Chapter 215: Return to Chang'an
"Because she's a doctor, and she's a very good doctor." Guo Chengsi, who had been silent, finally spoke, and his tone was full of undisguised pride.
When Zhong Ziyuan heard the old man say this, the first thing he considered was traumatic hemopneumothorax. In her previous life, she had dealt with many of these trauma patients, so she was very familiar with the clinical manifestations of the disease. Naturally, she reported those symptoms casually.
"I didn't expect the girl to have great skills at such a young age." The old man grabbed Zhong Ziyuan's sleeve, like a drowning man grasping the last straw, and said very excitedly: "Girl, please help save my tiger." The old man has been hunting and collecting medicine in the mountains all year round, and he also knows the danger of this disease. In his opinion, since Zhong Ziyuan has narrated the symptoms, there will definitely be a way to treat it.
Zhong Ziyuan looked embarrassed and said, "Although I know what the illness is, I don't have anything in my hands at the moment, so I can't do anything with just one hand!" ”
The old man blushed, shook his beard and said anxiously: "You just have to say what girl you need, the little old man must work hard to prepare." Huzi is only fourteen years old, and his father and mother went early. He followed the little old man to suffer a lot, he really shouldn't die! ”
Zhong Ziyuan suddenly ran out of ideas, she pondered for a moment, and said, "Then I'll try, but old man, this life and death are fateful." I can only do my best, whether I can succeed depends on the life of the tiger. "In this era, there is no such thing as signing a preoperative consent form, so Zhong Ziyuan can only say the ugly words first. After all, there is a shortage of medical treatment, and some simple medical equipment at hand has also been left in Chang'an. Now she has to go to temporary preparations, and she really can't guarantee what the consequences will be.
"Done! Done! As long as you are willing to save my family, girl, it will be done. The old man's answer was very cheerful, or rather the fearless of the ignorant.
Zhong Ziyuan said apologetically to Guo Chenghe: "It seems that this leek scrambled egg can only be eaten another day." ”
Guo Chengsi watched her from the side, and his expression gradually changed from hesitation to firmness. I guessed what she was going to do. So he smiled slightly and said, "It's okay! ”
Zhong Ziyuan borrowed paper, ink, pen and inkstone from a shop next to her, opened a prescription, and gave the old man some money to tell him to grab medicine, and she and Guo Chengsi hurried back to the small courtyard. She asked Guo Chengsi to go to the vegetable field to pick the whole pumpkin vine, but she ran to find Yuji herself.
"What? Want a hollow hairpin? "Yuhime happened to wear an apron and wrap her hair in a handkerchief. Wielding a spatula, he was in the kitchen frying those hand-picked beans. She frowned, and said extremely arrogantly: "The prince treats us very well, and he never uses any hollow jewelry to coax our sisters." ”
Zhong Ziyuan's face darkened. He said, "It's meant to be used to heal the sick and save people, think about it again." ”
"It's the first time I've heard of using hairpins to save people." Yu Ji frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "There are no hairpins, but I have recently created a few new secret weapons. It happens to be hollow. Why don't you take it and try it and see if it works? ”
Zhong Ziyuan was dripping with black sweat all over his head, and said helplessly: "The hidden weapon is the hidden weapon!" As long as it works. ”
Yuji's hidden weapon is a silver needle, which is much thicker and longer than an ordinary embroidery needle, and the middle is indeed hollow. Tamaki explains that she had intended to pour poison into the middle of the silver needle and make it a portable killing weapon. Unfortunately, after the silver needle was built, she found that as long as the poison was poured into it, the whole silver needle would become completely black. For this, Yukihime also laughed at her for several days, and Yuhime was angry. Abandon it.
This was an unexpected joy, Zhong Ziyuan unceremoniously put away all the silver needles. He packed up a few things in the house that he could use, and then went back to the market with Guo Chengsi to look for the old man.
The old man's home is halfway up the Kashgar Mountains, and the ordinary courtyard is made of stones and thatch, which is very simple. However, the courtyard is backed by green hills, and a small stream flows in front of the door, which looks quite poetic. It's just that there are no other residents in a radius of more than ten miles around the small courtyard, which seems very deserted.
Under the eaves hangs a slip of red air-dried meat, pickled small fish larvae. In the open space outside the house, there are still some dried vegetables and wild fruits. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, it seems that although the grandfather and grandson have no money, they have a very comfortable life.
