A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 338 Warming Meridian Decoction

In the free clinic in the small town, although Mr. Zisang had superb medical skills and was very fast in diagnosing diseases, since it was the last day of the month, many patients from farther away also came to the city to seek medical treatment. It was not until dusk that all the patients left. At this time, the two medicine boys were so tired that they collapsed directly at the door of the medicine shop, and Xiaolu disappeared.

After the last patient took the medicine and left, Mr. Zisang took away the stove under his feet, slowly stood up and stretched, and glanced at Si Yao who was still standing alone in front of the wooden table, and couldn't help but smile indifferently:

"It's rare to find someone as studious as you in this world."

"It is my honor to meet a miracle doctor like you. It will be of great benefit to me to learn more medical skills from you. I am also very grateful for your generous teaching today." Si Yao bowed respectfully and thanked sincerely.

After studying with Mr. Zisang for most of the day, Si Yao was amazed at his medical skills and benefited a lot. This senior doctor with superb medical skills not only allowed her to observe his free clinic but also generously explained to her the pathology of many difficult and complicated diseases.

"Your medical skills are not bad either. You are also always striving to learn and accept instruction with an open mind. Besides being humble and self-disciplined, I guess you have met a wise teacher." The old man, Mr. Zisang, walked down the wooden platform, stroking his white beard and continued to smile with his eyes narrowed.

"Senior is very insightful and has a sharp mind and vision. I am impressed. My teacher is indeed a wise doctor who saves lives." Si Yao nodded and smiled slightly.

"No wonder." Mr. Zisang looked at Si Yao with admiration, but soon a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he did not show it, and continued to ask with a smile: "It's getting late, do you have anywhere to go?"

"Not yet. We can find an inn to stay in later. Where is the senior?" Si Yao replied and asked with concern.

"Sister Siyao." Without waiting for Mr. Zisang to respond, Xiaolu suddenly appeared beside the two of them and immediately handed a food box to the old man. He continued, "Mr. Zisang, you have worked hard. I just passed by a pastry shop and bought some for you. Thank you for taking care of us today."

"Thank you very much. Your concern is just a waste of words. But I will not be stingy with the pastries." Hearing that it was pastries, Mr. Zisang felt a little hungry, so he gladly took the food box handed over by Xiaolu and said with a happy smile.

Seeing Mr. Zisang's love for cakes, Xiaolu was relieved and just scratched the back of his head and smiled without saying anything. Si Yao, who was standing by, also looked at Xiaolu with a gratified smile. Mr. Zisang must have been very exhausted after sitting for so long. The cakes were bought in time. She was indeed not as thoughtful as Xiaolu in this regard.

Just as the two pharmacists at the door of the pharmacy came forward to take the food box from the old man, a carriage suddenly stopped in front of the pharmacy. Then a handsome young man hurriedly got off the carriage. When he saw Mr. Zisang, he quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"I thought I was going to miss him, but luckily, I didn't miss Mr. Zisang."

"May I ask what business this young master has brought to me?" Mr. Zisang returned the greeting and asked with a faint smile.

"Please forgive me, Mr. Zisang. I'm Liu Ziyang, from Xucheng, Lanwu. I've hurried here today with my mother to seek medical treatment from you." The young man suddenly frowned, turned his head to look at the closed door of the carriage, then solemnly saluted to Mr. Zisang again, and continued to sigh: "My mother has been ill for almost three months, and many doctors have failed to cure her. It was only recently that I heard about Mr. Zisang's righteous deeds of saving the dying and the wounded and showing compassion for the people, and that the people of Lanwu have praised him as a deity who saves all living beings. I admire you very much, and I also want to seek medical treatment from you for my mother. I hope Mr. Zisang will pity my sincere filial piety and save my mother." After the young man finished speaking, he could no longer hold back his tears.

"Cough cough." At the same time, two light coughs suddenly sounded in the carriage.

"What are the symptoms of your mother's illness?" The old man also glanced at the carriage, and then asked the young man in front of him.

"This...is a woman's disease, so I can't really explain it." The young man looked embarrassed and lowered his head and spoke softly to the old man.

Mr. Zisang understood, so the old man turned and went into the pharmacy's clinic.

Not long after, the young man came into the consulting room holding a middle-aged woman who was wrapped tightly but still pale and weak. Mr. Zisang and Si Yao were already waiting in the room.

"Mother, don't worry. Mr. Zisang is a miracle doctor and will definitely cure your illness." The young man put the woman on the warm chair and comforted her softly. Then he stood up and bowed to Mr. Zisang. When he turned around, he was surprised to see Si Yao standing at the door. His eyes couldn't help but flash with light, but he quickly walked out of the clinic.

"Doctor, I'm almost fifty years old this year. I was originally menopausal, but I started bleeding again in the past three months. Although not much, it occurs more than half a month every month. Also, at night I have a fever all over my body, my lower abdomen is bloated and painful, my palms are hot, and my lips and mouth are dry." After Si Yao closed the door of the clinic, the woman slowly raised her eyes, and with a worried look on her face, she sighed softly to Mr. Zisang who was sitting in front of her.

"Has the madam ever had a miscarriage?" Mr. Zisang asked as he began to feel the woman's pulse.

Women's diseases are always complicated and changeable, and this is a woman who has just completed menopause. Mr. Zisang would ask a few more questions when he met such patients.

"One year after giving birth to my youngest son, I accidentally got pregnant again. However, I had a miscarriage within a few months. Since then, my body has not been as good as before." The woman hesitated for a moment, then sighed truthfully with red eyes.

"Madam's leucorrhea is probably caused by the fact that the blood stasis after your miscarriage was not completely removed and remains in your lower abdomen and uterus. In addition, your uterus has always been cold and weak, causing the blood stasis to stagnate inside. You must use medicine to remove the stasis as soon as possible." After taking her pulse, Mr. Zisang smiled and slowly explained the condition.

"So, can my illness be cured?" After hearing what Mr. Zisang said, the woman's dull eyes instantly brightened up.

"Of course." Mr. Zisang nodded, and then asked Si Yao: "Do you know what medicine should be used for this disease?"

"For long-term cold blood or blood stasis in the uterus, you can use Wenjing Decoction. Evodia rutaecarpa activates the liver meridian and helps liver blood enter the uterus. Angelica, Chuanxiong, and Paeonia lactiflora nourish and increase blood. Ginseng, cinnamon twig, ginger, and licorice are all yang-promoting medicines that both generate yang and activate blood. Ejiao stops bleeding and nourishes blood. Cortex moutan is a medicine for attacking blood stasis. Ophiopogon nourishes yin and clears heat. Pinellia ternata clears stomach qi. The above twelve herbs are used together to form Wenjing Decoction, which warms the meridians and dispels cold, nourishes blood, and removes blood stasis."

After Si Yao answered, Mr. Zisang still gave her an appreciative smile.
