Chapter 43: All drunk
Lei Qi could only lie on his stomach sadly because the wound on his waist was too big, Tang Yi came closer to take a look, his face was purple-red, his teeth were clenched, and there was a hissing sound in his chest, like a bellows.
Beside Lei Qi, there were Tang Xiucai, Wang Shimao, and an old man who kept shaking his head.
"Alas, Lei Qi is also a master, I really didn't expect that he would end up like this!"
Tang Xiucai frowned and asked, "Isn't there a way?" ”
The white-haired old doctor shook his head and sighed: "Tang Xianggong, the old man is also a little famous in Jiangnan, and he can deal with any incurable diseases." It's just that Lei Qi was too seriously injured, the evil qi entered the body, the yang deficiency was cold outside, and the yin deficiency was internal heat, and now Lei Qi was hot inside and outside, and the symptoms on the outside and inside were combined, the wound was suppurated, delirious, and terminally ill...... Alas! ”
Tang Xiucai also knew a little bit of medical skills, and knew that Lei Qi's condition was very bad, so he hurriedly asked, "Who is Senior Brother Ling, can you find him?" ”
"Alas, the old man's junior brother is called Li Shizhen, and his ability is far above me, but it's a pity that he is far away in the capital now. It will take a month to come back at the earliest, and Lei Qi is afraid that he won't be able to last even three days......"
Tang Xiucai couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, good people don't live long, they just washed away their grievances, and they are going to die, is God so ruthless!
"Dad, don't listen to him." Tang Yi and Wu Tiancheng walked in from outside, took a few steps to Lei Qi's side, touched his forehead with the back of his hand, it was hot, and ripped off his shirt to check the wound. Lei Qi had many wounds on his body, but due to his strong physique, most of them were healed. Only a large piece of the back waist, dripping with yellow pus, exuding a foul smell, Tang Yi couldn't help frowning.
Tang Xiucai hurriedly asked, "Yi'er, do you have a way to save Lei Qi?" ”
"The child can't say that he can be saved, at least give it a try!"
Lei Qi's condition is simply that the wound infection caused fever, confusion, coma, further progression, and even sepsis. In the era when there were no antimicrobials, widespread injuries and infections were essentially a death sentence.
However, Lei Qi is in good health, and if he is rescued in time, there may be a possibility of survival.
It is imperative to clean the wound and prevent the infection from spreading. And the best thing to clean the wound is alcohol, Tang Yi dared to say, looking all over the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't get enough alcohol.
It seems that the master wants to use my golden finger, Lei Qi, Lei Qi, you gave me two hundred taels of silver, and the master saved you twice before and after, there is no such cheap thing in the world, laugh secretly!
Tang Yi twisted his eyebrows for a while, and glared for a while. But the old doctor was so angry that he couldn't help coughing twice.
"Boy, don't make a mess if you don't know medical skills, the old man has already prescribed medicine, let him take it, and there is still a certainty of saving him."
Tang Yi chuckled: "Old man, how can you tell that I don't understand medical skills?" ”
"Then do you still need to ask, you don't even feel the pulse, how do you know the condition?"
"Hahaha, you don't necessarily have to cut the pulse to ask the four methods!"
The two of them quarreled, and Tang Xiucai coughed.
"Yi'er, if you really have a way, hurry up and save people." The implication is that if there is no way, get out, after all, Tang Xiucai doesn't believe that his son understands medical skills, Wu Tiancheng and Wang Shimao are both virtuous, and they are not optimistic about Tang Yi.
Tang Yi's strength to twist his jaw came, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Lei Qi, I can save it, cousin, you go and get some honey and pollen immediately, and adjust it for Lei Qi!" ”
"Honey? When it comes to nourishment, let's use ginseng! Wang Shimao shook his head and said.
Tang Yi said unhappily: "Cousin, can you save people, or can I save people?" ”
What else can Wang Ergongzi say, "It's done, cousin, I will listen to you." ”
Wang Shimao turned around and left, Tang Yi called Wu Tiancheng over again, and ordered: "Tiancheng, you go to the street to buy dozens of barrels of spirits, the stronger and clearer the better, and send them all to your home." ”
"Master, do you want to drink?"
"You're just drinking! I'm a savior! Tang Yi said fiercely: "You remember, you are not afraid of how much money you spend, and let Lei Qi come out when the time comes." ”
This hasn't been saved yet, so I'm thinking about blackmailing Lei Qi, Master, you can really do it! Wu Tiancheng ran away, and Tang Yi called his father over.
"Dad, what the child is going to get next will not only save Lei Qi, but also open up a source of wealth for our family. Go home at once, and prepare as I tell you, and you must remember that you must not let outsiders know. ”
The son said so solemnly, Tang Xiucai hurriedly nodded, and Tang Yi said in his ear what he needed for distilled spirits. Tang Xiucai went to prepare, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he collided with Wang Shimao, who was holding a jar of honey, and a servant came in with bee pollen.
