Treading on Frost, Solid Ice Follows

Secondly, if you forcefully use some heat-clearing and fire-reducing medicines, their bitter and cold nature can be too strong, extinguishing the fire all at once, and that would be disastrous.

The young man is still alive and kicking because of this fiery temper; if that temper were to go out, he could be taken down instantly.

Therefore, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Based on the oil bottle theory mentioned earlier, we can explain it in more detail as follows.

A half-full bottle rattles when it's not full.

If you fill the tank completely with gas, it will block the flames, preventing the gas from sloshing around and causing the fire to slowly go out.

That's why Su Ziyang used this method.

A week later, Su Ziyang received a call from the young man.

"Doctor Su, I'm much better now. I boiled the medicine at home for three days, but after I went on the business trip, I had no choice but to just dissolve it in hot water and drink it. I feel much better now; my head feels clear. I can even do the accounting faster. When I get back this time, I'll treat you to dinner!"

The young man was clearly very happy and chatted with Su Ziyang for a long time.

"It's good that you're better, no need to be so polite!"

After hanging up the phone with a smile, Su Ziyang saw Fairy Li standing at the door.

"How's it going? Not busy today, Divine Doctor Su!"

Fairy Li sat down in the chair with a smile.

"No, no, you're not busy today, Master Li!"

"No rush, no rush!"

"Come with me to look at washing machines after get off work!"

"OK!"

"After seeing the washing machine, I still want to watch a movie..."

"OK..."

After making the appointment, Fairy Li grabbed her small bag and ran off.

After treating more than ten patients in a row, Su Ziyang was just about to take a break when he received a call from his mother.

"Ziyang, you must be busy!"

My mother's voice came through the phone.

"Ah! I just finished, Mom, I just sat down to have a drink of water!!"

Su Ziyang took a sip of water from his cup and said.

"How's it going with you two, Zijun? Do you have enough money? I'll transfer some to you later."

Su Ziyang's mother asked with concern.

"Mom, we have enough money. Zijun and I are almost done. Don't send me any more money, we have plenty. If we need more, I'll ask you for more."

Su Ziyang chuckled.

"That's fine. Your dad keeps asking me if you have enough money. I've already told him to just send it..."

Su Ziyang's mother complained on the phone...

Then Su Ziyang heard his father's voice from the side. "You're always trying to curry favor with your son. Didn't I tell you to transfer the money? I told you to!"

"I'm on the phone, get out of here!"

The two started teasing each other, and Su Ziyang listened with amusement.

"Oh, right. There's something else. Your cousin, your uncle's sister, has been married for many years but still doesn't have children. She's looked in many places, but nothing has helped. She came to visit this time and said she'd like you to take a look at her. Can you add her on WeChat?"

My mom said on the phone.

"Hey, I thought you were genuinely concerned about me, turns out you had something on your mind!"

Su Ziyang deliberately drew out his words on the phone.

"Don't be so disrespectful! I'll send you her WeChat in a bit, then you can add her!"

Su Ziyang's mother pretended to be angry and said, "Hurry up and take a good look. Don't be careless, be careful!"

"Knew!"

Su Ziyang quickly agreed.

"Okay! I've pushed it over for you."

Just as Su Ziyang's mother hung up the phone, she saw a notification pop up on WeChat.

Before Su Ziyang could add anything, a phone call suddenly came in.

"My business is doing pretty well..."

Su Ziyang muttered a curse to himself as he answered the phone.

"Ah! Doctor Su, I have a question for you."

Su Ziyang didn't know who this person was, but since he addressed him by name, Su Ziyang knew that he must be one of his patients.

"Yes, please go ahead."

"Exactly, these days we often hear about sudden deaths, where people don't show any warning signs at all. We've been discussing this today, and it's making us quite anxious. Could you explain it to us a bit?"

Hearing Su Ziyang's silence, the person on the other end suddenly sounded a little embarrassed, "Doctor Su, are you busy? I'm sorry to bother you."

"Well, it's not busy right now. Let me organize my thoughts and say a few words to you briefly."

Su Ziyang was also surprised to receive such a phone call.

"That's right, there must have been signs. Nothing can happen suddenly without any warning. In the principles of the I Ching, this can be described as 'treading on frost leads to solid ice.' Once even the slightest sign appears, we should know the seriousness of the problem."

"First of all, most sudden deaths are caused by prolonged strenuous labor. Here, 'strenuous labor' refers not only to physical labor but also to mental labor. Anything that involves hard work is considered labor."

"This is the most common trigger. Generally, you should pay attention to these small details in your body. The first one is unexplained dizziness and headache."

"The second is a sudden change in appetite. Someone who used to eat a lot might suddenly lose their appetite, or someone who used to eat very little might suddenly develop a huge appetite and eat and drink excessively. This refers to sudden, unannounced changes. If this occurs, you should pay attention and get checked out immediately."

"Thirdly, any vague discomfort in the heart, such as palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, or chest pain, should be checked immediately for early detection and treatment!"

"At this time, some false alarms often occur. For example, a sudden emotional stimulus may cause palpitations or chest tightness, which most people attribute to anger and believe will subside once they feel better. In fact, this is your body giving you a signal that there is a problem and that you should get checked and treated early."

"Fourth, unexplained fatigue, weakness, lack of energy, numbness in the hands and feet, and unexplained hot or cold hands and feet are also signs of uneven blood and qi circulation."

"What I just mentioned are all contributing factors. As the saying goes, flies don't land on eggs without cracks. And the most fundamental reason is also a matter of one's own innate constitution."

Everyone has weaknesses; a perfect person is almost nonexistent. In fact, many people are afraid to face their weaknesses in life. They are even reluctant to go for a medical check-up, fearing that there might be a problem.

"Many people share this view. In fact, we should correct our thinking. The idea of prevention is not new; our ancestors put forward this concept of thinking as well."

The medical sage Zhang Zhongjing wrote in his book, "If one can cultivate caution and prevent pathogenic winds from interfering with the meridians, and if they do not affect the meridians before spreading to the internal organs, one should treat them. If the limbs feel heavy and sluggish, one should practice guiding exercises, breathing exercises, acupuncture, moxibustion, and topical application of ointments, to prevent the nine orifices from becoming blocked."

"This means that early detection and treatment of diseases are crucial to nip them in the bud. Once a disease has developed and chaos has erupted, it is already too late to treat it."

"Do you understand what I'm saying now?!"
