Chapter 400 Hua Tuo: Practicing Medicine Can't Save Han People (Three in One)
Chapter 400 Hua Tuo: Practicing medicine cannot save the Han people (three-in-one)
Huang Zhong felt that the foot doctor in front of him had some real skills, so he walked up to talk and inquire.
When the middle-aged doctor in front of them said that his name was Hua Tuo, Huang Zhong, Xun Yu, and some of the people around them behaved very calmly.
No one showed the expression or behavior of looking up to the mountains and looking up to the great God.
After all, Hua Tuo was only middle-aged at this time, and he had not yet done anything as famous as healing Zhou Tai, who was seriously injured.
Not to mention saying to Boss Cao, 'This is easy, just split the head open with a sharp ax...' or something like that.
He had some reputation in the places where he had been active before, but it was far from the level of being famous all over the world.
This is Yizhou, which is too far away from Jiangdong and other places where Hua Tuo often lived, so people don't know Hua Tuo's name.
"It turned out to be a Chinese doctor..."
Huang Zhong saluted and said.
Huang Zhong has always treated doctors with great respect.
He also treated the unknown foot doctor in front of him with the same utmost respect.
After all, he had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
This kind of hope is not something you only have when you see Hua Tuo, but it comes from your heart when you see every doctor...
After Huang Zhong said a few words to Hua Tuo, he saluted Hua Tuo and told Hua Tuo to continue his work. He would not delay Hua Tuo's diagnosis of everyone's illness.
He returned to the busy simple camp and took one of the lucky sheep tied to the back of the carriage aside.
Then he controlled it with one hand, and struck the sheep with the back of a knife between its two horns with the other hand.
It didn't seem that much force was used, but the sheep suddenly kicked upright, and then fell straight to the ground and died.
There is no unnecessary struggle.
This is a weakness attack.
After doing this, he ordered Zhou Cang to skin the sheep and put it in the pot.
Zhou Cang happily picked up the sheep with one hand, tied one leg with a rope and hung it on the tree. He held a sharp knife in one hand and handled it quickly with his hands and feet. In a short time, he skinned the sheep out.
The other soldiers were also very happy and in high spirits.
Because what happened at this time showed that they would have a good meal at night.
The remaining sheep, however, had no feelings at all about this bloody scene. They were still grazing quietly there, looking leisurely and contented...
Over there, Hua Tuo was still seeing patients there, unaffected by the weather.
He waited until the sky darkened for a long time, and then he started to rest after seeing all the patients.
He diagnoses and treats patients quickly, but is not impatient.
Many times, he revealed some symptoms that the patient had not mentioned.
It is not expensive to collect consultation fees, and there are many types of consultation fees.
Those who could afford the money were given money, and those who had no money at home were given cloth.
Cloth at this time can also be circulated as money and its general equivalent.
Some were given some grains and other food, and some were carrying two rabbits.
There was an old woman carrying only a bamboo basket of konjac...
He didn't want to be too little, he just treated these people and prescribed medicine.
He didn't say that he didn't want to see a doctor because the other person brought few things, or how cold he was.
A long-term illness makes a good doctor.
Huang Zhong's son is a medicine jar. He has been dealing with various doctors and medicinal materials all year round.
I have a deep understanding of how much it costs to see a doctor and take medicine.
He paid attention to the situation here and found that several people gave him things as medical fees, but he couldn't buy the medicine prescribed by this foot doctor at all.
It means that the podiatrists are losing money treating these people.
But even so, the doctor named Hua Tuo treated the patient with great seriousness and cordiality, without showing any sign of disgust.
Respect arose in Huang Zhong's heart, knowing that he had met an extremely rare doctor.
These days, there are really not many doctors who can practice medicine like this and treat patients like this...
"Chinese doctors, come here to eat, specially cooking your meals.
The freshly killed sheep and the boiled soup are delicious."
Seeing Hua Tuo and the patients after seeing the treatment and preparing to let the disciples who followed him light a fire to cook, Huang Zhong came over, saluted Hua Tuo, and said so kindly and politely.
On the one hand, he respected the rare qualities of the chiropractor named Hua Tuo. On the other hand, he saw that the chiropractor's medical skills seemed to be very unusual, so he wanted to let Hua Tuo and his children take a look.
