Chapter 550 Arsenic as Medicine
What's more, there is Zhang Dong beside Ding Yunfeng now. If Zhang Dong is targeted by those people because of him, then he will blame himself too much.
Zhang Dong drove Ding Yunfeng straight to Mengjia Pharmacy.
When he arrived at the place, he had just entered the drugstore, and the old store manager of the back drugstore came quickly to greet him, with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, you are here! Are you here to get medicine in our store? Or are you here for our eldest lady's business?"
Mentioning Meng Xiaotong, Zhang Dong's face changed slightly, and the scene of Meng Xiaotong domineeringly riding on him flashed in his mind, calling himself my mother, and unbuttoning his shirt with his hands.
"Ahem, what, I'm not here for Meng Xiaotong's matter, but I plan to grab two sets of medicine from you and boil it on the spot." Zhang Dong coughed and said.
At this time, Ding Yunfeng also staggered in, holding his chest.
Although the root cause of his disease is in his chest, when his chest hurts, his whole body hurts.
Zhang Dong knew what kind of disease Ding Yunfeng had, and also knew how painful the patient would be when the disease attacks.
Because of this, Ding Yunfeng's tenacious performance won Zhang Dong's respect.
"Mr. Zhang needs to get some medicine! Okay, I'll get it for you myself right now. Where's the prescription?" the old store manager chuckled.
Zhang Dong looked around and saw a pen and paper in the corner of the counter, so he quickly walked forward, picked up the pen and paper and started writing.
Only then did the old store manager realize that Zhang Dong wanted to make a prescription on the spot.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on Ding Yunfeng beside him.
Obviously, the recipe written by Zhang Dong was probably for Ding Yunfeng!
I just don’t know what the relationship is between this white-haired man and Zhang Dong.
Not long after, Zhang Dong had written the prescription and came over to hand it to the old store manager.
"Uncle, help me prepare the medicine according to this recipe, and then use a wood stove to decoct the medicine. Remember to use firewood. This recipe has unique medicinal properties. If you use a decoction machine, the effect will be greatly reduced!"
The old store manager took the prescription and took a look at it. His pupils shrank and he couldn't help blurting out: "This... this prescription will kill someone if you eat it!"
Due to shock, the old store manager's voice was a little louder, and all the clerks in the store heard it.
For a moment, the clerks all looked at Zhang Dong.
They knew Zhang Dong.
Zhang Dong once saved a young man who almost died in their store before and helped their pharmacy resolve the crisis.
But the old store manager actually said that Zhang Dong’s recipe will kill people. Is this an exaggeration?
"Store manager, are you wrong? This is Mr. Zhang! His medical skills are so impressive that even the eldest ladies praise him!" A store clerk who had seen Zhang Dong save people with acupuncture couldn't help but said.
Others also nodded.
They also didn't believe that a man with such superb medical skills as Zhang Dong could prescribe a prescription that could kill people.
Being questioned by everyone, the old store manager couldn't help but snorted.
"Whether this prescription will kill people, you can see for yourself!"
As he spoke, he angrily handed the prescription to the clerk who came forward, clasping his hands behind his back and saying nothing.
The clerk took it and glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed.
"This... realgar! Cinnabar! There's even arsenic! Is this a prescription?"
Hearing the word "arsenic", the clerks in the store immediately went crazy and rushed over one after another to get the prescription.
A look of satisfaction appeared on the old store manager's face.
But soon, he snorted again, obviously angry with the clerks.
Zhang Dong's prescription contains several poisons.
Not to mention arsenic alone, it was the most famous poison in ancient times!
In Water Margin, Pan Jinlian relied on arsenic to poison her husband Wu Dalang to death.
When the clerks saw that there were indeed these poisonous things on the prescription, they all looked at Zhang Dong in shock.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have dared to imagine that this kind of prescription would have been prescribed by the young man who acted like a miracle doctor last time.
Is it possible that Zhang Dong just got lucky last time and got fooled?
"Mr. Zhang, I suggest that you take this prescription back! Otherwise, whoever takes this medicine will definitely die! The amount of arsenic in it is too large!" the old store manager advised earnestly.
In fact, in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many cases of using arsenic as medicine.
But in these cases, the amount of arsenic used was basically negligible.
There is a well-known saying in modern chemistry that talking about toxicity regardless of dose is pure nonsense.
Even if it is the most poisonous poison, if it is diluted to a sufficient range, nothing will happen to people who eat it.
Even though the salt that people eat every day seems harmless, if you eat too much at one time, you will be poisoned and die!
The crux of the problem now is that the amount of arsenic used in Zhang Dong's prescription is too large, ten times that of other traditional Chinese medicine!
If the patient were to take such a large dose, he would probably have to die early!
Faced with the old store manager's advice, Zhang Dong laughed.
"Uncle, you don't have to persuade me. This prescription is absolutely right for the patient! And it's impossible to eat it from a dead person! The various medicines in the prescription are compatible with each other, and the properties of the medicines in them can neutralize each other!" Zhang Dong said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old store manager frowned tightly:
"Mr. Zhang, I have never seen this recipe before. I wonder which ancient medical book it comes from?"
"Medical book? There is no medical book. I just figured out this recipe on the way here!" Zhang Dong said.
"This..." the old store manager couldn't help but was dumbfounded: "This... isn't this a joke on the patient's life? You are using toxic drugs, and there are no cases before, how can you give them to the patient directly?
!”
"Who said that all prescriptions must follow ancient prescriptions? This prescription of mine is carefully formulated, and the medicinal properties of every drug in it are brought into full play. By then, the toxicity of arsenic will not be a problem at all!" Zhang Dong said and waved his hand.
Seeing that he still looked "obsessed", the old store manager sighed and simply turned to look at Ding Yunfeng.
"Sir, Mr. Zhang's prescription should be prescribed for you, right? I would like to advise you, sir, you must not take medicine according to this prescription, it will kill you!" said the old store manager.
The old store manager thought that after he said this, Ding Yunfeng would suddenly wake up and refuse to take the medicine prescribed by Zhang Dong.
But what he never expected was that Ding Yunfeng burst into laughter.
"Isn't it just arsenic? This little brother said that his prescription can neutralize the poison. Since the little brother said so, of course I have to take it! Go and get the medicine according to the prescription!"
As soon as Ding Yunfeng's words came out, the expressions of everyone in the store changed again. Unexpectedly, there are people in the world who are not afraid of death.
Zhang Dong prescribes prescriptions as if it were for fun. It would be better for you to play with him at the risk of your own life.
