Chapter 59 See Acupuncture
When the doctor came, everyone hurriedly gathered around the old doctor, explained his condition, and asked him to get up and treat the little baby quickly.
Sitting on the horse, the old man's bones almost fell apart due to the horse's jolt, but he knew that saving people was a big job, so the old man did not bother to rest and was busy with the treatment.
Everyone gathered together and arrived at Liu Bei's military tent.
Everyone held torches, and the tent was illuminated brightly.
After the old man sat down, the peasant woman brought the baby in. The old man rolled up his sleeves, touched the baby's forehead, put his hand into the baby's swaddling clothes, felt the baby's belly, and felt the spleen and stomach to see if there was any abnormality and whether it was a disease of the spleen and stomach.
When the old man saw that the baby was swaddled and the material was silk, he immediately made a guess in his mind.
This must be a big shot's baby, and it needs to be treated carefully. If it can't be treated well, it may be life-threatening.
The old doctor quickly checked the baby's condition and called the baby's mother to ask if the baby had diarrhea today or had vomiting.
The peasant woman said nothing.
The diagnostic techniques of traditional Chinese medicine include the four methods of listening, speaking, asking, and cutting. After asking the old doctor, he was already 70% sure about the disease.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, the old man took out a piece of white linen cloth from his baggage. He stretched the linen cloth and found a row of fine needles stuck side by side in it.
Acupuncture.
Li Mengxi could tell at a glance.
Li Mengxi was also curious about how the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners of the Han Dynasty could use acupuncture to treat the high fever.
The needles were pulled out one by one.
Before performing acupuncture, the old man first picked out about seven or eight herbs from the baggage, among the many half-medicines he had brought with him.
There were herbs, sticks, wood pieces, flowers, and fruits. Li Mengxi was fascinated by them, but he didn't recognize any of them.
"Add two bowls of water to this medicine, boil it into a bowl, and give it to the patient."
The medicine was finally available. Before Liu Bei went to get the medicine, the short-haired witch doctor found among the rebel prisoners came to the side, took the medicine, and went to boil the medicine.
This person is still a prisoner, but he still has some eyes.
Li Mengxi wanted to see how to prepare medicine, but also wanted to see how acupuncture was administered. After hesitating for a moment, it was more fun to see acupuncture.
The baby was taken out of the swaddling clothes, and the old man asked the baby's mother to hold the baby down and make the baby lie on its side.
Then, the old man twisted the needle and pricked the baby's cervical spine slightly lower, and inserted the silver needle.
The second needle is to prick the baby's chest.
As the needle penetrated, the old man's eyes were steady. Although his hands were thin, they were as strong as old pine trees and did not shake at all.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and gently twisted the silver needle with his hand. To Li Mengxi's surprise, the baby didn't cry.
When acupuncture is applied to the body, adults can tolerate the pain, but babies cannot tolerate pain and will cry at the slightest pain.
However, if the baby does not cry, what does it mean? It means that acupuncture does not hurt.
The acupuncture does not hurt, which is amazing.
Li Mengxi couldn't help but want to take a shot to see if it hurt or not.
After applying the acupuncture for about ten minutes, the old man pulled out the acupuncture.
Li Mengxi couldn't help but be curious, and stepped forward to touch the little baby's feet.
When I touched it with my hand, I unexpectedly found that the baby's body temperature had dropped a lot, although it was still slightly hot.
Li Mengxi glanced at the old man in surprise.
The old man smiled and nodded towards Li Mengxi, "Old man, I have administered acupuncture to temporarily drive away the heat poison. After the medicine is ready, feed a bowl of medicine, cover yourself with a quilt at night, and sweat all night. You may be cured by tomorrow morning."
I invited him to see the doctor. After he had finished the treatment, Liu Bei stood up and said that he was disturbing the old man in the middle of the night. He asked the old man to stay in the army tonight and send him back early tomorrow morning.
