Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 145 Wool Boil

After traveling for dozens of miles, Wang Yanqiang drove the walking tractor, while Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang sat on the side of the tractor to rest.

I tossed back and forth last night and couldn't sleep well at all.

At this moment, Wang Manyin only felt that his eyelids were clenched, and he was half asleep and half awake, but he heard humming from beside him.

At first, he thought it was a sheep bleating, and he raised his head inadvertently, only to find that Liu Xiangyang was facing him with a silly pale face and was covering his stomach with one hand.

"Xiangyang, what's wrong with you?" Wang Manyin asked anxiously.

"I ate the biscuits too fast in the morning, and I drank cold water again, and I'm a little bloated now." Liu Xiangyang continued rubbing his stomach, and replied weakly.

Wang Manyin hurriedly turned his head and ordered: "Uncle Yanqiang, drive slowly, Xiangyang's stomach hurts a bit."

Hearing this, the car slowed down.

However, after driving a certain distance, he found that the other party's condition had not improved.At this moment, Liu Xiangyang's expression became more and more painful, and beads of sweat still appeared on his forehead.

"Stop, stop!" Wang Manyin didn't dare to delay any longer, and hastily shouted to stop.

After Wang Yanqiang turned off the engine, he walked quickly to the side of the carriage.

After taking a look, he said, "Xiangyang, roll up your clothes and let me see what's going on?"

Liu Xiangyang didn't know why, so he still grabbed the hem of his clothes and rolled up.

Wang Yanqiang stretched out his finger and flicked it on his stomach, making a bouncing sound.Then, squeeze a few more times.

After some inspections, he confidently said, "It's okay, just a small problem. It's a wool boil, and I can cure it."

"Uncle Yanqiang, is it true...you can still cure illnesses?" Liu Xiangyang asked in doubt, enduring the pain.After coming to Guanzi Village for more than half a year, it was the first time he heard that the other party could cure diseases.

Not only him, Wang Manyin also asked in surprise: "Wool boil, what is it? You mean that Xiangyang is allergic to sheep?"

The name of this disease sounds too strange, and there is no impression in the memory of the previous life.

But judging from the name alone, it should be related to sheep.Now they have more than a dozen sheep in the car... Some people will have severe allergic reactions after being exposed to wool, and Wang Manyin knows this.

For example, there are large areas of red bumps on the body, and even difficulty breathing.

But Liu Xiangyang's situation is not quite like it.

"I can't explain it clearly, but the human body grows wool, just find a needle to pick it out." Wang Yanqiang said directly.

"Uncle Yanqiang, you are too nonsense. If you are sick, you should rush to the hospital. I remember that after driving another twenty miles, there is a commune in front of you. Let's find a doctor."

Wang Manyin originally thought that wool boils were an allergy to wool, but now that he heard the other party's answer, he felt a little insulted to his IQ.This kind of statement is simply "outrageous fucking open the door for outrageous - outrageous home".

Anyone with a brain knows that it is impossible to grow wool in the human body.The conclusions are all wrong, and it is said to treat people?

"Aw, aw..."

Over there, Liu Xiangyang was in more pain.Suddenly, he staggered out of the car and started rolling on the grass.

"Man Yin, you believe me, just get a needle and try it, it will only take a few minutes, if it doesn't work, we will send you to the hospital. According to what you said, it will take at least half an hour from here to the hospital."

"Okay." Seeing Liu Xiangyang's pained appearance, Wang Manyin could only choose to "be a dead horse as a living horse doctor".

But deep down in his heart, he thinks that this method of picking wool with a needle is simply more absurd than beating chicken blood.

"Look at the people, I'm going to buy needles... there's an old man catching sheep over there, let me ask if there's anyone nearby?" Wang Manyin pointed to the hillside in the distance.

There are sheep herders, which means that the village is not far away.

However, he looked around and did not see any caves nearby.

Handing Liu Xiangyang to Wang Yanqiang's care, Wang Manyin quickly crossed several hills more than ten meters high, and was about to continue walking forward when his body suddenly stopped.

Good guy, almost fell off someone's roof.

No wonder there are no villages nearby. It turns out that the farmers here live in pit yards.Wang Manyin was standing on the roof of his house at the moment.

Cave dwellings on the Loess Plateau can be roughly divided into two types.One is the Ming Kiln, called the Kaoshan Kiln, which is the style of the cave where people in Guanzi Village lived.

The other is the dark kiln, which is dug underground and is called a pit kiln, and it is also called a pit courtyard in many places.

The construction method of the pit kiln is slightly different from that of the Ming kiln. First, a large pit with a depth of about ten meters is dug on the flat ground, and the width depends on the situation.

If there are few people in the family, it can be made into a courtyard house, and one compound is a cave dwelling.

If you add more people to the family and import them, you can continue to expand the pit to make eight-height courtyards, ten-height courtyards, and even twelve-height courtyards.Infiltration wells are generally drilled in the courtyard, which not only prevent rainwater from flowing backward into the cave dwelling, but also provide daily drinking for the cave dweller.

But in general, there is not much difference between the living style of Ming kiln and dark kiln, which can be divided into main kiln, guest kiln, cross kiln, kitchen kiln, livestock kiln and so on.

Many people think that pit courtyards are characteristic dwellings on the other side of the Yellow River, but this is not the case, as is the case in many places in northern Shaanxi.

Especially in the Yushan area near the Mu Us Desert, the loess layer is relatively thin, and there is no way to dig cave dwellings on many cliffs. People can only develop underground and dig out pits to live in.

