Chapter 16 Moxibustion

“… Do you know Guan Gong? Liu Meibao asked with a smile, looking at the little boy with some regret, "Ah, it seems, you don't know....."

"I know!" Xiao Tong couldn't help but reply, while stretching out his hand and pointing outward, "I often go to Guan Confucius Temple to play." ”

There is a Guan Gong Temple in the city, and Liu Meibao will pass by when he goes to Lu Laosi's shop, and he nodded when he heard the words.

"Oh you know, you're amazing." Liu Meibao smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Although Xiao Tong didn't quite understand the meaning of this gesture, he probably guessed that it was a compliment, and couldn't help but grin.

"Have you heard the story of Emperor Guan?" Liu Meibao smiled, got up and sat on the wide bun, took Xiao Tong's arm, and brought him from the woman's side to herself.

The boy hesitated for a moment, but did not struggle, and shook his head.

"Emperor Guan once fought and was wounded and was shot in the arm by an arrow....." Liu Meibao began to tell the story.

The story of the Three Kingdoms is widely spread among the people, and there are speeches in the teahouse theater, and the adults present know more or less the story of Guan Gong's scraping of bones and healing, Song Langzhong understands what she means, and smiles slightly on the side, when the story is finished, Liu Meibao has already hugged the child and sat on the bunch and held it in his arms.

“… Is Emperor Guan powerful? She asked.

Xiao Tong's eyes widened when he heard this, and he nodded.

"Then do you want to be as powerful as Emperor Guan?" Liu Meibao threw out the final lure.

The boy tightened his face and clenched his small fists, clearly choosing between being a hero and being in pain.

"My sister will do a trick, just rub it on you, and it will make you painless." Liu Meibao threw out a killer move.

Sure enough, the scales of the little boy who was struggling violently immediately tilted.

"I dare." He shook his little fist and said with wide eyes.

The adults present couldn't help but cheer in low voices.

"You're amazing! Growing up is definitely a big hero! Liu Meibao gave him a thumbs up again and said solemnly.

For the first time, Xiao Tong was treated as a hero, and he immediately raised his head and chest.

"Come on." He stretched out his arms and legs generously with his neck.

"The little young master is quite concerned with the style of the emperor..."Song Langzhong also laughed, while preparing the moxa wool.

Looking at the moxa wool that Song Langzhong took out, Liu Meibao couldn't help frowning.

"Sir, this is direct moxibustion, you should use fine moxa, you ....." She said.

The moxa pillar twisted in Song Langzhong's hand was obviously made of coarse mugwort velvet.

Song Langzhong was stunned when he heard her words, and looked at the Ai Zhu in his hand with some puzzlement, Liu Meibao reached out and took a little, twisted it in his hand and looked at it and smelled it.

"It's still Shengai," she said.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Xiao Tong's family members all looked nervously, and there was obviously something wrong with their eyes when they looked at Song Langzhong.

"Girl, this mugwort is like this, what's the problem?" Song Langzhong was also a little puzzled.

"As the saying goes, a seven-year illness must seek three years of mugwort, sir, this moxa wool should only be made by last year's mugwort leaves, right?" Liu Meibao asked.

"Girl's eyesight." Song Langzhong nodded and replied.

"This little brother is directly mugwort, or it is better to use the fine fleece made of cooked mugwort, it is better to change that one, it can also reduce some pain." Liu Meibao hesitated for a moment and said.

"Velvet .." Song Langzhong was a little puzzled, and looked at Liu Meibao, "What is fine velvet?" ”

Liu Meibao was also stunned by his question.

"It's finer than ordinary moxa," she replied, thought for a moment and continued, "Generally, a pound of mugwort leaves can get six or seven taels of coarse moxa, and if you want to make fine moxa, you can only get two or three taels ......"

"A pound of mugwort leaves costs two or three taels?" Song Langzhong was surprised, "How did that happen?" ”

Seeing that Song Langzhong was so surprised, Liu Meibao was relieved, it seems that it is not that Song Langzhong is deliberately shoddy, but that he does not have this kind of moxa wool in his hand.

"It's still that kind of method, that is, the coarse moxa velvet is finely processed." She smiled, "Sir, you can try it in the future, it will be very effective when used for direct moxibustion." ”

Song Langzhong nodded, and seeing that the girl's attitude was calm, obviously not deliberately picking on thorns to embarrass her, he said thank you and started moxibustion in front of him.

The child's clothes and pants were rolled up, Liu Meibao felt that the child in her arms was trembling, and hurriedly let the child's mother sit behind her and hold him, while she got up to the side, rolled up her sleeves, and began to press the acupuncture points that Song Langzhong wanted moxibustion.

"It's okay.." After pressing for a while, Liu Meibao let go of her hand and said.

Song Langzhong nodded, first smeared a little garlic juice, and then lit the mugwort pillar on it, and when the mugwort burned instantly, Liu Meibao reached out again and pressed it beside it.

The boy trembled nervously, but he bit his lip and didn't make a sound.

"Does it hurt?" Liu Meibao asked while pressing, changing the technique of pressing, kneading, and pointing.

Children's clothing heroes, when it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, and when it hurts, it doesn't speak, Liu Meibao can master the degree of strength of the technique.

After a stick of incense, Jiuzhuang moxibustion ended.

Driven by Liu Meibao, the adults present expressed their admiration for Xiao Tong, which made Xiao Tong's face flush with excitement, and he even wanted to do moxibustion again.

Xiaotong's family repeatedly thanked Liu Meibao, and Song Langzhong also nodded on the side to express his gratitude, while asking Liu Meibao that Liu Meibao was also Langzhong.

Since ancient times, medicine has not been separated, but in modern times, the Chinese medicine in the school has been refined, and Chinese medicine is divided into two disciplines.

"I just know a little bit about Chinese medicine." Liu Meibao shook her head and told the truth.

Know Chinese medicine? Don't know how to do medicine? Song Langzhong felt strange when he spoke, but he didn't ask again.

Seeing that there was nothing to help, Liu Meibao took his leave.

"I haven't asked where the girl's family lives yet..."The child's parents asked hurriedly, seeing Liu Meibao's hesitation, they bowed down again and said, "The child's moxibustion will be done once in six days, and there will be Miss Lao ..... then."

"Don't you need it?" Liu Meibao looked at Song Langzhong, "Actually, the technique is very simple, I told Song Langzhong that it was okay....."

Song Langzhong was taken aback when he heard this.

"The girl is going to tell me this?" He asked, wide-eyed in disbelief.

Is there anything strange about this? Besides, this acupressure anesthesia is not unusual, as long as you know the acupuncture points and pay attention to the technique, Liu Meibao also widened her eyes.

At this time, the doctors were all masters and apprentices, and there was no systematic theoretical learning, that is, they followed the master to see the doctor directly, although there were also medical books, but not any doctor could see them, and the doctors were mostly secret to each other's books, which was completely different from the concept formed by Liu Meibao's modern social habit of reading medical books and medicine books casually and reading various prescriptions.

"How much does the girl buy for this method?" Song Langzhong then asked.

Can this be sold for money? Liu Meibao's eyes widened.
