Chapter 40: The Color of Appreciation
"Come, Raleigh, let Daddy see if you've seen any progress in your craft lately. With that, Zhuge Feng handed the tool to Raleigh. With the tool in hand, his mind went back and forth a thousand times, when had he ever learned such a thing. I just watched it a few times when I was a child, and now it's a bit reluctant to do it myself. Although he thought so, he still held the tool in one hand and slowly injected the true yuan into the tool, so that he could cut down a big tree without much effort at all.
With a few waves, Raleigh had already cut a tree trunk, and although it didn't take much effort, it was very miserable.
"Well, here, here, here, no, it's too rough. Zhuge Feng said to Raleigh's thing. "If you don't practice for a few days, your craft will regress too much. Hearing this, Raleigh scratched his head.
"Aunt Lu, let me help you. While Raleigh was busy working as a carpenter, Ling'er came to Lu's side.
"What a sensible girl. Lu said with a smile.
Although Lu Shi was now full of smiles on her face, when she saw Ling'er's cooking skills, the smile froze on her face.
"Miss Ling'er, haven't you cooked before?"
Hearing Lu's question, Ling'er couldn't help but blush. muttered in his heart, "I see that in their memories, cooking is quite simple, why did it end up in a mess with me?"
"It's okay, big girl, who doesn't have a time to start from scratch. Come, auntie teach you. ”
Just when a few people were eating and chatting, Uncle Liu appeared in front of the door on crutches.
"Raleigh, there's a guy in the next village who has measles, let's go see it today. ”
Measles is much more severe than ordinary measles, and patients with measles will become swollen all over the body, as if a layer of water has been injected into the skin, and then measles will appear on the skin inside the water......
Hearing Uncle Liu's call, the family who was talking and laughing hurriedly got up and helped Uncle Liu in, wanting him to sit and rest for a while, but Uncle Liu refused, saying that saving people is like fighting a fire, and he should set off immediately.
Raleigh had to follow Uncle Liu out, after all, the current Raleigh is also a doctor, and the doctor takes it as his duty to cure the sick and save people.
As Raleigh walked out, Lu handed him a wooden boxy box. "Raleigh, this is made for you by your father, take it. ”
He took the wooden box, and the medical tools he needed were neatly arranged. "Go, go early and come back early. Lu advised.
"I'm going too. Ling'er followed behind Raleigh, pulling the corner of Raleigh's clothes, looking at him with some grievances.
Raleigh smiled and nodded, he knew that Ling'er was suddenly getting along with so many people, and he was inevitably a little unaccustomed to it, and he was even more embarrassed to stay here because he helped Lu Shi cook this morning.
So the three of them began to walk out of the trail out of the mountain, and walked for about half a day before they walked out. The village they went to was not very crowded, only about a hundred people, but it was much larger than their village in Raleigh. Seeing the arrival of Raleigh and Uncle Liu, more than a dozen families in the whole village came out of their homes to greet them, and when they saw Uncle Liu's silver hair and trembling body, they all had great respect in their hearts. This is the healer!
When he looked at the two young men behind him, the man looked like a scholar, and the woman looked forward to it. Some people still have some impressions of Raleigh, after all, he has walked a little with Uncle Liu over the years. But for the beautiful woman next to Raleigh, everyone doesn't know it.
"Elder Liu, Elder Liu, you go into the room to rest, and we will carry those two people over to show you. An older man said.
"No need, people with measles don't move easily, let's go and see, you lead the way. Uncle Liu shook his hand and said.
When everyone heard Liu Lao's words, they didn't have much excuse and hurriedly led the way in front.
The village is not big, it is only a few dozen feet away, I walked to the patient's door, only to see four or five people waiting in front of the patient, the patient's whole body was edema, as if a lot of water had been forcibly injected, some places have been black and sore, and the skin is broken, pus also flows out, seeing this person, Ling'er suddenly felt a little churning in the abdomen, and almost vomited out the food he ate at night.
