Chapter 003 My aunt is critically ill

After carefully inquiring about the longest-lived people in history, he unexpectedly discovered the name of Li Qingyuan, who is the longest-lived person recorded in modern Chinese history, who has lived for 256 years and is a well-documented super birthday star. Li Qingyuan was a native of Sichuan, born in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and died during the Republic of China. Li Qingyuan was proficient in medicine all his life, especially in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and at the age of 100, he was also awarded by the government at that time for his outstanding achievements in traditional Chinese medicine. Li Qingyuan summed up a lot of longevity experience in his life, and his longevity recipes have been adopted by many medical books. Seeing this information, I slapped the table with joy and laughed. The man at the table next to him showed a look of contempt. I hurriedly came back to my senses, lowered my head in shame, took out my notebook, and excerpted Li Qingyuan's relevant information. I was secretly thinking in my heart, it turned out that the strange ancient tomb couldn't be Li Qingyuan himself, right?

Peng Zu's detailed legend records are much easier to check, Peng Zu was born in Pengshan, Sichuan Province, during the period of Emperor Yao in ancient times, after three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou, and lived for up to 800 years. There is only one positive legend record, evaluating Peng Zu as the first martial arts master in history, the originator of diet and health care, and also left a legacy of the Su Women's Classic, the thirteen types of health preservation and beauty methods in the room, and the first master of sexual enlightenment education in China. But there are more negative legends, and in the language of the time, he was a delicious and lustful hooligan who harmed countless women in his life.

The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. If there really is a person in history, regardless of the current legal and moral factors, purely from the perspective of longevity, I admire and understand his behavior very much, just imagine that if you learn from Peng Zu's practice, you can live to be 800 years old, what will you do? Will you consider anything else? Not to mention 800 years old, even if it is 200 years old, it is estimated that you will be crazy to defy all norms. What's more, it is despicable to use the current moral norms to demand the people of ancient times.

Such a fulfilling day feels like a fly by. In the blink of an eye, the autumn leaves have been covered in thick winter snow, and in the winter in the northwest countryside, everyone is at home, and they rarely go out for non-important things. On this day, my mother said to me: "Dog, let's have breakfast, I will take you to your aunt's house in Xi'an City to see your aunt." Your aunt has not been in good health recently, she is being hospitalized, and I heard that she has cancer and will not live long. Your aunt is so good to you, you must accompany your aunt more and make your aunt happy. ”

"What? Aunt is hospitalized, or is it cancer?" my head buzzed, tears rolling in my eyes. My aunt, my most respected elder, such a good person, how could he have such a terrible disease?

My aunt's name is Wang Cuiqin, is a well-known high school in Xi'an Chinese teacher, only 4 years older than my mother, this year is in her early 46 years old, my aunt-in-law is a director of the Urban Construction Bureau, they have two daughters, one is my cousin, named Raymond, the other is my cousin, called Lei Ting, cousin Raymond was admitted to a normal college 2 years ago, is studying, will graduate next year, cousin Lei Ting is one year younger than me, is studying in high school at my aunt's school. Since my aunt's family didn't have a son, they treated me like their own son and treated me very well. As long as I open my mouth to ask for something, she will not hesitate to find a way to buy it for me, maybe now everyone thinks this is not good, but at the time, this is not good, at that time, everyone's living standards were not high, it can be regarded as just out of poverty, and the materials in society are not as rich as now, what do you want. At that time, my aunt's monthly salary was only 42 yuan. Auntie, the monthly salary of a bureau chief is only 68 yuan, and those who are old and have experienced that period of time can realize that my words are true. More than 100 yuan of clothes and food, she bought it for me without blinking an eye. It made her two daughters jealous, saying that I was her mother's own.

Slowly retracting my thoughts, I held back the tears in the corners of my eyes, and happily agreed: "Mom, then let's leave now, I don't have anything to do in the past few days, I'll stay with my aunt and serve well."

Squeezed on the bus, tossed a few more times, and finally entered the hospital, pushed open the inpatient department, and saw the aunt who was already haggard and thin like a sixty-year-old, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a few months, how did you become like this, it makes me feel so distressed."

The eldest aunt's eyes were rolling with tears, and she smiled: "My dog, he has really grown up, he is taller again, and he can talk better." Hehe, it's nothing, people always die once, isn't it the difference between dying a few years late and dying a few years early? Come, sit next to your aunt, and let your aunt take a good look at your changes, it's just nineteen changes in men's college, and the more you change, the better you look, hahahaha."

