Chapter 147: Phlebotomy
Zhou Chong thought that relying on his identity, the other party would have to give some face, but he didn't expect to meet two stunned boys, and looking at each other's appearance, it seemed that it was the first time to come to Shuangyu Port, and he didn't know who he was, so it was naturally impossible to give him face, which made Zhou Chong also a little crying and laughing.
However, since the other party wanted Father John and the two to explain that they had cut their host, this Zhou Zhong knew a little more and understood that Father John and the two of them had good intentions, so he gestured to Father John and said, "Father John, come and explain to these two little brothers!" ”
Father John wanted to explain just now, but unfortunately the other party didn't give him a chance at all, and now that Zhou Zhong is here, he finally had the opportunity to say: "Two little brothers, your boss is because of his obesity, the blood in his body is too full, and his body can't handle so much blood, now I release some of the excess blood in his body, which will make the blood in his body reach a balance again, so that he will wake up soon!" ”
Fr. John's explanation is indeed very in line with the mainstream medicine in the West now, for the current Western countries, no matter what disease they have, there is almost only one way to treat it, that is, bloodletting, and the location and amount of bloodletting for different diseases are also different, it can be said that it has developed into a system, but although this bloodletting therapy has a certain effect on some diseases, it is not beneficial to most diseases, and this treatment method has long been abandoned in later generations.
Zhou Zhong is no stranger to this kind of bloodletting therapy, mainly because he read a celebrity biography in his previous life, which introduced Washington, the founding president of the United States, and this wise president was blind to trust this bloodletting therapy. As a result, when he was sick, he bled himself several times. Half of the total blood is released. As a result, he made himself die of blood loss. In addition, as far as Zhou Zhong knows, Washington is not the only one who has died of excessive bloodletting in Western history, after all, this treatment has been popular in the West for hundreds of years, and God knows how many people will die from this primitive treatment.
The person who was in a coma underground was obese, in the words of later generations, a three-high person, and this kind of person suddenly fainted, probably because of diseases such as high blood pressure, which happened to be one of the diseases that phlebotomy therapy could temporarily take effect. Therefore, Father John's use of phlebotomy against him is probably just the right one.
However, Zhou emphasized the blood liberation therapy, but the two young men on the other side had never heard of bleeding when they were sick, and after listening to Father John's explanation, the stunned guy pointed at him again and reprimanded: "Nonsense, all those who are sick in the world have to recuperate well, how can there be bloodletting like you, I think you just want to harm our host!" ”
Seeing that the other party did not believe his words, Father John and Priest Nader both sweated on their foreheads, and Zhou Zhong became the mediator. Naturally, he wanted to say something fair, so he immediately spoke: "Two little brothers. Zhou is a scholar, and he is also a student of Zhengde for four years, and here Zhou will be fair, these two priests from the West are indeed not lying, in them, bloodletting is indeed the main way to cure diseases! ”
Hearing Zhou Chong's identity as Xiucai, the two guys also showed a respectful look at once, in the Ming Dynasty, Xiucai is still very prestigious, and even when some people have conflicts, they will also find local Xiucai to mediate. Zhou Chong also knew this point, so he took out the identity of Xiucai to bluff people.
"Xiucai Gong, you are well-informed, and you must not lie to our brother in front of so many people, but now that our owner has been released so much blood, people are still unconscious, in case there is a good one, we can't explain it, so we still can't let go of these two Hu people!" The stunned guy on the other side was still very stubborn, but his attitude towards Zhou Zhong had softened a lot.
Zhou Chong also knew that he might not be able to convince the other party no matter what he said, just at this time, the crowd was divided, and the doctor in the chamber of commerce finally came out of breath. This doctor's surname is Wei, he is a middle-aged man in his forties, not tall, and relatively thin, looking like a tuberculosis ghost, but don't look at Dr. Wei's bad looks, but he is the only doctor in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and he is also one of the few doctors in Beigang who has the best Chinese medicine skills.
"Doctor Wei, please help that big brother take a look, it would be better if he could wake up now!" Zhou Zhong smiled and said to Doctor Wei, in Shuangyu Port, doctors are a scarce profession, after all, better doctors don't worry about income at all, and people naturally can't come to Shuangyu Port for money in such a chaotic place, so there are tens of thousands of people in the entire Shuangyu Port, but there are not a few doctors who take it, and this Doctor Wei in front of him is one of them, so Zhou Chong is also very polite to him.
