In the early years of the Republic of China, there was a big boss in the silk business in Chongqing named Kang Caiwang. He was only 1.6 meters tall and weighed 250 catties, so although he was only in his early fifties, he was very cumbersome and slow to move. After dinner that night, Boss Kang lay on a cold bed on the platform, blowing a fan to cool off. The maid Wang Ma brought him a cup of herbal tea, and as soon as Boss Kang took a sip, he "puffed" all the water out, and angrily scolded: "Why is there a tea stem in it? I almost choked on the trachea!" Wang Ma was terrified: "Master, blame me for not seeing clearly. I'll go and get you another cup right away!" Saying that, she picked up the teacup and turned to retreat.

At this moment, only to hear Boss Kang shout "ouch", Wang Ma looked back and saw Boss Kang waving his hand and hitting his stomach. Wang Ma was startled: "Master, are there mosquitoes? I'll give you some mosquito coils right away!" "It's not a mosquito," Boss Kang was so fat that he couldn't get up. He lifted his clothes and pointed to his stomach with his fingers, "Come and show me, why is your belly button so itchy?" The master ordered, Wang Ma naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went forward and leaned down. At a glance, Boss Kang's belly button was really extraordinary, as big as a copper coin, with layers of folds. At that moment, Boss Kang's aunt came over, twisting her butt. Seeing this scene, she immediately teased: "Hmph, the electric fan can't even blow cold, and someone still needs to blow it like this?" "Bah!" Boss Kang shouted loudly, "My belly button is itchy to death, don't come and have a look, what kind of cold words are you saying?" Boss Kang's shout attracted the second aunt over as well. Seeing that Boss Kang really had an itchy stomach, the two women ordered Wang Ma: "Go and get a basin of hot water, and wash the master." Wang Ma hurriedly went to get hot water, wrapped her fingers in a towel, dipped it in water, and gently dug and washed for Boss Kang, and Boss Kang finally settled down. But the strange thing is that since then, Boss Kang's belly button has been itching several times a day, and it is useless for Mother Wang to wash it with hot water. Later, even the skin around the belly button began to become red and swollen. The aunt saw that the situation was not good, so she did not dare to ignore it, so she quickly invited an old Chinese medicine doctor. The old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed three doses of miraculous medicine, but after Boss Kang took the medicine, the belly button still itched correctly, and the number of attacks was more frequent. In desperation, the second aunt went to the hospital to invite a western doctor, a female doctor who came back from overseas. She gave Boss Kang imported injections and took imported medicine, but as soon as the female doctor left, Boss Kang covered his belly button and itched so much that he cried for his father and mother. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine don't work, what's going on? Everyone didn't understand. Today, a guest came to Boss Kang's house, a distant cousin of Aunt Kang, named Li Qing. When Aunt Kang and Li Qing talked about Boss Kang's belly button, Li Qing said that he knew an herbalist surnamed Wen who had cured many difficult and complicated diseases for others, so he might as well call him to have a look. Aunt Kang asked Li Qing to bring Wen Herbal Doctor, and she and the second aunt would meet first.

But when they saw this person, the two concubines couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Why? This doctor Wen Caoyi was unkempt and had a big cigarette stick in his mouth. With the sound of smoking, the saliva in his mouth "ticked" and dripped down. The two concubines felt nauseous, but they endured it in order to treat Boss Kang.

The aunt asked Wen Caoyi, "Where is your hometown?" But Wen Caoyi's answer was wrong: "I'm not jealous every day, but I drink a lot."

The aunt was so confused that Li Qing hurriedly said, "Sister, his ears are not good, and he is not used to your accent." As he spoke, he pointed at Wen Caoyi, "My sister is asking, where is your hometown?" "Oh," Wen Caoyi nodded, "I understand, there are two wives competing for a man at home!" The aunt was more and more confused, Li Qing hurriedly explained, "He said that he lives in Zhiluping, Shanxi Province." The second aunt then asked, "How many people are there in Mr.'s family?" Wen Caoyi answered quickly: "One person has seven sisters-in-law." This time the second aunt heard it clearly, and said in surprise: "There are seven sisters-in-law? Isn't there seven brothers? There are always nieces and nephews, how can I say that there is only one person?" Li Qing hurriedly explained, "What he meant was'one person is full and the whole family is not hungry '." The two aunts really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The auntie said casually, "How old is your husband this year?" Who knew that Doctor Wen Caoyi actually pulled his throat and shouted, "The big and small wives are sleeping with men." The auntie and the second aunt were so angry that their faces turned blue. The second aunt couldn't help but blurt out and scold, "You...