Of course, another reason is related to the frequent wars in this area.

Pit kilns are highly concealed, and if you are not familiar with the surrounding environment, it is difficult to see them from a distance.

When Wang Manyin drove past nearby, he didn't realize that there was a village a hundred meters away.

At this moment, standing on the roof of the kiln and looking down, he saw an old lady with white hair sitting in the courtyard, slowly shaking the spinning wheel with one hand, spinning wool.

Next to him was a snotty kid wearing open crotch pants, squatting on the ground to pee and mud, having fun.

"Auntie, are you busy?" Wang Manyin hurriedly greeted her loudly.

Hearing a sound from the roof, both grandma and grandson raised their heads together.

Seeing a stranger, the broken baby seemed to be frightened, and hurried to her grandma's arms to hide.

"Young student, what are you doing?" the old lady asked aloud.

"Auntie, do you have any needles at home? One of my companions has a wool boil and his stomach hurts badly. I want to buy a big needle from yours for treatment."

While Wang Manyin was talking, he didn't enter the family's courtyard.

"Yes, I'll get it for you." The old lady turned around and went back to the house without any hesitation.

Soon, he came up from the doorway with his grandson, holding a big needle in his hand.

Wang Manyin thanked repeatedly after receiving it, and then took out five cents from his pocket and handed it over.

If you open your own agency, you will naturally know the price of needles and threads.A large needle costs two cents, and a small needle costs one cent.But now, curing diseases and saving lives naturally cannot be counted in this way.

"If you want any money, take it." The old lady waved her hands repeatedly.

Wang Manyin refused to ask for something in vain, so he stuffed five cents into the other party's hand, "Ma'am, you paid for it, so let's buy some snacks for your grandson."

Without waiting for the other party to refuse, he hurriedly left.

When he returned, he saw that Wang Yanqiang had lit a fire beside the car.

The other party took the large needle, directly stuck a section into the branch, and then put it on the fire to roast.

"Uncle Yanqiang, do you really know how to treat wool boils?" Seeing that the big needle was burning red, Wang Manyin was startled.

"Don't worry, hold Xiangyang for me later, don't let him struggle!" Wang Yanqiang said still confidently.

Wait for the large needle to burn red and cool down, then the disinfection is complete.

He pinched one end and scratched back and forth on Liu Xiangyang's belly.

Liu Xiangyang was so weak from the pain that he lay on the grass and couldn't move at all.But when the big needle landed on his body, he immediately screamed in horror: "It hurts, it hurts...Uncle Yanqiang, take it easy! Otherwise, I'm going to die, and I'll wait until I go to the hospital!"

He also felt terrified, really afraid that the other party would stick a big needle directly into his flesh.

"Don't move, I'll be ready soon! Man Yin, hold his arm..."

Wang Manyin had no choice but to cooperate and directly fixed Liu Xiangyang's hands.

Over there, Wang Yanqiang sat on his legs, preventing the opponent from struggling back and forth.

Seeing this situation, Wang Manyin instinctively remembered the last time he killed a pig in his mind.

But at the end of the day, one can only hope for a miracle.

While he was watching, after Wang Yanqiang scratched and pulled a few times with the big needle, he suddenly stabbed in obliquely according to the belly, and suddenly picked it out!
"I'll go, what's the situation?" Wang Manyin looked dumbfounded and couldn't help but exclaim.

He originally thought that the so-called wool-picking furunculosis was the local method of acupuncture, but following Wang Yanqiang's movements, he actually picked out a white thing from it, which looked like wool, with blood stains on it.

Then, I picked another one.

Wang Manyin stared at it the whole time without blinking.He was absolutely sure that Wang Yanqiang did not play tricks.

"puff……"

At this time, Liu Xiangyang twisted his body, and suddenly let out a dull and long fart.

Stomach growls, and several more.

real or fake?

Seeing Liu Xiangyang's bulging stomach, the speed decreased visible to the naked eye.Wang Manyin felt that his medical knowledge was quickly subverted.

He hurriedly asked, "Xiang Yang, how do you feel?"

"It's much better." After a few farts in succession, Liu Xiangyang's expression became a little relaxed.He could even sit up from the ground, dusting off his body.

"Uncle Yanqiang, what the hell is this wool boil? How can there be wool growing in the human body?" Wang Manyin asked curiously.

Until now, he is still in a state of confusion.Pick up a small stick and draw and pull it on the white filament.

Wang Manyin discovered that these white silks were not wool, but just shaped like them.But what exactly is it, I don't know.

"I don't know, I just know it works." Wang Yanqiang shook his head.

"Then who did you learn from?" Liu Xiangyang also asked out loud.But after a few minutes, he felt that the situation was much better, and his stomach didn't hurt so much anymore.

"My mother, it was passed down from the older generation. Picking wool can also cure Keshan disease, arthritis..."

Hearing what the other party said became more and more mysterious, Wang Manyin didn't know whether to believe or doubt it.

You want to talk about treating arthritis, maybe it is possible.As for Keshan disease... it's a local name on the Loess Plateau, and later generations call it an endemic cardiomyopathy, which is said to be related to selenium deficiency.

This is a bit nonsense!

You can use a big needle to pick a problem that even the medicine of later generations can't completely solve?
But the key is that this thing is really useful, not annoying.

Just now Liu Xiangyang looked like he wanted to die, but now he looks like a normal person.

Just like Chef Fan's famous saying: "But I'm better this year, I can trot, I can step, I can jump!"
