Chapter 359: On the Bone
(Tiankeng, don't enter! Salute to the divine light, salute the dragon boss)
I don't know when night falls, autumn in the south is not as decadent as in the north, at least the trees are still green.
is like the cup of tea that Di Shuye is holding in his hand, and it is also like Di Shuye's face looking at himself.
Di Shu drank very leisurely at night, he was not in a hurry, he believed that Guan Ziyao's heart was moved.
Stealing the bone fruit!
What he promised Zichuan must be done.
If you want to cure Zichuan's turbidity and thunder, you must steal the bone fruit, which can absorb all corrosive existences.
However, the only non-corrosive thing it absorbs is bone.
Regardless of whether it is a human or a cloud beast, once it consumes the Bone Thief Fruit, the bones of the whole body will be softened until they disappear.
During the Three Kingdoms era, Wei, Shu and Wu fought viciously. Once, when Guan Yunchang waved his army to attack Cao Bing, he was hit by the enemy's poisoned arrow in his right arm. The generals asked Guan Gong to return to Jingzhou for treatment, but Guan Gong did not allow it, saying: "I can't miss the major military affairs because of a small trauma." â
Everyone had to visit famous doctors in all directions. One day, a doctor who called himself Hua Tuo came, and he said that he had heard that Guan Gong had been hit by a poisoned arrow and had come to treat him. At this time, Guan Gong's right arm was in severe pain, and he was playing chess with Ma Liang to distract himself, so as not to show a painful expression and distract the army.
Hua Tuo looked at Guan Gong's arrow wound and said: "If the prince's arm is not treated, I am afraid it will be abolished! If it is to be cured, the prince's arm must be firmly tied to the pillar, and then I will cut the flesh with a knife until it is seen to the bone, scrape off the poison from the bone, and then apply medicine and suture it with thread." This is a good cure, but the prince is afraid. â
When Guan Gong heard this, he smiled and said that he was not a common man in the world, and he was not afraid of pain, let alone tied his arms to the pillar, and ordered someone to bring food first, saying: "Mr. is coming from afar, please use wine and food first!" Guan Gong accompanied Hua Tuo to eat for a while, then stretched out his right arm and said: "Please do it now, I will still play chess and eat and drink." Please don't be surprised, sir!" Hua Tuo didn't say anything more. took out a sharp knife, asked someone to put a basin under Guan Gong's arm, saw the position, and cut Guan Gong's flesh and skin. Guan Gong ate and drank as usual. Hua Tuo calmly said: "I used a knife to scrape the poison off the bones of the prince. That's it!" Hua Tuo's technique is skillful. As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in his hand had already scraped back and forth on the bones of Guan Gong's arm, and there was a sound of understanding. The blood that flowed out also filled almost the entire basin. When the soldiers saw this situation, they also hid their faces, but Guan Gong still continued to play chess, eat and drink, and his face did not change. Soon, Hua Tuo scraped off all the poison, applied medicine, and sutured the wound.
Guan Gong laughed and said to the generals: "This arm is stretched out as before, and there is no pain. "Hua Tuo said: "I have been a doctor all my life, and I have never seen this. Although the prince and the marquis are cured, they must be cared for. Don't get angry. After 100 days, it was as calm as ever. After Guan Gong's arrow sores healed, he took out a hundred taels of gold as a reward, and set up a table to entertain Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo politely refused and said: "I heard that the prince and the marquis are noble, and I have come to heal, how can I hope to repay him!" insisted on not accepting it, leaving a post of medicine to apply the sore, and said goodbye.
In the 75th episode of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the famous doctor Hua Tuo "scraped bones to cure poison" for Guan Yuxing, I think everyone will be familiar with it.
The miracle doctor Hua Tuo is indeed a person, he once created "Ma Boiling San" Ma Boiling Powder is the world's earliest anesthetic, and Ma Boiling Powder is an anesthetic created by Hua Tuo for surgery. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Hua Tuo" contains: "If the disease is knotted inside, and the acupuncture and medicine cannot reach it, it is ordered to take wine and numb to boil and dissipate, and when you are drunk and unconscious, you will break the abdomen and back because of the kū (dissection), and the accumulation (lump) will be cut and accumulated." "Hua Tuo's prescription for hemp boiling was later lost. Legend is composed of 1 kg of mandala flower (also called goldenrod and eggplant flower), 4 coins of raw grass black, angelica angelica, angelica, and Chuanxiong, and 1 coin of Nantianxing, a total of 6 flavor medicines; According to the research of later generations, these are not Hua Tuo's original prescriptions. He was the first person in the history of medical science in the world to perform laparotomy using a drug general anesthesia. However, Hua Tuo in history did not treat Guan Gong's arrow wounds, and the two did not even have a chance to meet. Because Hua Tuo died in the 13th year of Jian'an (208 AD), and Guan Yu's poisoned arrow was in the 24th year of Jian'an (219 AD), there was an interval of 11 years, how can the dead heal the living?
However, Guan Yu did have an arrow to scrape the poison, which has been recorded in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Guan Yu", and its details are similar to those described in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but unfortunately the name of the doctor is not recorded in the book.
The reason why Luo Guanzhong wrote the doctor as Hua Tuo was probably because Hua Tuo was a famous doctor at that time and was good at surgery, and it was not a problem to treat arrow injuries. is so "well-founded", coupled with the author's brilliant pen, the story is written vividly and vividly, who doesn't believe in the authenticity of "scraping bones to cure poison"?
