Chapter 234: No One Knows Mercury Better Than I Am
Haisha Town, in the house of Chen Huaixiu's family.
"Mercury poisoning?!" Hearing this, the thick-eyebrow couple exclaimed in unison: "How is it possible? ”
Li Shizhen snorted unhappily and said, "What, do you doubt the old man's diagnosis?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare," the thick-eyebrow woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "But sir, can you take a closer look at Young Master Teng, our island is full of boats, and there is no alchemy gilt, how can there be such a thing as mercury?" ”
"yes sir, there's no such thing on the island." The thick-eyed man affirmed.
Mrs. Shen bit her lip tightly, nodded and said, "Xiao Teng has never touched this thing since he was a child. ”
"Whether you have been in contact with it or not, you don't have to say it, the illness has the final say." Li Shizhen was unwavering, and snorted: "No one knows mercury poisoning better than the old man." ”
Zhao Hao nodded, and his heart said that this was true. Li Shizhen was a heavy mercury lover Emperor Jiajing and worked as a health care doctor......
Jiajing not only took heavy metals for a long time, but also often went to the alchemy in person. And the elixir that was refined was rewarded to the inner servants.
This can't help but save money, and it can also let people test for poison first. See if it's okay to eat it yourself.
At that time, the emperor's close ministers were all wet with rain and dew, and they didn't follow the drug.
For example, Emperor Jiajing's grandmother brother Lu Bing was the most trusted man of the first emperor, and naturally took the most medicine.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is physically strong, no matter how cold the weather is, he only wears a single coat, and the wall is more than a foot high, and he can easily climb it.
is such a strong man, and he can't help the heavy metal refining body that has accumulated over the years, and he suddenly died suddenly at the age of fifty, and the Lu family was also beaten away by the wind and rain.
The weak ones are even worse. Yuan Wei, a university scholar, became terminally ill within a few years, and died on the way home.
Seeing Yuan Wei's fate, he was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for bones, and when he went home, he asked Li Shizhen to help detoxify and recuperate, so he survived.
As for Yan Ge Lao and Xu Ge Lao, I don't know if they are talented or cheating. I knocked a lot of medicines, and it was no big deal.
However, in the last few years of his reign, Yan Ge Lao acted upside down, repeatedly offending the emperor; Xu Ge has been sick for the past two years, and I am afraid that it is indispensable to the credit of mercury.
It is said that when Xu Jiezhishi returned to his hometown and passed by Changshu, he deliberately asked Yan Ne for a detoxification prescription, but he didn't know if it was true or not.
But Li Shizhen was only because of the unsuccessful persuasion of Jiajing to 'cherish life and stay away from pills', so he resigned from the Tai Hospital angrily and returned to his hometown to write his "Compendium of Materia Medica".
So he knows so much about mercury poisoning that it's not an exaggeration to say that no one knows it better than he does.

Li Shizhen took out a pair of gold needles from the medicine box and put needles on the child's head.
He also asked Mrs. Shen to use moxa sticks to moxibustion Xiao Teng's Hegu acupoint to calm the nerves, regulate qi and relieve pain.
After some acupuncture, the child finally regained consciousness and stopped screaming. Crooked in Chen Huaixiu's arms, motionless.
"Divine doctor, what a divine doctor." The thick-eyebrow couple was completely convinced.
"Don't blow nonsense, just let him calm down, he hasn't been cured yet." Li Shizhen didn't buy it.
"Let's take a look at the environment where the children live." Zhao Gongzi proposed in a deep voice.
"Not bad." Li Shizhen nodded and said: "Looking at him like this, eighty percent of it is caused by long-term exposure to mercury. ”
"Oh, okay, Childe and Mr. please." Mrs. Shen woke up like a dream, and hurriedly invited the two of them into the east wing.
Before entering the house, Zhao Hao reminded: "Sir, let's take precautions first." ”
Li Shizhen hurriedly said with admiration: "I didn't expect that the son also understands it." ”
The two of them stood up again and asked Gao Wu to go to the ship to fetch the equipment.
