Chapter 54: The Benevolence of the Healer
Shen Yuhong glanced back at the refugees, all of them had nothing to do and looked hungry, so he first distributed Ye Shuying's dry food to them to temporarily pad their stomachs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Yuhong took out the silver needle from his bag again, walked to the fainted man, took out three silver needles, and pierced them into the man's three big acupoints, Zhongguan, and Guan Yuan, and twisted the tail of the needle. After a while, the man woke up slowly, Shen Yuhong signaled him not to move, and continued to twist the silver needles at the middle navel and Guan Yuan acupoints for a while, and let the man lie quietly on the side of the road to rest.
When Shen Yuhong saw that the other refugees had finished their dry food and sat down to rest, she asked them one by one what discomfort they were under, and gave each of them a pulse. After understanding the physical condition of these more than forty people, Shen Yuhong roughly divided them into three groups, one group was not infected with the plague or although the body was infected but there was no abnormality, this group had a total of eleven people, which was relatively safe. The second group of 26 people was patients who had already developed symptoms, but they were not serious and were not too difficult to treat. The third group of nine people, the epidemic virus has invaded the internal organs, it is extremely contagious, it must be isolated from other people, and the treatment must also be very cautious, the slightest delay or mistake, it will be difficult to rejuvenate, the child and the man who has just passed out are in this group.
After Shen Yuhong finished dividing into groups, Ye Shuying also came back with medicinal herbs and some hot buns.
Shen Yuhong took the buns and distributed them to the refugees. Although the refugees had just eaten some dry food, they had not had a full stomach for two or three days, and the little food just now was only enough to stuff their teeth. This time, after taking the steamed buns, the refugees once again thanked them and devoured them, but they did not prepare water, and the food was a little difficult.
Shen Yuhong gave the man a needle and gave him two buns. The man knelt down and thanked Shen Yuhong and ate the bun in a hesitant manner.
Ye Shuying looked at the gratitude of these refugees to Shen Yuhong, and her heart was also happy, and her spirits lifted, she walked to Shen Yuhong's side, with a relaxed and bright smile on her face, handed over the herbs to her, and said, "Miss Shen, how are you going to use these medicinal materials?"
Shen Yuhong's mood was a little complicated, she actually didn't want Ye Shuying to stay, because she didn't have much confidence in curing these refugees, and if she didn't get it, she would really take her own life and affect Ye Shuying. However, she does need Ye Shuying's help now. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "We need to find a place to settle near the water source so that I can treat everyone." Brother Ye, I still need you to go to the county seat, and there are some medicines to buy, and I need two pots and some cloth. ”
Ye Shuying said: "You say." ”
Shen Yuhong said more than a dozen names of medicines, said the amount of each medicinal herb needed, said the size of the cloth needed, and then handed a stack of silver tickets given to her by Yang Ming to Ye Shuying.
Ye Shuying did not postpone it, got on the horse and turned around and ran to the county seat.
Shen Yuhong shouted at him: "I will take everyone along this road to the south until I find a water source, and if you encounter a fork in the road, I will leave a mark for you." ”
Ye Shuying heard it and nodded secretly.
Shen Yuhong led everyone to walk another three or four miles, and came to a place called Dajian Ditch, where there was not only a water source, but also six or seven abandoned dilapidated houses. Shen Yuhong was overjoyed, and asked everyone to clean up in the house, tidy up into a habitable appearance, and distribute the house in groups.
After Ye Shuying brought the medicinal herbs, cloth and two pots over, Shen Yuhong couldn't wait to set up two cauldrons with the help of the first group of refugees, and took water to boil a batch of herbs out of the medicinal soup. Fortunately, there were still some wooden pots and wooden tongs left in those dilapidated houses, so that the problem of fetching water was solved.
Ye Shuying consciously found a bamboo forest nearby, cut down some bamboo, and cut out dozens of bamboo jars.
