"That's why they don't understand!"

The old boss Wang looked disdainful, "Western medicine can cure diseases, and it is true that the effect is quick, but it does not mean that our Chinese medicine is not good! Our Chinese medicine also has its own unique features. Let me tell you this, Western medicine can We can cure the problems that can be cured, and we can also cure the problems that cannot be cured by western medicine!"

"really?"

"Then look!"

The old man curled his lips and said triumphantly, "It's really not grandpa telling you, we don't know about other doctors! Your grandpa, you think, is just a country old man? Back then, your grandpa I am also a famous doctor of the generation who is famous in the capital! In the past, many universities invited your grandfather to give lectures, you know? Everywhere you go, there are crowds in front of you and crowds in front of you, it is very lively!"

"Red flags are on display, crowds of people!"

"Not so good!"

"That……"

Wang Xiaoliu raised his eyebrows and swayed his arms, "Then, old man, how did you become like this?"

"This this……"

Old Mr. Wang looked embarrassed, "What do you say! This man is old and loves to be clean! Our place is full of green mountains and green waters, isn't it nice?"

"laugh……"

Wang Xiaoliu'er laughed badly, "Master, why did I hear that you committed a crime outside and couldn't get along anymore, so you ran here to avoid the limelight?"

"Nonsense, nothing."

Old boss Wang coughed dryly, "Don't listen to those stinky old women gossiping! Their words are like farting, can you still believe them?"

"Well, it's not a big deal! That day, Aunt Sun told grandma that she saw you going to Widow Zhang's house in the middle of the night and didn't know what you were doing, but grandma asked me."

"What the hell?!"

The old boss Wang was startled and almost jumped up, "Then, what did you say?"

"I said nothing. I went fishing with my grandfather. I've been here all the time."

"Cough cough..."

"Master... I think about it, but I always feel that something is wrong! Tell me, why did you go to Widow Zhang's house in the middle of the night?"

"Ahem, that, Widow Zhang is not feeling well, please let me go over and have a look..."

"Then what do you see?"

"Children's family, you don't understand even if you tell me."

"Whether I understand or not is not a question. I'm afraid that if grandma asks me, I won't be able to answer."

"Cough cough..."

Old boss Wang looked embarrassed, "Hey, little six, grandpa is going to the city tomorrow and has something urgent to do. Look, is there anything you want? Grandpa will bring it back for you!"

Wang Xiaoliu'er couldn't help giggling when he saw the guilty look of old Mr. Wang, "Don't worry, grandpa, I won't tell grandma about your affairs!"

The old man put on a straight face, pretending to be serious, "Stinky boy, you will threaten your grandpa again!"

The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing, walking all the way back, Wang Xiaoliu seemed to suddenly remember something, lowered his head and asked, "By the way, Grandpa, there is something I want to ask you! That day, I Saw a box in the cellar with a big chicken paw in it, what happened?"

Old Wang was taken aback when he heard the words, "What big chicken feet?"

"It's just a chicken paw, as big as a hand, with hair on it."

Wang Xiaoliuer blinked her eyes, with a curious look on her face, "What is that for?"

Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment, "Medical materials."

"Medicine?"

"Medicine."

The old boss Wang sighed, "Didn't Grandpa tell you that there are countless poisonous substances in the world, and all poisonous and evil things have their own uses after being used well, but most of them are poisonous." Humans can't be identified."

Wang Xiaoliuer nodded, believing in what Grandpa said.

Under the influence of his grandfather, he has indeed read works not related to medicine, and he has some knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine. He knows that since ancient times, there have been many things about medicine that make people feel creepy went.

There are even detailed descriptions in ancient books about this kind of thing:

"After seven days of death, the flesh of a mortal is rotten like pulp, the heart is loose, steamed into a human aphid, shaped like a nine-dragon worm but small, red like blood, smooth and abnormal, both men and women, it is better to use the male coffin as medicine."

What does that mean?

That is to say, after a person dies, his body decays, and a small worm will be born. This kind of worm is blood red and smooth, especially the best when it comes out of the dead who has been put in the coffin.

The book even describes how to take this medicinal material.

Said yes, "Use a big drill to drill a big hole in front of the coffin and head, and use incense sticks to coat the outside of the hole, and the inner worms smell the bad smell, and all come out from the hole. Although the worms have armor, they can't fly, so they put them into the small bottle with their hands. , soaked in shochu, and dried on yin and yang tiles."

What do you mean?

That is to say, after a person is dead and put into the coffin, a large hole must be cut near the head of the dead person on the top of the coffin, and then something is used to smear the outside of the hole. The worms inside smell a special smell, and they have to come out of the hole. You can see that this insect has a carapace, but it can’t fly. The herb collectors should grab it with their hands, put it in a small bottle, soak it in shochu, and then put it on the front and back of the tiles. for intermediate drying. "

This roasted red beetle has a name in an ancient book.

Called "human aphid".

Human aphid is a good medicine for blindly treating bruises and malaria.

