Xing Ruyi moved a stool, sat on the couch, and first observed Li Yan's face. I saw that he was emaciated, and his two eyes were almost sunken into their sockets. The face shape that should have been square was no longer visible at this time, and only a wrinkled skin was born on those bones.

Li Yan's eyes were lifeless most of the time. Only when answering a question will there be a glimmer of light and a hint of anger.

The so-called doctor practices medicine, there are four procedures, that is, looking, hearing, asking, and seeing. This hope refers to the observation of the qi, the smell of the body, the listening and the questioning, the inquiry of the symptoms, and the feeling of the pulse. Xing Ruyi is not a serious doctor, her so-called medical treatment and saving people, on the one hand, she relies on the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine that she learned with the elders in her family when she was a child, and then there are those things that she looked at indiscriminately before she crossed over.

In fact, Xing Ruyi knew in her heart that her little medical skills, if she were put in any pharmacy in the Tang Dynasty, could only belong to the apprentice level. The difference is that she has ghost arts, but such a secret can't be told to others casually. Therefore, in front of Li Yan, she always has to pretend to be a serious doctor.

After looking and hearing it, Xing Ruyi planned to start to enter the stage of "asking", but after all, it was a general in front of her, and she hadn't thought about how to say the first sentence of this mouth, so she lowered her head and cleared her throat as a cover. Just as she was looking down, she saw Li Yan's hand resting on the edge of the couch.

Li Yan's right index finger showed obvious signs of swelling, not to mention that the color was blue and black, and there was only half a nail on this index finger.

It is said that Li Yan is a martial artist, born in the border pass since he was a child, grew up in the military camp, and fought on the battlefield for many years, so it is normal for him to have some scars on his body. But this half of the nail made Xing Ruyi feel a strange feeling in his heart.

"Ruyi has something I want to ask the general, if there is something offensive, please don't blame the general."

"Miss Ruyi has something to ask." Li Yan closed his eyes and opened them again, and his whole person looked a little tired: "Brother Chang and I are also confidants, since he regards you as his sister, then I will not be difficult for you here." Besides, I asked you to treat me, and if you don't talk about the matter between the patient and the doctor, I understand. After all, a long illness becomes a good doctor, and I have been sick for a long time. ”

"Ruyi would like to ask the general, how did the nails on your index finger fall off?" After Xing Ruyi finished speaking, he added: "This question, what you don't see is related to your condition, general, it's just Ruyi's own curiosity, so it doesn't matter if you don't want to answer, general." Ruyi can understand, and he will not be reluctant. ”

"Not reluctantly, just half a nail, there's nothing to say. I'm wondering why you want to ask this question, girl? ”

"Instinctively!" Xing Ruyi's gaze fell on the half of the nail again: "A human nail is one of the harder parts of the human body, but due to its special location, injuries and damage are inevitable. Let's just say that I am as good as I am, when I was a child, I was stubborn, and I often smashed my fingernails and toenails, but at most, after ten days and half a month, the new nails will slowly grow, and then replace the broken nails little by little, until they are restored as before.

The general's nail doesn't look like a new injury, but if it's an old one, it shouldn't show the slightest sign of recovery. After all, in Luoyang, the divine capital, everything about you is taken care of by the imperial doctor in the palace, so ......" Xing Ruyi raised his eyes, looked at Li Yan and smiled faintly: "So Ruyi guessed that you should also be an old injury, and the imperial doctor in the palace is also helpless against it." ”

"It's worthy of the girl that my brother likes, and this observation ability is really different." Li Yan said, and even pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile: "Don't hide it from the girl, my injury is indeed an old injury, and it has something to do with my illness." ”

"Oh?"

"Miss Ruyi is a goddess doctor who is famous in the gods, so she should also know something about the word tetanus, right?"

"Tetanus?" Xing Ruyi thought for a moment in his mind, "I probably know something." Tetanus is a specific infection associated with trauma. In simple terms, trauma of all types and sizes can be contaminated, especially open fractures, iron-embroidered wounds, small and deep puncture wounds, blind tube trauma, firearm wounds, etc., which are more susceptible to contamination by Clostridium tetani. ”

When Xing Ruyi said this, she suddenly stopped, because she found that she had unconsciously said a lot of words that did not belong to this era, so she changed her tone and explained: "I mean, if you encounter these kinds of trauma, you will be more likely to get tetanus. In the people, because of poverty and reluctance to spend money on medicine, many people will choose to use soil, incense ash, wood ash and other soil methods to compress their wounds after being injured, but the result is more serious and more prone to this disease. ”

"What Miss Ruyi just said is the same as what those imperial doctors in the palace said. The girl should know that the so-called fractures, rusty wounds, small and deep puncture wounds, firearm wounds, etc., are all unavoidable on the battlefield, so those of us who are soldiers fighting wars must not only survive under the enemy's knife, but also ensure that we do not suffer from this tetanus. Because even if there is a military doctor in the camp, it will not help. ”

"Because the military doctor's medical skills are not good?"

