Song Yi

Chapter 275

Xue Langzhong's face changed slightly, and he cupped his hands to Du Wenhao and said, "Two, there is a patient in the old man's front yard who needs medical treatment, so I won't accompany you. You two don't have to be restrained. Please feel free."

"The old man is busy, don't worry about us." Du Wenhao cupped his hands.

Xue Langzhong cupped his hands again, and hurried away with the woman.

At this time, the servant brought hot water to wash the eldest princess and the others.Du Wenhao was thinking about the medicine, and after washing in a hurry, he went to the kitchen, saw that the ephedra soup was ready, and took it down to cool down.Dai Zheshi has to wait a while to boil two bowls of water into one bowl of water.

At this time, someone was crying in the yard suddenly, the crying was shrill, it seemed to be the woman who called Xue Langzhong away earlier.Du Wenhao went to the window and looked into the yard. Sure enough, the woman was kneeling on the ground, and the man on the door panel in the yard had stopped barking, rolled his eyes, and panted heavily.Xue Langzhong was squatting on the ground, holding a bowl of soup and medicine to feed the patient.But when the soup entered the mouth, it soon flowed out.The man no longer knew how to swallow.

Du Wenhao's heart sank, he opened the door curtain and walked out to the yard.There were several people watching around the door, with gloomy expressions on their faces. Du Wenhao was wearing an ordinary short shirt, which is the most simple and common attire in the countryside, so no one paid attention to him.

Du Wenhao looked down at the man on the door panel, and saw that his chest was clamped by several splints for fixing fractures and wrapped with cloth belts. He could tell at a glance that chest wall fixation was commonly used for sternocostal fractures at this time.

Hearing the man's breathing, Du Wenhao frowned, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Xue, can I examine him?"

Xue Langzhong was stroking his beard and thinking about what to do. Hearing this, he nodded casually.

Du Wenhao saw that the man on the door panel was in his thirties, he was extremely depressed, his voice was weak, his breathing was short, and there were two quilts behind him, he turned his head and asked, "Why don't you put him down?"

"It can't be flattened!" said the crying woman, "Once he is flattened, he will be in great pain!"

Du Wenhao nodded and said, "This elder brother has a broken rib, right?"

"That's right, I went up the mountain to collect firewood yesterday and fell from a tree. Xue Langzhong said that I hurt my ribs. I have fixed the bone with a splint."

After Du Wenhao checked the patient's pulse and checked his tongue, he pondered for a moment, stood up and looked around, and found a pile of bamboos piled up in the corner of the wall. If the size is right, I cut off a bamboo tube, walked back and squatted down.He signaled for everyone not to speak, and put the bamboo tube on the patient's chest.Listen attentively.

These people looked at each other, not knowing what he was doing.Fortunately, when they came in earlier, they said he was a doctor, and just now they asked Xue Langzhong's opinion to examine the patient, and Xue Langzhong also agreed, so even though they saw his strange behavior, these people still didn't make a sound to stop him.Frowning at him.

Du Wenhao listened to the patient's chest and flanks with the bamboo tube, and found that the patient had crepitus in the right chest, decreased breath sounds in the right lung, and phlegm sounds in both lungs.

Of course, the hearing effect of the bamboo tube is not as good as that of a stethoscope, but before the invention of the stethoscope, doctors auscultated in this way, and the effect is acceptable.

Du Wenhao put down the bamboo tube, stretched out his hand and gently pressed the patient's chest and other parts, and the patient began to complain of pain.Du Wenhao asked while pressing, and found that the patient had tenderness in the fourth to eighth ribs of the right chest, and there was also squeezing pain in the pelvis.It shows that the pelvis is also fractured!
Du Wenhao pondered for a moment, then said: "Mr. Xue, this brother has already injured his lungs. If he continues to be splinted like this, he may die."

These words were like a stone falling into the pool water, and there was a burst of ripples immediately, and everyone looked up at him.including the woman wiping her tears with her sleeve,

Dr. Xue raised his head and glanced at him: "What do you think Brother Du said?"