The old man had no choice but to listen to Liu Bei's arrangements.
The old man came to the army and was unfamiliar with the place, so he was bound to be cautious. Liu Bei and the old man stood aside and talked with him.
"Second brother, come here to get the money." Liu Bei called to Guan Yu to get the money.
The old doctor quickly stopped him, "You can't do it, you can't do it! The general had already given you money when you came."
"Hey, when you come back, you pay for your travel expenses. This is your reward."
Liu Bei held the old man's hand and patted the old man's hand to comfort him.
Liu Bei has such charm and his words are convincing.
After a few words, the old man became less reserved.
If it were Guan and Zhang, the old man would not dare to accept any more money.
Not long after, Guan Yu came over, holding a large circle of copper coins in his hand.
What Li Mengxi thought was a big circle should actually be a circle.
Always money.
Liu Bei stood up, took the copper coins, put his hands on the old man's hands, "Old man, please keep the money."
After a trip, he got a lot of money, and the old man couldn't help being happy.
While talking, I heard the sound of horse hooves again.
Li Mengxi immediately looked outside the tent, and so did Guan Yu.
I'm afraid other cavalrymen may have brought doctors back with them.
Just as he was thinking about this, Guan Yu walked out of the tent.
After a while, Guan Yu arrived with a middle-aged doctor.
This middle-aged man actually seemed to know the old man. When they saw each other, they were surprised.
"Ah, uncle, are you here too?" The middle-aged man was surprised.
The old doctor introduced him to the kind-faced Liu Bei, saying that he was a distant relative.
The doctor came only after the patient was cured. The doctor who came back later was actually a little embarrassed.
Liu Bei was a worldly person, so he was afraid of embarrassing the doctors, so he first spoke in a nice way.
"Just in time, sir, I'm here too. Our army is short of doctors, so I invite you all to come.
Please work hard and take a look at it for everyone in our army."
The boss has spoken, so there is no disrespect.
Liu Bei's move seemed to be to find work for the two doctors, but in fact, it was to take care of the face of the later doctor.
Liu Bei was about to lead the doctor to find a dozen or eight people to come over and watch the soldiers. His younger brother pulled Li Mengxi's hand.
"Brother, I'm sleepy." The younger brother rubbed his eyes.
Li Mengxi said goodbye to Liu Bei and others, and took his brother to bed.
Li Mengxi no longer sleeps on the grain cart, but sleeps in the Chinese army's tent. Liu, Guan, and Zhang sleep next to each other in the tent.
He had to undress his younger brother and cover him with a quilt to sleep. He touched his younger brother's body with his hand. He didn't feel it when he held his hand. Now that his hand touched his younger brother's back, Li Mengxi felt that his younger brother's body was getting hot.
Li Mengxi was suddenly startled, and hurriedly went to see his brother again, and found that his brother was wheezing, his breathing was slightly heavy, and his spirit was obviously listless.
Li Mengxi panicked and touched his brother's forehead.
Suffer!
Got a fever!
When he touched it with his hand, his brother's forehead felt hot, and Li Mengxi panicked.
"Little brother, tell me, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Li Mengxi exclaimed.
His voice was so loud that everyone in the tent looked at him.
"Xuan Degong, my brother is sick!" Li Mengxi was so anxious that he lost his attention.
"Don't panic!" Liu Bei stood up and pointed at the two idle doctors, "There is a good doctor here!"
Li Mengxi was stunned, and then suddenly remembered, didn't this doctor just arrive?
Li Mengxi was a little relieved and relieved.
"Thank you, you two!" Liu Bei handed over to the two doctors.
The two doctors returned the favor and immediately came to diagnose and treat Xiaozhuan's pulse.
Li Mengxi couldn't sit still. Although he knew that doctors in the late Han Dynasty were also capable of curing diseases, Li Mengxi was still afraid of what would happen if they couldn't cure him.
Li Mengxi still thought of alcohol.
