Chapter 288 Acupuncture Relieves Asthma Symptoms
After the villain got cowpox, he didn't have any serious adverse reactions. He had a slight fever, but the symptoms were very mild.This is not the same as the reaction of ordinary people after getting smallpox.

Under normal circumstances, people who have smallpox will have high fever symptoms, and other symptoms are also obvious. There is no need to see a doctor. Ordinary people can conclude that they have smallpox after seeing those symptoms.

At noon that day, Wang Ping'an ordered people to take the villain into the yard, and carefully observe the blisters on his hands under the sun. Li Ji, Di Renjie and the others also gathered around to watch.

Wang Ping'an was very serious, checked the villain's symptoms very carefully, and used a knife to take out some acne paste from the blister on his hand, and put it in a clean small porcelain plate.

This villain has been tortured for the past few days, and he can no longer bear it psychologically. Being killed is terrible, but the waiting before being killed is even more terrible!In the past few days, he ate and drank hard, sang loudly after eating and drinking, and sometimes even became hysterical!
Of course, as soon as he goes crazy, the soldiers' whips will fall on him, fearing that he will be beaten to death, and they often bandage his wounds after each severe whipping. As a result, this villain suffers even more. Unhealed, minor injuries recurred!

When Wang Pingan was extracting the pox paste, they were afraid that he would suddenly go crazy, so the soldiers tied him up and put a cloth in his mouth to prevent him from biting!
Wang Pingan ordered someone to remove the cloth from the villain's mouth, and hid himself back. He was also afraid that the villain would suddenly explode, so he asked, "How do you feel, do you have a headache?"

The villain said, "It hurts!"

Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "It's unlikely that you have a headache, you don't have a high fever, and seeing that you are conscious, how can you have a headache?"

The villain suddenly yelled loudly: "I was beaten so painfully, they beat me every day, can't you see?"

Xiang Tu snorted, and said, "When you beat your biological father, did you ever think about whether your father was in pain? So what if you beat you, what's the use of screaming, be careful next time you beat you with a whip dipped in salt water!"

Wang Pingan said again: "Does your throat hurt? Well, seeing how powerful you are shouting, it must be painless. Are your limbs sore?"

The villain shouted again: "It hurts, if you were bound like this, would it hurt?"

"That means it doesn't hurt before it's tied!" Wang Pingan nodded and said, "You don't have symptoms of vomiting or loose stools, I've observed them all!"

Standing up, he said to Xiang Tu: "Put this person back, don't beat him to death directly, it's still useful to keep him."

Xiang Tu said: "Then do we need to give him food and drink again?"

Wang Ping'an thought for a while, and said, "It's enough to eat normally, and there is no need for special care. Also, don't let him commit suicide. I think he was emotionally unstable, and he might not be able to bear the shock, so he died on his own."

Xiang Tu agreed, and ordered people to throw the villain back into the house.Wang Pingan ordered them to bring out two more condemned prisoners.

Unlike the villain, the rest of the death row prisoners still had a sense of luck, thinking that if the villain was at the bottom, maybe they would be able to prove themselves and they would not be needed.They all heard that smallpox was obtained from cattle and planted on humans. This is too scary, even scarier than being beheaded.Beheading is just one knife, and it can be done in the blink of an eye, without even feeling the pain, but the smallpox of the cow will not work, it will be very painful!
No one knows what kind of pain method it is, the less you know, the more afraid you are!
The soldiers pulled out two death row prisoners. After they were pulled out of the cell, the two death row prisoners cried loudly, screamed for mercy, and lay dead on the ground. to the yard!
Many people onlookers were present, not only those in the courtyard, but also those outside the courtyard, those scholars who came voluntarily, and ordinary people. Seeing the expressions of these two people crying loudly, all of them could not bear the expression on their faces.

Some people asked: "What crime did they commit? Do they have to die?"

A soldier who was dragging a death row prisoner glanced at the questioner and said, "They are father and son. They raped and murdered a widowed woman and her daughter who was less than ten years old. Do you think they deserve to die?"

The expressions of sympathy on the faces of the scholars and the common people disappeared in an instant, and they shouted together: "Damn, this kind of person must not be allowed to live in this world, he should be hacked into pieces!"

