Doctor Ling is a person who walks the streets and alleys to practice medicine in the rivers and lakes, carrying a medicine box, carrying a plaster flag, waving a small bell.

Xue Fei'er looked Du Wenhao up and down: "You are Doctor Ling?" So how do you go empty-handed? ”

Du Wenhao smiled awkwardly: "I...... I met thieves on the road and robbed me of all the food guys. ”

"Really? Will you really cure boils? ”

"We'll know if I'll try it."

Xue Fei'er pouted: "Try your hands and feet with other people's children?" You're very generous! ”

"No, no, the girl misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I mean, as soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, there is only nothing, and if he doesn't give me a chance to stretch out his hand, how do you know that I can't cure it."

Xue Fei'er saw that he looked like he was in his chest, so she didn't dare to underestimate it, and slowed down her expression: "Then how much consultation money do you want?" The ugly words are said in the front, the mother and daughter are poor and have no money. ”

Du Wenhao glanced at Lin Qingdai in the lobby, coughed lightly, and said loudly: "Don't worry!" Miss, it is my duty as a doctor to treat the sick and save people, not to mention that it is a child, it is important to see the disease, since I am a child from a poor family, I don't take a penny! ”

"Oh?" Xue Fei'er looked at Du Wenhao again, "You really don't want money?" ”

"The big husband is like a mountain!" Du Wenhao straightened his chest and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture.

"Good! But I won't let you be cured in vain, you really want to be cured, we have a lot of people in the inn, and there are sick people who can't be guaranteed, when the time comes, I will help you introduce you to diagnosis and treatment, and earn some money to buy your Langzhong line, how about it? ”

"Thank you so much! Just ......"

"What's wrong?"

"It's not good to look at the disease, you have to use medicine, this medicine is ......"

Lin Qingdai said: "I'll come out with the medicine." ”

Xue Fei'er smiled: "Thank you, sister!" ”

"You little girl! You think I don't know your ghostly eyes? You know that Dr. Chai went home on the first shift, and now you still come to my pharmacy to look for him on the second shift, isn't that why? ”

Xue Fei'er stuck out her tongue: "I know that my sister has a good heart, alas, it's just that this child is pitiful, and if it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to care about it." ”

"Well, let's go see the disease then."

Xue Fei'er took Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai out of the pharmacy and came to the "Hengxiang Inn" diagonally opposite.

This inn is relatively good in the county, but most of them are occupied by some peddlers and pawns, and when they enter the hall, there are a few lanterns hanging in it, but they still can't illuminate the entire floor, and most of them are hidden in the shadows, which makes people feel a little depressed.

Upstairs is the upper room, downstairs is the bunk, and the row of bungalows in the back of the mule and horse yard is the ground bunk, which is the cheapest place to live.

Walking through a row of stables in the backyard, listening to the sound of mules and horses snorting, and the pungent smell of the thatched toilet wafting not far away, Du Wenhao couldn't help but want to cover his nose, but he saw that the second girl's face did not change, obviously he was already accustomed to this smell, remembering that there was no modern perfect sewage equipment in ancient towns, and this sanitary condition was like this, and he had to get used to it as soon as possible.

I walked to the row of low bungalows at the back, pushed open the door, and inside was a large bunch, and the bunk was full of people, some were snoring soundly, some were leaning on the bunk and chatting in a whisper, and some women were breastfeeding their children on their backs. A few children were playing.

On the floor near the door, a young woman in shabby clothes was holding a baby tightly, humming a little song in a low voice, but the baby was crying in a loud voice, and her voice was so hoarse that it made people's hearts palpitate. When the young woman saw someone coming in, she looked up anxiously, and saw Xue Fei'er at a glance, followed by a few people, and immediately showed joy.

"That's the kid!" Xue Fei'er said to Du Wenhao, walked over and squatted down, and said to the young woman: "Eldest sister, I invited a bell doctor to treat the child, no consultation fee." ”

"Thank you! Thank you, girl, thank you! The young woman knelt up on the bed and handed the swaddling clothes in her arms to Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao took it, let go of the bed, untied the swaddling, revealing the baby's thin body, raised the baby's calves, and saw a big abscess on the little buttocks.

After Du Wenhao gave the child a pulse, he said to Xue Fei'er and Lin Qingdai: "The child's abscess is a summer boil, which is caused by the heat and humidity of the summer and the poison that vaporizes the skin, resulting in the blockage of the meridians and the stagnation of qi and blood. ”

"Huh?" The two girls looked at each other and were surprised.

