The master was heartbroken and said to his apprentice, "Your wings are hard, so build another door." The apprentice didn't care: "All right!" The master said uneasily, "However, there is a medicine that you can't just sell to others." "What medicine?" "Bare grass." "What's the matter?" "The roots and stems of this grass have different uses; Sweat with stems, stop sweating with roots, and die if you make a mistake! Remember? " "Remember." "You recite it again." The apprentice recited it with his mouth open, but when he recited it, he was careless and completely useless. From then on, mentoring broke up and sold medicines separately. Without the master, the apprentice is more courageous. Although he doesn't know much about medicine, he dares to cure any disease. A few days later, let him kill one with bare grass. The family of the deceased refused to let go, so they arrested him and went to see the county magistrate. The magistrate asked, "Who did you learn from?" The apprentice must name the master. The magistrate ordered the master to be called and said, "How did you teach? Let him rule people to death! " Confucius said, "The villain is innocent." "How can you say that you are innocent?" "I obviously taught him several formulas about leafless grass." Hearing this, the magistrate asked his apprentice, "Do you remember? Recite it and I'll listen. " The disciple chanted, "Sweat follows the stem, and stop sweating follows the root. Make a mistake and die. " The magistrate asked again, "Did the patient sweat?" The apprentice replied, "I am sweating all over." "What medicine did you use?" "The stem of leafless grass." The magistrate was furious: "It's just Hu Zhi! The patient sweated and used antiperspirant. Can he not die? " Later, he ordered someone to beat his apprentice forty times and was sentenced to three years in prison. Master, it's okay. Let him go to class. After three years in prison, the apprentice became honest. He found the master, admitted his mistake and expressed remorse. The master saw that he had changed, so he stayed to teach him medical skills. From then on, disciples will be very careful when they use "leafless grass" again. Because this kind of grass brought him great trouble, it was named "trouble grass", and later it was renamed "ephedra" because its roots were yellow. [┃ ┃ Short Story] On the Double Ninth Festival on September 9, a group of rich children competed to eat crabs in a hotel. The big crab is oily and yellow, and the more you eat it, the more fragrant it becomes. The eaten crab shells piled up on the table into a small tower. Hua tuo also came here to drink with his disciples. Seeing the teenagers scrambling to eat crabs like crazy, he kindly advised, "The crabs are cold, so don't eat more. Young man, it's no good for you to eat crabs in the competition. " The teenager is very unhappy: "we eat what we pay for, who listens to your discipline!" " "Hua tuo said," eat too much, must have a stomachache. At that time, your life will be in danger! " "Come on, don't scare people here! We just ate to death, it's none of your business! "These drunken teenagers don't listen to advice at all and continue to eat and drink. Some people even shouted, "Crabs are delicious. Who has ever heard of eating dead people? Let's eat ours and die at the hands of that old man! " Seeing that they were making a scene, Hua Tuo said to the innkeeper, "We can't sell it any more, it will kill people. "The hotel owner intends to make more money from these teenagers. How could he listen to Hua Tuo? He said with a straight face, "Even if something happens, it's none of your business. Your husband mind his own business and don't mess with my business! " Hua tuo sighed and had to sit down and eat his own wine. Until midnight, teenagers suddenly shouted that they had stomachache, some were sweating with pain, and some fell and rolled under the table. The hotel owner was surprised and quickly asked, "What's the matter with you?" "It hurts badly, please call a doctor for us!" "Where can I find a doctor in the middle of the night?" "Please be kind to the boss. If the doctor doesn't come again, our lives will be in jeopardy! " At this moment, Hua Tuo came over and said, "I am a doctor." "ah!" The teenagers were shocked: Isn't this the old man who won't let them eat more crabs? Without any respect, they covered their stomachs one by one and begged, "Sir, please treat them!"! """Didn't you just say to leave me alone?" Hua tuo said. "Adults don't remember. Please be kind and help us. How much is easier said than done. " "I don't want money." "Then you want something else." "I want you to promise one thing!" "Don't say one, one thousand, ten thousand. Why didn't you tell me quickly? " "In the future, you have to listen to the old man's advice and stop fooling around!" "Of course, of course. Please help! " Hua tuo told them to wait, took his disciples to the wilderness, collected some stems and leaves of Arnebia euchroma, and boiled soup for the teenagers. After a while, their stomachs stopped hurting. Hua Tuo asked, "How do you feel after drinking this medicine?" "Much more comfortable." Hua tuo thought: this herb has no name yet, and patients will really feel comfortable after eating it. Call it "Zishu" in the future! The teenagers were so grateful that they bid farewell to Hua Tuo and went home. Hua Tuo said to the hotel owner, "That was close. You must never patronize to make money in the future, regardless of people's lives! " "The hotel owner nodding. When Hua Tuo left the hotel, his apprentice asked, "What book is this Lithospermum leaf used to detoxify crab poison? "Hua tuo told his disciples that there was nothing in the book, and he learned it from animals. It turned out that one summer, Hua Tuo was collecting herbs by a river in the south of the Yangtze River. He saw an otter catch a big fish. The otter swallowed for a long time, bulging his stomach. It is in the water for a while and on the shore for a while; Lying still for a while, tossing and turning for a while. It seems that this otter is very uncomfortable. But later, it climbed to the shore next to a piece of Arnebia euchroma, ate some grass leaves and lay down for a while, but it was all right. Hua Tuo thinks that fish is cool and Arnebia euchroma is warm, and Arnebia euchroma can definitely detoxify fish. Since then, he has kept it in mind. Later, Hua tuo also made the stems and leaves of Arnebia euchroma into powder. He also found that this herb has the functions of dispersing exterior, benefiting spleen, benefiting lung, regulating qi, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and can cure many diseases. Originally, because this herb is purple and comfortable to eat in the stomach, Hua Tuo named it "Zishu", but somehow, people later called it "Perilla frutescens"-probably because of its close sound, which is easy to be confused.

I want to recognize a son and pass on my skills to him. But now I'm crazy and I can't recognize any herbs. I can't repay you for your support! " The woodcutter said, "They are all suffering people. What do you want in return? Anyway, I won't be hungry if I have food to eat. Don't go out begging! " "Well, then I'll be the master here and treat you as my son!" "all right."

The old woman will go east for a while, west for a while, go uphill for a while, and go down the ditch for a while, pointing and pointing, so tired that the woodcutter will sweat like rain; But the woodcutter didn't complain at all, and kept telling funny words to make the old woman happy. When they came to a hillside overgrown with weeds, the old woman stopped the woodcutter. She got off the woodcutter's back, sat on a stone, pointed to a pile of weeds with linear leaves and purple stripes and white flowers and said, "Go and dig it up!" " The woodcutter went over to dig the soil and dug up a yellow-brown root. He asked, "Mom, what is this?" The old woman said, "This is a kind of herbal medicine. Its root can treat lung heat, cough, fatigue, fever and other diseases. It is of great use." Son, do you know why I just told you today? "The woodcutter thought for a moment and said," Mom must find an honest and kind person to pass the medicine to him, lest malicious people use it to make a fortune and harm the people! "The old woman smiled and said," I've been looking for it for years, but I haven't met anyone to talk to. "Son, you really know my mind. This medicine is called Anemarrhena asphodeloides! " Then, the old woman taught the woodcutter many other herbs, and the woodcutter switched to collecting herbs. He always remembers the old woman's words and treats the poor like an old woman.
