chapter 10 sandalwood scent

These two cases, like other cases, do not record the names and origins of the patients, nor do they have specific dates, but some clues can still be gleaned from some details.

According to the records in the case, the age of this adult man is Buhuoshangxia, which is about forty years old. This is different from the previous cases. The previous cases have the specific age of the patient, but this one does not. Buhuoshangxia is a Very general concept.

For Chinese medicine, the patient's specific age has a great impact on diagnosis, treatment and medication. If the patient's specific age could be known, the master would never use this vague statement. It can be seen that the master could not determine the patient's specific age at that time.

In addition, the case record also records that the adult man spoke so urgently that blood overflowed from his mouth and nose. The meaning of this sentence is that as long as this person talks too much or speaks too fast, he will vomit blood. This shows that this adult man was able to speak at that time. Since he can speak, why can't Master determine his specific age?

Regarding this person's symptoms, Master recorded that he frequently coughed and vomited blood, was short of breath, had a swollen face, was numb in his hands and feet, and repeatedly pulled his long hair to stave off headaches.

The master is from the older generation, and the words used to record medical records and cases are relatively simple. However, Breyton Wu has followed the master for many years and has become familiar with his note-taking habit. He keenly found another clue from this passage. This man is When he had an unbearable headache, he would pull his hair, and it was long hair. This was something he had overlooked before. Looking back carefully, he found that the bones he saw in the coffin that day did indeed have long hair.

Regarding the diseases this person suffered from, Master used the elimination method, first ruling out common coughs, then ruling out asthma and wheezing, because the patient's condition did not worsen when he lay down, and then ruled out tuberculosis. Based on this People are not emaciated.

Finally, it was determined that this person had a lung disease, which was also called lung cancer at this time.

The medicinal materials used were raw astragalus, raw atractylodes, dried almonds, aster, winter flowers, earthworms, ephedra and raw licorice. After taking the medicine, I observed a slight improvement.

I took it again the next day, and my wheezing subsided slightly, but my coughing up blood remained the same. "

The master used a total of three doses of medicine. This shows that this person received treatment for three days after meeting the master. It is recorded in the medical records that the symptoms were relieved during the chen and hai hours. During Shen Shi Yin time, the symptoms worsen. This also shows that the master stayed with this person all the time during the treatment, otherwise it would not be possible to observe him so carefully.

The master did not record the final results of the treatment, but judging from the constant increase and decrease in the herbs and dosage of these three medicines, the master did not find an effective treatment in the end.

Then there are records about the eight-month-old baby. If nothing else, the eight-month-old baby should be him. As for the baby's age, Master's record is about eight months old, which means that Master based it on his age. Judging his age based on the newly grown teeth was not learned from the adult man's mouth.

Since this adult man can speak and has been with Master for three days, why did the two parties not communicate? Is this grown man a lunatic?

Thinking about it carefully, this possibility is not high, because if it is a lunatic, the master will not fail to mark it on the case.

His symptoms were very similar to that of the adult man, but the symptoms were not as severe. The master did not specify what disease he had, but only the name and dosage of the herbs used to calm the lungs and relieve coughs.

Through this, it can be seen that the master was very confused at that time, because he had the same symptoms as the adult man, and the master diagnosed the adult man as lung cancer, but cancer is not contagious, which means that the master probably also knew later Your own diagnosis of an adult man may not be correct.

After carefully reading the two case records, Breyton Wu became more and more confused. The clues extracted from the cases were very fragmentary. First, he appeared with the man in the coffin.

Second, I was only eight months old at the time.

The third useful clue is that the man lived for three more days after meeting the master. He could speak, but had no communication with the master.

Fourth, this man and he both had the same disease at the time.

Also, this man was wearing clothes when he met the Master, because there is a saying in his case report that there were two blood stains on the skirt of his clothes, which was thought to be the result of two vomitings of blood. Since there is a skirt, there are naturally clothes.

Since this man was wearing clothes at the time, why was he buried naked after his death? Could it be that Master was worried about an infectious disease and put his clothes on

Was the service burned?

If you think about it carefully, it's not right, because there is no difference between burning and burying, and burying people naked is disrespectful to the deceased.