"Cousin, this is what I want from Master Chen, do you see enough?"
There is a jar of more than ten catties, can it not be enough!
"Let's put it on, not only Lei Qi, we can all have some." Tang Yi smiled and took a spoonful and put it in his mouth. In the sweetness, there is the aroma of flowers and plants, no need to ask, it must be the best honey.
Speaking of which, don't look at the little bees, the things produced are all treasures, honey can be laxative and moisturizing, pollen can beautify and nourish the skin, royal jelly is rich in nutrition, propolis can be sterilized and preservative, and the legend says that mummies use propolis as a preservative.
Tang Yi originally wanted to give Lei Qi propolis, but propolis needed to be dissolved in alcohol, so he could only settle for the next best, mix honey and pollen together, add warm water, and knock Lei Qi's mouth open.
Pour it in a little first, and gradually Lei Qi seemed to be stimulated by the sweet taste, closed his eyes, kept swallowing, drank three bowls in a row, and his stomach made a gurgling sound, I don't know if it was an illusion, and the color on his face turned out to be a lot better.
Wang Shimao's eyes widened exaggeratedly, and he roared in a low voice: "Cousin, you won't save Lei Qi with a little honey, it's too easy!" ”
"If you find it easy, then you can come."
Wang Shimao laughed and said, "How can I be embarrassed to rob you of your credit!" ”
Of course, saving people will not be so simple, Tang Yi sighed: "Lei Qi's body is weak, honey and pollen have tonic effects, easy absorption, recovery of physique, the most important thing is to be able to resist bacteria and reduce infection, if you want to really save him, there is still a long way to go!" ”
Wang Shimao listened dumbfounded, Tang Yi didn't have the heart to explain, arched his hand at the old doctor, and said: "Old man, you may not believe in the kid's methods, but please put the patient first, you take good care of him, if he is hungry, feed him some honey, I will prepare something, and I will come in a day and a half." ”
The old doctor grimaced and nodded, "The old man will do it." ”
Tang Yi hurriedly returned home, Wang Shimao followed curiously, and ran to the backyard in one go, at this time everything was ready, a number one iron pot, a few bamboo tubes, and a few large and small wooden barrels.
The shopkeeper Zhu was pouting there, leading his two sons to build the stove. It is important to save people, Tang Yi did not talk nonsense, and immediately took action.
Distilling spirits is not complicated, an iron pot is propped up, a lid with a bamboo tube is placed, and the bamboo tube is bent to a pair of sealed wooden barrels set together, and the two barrels are filled with cold water to cool. A bamboo tube is then passed over the small wooden barrel to direct the cooled alcohol out.
With the help of the four members of the Zhu family, in less than an hour, the stove caught fire, and gradually the wine boiled, and it didn't take long for the clear wine to flow out of the bamboo pipe, Tang Yi hurriedly took a little and tasted it, well, it was almost more than thirty degrees.
"Keep steaming!" Tang Yi was shaking his head and sighing, but he didn't see that there were already a few more pairs of blue light eyes behind him.
They couldn't help but go crazy, and they had never smelled such a strong aroma of wine, Wang Shimao swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and asked tentatively, "Cousin, can I taste it?" ”
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and smiled generously: "Convenient." ”
Wang Shimao took the wine bowl, the clear wine, exuding an intoxicating aroma, and he couldn't wait to drink it, like a fire, burning from his throat to his stomach. After swallowing a sip of wine, his face turned red in an instant.
"Hao, really Hao......" The tip of the tongue of the second prince of Wang is not good.
Wu Tiancheng took a bowl, gave it to Tang Xiucai with a smile, and then took another half bowl himself, holding the clear and fragrant wine, as if it was a jade liquid. Wu Tiancheng used to be an alcoholic, but he couldn't afford to drink without money, but this time he was finally able to drink enough. In a few moments he was lying upright on the ground.
At this time, Tang Xiucai leaned against the wall and moved into the house with difficulty, and did not forget to tell Tang Yi with his tongue.
"Son, give, leave more for Dad, leave some!"
Seeing them drink refreshingly, the shopkeeper Zhu also drank the time, his amount of wine was good, but he had two bowls of stomach, and he also lay on the stove to meet Zhou Gong.
Facing the drunks in the same place, Tang Yi's face turned blue.
Make no mistake, this is a lifesaver!
Tang Yi was like a beast that had been hungry for ten days, staring fiercely at the Zhu family brothers.
"Before the alcohol is steamed, if you dare to take a sip, I will let you get drunk to death!"
Zhu Shan was so frightened that he hurriedly put down the wine bowl and looked at Tang Yi bitterly.
