Chapter Ninety-Four: Communication with Hua Tuo

"No, I have to talk to Old Man Hua about the environment of surgery, it's better than doing nothing."

Yuan Xi suddenly left in a hurry, confusing everyone, but as the lord of Hebei, there are things to do temporarily, although everyone is surprised, they will not panic.

Yuan Xi, who hurried to the medical school, opened his mouth and said, "What kind of preparation will Dean Hua make when he stitches up the wound?" This matter is very important to Xi, and I hope to give you advice! ”

Hua Tuo thought he had some orders when he saw him coming in in a hurry, but he didn't expect such a sentence to come, which made him stunned.

I couldn't help but wonder: "Who wants to stitch up the wound?" Whether it is an abscess to be removed or a sword wound, the former is okay and can wait, the latter can not be delayed, and must be stitched up immediately. ”

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "No, Xi just wants to understand that wound suturing can easily cause inflammation and suppuration, so you should be prepared when suturing to reduce the occurrence of such things." ”

Hearing this, Hua Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, it's not good that someone is injured now, and the one who can let Yuan Xi personally come to talk about this matter must be an important person, and he is really worried about delay.

Then he shook his head and said, "At the moment, there are really not many ways to defend against inflammation after cutting flesh, cutting, and stitching wounds. ”

Yuan Xi frowned and asked again: "Then you still dared to promise Cao Sikong that the craniotomy treatment of his head wind syndrome can be cured, and you are not afraid of postoperative inflammation by opening the cranial cavity?" ”

Hua Tuo smiled when he heard this: "The subordinates will open the skull when the blood in the head is the least, the knife is boiled in boiling water, the wound is stitched and then pounded into a pulp with a hibiscus fruit, and then covered with fresh plate oil and bandaged, the fast is three or five days, the slow is seven or eight days, and the wound can be healed." ”

"Fleur?"

Yuan Xi's head was confused, what is this, it sounds like a certain plant, but this method of treating wounds, he seems to have heard of it somewhere, but the medicine is different.

Hua Tuo saw him muttering to himself, because he said with a smile: "A hibiscus is a medicinal material from the Western Regions, Zhang Qian brought back some seeds, Chang'an Old Palace was planted that year, as an ornamental flower, because the flowers are gorgeous like hibiscus flowers, so the name was given, this flower is fruitful, the fruit can be used in medicine, the subordinate is also an accidental discovery, after many experiments, it was found that it is very effective for inflammation, dysentery and other symptoms. ”

As he spoke, he got up and took out a sun-dried fruit from the medicine box and handed it to him, Yuan Xi took it and looked at it carefully, but he still didn't know what kind of plant fruit it was.

"Oh yes, now there is this thing in the Bingzhou area, if the lord is curious, he can let people take it back and plant it, as an ornamental object, its flowers are delicate, and it looks much better than the hibiscus."

Yuan Xi was thinking about something, Hua Tuo's introduction entered his ears again, which made his heart move, and he blurted out: "Poppy!" ”

This voice also reminded him of why he was so familiar with this healing technique, and he really heard the old man in the neighborhood say it in his previous life.

It is said that when the old man was young, it was the era of the Republic of China, and when he saw someone in the mountain village with a knife wound that was bleeding nonstop, he used lard oil to smear opium paste to bandage the wound, and the bleeding quickly stopped.

And after the wound heals, even the scar is very shallow, saying that this is a folk soil method, but the effect is excellent, not only to stop bleeding but also to reduce inflammation.

When he heard it, he was naturally skeptical, after all, he had never seen it or experimented with it, and then he was a little convinced after seeing the efficacy of the opium poppy in the pharmacopoeia.

Because this thing has the effect of astringency and fixation, it can treat dysentery, indicating that it can reduce inflammation, and then he went to check the information, only to find that the earliest record of this thing was in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was a tribute to China as a tribute to the Western Regions, and the ancestors knew its medicinal properties for a long time, and also warned future generations that this thing was toxic and should be used with caution.

It's just that the descendants are not angry, but they are still harmed by this thing, and obviously the ancestors told you that it was poisonous, and they dared to smoke it as a big cigarette, and it was not the same way to die.

Moreover, the toxicity of this thing not only harms itself, but also causes congenital weakness to the body of children and grandchildren through heredity, which can be described as a poisonous poison for three generations.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi's body trembled, and hurriedly said to Hua Tuo: "I know what this thing is, this thing can be used as a medicinal material, but it cannot be commonly used, and the people who commonly use it will be poisoned, and it will harm future generations, and order all places to strictly control the spread of this thing to the people, and the medical school can specially open up and plant, but every plant must be registered and guarded, and there will be no forgiveness for violators!" ”

Hua Tuo was stunned, he knew that this thing was very good as a medicine, but he had not yet experimented with toxic side effects, and his own lord actually gave such an order, which showed that he knew this thing very well.

It's just that at first, he didn't know anything about it.

Suddenly remembering the name "poppy" called out by Yuan Xi, he hurriedly asked: "The lord has never seen the real thing, but has he seen the book that records this thing?" The subordinates still accidentally discovered his medicinal properties, and the lord has already made his head, indicating that someone has already discovered the effect of this thing, I don't know what kind of book it is? ”

Looking at the large curious baby Hua Tuo, Yuan Xi couldn't tell him that future generations would know it, so he had to pretend to be annoyed and explained: "Xi did read a broken book, or when he was in Luoyang, and later returned to Runan and didn't take it away, when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, where could the Yuan family be found, I'm afraid it will be destroyed." ”

This explanation is very reasonable, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family have a collection of more than 10,000 books in their official residence in Luoyang, and it is really possible that there are only one book and a fragment of the book, and it is true that all of them were destroyed by Dong Zhuo's hands.

More than 50 people of the Yuan family who stayed in Luoyang were all killed, not to mention books, Dong Zhuo's uneducated people would not move the books, and burning them was what he would do.

Seeing Hua Tuo's regretful expression, Yuan Xi hurriedly changed the topic and talked about preparations before surgery, and then simply used the same excuse to introduce how to disinfect before surgery and eliminate inflammatory complications as much as possible.

In this era, it is impossible to achieve sterility, and he will not talk about this, but it is possible to say that it is possible to say that the operating room alone needs to change clothes, disinfect hands, sterilize knives, needles and threads, and sterilize the linen cloth to bandage wounds.

In particular, the disinfection of the skin of his hands reminded him of distilled alcohol, and China's wine culture has existed since the Yin Shang era.

And the legendary Du Kang, who invented wine, was earlier, it was a person from the Xia Dynasty, so wine has become a common thing in the Han Dynasty, and rich people have drunk it.

But in addition to the mash grains of the wine of this era, there is only rice wine, rice wine is not rice wine, and rice wine is just a classification of rice wine.

But whether it is rice wine or rice wine, it can be distilled to obtain a high degree of liquor, or even alcohol.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi left in a hurry, and when he returned home, he drew drawings and asked people to make the items needed for distillation, the simplest of which was to use bamboo products.

No one in the family knew what he was busy with, and he didn't say anything when asked, anyway, it was a god's chatter, but fortunately, there were more people and more money, and it was easy to do things, and the best tool started distilling in two days.