The dormitory was very quiet. Breyton Wu tried hard to organize many clues in his mind. However, the clues were not only fragmented, but also very strange and full of doubts. The master did not mention anything unusual about this man's appearance in the case report. This was not at all consistent with common sense, because If Master knew that this person had a beak, it would be impossible to diagnose and treat him as an ordinary person.

And although the master is a Taoist priest, he is not very courageous. If this person had a beak, he would definitely be frightened.

It's a pity that Master doesn't have the habit of keeping a diary. What he has now are just cases instead of diaries. The clues are incomplete and fragmented, making it difficult to connect them together.

It didn't feel good to be kept in the dark. The more he couldn't figure out the reason, the more confused Breyton Wu became. The more confused he became, the more eager he was to find the truth. However, there were not enough clues. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with a reasonable answer.

Thinking is very tiring, and focused thinking is even more tiring. Soon Breyton Wu felt exhausted and wanted to sleep.

I always have to take off my clothes when I sleep. I sat up in a daze and unbuttoned my clothes. At this moment, an idea flashed. Clothes, clothes. Although the master's medical record did not specify what clothes he was wearing at that time, there was a saying about "swaddling clothes". The strange fragrance must be the soothing sandalwood.

He didn't remember what his swaddling clothes looked like, and he had never heard his master talk about it, but one thing he had an impression of was that there were purple patches on the mosquito net cloth that he and his senior brother used. The patches were scented and could repel mosquitoes.

The senior brother's mosquito net was taken to the mine a few years ago and must have been thrown away long ago. He has to go to school and cannot wear a patched mosquito net, so the mosquito net he used before is still at home.

The patch on the mosquito net is part of his swaddling days, which is also an important clue.

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed, but his joy soon turned into annoyance, because he suddenly remembered that his home had been demolished. It had been seven or eight days, and the ruins might have been pulled away.

Thinking of this, I couldn't even sleep until dawn, so I put on my shoes and ran downstairs.

It was already late at night, so he climbed over the wall from the west without leaving the door, used Qing Kung Fu, and ran southward.

After running for a few miles, I suddenly remembered something. Oh no, there are surveillance cameras everywhere now. If you run so fast, it will be difficult to explain if you are caught by surveillance cameras.

He now had money, but he was reluctant to use it. He still climbed into the car at the intersection. He was worried all the way. He didn't feel relieved until he reached the bottom of the mountain and saw the pile of ruins.

To practice kung fu, you need to practice Qi. People who practice Qi can see clearly at night without using lights. They can just rummage through the ruins. Fortunately, the mosquito net is still there, as are the two patches. Tear it off and put it to your nose to smell it. , it has a sandalwood scent, but the scent is not so strong as it has aged.

On the return trip, I took a bus and brought three bags of apricots. After getting on the bus, I gave one bag to the driver. I fainted in the car that day and was taken to the hospital.

When he arrived at the county seat, he called Codie Lin again and wanted to give him apricots to eat. However, Codie Lin was not in the county and went on a business trip to the capital with his boss.

I put down the phone and went to the factory where Shaney Huang worked to find Shaney Huang and gave her a bag of apricots.

Codie Lin was not here, so he bought an extra pack. After thinking about it, he went to the hospital and asked director Wang. Last time, they confiscated the medical expenses and sent a car to take him back. I have to thank him.

director Wang did not expect that Breyton Wu would take the initiative to look for him. He was very surprised to see him. He politely sent away the guests he was receiving and welcomed him in warmly.

Sometimes, what people value is just an attitude. director Wang has never seen any gifts, but he was still very happy when Breyton Wu sent apricots. This shows that this young man is a polite person and a person who knows how to repay kindness. .

Before Breyton Wu could speak, director Wang took the initiative to talk about blood. There was no progress in testing the blood yet. In order to avoid affecting Breyton Wu's life, director Wang did not conduct a more detailed test at home. Instead, he entrusted a classmate abroad to do it. I managed to bring a few blood samples abroad for testing, but there has been no response yet.

However, there has been some progress regarding the tattoos on Breyton Wu’s body. The dragon head tattoo on Breyton Wu’s body is very different from the common dragon shapes in modern times. There is nothing similar to it. However, a scholar friend of director Wang has seen a similar dragon shape. pattern.

director Wang took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to Breyton Wu, "Take a look at it yourself and scroll back. There are several photos."