"It's no problem to use the chest wall for general rib fractures, but if the fracture has caused lung contusion, it cannot be fixed with a splint."

"Really? Why is that?"

"Lung contusion will cause edema and bleeding, and secrete a large amount of secretions. If the chest wall is fixed, it will inhibit the coughing action of the injured side, causing secretions to accumulate in the lungs and trachea, which will easily cause atelectasis and respiratory distress. In severe cases, the patient will be suffocated alive. dead."

Xue Langzhong's face darkened: "Brother Du, what you are saying is too alarmist, right? I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have seen many people treat rib fractures, and they all fix them with splints like this."

Du Wenhao said indifferently: "Then how many people died later?"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. Broken ribs are terminal illnesses, and only one out of ten can be cured. There is nothing strange about dying."

"It cannot be cured, not because the disease itself is severe, but because the person who treats the disease is incompetent. All diseases in the world, as long as they cannot be cured, are terminally ill. If they can be cured, they are not terminally ill."

Xue Langzhong's face was ugly: "Oh, brother, you can cure this disease?"

"Yes. And at least [-]% sure!" Du Wenhao continued to check the injuries of the injured.

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of everyone in the venue changed greatly, both surprised and happy. An old man said in a deep voice: "You are not lying, are you? Xue Langzhong said that there is only a [-]% certainty."

Du Wenhao raised his head and said to Xue Langzhong: "To be honest, if the chest wall is not removed and his lung contusion is treated in time, let alone [-] percent, the injured may not survive tonight's third watch!"

Xue Langzhong's face was a bit uncomfortable. He was a well-known old doctor in the nearby mountain villages, and he was especially good at bruises. He was so ruthless and outspoken by a younger generation, even though Du Wenhao didn't say it directly. , but that's about it.Wen Wen said at the moment: "Brother, is your tone too loud? You said that you don't need to fix it with a splint, so how should you treat it?"

Du Wenhao said: "Immediately remove the splint, treat the lung contusion, and use other methods to set the bone. If there is any delay, I'm afraid my life will be in danger soon!"

Xue Langzhong snorted, cupped his hands and said: "Since Du Xiaoge has this confidence, the old man is incompetent, let the virtuous, you let him treat it, the old man doesn't care!" Walk.

The few people around the door are the family members of the patient. They panicked when they heard this, and hurried over to stop Xue Langzhong: "You, don't go, anyone who doesn't know the four miles and eight villages is you." Your medical skills are the best, and you have to heal this injury!"

The others all echoed in unison, and several people turned their heads and stared at Du Wenhao angrily: "What are you doing?" Dare to teach Miracle Doctor Xue?!" "That's right, hurry up!"

Du Wenhao smiled wryly. These mountain farmers naturally believed in authority. No one would believe him, a passer-by, and he was still young.They didn't draw their fists at each other, which was already quite polite.This is the same situation that I encountered when I first traveled to the Song Dynasty. In fact, it is almost the same now. People who know him and know him all respect him as a miracle doctor, but those who don't know him will still not believe in his medical skills.Just like when I was against Qian Yi and Qian didn't accept master and apprentice.You can only blame yourself for being too young.

Du Wenhao stood up: "A word of persuasion: If the patient has difficulty breathing and is out of breath, remove his fixed splint. Just this sentence, believe it or not! I'm leaving!"

Du Wenhao walked back to the decoction room with his hands behind his back.

Xue Langzhong looked at his back, thoughtful.Under the begging of those people, he finally turned around and continued to treat the wounded person.

The ephedra soup was ready, but the daizhe soup was not ready yet, so Du Wenhao took the ephedra soup back to the eldest princess's room, and saw that the door had been opened, and an old woman was taking bath water outside.Du Wenhao was a little strange, could it be that the eldest princess took a bath after being so skillful?Holding the medicine, she shouted at the door: "Princess, the medicine is ready, take it."

