same, and people were getting weaker and weaker.
At this time, another doctor and patient cried and came to the door, pulling Li Shizhen to rush to save his life.
Mother Li waved her hand and told her son to go quickly: "I can't die, you go and save people!" ”
Although Li Shizhen could not rest assured of her mother, she could only wipe away her tears and leave in a hurry with the person.
For a long time, Li Mu was groggy, and she heard a ringing bell outside the door, and it turned out to be a grass doctor walking through the streets and alleys, passing in front of the door.
She walked to the door against the wall and shouted, "Can you cure diarrhea?" ”
The man stopped, turned to look at Mother Li, and said, "What's so hard about this?!" ”
Casually, he felt a pill from his sleeve and handed it to Mother Li: "You just take it, I don't go far, I will stay in the big temple, what is wrong, you can find me." ”
Mother Li took the pill and thought about it left and right, and had the heart to wait for her son to return, asking if it was appropriate, but the abdominal and internal intestines were constantly ringing, and the people were also pulled out.
She was fierce, her heart was closed, and she swallowed the pill herself, but she felt much better, and then she fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Li Shizhen returned home, saw that her mother had slept, her heart was slightly at ease, and she was planning to lie down in her wide clothes, but she heard a cry of pain in her mother's room.
Li Shizhen's heart suddenly lifted up, three or two steps to the mother's room, I saw the mother's hands covering her stomach, her body curled up like a shrimp: "Take the bedpan!" ”
Li Shizhen hurriedly waited for her mother to go to the toilet, and in an instant, a pile of dirty blood was discharged, and the smell of fishy smell emanated from the house.
However, after this toss, Li Mu was actually light in body, and people were also mentally up.
After cleaning up, Li Shizhen gave her mother a pulse. Unexpectedly, Mother Li's illness was cured.
Li Shizhen couldn't help but be amazed and asked busily: "Mother, what did you eat?" ”
Mother Li was also happy, so she came with her son about the day's affairs.
Unexpectedly, the herbalist's pill actually cured her disease.
After Li Shizhen heard this, he couldn't care less about sleeping, and when he saw that the sky was already breaking, he was busy getting dressed and rushing to the broken temple.
However, the straw mat was still there, and the person was gone.
It turned out that on the way back to the temple, the herbalist heard that the old lady who took his pills was Li Shizhen's mother, and her heart became uneasy.
He didn't expect that he would sell medicine and sell it to the former "imperial doctor" home, wasn't that The banmen getting an axe?
In case there is a bad pool, then it is worth it?
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he didn't sleep well one night, and before dawn he picked up his basket and fled to the back mountain.
Li Shizhen is a perseverant person, he touched the warm grass mat, knowing that people have not gone far.
The herbalist made a living by collecting herbs, and he searched all the way to the mountain and found the past.
On the third pole of the day, I saw a man resting on the edge of the mountain spring, and there was a high basket next to him.
Li Shizhen hurried forward, and when the herbalist saw that someone was coming after him, he was so frightened that he picked up the basket and ran.
"Sir, I'm here to thank you." Li Shizhen took a deep breath.
Only then did the herbal doctor come back to his senses and smile shyly: "You are not strange, I am a man of the mountains and wilderness, and I rushed to prescribe medicine to the old lady of the imperial doctor, and my heart was really afraid." ”
Li Shizhen laughed loudly: "I am no longer an imperial doctor, you and I are both Langzhong, don't be so outward-looking." I searched hard, one is to thank you for the grace of curing the mother's illness, and the other is to ask mr. for advice. ”
Only then did the herbalist put his mind at ease, and the two of them sat down on the ground and talked about the doctor.
It turned out that the disease suffered by Mother Li was not ordinary diarrhea, but centipede eggs, which were mistakenly entered into the abdomen.
"Drinking tea in a kettle in the summer, there is saliva in the spout of the pot, attracting centipedes to lay eggs inside," the herbalist said, he went south and north to see a lot.
On that day, he and Mother Li took a look at the face and broke the disease at a glance: "This disease can be poisoned, chickens are natural enemies of centipedes, chicken poop, flour is the main ingredient, and supplemented by insect weeds, it can be cured." ”
Li Shizhen nodded continuously, wrote down the words described by the herbal medicine one by one, and sorted out the unilateral and test prescriptions obtained by the folk into the "Compendium of Materia Medica" one by one, which was passed down to future generations.
The book not only records more than 1,000 kinds of Materia Medica, but also contains a variety of foods, the law of mutual restraint. Interested friends, you can click the link below or take a look.