Several soldiers came together and pushed the father and son to the ground, with their arms exposed, waiting for Wang Pingan to operate on them!

Wang Pingan sighed to the father and son: "If I knew today, why bother. You begged so hard today, but have you ever thought that when you hurt someone back then, did the mother and daughter beg you so hard? Do evil, you cannot live!"

This kind of villain has nothing to sympathize with.Wang Pingan took the knife, cut a cut on each of their arms, applied the pox paste to the wound, and then pressed the knife for a while, then said: "The two of them should be sentenced to death, right?"

Xiang Tu shook his head and said, "It's not about beheading Lijue, it's about beheading after autumn, it's different from that villain before!"

Wang Pingan said: "Then their fear will be stronger than that of the last person. Tie them up and stuff their mouths to prevent them from chewing their tongues and committing suicide!"

With a promise, Xiang Tu finds a separate hut for the father and son villains who have been paralyzed from fright, and throws them in for custody.

The onlookers felt that what Wang Pingan was doing now, combined with the performance of the previous three people, was quite terrifying, and some even retreated.

A scholar asked: "Master, if ordinary people get smallpox, as long as they can survive, they still have a chance to survive, but if they get smallpox from cattle, will they definitely die?"

Wang Pingan took a look at this scholar, but couldn't remember who he was, but from the title of the two characters, mentor, he could understand that he was on the list.This person was able to reform himself and come to Shikeng Village to help, which proves that his nature is not evil. He asked this question, obviously out of fear, but fear is human nature and cannot be used to test a person's moral character.

Wang Pingan said softly: "Don't be afraid. In fact, although cowpox is smallpox, it is much milder than smallpox that people get. The purpose of our demonstration this time is to prove that people will not get it again after they get smallpox like cowpox. Worse smallpox."

In fact, this kind of explanation, whether it is the officials or Wang Pingan himself, has repeatedly told them, but everyone is still afraid. After all, getting the plague helplessly, and going to get the plague on their own initiative are two completely different things. It is normal to be afraid , Those who are not afraid are not normal!

Of course, there are those who are not afraid, exceptions will always exist.The one who is not afraid is Huizheng. His thinking is completely different from ordinary people. Not only is he not afraid, but he is also very happy, and even wants to get smallpox sooner.Of course, even if he has smallpox, it is still the worst kind. If he dies, before he swallows his last breath, he will think that the gods and Buddhas summoned him, that his merits and virtues are complete, and he can go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss; Then he will think that it is the gods and Buddhas who let him stay in the world, teach the scriptures and teach the world, and get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible!

But the scholars and common people were still very afraid. They thought very simple at first. The scholars just thought that they could pass this test and add glory to their future official careers, while the slaves wanted to become good family members. They are no longer being treated like livestock, but ordinary people, they want to get the land, so that they can eat their stomachs from now on!
However, many people were shaken after seeing how the father and son were crying.If you think about it, if you do it, you usually say that you are not afraid of death. It doesn’t matter what death is, but if death is right in front of you, and the time can be predicted, then very few people will not be afraid!

A scholar swallowed his saliva, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is still a high hall in the villain's family. I am the only son in the family. A few days ago, I got hot-headed, so I participated in the dialectical examination. Before the official start, I can Quit? My family has parents, waiting for me to go back and take care of them!"

In the affairs of the world, I am afraid that someone will take the lead. If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be a series.If this scholar knows how to be a man and say this behind his back, no matter whether it is Wang Ping'an or Li Ji, he will let him go secretly with a sigh, and he can't be forced to do something!
But when he said it in public, other scholars and common people also shouted and asked to withdraw. They dared not participate in the debate, and the more they shouted, the more fierce they became!

Wang Ping'an was upset, you all came voluntarily, no one forced you to come.This matter is dangerous. I made it clear at the beginning, I even tied a hemp rope around my waist, let alone you?
Think clearly before doing it, and stick to it after doing it!
Before Wang Pingan could say anything, Li Ji became angry. He disliked such inconsistency the most. This is in the civil society. If he was in the army, he would run away and be beheaded. Because of this kind of thing, I can't remember how many people's heads have been beheaded, and I have never been soft-hearted!This is the most intolerable thing for a general!
Li Ji said angrily: "Shut up, it's unreasonable! You all came when the benefits were offered to you. Now that the discrimination has not officially started, you have to withdraw. There is no such cheap thing in the world. You are not allowed to withdraw. Anyone who withdraws will be served by swords and axes." !"

