Chapter 229: A hurdle in front of you
When I say all of this.
I know that the last thing I want to face is finally in front of me.
For so many years, I've been running away from one fact.
That is, strictly speaking, I did not get the Ji family's medical license.
Although I got a certificate as a licensed physician, and although I was recognized by the society, I was still an apprentice in the Ji family.
The reason for this is that I flinched in the face of the last severe assessment.
Before the Song Dynasty of the Ji family, there were many people who practiced medicine abroad.
But in the Song Dynasty, after moving to settle in the depths of this mountain, there were fewer and fewer people practicing medicine outside.
Of the uncles of my grandfather's generation, only my grandfather was the only one who got the permission to practice medicine in the world, and was recognized by the ancestors of the Ji family.
As far as I know of my father's generation, only two people, my second uncle and my father, have been recognized by the ancestors.
It's my turn, because it is the continuation of the Ji family's incense, most of the people in the clan love it, and no one forces me to perform that procedure.
But though they don't say it, I always have this knot in my heart.
The content of the assessment has a subtle connection with the solution to this snake venom.
The ball ball snake is a name given to it by the locals.
Its snake venom is a neurotoxin, but the onset is slightly slower.
It is recorded in the case of Ji Jiayi that if you are bitten by this snake, you must prepare the antidote and give it to the patient within ten hours.
The ten hours do not refer to the ten days, but to the hour after the ten hours, and before the eleventh hour, the medicine must be put in place.
Otherwise, the person who is bitten will suddenly have inflammation of the nervous system throughout the body, and then within three hours, quickly die.
In addition, before taking the medicine, the patient is paralyzed and unable to move to eat. If the body is forcibly moved, it is easy to cause an early attack of snake venom.
There is really no way to estimate this advance time.
It could be three days, two days, or an hour, ten minutes.
Therefore, the sooner the medication is taken, the greater the benefit for the patient.
To cure this snake venom, you need several fresh herbs that are special to the mountain, and then pound them into juice, mix them with a very important medicine, and after taking it, you can be cured within a day.
This important medicine citation was frequently cited in the medical cases of the Ji family after the Song Dynasty.
Because of this, its effect is too great, not only can detoxify, but also can drive away vicious abscesses, and its medicinal effect is very domineering.
It is a reptile of the lizard family, because of its small size, only the length of an adult's index finger, and can fly quickly on grass blades, so it is named Grass Fly.
But flying on grass alone is not only ineffective, but also a poisonous thing. When a person eats it, it is easy to have acute thrombocytopenia, then subcutaneous capillary bleeding, organ bleeding, and then, hang up......
There is a natural predator that flies on the grass, and we call it the 'big hairy spider' here, which is a forest spider that is very large (about the size of a small bowl of rice).
The big hairy spider especially likes to build webs to prey on grass and fly this small lizard, and before hunting, it will first use its fangs to pierce the lizard's body and kill it, then spit out spider silk, wrap the small lizard layer by layer, and finally stretch out the spider's claws to hold the grass and fly up, and just remain motionless until it eats only the bones.
The medicine of the Ji family was just killed by the big hairy spider with its fangs, and the grass wrapped in spider silk flew up.
The toxicity of the giant hairy spider can neutralize the toxicity of the grass flying, and the combination of the substances contained in the spider silk can provide excellent natural medicine.
But another problem arises.
It's just that when you take this medicine, you can't kill the big hairy spider. Because, that thing has been stabbing two fangs into the body of the grass flying. As long as it is killed at once, before the big hairy spider dies, it desperately releases venom, and the toxins in the body of the grass fly exceed the standard, and there is no way to enter the medicine.
You have to reach out and gently take this grass from the mouth of the big hairy spider and fly.
In the process, you have to carefully peel off the claws of the big hairy spider little by little, and slowly and gently fly down the grass. Also, you have to make sure that you don't startle the big hairy spider, because if it does, it is very likely that it will reflexively spray toxins.
So, for this process, you can't wear gloves because gloves will isolate the touch and will hinder your dexterity, and you can only peel off with your bare hands, little by little.
Eventually, when the giant hairy spider finds out that it has lost its food, it will angrily stab its fangs in your hand.
Feel relieved!
Since the big hairy spider has already hunted and flew on the grass once, its toxin is limited, and that bit of poison will not be fatal.
But the reaction to the poisoning ......
My dad is a man with a strong personality! How strong is it, when he went out to see a doctor, his arm was broken, and it was an open fracture, he gritted his teeth and connected it himself!
But it's such an iron man.
After letting the big hairy spider bite, he roared in pain in the stilted building for four days and four nights!
What kind of pain is that?
It will amplify the sensitivity of the central nervous system to the outside world.
Let's just say that when you're lying in bed, you'll feel like your back is pricked in your nerves by countless needles.
And, during the whole process, when someone else blows, you will experience being blown in the face by a knife like the wind, the weather is slightly hot, and you will feel like you are in the fire!
The real wind, cold, summer, humidity and fire!
