Chapter 221: Trouble
Halfway up the mountain, I saw it from a distance, and on the flag, there were a few big characters written on the ground: Zhen's blacksmith shop.
It seems that what the neighbor's aunt said is true, this Zhen blacksmith should have moved the blacksmith shop to this deserted hill.
In the eyes of others, his approach is obviously a bit unbelievable, but Li Youcai can also understand the spirit of focusing on his career.
After a big detour, Li Youcai finally found this place, of course, without delay, he lifted the backpack behind him and trotted all the way towards the blacksmith shop......
As we got closer and closer to Zhen's blacksmith shop, the firelight bursting from the blacksmith shop and the "sonorous" impact sound became clearer and clearer.
It wasn't until he reached the blacksmith that he slowly let go. I saw that in front of this blacksmith shop, a middle-aged man in his forties, with long hair draped down to a distance of a few inches from his shoulders, with a sigh on his face, it can be seen that he has not been taken care of for a long time. I saw that at this moment, he was standing next to a stove, and he was constantly knocking on a piece of iron blank that had been cooked by the furnace with an iron hammer the size of a fist......
Li Youcai stood aside, he did not rush forward to disturb the blacksmith, but stood aside, silently watching, a series of processes of the blacksmith Zhen when he was striking iron, and he was also extremely focused.
In fact, it is not easy to be a blacksmith.
On the one hand, you need to have a deep understanding of the heat of the furnace and the shape of the iron blank, so that you can use the hammer to hammer it constantly, and finally, to make it into the desired shape, and the blacksmith works in a very difficult environment, which must be able to withstand high temperatures.
Li Youcai couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, it is not easy to do anything......
And when Blacksmith Zhen was hammering, he was obviously very focused, and more than ten minutes had passed, and he hadn't noticed that not far in front of him, there was a young man with bright eyes.
"Ah, alright. After a while, Blacksmith Zhen picked up the iron clip, clamped the piece of iron placed on the anvil, and then put it in front of his eyes, glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the shape is still good." ”
It seems that Blacksmith Zhen is also quite satisfied with the shovel head he has built, and he can't help but put one hand on his waist and laugh a few times......
But at this moment, he suddenly had no reason, his expression was solemn, and then he showed a very painful expression, only to see that his left hand immediately went to support his right hand, and his right hand also hung straight down, as if he was not working.
The blacksmith gasped heavily, and at the same time, a lot of beads of sweat appeared densely on his head, obviously feeling unwell......
Originally, Li Youcai had been watching, and the blacksmith's iron-striking process was also quite fascinating. However, unexpectedly, at this moment, the blacksmith suddenly looked uncomfortable, Li Youcai also felt a little sudden, and after he came back to his senses, he also hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Master Zhen, are you okay?"
Li Youcai said with concern......
Zhen Blacksmith, who was like no one around, found at this moment that in front of him, there was suddenly a young man full of spirit, who was also taken aback, his left hand, couldn't help but temporarily put down his right hand, and at the same time raised it, pointing at Li Youcai and saying, "You... Who are you? How did you come to the mountains?"
As a deserted mountain, few people have always come here, and even if they come, many of them are old customers who have been looking for themselves to make iron, but the person in front of him does not know him at all, and he appeared too suddenly, which also makes Zhen Blacksmith faintly feel a little panicked......
When Li Youcai heard this, he couldn't help but wave his hand and smile bitterly, and was busy explaining: "Master Zhen, that's the case, I was here just now, but I saw that you were so serious about striking iron, so I didn't bother you, but, when I look at your current appearance, it seems that you are a little uncomfortable, what's wrong?"
Blacksmith Zhen looked up and down again, and the young man in front of him found that the other party's face did not look like a person with ill intentions, so he also relaxed slightly, he gasped heavily, and then glanced down at his weak arm, and sighed: "This is my old problem." ”
"Actually, I suffer from myasthenia, maybe because I need too much strength to work, so when I get sick, my whole right arm will become very weak, or even have no strength at all, as if half of my arm is paralyzed. In the past, it was fine, and it was generally good to rest for a few dozen minutes, but with the gradual increase in the number of episodes, it slowly increased for more than an hour or more than three hours...... Now, if I want to recover this arm, I will have to spend at least a day, and I am afraid, as the condition becomes more and more serious, I am afraid that I will ...... I won't be able to strike iron anymore. ”
At this moment, Blacksmith Zhen's gaze was staring at a towering metasequoia tree in the distance, and his gaze became dull and a little confused, and at the same time, he was filled with a very sad feeling, and as he spoke, his eyes were about to moisten.