Breyton Wu took it

He took a closer look at each photo on his cell phone. The photo showed a bronze vessel that he couldn't name, with a dragon cast on it. It was a complete dragon. Looking closely at the dragon's head, it turned out that it was somewhat similar to his tattoo, but it was not exactly the same.

"This is a bronze sacrificial bottle from the Shang Dynasty," said director Wang.

Breyton Wu returned the phone to director Wang, "It's somewhat similar, but the dragon's whiskers and horns are not the same, and the eyes are also not very similar. The eyes of the dragon above are bigger than mine."

"You are right,"director Wang nodded, "I have also compared it carefully, and there are indeed differences, but overall they are still very similar. In order not to affect your normal life, I will not limit the scope of the insiders. It has been further expanded, so it is currently impossible to verify it on a large scale, and it is not possible to determine which of the two patterns is older in a short period of time."

"Thank you, director Wang."Breyton Wu said.

director Wang waved his hand, "Have you finished the exam? How was your exam?"

"It's okay."Breyton Wu said.

director Wang knew some of Breyton Wu's situation and took the initiative to say, "If you have no other arrangements, why not come to the hospital to do part-time work for a few days and get in touch with society in advance."

"Thank you , director Wang."Breyton Wu stood up and thanked him.

director Wang raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "What kind of work do you like to do?"

"As long as you don't go to the morgue to keep vigil, anything else will do."Breyton Wu said.

"Hahaha,"director Wang said with a smile, "The hospital's morgue is all locked, so there is no need to keep vigil at all. So, I'll arrange for you to direct the parking."

All Breyton Wu could do was say thank you again.

director Wang picked up the phone on the table and dialed the internal number, "Do you have a place to stay?"

"I still live in the school."Breyton Wu said.

"The school is too far from here. Move here and I will arrange a place for you." At this point, the phone was connected. director Wang briefly spoke to the other party, hung up the phone and called Breyton Wu. He said, "Go to the eighth floor to find Section Chief Gao, and he will make arrangements for you."

Breyton Wu thanked him and stood up, hesitated for a moment, and walked out.

"Is there anything else?"director Wang asked.

Breyton Wu stopped and turned around, "director Wang, I have something here. Can you find someone to test it for me?"

"What?"director Wang asked.

Breyton Wu walked back to the table and took out a patch, "This."

director Wang took the patch and looked at it carefully, "The fabric hospital couldn't test it. What is this and where did it come from?"

"This is what was on the quilt that I used to wrap myself in when I was little,"Breyton Wu said.

When director Wang heard this, he stood up quickly and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place for testing."

"It's okay, you're busy with your work, I'm not in a hurry."Breyton Wu was a little embarrassed.

"Don't be anxious, I'm anxious. I haven't slept well these past few days."director Wang opened the door and went out.

Passing by the eighth floor, director Wang personally went to explain a few words to Section Chief Gao, then took Breyton Wu downstairs, got into the car, and said to the driver, "Go to the Institute of Botany."

After the car started moving, Breyton Wu said again, "director Wang, I have another question for you."

"Say."director Wang was still looking at the patch.

"There is a disease that causes coughing and vomiting blood, shortness of breath, swollen face, and paralysis of the hands and feet. What disease is this?"Breyton Wu asked.

"According to your description, this should be an acute disease of the respiratory system."director Wang replied casually.

"When it hurts, I can't help but pull my hair."Breyton Wu added.

director Wang frowned slightly, thinking hard and did not answer.

Seeing that his supplement could not provide director Wang with further basis for judgment, Breyton Wu added, "The symptoms of this disease can be relieved at 90 o'clock in the morning and 90 o'clock in the evening. It will get worse at o’clock.”

"Insufficient oxygen intake,"director Wang immediately made an accurate judgment. "This disease is directly related to changes in air pressure within a day, and is also related to altitude. People here will appear directly on Mount Everest. This is the situation you mentioned."

"Besides the altitude, is there any other possibility?"Breyton Wu asked.

director Wang thought for a while and said, "Yes, if a person suddenly appears from a place with good air quality to a place with extremely poor air quality, he will also have similar symptoms."
