Chapter Twenty-Five: Moxibustion and Snake Venom, Sun Simiao is Wonderful!
"Most of the poisonous blood and pus have been sucked up, but the toxins have traveled with the blood."
Sun Simiao looked at the farmer's feet and neck, and said in a deep voice,
"Look at the line."
Xu Fenglei looked in the direction of his finger, but saw a purple-brown line at the wound, straight up.
It's like the poison of bones.
He only touched it lightly, and the farmer almost jumped in pain.
"Shhh It hurts! ”
Tears glistened in the farmer's eyes, and his face was distorted.
It seems that it hurts to the extreme!
"If this line is on the torso, the gods will not be able to save it."
Sun Simiao said solemnly,
"People are not as strong as tigers, and the power of liver detoxification is not enough to dissolve the poison of pit vipers."
"The old man doesn't have an antidote at hand, and the only thing he can do now is ......"
He glanced at the farmer's leg.
"Fortunately, it's only to the calf."
Sun Simiao's gaze turned to the farmer and said in a deep voice,
"Brother, there are only two choices left in front of you now."
"One, the old man is now looking for antidote to snake venom, but he may not be able to find it, after all, it is very troublesome to find a few specific medicines."
"Second, the old man will cut off your calf immediately and leave the poison on the severed limb to save the whole body."
"Time is precious, you can choose quickly!"
When the farmer heard this multiple-choice question, he was dumbfounded.
"Amputated legs? No...... No way! Absolutely not! ”
His face turned bitter, and he said,
"The whole family depends on me to feed on my own...... If this leg is gone, how can you go up the mountain to collect medicine and work? That's like dead! ”
"Hiss......"
Enduring the severe pain, he said with difficulty:
"I choose...... Choose the first one. ”
Even if there is only a slim hope, even if eighty percent is going to die, he wants to gamble.
The main thing is that he also understands in his heart that if he amputates his calf, although he can survive, the pillar of the family will suddenly become a burden!
That would be an even greater burden on the farmers, who were already struggling to make ends meet!
He would rather die than be a waste person to add trouble to his family......
“…… All right. ”
Sun Simiao pursed his lips and said,
"You sit still, don't move, try to hide under the tree, lest the toxin speed up the attack."
"The old man will try to help you find the medicinal herbs and save your legs."
After he finished explaining, he was about to turn around, but saw Xu Fenglei take out a few things from his bag:
Ginger, fire folds, mugwort.
"My master once taught me moxibustion, which can detoxify snake venom."
Xu Fenglei pinched Ai Zhu and said softly,
"I just brought them all, try it."
Seeing this, Sun Simiao frowned slightly.
"Moxibustion?"
He was displeased,
"The skin and flesh of people are the most delicate, and the nature of moxibustion is like to go downward, and the treatment of diseases with moxibustion will not be scorched and the flesh will be dry and bloody?"
"The old man has never believed that moxibustion can cure diseases! Not to mention first aid! You ......"
Sun Simiao was still talking about the disadvantages of moxibustion, but he saw that Xu Fenglei had already made a hole in the ginger slices, pinched the moxa pillar into a small pile, placed it on the small hole in the ginger slices, and then placed it at the front end of the purple-brown poison line on the farmer's calf.
The fire folded a little, and the wormwood burned instantly, and a stream of white eyes curled up, and there was a burst of strange fragrance.
As the white smoke became thicker, the heat of the wormwood continued to fall, and moxibustion cured the poisonous line.
"Hiss......"
The farmer hissed lightly, but the expression on his face was no longer painful, but showed a very cool expression.
Sun Simiao was surprised when he saw this, and squatted down to take a closer look.
But I saw that the poison line on the calf, under the onslaught of wormwood heat, actually retreated an inch!
"Hey, that's amazing!"
The old grandson said in surprise,
"How can moxibustion have such an effect? It's the first time I've seen the old man! ”
As a famous doctor, of course, he knows the basic medical common sense that "the disease is more serious from the limbs to the torso, and the trunk is lighter when the torso retreats to the limbs".
As soon as this poisonous line recedes, it is clear that the pain is alleviating!
He was amazed, but he saw Xu Fenglei striking while the iron was hot, moving the ginger slices down, and then on the top pillar of Ai, and continued to attack!
After ten strong in a row, the poisonous line was already defeated, and finally retreated to the ankle, and he didn't dare to rise again!
The farmer took off his "mask of pain", his brow furrowed, and he carefully turned his ankle.
"Huh! Well, it's really good, it doesn't hurt anymore! ”
When he saw that he was able to retract his feet freely, he immediately smiled and his heart was depressed!
"I won't be able to die for a while."
Xu Fenglei clapped his hands and said,
"The toxicity has also decreased a lot, as long as you find some ordinary snake medicine, you can recover as before."
He snorted at Sun Simiao and said with a smile:
"How? Moxibustion isn't as bad as you always say, right? ”
"If it is a dead person, the skin and flesh are naturally scorched with moxibustion, this is because there is no blood and glory, as long as the person is not dead, the true qi has not been taken off, and the natural qi and blood run, surrounded by glory and guard."
"If you are a thousand strong moxibustion, why is it scorched?!"
"Sun Zhenren, have you learned this time?"
When Sun Simiao heard this, his eyes were full of brilliance.
"Learned, learned...... It is no wonder that the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" also advocates moxibustion, and the old man thought it was a fallacy in medical books, but now it seems that it is ...... Or the old man didn't study enough and didn't understand enough! ”
He stroked his beard and said,
"Looking at it today, moxibustion does have its merits, and it seems that we should study more in the future."
"This is what your master taught you?"
Xu Fenglei nodded as a matter of course.
"Nature."
Sun Simiao's face suddenly showed admiration.
"Earlier, the old man said that the medical skills are above your teacher, and it seems that he is too big."
He couldn't help but say,
"Just talking about this moxibustion method, his Taoism is above the old man."
"In this way, your teacher is really a strange person! Could it be that the mountain doctor's fate is divination, and all five techniques are fine? Is there really any proficient person in this world? The old man has worked hard to study a medical skill......"
"Listen, do you have time to introduce the old man? The old man really wanted to meet this strange man. ”
Sun Simiao was too curious.
This Xu Fenglei's master, isn't he a pioneer like Guiguzi?!
"I can't do it."
Xu Fenglei shook his head and sighed,
"My teacher was self-taught at the age of 20, and at the age of 30 he was already famous all over the world, at the age of 40 he decided to start teaching apprenticeship, and at the age of 59 he drove to the west."
"We didn't expect that his lifespan would be so short, with his medical skills...... It shouldn't be, Gaine painstakingly compiled the writings, devoted himself to teaching, day and night, so that the blood dissipated, alas......"
Sun Simiao saw the sadness in Xu Fenglei's eyes, so he could only pat him on the shoulder to show comfort.
"In this way, he is truly a great sage in the world."
He solemnly arched his hand,
"Worthy of Sun's admiration!"
Although I have never seen Xu Fenglei's master, I can hear from this few words that this is definitely a great sage!
If it were him, he would not be able to be such a painstaking professor and apprentice and carry forward the medical Tao......
"Harm...... Don't talk about that. ”
Xu Fenglei waved his hand, turned his gaze to the farmer, and said with a smile,
"Brother, how are you feeling now?"
The farmer immediately knelt down towards Xu Fenglei, and kowtowed again and again:
"You are truly my savior! Kowtow to the benefactor, kowtow to the benefactor! ”
Bang bang bang, knock dust!
