Song Yi

Chapter 4
Xue Fei'er couldn't help smiling when she heard him call her beauty.

Subconsciously looked down at his figure, well, curvy, although just developed, but not bad, the word beauty, worthy of it.

She looked at Du Wenhao with a smile: "You are Doctor Ling? Then why are you empty-handed?"

Du Wenhao smiled awkwardly: "I... I met thieves on the road and stole all my food."

"Really? Do you really know how to cure boils?"

"Try it, and then you'll know."

Xue Fei'er curled her mouth: "Try someone else's child? You are so generous!"

"No, the beauty misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I mean, as soon as an expert stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one. If you don't give me a chance to stretch out your hand, how do you know that I can't cure it?"

Xue Fei'er saw that he was confident, so she didn't dare to underestimate him, so she slowed down her tone: "Then how much consultation fee do you want? The ugly thing is that the mother and daughter are poor and have little money."

Du Wenhao glanced at Lin Qingdai in the lobby, coughed lightly, and looked compassionate: "People who study medicine should save lives and heal the wounded, let alone a child, poor, I don't charge money, I will do it for free. He heals!"

"Oh?" Xue Fei'er sized up Du Wenhao again, "Really don't want money?"

"A man speaks like a mountain!" Du Wenhao puffed out his chest, assuming a dignified posture.

"Okay! But I won't let you be treated in vain. You really want to be cured. We have a lot of people in the inn, and we can't guarantee all those who are sick. Then I will introduce you to you for treatment and earn some money to buy your doctor's outfit. How about it?" ?”

"Thanks a lot! It's just..."

"what happened?"

"I don't need to charge for seeing a doctor, but I need medicine to treat a disease, and the money for the medicine..."

Lin Qingdai said: "I'll give you the medicine."

Xue Feier smiled: "Thank you sister!"

"You little girl! Do you think I don't know your evil intentions? You know that Dr. Chai came home in the first watch, and now you come to my pharmacy to look for him in the second watch, isn't that why?"

Xue Fei'er stuck out her tongue: "I know my sister has a good heart, alas, this child is pitiful, if it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to care about it."

"Well, let's go see a doctor quickly."

Xue Fei'er took Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai out of the pharmacy, and came to the "Hengxiang Inn" diagonally opposite.

This inn is relatively good in the county town, but most of the people who live there are traveling merchants. After entering the lobby, there are a few lanterns hanging inside, but they still cannot illuminate the entire floor. Most of them are hidden in the In the dark, people feel a little depressed.

The upper floor is the upper room, the downstairs is the bunk, and the row of bungalows in the Mumayuan behind is the ground floor, which is the cheapest place to live.

Walking past a row of stables in the backyard, hearing the sound of mules and horses kicking their noses, and the pungent smell of latrines not far away, Du Wenhao couldn't help but wanted to cover his nose, but seeing the two women's expressions remained unchanged, it was obvious that they were very interested in this This smell has long been taken for granted. Remembering that ancient towns did not have modern and complete sewage facilities, the sanitation conditions are just like this. You still have to get used to it as soon as possible.

Walk to a row of low bungalows at the back, push open the door, inside is a large room, a long row of bunks full of people sleeping, some snoring and sleeping soundly, some are leaning on the bunk chatting in a low voice, some The woman is breastfeeding the baby with her back on her back.Several children are playing around.

On the floor near the door, a young woman in shabby clothes was hugging a baby tightly, humming a little tune in a low voice, but the baby was crying at the top of its voice, the voice was shrill and hoarse, which made one's heart palpitate.Seeing someone coming in, the young woman looked up anxiously, seeing Xue Fei'er and several people behind her, she immediately showed joy.

"That's the child!" Xue Fei'er said to Du Wenhao, walked over and knelt down, and said to the young woman: "Eldest sister, I hired a doctor Ling to see the child, there is no fee for the consultation."

"Thank you! Thank you girl, thank you doctor!" The young woman knelt up on the bed and handed the swaddling baby in her arms to Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao took it, let go of the bed, unwrapped the swaddle, exposed the baby's skinny body, lifted the baby's calf, and saw a big abscess growing on the little buttocks. white wave.

After Du Wenhao took the child's pulse, he said to Xue Fei'er and Lin Qingdai: "The child's abscess is caused by summer boils, which are caused by the accumulation of damp heat and heat on the skin, resulting in blockage of meridians and stagnation of Qi and blood. This abscess is very toxic. The decoction can no longer cure the abscess, and the abscess must be cut open to draw out the abscess, and the rotten skin tissue inside must be scraped off, but my food has been robbed, can you lend me a small knife?"

"Huh?" The two girls looked at each other in surprise.

