Chapter 13 Treatment (3)
When Chen Yi walked on this unknown town again, the alleys of the town were dilapidated and quaint, covered with moss, and the courtyard walls near the courtyards of civilians were close to the east, because they were about to enter the east, and some of the courtyard walls were covered with dense vines that had dried up and unknown, which looked very desolate.
The mottled walls have left the mark of year after year, and the people of the small town are hurrying to do their own things, and in the ancient era when there was no entertainment culture, people have long been accustomed to sunrise and sunset.
Chen Yi and Shui Sheng walked slowly in the town, Chen Yi saw Zhang Butcher, who had bought meat not far away, was skillfully cutting pork with a knife, and the surrounding buyers were pointing, saying something in their mouths, and it was estimated that they would ask for meat again.
Shui Sheng silently followed Chen Yi all the way, and suddenly Chen Yi stopped on the side of the street, looked at the pavement paved with stone slabs under his feet, and suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know if there was a blacksmith shop in this town.
Shui Sheng looked at Chen Yi who stopped curiously, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Brother Chen Yi, why don't you leave?" ”
"I just remembered to go to the blacksmith and order something." In fact, I couldn't find a blacksmith shop, and it took me a long time to remember that there was no one around me who could be a guide.
"Brother Chenyi, I'll take you there, there is a blacksmith shop in the whole town, in the innermost part of the alley in the north."
"Okay, then let's go quickly, and we'll have to meet up with the dog later."
Walk through the alley, along the road in the alley all the way forward, when you are about to reach the end of the alley, Chen Yi heard a banging sound in the distance, very rhythmic, finally almost arrived, outside the shop, there is a long log on the ground, the wood has been weathered for a long time, absorbing rain and moisture in the air for a long time, the surface has been rotten, there is a banner hanging at the top of the wood, the word blacksmith is written on the banner, Chen Yi walked into the shop to see, a heat wave rushed in, and a large stove was placed in the middle of the house, that is, the oven. A bellows is set by the hearth, and the bellows is pulled, and the wind enters the furnace, and the flames in the furnace jump straight. Behind the shop, there are some finished items, most of them are farm tools, few weapons, which is also related to the system of the imperial court, there are three people in it are busy doing things, one is sitting next to the bellows and pulling the bellows hard, and the other is holding a hammer and constantly beating the iron.
A man dressed in linen, bronzed skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his face looked rough, he had a thick beard, and a long gray strip around his neck, which was probably used to wipe sweat, and it was estimated that he was a master in the blacksmith shop. ”
"Master, I want to order something from you." After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and the blacksmith took it, opened it, and looked at the items depicted inside, some of which were made by themselves, and some of which were not, and said:
"This guest officer, there are a few items on the drawings that I don't have, and they need to be smelted from the new, or you can come and pick them up at noon tomorrow."
When Chen Yi heard this, he thought to himself that this is not good, these things may have to be used this afternoon, and when the daylilies are cold tomorrow, he hurriedly spoke: "Master, I have urgent use of these things, and it is a major matter of human life, do you see if this will work, I, can you get out as quickly as possible." ”
"It's okay to rush, but I promised the customer a few irons in front of me, and I will hand them over to the customer tomorrow morning, if this will be done for you, take other people's things, I can only work overtime at night, you see......" The blacksmith looked at Chen Yi in embarrassment.
When Chen Yi heard this, he understood the meaning of the master, and obviously he was going to have some extra silver taels, he was really an old fox.
"Master, let's do it, on top of the original price, I am giving you an extra piece of silver for your hard work in making items." When the blacksmith heard this, his heart was overjoyed, he made a lot of money, this time he really made a lot of money, he didn't expect this little brother to be so rich, this tael of silver is a pure profit, and it is almost his hard-earned money in four months. Before the Yuan Dynasty, each bucket of rice was three to four cents, and the Yuan Dynasty where Chen Yi was located, because it was a good year, each bucket of rice was only sold for two cents, and if a bucket of rice was sold for five cents, one or two pieces of silver could be bought for twenty stones. (One tael of silver = 1000 copper coins, one stone of rice = ten buckets of rice)
"How embarrassing is this guest officer? I'm really sorry, you're so polite, you can give me a total of 1 tael of silver, 30 copper plates. The blacksmith bent over, rubbing his hands against each other, and said to Chen Yi with a flattering smile, how obscene and obscene he was, and he didn't have the tall and mighty temperament of the blacksmith at all. Chen Yi thought to himself that if this was on the earth he lived on, he would definitely be a lewd uncle. 、
"Master, do you collect the money? When will I pick up something? Chen Yi took the silver from his cuff and handed it to the blacksmith.