Doctor Wei is very kind to people, and when he heard Zhou Chong's words, he also smiled and agreed, walked over and frowned and looked at the patient lying on the ground, especially when he saw the wound on the other party's arm, he showed a puzzled expression, and then saw him stretch out his hand to the other party's pulse, and then the frowning brows stretched out and said: "It's okay, he is due to the excessive blood in his body caused by his diet, and the weather is hot now, he can't adapt to it for a while, so he fainted, but now the qi and blood in his body have calmed down a lot, It doesn't take long to wake up. ”
Speaking of this, Dr. Wei couldn't help but look at the wound on the patient's arm with strange eyes, and on the way to come, he also heard from the people of the Chamber of Commerce, Zhilu said that this is two Hu people to bleed each other for treatment, although there are also bloodletting therapies in traditional Chinese medicine, but it is all in specific acupuncture points to let blood, and only a few drops of blood are put each time, how can there be like the other party, cut the patient's arm at once, and put a small half bowl of blood?
Hearing Dr. Wei's words, the two guys finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they still begged with some unease: "Doctor, can you give our host a cure, it is best to let him wake up now, so that we can rest assured, as for the outpatient fee, it will definitely not be short for you!" ”
Seeing the worried looks of the two young men, Dr. Wei also smiled understandingly, only to see him reach out and massage the patient's palm and head a few times, and then help the other party up, and hit the patient's back a few times, the result is really godly, with his beating, the obese patient really slowly opened his eyes.
"Wake up! Wake up! The people around were also surprised when they saw Dr. Wei's medical skills, and the two guys ran up to support their boss excitedly and said, "Boss, you finally woke up, you scared us to death just now!" ”
Although this obese patient opened his eyes, his mind was not very clear for a while, and he looked at the people around him with confused eyes, and it took a long time to react and say: "It seems that my old problem has been committed again, huh?" Who broke my arm? ”
At this time, the fat owner finally felt that something was wrong with his arm, and when he turned his head, he found that the wound on his arm, although it was no longer bleeding, but the pool of blood on the ground was still very wet, and it looked so dazzling under the sun.
Hearing the words of the fat owner, Zhou Chong hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "This eldest brother, I am Zhou Chong, the proprietor of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, just now you fainted in front of our Beigang Teahouse, the doorman wanted to carry you in for treatment, but it just so happened that my two Hu friends saw that your situation was not good, plus they also knew some first-aid medical skills, so they had to give you bloodletting treatment without authorization, and now your body is fine, in addition to the later Doctor Wei, you have to thank my two friends!" ”
Those two guys hadn't heard of Zhou Chong, but the fat owner actually came to Shuangyu Port to do business, how could they not know the name of Zhou Chong? Therefore, when he heard that the young man in front of him was actually the owner of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, he was also startled, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "It turned out to be Zhou Gongzi of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and the contemptible surname is Huang Mingtailai, this time thanks to the rescue of Gongzi's friend, Huang has thanked him here!" ”
Huang Tai said to give a deep bow to Father John and Priest Nader, as a serious person, naturally he would not tell a lie in this kind of matter, so he also sincerely thanked the other party, and at the same time motioned to the two men to take out a silver ingot and give it to Father John as a thank you gift, but this was rejected by Father John and Priest Nader, don't look at them so depressed now, but according to the doctrine of the Dominicans, they must not accept other people's property, at most they can only accept food from the other party.
Zhou Chong also knew a little about the beliefs of Father John and Father John before, so he explained to Huang Tailai at this time, which allowed him to take back the silver, and then said a lot of thanks. ”
Hearing the other party's request, Zhou Zhong said with a smile: "Brother Huang is polite, coming to our Shuangyu Port is our guest, we will naturally find a way to provide convenience for the guests, but you can go to the wrong place if you want to receive the goods from the Japanese country, if you want to receive the goods from the Japanese country, if you want to receive the goods from the Japanese country, I recommend my brother to go to the Nangang District, the Xie family Chamber of Commerce over there mainly takes the Japanese route, most of the goods of the entire Shuangyu Port are concentrated in the South Port, if you go there, Report my name directly, and the other party will definitely try their best to help you find satisfactory goods! ”
Hearing Zhou Chong's guidance, Huang Tailai also hurriedly thanked him, and then turned around and prepared to go to Nanyang with his buddy, at this time, Dr. Wei came over and kindly reminded him not to eat too greasy and salty food, otherwise it would not be good for his condition, and as a result, Huang Tailai thanked him again and again.