Before he got close to the house, the old man with a large bag called out anxiously: "Huzi, Huzi, grandpa has invited a miracle doctor for you, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Huzi was lying on the bed alone, his face extremely ugly. Because of the pain, large beads of sweat appeared on his pale face. The old man hurriedly dropped the things in his hand, pounced over and asked, "Huzi, Huzi, what do you think?" ”
"Pain, panting, out of breath...... Huzi opened his mouth to breathe rapidly, his face was pale, and he only struggled to spit out this sentence after half a day.
The old man wiped the muddy tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to Zhong Ziyuan hopefully: "Girl, let's take a look!" ”
Zhong Ziyuan reached out to probe Huzi's pulse, then opened his eyelids to look at his eyelids, and finally lifted the patched coat on his body, revealing a messy wound covered with black ash underneath.
Guo Chengsi, who was following her, asked in surprise, "What is on the wound?" How black and slimy. ”
The old man hurriedly said, "That's the ash at the bottom of the pot." ”
Zhong Ziyuan nodded and said: "The ash at the bottom of the pot, also known as the herb frost, is formed by smoke, its taste is pungent, and the temperature is non-toxic. It has the effect of hemostasis and antidiarrheal. ”
Immediately afterward, she instructed the old man: "Go and boil some boiling water, the more the better, and bring it over after it cools." Remember, the pot for boiling water can't have any oil stars. ”
She took out another small package, which contained a thin roll of cotton thread, a stack of white cotton cloth, a silver needle, a sharp dagger, and a few sewing needles bent into a semicircle. She put all these things in Guo Chengsi's hands, and explained solemnly: "I taught you how to disinfect before, so I used that method to deal with all these things." and the medicine that I caught earlier, I also boiled it together and cooled it to come over. ”
"No problem, just leave it to me." Guo Chengsi patted his chest and agreed. Then she took what she had in her hand and went to prepare.
After Zhong Ziyuan finished explaining to them, he turned his gaze back to the child with a painful face. She said gently, "Huzi, now I need to find out where the key injuries on your body are. It might hurt a little, but you have to tell me how you really feel, you know? ”
Huzi opened his mouth sharply and breathed, his eyes a little sluggish. He struggled to lift his spirits and nodded with difficulty.
"What a good boy." Zhong Ziyuan comforted with words, and carefully pressed on Huzi's chest and abdomen. Without instruments, she had to rely on her hands. Rely on your eyes to judge.
When she touched Huzi's ribs, Huzi couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. Zhong Ziyuan could feel a lump with clear edges under his fingertips, and there would be a sense of fluctuation when he pressed hard.
"Strange?" Zhong Ziyuan muttered puzzled. Suddenly, she asked, "Huzi, did you still drink medicine to stop bleeding?" ”
Huzi endured the pain and said with difficulty: "Grandpa gave me a bowl of medicine, and I don't know what it is." ”
"It must be a hemostatic drug." Zhong Ziyuan muttered, "I also lost this bowl of medicine." Stopped your internal bleeding. Otherwise. That's a big problem. When Huzi heard this, his pupils shrank, obviously very afraid.
Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly reassured: "Don't be afraid, now that your internal bleeding has stopped, I just need to expel the congestion in your chest and lungs, as well as the free gas." Huzi nodded as if he didn't understand, and a pair of wet eyes stared at Zhong Ziyuan trustingly.
It didn't take long. The old man brought boiling water after cooling, and Guo Chengsi brought sterilized needles and threads and boiled medicinal juice. He picked up the medicinal juice and wanted to help Huzi. Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly said: "Wait, that medicine is not for drinking, it is for Huzi to wash his wounds." ”
Guo Chengsi was surprised: "Why do you wash the wound with medicinal juice?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan explained patiently: "Cleaning the wound with this medicinal juice can minimize bacterial infection, and I asked you to sterilize those needles and threads and blades, which is the most important step in treating trauma. ”
Guo Chengsi nodded as if he didn't understand, and said that he had been taught.
Zhong Ziyuan carefully washed his hands with the water that the old man had boiled, and then washed them again with medicinal juice. Guo Chengsi looked strange from the side, he had also seen many military doctors treating the wounded, all of them were in a hurry, and he had never made such meticulous preparations, he couldn't help but say: "Could it be that this is also the strict disinfection you said?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan nodded and said, "The better the preliminary work is done, the lower the chance of the patient being infected, and the greater the hope of a cure." You've washed your hands the way I did, and you might need your help later! Guo Chengsi did not refuse, and washed his hands with interest.