"That's just one thing, on the other hand, most of the time, like the villagers in your mouth, we have to heal ourselves by applying dirt and incense ashes.

This is the border gate outside, the war is frequent, and it is written as an excerpt and handed it over, Mo said that the emperor has no feelings, even those officials in the capital, they will not have any special feelings. Because they have never been on the battlefield, they will not understand the cruelty of the battlefield, let alone the hardships of the people below. In their eyes, 100 dead and wounded and 1,000 dead and wounded are just numbers, not the corpses and bones we see in front of us, and the blood is flowing like pools. Therefore, they deduct military supplies layer by layer, not to mention medicinal materials, and even the food they eat is just a stomach. ”

What Li Yan said in his mouth, Xing Ruyi didn't have much experience. Her understanding of the battlefield all comes from those film and television dramas in later generations. Just like Li Yan said, it is difficult for people who have never been to the battlefield and those who have not experienced the smoke of gunpowder to truly appreciate the cruelty of the battlefield. She felt that her throat was a little dry, her chest was a little excited, she was a little indignant, and she had some impulse to comfort Li Yan, but when her eyes met Li Yan's sunken eyes, she couldn't express any emotions.

She just lowered her head and coughed softly.

"Ruyi girl doesn't have to feel anything, you are a doctor, it is your responsibility to save the life and help the wounded, I am a soldier, and it is my responsibility to protect my homeland." Li Yan said, and closed his eyes gently: "Li Yan wants to ask the girl another question of a doctor." If I have tetanus, what are the different symptoms? ”

"It's not a secret, Ruyi has never seen real tetanus in this life, and what I know is limited to the theory in the book, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"It's just a casual chat, Ruyi girl doesn't have to be serious, just tell what she knows. The girl has never seen this kind of disease, but Li Yan has seen a lot, so what the girl said, Li Yan will judge. ”

"If you suffer from tetanus, the condition is mild, before the onset of the disease, there may be general fatigue, dizziness, headache, chewing weakness, local muscle tightness, pulling pain and other symptoms. In terms of type, there are two types of tetanus. One is localized tetanus, which is characterized by rigidity and spasm of the masseter muscles at the site of the wound or face. ”

Xing Ruyi pointed to his face as he spoke, and made some explanatory gestures along the way.

Such a serious female doctor, Li Yan is the first time to see her. His eyes were open, with a hint of inquiry, a hint of curiosity, and even a hint of joy. Suddenly, he seemed to understand the reason why Chang Tai liked the girl in front of him so much.

She, sure enough, is a little different.

Xing Ruyi was busy recalling knowledge related to tetanus. Right now, she has a temporary sense of emptiness, and she doesn't dare to look at Li Yan anymore.

This general who fought on the battlefield, his ability to observe and perceive people's hearts is definitely not bad, and she has not yet learned how to perfectly hide her weakness, and avoiding it is the best choice.

"This second type is called cephalic tetanus. It is caused by head trauma and the face, eye and hypoglossal nerves are paralyzed. In layman's terms, it means that the facial muscles are stiff, unable to make expressions such as crying, laughing, angry, etc., and it will be very difficult to open and close the eyes, and the base of the tongue will be hard, and the words will not be clear, or they will not be able to speak directly. In contrast, the non-paralyzed type may have trismus and spasms of the facial and pharyngeal muscles. ”

"That'...... Is it possible that a third option will emerge? Li Yan looked intently at Xing Ruyi's eyes.

"The general means" Xing Ruyi had an epiphany: "The general's illness is not caused by this tetanus?" ”

"I don't know!" Li Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth: "That's what the military doctor said, and that's how he treated, and I still don't know if I'm suffering from tetanus." As I told the girl, I know a lot about tetanus. Although I don't know what you know, girl, I've seen too many people with this condition, and I know too well what happens when I have it. But I, some like, and some not. So, I held on, but also wanted to find an answer for myself. ”

After Li Yan finished speaking, he glanced deeply at Xing Ruyi.

"Ruyi girl, can you give Li Yan this answer?"

Xing Ruyi felt that his throat was a little dry, not because of Li Yan's gaze, but because of the sentence that Li Yan had just asked. A general, a general with great military achievements, a general who once straddled a war horse to take the head of the enemy army among the ten thousand armies, now, with these eyes that once frightened the enemy, looked at himself and said: "Ruyi girl, can you give Li Yan this answer?" ”

This answer does not involve the government, the military, or even Li Yan, it is just a patient asking the doctor: "What disease do I have?" ”

Xing Ruyi suddenly felt that her nose was a little sour, she looked back at Li Yan, nodded and said, "Okay!" Ruyi promised the general, and he will definitely give the general this answer! ”