What if it’s good?
It is with this in mind that over the years, Huang Zhong and Huang Xu have been constantly seeking medical advice.
This Hua Tuo was also a wonderful man. He did not say anything about not eating the food he came to, nor did he show any displeasure.
He immediately smiled and said, "It would be better to obey orders than to be respectful."
After saying that, he looked back at the two disciples and said with a smile: "Now you and I are in a good mood."
Huang Zhong was overjoyed to see Hua Tuo so free and easy, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, he was worried that this person was pedantic and difficult to talk to, and he would regard his sincere invitation as being superior and would not accept it.
Immediately, he hurriedly smiled and led Hua Tuo and his disciples to their camp.
When he arrived at the camp, Huang Zhong personally picked up the spoon and bowl and served Hua Tuo and his disciples the rice.
Hua Tuo quickly stopped him: "I can't do it, I can't do it. The general has a distinguished status. Hua Tuo's master and apprentice are just doctors. People who are not popular. If they can accept the general's invitation and come to dinner, they will already have a good reputation. How dare they let the general serve him?"
meal?"
The general Hua Tuo referred to at this time was not an actual reference, but an honorific title.
This is similar to how people in later generations call each other boss after meeting.
When Hua Tuo said such words to Huang Zhong at this time, he was not being modest, but speaking the truth.
In today's era, although doctors are in the business of treating illnesses and saving lives, their social status is not high.
Especially compared with officials, generals and schools, they are even worse.
It was precisely because of this that he said this.
Huang Zhong heard this and said with a smile while serving rice: "People are sick, but there is no distinction between rich and poor. I see Chinese doctors treating diseases equally, without distinction based on their status.
Why should we talk about identity at this time?"
When Hua Tuo heard this, he laughed and scolded Huang Zhong, "I'm just being pretentious."
With that said, he took the mutton soup from Huang Zhong's hands and came to the side.
Some disciples brought chopsticks and pancakes.
Hua Tuo just sat on the floor and started eating without paying much attention to his image.
This is quite similar to the surrounding soldiers.
Soon, Huang Zhong came to Hua Tuo's side, carrying a large bowl with two large pancakes stuck on the chopsticks, sat on the floor, and began to eat.
While eating, he chatted with Hua Tuo.
Xun Yu also came over, but he didn't speak much and paid more attention to his image. He didn't sit on the ground to eat like everyone else.
“Chinese doctors have excellent medical skills, solve the problems of the people, and rejuvenate countless people with their wonderful skills.
Geng Jian has a benevolent heart as a doctor..."
After talking for a while, Huang Zhong said to Hua Tuo.
Some of these words are exaggerated, but most of them are sincere.
He really felt that the foot doctor in front of him named Hua Tuo was very good.
Not only the medical skills, but also the kindness of the doctor is rare.
With words like this, under normal circumstances, it’s all hello to you, me, and everyone.
Unexpectedly, when Hua Tuo heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then he sighed: "No matter how good your medical skills are, it is of no use. Practicing medicine cannot save the Han people."
Huang Zhong and Xun Yu couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.
They did not expect that the foot doctor named Hua Tuo in front of them would actually say such words at this time.
Practicing medicine cannot save the Han people.
Just this one sentence has surpassed countless people.
"Why do Chinese doctors say this?"
The person who asked was not Huang Zhong, but Xun Yu, who had been silent all this time.
Hua Tuo said: "As I travel and practice medicine, I see that the once powerful Han Dynasty is increasingly falling apart and the people are becoming more and more miserable.
Along the way, many prosperous places in the past have become dilapidated, with bones exposed in the wild, and thousands of miles away from people...
Although my practice of medicine can save some people, how many can I save?
After all, it is limited.
No matter how hard I try, I can't change this change even a little bit.
From this we can see that this Han man cannot be cured by medical practice."
Saying this, he looked rather lonely...
“Chinese doctors have the world at heart, which is really admirable.
But what he said is also somewhat biased.
Chinese doctors save lives and heal the wounded, treat illnesses and save people. If they can save one person, then that is the only one.