You pee on yourself? Like something! "After saying that, he sent Doctor Wen away angrily. The two concubines were full of anger and shouted at Boss Kang," If it wasn't for you, how could we be ridiculed by a grass doctor who is inferior to pigs and dogs? "Boss Kang was confused by this prison. The second monk was busy asking about the whole matter, and the two concubines gestured and vented again. When Boss Kang heard this, he thought to himself: I wouldn't introduce this grass doctor for no reason, right? He turned his mind and asked Li Qing to make another trip to bring the grass doctor Wen to take a look for himself. The next day, Li Qing brought Doctor Wen. Boss Kang was also very disappointed when he saw Doctor Wen's scruffy appearance, but he still forced a smile and lay down on the cold bed for Doctor Wen to diagnose. Doctor Wen leaned down to take a closer look, and saw a belly button that was bigger than a wine glass, red and swollen, and the folds in the middle were swollen to the point of emerging. Doctor Wen frowned, sat down on a stool next to him, and gestured at Boss Kang with both hands. Boss Kang asked in surprise, "Do you want to operate?" Doctor Wen shook his head, opened his mouth to Li Qing, and took a long breath. Li Qing hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, Mr. Wen is addicted to smoking."

"Oh!" Boss Kang nodded and hurriedly told Mother Wang, "Go and get the foreign grass cigarettes!" Dr. Wen smoked three big sticks of grass cigarettes one after another, and finally got addicted to smoking. Suddenly, he sat on the ground again, clutching his stomach and shaking his head. Boss Kang thought he was going to have diarrhea, so he quickly told Mother Wang to get the toilet. Li Qing stopped him and said, "Brother-in-law, I think Mr Wen is hungry." Boss Kang hurriedly asked Mother Wang to get some snacks. After eating and drinking, Dr. Wen wiped his glossy mouth and gestured at Li Qing. Li Qing hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, Mr. Wen said, let's scoop a bowl of water."

Wen Caoyi took the bowl and used his left thumb, index finger, and little finger to hold the bowl. His right thumb, index finger, and middle finger formed a sword finger with it, aimed at the mouth of the water bowl, and then stretched out two fingers of his right hand, gently dipped in water and rubbed it on Boss Kang's belly button.

The original itchy belly button was very comfortable after being wiped with water. Boss Kang took a long breath and couldn't help but ask, "Mr Wen, what method did you use?" Doctor Wen glanced at him, but didn't answer.

About ten minutes later, Doctor Wen Cao stopped talking and asked for a straw of grass smoke, "Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa" to smoke. He smoked until the straw of grass smoke was burned to the stomach of the cigarette rod, and then he "puffed" and blew it out. Then he stretched out, yawned long, stood up, and punched Boss Kang in the stomach: "What are you still doing asleep? It's time to get up!"

Boss Kang was stunned, and finally got out of the cold bed with the help of Mother Wang. He touched his belly button and laughed happily: "Wonderful! It's not itchy at all! Mr. is really a miracle doctor! Quick, give me the reward money!" Boss Kang stuffed a large amount of silver into Doctor Wen Caoyi's hand, and Li Qing naturally received a great reward. After a full meal, Dr. Wen Caoyi said goodbye and went out, and Li Qing also sent it out. After walking out of the Kang family for a long time, Doctor Wen Caoyi suddenly said with great pride: "Brother, my play is not bad!" Li Qing said disdainfully, "Don't think it's amazing, isn't it a chance for me to blow it at you?" Oh, I dare you two to play double reeds. Because Li Qing knew that the Kang family was very rich, he wanted to take the opportunity to make a good fortune, but he was afraid that Wen Caoyi would betray him if he said something wrong, so he warned him again and again not to speak casually. Li Qing patted Wen Caoyi on the shoulder and said, "Hmph, the reward I got is enough for my family to eat for a year, but you are only one person, how can you use it up?" Wen Caoyi pouted at him and said, "Brother, do you think I use it alone? I still have to burn incense for the Bodhisattva!" "What incense are you burning? Didn't you just use a little bit of water silver beads! By the way, what is in my brother-in-law's belly button?" Li Qing asked curiously. "What is it? Isn't it half wind?" Li Qing asked again. Doctor Wen Cao proudly said: "Half wind, isn't it just a word'lice '! In your brother-in-law's belly button, there is actually a big louse doing something wrong. I encountered it when I was a child, so I knew what was going on at a glance."
