476. Needle application
Xu Xiaole finally got on the ship safely and began the bumpy journey to Leizhou. He had expected that life on the ship would be very boring, but who knew that there were many passengers like him on this ship. Most of them are the children of merchants who escort ships, although they are just the sons and nephews of the owner's family, doing some errands, but their living expenses are far beyond ordinary people.
Xu Xiaole has seen the pomp and circumstance of the eunuchs and princes, and his purse is also bulging, and he will not be short of money. Therefore, I don't think there is anything wrong with these people, but it is just that the businessmen in Fujian Province are so rich.
After all, the days at sea are still boring, and the cabins are pitifully small. On this day, Xu Xiaole practiced the guidance technique in the gap of the cabin, wiping his body with a dry cotton towel while talking to Pippi. Pippi's temper has grown stronger these days, and he is clearly very resistant to sailing. Xiao Le added fifty taels of silver to the ship's boss, so that Pipsqueak could move around in the cabin, and he would not be caught by those fierce sailors to peel the skin and bones and make soup - these lucky guys really eat everything!
"Doctor Xu! But I found you, I dare to ask you to move around, and look at my young master. An old man rushed into the cabin and interrupted Xu Xiaole and Pippi chatting.
Xu Xiaole and Pippi turned their heads at the same time, so frightened that the old man almost fell.
Xu Xiaole said, "What's wrong with Sun Gongzi?" "Get dressed as you talk. He drank wine twice with that grandson and ate other people's good food and wine, since they were sick, of course he was responsible.
The old man said with a bitter face: "I was fine yesterday evening, but I suddenly coughed early this morning." Cough now, it's not up anymore. He thought that the boat was bumpy and windy, the living environment was thousands of times worse at home, and the young master was weak, if he couldn't resist it, how could this be good? All the expectations fell on Xu Xiaole, the doctor.
Xu Xiaole was quite low-key after getting on the boat. How can your true identity be publicized everywhere? Therefore, he only said that he was a man of the same way, and he went to Leizhou to increase his knowledge. As for things like the main department and the Tai Hospital, it is absolutely impossible to mention a word. It was Sun Gongzi and the servants who knew that Xu Xiaole was a doctor, but they didn't know that he was such a good doctor, and they only came to him when they couldn't bear it, and they also rushed to the doctor when they were sick.
Xu Xiaole was not hypocritical, and after getting dressed, he went to Sun Gongzi's cabin with the old mangtou.
Sun Gongzi is the descendant and nephew of a large Fujian merchant family, and he may rely on this trade route to eat in the future. He didn't expect that his life had just set sail when he suddenly fell ill and was about to die on this ship, and he couldn't help but feel sad from it, and there was another cough, which was heartbreaking.
Hearing Xu Xiaole come in, Sun Gongzi reluctantly sat up.
Xu Xiaole stepped forward and pressed Sun Gongzi: "Brother Sun just lie down." He rubbed his hands and fingertips, and was about to put his hand under the quilt to check his pulse, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside. In response to the call was another old servant of the Sun family, with a strong man.
The strong man was dressed in a strong suit, and his face was handsome, but he was getting older, about forty or so, the so-called "old white face".
The old servant said, "I invited this Dong Zhuang to treat the young master's illness." ”
Xu Xiaole's hands stiffened, stood up and said, "This matter...... Who's coming? ”
The old man who invited Xu Xiaole was not as high as the old servant, and he didn't dare to speak with a red face at this time.
Sun Gongzi tilted his head slightly, coughed twice, and then said, "Thank you Brother Dong for your help." Isn't Brother Dong good at swords and shields......" said with a violent cough.
That Dong Zhuang said: "Dong Mou wandered the rivers and lakes, and it was true that he stood up with a sword and shield. However, when he was a teenager, he was taught acupuncture by his parents, and he never relaxed. The day before yesterday, thanks to Sun Gongzi's wine and food, since he heard that his son was in trouble, how could he stand by and watch? He glanced at Xu Xiaole, full of distrust for such a young man. But in the end, it is the old rivers and lakes, and he is still very polite to speak.
He said: "Doctor Xu, Dong has heard that you have good medical skills, but on this vast sea, how can there be medicinal materials to treat you?" Let's let Dong come. ”
When Xu Xiaole heard it, it did make sense. He is a doctor of Dafangke, and he is considered to have the highest status in the medical ecosystem. But there is also a problem, if the medicine is not dispensed, what can I do if the medical skills are high? Is it possible to talk to the patient about medical science, and the disease will be cured?
Although the sea ship is large, every inch of space is precious, so naturally it will not bring all kinds of medicines, at most it is just a medicine for common diseases. However, Sun Gongzi's illness this time was not a common disease, and those medicines had no effect.