It may not seem like it would help the situation, but in the end it saved some Han people and saved them from death."
Xun Yu answered the question.
Huang Zhong also said: "On the whole, what Chinese doctors say is indeed good, but from a small perspective, what Chinese doctors do is really admirable.
At least those who have been saved by Chinese doctors and survived will never think that the actions of Chinese doctors are unnecessary or that they are doing useless work."
Hearing this, Hua Tuo smiled and said, "I feel much better after being spoken to by you two."
After that, he sighed again and said: "I am a doctor, and I learned the art of healing people.
Although we see that today's great men are falling apart and their illnesses are becoming more and more serious, as if they are getting old and dying, they can only act in a hurry and there is nothing they can do.
I regret that I started practicing medicine instead of learning how to govern a country, otherwise I wouldn’t be like this..."
Xun Yu also sighed and said: "Nowadays, even if they learn how to govern a country, there are still many people who can only sigh and make no achievements.
The princes in the court and many officials in various places have learned how to govern the country, but what achievements have they made in today's world?
There are many people who not only fail to save the country, but are actually harming it!
This caused many Han people to suffer.
Compared with these people, Chinese doctors are much higher than them."
"I have never asked you for your surname."
Hua Tuo looked at Xun Yu and said.
Xun Yu bowed his hands to him: "Xun's family in Yingchuan, Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo."
When Hua Tuo heard this, he raised his hands to Xun Yu and said, "Could it be that he is a member of Xun Sikong's family?"
Xun Yu said: "Xun Sikong is my uncle."
"I heard General Huang say before that Mr. Xun Lang and his party were going to Yizhou. I wonder what they were going for?
But...but looking for someone who can heal the country?"
Hua Tuo looked at Xun Yu and Huang Zhong and asked.
Xun Yu heard this and said: "I am not only looking for people who can heal the country, I am also looking for people who can heal people."
Hearing this, Hua Tuo nodded, with a smile on his face: "So, the person we are looking for is the same person."
Xun Yu said: "How can Chinese doctors be sure that the people who heal the country are in Yizhou?"
Hua Tuo smiled and said: "While I was practicing medicine, I also traveled around. I went to many places, heard about and met many people, and learned a lot of things.
Wherever he passed, there were many ruins and hardships, but after arriving in Guanzhong, he witnessed an extraordinary scene.
Compared with Nanyang and other large counties, the prosperity of Guanzhong is far inferior.
But Guanzhong has a spirit that is not found in those places.
Although those places are prosperous, their prosperity is lifeless and full of decay.
Although Guanzhong has just regained its vitality, it is like the stump of a thousand-year-old tree sprouting new buds.
Although it is weak, it has a bright future.
I am just a doctor, and I am not sure that there are people in Yizhou who can heal the country, but judging from what I have seen so far, that person does a better job than many, many others, and I can compare with them all.
So, I want to take a look."
Xun Yu raised his hands to Hua Tuo and said, "I think so too.
You'd better not let me down!
Nowadays, the Han Dynasty really can't bear the trouble.
If there are no people with real ability to heal the country, I'm afraid there will really be no way to save the country..."
After talking like this for a while, the few of us actually felt like we had found a confidant.
Sometimes, fate is so wonderful.
These three people, one is a scribe, one is a military general, and the other is a doctor. They talk about things, but they have a sense of like-mindedness.
Perhaps this is the beautiful thing and the greatness of family and country feelings.
Especially when the country is in crisis and its survival is at stake, it can resonate with more people.
Let more people who had nothing to do with each other in the past have similar strong desires and similar ideals.
Get rid of all the other thoughts and put this ideal first...
"Han Sheng, I see that your son seems to be feeling very unwell. I am proficient in some medical skills, so how about I diagnose him?"
After some conversation, they have become familiar with each other a lot.
Instead of calling each other by various honorifics, they began to address each other by words.
Huang Zhongdao: "I'm just asking for help. If Yuanhua doesn't tell me, I'll ask Yuanhua to take action later to diagnose and treat my dog."
Hua Tuo smiled and said, "This is easy to say. I won't talk about the rest. Just because of this delicious mutton soup, I will give you a good diagnosis."
The words were so interesting that Huang Zhong and Xunyu both started laughing.
