Chapter 21 The Holy Medicine of Stopping Bleeding
Liu Yong was taken aback when he heard the soldier say that there was something urgent, and hurriedly followed the soldier to see Dong Xi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Dong Xi looked at Liu Yong and complained again and again: "My son-in-law, do you have any good ideas?" ”
Liu Yong was surprised and said, "Big brother, is something wrong?" ”
Dong Xi smiled bitterly for a while: "Although the regiment commander's training method close to actual combat is good, but the sword and gun have no eyes." Although we all use blunt knives and bald guns during training, there are still many people who are injured and bleeding after a fight. ”
Liu Yong said in a deep voice: "This is inevitable, it is better to shed blood at this time than to lose your life on the battlefield." They still don't understand this? ”
Dong Xi shook his head and said, "Everyone knows this principle, so the training is also extremely serious. It's just that there are too many injuries, and the training below can't be connected. ”
"It's inevitable." Liu Yong sighed and said, "But don't we have healing medicine?" Isn't Mr. Hua's medicine ineffective? ”
Dong Xi smiled bitterly: "Mr. Hua's knife wound medicine has a good pain-relieving effect, but it is slightly insufficient to stop bleeding. The injuries caused by this kind of actual combat drill are very different from usual, and it often takes seven or eight days to completely heal, so how can the following training be guaranteed? ”
This is also true, Liu Yong pondered for a long time, suddenly thought of something, and bowed his hand to Dong Xi: "I'll go to Mr. Hua." With that, he hurried away.
At this time, Hua Tuo was teaching Dong Yun the art of massage, and when he saw Liu Yong coming in anxiously, he asked, "Liu Gongzi, is there something to find the old man?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Hua!" Liu Yong said as he gave a salute, nodded to Dong Yun again, and asked again, "Did Mr. ever see a kind of medicinal herb when he was collecting medicine?" It is about two feet tall, usually divided into three branches, and has seven leaves, like the palm of a hand. It blooms from May to July, and the flowers are red, and they are erect and umbrella-like flowers. ”
Hua Tuo thought for a moment and asked, "Does that flower look a little like a ginseng flower?" ”
"Yes, yes! Where did you meet? Liu Yong was overjoyed, this kind of medicine is mostly produced in the southwest, but Jiangxi, Hubei and other places also have it, but it is less. People really realized the medical value of this healing and hemostatic medicine in the Ming Dynasty, so Liu Yong did not expect to be answered in Hua Tuo. It's just that I think Hua Tuo travels all over the world and is well-informed, if he can pick it near the left. Liu Yong also didn't hold out much hope and asked casually, but he didn't expect Hua Tuo to really see it.
"I saw it last year when I was collecting medicine in Lushan, Jiujiang, is this also medicine?" Hua Tuo asked puzzled.
"Yes, the name of this medicine is 'Sanqi'. Not only medicine, but also extremely precious medicine. Liu Yong was a little disappointed, Jiujiang is a little far away from here, and he only has to see if there is a chance in the future.
Dong Yun suddenly said on the side: "Big brother, is the medicine you said have oblong leaves and teeth on the edges?" Its flowers are not very peculiar, there is only one handful, and only one of them grows in a bush. ”
Liu Yong said happily: "Yes." Where did Yun'er meet? Is it much? Liu Yong thought that Dong Yun was a local and had never been far away, if what she saw was really "Sanqi", it would definitely not be far from here.
Dong Yun thought for a while and said, "It's on Qinglong Mountain outside the city, I look like I have a lot of growth." However, I also saw it the year before last, and I don't know if there is anything now. ”
Liu Yong was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Even Mr. Hua doesn't know its efficacy, and it's impossible for others to know." Yun'er, how about you take me to see it tomorrow? ”
Dong Yun hesitated and said: "It's just that a group of robbers came to Qinglong Mountain last year, and they did all kinds of evil, and the big guys didn't dare to go up the mountain." ”
Hua Tuo saw that Liu Yong cared so much about this medicine, and he was even more curious, and asked, "Liu Gongzi, is this medicine really so important?" ”
Liu Yong nodded and explained seriously: "Mr. Hua, this medicine has a nickname, called 'Jin Buchang'. Just listen to the name and you will know how valuable it is. Let me give an analogy, if ginseng is the king of qi tonic medicine, then Panax notoginseng can be the dominant among blood tonic and hemostatic medicines. This medicine can replenish blood and strengthen the body, and can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and is a holy medicine for treating traumatic bleeding. ”
Hua Tuo was dumbfounded and muttered, "There is such a medicine, and the old man doesn't even know about it." Hua Tuo has 100% trust in Liu Yong's medical ethics and knowledge, so he is convinced of the miraculous efficacy of this medicine.