When he washed his hands, Zhong Ziyuan had already used water and medicinal juice to clean the ashes at the bottom of the pot at Huzi's wound, revealing the wound that had long been closed and scabbed underneath. Zhong Ziyuan stretched out his slender hand and picked up the sharp knife and stabbed it under the tiger's ribs.
As soon as the cold tip of the knife touched Huzi's skin, Zhong Ziyuan's hand was grabbed by the old man, and he shouted in horror: "Girl, what are you doing here?" Huzi was already seriously injured, and if you go down with this knife, you still have to kill him? ”
"Let go, I'm treating Huzi!" Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly urged.
"I've never seen a stab to cure a disease. We're gone, we're gone. The old man shook his head violently in horror, and he clung to it more and more, refusing to let go at all. I am afraid that if I am not careful, the sharp knife in Zhong Ziyuan's hand will kill Huzi.
Zhong Ziyuan couldn't cry or laugh a little, so she had to patiently explain: "I only need to make two small openings on him." ”
"Two more openings? Aren't you asking for the life of my tiger? The old man's face became more and more ugly, although his knees were a little weak, but he became more and more stubborn: "I don't want you to be cured, you go quickly!" ”
Zhong Ziyuan said helplessly: "Old man, you listen to me" Before she finished speaking, Guo Chenghe's neat knife knocked the stubborn old man unconscious.
Zhong Ziyuan was dumbfounded, but he shrugged his shoulders and said unhurriedly: "Since you are in a hurry to save people, you don't need to talk to him so much!" ”
Zhong Ziyuan was silently embarrassed, okay! You win
By the time the old man woke up, it was already half an hour later.
"Huzi, my Huzi, if you have any three longs and two shorts, how can I be worthy of your dead father" The old man broke into the house in a hurry, but saw Huzi half-lying on the bed, with two long silver needles on his chest. One end of the needle was actually attached to a long pumpkin vine, and the other end of the pumpkin vine was in two jars. Huzi called his grandfather weakly, and immediately called out the old man's old tears.
"My poor tiger, are you alright!" Such a scene was so weird that the old man was shocked and sweated all over his body. He pounced on it to take a look, but Guo Chengsi quickly stopped his recklessness.
Although Huzi was weak, he didn't forget to comfort: "Grandpa, I feel much better." ”
The dizzy old man found that although Huzi's face was still ugly, his breathing was much calmer. He couldn't help but stammer, "Really, really good?" Although Huzi said that it was better, the white cotton cloth tightly wrapped around his chest and the two silver needles that were deeply inserted pierced the old man's eyes.
"How can it be so fast!" Zhong Ziyuan walked in with a bowl of black medicinal juice and said with a smile: "Although the piercing was successful, the follow-up nursing work should not be underestimated, and it will still go wrong if you are not careful." In addition, Huzi's body is weak, and if he touches something unclean, it will still be very dangerous, so the next seven days are very important. She couldn't explain the infections and complications to an elderly man, so she could only try to express them in words he could understand.
The old man had already seen clearly that in the jar connected to the pumpkin vine, one was filled with clear water, and bubbles were bubbling out from time to time. In the other jar was the blood of the small half jar.
"This blood is flowing from Huzi's body?" The old man felt that his knees were weak again, he pointed to the two silver needles that only showed one tail, and said in a trembling voice: "This, will it really not harm my tiger?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I guarantee that these two silver needles are only used to treat diseases and save people, and they will not harm people." ”
Seeing that Zhong Ziyuan finally calmed down the panicked old man, and explained the basic precautions, Guo Chengsi anxiously pulled her out.
"What's wrong?" Standing in the courtyard, Zhong Ziyuan asked puzzled.
Guo Chengsi was silent for a moment and said, "Wasn't it successfully cured?" But you say that the next seven days of this child are very important, do you want to stay here and take care of him for seven days? ”
Zhong Ziyuan smiled and said, "The puncture technique is only the first step, and there are still many things to be done later. Save people to the end, it's nothing anyway, I want to watch here, and wait until the tiger is almost good before leaving. ”
Guo Chengsi frowned tightly and said categorically: "No, staying here for one more day will be more dangerous, you must go back to Chang'an with Zhu Fei immediately." (To be continued.) )