After laughing for a while, Hua Tuo stopped smiling and said to Huang Zhong seriously: "Through my external observation, I found that your son is seriously ill. It seems to be very difficult. My medical skills are not good, so I can only do my best.
Let’s talk about the ugly things first, Han Sheng, so you can be prepared in your mind.”
Huang Zhong clasped his fists at Hua Tuo and said: "Yuanhua's ability to say these words has already surpassed many doctors. Yuanhua just lets go and do whatever he wants.
I have gone through a lot of things where seeking medical treatment was ineffective, and my heart has long been calm, and I can bear anything."
When Hua Tuo heard this, he said no more.
He handed the empty bowl and chopsticks to the disciple who had also finished eating, and stood up.
Huang Zhong said: "We have cooked a lot of food. How can you, Yuanhua, be full if you only eat one bowl?"
I will continue to explain to you that the dog’s illness is not a matter of urgency. You should have a full meal first and then diagnose it later.”
Hua Tuo smiled: "That's enough. Eighty percent full is just right. Eating too much is not good for your health.
We are not soldiers, so we don’t have to fight in battle, and we don’t have to eat too much."
Hua Tuo said this, and the disciple named Wu Pu was already holding the bowl and chopsticks to wash it.
After Hua Tuo got up, he did not immediately go to Huang Xu for diagnosis and treatment.
Instead, walk slowly and digest your food.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I stopped, stood in the open space on the side, and then began to stretch my arms, twist my waist, and exercise.
His disciple Wu Pu, who had washed the dishes, and another disciple named Fan A also came over at this time and joined the procession.
Along with Hua Tuo, he performed this somewhat strange action.
Huang Zhongxunyu had also finished his meal at this time. He was a little surprised when he saw the three masters and disciples of Hua Tuo performing strange actions in an orderly manner. They didn't know what they were doing.
It's said to be martial arts training, but it's not.
The movements are too strange and seem soothing and not aggressive.
Huang Zhong felt that if someone refined this set of things to perfection, he would be beaten with this set of things.
Before this person even touches his body, he can chop him five times!
Of course, if he kills someone with one sword, he can cut out more swords.
Liu Cheng is not here. If he were here, his eyes would widen in surprise when he saw this scene in front of him.
Because, isn’t this the famous square dance?!
After dinner, I took a walk to eat, and then I took the stereo to a fixed open place. As soon as the music was played, the whole group started dancing.
In front of me, the three masters and apprentices of Hua Tuo, compared with the aunts who danced square dances in later generations, all they lack is a big speaker playing super loud music!
Hua Tuo and his disciples performed this rather weird movement three times, and it took them about a quarter of an hour before they stopped. A slight sweat appeared on their foreheads.
"What did Brother Yuanhua and his disciples do?"
Huang Zhong couldn't help but asked.
Hua Tuo laughed and said: "This is a physical exercise trick I created by imitating the postures of five animals such as apes, deer, bears, and tigers.
I call it Wu Qin Xi.
The human body wants to work, but it should not be excessive.
Appropriate activities can eliminate vulgarity, keep blood flowing, prevent diseases, and make the door hinges immortal."
When Huang Zhongxunyu heard this, he suddenly realized.
Let's just say, what Hua Tuo practiced just now didn't look like he was practicing martial arts.
If you practice martial arts in this way, when you fight with others, wouldn't it mean that you are waiting for others to chop you?
"Brother Yuanhua's statement makes sense, and the Five Animals Opera is interesting to watch. I wonder if it is a secret, and can it be passed down from generation to generation?"
Xun Yu looked at Hua Tuo and asked.
Hua Tuo smiled and said: "I created this set of movements to help people strengthen their bodies and prevent diseases, so it can naturally be taught.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be wasted?
I'm afraid that Wen Ruo will dislike his inelegant movements and won't want to learn."
Xun Yu smiled and said: "How could this happen..."
The few of them talked for a while. After Hua Tuo had eaten and sweated, and looked in high spirits, he headed towards where Huang Xu was.
Xun Ershi was muttering to Huang Xu in a low voice that what Hua Tuo and the others had just practiced was too weird and funny, and was far less powerful and domineering than the way he used his sword.
