Chapter 5: The Inn Sleeps Alone
The acupuncture pain reduction just now had made the young woman full of confidence in Du Wenhao, and she hurriedly said: "Let the doctor treat the child!" ”
The child's mother said so, and of course the second daughter had no opinion. Xue Fei'er hurriedly ran to prepare, for fear that it would not be good, so she simply brought the stove here, brought a basin of water on the stove, and put a knife, gauze and new chopsticks in it to cook.
After cooking, Du Wenhao washed his hands and disinfected with a mixture of Sophora radix and other medicinal materials, wiped the affected area again with a cotton ball of medicinal solution, picked up a knife that had been sterilized at high temperature, cut the abscess with a sharp blade, flipped the knife upward, picked it from the inside to the outside, excluded the pus, used chopsticks to reach into the abscess cavity, separated the intervals, and then used chopsticks to guide it, and used a knife to extend the incision to both ends until the edge, and completely cut the abscess. Then, rinse the wound cavity with a mixture of disinfectant dipped in cotton wool dipped in rhubarb and other medicinal materials.
After cleaning the abscess cavity, use chopsticks to clip gauze to soak Coptis chinensis and Nux nux mixed with anti-inflammatory liquid, one end is sent into the abscess cavity, the other end is left outside the abscess cavity, the drainage strip is buried, and finally the clean gauze pad that has been steamed in a steamer is placed on it, and the outside is wrapped and fixed with a triangular scarf bandage.
After the operation was completed, Du Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, don't let the wound touch the water, keep it clean." Wait a while, I'll prescribe a decoction for the child to take, anti-inflammatory...... This, prevents the wound from suppurating again. ”
He saw that the second daughter was surprised by the word anti-inflammatory, so he changed his words and changed his explanation. Remind yourself in your heart that this is ancient, and you can't come up with modern words, lest you be shocked.
Due to the use of gold needles to reduce the pain, although the child cried during the operation, but not as heartbroken as before, the operation was completed, the child seemed to know, the little face showed a smile, grinning and revealing two small white teeth that had just emerged, very cute.
Du Wenhao is still a little worried about this simple operation, after all, the medicine is improvised, the knife and gauze have not been strictly disinfected, I don't know if the wound will be infected, fortunately, the abscess is only in the superficial skin layer, the problem is not big, if it is a deep skin abscess, or key parts such as the skull, or even open cavity surgery, then such a simple surgical condition, I am afraid that there will be problems.
Lin Qingdai and Xue Fei'er couldn't help but smile when they saw the child smiling, and looked at Du Wenhao approvingly. The child's mother was even more tearful, thanking the three of them vigorously.
Xue Fei'er smiled at Du Wenhao and said, "I can't see it, you really have two strokes as a bell doctor." That's it, right? ”
"It's basically no problem, I need to change the drain ...... tomorrow afternoon, ah no, change the dressing. Look at the healing of the wound again, re-bandage the wound, and if there is no suppuration, then it will do. ”
"Okay, then tomorrow I have to trouble the doctor to change the child's dressing. Haven't asked the doctor for your last name? ”
"My name is Du Wenhao."
"Oh, my name is Xue Fei'er, this inn is opened by my father, this is Lin Qingdai Lin of 'Wuweitang', and she is my good sister."
Although Du Wenhao has only traveled to the Song Dynasty for one day, he has gained a lot of knowledge from various media in the modern society film and television novel magazine network, and the etiquette of the ancients is also known, plus yesterday's observation, he quickly learned the basic etiquette of the Song Dynasty, and learned to arch his hand and said: "I have seen two girls." ”
Xue Fei'er said with a smile: "It's okay to call me a girl, but it's okay to call her, Sister Lin is a little daughter-in-law, not a girl!" Her man...... Passed away two years ago, you can't scream. ”
Du Wenhao was stunned, it turned out that this Lin Qingdai was a little widow, widowed at a young age, but she had to bear it, her heart was full of sympathy, and she arched her hand and said: "I'm sorry, it's really rude, I've seen Madame!" Please forgive Madame for the reckless sin just now! ”
Lin Qingdai also bowed, and her expression was a little gloomy: "Mr. is serious, the concubine is a widow's wife, please call me by my name or the shopkeeper." ”
"This ......, yes! Shopkeeper Lin! ”
Xue Fei'er asked, "Du Langzhong, where do you live?" ”
Du Langzhong? - How does it sound like "Tulangzhong"? Du Wenhao smiled bitterly in his heart, he called himself a bell doctor, isn't that just a local man, and sighed: "I walk the rivers and lakes, the four seas are my home, and now the pills and plasters that practice medicine, the guys who eat have been robbed, and they are penniless, and it seems that they can only sleep on the streets." ”
Xue Fei'er nodded, thought for a while, and said, "That's it, if you don't dislike it, stay overnight at my father's inn, and you will have to change the child's medicine tomorrow." I'll find you a few patients to see the disease, earn some capital, and then buy some bell medicinal materials from Sister Lin at cost price to make pills and plasters, re-establish your outfit, and then be your You Fang Langzhong, how about it? ”
Du Wenhao said that he was a bell doctor, but he said casually that he didn't want to drift around the world, but this little girl could find a few patients for herself and make some money, which was a good idea. At the beginning, he also made a cameo appearance as a doctor in his uncle's pharmacy clinic, and his general illness could not bother him, so he immediately learned from the Song Dynasty, bowed his hand ninety degrees, and bowed deeply: "Thank you girl!" ”
"Well said! But these people don't have much money to pay you, so don't be too little when the time comes. ”
"Where, the girl said and laughed, Doctor Ling practiced medicine, and the diagnosis fee was happy, how could it be too little."
"That's good, let's prescribe medicine and get medicine."