This surprise is quite normal. Ancient surgical knowledge is far from internal medicine, traditional Chinese medicine surgery only treats some carbuncles and boils, and generally uses conservative treatment with drugs, rarely open surgery and drainage, mainly because there is no microbial knowledge of bacteria, germs and other microorganisms at that time, and do not know how to prevent and treat surgical infection, a small operation often causes serious infection and leads to the death of the patient, in this case, the doctor can only choose conservative treatment. In addition, there is no good way to solve the problem of bleeding and anti-pain during surgery, which restricts the development of ancient surgery. So the two daughters heard Du Wenhao say that they wanted to operate, and both of them knew some pharmacological knowledge, especially Lin Qingdai, who was the female shopkeeper of the pharmacy, well-informed, and knew that he was not a very clever doctor, and he didn't dare to operate at all.

This minor surgical operation is a piece of cake for Du Wenhao, their medical university is a pilot unit of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, attaches great importance to the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of various common diseases, in acupuncture and moxibustion anesthesia pain relief, integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment of acute abdomen and other topics have made remarkable achievements, these knowledge in the classroom Du Wenhao has learned, plus he himself has a foundation in traditional Chinese medicine, but also through the clinical practice of the doctor in the pharmacy, the treatment of this kind of boils is not a problem.

Du Wenhao knew their worries when he saw their expressions, and thought that he had to show his hand to let the two of them have confidence in themselves, so that he would agree to give the child this small operation, and immediately said: "The child is in a lot of pain, I will give him pain first, is there a golden needle?" ”

Of course, the needles used in ancient acupuncture could not be stainless steel silver needles, and they were generally made of brass, so they were called gold needles.

Lin Qingdai hurriedly said: "There is one in the store, I'll get it!" What else do I need? I prepare in advance. ”

Du Wenhao thought for a while and said: "Sophora sophora, cork, eucalyptus macrophylla, and cnidium monnieri are five dollars each, fried in water." In addition, rhubarb, skullcap, cork, gardenia, honeysuckle, and other decoctions are also fried in water, and both decoctions are filtered with gauze to bring the soup. ”

Traditional Chinese medicine disinfectants can avoid the side effects of Western chemical disinfectants, and give full play to the advantages of Chinese herbal medicine with good antibacterial and antiviral effects and few side effects, and can be used for skin disinfection of affected areas and irrigation and anti-inflammation of wounds in surgery.

"Okay!" Lin Qingdai agreed.

"Also, use Coptis chinensis and Nux nux for five dollars each, mash them, soak them in wine with burning knives and bring them."

This is mainly used for the placement of germ-sensitive drainage strips in the surgical wound. According to the regulations, alcohol should be soaked for half a month, but now it is too late, and there is no place to find alcohol, so I can only settle.

Lin Qingdai nodded and left in a hurry.

Xue Fei'er asked, "What do I do?" ”

"Ask the girl to prepare a pot of boiling warm water and a small spoonful of salt, some clean gauze and a small ball of cotton."

"Good!" Xue Fei'er also hurried away, and after a while, she brought back a basin of water and gauze, as well as a small tube of gold needles. After a while, Lin Qingdai also came with a bowl of medicine: "The decoction is ready." ”

Du Wenhao wiped the affected part of the child's buttocks and the parts that needed to be punctured with bitter ginseng soup, took the gold needle, tore off a ball of cotton and dipped it in the potion, and gently wiped the gold needle for disinfection.

He wrapped the front of the golden needle with a cotton wool, aimed at the spinous process of the sixth thoracic vertebra of the child's vein, and sent the needle with his right hand to quickly pierce it, and then gently pushed it in, twisted it lightly for a while, and left the needle. The needle was inserted in the same way at the valley of the creek behind the child, and the needle was left after the breath.

In a moment, the sharp pain of the boil subsided, and the child's cry became smaller, sobbing and choking, and Gollum turned his dark eyes to look at this, look at that, and obviously have energy.

The child stopped crying, but the young woman was so excited that she shed tears and looked at Du Wenhao gratefully.

Xue Fei'er and Lin Qingdai both breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and looked at Du Wenhao with a bit of approval in their eyes.

Du Wenhao said: "Prepare a knife and a few pairs of new chopsticks that have not been used, and boil them in boiling water for later use. Then use some clean small pieces of gauze to steam in the steamer for later use. ”

Xue Fei'er hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Are you really going to go under the knife?" ”

"This boil has suppurated, and it must be drained by surgery, and the decoction cannot be cured. Rest assured, the heart of the doctor's parents, I will never take the patient's life as a child's play. ”

Xue Fei'er and Lin Qingdai glanced at each other again, and they didn't have an idea for a while.