"A quarter of an hour at most, and then you can come to the blacksmith to get it." The craftsman hurriedly stretched out his hands, the speed of his hands was completely unspeakable, he turned around and hurriedly put the silver in his arms, for fear that Chen Yi would regret it, put the rest of the copper plate in the money bag, and gave the drawings to his apprentices, so that they could quickly smelt the iron tools that Chen Yi needed according to the requirements on the paper.
At this time, Goudan and his party came to the only pharmacy in the town, parked the ox cart at the door of the pharmacy, and Shui Sheng Dad carried the patient from the ox cart to the pharmacy with the help of several people. There is a medical signboard hanging on the door, the signboard is a fish-shaped guise carved from stone or wood, and the door hangs a double fish with the meaning of Taiji Yin and Yang fish, and the fish harmonizes with the meaning of "healing"; Fish always keep their eyes open day and night, and hanging the fish charm also means that pharmacies are there for patients day and night
As soon as you enter the pharmacy, you will be greeted by a row of wide counters, in the shape of a line or a curved ruler, dividing the hall into two parts: the inside and outside. Inside the counter is the area where the pharmacy staff can move, and outside the counter is the area where customers can move to grab medicines. Two long wooden benches are placed on either side of the counter for the patient to rest.
Behind the cabinet is a cabinet of 100 eyes. The most conspicuous display in the counter of the pharmacy is the medicine cabinet containing Chinese herbal decoction pieces. This kind of cabinet is called "hundred-eye cabinet". The hundred-eyed cabinet is composed of many small drawers, each drawer is divided into several compartments, storing different Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and the name of the Chinese medicine stored in the front of the drawer is marked, and a hundred-eyed cabinet can store hundreds of Chinese medicines. There are also certain rules for the storage of Chinese medicine in the hundred-eyed cabinet, and the clerk of the pharmacy only needs to grab the medicine in the corresponding drawer according to the doctor's prescription, which is very convenient. There is a mill on the outside of the cupboard in the drugstore. One of the tools used in traditional Chinese medicine for grinding medicine consists of an iron grinding trough and a grinding disc like a wheel.
There is a medicine drum on the left side of the cabinet. Its shape is composed of a drum body and a slender drum shaft, which is mainly used to blow into the throat powder, rely on the elastic force of the reed to drum out the air, and blow the powder into the affected part, which is a laryngeal drug delivery device.
On the right side of the cabinet is a slot. A small rod scale, known as a scale, is a precision scale used to weigh gold, silver, precious medicines and spices in the old days. Between 1004~1007 A.D., Liu Chengsi, an official in charge of the royal tribute treasury of the Song Dynasty, created and invented the first scale in China, due to the weighing of medicinal materials
At this time, Shui Sheng hurriedly ran in and shouted anxiously: "Doctor, doctor, save my father." ”
The patient in the pharmacy looked curiously at the boy who was talking, and then the doctor came out of the counter and just happened to see the aquatic father walking in with the patient on his back. When he walked in, he saw that the patient was unconscious, and hurriedly ordered:
"Hurry up and lift the patient to the stool and I'll take a look at ......"
Goudan looked at the doctor who took his father's pulse again, and was very anxious, and wanted to ask about his father's situation, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
After checking the pulse, the doctor opened the placket on the dog's father's chest and saw that the wound was already a little infected, but fortunately, the problem was not too serious. After reading it, he glanced back and saw that there were many tattered places on his back, so he asked the aquatic people to turn the patient on their backs, and slowly unbuttoned the clothes in front of him, and slowly took off the clothes from the back.