The six evils of Chinese medicine, after you are poisoned, you will experience it more thoroughly than anyone in the world.
The ancestors of the Ji family called this a house, if you become a great doctor, you must first experience the pain of all evils!
It is to empathize, through such suffering, to truly understand the patient's suffering, and then when treating the disease, there is no distraction, and the pain of the other party is regarded as pain, so that he can become a qualified Ji family doctor!
The poison of the big hairy spider will not die if it dies.
But that kind of pain will make you want to die! It will make you feel that one more second of life is painful.
And, it will torment you for five days and five nights!
The Ji family has a medicine to cure this poison.
On the third day, my dad couldn't stand the pain, and at that time, my grandfather stood in front of him with a bowl of medicine in his hand.
Drink it, and the pain goes away. However, he is not allowed to practice medicine for the rest of his life.
Don't drink!
Survive to the end and you're the winner.
My dad was such an iron man, and he cried and begged his grandfather to give him the medicine.
I heard my uncle say that my grandfather was really soft, but when I thought about it, the second uncle was not at home for many years, and someone had to inherit the things on this mountain in the future, and there were things from the ancestors. So, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he dropped the medicine bowl!
In despair, my dad survived to the end......
As for the third uncle, he didn't dare to try it at all!
And I'm ......
I don't know if this is a bad habit of feudal society, but at one time, I thought so.
Therefore, before, I didn't ask anything about this assessment at all, and I didn't ask my father or grandfather about it.
Because, as long as it is bitten by a large hairy spider once, the human body will produce corresponding immune antibodies.
The next time you are bitten, you won't have that kind of pain, at most it will be local redness and swelling, and it will disappear by itself in a few days.
It is exactly like this, on weekdays, the grass is taken and the medicine is mostly completed by the grandfather and the father.
Therefore, this time Anna was poisoned, and my heart was very entangled.
Should we ignore the rules of our ancestors and act according to the concepts of modern people, or should we fulfill the teachings left by our ancestors and truly experience the pain of the six true evils of wind, cold, summer, dampness, dryness, and fire?
I hesitated, really, for the first time.
At this time, the grandfather saw the wound of the foreign girl, called the leader of the foreigner, Li Wood, and began to introduce Anna's condition to him in English.
Lewood had a good face, and he picked up his phone and looked at it at one point, as if he wanted to make a call.
But......
The phone is out of signal.
The torrential rain must have washed away nearby communication cables.
In this case, in less than a month or two, the mobile company will definitely not fix the ground.
And, right now, it's the rainy season, and dark clouds are starting to pile up in the sky again.
Look, it's going to rain heavily.
It's impossible to get out of the mountain, Yang Niu'er, can only lie quietly in the village, waiting for the antidote to be dispensed......
Ten days, if there is no accident halfway, the foreign girl has ten days to live.
We carried the girl to the stilted building.
Placed in bed.
Grandpa called Dad, and the two checked the condition and began to perform needles, using acupuncture to slow down the onset of toxins.
At that time, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and gradually, the rain became heavier.
Grandpa and Dad looked at each other.
Grandpa said, "Let's go, go up the mountain!" ”
Dad nodded.
I was standing at the window of the stilted building.
Mu Ran saw them and the Dao Ye waiting downstairs, the three of them wore raincoats and sticks, and walked towards the road up the mountain step by step.
I stared blankly at their backs hidden in the wind and rain, and for the first time I felt inexplicably helpless......
Xiao Qi walked up to me at this time, put his little hand on my shoulder and asked, "Brother, what do you want?" ”
I sighed, took her hand from my shoulder and said, "I don't know, come, come with me and see Anna." ”
Anna's face was pale, and she couldn't speak very sharply.
My grandfather called my mother to take care of Anna's diet and daily life.
I checked Anna's pulse for a while, and I saw that there was no major problem.
got up, regardless of Xiao Qi's retention, came downstairs alone, sat on a wooden chair, and looked at the rain curtain intently.
What am I afraid of? 、
What to dodge from?
What should I bear?
What should I do next?
I......
I asked myself these questions in my mind.
Once again, I was lost.
And, this time, I was in my hometown, but I didn't have a second uncle, no grandfather, no Taoist master, no father.
I need to face it on my own!
That night, I didn't eat, I didn't sleep.
I was in the stilted building and thought about it for a night.
At dawn.
No news of dad them.
Seven o'clock in the morning, still nothing.
Eight o'clock, still not ......
It's raining!
There is no sign of stopping.
The sky was dark and gray.
For the first time, my heart became anxious, and I paced up and down the room restlessly.
Finally, I made up my mind!
I ran home in the rain, got my raincoat, put on my rain boots, and took a sickle in my hand, and I snatched the door out of the house and went straight to the mountain.
Just turned the corner.
I suddenly saw Xiao Qi wearing a raincoat, standing in the rain and staring at me blankly.
"Brother, why are you going?"
I gritted my teeth: "I have thought about it, I want to fulfill the rules of the Ji family!" I'm going to accept it, that last test! ”
With that, I ran into the smoke of the rain without looking back......
