Chapter 36: Medicinal Ingredients: Pig Urine Bubble
in the living room.
He Shengwu lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, holding the corners of his clothes with both hands, and stood next to Zhou Xiaoyan.
Wang Mengde knew the reason. When he entered the room just now, he saw bedding with map patterns printed on it hanging on the rope tied to the door. There was also a smell of urine on it. He must have wet the bed again last night.
After asking him some questions gently and taking his pulse, Wang Mengde had a rough idea in his mind.
Just as he guessed, He Shengwu suffered from enuresis, also known as nocturnal enuresis in traditional Chinese medicine.
The causes of enuresis are generally due to genetics, psychological factors, and physiological development. Through questioning, it was found that no one else in the He family suffers from this disease, so genetic factors are ruled out first.
After a moment of silence, Wang Mengde was about to speak when He Shengnan suddenly said, "Mom, isn't there still one dose of Chinese medicine left from the last time the doctor prescribed? Where did you put it?"
"Are you talking about the medicine prescribed by the doctor we saw in Xizhimen before the New Year? Shengwu took it for two months, but there was no effect at all. I didn't even prepare the last dose for him, and I left it on the table."
Zhou Xiaoyan thought about it and then said.
As she said that, she got up and went to look for it. Soon, she took out a yellow paper package from the long table and placed it in front of Wang Mengde.
Wang Mengde carefully opened the yellow paper package, revealing a dozen Chinese medicinal herbs inside.
He took a quick look and found some medicinal herbs commonly used to treat enuresis, such as angelica, white peony root, wolfberry, tongcao, and morinda officinalis.
After wrapping the yellow paper, he shook his head in his heart. It seemed that this doctor's level was just average. He might know some dialectical theories, but he only had a superficial understanding of them and could only prescribe medicine according to other people's prescriptions.
"Auntie, Shengwu's condition still has a chance to get better." Wang Mengde first said a word of comfort, and then without waiting for her to speak, he continued: "I'll prescribe a prescription for you. Try it for a month and see the effect."
After a pause, he glanced at Zhou Xiaoyan, whose face was half excited and half suspicious, and said slowly: "It just so happens that I have this kind of medicinal material in my medicine box. Oh, and I also need a medicine guide.
Find a complete pig bladder, wash it clean, then put this Chinese medicine in it, boil the water and drink it. Drink three pig bladders within a month. "
Then he briefly explained the specific dosage and usage.
This single prescription was recently figured out by him. In fact, there is an even simpler single prescription that does not even require Chinese medicinal materials. It only requires the seeds of a plant, which can be placed in a pig's bladder and boiled in water to drink, and the effect is similar.
After hearing his words, Zhou Xiaoyan had some doubts in her heart. Could such a simple medicine, plus a medicine guide, cure her son's illness?
You know, because of their son's illness, their family has gone to the hospital many times in the past few years, consulted many doctors, and taken a lot of medicine, but there has not been much effect.
Yang Xue, who was standing by, didn't quite believe it either. She asked bluntly, "Is it that simple? No need to add other herbs?"
"Of course, it's that simple. When treating a disease, it's about prescribing the right medicine for the right symptoms, not the amount of herbs." Wang Mengde explained with a smile.
"I used soil to treat illnesses before, and the results were very good. The patients didn't have to spend a penny and their illnesses were cured."
"Ah, soil can also cure diseases?" Yang Xue widened her eyes, looking unbelievable.
Zhou Xiaoyan and He Shengnan were also shocked, while He Shengwu snuggled up to his mother and looked at Wang Mengde with curiosity.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Xiaoyan felt that what he said was right, but she couldn't make a decision for the time being. The head of the family had to go out for something today, so she needed to wait for Lao He to come back to discuss it together.
After chatting for a few more words at the He family, Wang Mengde was very tactful and took the initiative to say goodbye.
As the weather gets hotter day by day, it is already mid-May.
On Sunday morning, Wang Mengde and He Shengnan walked side by side on the path along the Shichahai River and chatted. "Thank you, my brother has only wet the bed once in the past 20 days since he took two pig bladders according to your prescription."
He Shengnan said with gratitude.
More than 20 days ago, when He Shengnan's father returned home, Zhou Xiaoyan told him what had just happened, and He Guangyao decided on the spot that they could give it a try.
So he hurried out before he even sat down at home, found a pork shop, and negotiated with the shop owner for a long time before he bought a pair of pig bladders to take back.
That night I boiled some water for He Shengwu to drink.
The effect was not very obvious the first time he drank it, but after he drank the second batch of water boiled with pig urinary bubbles, it started to work. For more than ten days in a row, her brother did not wet the bed once.
In this situation, the whole family was overjoyed, especially Zhou Xiaoyan, who praised Wang Mengde to the heavens.
He said that he was not only handsome, but also had excellent skills and a good family background. Then he mentioned it to He Shengnan several times, asking her not to miss the opportunity.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do. By the way, just take it three times a month. If you don't wet the bed later, you can stop." Wang Mengde glanced at the beauty next to him and said with a smile.
In recent days, he would ask He Shengnan out every weekend under the pretext of asking about He Shengwu's situation.
Although the two of them did not break the window paper, they both knew each other's feelings and were just waiting for the day when everything would come to fruition.
In mid-May at Shichahai, reeds sway in the wind, water birds frolic in the river, calamus and water lilies dot the landscape, wild flowers bloom everywhere on the shore, and bursts of fragrance waft through the breeze.
The two of them walked forward aimlessly. Many pedestrians were strolling along the shore, and occasionally they would see someone fishing by the river.
Of course, there were also a few pairs of young men and women like them who showed a tacit understanding when they walked towards each other.
"By the way, I came out on a mission today." After walking for a while, He Shengnan suddenly spoke.
"Oh, what mission?" Wang Mengde asked curiously.
"My parents want to invite you to their home for lunch today. My mom said that if you don't go, I don't have to go back at noon." As she said this, she wrinkled her nose mischievously.
"In order to let you go home, I must go." Wang Mengde said with a smile.
After saying that, he looked up at the sun and estimated that it was about ten o'clock. There was still time, so he and He Shengnan walked to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
The last time he went to the He family, he was a doctor. This time, it was different. According to etiquette, he should buy some gifts.
After buying a few bags of snacks and a pound of candy, and taking two bottles of white wine, the two of them slowly walked towards Caochang Hutong.
When they arrived at the He family's door, they finally met He Shengnan's father He Guangyao. As soon as they met, they held his hand and kept thanking him. Zhou Xiaoyan was cooking outside.
When I entered the house, He Shengwu was playing with He Yanan. He looked much more sunny than last time.
It was not until three or four in the afternoon that Wang Mengde left Caochang Hutong with the warm farewell of the He family.
His face was slightly red and his mouth reeked of alcohol. He identified the direction and began walking towards Yuer Hutong.