"Bring it in!" The eldest princess' voice came from inside.

Du Wenhao hesitated for a moment, then walked in with a medicine bowl.

The eldest princess is sitting on a wooden chair in front of the window combing her hair.Her hair was long, down to her waist, and wet.

Du Wenhao said: "Princess, have you taken a bath?"

"Ah."

"Then you have to dry your hair quickly, or it will make the condition worse."

"Isn't there you? I'm sick, and you will take care of me." The eldest princess said with a smile without looking back.

Du Wenhao smiled wryly: "The medicine is three-point poisonous. Taking medicine is always bad. Why do you want to get sick on purpose when you are in good health?"

The eldest princess turned around and looked at him with a half-smile: "After taking your medicine, my illness has been cured. Except for the headache, there are no other problems. Besides, I am so dirty! Didn't you see How can you tell me to meet people?"

Du Wenhao walked over and put the medicine bowl on the table: "Hurry up, drink the medicine first. It's for your external cold. The medicine for concussion has not been decocted yet. Wait for a while before taking it." Immediately Walking to the corner of the room, he moved a pot of charcoal fire behind the eldest princess, picked up a dry towel, stood beside her, and helped her dry her hair.

The eldest princess grinned, picked up the medicine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, put down the medicine bowl, and stretched out her hands in front of Du Wenhao without saying a word.

"What are you doing?" Du Wenhao asked.

"Mulberry fruit! I know you still have it in your arms!"

"Hey! Your eyes are really sharp!" Du Wenhao took out two bunches of mulberry fruits from his bosom and put them in the hands of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess took the mulberry fruit, stuffed it into her mouth, and said while chewing: "I know you have to keep it, because you know that you need to decoct it for me. It's very bitter, so you keep the mulberry fruit, right?"

"Ghostly and clever!" Du Wenhao tapped her head lightly with a wooden comb. The two have lived and died together these two days, and they are really as close as siblings.

The eldest princess turned her head and made a grimace, and asked, "The woman said just now that her man is dying, what's going on? Have you gone to see it?"

"Look, he fell from a tree and hurt his ribs and pelvis. They fixed it with a splint, which made it difficult for the injured to breathe. I reminded the doctor, but he didn't listen, and the family members of the patients only recognized him as such. The genius doctor, if you don’t believe me, let me go, otherwise you want me to look good, so I have no choice but to come back.”

The eldest princess frowned and said, "It's true, we can't do nothing like this!"

"Eldest princess, it's not that we're willing to die, it's because they won't let me save her!"

"Find a way!" The eldest princess stood up suddenly: "This is a matter of life and death. Since you believe that their treatment methods are wrong, you can't let them mess around, or they will die! We have to find a way to convince them. You! What are you thinking about?" She lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "By the way, you go and tell them the truth, tell them, I am the eldest princess, and you are the imperial physician of the current emperor."

Du Wenhao smiled bitterly: "What proof do I have?"

"Didn't you wear your royal doctor's fifth-rank official robe under your blouse! And the purple goldfish bag bestowed by my imperial brother! Do they believe it?"

Du Wenhao nodded: "You're right, they don't believe me, don't blame them, no one will easily believe that a stranger can heal their relatives' injuries. I have to find a way to prove my ability, at least Prove yourself and let them know that I can heal their loved ones!"

After all, Du Wenhao took off his blouse in twos and twos. The official robe inside was crumpled and covered with mud, and the official hat with two long wings waving on his head was gone again, and his hair was messed up. Yes, but now I can't take care of it. After tidying up, I walked to the front yard again.

Before he could speak, those people suddenly saw a gentleman coming out of the backyard, wearing an official robe as wrinkled as pickles in a jar, and it was filthy, and it was hung up in several places, a bit like someone throwing it away. The clothes were picked up and worn.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the young man who uttered such wild words just now. Everyone was startled and took several steps back, including Xue Langzhong, who stared at him dumbfounded.