After being kicked by Huang Xu, he turned around and saw that Hua Tuo was walking this way, accompanied by his husband and Huang Zhong, whom he admired so much, and quickly shut up.
Don't dare to whisper anymore.
"Xu'er, this is Uncle Yuanhua..."
Huang Zhong introduced to Huang Xu.
Huang Xu greeted Hua Tuo and asked.
Although I coughed from time to time, my etiquette was not lacking at all.
Hua Tuo smiled and nodded, and then asked Huang Xu cordially about his illness.
Huang Xu answered them one by one, very skillfully.
After all, he has answered similar questions many times.
Hua Tuo asked for a while and asked Huang Xu to open his mouth. After looking at it, he looked into Huang Xu's eyes.
Then he touched Huang Xu's chest and abdomen with his hands, pressed experimentally with his hands, and asked Huang Xu how he felt.
After doing this for a while, he bent down, tilted his head, put his ear to Huang Xu's lungs, and listened there.
After listening for a while, I started to check Huang Xu's pulse.
During this process, Huang Xu was very cooperative and seemed very calm.
On the other hand, Huang Zhong, as a father, was particularly nervous. He stood there and unconsciously pushed the upper part of his shoe with his left thumb.
After taking the pulse, Hua Tuo showed a smile on his face.
This smile fell into the eyes of Huang Zhong and others, and they immediately felt relieved.
“The condition was more serious than I thought, but it was not incurable. The main reason was that the child’s body and bones were weak since he was a child, and it was later delayed.
I prescribe some medicine to decoct and take, and it will take effect soon after drinking it.
However, my dear nephew, you have been ill for a long time, and it cannot be cured in a day or two. You need to take medicine for a long time and gradually get better..."
"Uncle, can my disease really be cured?"
Huang Xu asked in disbelief.
Hua Tuo smiled: "It won't be any better if you meet others, but if you meet me, it won't be a problem.
I can’t absolutely guarantee that you will recover completely, but it can definitely improve your situation greatly.”
He has a gentle voice and a faint smile on his face. The words he speaks and the assurance he shows make people feel reassured and trusted.
Even though Huang Xu had long been hopeless and had no hope, he still had a strong desire to survive in his heart.
Huang Zhong also kept pushing his toes against his shoes.
Hua Tuo said, and asked his two disciples to open the large medicine box and grab medicine from it...
Huang Zhong was about to cook the medicine, but Xun Shi was one step ahead, so he went to cook the medicine bravely...
…
"Brother Yuanhua, my Xu'er's illness is really, really, really..."
Huang Zhong asked Hua Tuo in a place where there was no one else.
A being who could usually take a general's head out of an army with a knife, was so nervous at this time that he couldn't even speak clearly.
The smile on Hua Tuo's face disappeared. What he least wanted to see was such a scene.
He reached out and patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder.
"I do have a way to alleviate my nephew's illness, but this method cannot be effective for a long time. After half a year, it will have no effect if used again...
I just said that because I found that my nephew has already been determined to die. This is not possible. If it continues, it will be even worse for his condition.
People must be in a good mood and have a desire to survive, which is conducive to curing diseases."
Hua Tuo told the truth.
When Huang Zhong heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his tears.
Even before, he told Hua Tuo that he had experienced too many similar things and could accept this result calmly.
But when I heard these words from Hua Tuo, I still felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I didn't expect too much. Brother Yuanhua was able to relieve Quanzi's pain for half a year. This is an extremely unexpected gain."
Huang Zhong calmed down for a moment, bowed deeply to Hua Tuo, and said this.
Hua Tuo sighed, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world...
"Now, I can only put all my hopes on Uncle Liu Huang."
Huang Zhong took a deep breath and said this.
Hua Tuo said: "I also very much hope that Uncle Liu Huang can find a way to treat this disease. In this way, many people will benefit..."
…
On the next day, Huang Zhong and his party set off and continued towards Xichuan. Hua Tuo did not accompany them.
He was going to go to Xichuan while practicing medicine just like before...
…
Xichuan, a man with a copper bell hanging from his waist, jumped on the ship, and then cut the ship's cable made of brocade with a knife...
