Chapter 161 Incense Burner(1/2)
At noon on March 8, Lu Cheng suddenly received a call from Lu Mingzhen, his voice sounded a little low.
"I am your Aunt Lu, can you come to my house?"
"Aunt Lu? Are you back from Shangjing?"
"Well, please come here and I want to ask you something."
"Okay, I'll go there later."
Three o'clock in the afternoon,
Lu Cheng came to No. 336, Shengfu Qian Street.
Lu Mingzhen's complexion is very dull, with thick dark circles under her eyes, and it looks like she has not rested well.
Lu Cheng asked: "Aunt Lu, please take care of yourself and don't be too tired."
Lu Mingzhen forced a smile and said: "There is something going on at home. My father is dying, and the hospital issued two critical illness notices.
I will stay with you in the hospital for a few days,
My mental strength is haggard and I can’t hold on any longer.”
"How long will the old man live?"
"78 years old. It's not considered a long life. It's not even close to the average life span of Chinese people."
Lu Cheng sighed lightly: "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune."
Lu Mingzhen looked at him and said: "I am suffering from an acute illness and I went to the doctor indiscriminately. Please come over and ask me if I have anything to ask."
"Auntie, don't be polite. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
"My dad has late-stage liver cancer. Western medicine performed surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but it didn't have much effect. I have given up now. I went to the provincial traditional Chinese medicine doctor to consult several experts, and someone prescribed a prescription, but it was difficult for my dad to get the right medicine;
I met acupuncture expert Huo Mingan, and he said that ordinary acupuncture has no effect. After all, it is an advanced stage of liver cancer, and traditional Chinese medicine cannot treat the disease.
I am helpless in every possible way,
After repeated requests, he gave me a message,
It is said that Academician Huang Yingyi is studying a new type of mugwort,
Several different ingredients have been discovered,
Perhaps mugwort can be used for treatment.
Maybe it can have some effect."
When Lu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Aunt Lu, to tell you the truth, I only have a little bit of that mugwort. It was originally used for research and has not been made into moxa sticks. Moreover, I doubt its effectiveness.
It is limited and cannot reverse late-stage liver cancer."
Lu Mingzhen said: "Huo Mingan said that moxibustion can relieve pain, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, warm and nourish yang energy, and strengthen the source. You can give it a try."
Lu Cheng shook his head: "Aunt Lu, it's not my fault. This matter is really difficult."
Lu Ming tried hard to maintain a smile and said slowly: "Lu Cheng,
I'm very familiar with your father,
I learned something about you from him. You made soup at home, which made your father's health improve, and you also won the championship in the senior group of the Daishan Mountaineering Festival last year! In the train crash last year, only you and Jiang Qiuyun survived. You grew from an ordinary college student
, became an Olympic champion. Many miracles have happened to you. Many miracles are difficult to understand. Because of this, aunt asked you for advice to see if there is any way you can bring my father back to life."
Lu Cheng still shook his head: "Aunt Lu, the moxa velvet for making moxa sticks must be prepared in advance. The old moxa leaves are dried and pestled repeatedly, screened, and impurities removed to make them as soft and fine as cotton, which is the moxa velvet. And the moxa velvet is
There are two types. The one processed by the above method is coarse moxa velvet, and you can get six or seven taels per pound, which is suitable for general moxibustion. If it is processed more carefully, it has been dried in the sun for dozens of times and sifted dozens of times, you can only get two taels per pound.
, three or two, turn into khaki, fine moxa velvet, and can be used for direct moxibustion. The whole process cannot be completed in less than two months, and now it is too late. Moreover, moxa sticks are moxibustion materials, and moxibustion materials were banned by the country in 2017.
The Food and Drug Administration has included Class II medical devices in the management, and private preparation will also be in trouble..."
Lu Mingzhen was a little disappointed. She lowered her head and took a deep breath. Then she raised her head and said, "Is there really no other way? Lu Cheng, if you are willing to help me, I have two family heirlooms for you to choose from. One is Yan Zhenqing's.
Calligraphy, and an ancient incense burner. The calligraphy is stored in a bank safe and cannot be taken out. Let me show you the incense burner. Here, it is placed in the corner of the living room."
She got up and walked a few steps, walked to the corner and squatted down. She was so weak that she couldn't get up!
She sat on the floor, took a deep breath, and paused for a moment before saying: "This is not an ordinary incense burner, it is not a bronze or iron, but a gold. Look at the dense textures on it. I have studied a lot.
I haven’t figured it out for years.”
Lu Cheng cast his Zhanzhang Qi Technique and took a glance, only to see a golden light shooting straight to the roof!
"Oh! It's really a treasure! Aunt Lu, where did you get this treasure?"
Lu Mingzhen kept silent: "Lu Cheng, unless you can help me, I won't tell you."