I saw that there were two wounds on the back, the area was very large, I saw that I should have been injured by wild objects, I carefully observed the wound, the wound has been inflamed and swollen, and there are already pus in some places.
In ancient times, unlike now, there was anti-inflammatory, heavy bleeding could be transfused. In ancient times, it can almost be said that you can only listen to the fate of God, and it depends on whether God can come to make you come back to life.
Goudan looked at the doctor with his brows furrowed, his psychological feeling became heavier and heavier, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously in his heart, summoning up the last trace of courage and asking the doctor in a pleading tone.
"Doctor, how is my father?"
"Hey, the old man is not too sure, your father has been in a severe coma due to excessive blood loss and wound inflammation, and it is difficult to treat, so I can only listen to the fate of God, see if God will let your father survive, hey!" After listening to the doctor's words, the dog only felt that the world was spinning, if it weren't for the quick eyes of the aquatic father, I am afraid that he would have been sitting on the ground.
"Doctor, how sure are you that you can cure the child's father?" The aquatic father said to the doctor.
"The old man is at most one percent, and this is already the old man's best efforts." After hearing this, the aquatic father looked at the unconscious cousin, brother, do you want your child to go? How can you live if you go to the family?
When the dog heard Yicheng, he suddenly remembered what Chen Yi had told him, and laughed, tears kept flowing out, and he kept saying while laughing: "Yes, yes, my dad is saved, my dad is saved." "Reached into the clothes on his chest and looked for something.
The rest of the people in the pharmacy thought that the dog was crazy because of the blow.
(Here, Xiao Mo will give book friends a science popularization of historical celebrities who have made outstanding contributions to medicine in the history of our Chinese nation.)
The ancestor of acupuncture: the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor is the legendary co-leader of all the ethnic groups in the Central Plains. The existing "Neijing" is a work on the discussion of medicine with the Yellow Emperor and Qi Bo and Lei Gong. Acupuncture is often used in the treatment of this book, so the description and discussion of acupuncture are also particularly detailed. The records of Yu acupoints, stabbing shuts, and stabbing prohibitions are more detailed.
Advocate of pulse science: Bian Que. Bian Que is good at using the four diagnoses, especially pulse diagnosis and visual diagnosis, to diagnose diseases. It can be said that Bian Que laid the foundation of traditional medical diagnosis. He spent his life conscientiously summing up the experience of his predecessors and the people, combined with his own medical practice, and made outstanding contributions to medicine in diagnosis, pathology, and treatment. Bian Que's medical experience occupies an important position in the history of medicine in China. Therefore, the medical community has always respected Bian Que as the ancestor of ancient Chinese medicine, saying that he is "the saint of Chinese medicine" and "the founder of ancient medicine." Fan Wenlan called him "the first person to sum up experience" in the "Compendium of the General History of China".
The ancestor of surgery: Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo Jing is in the departments of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and acupuncture, and is particularly good at surgery. "The Biography of Hua Tuo in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty" said that he "knew the art of cultivating sex and knew the art of cultivation", especially "proficient in prescription medicine". People called him the "miracle doctor". He once compiled his rich medical experience into a medical work, called "The Green Capsule Sutra", but unfortunately it was not handed down.
The ancestor of pediatrics: Qian Yi. Qian Yi's "Pediatric Drug Certificate Straight Formula" is the first existing pediatric monograph in China. For the first time, it systematically summarized the syndrome differentiation and treatment of children, so that pediatrics has since developed into an independent discipline. Later generations regarded it as a classic work of pediatrics, and called Qian Yizun "the saint of pediatrics" and "the originator of pediatrics". The "Synopsis of the Catalogue of the Four Libraries" said that "if you get the introduction, you often have the merit of rejuvenation".
The ancestor of forensic medicine: Song Ci. Song Ci was an outstanding forensic scientist in ancient China, known as the "father of forensic science", who summarized the experience of forensic medicine before the Song Dynasty and the experience of his own four judges, and wrote the "Collection of Records of Clearing Grievances", which is the world's earliest forensic medical work. It is generally believed in the West that it was Song Ci who pioneered "forensic identification" in 1235 AD. )