In fact, the brave generals who had the experience of "scraping bones" in ancient times were far from Guan Yu alone. According to the "Northern History": the eldest grandson Yan fell from a horse and folded his arm, and the bone on his elbow rose more than an inch, and he was ordered to open the meat and saw the bone, bleeding several liters, and his words and jokes were free, and people thought that "more than Guan Yu". "History of the Song Dynasty" records: Zhao Kuangyin invaded Shouchun in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, "the city sent a crossbow to shoot it, the arrow was as big as a rafter, the tooth will Zhang Qiong cover it, the arrow in Qiong's hip, the armor does not come out of the bone." Joan drank a lot of alcohol, which made people break their bones, bleed several liters, and looked calm. Han Shizhong, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, also had the experience of "poisoning the arrows into the bones, and also using a strong crossbow to bracket it". In the Ming Dynasty, such examples were also repeatedly recorded in historical books, and there are countless examples.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a story of Hua Tuo scraping Guan Yu's bones to cure poison. The story reads: Once, Guan Yu was shot in the right arm by an enemy during a battle. The arrow was poisonous, the poison had penetrated into the bones, it was blue and swollen, and it could not move. Hua Tuo, a famous doctor, heard that Guan Yu's arrow wound did not heal, and said that he could cut the skin and flesh for him, scrape the bones and remove the poison. During the operation, Hua Tuo's sound of scraping his bones was harsh, and the people around him were frightened and covered their faces, but Guan Yu was still drinking and playing chess, as if nothing happened. When Hua Tuo scraped off the poison on his bones, applied medicine, sewed up the thread, and the operation was completed, Guan Yu burst into laughter and said happily: "Mr. is really a miracle doctor." Look, my arms are flexed and stretched freely, and there is no pain left. Hua Tuo also said: "I have practiced medicine all my life, and I have never seen a person as calm and strong as you, what a husband!"
Of course, Hua Tuo scraped Guan Yu's bones. It's just a romance story. In the "Biography of Guan Yu" in the historical book "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", it is not stated who the doctor who treated Guan Yu's illness is, and there is no record in "The Biography of Hua Tuo" that he treated Guan Yu's illness. What's more, Hua Tuo invented anesthetic, and there is no need for patients to experience the pain of scraping bones without anesthesia.
The old man was thin, and there seemed to be no transition between his skin and his bones, as did his face. And his head was unusually large, somewhat disproportionately large. The old man was a soldier when he was young, and he was a Kuomintang soldier, and he was thin at that time. Later, in a battle, the old man let the PLA take prisoners. The old man who became a prisoner changed into a set of PLA military uniforms, turned his gun, and participated in the liberation war. In a few years, he was promoted to platoon commander and joined the party.
That's how he went home with a thin job. After coming back, the old man also served as a cadre in the village, and became the village party secretary at the most prosperous time. In times of turmoil, he inevitably suffered a lot and suffered a lot. Some people say that he has soft bones, because he wants the Kuomintang soldiers to eat well and dress well, and he wants to make himself fat before he joins the Kuomintang army. But the old man said that at that time, the Japanese devils came to China, and who didn't join the army to fight the little Japanese? The old man especially refused to admit that his bones were soft. The rebels knocked him several times a day with sticks and something, and finally broke one of his legs.
The old man who broke a leg no longer dared to say in public that his bones were hard. Yes, if it's really hard, how can someone break a leg? Even he himself is a little ashamed. After the fall of the Gang of Four, the old man was asked to continue to be the secretary of the village branch, but the old man did not do it, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand another blow.
He really didn't do it anymore.
When the old man was in his 70s, he had already entered the 90s of the 20th century. Don't look at others who are so thin that they don't look like individuals, but their bodies are not sick, they can't be idle. He was in the field when it was busy. In the winter, he went out with a basket to collect the manure from the cattle, which was the best fertilizer in the field.
On this day, the old man, as usual, came out early to pick up dung. He walked along the road, and the road crossed a hill and disappeared. The old man usually picks up the halfway up the mountain and walks back. It was a snowy day, and the road was slippery, and a bus carrying dozens of people suddenly slipped its tires when it climbed to the top of the mountain, and the brakes could not be braked, so it slid down quickly. This slope is relatively steep, and what is even more terrifying is that one side of the road is a cliff more than 20 zhang deep. If a car falls off a cliff, the consequences are unimaginable. But the people in the car had no choice but to wait for death to come.
It was at that time that the old man picked up dung and found it here. He watched a bus full of people slide down, and he was stunned. His legs were lame, but now they seemed to be strong. He dropped the dung pick-up tool in his hand, picked up two stones to meet them, and hurriedly put them under the rear tires of the car. But the road was heavy, and the two stones that looked quite hard were crushed. The car continued to slide down, and it looked like it was about to slide into the abyss.
The driver of the car was a middle-aged man with strong physique, and he was constantly trying to brake on the car. Seeing an old man in the mirror helping him stop the sliding wheels made him feel a little more relaxed. But the stones on the old man's cushion shattered, and the car continued to slide backwards. The old man's hands were empty. And there were no stones around that could be used to pad tires. The driver looked at the cliff that was getting closer and closer, and he knew that the most terrible moment had come. At this point, he didn't have anything to think of, he just closed his eyes......
The strange thing is that I waited for a while, but did not wait for the moment of death. Because the car actually stopped retreating, stopped sliding. The driver cautiously opened the door and jumped out of the car, slowly walking to the back of the car. For a moment, the driver was stunned. He saw a scene he will never forget. The passengers who jumped out of the car with the driver also saw it at the same time.
It was an old man who put himself across the back of the car. I saw that his large, thin head was under one tire, and his legs were under the other tire. He used his body to block the slide of the car! And behind it, less than a meter, was the terrifying abyss......
No one knows why the old man's bones are so hard, and no one knows why the old man sacrificed himself to save the people in the car. With tears in their eyes, they pushed the car forward with all the strength they had. Then, they all knelt around the old man. They knew that everything they had after that was given by this old man......
It's just that they don't know that this old man, in the village, is said to be soft-boned......