Liu Yong didn't know how to explain it, so he had to say to himself: "On the second thought, trauma is the most common and inevitable thing in the barracks, and pain and bleeding are the most direct factors causing combat attrition. Mr. Hua's ointment is used to relieve pain, and the function of stopping bleeding is the specialty of 'Sanqi'. With this medicine, it can stop bleeding faster, win time for soldiers to get timely treatment, greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers, and ensure the combat effectiveness of this army to the greatest extent. Yun'er, is the place where the medicine grows in the bandits' nest? ”
"Not really. I'm just worried about what to do if I run into that gang of robbers. ”
"Then it doesn't matter. Let's go early tomorrow morning, just be careful. Mr. Hua, wait until I come back from collecting medicine, and then I will discuss it carefully with Mr. Hua. ”
Hua Tuo listened to Liu Yong's words and was even more fascinated, and also wanted to go and inspect it in person, not only to see what the plant was like, but also to understand the soil quality, temperature, humidity and other factors required for the growth of "Panax notoginseng". Hua Tuo also knows that one more person will be more dangerous, and besides, he also needs himself here, and it is difficult to get out. Hua Tuo shook his head with regret, and could only wait for the future to find free time.
Dong Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go prepare in a while." He smiled again, "Big brother, why is this medicine called 'Sanqi'?" What a strange name, does it have something to do with the number twenty-one? ”
Liu Yong sold it and said with a smile: "You will know when you see the appearance of the medicinal herbs." ”
Liu Yongzi explained to Dong Xian, but Dong Xian was a little uneasy, and planned to send Pei Yuanshao and a few other capable sergeants to follow him to deal with possible dangers. Liu Yong persuaded: "Brother Dong, only me and Yun'er are going, and people don't know the ghosts." If there are many people accompanying you, it is easier to attract attention. Dong Xi thought about it, so he asked Dong Yun to be careful, and selected the best two horses from the horses seized the day before yesterday to ride with him.
Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Yong and Dong Yun rode alone, carrying medicine hoes, back baskets, ropes, dry food and other things to Qinglong Mountain. As soon as he got out of the city gate, Dong Yun rode forward, but he didn't hear the sound of the horse's hooves following Liu Yong. Dong Yun turned his head to look, only to see Liu Yong with his head down, his face nervous, his arm stiffly pulling the reins, and walking cautiously. Dong Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "Big brother, are you going for a walk?" When will we be able to do this? ”
Liu Yong said embarrassedly: "Yun'er, I used to only be in the park...... I've only ridden a few times on the road, but I don't dare to ride too fast. ”
Dong Yun blushed and said in a low voice: "Or, it's okay for me to ride with my eldest brother?" As he spoke, the sound was as thin as a gnat, almost inaudible.
Liu Yong didn't think much about it, he was really afraid that he would fall, so he said without thinking: "Okay." I really didn't dare to ride alone. Saying that, he carefully rolled off the horse, walked over, stepped into Dong Yun's stirrup with his left foot, Dong Yun stretched out his hands to hold Liu Yong's left hand and pulled it hard, Liu Yong sat behind Dong Yun's back, and naturally hugged Dong Yun's thin waist with both hands.
Dong Yun was soft for a while, her face was flushed, and she was embarrassed. Liu Yong also felt that he couldn't move, he only felt that his tentacles were delicate and warm, and his face was also red, and he struggled and said: "Yun'er, I'd better ride by myself, let's just walk slowly." ”
Dong Yun gritted her teeth and said, "Big brother, you hold it tight." With a shake of the reins, in Liu Yong's exclamation, the horse rushed out with a "pout". Liu Yong saw that the trees on both sides couldn't help but fall backwards, jolting up and down violently, his heart was beating wildly, and he was busy hugging Dong Yun's thin waist, not daring to move. When the other horse saw that his companion was gone, he also got up and followed closely.
After walking for dozens of miles, Liu Yong gradually got used to it, and the hand he was holding loosened a little, but when he relaxed like this, he faintly felt even more inappropriate, but fortunately, Dong Yun pulled the reins at this time, and it turned out that he had arrived. The two dismounted, and Dong Yun pulled the horse into the dense forest and tied it loosely, so that the horse could not only eat grass, but also deal with ordinary beasts.
Dong Yun said to Liu Yong: "Big brother, this road used to only be walked by medicine pickers or hunters, and it did not lead to the stone village where the bandits were entrenched, and those thieves should not send people to guard it." However, the road is a little difficult to walk, so be careful. ”
also said that the road was a little difficult to walk, this was completely Dong Yun comforting Liu Yong, because there was no road at all. The mountains are high and dense, and there is no daylight inside, but fortunately, Dong Yun is very familiar with the environment here, and it is early spring, so there is no need to worry about poisonous snakes and beasts. It's just that the weeds are too high and dense, and they don't know where they are stepping on, and the two of them have trekked through mountains and rivers along the way, climbing over ditches and mountains, but fortunately, Liu Yong usually exercises well, but he is already sweating and panting. Around noon, the two finally reached the top of the mountain.
