Chapter 53: The Rat Woman

Although the conditions of the health center are limited and there is a lack of effective treatment methods, Dean Qi does not intend to, let alone have the possibility, to hand over the patient to Zhao Tongyi.

As a local, Dean Qi had heard of the major archaeological discoveries in Laohebao, the arrival of the archaeological team, and they had been in contact with them earlier, because the archaeological team had also sought their medical assistance.

It is precisely because of this that Dean Qi has a heartfelt antipathy towards Zhao Tongyi, and in this regard, he and Jiang Huijie's views are surprisingly consistent.

Although the archaeological team excavated ancient things, this is a scientific research discipline, and it is difficult for people like Zhao Tongrong to assist, and Zheng Junrong actually obeyed Zhao Tongrong's words, which makes it difficult for people who believe in science to accept.

Although he was also curious about what Zhao Tongyi would do next, he thought in his heart that no matter what he did, he would not let him take the patient away!

Zhao Tongyi didn't seem to care about Dean Qi's eyes, but walked over to He Zhenxiao and Zhang Weiyun.

Although the two of them were team leaders and Zheng Junrong's students, they did not feel superior and lived in the ward, but stayed in the corridor, and did not even occupy an extra bed, just lying on a row of chairs.

At this time, Zhao Tongxiao bent down slightly, pinched He Zhenxiao's swollen and rash calf, lifted his clothes, knocked on his belly, and opened the Qiankun bag he was carrying.

He muttered to himself, Dean Qi, Jiang Huijie and the others' eyes were full of doubt, even anger, this is simply dancing on the temple of science!

However, Zheng Junrong, and even Qin Dayou, were full of awe in their eyes!

This Qiankun bag is not very large, it looks very delicate, and it can be completely packed in the trouser pocket, just like a soft purse for women, but there are some runes embroidered on it.

Zhao Tongyi took out an object from it, the size of his tail finger, three inches long, and a faint fragrance suddenly spread.

"Ai Zhu?" Dean Qi's eyes also widened, although he is now the dean, after all, it was the father of the barefoot doctor who gave him enlightenment, and he had also been in contact with traditional Chinese medicine, and even for a long time, traditional Chinese medicine was his main business.

Zhao Tongyi also ignored it, and stretched out his hand towards Meng Jiefang: "Borrow a fire." ”

Meng Jiefang was stunned, so he lit a match for him and lit the wormwood pillar.

After Ai Zhu was lit, it seemed that the whole hall was a little dull, the smoke was not very big, but the smell was very strong.

It is said that the longer the moxa moxa pillar is stored, the lighter the smell will be, but Zhao Tongyi's mugwort is the opposite, as if all the essence of mugwort leaves is condensed in it.

He pressed He Zhenxiao's belly with his hand, and at this time, Yan Yu saw that the red rashes on He Zhenxiao's belly were not raised, but sunken, as if there was a small white thorn inside!

After Zhao Tongxiao approached Ai Zhu, He Zhenxiao's belly also subconsciously tightened, but at this moment, something strange happened!

His belly was squirming!

To be precise, it was the rash on his belly that began to "bloom" one by one, as if it had sprouted!

The dense rash "grows" out of sharp buds the size of red sesame seeds, and these sharp buds actually grow thin feet, and then crawl out, which makes people feel dense phobia!

"This ...... What is it! Dean Qi and Jiang Huijie were also dumbfounded!

Those little red reptiles struggled on He Zhenxiao's belly, trying to escape, but they were suppressed by Ai Zhu's mist and finally died on their stomachs!

He Zhenxiao only felt that his belly was itchy, and he wanted to reach out to grab it several times, but he was stopped by Zhao Tongxiao, and he didn't dare to look at it, but Zhang Weiyun saw all this in his eyes, his face was pale, and he was so frightened that he vomited it out!

After all, Zhao Tongyi and others are the leaders of the archaeological team, and after they came, many people also saw it, and they saw this scene clearly at this time!

"It wasn't decompression sickness, it was these bugs!"

Meng Jiefang and the others were also amazed, Dean Qi was a person who was eager to learn, and he didn't care about his disdain for Zhao Tongyi, and asked him.

"This ...... What kind of bug is this? ”

Zhao Tongyi explained to Dean Qi while transferring Ai Zhu to He Zhenxiao's lap.

"This insect is called the Blood Rat Woman, and it likes a dark and damp underground environment, and it was discovered earlier in the underground of the Dragon King Temple, and it is precisely because we are preparing a method to kill this insect in a large area, so we are not in a hurry to excavate."

"This thing likes warm blood the most, and it's too small and moves too fast, so I guess someone got into the water without permission and provoked these bugs, and then it spread."

"Although it is small, this thing is extremely poisonous, and it can keep burrowing into flesh like a tick, so it is very troublesome."

"Blood Rat Woman? Does it have anything to do with the rat woman? Dean Qi originally studied traditional Chinese medicine, so he naturally knew that there was a medicine in traditional Chinese medicine called "rat woman", also called "ground lice".

After this small insect is used in medicine, it can relieve asthma and diuresis, detoxify and relieve pain, and even some moderate and severe cancer pain can be relieved, and folk remedies are also used to treat all kinds of carbuncles, and even hemorrhoids can be treated.

