Chapter 66 True Biography
The next day at 4 o'clock in the morning, when it was pitch dark, Old Man Chang and others got up.

Wang Kui had no children during her lifetime, and after liberation, temples were not allowed to keep the body at home, so the body was kept at home for one day before the funeral.

The manager of the "Hexing Coffin House" directed the people to seal the coffin, then asked Renchun to smash the clay pot and shouted, "Lift the coffin!"

The four porters who had been prepared stood up and lifted the pole silently.

Renchun walked in front with a white sail, followed by Master Chang Er and Master Rong Si, and the porters slowly followed behind him and out of the yard.

Because the journey was too far, Yan Baozhen was pregnant, and Yichun was too young, they were not allowed to go.

Wang Deming did not go either, after all, he was just a guest
At daybreak, the funeral shop began to dismantle the mourning hall and shed, and soon the courtyard of No. 81 Gulou East Street returned to peace, except that the moon gate was blocked with blue bricks.
When Wang Deming pushed the cart out, Qin Huairu had already followed her godmother Wang Shuqin and her sister Yan Baozhen to tidy up the north room where Wang Kui had lived before her death. Old Man Chang would move in.

In Xiaoshun Hutong, at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Continuing Education School, after Wang Deming returned from his vacation, he learned that Wang Kui had not been saved. Doctor Ha Yumin sighed and said, "Deming, you have a talent for studying medicine, don't waste it."

"Both Chinese and Western medicine have their own unique features. It is our duty as doctors to be inclusive and treat diseases and save lives."

"Yes!"

"Okay, ask Ding Huan for the teaching materials for yesterday's lecture. He also took notes."

The first lesson is still bacteriology: Mycobacterium tuberculosis
In the fourth discussion class, Wang Deming once again stood on the podium and drew inspiration from others, saying: "What Western medicine calls tuberculosis is what we call pulmonary tuberculosis in traditional Chinese medicine."

"I wonder if any of you here have read Mr. Lu Xun's article "Medicine"?"

"Human blood steamed buns can cure tuberculosis! Mr. Lu Xun's writing is very good, and he vividly shows the ignorance of us Chinese in the old society."

"In class today, the teacher just talked about streptomycin, which can effectively treat tuberculosis. But as far as I know, the cure rate is not 100%, and the medication time is as long as 2-8 months, or even longer; it may not be completely cured."

"There are many prescriptions for treating tuberculosis in our Chinese medicine books, but are they really useful?"

This problem has been bothering Wang Deming. When he was a resident doctor, he encountered several patients with tuberculosis: one side of the lung was damaged, the other side had a large area of ​​fibrous cavities, coughed up blood, and was extremely thin.
No matter what kind of medicines are made in China or imported, they are generally useless, and finally the hospital can only discharge the patient.
Go home and wait to die or go see a Chinese doctor, try everything possible.

This is the general status of Chinese medicine in later generations. When Western medicine fails to cure a disease, people immediately turn to Chinese medicine.
"Quacks are killing people!" Guan Youbo stood up, strode to the podium, and said with great sorrow: "Our Chinese Medicine Association must help the government to keep a close watch."

"We can't let some quack doctors ruin the reputation of Chinese medicine!"

Guan Youbo pointed angrily at the lung anatomy diagram Wang Deming had drawn on the blackboard and shouted, "Is tuberculosis an incurable disease?"

"no!"

"It has been recorded in the Neijing: 'Chuancheng'. Symptoms: withered large bones, sunken large flesh, fullness of air in the chest, difficulty breathing, internal pain extending to the shoulders and neck, fever, and flesh falling off and popliteal fossa."

"The Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases also says: 'Deficiency and fatigue', symptoms include 'hot hands and feet, night sweats, insomnia due to deficiency and restlessness' etc."

"The Tang Dynasty's "Prescriptions for Emergencies Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces", the Song Dynasty's "Prescriptions for General Benefits", the Ming Dynasty's "Introduction to Medicine. Tuberculosis" and "Miscellaneous Works of Ming Doctors", and the Qing Dynasty's "Collection of Symptoms and Treatments" all mentioned this disease, and they have provided a lot of very good treatment experiences!"