"Have you arrived?" Liu Yong asked, he felt a little prostration, and quickly found a big tree to rest.
Dong Yun wiped the beads of sweat from her face and said with a smile: "Not yet, but soon." Big brother, let's rest for a while, eat something, and drink some water. ”
"Ahh Liu Yong said disappointedly, he didn't expect that it would be so hard to collect medicine, and when he looked up and saw Dong Yunhong's fluttering little face, he felt distressed for a while, and said with a smile, "Yun'er, come here, the eldest brother will use it as a chair for you." ”
Dong Yunqiao's face turned even redder, and she said in a low voice: "Big brother, I'm not tired." He walked under Liu Yong's tree and leaned down beside him. Liu Yong smiled: "I'm tired. Yun'er, borrow your shoulder and let the eldest brother lean on it. ”
Dong Yun's heart trembled, but when she saw that Liu Yong didn't move, her face was full of banter, knowing that Liu Yong was joking, she said angrily: "Big brother......
"Just kidding, lighthearted." Liu Yong grinned and stretched, "Eat something and continue on your way." ”
The two ate something indiscriminately, Dong Yun took Liu Yong to the edge of the cliff cautiously, and pointed into the distance: "Big brother, look, there is a stone village." ”
Liu Yong fixed his eyes and saw that there was a mountain peak standing in the distance opposite, the peak was extremely abrupt, like a finger erected from the ground, and there was a large platform on the middle of the peak, and there was a small village on it.
Dong Yun said in a low voice: "That village is only connected to a natural stone bridge outside, which is extremely dangerous, it turned out that there were several Taoist priests there to make alchemy, but now it is a pity that this gang of bandits has taken possession." ”
"Where are we collecting the medicine? Do you want to go down from here? Liu Yong was a little worried, if the bandits on the opposite side found out that there were people here, it would affect his future plans.
"Of course not here. Why don't we go around that far? Dong Yun said a little unhappily.
Liu Yong gently scratched her wrinkled little nose and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world knows that our Yun'er is extremely smart, but her stupid big brother doesn't know." ”
Dong Yun was happy and ashamed, pretending to be angry and said, "Hmph, it's making people happy again." But he was very useful in his heart, and whispered to Liu Yong: "Big brother, go this way." ”
The two turned around and walked to the other side, turned two more hills, and stopped in a dark clearing, Dong Yun pushed aside a bush and asked, "Big brother, do you think this is the medicine you are looking for?" ”
Liu Yong leaned over and said happily: "Yes, this is Sanqi." ”
Dong Yun wondered: "Why do you want to call it Sanqi?" Big brother, you can always talk now, right? ”
Liu Yong smiled and said: "Yun'er, you see, each plant has three branches, and each branch has seven leaves, isn't it notoginseng?" Dong Yun pouted, "It's that simple?" ”
Liu Yong smiled: "This is just one of the statements. There is also a legend, another saying. ”
Dong Yun smiled: "I like to listen to stories the most, big brother come and listen to it." ”
Liu Yong wiped the beads of sweat on his head and said with a smile: "Okay." Let's sit down and rest for a while, and then continue digging for medicine. Legend has it that ......"
It is said that there were two brothers a long time ago. One day, my younger brother suddenly fell ill and was bleeding from all his orifices. After the elder brother learned about it, he hurriedly cut a herbal decoction for the younger brother to take, and after the younger brother took several doses, the blood stopped bleeding and his body quickly recovered. The younger brother asked the elder brother for the seedlings of this herb to plant in his garden. By the second year, the herbs had grown extremely strong. At this time, the son of a rich man in a neighboring village also had this hemorrhagic disease, and he couldn't take any medicine, so his family found out that his brother had suffered from a similar disease before, and he was cured by eating a herb, so they went to his brother's house to ask for medicine. So the younger brother dug up the herbs that had been planted in his garden and gave them to the rich man's son for healing. However, after taking a few doses, the person was still not saved and died. The rich man was so angry that he went to the county magistrate and arrested his younger brother. When the elder brother learned about it, he told the county magistrate that it was not the fault of the younger brother, and that the younger brother used the soup of hemostatic herbs for the rich man's son, but this herb had only grown for a year and had no medicinal properties, and it was only strong when it grew to three to seven years. Remind people that it must be grown for 3-7 years when it is adopted, so that the effect of Panax notoginseng is the best.
"That's it?" Dong Yun shook his head and said, "It's not good." I still like to hear your myths. ”
Liu Yong smiled: "I know." I'll tell Yun'er when my eldest brother is free. ”
"Big brother has to talk about it."
"That's nature."
Most of the notoginseng here has been growing for many years and has excellent medicinal effects. Liu Yong was overjoyed, and collected a lot with Dong Yun, seeing the red sun falling in the west, he put it in the back basket and was about to go down the mountain. Liu Yong occasionally glanced at it, and saw a few plants with yellow flowers growing on a cliff wall next to him, and he couldn't help but scream softly.
