Chapter 257: Enter the village to take the pulse
"You didn't listen to what you just said on the road?" Meng Qiang said that he had just explained the situation on the road, and the old man's expression was obviously not listened to.
"Ah, forgot, I've been thinking about how to pour snake blood into my apprentice, I didn't pay attention to what you said", the old man said embarrassedly
"Okay, you really only have your apprentice in your eyes," Meng Qiang said
"There are 17 smallpox patients in the village here, and they are already well, and the last medicine has not been boiled," Xing Rui said
"Smallpox? This is not in the way, he fell, his master is still there", Old Man Li walked to the medicine jar and smelled the medicine residue, the familiar smell should be the few flavors of medicine he prepared.
Old man Li quickly prepared the medicine and skillfully turned over the medicine jar. Mix the medicine with water, and the scalding can is done in one go!
"Sure enough, it is a master's demeanor, his hands and feet are nimble, and he can do it in one go", Xing Rui admired it with his eyes.
"Nonsense, I've been doing this all my life, can this little pediatrics stump me?" Old man Li said disdainfully
"Where's the patient? Take me to see it," asked Old Man Li
"The patient was in the village, and we didn't see him," Xing Rui said
"What's the matter, prescribing medicine when you don't see a patient?" The old man asked with a frown
"When I saw one, Brother Kong looked at the symptoms carefully and determined that it was smallpox, and the graves over there were all from that village, and they all died of the same disease," Xing Rui said
"Oh, I thought this kid would prescribe medicine without seeing any symptoms, if that's the case, the old man will have to move the family rules," said the old man Li
Doctors do not prescribe medicine if they do not see symptoms, this is the basic principle of practicing medicine, and no patience can be violated. If you don't care about it and don't take the pulse, you will prescribe a prescription, which is harming people.
"Brother Kong read it, and he also listened carefully to the other party's symptoms before prescribing the medicine," Meng Qiang said
"The patient isn't here?" Old man Li asked
"The patient was in the village, and the disease was contagious, so we didn't get close," Xing Rui said
"Smallpox alone scares you like this?" Old man Li said that although smallpox is powerful, as long as it is well protected, nothing will happen at all.
"I'm not married yet," Meng Qiang said embarrassedly
"Look at your appearance", Old Man Li pointed at Meng Qiang and said, but he seems to be a bachelor, and he is still an old child.
"What are you doing here? Is the medicine boiled at night?", Zeng Ershui ran over panting.
"Who is this old man?" Zeng Ershui pointed at Old Man Li and asked
"Who is this silly boy?" Old man Li pointed at Zeng Ershui and asked
"This kid was the first smallpox patient that Brother Kong came into contact with," Xing Rui said
"This kid is cured?" Old man Li asked
"This kid has been healed for a long time, and he has been delivering medicine and food to the seventeen people in the village all this time," Xing Rui said
"You kid is not a little lucky, you met my stupid apprentice," said Old Man Li
"Brother Kong is your apprentice?" Zeng Ershui couldn't believe it, Brother Kong's master was a white-haired old man.
"What's wrong? Do you have an opinion? The old man pouted
"No, no, it's very good," Zeng Ershui said with a smile
"Today Lao Tzu will accompany you into the village," said Old Man Li, rubbing his beard
"You want to enter the village? Forget it, if you are infected with smallpox and die, I will feel very sorry for Brother Kong," Zeng Ershui said
"You kid looks down on the old man," said Old Man Li with a glare
"It's not to be underestimated, the smallpox plague in our village hasn't been lifted yet, and they're not all well, so it's dangerous for you to go in," Zeng Ershui said
"You kid don't have to worry about Lao Tzu, the smallpox formula is still my recipe, there is no problem, don't worry", Old Man Li said
I haven't seen a real case of smallpox with my own eyes, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I can take the opportunity to observe it carefully and improve my prescription.
"Okay, then you pay attention", Zeng Ershui said helplessly
The old man took out a white cloth to wrap his mouth and nose, and took out a pair of snakeskin gloves, and followed Zeng Ershui into the village.
"When did you get smallpox?" asked the old man
"About a month ago, this disease was so turbulent that before everyone could figure out what was going on, a lot of people died," Zeng Ershui said
"Smallpox is a virulent infectious disease, and if it is not locked up and treated in time, it will spread very badly," said the old man Li
"Yes, in less than a month, there are only a dozen people left in the village who have died," Zeng Ershui said sadly
"Then thank you to my apprentice, without him, you dozen people would not be able to survive," said Old Man Li
"You're right, when I went into the village to deliver medicine, they were all dying, thanks to Brother Kong," Zeng Ershui said
The two unconsciously walked into the village, which was full of broken walls and a depressed scene.
"Is there anyone else here?" Old man Li covered his mouth and said
"Someone? There are too many people who died in this village, and everything that could be dismantled was dismantled and used as a coffin," Zeng Ershui said
"Well, that's too miserable," said Old Man Li
"Didn't Lang Zhong come to see it before?" Old man Li asked
"Yes, a few people came over and took a look, but no one was there, and one was left, but it was also infected with smallpox and died," Zeng Ershui said
"The one that stayed is good, and it has a bit of medical ethics," said the old man Li
"Xiuqin, Xiaohua got up and drank the medicine," Zeng Ershui said
"Brother Ershui", Xiaohua heard Ershui's voice and immediately ran out.
As soon as he saw a white-haired old man beside Ershui, he immediately hid in the house again.
"What's wrong, Xiaohua? Why are you back? Xiuqin said
Xiaohua pointed to the white-haired old man beside Ershui and said
"Brother Ershui has someone around him"
"Old gentleman, you better stay away from us, we are not well, we don't want to hurt anyone", Xiuqin said as she hid in the house
"You should come out, a little smallpox can't bother me", Old Man Li said lightly
"Xiuqin, come out, it's okay, he's Brother Kong's master," Zeng Ershui said
"We are afraid of infecting him, Brother Kong is our benefactor, and we can't harm the benefactor's master," Xiuqin said
"It's all a group of kind people", Old Man Li finished speaking and walked straight into the small courtyard where Xiuqin and Xiaohua were hiding.
"Old man ......," Xiuqin said
"Don't worry, I've done a good job of protection, you won't infect me", Old Man Li said lightly
"Really? ......", Xiuqin asked cautiously
"Little girl's wrist stretched out," said Old Man Li, pointing to Xiaohua's arm
"Xiaohua don't be afraid to come over, this is Master Kong, he is very good, don't be afraid", Zeng Ershui said
Xiaohua cautiously walked over, sat opposite Old Man Li, and stretched out her arm.
Old man Li put his hand on Xiaohua's pulse and concentrated on the pulse.
"Smallpox has faded, but it has caused a lot of damage to your body, and you need to take good care of it in the future," Old Man Li said lightly