Du Wenhao straightened his official robes, raised his chest and held his head high, took out an adjutant's airs, and coughed lightly: "Everyone, to be honest, I am actually Du Wenhao, the emperor's imperial physician, the girl who was with me just now, She is the younger sister of the current Holy Majesty, Princess Qin!"

Those few people took two steps back, gathered together, stared at Du Wenhao, and no one spoke.

Du Wenhao said again: "I'm revealing my identity, just to let you know that what I said just now is not alarmist talk, but true. If this elder brother is not treated in time and according to the correct method, he will die. As the emperor's imperial physician , you should believe that I have this ability.—Okay, can you let me treat this big brother now?"

The few people glanced at each other, and suddenly walked back to the door panel, bent down and lifted the door panel, before Du Wenhao could react, he had already left the door in a hurry, the woman behind was crying and waved her hands: "It's dead, We're dying."

Du Wenhao was stunned, and looked at Xue Langzhong: "This..., what's going on?"

Xue Langzhong was also a little embarrassed: "This..., this old man went to see if the food is ready. Brother, let's go back to the room and rest first." After finishing speaking, he hurried away without even arching his hands, lowering his head and fleeing.

The yard was originally full of people, but in a short while there were no one left.Du Wenhao chased him a few steps, and ignored Xue Langzhong, he hurriedly turned into the corner of the house and disappeared.

Du Wenhao couldn't figure out what happened, so he spread his hands together: "This..., what's going on here?"

No one answered, so I had to go back to the side room where the medicine was decocted, and sat there, looking at the casserole on the stove, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why these people left suddenly.

After waiting for a while, the medicine on the stove was finally cooked.Only then did he bring it to the eldest princess' room.

The eldest princess has rubbed and dried her hair on the brazier, and is doing her own hairstyle.Seeing Du Wenhao coming in, he said joyfully, "You came just in time. I just did the panning, but I couldn't do it well. Please help me."

Du Wenhao put the medicine in front of her: "Drink the medicine quickly, I don't know how to turn my head, my wife and the girl at home gave me my own head. Or, I'll ask that old woman to help you turn it." ,How about it?"

The eldest princess shook her head and said: "She was so ugly, I just didn't like it, so I removed my own disk. ——Has the elder brother's illness been cured?"

"No! As soon as I showed up and told our identities, everyone ran away. The patient's family members carried the patient away. Xue Langzhong also took an excuse to see if dinner was ready, and hid. What a strange thing."

The eldest princess smiled and said: "I know, they must see that you look like a lunatic, and you are a Wu lunatic who specializes in beating people. They are afraid that you will violently hurt others, so they all ran away."

Du Wenhao patted his robe, looked down: "I, I am so chic, how could I become..., isn't the official robe a little dirty and wrinkled, there is no official hat on my head, and my hair is not combed well. How can it be compared with Madman Wu! Really!"

Even though he said so, he lowered his head and took a good look at himself. It was really weird. No wonder he was frightened.I wondered what to do.How can I find the patient's home? Then I thought about it again. The patient's family members are not willing to let me see a doctor, so I can't force myself to see a doctor.It's fine to put a hot face on someone's cold butt, I'm afraid that people will take it seriously as a Wu lunatic, beat him up, tie him up and send him to the government office, that would be embarrassing.

Du Wenhao said depressingly: "Forget it, don't talk about it, you'd better drink the medicine first, it's for headache."

The eldest princess frowned and drank the medicine. Fortunately, she had left two bunches of mulberry fruits and was reluctant to eat them, so she quickly put the mulberry fruits into her mouth, which stopped the bitter taste in her mouth.

At this time, it was already dark, and Du Wenhao lit the oil lamp.Ever since he was scared away by Du Wenhao's attire, Xue Langzhong has not shown up. There are only two servants in his yard, an old woman and a drug boy.Nowhere to be seen.