"I have cured more than one case of tuberculosis."

"The key is the first step: syndrome differentiation. Lung yin deficiency, yin and yang deficiency."

"Deficiency of lung yin, use moxibustion to support yang, and add or subtract Yuehua pills"

"The Difficult Classic says: Blood meets at Geshu. The commentary says: Blood diseases are treated here. Bone steaming, fatigue and heat, blood deficiency and excessive fire, so this point is used to replenish it. The gallbladder is the viscera of the liver, and the liver can store blood, so this point is also used."

Guan Youbo stood on the podium and spoke incessantly.

Afterwards, Liu Duzhou also took the stage to talk about the tuberculosis cases he had cured, how to make a diagnosis and how to treat them.
The more Wang Deming listened, the brighter his eyes became. So that's it.
He no longer hid his knowledge and openly learned from others, writing furiously with a notebook in hand.

This opportunity is rare. As the saying goes, most of those who are studying Western medicine in advanced courses are masters of Chinese medicine.

To put it bluntly, if the person is still alive in the future and wants to register with him, you can't do it without finding a scalper.
At noon, the two brothers came out to Xiaoshun Hutong, and Wu Dinghuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "Deming, let's not talk about anything else," he patted the notebook on his chest vigorously, "If we were in other places, we would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of our lives just by relying on the few prescriptions I talked about today!"

"Haha, Brother, what's going on?"

"Are you planning to switch to another sect?"

"Haha, it's always good to have many skills!"

In the afternoon, when we arrived at Master Xia Xiwu's house, Master Xia Xiwu looked at the joy on Wu Dinghuan's face and asked, expressing the same feeling as Wang Deming: "This opportunity is rare!"

"Dinghuan, Deming, opportunities are rare in one's life."

"If not, how could there be so many famous doctors who carefully explain the medical records?"

"As the saying goes, teaching the apprentice will make the master starve to death." Xia Xiwu pointed to the yard, laughed, and added: "Among the students in your advanced training class, which one of them doesn't have at least one big house?"

"Which one of them is not a beautiful wife or concubine?"

"Study well!"

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Deming was stunned. Wasn't his master's method of motivating his disciple too simple and crude?

But why does it make me feel so happy when I hear it?

He turned his head and glanced at his senior brother Wu Dinghuan, who had a look of excitement on his face. He laughed secretly in his heart: Senior brother, you are my apprentice and son-in-law, what are you thinking about?

In the afternoon, Master Xia Xiwu's bone-setting clinic was still full of patients, but none of them had trauma or fractures. So before treating each patient, Master would either test Wu Dinghuan or give Wang Deming some pointers.

After taking down the clinic sign at the hospital gate, Wang Deming went back home because he was worried about his sister.

"Xiao Ru, you should sleep in the north room with mom these days."

"After all, the stepmother in the courtyard just passed away."

Although Qin Huairu was unwilling, she looked at Wang Deming's serious face, her big watery eyes showed a hint of grievance, and she timidly replied: "Okay, Deming."

"We have a long way to go, and many days to come"

"Help mom cook dinner first. I'll move some things. If I come back late, you guys can eat first."

Qin Huairu was about to say something but stopped herself. There were so many leftovers at home. Did they still need to be cooked?
But he still left obediently.

After hardening his heart and coaxing Qin Huairu away, Wang Deming immediately took action.

Old Man Chang suddenly sold Yard No. 82. Although there were reasons for it, it also made him feel a sense of urgency because this was not his house after all!

It would be better to move all the gold, silver and jewelry that he had hidden away to his own house in Nanluoguxiang.

As the saying goes: Three times is better than the other
Moreover, a batch of furniture and bottles and jars had just been moved in this morning, and they just needed to continue moving. There were too many things, and they would not be noticeable if they were mixed together.

"what"

"Comrade Deming."

"Didn't you say it's gone?"
