Origin Chapter 10: Sandalwood scent

Like the other cases, these two cases do not record the patient's name and origin, nor do they have a specific date, but some clues can still be deduced from some details.

According to the records in the case, the age of this adult man is 'not confused', that is, about forty years old, which is different from the previous cases. The previous cases have the specific age of the patient, but this No, 'no confusion up and down' is a very general concept.

For traditional Chinese medicine, the specific age of the patient has a great influence on the diagnosis, treatment and prescription. If the specific age of the patient could be known, the master would never use this vague statement. It can be seen that the master could not determine the other party's specific age at that time. specific age.

In addition, the case also records that the adult man's words were so urgent that blood spilled out of his mouth and nose. ’ This sentence means that as long as the person speaks too much, or if he speaks too fast, he will vomit blood, which shows that this adult man could speak at that time. Since he can speak, why can’t Master determine his specific age?

As for this person's symptoms, Master recorded, 'Frequent coughing and vomiting blood, shortness of breath, swollen face, numbness of hands and feet, and repeated tugging of long hair to prevent headaches. ’

Master is from the older generation, and the words used to record medical records and cases are relatively simple, but Wu Zhongyuan has followed Master for many years and has become familiar with his habit of keeping records, and keenly found another clue from this passage. This man would pull his own hair when he had an unbearable headache, and it was long hair. This was something he had overlooked before. After careful recall, the bones he saw in the coffin that day did indeed have long hair.

As for this person's disease, Master used the exclusion method. First, the common cough was excluded, and then the asthma and asthma were excluded, because the disease did not worsen when the person was lying down, and then the tuberculosis was ruled out. The basis is that the person is not thin.

Finally, it was determined that this person had a bad lung disease, which was also called lung cancer at this time.

The medicinal uses are raw astragalus, raw white rhizome, dried almond, aster, winter flower, earthworm, ephedra and raw licorice. After taking the medicine, it is observed that there is a slight improvement.

Take it again the next day, 'The wheezing is slightly flat, but the coughing up blood remains. "

Master used three medicines in total, so it can be seen that this person received three days of treatment after meeting Master. The case records that 'every chen and hai hai, the symptoms eased. At the time of Shen Shiyin, the disease aggravated. ’ This also shows that during the treatment period, Master stayed with this person, otherwise it would be impossible to observe so carefully.

Master did not record the final result of the treatment, but according to the fact that the three medicinal herbs and dosages have been increasing or decreasing, Master finally did not find an effective treatment method.

The following is the record about the eight-month-old baby. If there is no accident, this eight-month-old baby should be him. As for the age of the baby, Master's record is 'about eight months of tooth age', which is It is said that the master judged his age based on the teeth he had just grown, and he did not know it from the mouth of the grown man.

Since this grown man can speak and has been with Master for three days, why is there no communication between the two? Could this grown man be a lunatic?

If you think about it carefully, this possibility is not high, because if it is a lunatic, Master would not have not marked the case.

His symptoms were similar to that of the adult man, except that the symptoms were not as severe. Master did not specify what was wrong with him, only the name and dosage of the herbs used to calm the lungs and relieve cough.

Through this point, it can be seen that Master was very puzzled at the time, because he had the same symptoms as the adult man, and Master's diagnosis of the adult man was lung cancer, but cancer is not contagious, which means that Master later May also know that her diagnosis of an adult man is not necessarily correct.

After carefully reading these two case records, Wu Zhongyuan became more and more puzzled. The clues extracted from the cases were very fragmented. First, he appeared with the man in the coffin.

Second, I was only eight months old at the time.

The third useful clue is that the man lived for three days after meeting the master, could talk, but did not communicate with the master.

Fourth, this man had the same disease as him at the time.

Also, this man was wearing clothes when he met Master, because there is a saying in his case, 'There are two blood stains on the front of his clothes, which should be left behind by two vomiting blood. ' Since there is a front of the garment, there is also a garment.

Since the man was wearing clothes, why was he buried naked when he died? Could it be that Master was worried about an infectious disease and burned his clothes?

If you think about it, it's not right, because there is no difference between burning and burying, and burying people naked is disrespectful to the dead.