Zhao Tongyi did not hide it: "It looks a bit similar, but it is completely two things, and the body is smaller, but the temperament is more ferocious, and it is more secretive......"

"Since you know about the Rat Woman, you should also know how to hide and collect the Rat Woman, right?"

When Zhao Tongyi asked this, he stopped Dean Qi.

Although he used to be a Chinese medicine practitioner and had used traditional Chinese medicine, he really didn't know much about the collection and preparation of this thing.

Zhao Tongyi seemed to be expected, just smiled, turned his head to Yan Yu and said, "It is said that Teacher Yan Yu is well-read and well-informed, why don't you talk about Teacher Yan?" ”

Yan Yu didn't want to speak, but when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he had to sigh lightly in his heart, recalling for a moment, as if searching for the information in his memory, and then he spoke.

"The rat woman likes dark and damp places, you can shovel up the turf with soil, buckle it upside down on the grass next to the wall, cover it with three or two layers, water it after three days, keep the turf moist, and open the turf for about a month, you can see the rat woman gathered in one place."

When Yan Yu said this, everyone was also amazed, but they didn't expect these little insects to be so interesting.

Zhao Tongyi smiled at Yan Yu, nodded and said, "Teacher Yan Yu's erudition is really worthy of his reputation, but this is just a rat woman, and the blood rat woman is not so easy to deal with." ”

"The blood rat woman is more hidden than the ordinary rat woman, and her temperament is extremely violent, and her reproduction and growth are also very rapid, if you don't hand over these people to me and bring them back, I am afraid that the infection will spread, and the entire health center and even the entire county will be infected with this bug!"

When everyone heard this, they retreated one after another, avoiding it!

Zhao Tongyi was a little amused: "Don't be afraid, if you are not close to the patient, you don't have that breath on your body, and the blood rat woman will not take the initiative to attach to you for the time being." ”

"These people are all working in the Dragon King Temple, and they have the old air of the Dragon King Temple, so they are targeted by the Blood Rat Woman."

As soon as Zhao Tongyi said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief again.

He seems to enjoy this feeling very much, his words and deeds, and his gestures can affect everyone's emotions, and this sense of slow control makes him quite satisfied.

Dean Qi didn't fluctuate much: "So, this ...... Not decompression sickness? ”

"It's not."

"This bug caused it?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to use moxibustion one by one?"

Zhao Tongyi answered all questions, which could be regarded as giving Dean Qi enough face, but he shook his head at this time.

"It's too troublesome to use moxibustion one by one, and after the insects get in, the depth is different, and the heat and distance required for moxibustion need to be well grasped."

"I have a better idea."

"What's the method?" Zhao Tongyi's "Wild Road" seems to evoke the memory of Dean Qi's barefoot practice of medicine in the early years, and as a former Langzhong, he is still very interested in these folk remedies.

"The blood rat woman likes yin but not yang, as long as you use bitter herbs such as Sophora ginseng, cork, and Cnidium monnieri to boil water and soak in it, you can force these insects out and kill them in the bitter water."

"Of course, if you don't have these conditions, you can't get a prescription, and there is a compromise method, which is to replace it with the bitter roots of some plants."

Dean Qi didn't expect the method to be so simple, but now that the materials are scarce, it is not easy to give medicine to so many people.

Zhao Tongyi seemed to take a fancy to Dean Qi's thoughts, and continued: "I heard that there is a family in the county that sells tea withered, and it is okay to use tea withered. ”

"Tea withered? Isn't tea withered poisonous? Meng Jiefang was also a little surprised, this tea withered is also tea bran, which is the residue left after the oil is pressed from the camellia seeds.

This thing is generally used to wash hair, which child has lice or something, wash their hair with tea wither, can poison all the lice, and some people in the small river and stream, put the tea wither, can poison all the small fish in the river and stream.

Zhao Tongyi just smiled: "The fish washed with tea, do you cook it and eat it?" Was it poisoned? ”

Meng Jiefang didn't say anything more, but Jiang Huijie still didn't believe it: "Since this insect is so powerful, why is it not recorded in the book?" Haven't seen it yet? ”

Zhao Tongyi looked at Yan Yu, and saw that Yan Yu deliberately stopped paying attention to him, so he didn't push Yan Yu out, but replied by himself.

"After the founding of the country, this thing has been killed once, and it is easy to see it, if it weren't for the opening of the Dragon King Temple this time, it is estimated that they will completely sleep in the ground until they perish, and it will be difficult to see the light of day again......"

"This is also the reason why we have been worried, we don't want to bring the blood rat woman to the world again, it's just ......" Zhao Tongyi cast his eyes on He Zhenxiao and Zhang Weiyun, the two of them were also ashamed, and estimated that it was really they who secretly let them go into the water.

"But don't worry, I'll cure all of these people, and make sure that half of these bugs won't leak!"

Zhao Tong was sonorous and powerful, and he spoke loudly, at this moment, Yan Yu seemed to feel that this old man in Zhongshan suit had conquered many people present and recruited a few supporters for himself!
