Chapter 212: Acupuncture

So we followed Zhao Xi to the place where Zhou Liu's corpse was parked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The place was not too far from the entrance and exit of the entire fortification site, and a section of the path was crooked, and into the depths of the forest, one could see a small cave with a downward ramp, presumably leading to the so-called cellar. Probably to prevent collapse during the rainy season, the exit was slightly walled with large stones.

Although it is already cool in autumn, it is still cool to avoid the light and shade, but after all, this corpse has been dead for many days, and it has only been a few steps into the hole, and there is already a smell of corpses rushing to the face, that kind of smell really directly stimulates the most sensitive nauseous nerves of human beings, and it is difficult for ordinary people to bear!

Sure enough, seeing that Zhao Xi beside him was pale, he suddenly covered his mouth, and after saying "I'm sorry for the sons......" he flew out, and then there was a strong vomiting sound.

Although the four of us don't like this smell either, after all, I am from a hospital and are used to seeing dead corpses, Sang Qing is even more dependent on dead people and ghosts for a living, Qin Qi seems to be no stranger to corpses, only Yue Bi doesn't know if he can bear it, when I think about it and go to see him, he said lightly: "The things I usually fiddle with smell much worse than this." "I can't help but be curious: it smells worse than the smell of corpses, what is this kid usually fiddling with!

The four of them were not surprised, and with torches in their hands, they naturally walked down the ramp.

After walking about dozens of steps to the bottom of the slope, I saw a natural space, not too big, except for a little cleaning of the weeds, it seems that it has not been reprocessed. With the difficult conditions and the status of the circulation on the construction site, it was impossible to arrange any decent coffin for him, and the body was wrapped in straw mats and placed on the ground.

"We'll take care of the lighting, and we'll leave the rest to Qin Qi." Yue Bi said.

When Sang Qing and I heard this, we subconsciously stopped, and we both looked at Qin Qi, and sure enough, he handed the torch to my hand, walked over without hesitation, squatted down next to the corpse, lifted the straw mat and looked at it carefully. Being so close, it is estimated that the smell should be even stronger, but he has no expression of disgust at all, daring to love this sky-high corpse smell has no effect on him at all.

was secretly amazed, but saw him take out a small cloth bag from his arms, put it on the ground, shook it slightly, "bang", the cloth bag unfolded, revealing a row of needles of different lengths and thicknesses, neatly stacked.

I could see clearly that the most of them were thin needles, but there were also many large needles that were thick and long.

Sure enough! Although I don't know much about the Qin period, I know what Bai Jue is good at. In this era when there is no surgical technology, acupuncture doctors are definitely not just able to prick needles, small traumatic surgery is also completely possible, the simplest evidence, is the artifact handed down from ancient times - the emperor's nine needles, there are beryllium needles and mangneedles such as blade-like design.

Now that Qin Qi is showing this in front of the dead, does he want to use it for an autopsy? This is unheard of, and it was an eye-opener!

But seeing that he really reached out to get the needle, I hurriedly shouted, "This ...... It is said that the family still has to come to collect the body, and if he does it without asking his family, it is not appropriate after all, right? ”

Qin Qi's hand stopped, turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't disembowel him." ”

Well, it's very uncomfortable for him to say that word on such an occasion! But apparently he understood the reasoning of this, so I nodded, just stared at it carefully, and said no more.

Sure enough, what he stretched out and pulled out was not a big needle, but a special small needle with a triangular body of an inch.

This kind of needle is also used a lot in modern Chinese medicine, called triangular needle, which is specially used for bloodletting. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the place where fresh blood circulates in the human body is less likely to produce lesions, but whenever there is a change, most of them are because there is stasis, the old blood cannot go out, and the new blood cannot enter. If it is a problem with the body surface, it is simple and effective to drain the blood stasis by bloodletting, so that the new blood can be circulated here to promote the body's self-repair.

But for a qualified acupuncturist, it is a bit too superficial to prick the pain and bleeding when it is broken. The meridians are like the information highway in the human body, and the acupoints are the entrances and exits set up on the highway, and it is not wise to open the mouth where the traffic jam is, so that it can be kept unobstructed, and the congestion will be naturally solved.

Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine why when a sore throat is sore and a few drops of blood are put in the Shaoshang acupoint next to the thumb nail, the pain will be immediately relieved; When you have low back pain, find the green tendons near the Weizhong acupoint on the back of your knee, and also put a few drops of blood out, and the low back pain can be relieved immediately. In the eyes of acupuncture doctors, the throat and thumb, which seem to be eight feet away, are connected to an important meridian - the lung meridian, and between the waist and the knee socket, it is connected to the main long meridian of the back - the bladder meridian!

Coincidentally, when Western medicine first appeared, it also used a large number of bloodletting therapy, but because he did not understand the meridians, and did not know that the bloodletting therapy only needed to be stopped, he only knew that a large number of leeches were used to suck the blood of patients, causing a lot of lives, so it was abandoned.

However, both in traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, there is a general consensus that keeping the blood flowing smoothly can cure diseases.

I only know a little about the meridians, but at least I know that after death, the normal circulation of the human body will all stop, and of course the meridians will no longer play any role.

I saw Qin Qi use the three-edged needle to prick left and right on the corpse, and he got closer to look at it carefully, and then changed the needle and stabbed the deceased in several places in the face a few times, and then took the needle and stood up.

"How?" I asked impatiently.

"It's a little weird." He turned to walk towards us, but his brow furrowed slightly, as if he hadn't figured something out.

"What's so strange?"

"I can't tell you for a while, I need to think about it." He said.

"I don't understand what you said too professionally, just tell us the conclusion, did Zhou Liu die of illness this time?" I got straight to the point.

Qin Qi was silent, bowing his head thoughtfully.

It seems that he needs some time, and I don't want to ask again, a few of them turned around and wanted to get out of the cave, but suddenly heard someone outside screaming: "Didn't he die of illness?" ”

The four of them looked up the ramp in amazement, but saw a tightly wrapped figure swaying down from above, rushing in front of us, kneeling on the ground, raising his face and shouting miserably, "My brother, he...... Isn't it really sick and dead? (To be continued.) )