In ancient times, many people even went to rob tombs on dark and windy nights in order to obtain human aphids.

This sounds, is not very strange?Is it weird and disgusting?

The problem is, there are many more like this.

For example, there is a writing in the Tang Dynasty that says:

"After the death of a mortal, the soul dissipates, and if the vitality is not exhausted, the flesh rots and turns into maggots, which accumulate and gnaw at the bones and muscles. After a long time, the maggots will die with them."

"For the dead, there will be black maggots in the coffin. If there are any, they will be harvested at the mortuary. This medicine can cure leprosy and leprosy."

The meaning of this passage is that there is a certain kind of people, after death, they will rot, and black maggots will appear in the rotten flesh.

Note that white ones are useless, black ones are needed, and black ones can be used as medicine.

Generally, when such black maggots appear on the corpse, someone will deliberately collect them for use, because this kind of medicine can cure "marijuana madness".

As a result, in later generations, the famous leprosy monograph "Chishui Yuanzhu" recorded a proven prescription:

"Use dead maggots, wash them, dry them on a steel sheet, and use one or two qian for each, and adjust the thick soup with saponin thorns..."

He also said that this prescription is "extremely effective, and it is comparable to ordinary vegetation."

That is to say, according to the book, this kind of black maggots can not only cure diseases, but also, the medicinal effects are far more powerful than "ordinary plants".

If you think this prescription is a bit of nonsense, there are many supporting evidences in the ancient books, and even more detailed usage methods:

"Use one liter of human maggots, put it in a fine cloth bag, put it in the rush water, take it out cleanly, decoct it with ephedra soup, soak the maggots in the cloth bag, take it up for a long time, dry it in the sun, and then soak it in licorice decoction soup and dry it in the sun. , soaked in Sophora flavescens decoction and dried in the sun, then soaked in children's excrement and dried in the sun, and then decocted with onion and ginger, put the maggots into it, put it in the pot and boil it dry without taking it up, bake it as powder, add two musk deer for every two Three coins of money and toad cake are in one place and put into the porcelain. For each coin, decoct the stone moss flower in the soup, and the flower is the white moss on the rock in the mountain like money; take a bath with the cocklebur decoction, and then take the medicine. VII It will be effective every day. If you are strong, take it once a day, and if you are weak, take it once a day, and you will be cured."

This, perhaps, is the correct way to open this "human maggot".

Of course, this is just one of many examples.

Besides, is there anything else?

Of course there are, and many.

For example, when Caishikou kills people, the blood spurted from the neck is made into human blood steamed buns, which can cure tuberculosis.

For another example, in the legend, eating the enemy's liver and gallbladder raw can strengthen one's courage and not fear life and death. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was a man named Zhao Siwan who forcibly harmed more than 400 living beings because of the influence of this theory. Man, as for whether this prescription works or not, only the parties involved know better.

"Xiao Liuer, grandpa told you to be serious."

Seeing Wang Xiaoliu's thoughtful appearance, Old Boss Wang continued, "You are no longer a baby, and Grandpa has to tell you a few things."

"Well, listen."

Wang Xiaoliu blinked and nodded.

"Well, it's really nothing, I just want to tell you, don't think that you are good at skills, so you can be brave and dare to do anything! In a person's life, whether it is long or not, sometimes, it is true. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. Isn’t your sister Chen Mei just an example! It’s better than anything else to live well, and it’s better to do less risky things, especially ghosts and evil spirits, stay as far away as possible, stay as far away as possible.”

"Ah."

Wang Xiaoliu nodded his head.

"Let me ask you, I found out recently that you have nothing to do and keep running to the back of the mountain. What are you doing?"

When Wang Xiaoliuer heard this, he coughed dryly in embarrassment, babbled, hesitantly said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just went to play."

"Tell the truth to grandpa, grandpa asked your grandma to cook you a big chicken drumstick."

"Really?"

"Then look."

"Cough cough."

Wang Xiaoliu coughed dryly, "In the back mountain, I occasionally meet some people."

"Some people? When? Where?"

"Every month, the days when the moon is particularly large."

Wang Xiaoliu'er hesitated, scratching his face.

"I can't tell what's going on, but when I pass by the river, sometimes I can hear people talking and laughing in the reed pond. I ran over to look, and I could still see a group of women taking a bath. One by one, They don’t wear any clothes, but it’s so foggy inside that it’s hard to see clearly.”

As Wang Xiaoliuer said, he smiled awkwardly.

The old boss Wang looked like he had seen a ghost, "You just said that all you saw were women. Then, what do the women you mentioned look like? How old are you? Do you recognize them?"

"I don't know. Every time, it seems to be those few people. Occasionally there is one more, and occasionally there are a few less. They are all young ladies with long hair, fair skin, and good figure."

Wang Xiaoliu swallowed subconsciously, as if recalling some very sweet memories, "But, from the beginning to the end, it seems that I have never seen them in the nearby villages and towns."