This surprise is normal.

The knowledge of ancient surgery is far behind that of internal medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine surgery only treats some carbuncles and furuncles, and generally adopts conservative treatment with drugs, and seldom undergoes surgical drainage.

The main reason was that there was no knowledge of microbes such as bacteria and germs at that time, and they did not know how to prevent surgical infection. A minor operation would often cause serious infection and cause the death of the patient.

In this case, the doctor can only choose conservative treatment.

In addition, there is no good way to solve the problems of surgical bleeding, anti-shock and maintaining water and electrolyte balance, which restrict the development of ancient surgical operations.

So the two daughters heard Du Wenhao say that they needed surgery. Both of them knew some common sense of medicine, especially Lin Qingdai, who was the female shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

Doctor Ling didn't know if he had this ability, so he was a little hesitant.

This kind of minor surgery is a piece of cake for Du Wenhao.

The University of Medicine and Science he works in is a pilot unit for the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine, which pays great attention to the treatment of various common diseases with the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine. Du Wenhao has learned it all.

In addition, he has a foundation in traditional Chinese medicine, and after guest clinical practice in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, it is easy to treat this kind of boils.

Seeing their expressions, Du Wenhao knew their worries, and thought that he had to show his confidence to the two of them before agreeing to perform this minor operation on the child, and immediately said: "The child is in severe pain, I will relieve the pain first. , do you have a gold needle?"

Of course, the needles used in ancient acupuncture cannot be stainless steel silver needles. They are generally made of brass, so they are called gold needles.

Lin Qingdai hurriedly said: "It's in the store, I'll get it! Do you need any medicine? I'll prepare it in advance."

Du Wenhao thought for a while and said: "Sophora flavescens, Phellodendron phellodendri, Eucalyptus eucalyptus, and Fructus Cnidii are five cents each, and decocted in water. In addition, rhubarb, scutellaria, Phellodendron phellodendron, gardenia, and silver flower are also decocted with water. The two decoctions Filter them all with gauze and bring the soup."

Traditional Chinese medicine disinfectants can avoid the side effects of western medicine chemical disinfectants, and play the advantages of antibacterial, antiviral and small side effects of Chinese herbal medicines.

"Okay!" Lin Qingdai agreed.

"Also, use Coptis chinensis and Nymphony chinensis for five qian each, mash it up, and soak it in Shaodaozi wine."

This is mainly used for placing drainage strips sensitive to germs in surgical wounds.

According to regulations, it should be soaked in alcohol for half a month, but now it is too late, and there is no place to find alcohol, so I can only make do with it.

Lin Qingdai nodded and hurried away.

Xue Feier asked, "What am I doing?"

"Ask the girl to prepare a pot of boiled warm water and a teaspoon of salt, some clean gauze and a small ball of cotton."

"Okay!" Xue Fei'er also left in a hurry, and after a while, she came back with a basin of water, gauze, and a small tube of golden needles.

After a while, Lin Qingdai also came with a bowl of medicine: "The soup and medicine are ready."

Du Wenhao wiped the affected part of the child's buttocks and the parts that needed pricking with Sophora flavescens soup, took the golden needle, tore off a piece of cotton, dipped it in the medicine, and gently wiped the golden needle to disinfect it.

He felt that the golden needle made of brass was too soft to use it well. He didn't have the ability to use internal energy to harden the soft golden needle, so he had to use the clamping method to insert the needle.

He wrapped the front part of the gold needle with medicinal cotton, aimed at the spinous process of the sixth thoracic vertebra of the child's governor vessel, and quickly inserted the needle with his right hand, then gently pushed it in, gently twisted it for a while, and left the needle.

The same method was used to insert the needle at the Houxi Hegu area of ​​the child, and the needle was retained after getting angry.

After a while, the severe pain of the boils eased, and the child's crying became quieter, sobbing. Gulu turned his bright black eyes to look at this and that, obviously regaining his energy.

The child stopped crying, but the young woman was so excited that she burst into tears and looked at Du Wenhao gratefully.

Both Xue Fei'er and Lin Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and looked at Du Wenhao with some approval in their eyes.

Du Wenhao said: "Please prepare a small knife and a few pairs of new unused chopsticks, and boil them in boiling water for later use. Then use some clean small pieces of gauze to steam in a steamer for later use."

Xue Fei'er hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Are you really going to have the surgery?"

"The furuncle has festered and must be drained with a knife. It can't be cured by decoction. Don't worry, the doctor's parents love me, I will never take the patient's life as a trifling matter."

Xue Fei'er and Lin Qingdai glanced at each other again, but couldn't make up their minds for a while.