Shen Yuhong asked a few refugees who were not infected to help shape the cloth into small squares and soak them in a pot to boil together.
When Ye Shuying came back with a large pile of bamboo cans, Shen Yuhong and the refugees had already covered their mouths and noses with small square cloths soaked in medicinal soup.
Ye Shuying put down a pile of bamboo cans, Shen Yuhong walked over and handed over a piece of cloth soaked in medicinal soup, smiled faintly, and said, "Brother Ye has worked hard. Covering your mouth and nose with this cloth protects you from the plague. ”
Ye Shuying looked at her gentle smiling face, was stunned for a moment, and happily took it, with a wonderful feeling in her heart, a sunny smile appeared on her face, and said, "Thank you." ”
Shen Yuhong looked at the smile on his face, his heart was warm, and he was a little moved that he could stay and help. Because of her master's teachings since childhood, she almost instinctively wanted to save these people, although she was not sure. But he risked his life to help these refugees.
Shen Yuhong pointed to the first room in the north and said, "Eleven people in that room are safer, and you don't have to contact people in other rooms."
Ye Shuying smiled and nodded, and said: "You don't have to worry about me all the time, I can accompany you here, I can help you, even if I end up burying my life here, I have no regrets." ”
Ye Shuying remembered that she had ordered his acupoint, put the secret of "Transformation Yuan Jue" on him, hid him in the grass, and went alone to bear the grievances with the Lexian faction, and couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart. I was anxious and worried that I couldn't find her, but now I saw her by my side intact, and I felt happy and satisfied. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he will break through for her without hesitation. What's more, just accompany her and take care of a few patients?
Shen Yuhong only smiled faintly and didn't say much. She was still young, and had never been exposed to the plague, a terrible disease that, if not well controlled, could quickly spread to the inhabitants of the neighborhood. If it is not handled well, she and Ye Shuying will really bury these people.
At a time when they were almost desperate, she gave them a little hope. Although she was not sure, she did not dare to show the slightest worry and anxiety in front of them.
Even if Ye Shuying avoided these patients without hesitation and left her at this time, she would not blame him, after all, it is human instinct to survive, and it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid harm.
She didn't persuade him to leave, nor did she force him to stay. But he eventually stayed, which was a great support and comfort to her.
Shen Yuhong recalled the medical cases he had seen before, clarified his thinking, and handled this problem carefully: the first step was to prevent the spread of the disease, and the next step was to treat the most seriously ill people.
Shen Yuhong re-examined the condition of these people, they generally looked tired, their faces were flushed, the main symptoms were sudden cold and heat, body aches and weakness, headache and heaviness, edema of the lower limbs, nausea, vomiting yellow water, thirst and thirst, and lack of urine......
Shen Yuhong thought for a long time, and let Ye Shuying and another relatively healthy middle-aged man carry a cauldron to follow her, she opened the same medicinal herbs that Ye Shuying bought, looked at it carefully, smelled and smelled, and the last one grabbed a handful into the pot, some grabbed three or five, some grabbed seven or eight, and filled half of the pot before nodding and saying, "Okay." ”
Ye Shuying and the man carried the cauldron and set it on the newly built simple stove, and Shen Yuhong personally added water to make the two refugees start a fire and boil the medicine.
Shen Yuhong didn't stay long, cleaned his hands with the leftover medicinal soup from the boiled cloth, went to see the patients with relatively mild diseases, examined them, and selected some medicinal materials and put them in another big pot to boil the medicine.
About half an hour had passed, and the medicinal soup in the pot had boiled, and Ye Shuying and a few relatively safe refugees put the medicinal soup into a bamboo pot and handed it to the patients who were suffering from serious diseases.
Shen Yuhong was not idle, waiting for the two pots of medicinal soup to be divided, and after pouring out the medicinal residue, she began to cook another batch of small cloth pieces with herbs. Even if it can't cure those who have already contracted the disease, at least protect those who have not yet been entangled by the disease.