Xu Xiaole had no choice but to get up and get out of the way.
Dong Zhuangshi stepped forward, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and gently unfolded it, there was a cotton pad inside, and more than a dozen needles of various sizes were inserted vertically. There are long and short, thick and thin, gold, silver, copper and iron, and even the tips of needles are made into various shapes, but they are complete.
Xu Xiaole glanced at it and saw that this was a complete set of nine needles. In terms of the quality of the needle, it is not inferior to those commonly used by the old doctors in the acupuncture department of Tai Hospital. It seems that this Dong Zhuangshi said that he passed on the acupuncture method in his family, not a lie.
Xu Xiaole's past few months of travel in the rivers and lakes, the competitive spirit has faded a lot, and when he saw that Dong Zhuangshi really had a few brushes, he took two steps back and watched him apply needles.
As the so-called connoisseur will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move.
Dong Zhuangshi took two milli needles, put them in his mouth, lifted Sun Gongzi's quilt, untied his clothes, twisted a needle, and pierced directly from the suprasternal fossa under the Adam's apple - Tiantu acupoint. This place is also considered a vital point, and suddenly I saw someone with a needle and stabbed it in, and the two old servants were too frightened to speak.
Sun Gongzi was also a little frightened, and his body tightened.
"Does it hurt?" Although Dong Zhuangshi was born tall and big, he spoke very kindly.
Sun Gongzi didn't dare to shake his head, but just tried to suppress his throat and said, "It doesn't hurt...... I don't feel anything. ”
Xu Xiaole bowed slightly, this strong man's technique of entering the needle is clever, it looks like he put it in, this must be the feeling that has been practiced for many years.
Dong Zhuangshi twisted another needle in his hand, took the Zhongfu acupoint under the collarbone, calmed his breath, and stabbed it seemingly casually. Then he took the needle from the needle bag and continued to administer the needle, saying, "This is a small problem, it will be solved soon." ”
Acupuncture doctors are not as respected as Dafang doctors, but how can Xiaole be that kind of layman? As long as it can cure the disease, he doesn't even mind massage, let alone acupuncture. Seeing that this Dong Zhuangshi went down with two or three needles, Sun Gongzi stopped coughing, and he naturally wanted to explore the mystery.
"People say that acupuncture is a shortcut to medicine, and the results are fast." Xu Xiaole was amazed.
Dong Zhuangshi said while inserting the needle: "You get out of the way, don't touch the needle." ”
Xu Xiaole was already next to Dong Zhuangshi, and he didn't mind and said: "The so-called 'hot is sick, cold is left, prosperity is poured, and deficiency is made up' should be said." ”
Dong Zhuangshi saw that Xu Xiaole could quote the original text of the Neijing, and knew that this was not a walking man who could only memorize two prescriptions, his face was much gentler, and he said: "It's not prosperous, it's not false, take it from the scriptures." ”
Xu Xiaole said: "Oh, no wonder they are all taken from the lung meridians. ”
Dong Zhuangshi looked sideways: "Have you read the "Needle Sutra"? ”
""Lingshu" and "Su Wen" are the source of a hundred doctors, so you can't read them." Xu Xiaole said: "The "Meridians" is the root of the dialectic according to the scriptures, and you can't be familiar with it. ”
Dong Zhuangshi finished administering the needle and said, "That's nature." It's a pity that my family's "Needle Sutra" is incomplete. ”
Xu Xiaole was curiously using the palm of his hand to induce the tail of the needle. Dong Zhuangshi was about to stop Xu Xiaole, when he heard Xu Xiaole say: "What is missing?" I'll copy it to you. ”
Dong Zhuangshi's hand hung in the air and did not touch Xu Xiaole.
Xu Xiaole said: "I can memorize it, go back and tell me which articles are missing, and I will write it to you silently." "The Needle Sutra" and "Lingshu" are the same book and have different names, Xu Xiaole can naturally memorize them.
Dong Zhuangshi will be suspicious: "The Han family's "Needle Sutra" to "Jingshui" only has a title. ”
Xu Xiaole was stunned: "Then your family doesn't have much to say." He regretted a little that he agreed to help Dong Zhuangshi complete the "Lingshu". There are eighty-one articles in the whole book of "Lingshu", and the twelfth chapter of "Jingshui Chapter" is the twelfth chapter, and there are more than 60 articles in the back.
Dong Zhuangshi has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has seen too much bragging. He said: "I often look at the title of "Jingshui" and want to know what it says...... This is to weigh Xu Xiaole's catties and taels to see if there is something in his stomach or a big talk.
