Chapter 1000: A Thousand Arrows Piercing My Heart
Tangong Mountain is more than 4,100 meters above sea level, with a relative height difference of more than 800 meters at its highest point. The mountain is steep and the scenery is varied. The winding mountain trail stretches for more than 60 kilometers. A round trip up and down the mountain takes at least 20 hours for a young and middle-aged man, almost without stopping on the way. If that guy staggers back along the mountain trail in the rain, the degree of coldness in his body is unimaginable for non-Chinese medicine practitioners.
Su Linwen and the others just relied on their youth and blood to fight hard. On the surface, it seems that they just caught a cold for a few days and it will go away.
As a top-notch Chinese medicine expert, Bian Mu knows it best. Not to mention that Xiaoying's weak constitution can't bear it at all, even Su Linwen's strong constitution can't bear it.
Fortunately, Lu Yisi rescued in time, greatly shortening the duration of the waterfall rainstorm, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable.
Bian Mu turned on the TV and arranged for Xiaoying to watch TV for a while. From the corner of his eye, Bian Mu found that Xiaoying liked to watch the documentary channel. She was leaning on the sofa and watching it intently. At this moment, Bian Mu was finally not too worried.
"Not bad! She is still calm. Alas! She is still young and doesn't know the importance of things!" Bian Mu thought to himself.
Bian Mu walked into the study, opened a simple medicine box, and found some Chinese medicinal materials called "Cimicifuga" and "Bupleurum". There was a high-end scale in the corner of the desk. It was a small gift from Mr. Yang, a business owner of the "Huatian Ghost Market". It was an old Western imported product, a genuine product, and quite useful.
Bian Mu walked to the desk, adjusted the scale, weighed one portion of "Cimicifuga", 8g, one portion of "Bupleurum", 5g, a bag of special straw paper, and put the remaining medicinal materials back to their original place.
Afterwards, Bian Mu came to the kitchen and said to Su Linwen: "Luckily Lu Yisi arrived in time that day, otherwise, not to mention Xiaoying, you would have been seriously ill with your physique. If you are lucky enough, you will just have a runny nose after returning to the city, and the cold will be cured in three or five days. But it will cause big trouble. The cold air in your body will flow to other places and accumulate, and you will have irregular biological explosions in the future!"
"Ah?! Is it that serious?"
"What do you think?! I have treated a problematic businessman named Shao, a porcelain master named Peng, and a big businessman named Fang. The reason why the three of them eventually died of illness at an early age was largely because they accumulated a large amount of different kinds of "evil" air in their bodies for various reasons. In the end, the power of medicine was insufficient, and they all died one by one. The irony is that none of them was short of money." As he spoke, Bian Mu briefly introduced the most fatal root causes and sources of Shao, Peng Yihai, and Fang Yiqin's diseases.
Although they were chatting, Bian Mu's hands were not idle. After a while, he found a white casserole, which was neither too big nor too small, and the size was just right.
Hearing Bian Mu's serious words, Su Linwen, who was always very outgoing, was somewhat startled. The toothpick used to pick the shrimp thread in her left hand accidentally pierced into the shrimp meat. Realizing that she was somewhat out of control, Su Linwen quickly pulled out the toothpick and neatly cleaned up the prawns in her hand.
"Put all the seafood ingredients back in the refrigerator. You two can't touch it within six weeks. Try not to touch spicy, greasy, sweets... and the like. In principle, in the past month or so, you two have to arrange three meals a day according to the recipe I prescribed, and wait until the pulse condition completely returns to normal before it is over." While explaining, Bian Mu found a pot brush to clean the white casserole and put clean water in it.
"Oh! We will definitely listen to you. What are you going to do? Are you going to boil medicine for us now?!" Su Linwen asked in surprise.
"It's not about boiling medicine. Let's boil some medicine first to lay a foundation. I've been to Tan Gong Mountain. You know, I have kung fu skills. I set out at 7 o'clock in the morning. My classmate kept time for me. It took me more than 9 hours. It was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon before I successfully climbed to Lan Yue Pavilion. I know how long that road is. In addition, you should know that mountain rain and urban rainfall under the background of urban rain island are two completely different concepts in traditional Chinese medicine. What's more, how thick can you wear in this season?! In addition, the mountain wind is like a blade, and every blade stimulates yang. I really didn't scare you. Your experience is described in ancient medical books. It's called 'a thousand arrows piercing the heart'!" While explaining, Bian Mu opened the straw paper bag and threw the Cimicifuga into the casserole, covered the pot and boiled it for a while.
The red dates were ready, and they were the "Qianlihong" that Old Liang had sent a few days ago. You couldn't use a knife, so you had to tear them into two pieces with your hands and keep them for later use.
Su Linwen knew what level of medical skills Bian Mu had. Hearing his serious tone, she realized that she and Xiaoying had indeed been in great danger this time.
"This kind of date is called 'Qianlihong', which is wild and is considered the ancestor of red dates. Its food and medicine value is comparable to ginseng. You two are really lucky. Old Liang only gave me five or six kilograms a few days ago. I originally wanted to take it home for my mother during the holiday. As long as you take this stuff, your illness will be reduced by at least half!" As he spoke, Bian Mu found a few pieces of fresh ginger and cut them into about nine slices, neither too thick nor too thin.
"Hearing what you said, I will definitely let you know in advance next time I go out!" Su Linwen said with a lingering fear.
"Of course not! The sources of disease accumulated when you are young can kill you when you are old! It's okay! Let's go to the living room to eat some fruit with Xiaoying. She uses Cimicifuga and you use Bupleurum. The other two ingredients are red dates and ginger. She adds brown sugar and you add rock sugar. Remember it in your mind, it may come in handy in the future!" As he spoke, Bian Mu turned the stove to the minimum and walked to the living room with Su Linwen.
"My physique is better than hers, so the medicine I use is milder? Is that the reason?" Su Linwen asked casually.
"That's not the case. Your basic constitutions are not of the same type. Besides, she already has a basic disease. She has to be careful all her life. For example, childbirth, confinement, severe colds, and preoperative preparations for surgery... All aspects are different from ordinary people, and they will be with you for the rest of your life! You are a healthy person. You only use some Bupleurum to promote yang. The amount is very small. You are not a doctor. You can't imagine the intensity of the mountain rain and the poison of the mountain wind. Fortunately, you mentioned this to me early. If you delay for a while, you will not be able to escape." Sitting on the sofa, Bian Mu explained in a serious tone.
After listening to this explanation, Su Linwen was slightly surprised. In view of her close friendship with Bian Mu, Su Linwen was relieved immediately.
There was a large fruit platter on the table. Su Linwen and Xiaoying had worked hard for a long time to prepare it. Bian Mu picked up a large spoon and picked out the Sunshine Rose grapes one by one without any special explanation.
"Come! I have to take your pulse too!" As he said this, Bian Mu took Su Linwen's pulse on the coffee table.