After everyone has put on a new medicine cloth, it is time for Shen Yuhong to return to the patient.
Those who were not seriously ill had more or less reduced symptoms. Shen Yuhong didn't have much joy, because these patients were not serious, and the treatment was relatively easy, even if he met ordinary Lang Zhong with some medical skills, he could be optimistic, if those Lang Zhong could overcome the fear of the plague in his heart.
The crux of the problem was that the nine people who were in critical condition had edema in their lower limbs, some of which had begun to fester, and the pus that flowed out and the gas they exhaled were very contagious. If they can't get better or recover as soon as possible, even if they cure others, they can still continue to spread the plague to others, and they themselves will become weaker and weaker, and eventually inevitably die one after another.
Time is running out, and maybe someone will fall in the next moment. Shen Yuhong took a deep breath, still with a faint smile on his face, walked into the house where the nine critically ill patients lived, revisited them one by one, carefully experienced the changes in their pulses, and asked them about the changes in their symptoms.
The results were not promising, and their physical changes were not noticeable. However, it did not deteriorate.
Shen Yuhong didn't know the bottom of her heart, she needed to make a new prescription. She walked out of the room with a solemn expression, although she pretended to be calm and had a faint smile on her face.
Ye Shuying followed behind her and asked quietly, "Miss Shen, is it not easy to treat?"
Shen Yuhong didn't say anything, as if he hadn't heard, silently walked to a piece of bluestone, sat down, his thoughts were racing fast, his mind flashed over the swollen or ulcerated legs of those refugees, and the words on the ancient medical book flashed in his mind, and his fingertips seemed to be on whose wrist, and he involuntarily raised and pressed ......
The refugees didn't dare to disturb her, only Ye Shuying stood quietly beside her. After a long time, Shen Yuhong suddenly said a sentence: "It would be nice if the master was here." ”
Ye Shuying said in a low voice: "Don't worry, these people are already very serious, even if you can't cure them, you don't have to blame yourself." ”
Shen Yuhong's eyes were dim, staring at the green grass under his feet, and he said in a low voice: "The ancient medical scriptures say: Those who say that the disease is incurable, they have not obtained their skills. It's because I'm not good at it, how can I think it's because they're too sick?"
Seeing her like this, Ye Shuying was a little worried about her, and comforted: "I don't know medical skills, you don't care about what I said casually." However, you are indeed a little anxious, and you are not a god, and you do not have a panacea, so how can you drink a bowl of medicinal soup to completely cure such a serious illness? How many seriously ill people in this world can only save themselves from drinking medicine for several years, so that the disease does not develop again. Now there are no more cases of sudden convulsions and fainting among them, which means that your medicine is still working. If you think slowly, you will find a way to heal them. ”
Shen Yuhong smiled faintly, cheered up a little, and decided to use silver needles on the nine patients.
Originally, the biggest difference between Huaxi Valley and Yaowangmen is that Yaowangmen is good at using medicine, whether it is using good medicine to save people or using poison to harm people, they will use drugs to the core. Huaxi Valley attaches great importance to the practice of internal strength, and is especially good at acupuncture in the means of curing diseases and saving people, although the prescription medicine is also proficient, but only in the case of not suitable for acupuncture, and when encountering people who do not accept acupuncture, they can use it.
For these contagious diseases, in addition to making an exception for the use of silver needles in first aid, Shen Yuhong's first thought was to use medicine, but now, she wants to use acupuncture at the same time.
Shen Yuhong found a piece of cloth and wrote down more than 20 flavors of medicine with charcoal, and each flavor was measured in catties. After writing it, he still handed it to Ye Shuying, and said, "Brother Ye, I have to trouble you......"
Ye Shuying nodded, happy to take on this errand job.
After Ye Shuying left, Shen Yuhong took out the needle and injected all nine people. Although the child was a little scared, he accepted it with a slight pain.