The heavy atmosphere suddenly disappeared into invisibility. My cousin, my cousin, and my uncle-in-law all smiled. The cousin also joked: "Cousin, you are so handsome, there should be a lot of girls who flatter you, right? Tell me, have you decided on a girlfriend?"

I blushed, rolled my eyes, and turned my head away.

"Cousin still blushes, like a big girl, and shy, isn't this like when you were a child, where is your unafraid arrogance?"

The atmosphere that had just risen was interrupted by a painful snort, and I saw my aunt curled up, her mouth desperately biting a towel, and the beads of sweat the size of beans were like beads with broken threads, which kept falling, and her distorted face was full of sallow, waxy yellow. Liver cancer is the most painful type of cancer, and the pain makes life worse than death.

The uncle-in-law hurriedly shouted, "Call the doctor and give me a morphine injection."

After a shot of morphine, the aunt was much quieter and fell asleep.

In the evening, I asked my uncle-in-law and cousin to go home and rest for a few days, and I would accompany my aunt, who was really tired during these days, so they all agreed and went home to make up for sleep. In the middle of the night, my aunt woke up, took my hand, and kept talking to me, saying that she was going to be discharged from the hospital in the next two days, since it was liver cancer, there was only one way to cure it, so what was the point of being here, it was better to go home to recuperate, even if she died, she would die at home. I listened to it for a while, I didn't know what to do, I wanted to help my aunt, I wanted her to live comfortably during the last period, but the tiger ate the sky, and I didn't know what to do. For the first time, I felt so useless, did I see my loved ones suffering in pain like this? Until the last moment of my life? My mind was flying, I couldn't look like this, I couldn't do nothing, I had to do something, I had to do something, what did I do?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to me, doesn't that book say that all diseases in the human body are caused by blood pollution? That is to say, if the blood is replaced, can't the pollution be eliminated? Yes, anyway, there is no cure for liver cancer in medicine at present, so I will use the method in the book to try to cure it, and in a not very nice sentence, let's treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor. At the very least, there is a glimmer of hope.

After thinking about it for a while, I gritted my teeth and told my aunt about this decision, I didn't dare to say the process of robbing my tomb, only that I had been addicted to medical research for more than half a year, and I just happened to see an ancient book with the method of exchange of blood, and with Chinese medicine acupuncture and decoction, the patient's life was extended for more than ten years.

Aunt smiled and said: "Silly child, there is no way to do this disease in the world at present, there is only one way to wait for death, just rely on your two knives, no, after twenty knives, can you cure this disease? After speaking, his face was full of reluctance, helplessness and misery.

I was silent for a while, I felt that I must not give up, this is not for me, it is for my aunt who loves me, if I don't do it, there is no hope, if I do it, there is a glimmer of hope. Besides, it may be difficult to exchange blood in ancient times, and it is normal to kill a few or even dozens of innocent people, but in modern times, the blood bank in the hospital is full of usable plasma, and it seems that it is not a difficult thing to exchange blood.

Thinking of this, I encouraged her to explain the pros and cons of the matter to my aunt clearly, and then combined it with why the blood was exchanged, what was the basis for ancient times, and what modern medicine thought. Next, the ease and cost-effectiveness of exchange transfusion are analyzed, and compared with the subsequent painful and ineffective chemotherapy and drug treatment, it is better to choose exchange transfusion therapy that contains a certain amount of hope and the patient is not guilty.

My aunt was obviously moved by what I said, and began to hesitate. I was not in a hurry, and waited patiently for my aunt's decision.

After a long while, the aunt finally spoke: "Dog, how sure are you?"

I smiled wryly, "Auntie, I am very sure of the success rate of the transfusion operation, but the degree of recovery of your body after the transfusion, and even whether there will be rejection, whether you can absorb it, I am not a professional doctor after all, and the later care still needs to rely on the hospital." ”

"Alright then, when your uncle-in-law comes tomorrow, the three of us will discuss what to do. ”

Early the next morning, my uncle-in-law brought me over early, and the three of us talked while eating. When my uncle-in-law heard these things that were beyond modern common sense, he looked at me incredulously and resolutely objected to us making such nonsense. I was not in a hurry or impatient, but only asked: "Uncle, then what else do you say can cure my aunt's illness?"

My uncle's face turned red, and he said angrily: "There is no way in the whole country, there is no way in the whole world, and I have no way." ”

I replied with a nonchalant face: "Then we can only watch my aunt die and do nothing?"

The uncle's expression froze. I continued: "At present, the most advanced medical technology cannot save my aunt, and instead of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to do some useless work that makes patients extremely painful, it is better to use some local methods to test prescriptions, which may have unimaginable results? After all, there are still some merits in the inheritance of thousands of years of culture from our ancestors. ”