Lu Cheng widened his eyes and looked at the complex texture on the surface of the incense burner, which was about a foot tall. He recognized many runes in an instant and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that this turned out to be a magical weapon handed down from ancient times! This magical weapon
The utensil is so precious! It may be in the same vein as the "Illustrated Records of Stone Tombs"!"
Lu Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "I have some homemade bear bile powder, which should be effective against liver cancer. But it has not been clinically tested and has no approval from the Food and Drug Administration. You know the risks, I can give you capsules,
But I don’t want to ask for trouble.”
Lu Mingzhen tried her best to stand up, swayed twice, and said: "Give me the capsule without leaving any text or video, so there won't be any trouble. Whether or not you use the capsule is my business. If anything happens, I'll be responsible for it."
My father is dying, so why are we afraid of the risk?"
Lu Cheng took out 30 capsules and said: "One capsule every 8 hours, three capsules a day. This is a 10-day supply. Tell me the results after eating. If it works, this incense burner will be mine. Auntie, please forgive me."
What I did is not because of my own control, but because I have never used bear bile powder after making it, so I don’t know what effect it has. I just speculate based on the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine that it should be more effective in treating liver and gallbladder diseases.
The strong effect is definitely much better than moxibustion. It involves a lot of risks. I am timid. Please keep it confidential and do not reveal the source of the bear bile powder. If others ask, I will not admit it.
."
Lu Mingzhen took the capsule, her eyes filled with hope, and said: "I know, I will keep it a secret for you. Just take the incense burner away. No matter what the result is, you have helped."
"Let's wait until the effect comes out. Auntie, I have to go back."
"Okay, I have to go to the hospital quickly."
The two of them went out one after another.
Lu Mingzhen came to the hospital and saw her old father, Lu Wanjiang, with a blue and black complexion, lying on the hospital bed and moaning non-stop.
Although I have taken analgesics, the late stage of liver cancer is still very difficult, including weight loss, swollen hands and feet, slurred speech, rapid heartbeat, fever, abdominal distension, diarrhea, and vomiting blood. The good thing is that I am not yet in a coma.
Lv Mingzhen asked the nurse to help her, helped Lv Wanjiang up and fed him a capsule.
Then Lv Wanjiang lay down again. In the first two hours, he kept turning over, his face was distorted, and his whole body was twitching, which scared Lv Mingzhen to the core.
In any case, this is also a foreign drug. If it is a highly toxic drug that caused Lu Wanjiang's death, then this matter will be troublesome! After all, he is a retired senior official, and natural death is different from death by poisoning. Even his biological daughter has to worry about it.
It doesn’t matter!
Fortunately, two hours later, Lu Wanjiang's condition improved greatly and he fell asleep peacefully!
Lu Mingzhen gave her father medicine at four o'clock in the afternoon. She didn't dare to pretend to be someone else's, and stayed in front of the hospital bed herself, watching her father sleep from 6 o'clock to 11 o'clock. When he woke up, his complexion improved greatly, and she felt relieved.
.
She served her father something to eat, waited until it was close to 12 o'clock, fed him another capsule, and then went home to rest.
Early the next morning, she came again.
At this time, Lu Wanjiang looked better and could sit up and eat breakfast by himself.
"Mingzhen, what medicine did you give me? I feel warm all over. It feels very comfortable, as if I'm not sick."
Lu Mingzhen said: "Dad, I got a capsule and took a huge risk for you to take it. I didn't expect it to be really effective."
"What kind of capsule?"
"Dad, I promise to keep it a secret. Don't ask about the capsules, and don't tell the doctor. Just take the medicine regularly. One pill every 8 hours, don't miss it."
"Daughter, you have worked too hard. Give me the capsule. I will control myself and take the medicine on time."
"Not yet, your condition is not stable yet."
Three days later, Lu Wanjiang's condition improved. His body temperature returned to normal, his heartbeat dropped to 72 beats per minute, there was no diarrhea or hematemesis, and he slept peacefully.
The doctor's examination found that the enlarged liver had shrunk a bit. The surface of the liver was originally uneven and had many nodules of different sizes. At this time, the tumor nodules were inexplicably reduced by 30%!
The doctor asked the nursing staff and the patient's family members, but found nothing unusual and thought it was strange.
Lu Mingzhen saw that her father's condition had stabilized, so she took out a few capsules and let her father take them by himself.
At the same time, she drove herself to deliver the incense burner to Qingquan Villa.
"The capsules are effective! Thank you very much! Lu Cheng, can you give me a few more capsules? I'm afraid that ten days' dosage is not enough."
Lu Cheng gave her dozens more pills: "Auntie, after 10 days and 20 days of eating, do a check-up. If the cancer cells disappear, don't eat so much. Just take one pill every month."

Lu Mingzhen smiled and said: "I remember."
"Where did your incense burner come from?"
"Someone gave it to my father. I'll tell you the address, but you have to keep it a secret from me."