The dormitory was very quiet. Wu Zhongyuan worked hard to sort out many clues in his mind, but the clues were not only fragmentary, but also very strange and suspicious. Master did not mention anything unusual about the man's appearance in the case, which was inconsistent at all. Common sense, because if the master knows that this person has a beak, it is impossible to treat him as an ordinary person.

Although Master is a Taoist priest, he is not very courageous. If this person has a beak, he will definitely be frightened.

Unfortunately, Master doesn't have the habit of keeping a diary. Now there are cases instead of diaries. The clues are fragmented and difficult to connect.

It doesn't feel good to be kept in the dark. The more I can't figure out why, the more puzzled Wu Zhongyuan is, the more puzzled he is, the more eager he is to seek the truth. Answer.

Thinking is very tiring, and concentrated thinking is even more tiring. Soon Wu Zhongyuan was exhausted and groggy and wanted to sleep.

I always have to take off my clothes when I sleep. I sat up and unbuttoned my clothes in a daze. At this moment, a flash of light, clothes, clothes, although the medical record of Master did not specify what clothes he was wearing at the time, there were There is a saying 'the swaddle has a strange fragrance, and it should be sandalwood to soothe the nerves. ’

He doesn't remember what his swaddling looks like, and he's never heard it from Master, but one thing he remembers is that he and his brother's mosquito nets have purple patches on them. The patches are scented, which can repel Mosquito.

Senior brother's mosquito net was taken to the mine by senior brother a few years ago. It is estimated that it was thrown away long ago. He has to go to school and can't have a patched mosquito net, so the mosquito net he used before is still at home.

The patch on the mosquito net was part of his swaddling, which is also an important clue.

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed, but the overjoy quickly turned into annoyance, because he suddenly remembered that his home had been demolished. It had been seven or eight days, and the ruins may have been pulled away.

Thinking of this, I can't sleep until dawn, put on my shoes and run downstairs.

At this time, it was late at night, and he didn't leave the door. He climbed over the wall from the west, performed light work, and ran wildly to the south.

After running for a few miles, I suddenly remembered something. Oops, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. If I run so fast, if I get caught by surveillance cameras, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain.

Now he has money, but he is reluctant to use it. He still climbs the car at the intersection, and he is worried all the way. It is not until he reaches the bottom of the mountain and sees the pile of ruins that he is relieved.

If you practice kung fu, you have to practice qi. People who practice qi can see things clearly at night, and they don't need lighting. They just rummage through the ruins. Fortunately, the mosquito net is still there, and the two patches are also there. The nose smells and smells, it is sandalwood, but the smell is not so strong after a long time.

On the return trip, I came back by bus. I brought three packs of apricots. After getting on the bus, I gave the driver a pack. I fainted in the car that day, and they were sent to the hospital.

When I got to the county seat, I called Lin Qingming again and wanted to give him apricots to eat, but Lin Qingming was not in the county and went to the capital with the boss on a business trip.

Put down the phone and went to the factory where Huang Ping worked to find Huang Ping and gave her a pack of apricots.

Lin Qingming was away, so he had an extra pack. After thinking about it, he went to the hospital to find President Wang. Last time, they confiscated the medical expenses and sent a car to take him back. I have to thank them.

President Wang didn't expect Wu Zhongyuan to take the initiative to find him. He was very surprised to see him. He politely sent away the guest he was receiving and welcomed him in enthusiastically.

Sometimes, what people value is just an attitude. President Wang has never seen any gifts, but he is very happy to see Wu Zhongyuan bringing apricots. This shows that this young man is a polite person and a gift of gratitude. the person who reported.

Without waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to speak, Dean Wang took the initiative to talk about the blood issue. The blood test has not progressed yet. In order to avoid affecting Wu Zhongyuan's life, Dean Wang did not conduct a more detailed test from home, but commissioned a foreign My classmates managed to bring a few blood samples abroad, and they have been tested in foreign countries, but there has been no response so far.

However, there has been progress on the tattoos on Wu Zhongyuan's body. The dragon head tattoos on Wu Zhongyuan's body are very different from the dragons that are common in modern times, and there is nothing similar to it. However, a scholar and friend of President Wang's acquaintance has seen similar dragon pattern.