Du Wenhao wrote an anti-inflammatory prescription for Lin Qingdai, and went back to take the medicine for the child according to the prescription.
After Lin Qingdai left, Xue Fei'er found a simple single room in the bungalow for Du Wenhao to use for his medical treatment and accommodation.
Previously, Du Wenhao operated on the child to drain the water, and the patients in the shop were not only asleep to see the excitement, but also felt very novel about this Langzhong surgery, and word of mouth, especially Xue Fei'er's propaganda and agitation everywhere, and the story of Du Wenhao's Gao Feng Liang Festival who returned to the poor children without charging money for medical treatment attracted the audience's admiration, so not only some peddlers and pawns with minor illnesses who lived in the shop came to him to see the disease, but even the merchants who lived in the upper room with a little money also came to him to see the disease.
These diseases are mainly common diseases such as colds and flu, diarrhea, boils and carbuncles, which Du Wenhao has treated in his uncle's pharmacy before, and he can deal with syndrome differentiation and treatment freely.
It's that his calligraphy is not very good, he has never practiced, he holds the pen like a knife, crooked, uneven, and has to write in traditional Chinese, it doesn't take much time to see a doctor, but it takes a lot of effort to write a prescription, and he finishes writing a prescription in Xue Fei'er's mocking eyes, making him sweat profusely. I thought to myself, if I want to mix in the Song Dynasty, I have to find time to practice calligraphy well.
Xue Fei'er helped find the patient, and when he prescribed the medicine, she helped take it to the opposite Wuweitang to get the medicine for the patient. The two of them worked until late at night before they finished reading the last patient.
Du Wenhao counted the consultation fees for this night, most of these people who came to him to see a doctor were poor peddlers and pawns who were reluctant to spend money, and the consultation fees were given casually, at most two or three yuan each, and a few who couldn't get the money, so it only added up to about 20 yuan, which was equivalent to more than 20 yuan, but it was enough for tomorrow's meal, which was a small gain.
(Note: The numismatic system of the Song Dynasty was extremely chaotic, and the records were full of contradictions.) In terms of conversion rate, according to the basic parameter of rice price, 1 tael of silver in the Song Dynasty was worth about 600 yuan to 1,300 yuan. For the sake of convenience in narration and understanding, the exchange formula is determined as follows: 1,000 copper coins = 1 guan = 10 hangs = 1 tael of silver = 0.1 tael of gold = 1,000 yuan. One penny is equivalent to one yuan. )
Xue Fei'er was about to say goodbye and leave, but Du Wenhao hurriedly said: "Snow girl! ”
Xue Fei'er turned to look at him: "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Well, I'm ......, I'm hungry and haven't eaten for a day. I don't know if there's anything else to eat in the store? ”
"Huh? Why didn't you say it earlier, it's going to be three watches, and the chef has already fallen asleep. ”
"I've been busy seeing a doctor just now, and I can't let the patient wait, so I eat first. You can eat whatever you want, just fill your stomach. ”
Xue Fei'er's father's inn mainly provides accommodation, although there is also a canteen, but it is mainly not a food and drink, so there are not many meals left, and he said: "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." You wait. ”
Xue Fei'er hurriedly went out, and after a while, she came back with two hard dried steamed buns and a stack of pickles: "I'm really sorry, this is the only one left." ”
Du Wenhao was already hungry at the moment, and when he saw these two dried steamed buns, his eyes were hotter than when he saw shark fin lobsters, so he hurriedly took them: "It's okay!" That's it! "I put it in my mouth and bit it hard, and I almost lost my tooth with a crunch.
Xue Fei'er pursed her lips and smiled: "The cold steamed bun is too hard, so you have to soak it in water and eat it." ”
Most of the people staying in this inn are pawns who don't have much money, and the price is too high for others to afford, so the noodles used for this steamed bun are also the lowest-grade black noodles, which are as hard as stones when they are cold. Du Wenhao hurriedly broke it and put it into the bowl, poured water, soaked it softly, and then he chewed it in his mouth, chewed a few bites, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that this side was a little worse, eating it in his mouth was like chewing a lump, but he hadn't eaten for a day, so he poured the small plate of pickles into the bowl and devoured it into his mouth.
Xue Fei'er snorted and laughed: "Look at you like this! I guess I'm really hungry. Eat slowly, no one will rob you. ”
Du Wenhao couldn't answer, divided five by two, and ate a bowl of soaked steamed buns cleanly. wiped his mouth and touched his stomach, and then smiled embarrassedly.
Xue Fei'er also smiled and glanced at him: "Hurry up and sleep, I'm leaving!" ”
Du Wenhao thanked him again and again and sent Xue Fei'er out of the door.
After Xue Fei'er left, Du Wenhao closed the leaky door, spread out the futon that exuded a faint musty smell, took off the moon-white coarse cloth robe, blew out the oil lamp, and lay on the bed.
This is the first night of the Song Dynasty, the first pot of gold earned is only enough for a day's meal, not only depressed, think about their ten years of cold window, now there is no reason to travel to the Song Dynasty, become a wandering Langzhong, poor Baba lying in this dilapidated small wooden house, covered with a musty quilt, gnawing on the cold steamed bun that can be used as a hammer, if the parents knew that they were reluctant to send their son to the grassroots to suffer, now this look, may be distressed what it looks like, can't help but feel sad from it, and his nose is a little sour.
However, he was not a sentimental person, and he sniffed, turned over, and turned his attention away from the new things he had seen in ancient times today.
Thinking about it, thinking of the outstanding and resolute female shopkeeper Lin Qingdai, and thinking of the lively, lovely and sympathetic Xue Fei'er, the two women are so beautiful and very good to themselves, and I feel a trace of warmth in my heart. After a tired day, thinking about it, I fell asleep groggily.