The man has tears and does not flick, but when it comes to the sad place, it is not something that he can control.
How he loved it, striking iron and forging, it can be said that he was born to do this business. When he builds wrought iron, he can feel that every hammer blow he blows is a call from the bottom of his heart, and even, he can resonate in his own heart, and he has an indescribable emotion for the iron tools forged by himself, whether it is an iron nail, or a larger shovel head, nail rake, as if, like his own child, but, in the following days, perhaps, can not continue this line of work......
Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad.
And at this moment, although Li Youcai is still a stranger to him, this secret has been hidden in his heart for too long, and this sad feeling has been suppressed for too long, and at this moment, he also confided in his true temperament.
When Li Youcai heard this, he also saw that he had symptoms of drooping eyes and face and muscle weakness in his expression, which was also the symptom of myasthenia, but the most prominent thing about Master Zhen was the impact on his arms. Li Youcai can also see his reluctance and unwillingness from his eyes......
Just like myself, I have always loved my work as a doctor, in a certain way, this is not only a kind of work, but also a kind of life attitude and life belief of my own, if, in a certain period of time, suddenly can not continue the work I like, it is as if something in my body has been withdrawn.
It's a very uncomfortable feeling!!
Li Youcai was a little unbearable, he stepped forward, patted Master Zhen's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Master Zhen, you don't need to be so pessimistic, although you have this disease, it doesn't mean that there is no rule of law."
I also went to many hospitals and saw many doctors, but most of them gave me some medicine or told me that I needed to rest more. However, I am a blacksmith, how can I let my hands rest, if I am allowed to rest still, it is even more uncomfortable than letting me die!!
Blacksmith Zhen roared unwillingly......
Indeed, arm muscle weakness is a long-term, and intractable disease, which can be said to bring a lot of pain to the patient's body and mind, but the most fearful person is that he will be depressed and lose confidence in the treatment of this disease.
"I'll help you take the pulse, how about it?" Li Youcai said with Master Zhen's helpless eyes.
"Why do you want to take the pulse, are you a doctor?" Master Zhen couldn't help but wonder.
Li Youcai nodded and said, "Yes, let me give it a try, maybe there is a way." ”
Li Youcai took the initiative to help Blacksmith Zhen diagnose it again, and then take what kind of method to use to heal it......
On the one hand, this is his vocation as a doctor, and there is no reason for a doctor to not lend a helping hand when he is troubled by illness. On the other hand, this time, he also came to ask for Blacksmith Zhen, so if he could be cured this time, perhaps, the chance of letting the other party help him forge the flying knife would be greater.
"Do you really have a way to cure my illness??" Zhen Blacksmith's originally somewhat decadent eyes suddenly had a hint of brilliance, but he still showed a sense of distrust.
"I think there's still a good chance, I'll give you a pulse first. Li Youcai stretched out his hand, put three fingers on Zhen Blacksmith's wrist, cut the pulse three places, and concentrated on distinguishing the pulse.
In fact, the repair system can also help to take on the role of scanning the disease, but it is not very detailed, and Li Youcai needs to take the pulse further to diagnose his illness and triggers, so as to prescribe the right medicine......
After some diagnosis, Li Youcai also had a rough idea in his heart.
In the final analysis, Zhen Blacksmith's arm muscle weakness is a neuromuscular transmission disorder, which is a chronic disease caused by zhì, mainly on the arm, and often has symptoms of paralysis and weakness, although it is only temporary, but with the gradual increase in the number of episodes, the time for him to recover is getting longer and longer......
In fact, a safe way is to avoid excessive labor, which can be alleviated by a certain amount of time.
However, according to the character of Zhen Blacksmith, it is estimated that it is difficult to do.
Therefore, the next method, which Li Youcai is also good at, is to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat...... (To be continued.) )