"Why don't you go out and wait for us. Raleigh sensed Ling'er's condition and spoke.
Hearing Raleigh speak, Ling'er ran out as if she had received amnesty.
"Raleigh, you see how I do it, the next patient, you come to heal. Uncle Liu took the box in Raleigh's hand, took out a small and sharp knife from it, and took out nine needles, the so-called nine needles, which are the needle, the needle, the needle, the needle, the beryllium needle, the sharp needle, the milli needle, the long needle and the big needle. According to the record of "Lingshu Guanzhu": "The nine needles are appropriate, each has its own purpose, and the length and size of each have their own use, and the disease can be moved." ”
Regarding the nine needles, it is also recorded in the "Essentials of Medical Skills", but Raleigh has never performed it, to be exact, in addition to healing himself, he has really healed only Mrs. Xu.
Uncle Liu held a knife in his hand, without any superfluous movements, the tip of the knife was aimed at a place where pus flowed, and then he used a force, just piercing it into a minute, followed by a needle piercing into the acupuncture points near it, the knife entered, the pus came out, the needle entered, and the pus was exhausted. After doing this, he took out a ball of thin thread and tied it to the first joint of the patient's ten fingers, so that he could relax, and finally ten thin threads tied a knot in the patient's chest, and the knot was formed in one piece, and the ten fingers were aligned with the heart......
Nine stitches had passed, and most of the pus had flowed out, soaking his clothes into a slimy paste. "Wipe his body clean, and I'll apply nine more stitches later, and that's it." Uncle Liu wiped his hands and said to the people around him.
"Raleigh, can you see it?"
"Master, disciple, each of your needles is the initial acupuncture point of a tendon and vein, a total of nine, meaning the beginning. ”
"You can see that, yes. Hearing Raleigh's answer, Uncle Liu's eyes showed a look of appreciation, he didn't expect Raleigh to see his methods.
But in the current Raleigh's view, Uncle Liu's methods seem to be missing something, if he didn't cultivate, he might not have been able to see it, but, as his cultivation deepened, I feel that this "Essentials of Medical Skills" is not like a mortal practice, but the techniques in it deliberately leave some methods, so that mortals can also use them. If Raleigh comes to do it, no tools are needed, just a small piece of Xiaoice, cut the skin, with the true yuan to urge, force out the pus between the skin and the flesh, because of the ice, it will not cause much damage to his body, as for the nine needles, it is to cure measles from the body, stimulate his own resistance to measles, so that he can urge the true yuan to enter the patient's body and completely remove the root of the disease.
After a while, the family members had scrubbed the patient clean and carried him to the bed.
Uncle Liu concocted the same method and forced out the other half of the pus. Although Uncle Liu is old, his technique is very old, and the accuracy of the acupuncture points is incomparable.
"Alright, Raleigh, you can treat another patient. Uncle Liu said.
Because Uncle Liu cured a person, the villagers began to call for it, and the dark clouds that hung over the hearts of the patient's relatives finally dispersed.
"I'll just say, as soon as Liu Lao comes, any disease can be cured, you didn't believe it at first, you have to go to some city to invite Langzhong, this time, not only did it not cure, but it worsened, fortunately Liu Lao came, otherwise, hehe......"
"It's not thinking, Lang Zhong in the city ......"
Uncle Liu ignored everyone's discussions, and as several people came to the door of another patient, seeing Uncle Liu's arrival, several people around the patient got out of the way, looking forward to Uncle Liu's move. At this time, Raleigh walked out a little shyly, holding a knife in his hand, ready to make a move.
"Wait, Old Liu, you are ......"
"I'm a little tired, let Raleigh come. Uncle Liu waved his hand, signaling him to rest assured.
"But ......"
"Don't worry, with me, nothing will happen. ”
Hearing what Uncle Liu said, he couldn't stop it anymore, so he obediently stepped aside.