President Wang took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "Look at it for yourself, turn back, there are several."

Wu Zhongyuan took over the phone and looked at each one carefully. The photo was a bronze ware that he couldn't name, and a dragon was cast on it. But it's not exactly the same.

"This is a sacrificial copper bottle from the Shang Dynasty," said Dean Wang.

Wu Zhongyuan returned the phone to Dean Wang, "It's somewhat similar, but the dragon's beard and the dragon's horns are different, and the eyes are also different. The dragon above has bigger eyes than mine."

"You're right," Dean Wang nodded, "I've also compared carefully, and there are indeed differences, but overall they're very similar. In order not to affect your normal life, I don't want to know about it. The scope of people has been further expanded, so it is impossible to verify on a large scale at present, and it is impossible to determine which of the two patterns is older in a short period of time.”

"Thank you, Dean Wang." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Dean Wang waved his hand, "Have you finished the test, how was the test?"

"It's okay," Wu Zhongyuan said.

President Wang knew some of Wu Zhongyuan's situation and took the initiative to say, "If there is no other arrangement, why don't you come to the hospital to work for a few days and get in touch with the society in advance."

"Thank you, Dean Wang." Wu Zhongyuan stood up and thanked him.

Dean Wang raised his hand and motioned him to sit down, "What do you like to do?"

"As long as you don't go to the morgue for vigils, everything else will do," Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Hahaha," Dean Wang laughed, "the hospital's morgues are all locked, and there is no need to keep watch at night. Well, let's arrange for you to direct the parking."

All Wu Zhongyuan can do is to thank him again.

President Wang picked up the phone on the table and dialed the internal number, "Is there a place to live?"

"I still live in the school." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"The school is too far from here, move here, and I'll arrange a place for you." Speaking of this, the phone was connected, Dean Wang briefly said a few words to the other party, and hung up He called Wu Zhongyuan and said, "Go to the eighth floor to find Section Chief Gao, and he will make arrangements for you."

Wu Zhongyuan thanked him, got up, hesitated, and walked out.

"Anything else?" Dean Wang asked.

Wu Zhongyuan stopped and turned around, "President Wang, I have something here, can you find someone to test it for me?"

"What?" Dean Wang asked.

Wu Zhongyuan walked back to the table and took out a patch, "This."

President Wang took the patch and looked at it carefully, "The fabric hospital can't test it, what is this and where did it come from?"

"This is what I put on the little quilt I had when I was a kid," Wu Zhongyuan said.

As soon as Dean Wang heard this, he hurriedly stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you to find a place for testing."

"It's okay, you are busy with your work, I am not in a hurry." Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed.

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry. I haven't slept well in the past few days." Dean Wang opened the door and went out.

Passing through the eighth floor, Dean Wang personally went to explain a few words to Section Chief Gao, then took Wu Zhongyuan downstairs, got into the car, and said to the driver, "Go to the Institute of Botany."

After the car started, Wu Zhongyuan said again, "President Wang, I have another question for you."

"You said." Dean Wang is still looking at the patch.

"There is a disease that causes coughing and vomiting blood, shortness of breath, swollen face, and paralysis of hands and feet. What kind of disease is this?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"According to your description, this should be an acute disease of the respiratory system." Dean Wang replied casually.

"When it hurts, I can't help pulling my hair." Wu Zhongyuan added.

Dean Wang frowned slightly, thinking hard, but didn't answer.

Seeing that his supplements failed to provide Dean Wang with a further basis for judgment, Wu Zhongyuan added, "The symptoms of this disease can be relieved at 90 in the morning and 90 in the evening. It gets worse at three or four in the morning."

"Insufficient access to oxygen," Dean Wang immediately made an accurate judgment, "This disease is directly related to the change in air pressure within a day, and it is also related to the altitude. The people here appear directly on Mount Everest, That's what you said."

"Apart from the altitude relationship, is there any other possibility?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

President Wang thought for a while and said, "Yes, if a person suddenly appears in a place with very poor air quality from a place with good air quality, he will also have similar symptoms..."