After lighting the lamp, the eldest princess and Du Wenhao sat by the stove to warm up, their stomachs rumbling with hunger, and they were embarrassed to ask if the food was ready.

When the two were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, the old woman showed up, and a plate of meals was broken from an old wooden tray. On the round table, there was a plate of bacon and a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks. A bowl of stewed old hen, and a plate of fennel beans.Two bowls of white rice.In addition, there is a cup of white wine and two small wine glasses.

Even though they were all home-cooked dishes, and the old hen was really too old, she couldn't tear off a piece of meat after tearing for a long time, but the two of them were very hungry, so they wolfed down the bowl of white rice first, filling them half full. , This is a toast to drink.

After all, it is a small village in a mountain village, and the wine is also brewed by itself. The craftsmanship is not very good, and it has a slight smell of paste, but the two of them are drinking it now, but it is extraordinarily sweet.

The eldest princess can drink quite well, she drank a few glasses with Du Wenhao, under the oil lamp, her face was flushed, the two of them talked about the dangerous thing of fighting against the sky the night before, they both had lingering fears and felt a little warm.

Speaking happily, Du Wenhao asked the eldest princess about the past in Qinzhou. The eldest princess also talked about some interesting things in the country through the wine, and rarely involved the deceased husband, presumably because she didn't want to touch the pain in her heart.

Du Wenhao also picked up some interesting stories about his diagnosis, and when he talked about the joy, the two laughed heartily, and before they knew it, the pot of wine had already been drunk.He also asked the old woman to ask for a pot.

I was drinking to my heart's content, suddenly, the window slammed twice.Du Wenhao was a little strange, and asked drunkenly, "Who is it?"

There was no answer, and the window slammed a few more times.

Du Wenhao was very curious. He stood up and walked over to open the window, only to see a child squatting under the window, but it was the shepherd boy Dongsheng he met earlier. "Uncle! Run away! They called the arresters to catch you!"

Du Wenhao was taken aback: "Who wants to arrest us?"

"Xue Langzhong them!"

"What?" Du Wenhao was startled, and most of the wine sobered up, "Why did they arrest us?"

"I don't know. I heard them discussing how to go to the county to report, so I ran to the village at Waizao'ao to see if it was true. Just now, I saw a lot of policemen coming from outside the village, and they all held lanterns to fight. Torches, so come here first to tell you, uncle, run away!"

"Okay! Thank you, good boy!" Du Wenhao took out a piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to Dongsheng: "You go!"

Dongsheng didn't answer: "I don't want it! You better run, those arresters are ruthless!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away, quickly disappearing into the night.

Du Wenhao closed the window, turned around and walked back, and said to the eldest princess: "Mr. Xue went to the county seat to report on us, and sent arresters to arrest us. Let's run away.... Why are we running away? We didn't break the law. He paid for his food and medicinal materials in his house, and he paid too much, why did he report to the yamen to send arresters to arrest us?"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "Yeah, why are you running? I'm still tired from walking. Since the county government has come, it's just what I want. They can't walk back to the capital like this. They sent us horses!" "

Du Wenhao shook his head: "No, it's definitely not that simple for Xue Langzhong to 'report' us all of a sudden, there must be a reason for it!"

"What's the reason? Everything was fine before, but you went to reveal your identity. They thought you were a Wu lunatic, so they ran away. They must have come to catch the lunatic."

"Catch the lunatic? Hehe, do you need to go to the county seat to catch the lunatic? A few villagers are enough."

The eldest princess was stunned: "Yes, what is going on?"

Du Wenhao pondered and said: "I think it should be related to the fact that I want to treat the patient who broke his rib. I don't know the specific reason."

"Hey! Don't mind him, soldiers come and flood the water and earth! Drink!" The eldest princess is the emperor's own younger sister. She really hasn't encountered anything that can make her worry. .

The eldest princess is not someone to be easily provoked, so Du Wenhao sat down with his robe lifted, and just waited and watched the excitement.