Waiting for the spare time of equipment, Li Shizhen asked Chen Huaixiu: "He should have been ill for a while, right?" ”
"Yes, half a month ago, this child's temperament suddenly changed drastically and he yelled. There were even hallucinations, delusions. Chen Huaixiu sighed and recalled:
"At first, I thought I was under a nightmare, so I invited the goddess and the god to exorcise evil spirits, and I also went to Tanah Lot Temple to burn incense and worship, but it was still useless."
"That's when I remembered to see the doctor?" Li Shizhen snorted unhappily, and said, "Not to mention a month ago, he should have had an abnormality." ”
"Really." The thick-eyebrow woman exclaimed: "About a month ago, Young Master Teng began to complain of headaches, couldn't sleep at night, had no strength during the day, couldn't read, and didn't want to eat. Madame invited a doctor and prescribed him medicine to calm the nerves, but it had no effect. ”
As she spoke, she added in a whisper, "That's why I will ask God to see it later." ”
"What kind of quacks are you pleased?!" Li Shizhen can always find an angle to scold. "The whites of this child's eyes are red and the bags under his eyes are blue, can't they see it?"
"They say it's the result of long-term insomnia...... "The woman with thick eyebrows muttered.
"Such a big little kid, still insomnia?" Li Shizhen snorted and said, "Then the mercury line on his teeth is so obvious, can't they see it?!" ”
"Mercury?" Chen Huaixiu and the three of them were puzzled.
"At the junction of his teeth and gums, there was a thin blue-black line." Li Shizhen pointed to the child's mouth.
The boy grinned and wanted to bite, just in time for everyone to see the blue line at the junction of his gums.
"Hiss......" Everyone gasped, and they no longer dared to doubt Doctor Li's judgment.
"Usually he lives alone?" Li Shizhen asked.
"No, there is a nurse who lives with him." Chen Huaixiu replied.
"What about people?"
"It's not very comfortable these days, so I'm going home on leave to rest."
"Get her and I'll take a look." Li Shizhen said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Chen Huaixiu instructed the woman with thick eyebrows to call someone.
~~
After the tea effort, Gao Wu came back with a wooden box.
Chen Huaixiu and the others were stunned as Zhao Gongzi and Doctor Li put on double-layer masks, protective goggles, and rubber gloves. Wear a protective suit with a one-piece hood.
"What's going on?" The man with thick eyebrows looks straight hair.
"Don't talk nonsense, go out and keep watch." Chen Huaixiu commanded in a low voice: "No one is allowed to come in." ”
"Yes." The thick-eyebrow man responded in a deep voice.
"Mrs. Shen had better protect herself too." Zhao Hao pointed to the remaining set of protective equipment and said, "If there is mercury left in the house, it will also damage your health." ”
Chen Huaixiu smiled bitterly secretly, and said in her heart that I had been in the house for a long time today. But she couldn't bear to brush off the other party's kindness, so with the help of Zhao Hao, she was also fully armed.
Only then did the three of them enter the East Wing.
Seeing that it is divided into two rooms, the outer room is where the young man reads and lives, and the desk, bookshelf, and study room are all available.
The inner room is his bedroom.
Li Shizhen carefully checked it.
Zhao Hao pretended to help find it for a while, then lost his patience, flipped through the pages on the table with tweezers, and asked Mrs. Shen, "Did Mrs. teach this child to read?" ”
Mrs. Shen shook her head and said, "It's the helper." Although the concubine knows two words, how dare she compete with other scholars for students? ”
"Oh?" Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing and said, "In charge of such a big gang, do you still have time to teach students?" ”
"When the deceased husband was there, let Xiao Teng worship him as a teacher. This year, the concubine body has also been mentioned, so I still want to ask Xiao Teng for another gentleman, don't delay the business in the gang. Then Mrs. Shen replied: "But when he waits for Xiao Teng to grow up, he wants to be the helper, don't let those rotten Confucians become nerds, or he can teach it himself." ”
"That's a nice guy." Zhao Gongzi smiled and closed the book.