However, this is not in the army, and he is not facing soldiers. When he shouted, the scholars and the common people were immediately blown up!Is it possible that many people will die in this dialectical examination?
Some scholars shouted: "I came voluntarily, and now I want to leave voluntarily. Why stop me? Is there any law for the king!"

"I want to go out of the mountains, I didn't do it voluntarily, you arrested me!" Many slaves cried, talking nonsense, dying is worse than living, being a slave is better than dying!

But ordinary people shouted: "We don't want the fields anymore, we have to leave, we have to leave!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic!
Li Ji was so angry that when he got angry, he coughed even worse. At this time, he couldn't hold it back anymore, he coughed violently, had difficulty breathing, covered his chest with his hands, staggered, and was about to fall to the ground!
Seeing him like this, Wang Ping'an became anxious immediately. He forced himself to suppress the anxiety in his heart, stepped forward to support Li Ji, helped him to sit down on a big rock nearby, and shouted: "Don't panic, stay calm! Mr. Li, You must not get angry, keep your mind, you must keep your mind!"

It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to stabilize your mind!Li Ji was panting and wheezing, sweating profusely, and the muscles on his face were twisted in pain!
The scholars and the common people were also frightened. They were not in a hurry, and there was always a solution, but Li Ji in front of him was so angry with them. If he was angry to death, then they don't have to be afraid I was inoculated with cowpox, so I still think about whether I will be buried as a martyr!
Xiang Tu just felt dizzy, it was over, if something happened to General Li, not only would his future be cut off, but he would also suffer a lot of punishment, maybe he would be dispatched to the border, that would be his life Yes!
He quickly drew out the horizontal knife in his waist, and Xiang Tu shouted: "Brothers, come forward and see who dares to scream again, and kill him on the spot!" and the people!

Immediately, no one spoke. The common people panicked and looked at Li Ji, while the scholars looked at each other, not only trembling, but also trembling in their hearts!

Wang Pingan supported Li Ji, and said loudly: "You can do it, Mr. Li, you can do it. Now you think, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it..."

He kept calling me to do it, and Li Ji was also thinking desperately in his heart, I can do it, I can do it... The excitement finally eased a little, and the pain is no longer so severe!

Wang Pingan turned around and shouted: "Danruo, Lianwu, go get my needles, have you brought them?"

The two little girls were standing in the yard, their faces were pale, and they were both terrified. When they heard that Wang Ping'an asked for needles, they hurried out of the yard to get the needles.This time I came to Shikeng Village with my luggage. Wang Pingan did not lack any medical equipment, and he brought all of them!

Wang Pingan said to Li Ji: "Master Li, I breathe like I do. First relax the whole body, then exhale through the mouth, and then inhale through the nose, like me... yes, that's it! Puff up your stomach when you breathe...yes, relax, don't panic, breathe evenly, slowly, sink your breath into your dantian...okay, yes, look, you won't be panting too badly if you breathe like this!"

The breathing method he mentioned is called abdominal breathing, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of asthma attacks. Li Ji tried it, and it really worked, and the symptoms were relieved!

Not long after, the two little girls brought the needles and handed them to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an said to Li Ji: "Master Li, you have frequent attacks of this disease, I have seen it twice, always procrastinating is not an option!"

He took out the seven-star needle, also known as the children's needle, which is called the skin needle in modern times, the plum-blossom needle made up of five needles, and the seven-star needle made up of seven needles.Wang Pingan quickly sterilized the needles with moxa, and used the needles for Li Ji.

Wang Pingan tapped Li Ji's thenar and forearm hand Taiyin lung meridian circulation with seven-star needles for about a quarter of an hour. At this time, Li Ji's symptoms had obviously improved. The thick phlegm was spit on the ground!
Wang Ping'an untied Li Ji's shirt, and then used the seven-star needle to tap Li Ji's sternum muscles, which took another quarter of an hour.

At this time, Li Ji's symptoms were almost healed, and acupuncture and moxibustion were very effective, and the relief effect was very obvious.

Li Ji let out a long sigh of relief, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you press the old man's feet this time?"
