"Can this be used as medicine?" In order to see it more clearly, Tan Xu almost put his head into the pot.
"There are records in ancient books that the charcoal medicine made from human hair is called Xueyu."
As Shen Tianshu spoke, he gently took out the remaining blood clip from the pot, broke it in half, showed the side to Tan Xu, and then gently touched each other to let him hear the sound.
"The remaining blood that has been properly heated is light, brittle, and brittle. The cross section is honeycomb-shaped and makes a crisp sound when it touches each other. The finished product is better if it is black, shiny, and light in quality."
"That's it." Tan Xu listened very seriously and took half a piece from Shen Tianshu's hand to observe and understand it carefully.
Shen Tianshu divided the remaining blood in his hand into small pieces and weighed out the weight needed for this medicine.
Seeing Tan Xu's eagerness for knowledge, she explained in detail: "Mr. Zhang can't tell the difference between water and grain now. His illness is in the middle burner, his pulse is stringy and rapid, and he has heat inside.
"Those who are suffering from acute illness caused by damp-heat and exogenous infection should use Pueraria lobata, Huangqi, and Huanglian Decoction. However, because water and grain are not differentiated, and bloody stools have already occurred, using Yuxue can not only help stop bleeding, but also charcoal can absorb excess water, causing To protect the gastrointestinal tract."
Shen Tianshu explained the pharmacology to Tan Xu, and his hands were not idle. He quickly weighed out the other required medicinal materials one by one, put them into the medicine basket and began to boil the medicine.
"Ms. Tong, why don't you go in and rest for a while, and leave the little things like brewing medicine to me!"
Tan Xu felt that he had just learned something new from Shen Tianshu, and upon seeing this, he immediately volunteered to take over the job of brewing the medicine.
Shen Tianshu was still sleepy at this time, he just hoped that tonight would pass as soon as possible.
She shook her head and said, "I'll trouble Dr. Tan to prepare the medicine, and I'll go check out the hospitals with serious illnesses."
Hearing this, Tan Xu consoled him: "Don't worry, Mrs. Tong. I have confirmed it before and ensure that every patient is guarded. If anything goes wrong, someone will call us."
Just when Shen Tianshu was about to say something, he heard the distant sound of gongs at the fifth watch coming from outside.
"Boom--boom, boom, boom, boom!"
Most of the night has passed.
Looking at the dark night outside, Shen Tianshu felt slightly uneasy.
According to experience in previous lives, critically ill patients are most likely to have problems during the period before dawn.
"I can't sleep anyway, so I'd better go for a walk, otherwise I'll always feel uneasy." Shen Tianshu finished speaking and walked out.
Xie Yan immediately followed him, handed the cloak he got from somewhere to Shen Tianshu and said, "It's cold and dewy outside, please put on your cloak, madam!"
"Thank you!" Shen Tianshu didn't refuse. The wind was really strong at night.
After handing the cloak to Shen Tianshu, Xie Yan returned to silence again, holding the lantern a little faster and carefully helping her light the path under her feet.
The decoction that had been given earlier had already taken effect. Shen Tianshu visited several hospitals one after another and found that the patients' conditions had stabilized. The patients who were younger or in good health almost no longer had diarrhea at night |
Everyone who saw Shen Tianshu couldn't help but thank him profusely, and some even cried with joy and couldn't stop crying.
Although Shen Tianshu had been telling them not to worry before, as this was not an epidemic, everyone was still worried.
Now that the patient has improved after taking the medicine, everyone is relieved and completely believes Shen Tianshu's words.
"Before, other doctors were too scared to come to treat us. It's really thanks to Mrs. Tong..."
"Ms. Tong, you are such a good person!"
"Ms. Tong's life-saving grace will be unforgettable by our whole family. If there is anything we need in the future, just give us your orders!"
Shen Tianshu often heard such words in his previous life, but this was the first time in his life.
This familiar feeling made her nose feel a little sore.
After visiting the homes of several elderly and seriously ill people, Shen Tianshu made a special trip to see Gan Yue.
Gao Xiuer was sitting on the bench next to the bed, holding her chin in a daze. She quickly got up when she saw Shen Tianshu coming.
"How is the situation?" Shen Tianshu asked in a low voice.
"After acupuncture and moxibustion, his condition got much better. He fell asleep not long after drinking the medicine, and there was no more vomiting or diarrhea. The slave kept watch, and he slept peacefully. It seems that there is nothing serious. , Madam, just don’t worry.”
"That's good." Shen Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief.
Gan Yue's condition has stabilized. Now his condition is still a little serious. Only Mr. Zhang next door is left.
She walked out of Gan's house, turned around and went next door to check on Mr. Zhang.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhang is in good health. Although the blood in his stool is not serious, it is probably just due to excessive diarrhea and damage to the intestines. At this time, the diarrhea has improved, so the condition is not critical yet.
As long as Tan Xu's medicine is ready and taken, he should feel better soon.
Shen Tianshu felt relieved and prepared to go back to see how the medicine was going.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the Zhang family gate, I heard anxious shouts from the west: "Come quickly! Help! Someone help me find Mrs. Tong and Dr. Tan! Help -"
"What happened?" Shen Tianshu walked quickly in the direction of calling for help.
Xie Yan also hurriedly quickened his pace and stood sideways to protect Shen Tianshu.
An old lady with blood on her hands ran out of the alley in panic and was about to pounce on Shen Tianshu when she saw her.
Xie Yan, with quick eyesight and quick hands, stopped him and asked, "What's the matter?"
When the old lady saw this, she knelt down with a plop and began to kowtow desperately.
"Ms. Tong, my daughter-in-law is having a difficult delivery, please save her!"
"Old man, get up quickly." Shen Tianshu stretched out his hand to help the old lady up. "The difficult delivery is an urgent matter. There is no need to delay. I will come with you to take a look!"
The old lady's forehead was bleeding from the blow. She stood up and didn't care about slapping the dirt on her body. She grabbed Shen Tianshu's wrist, turned around and walked quickly into the alley.
"Ms. Tong, my home is right here."
Xie Yan hurriedly picked up the lantern and followed the two of them.
By the light of the lantern, Shen Tianshu glanced at the old lady subconsciously, and suddenly felt that something was not right.
She suddenly stopped and said: "Oh, look at my memory, I didn't even take the medicine box, so what's the use of going empty-handed! Old man, don't worry, I'll go back and get the medicine box first."
When the old lady heard this, she did not let go. Instead, she gripped Shen Tianshu's wrist harder and harder.
"Ms. Tong, please come with me first and have a look. Just ask this gentleman to get the medicine box."
Shen Tianshu's wrist hurt from being pinched by her, and the suspicion in his heart instantly increased from five points to seven points.
She quickly winked at Xie Yan and said, "He doesn't know medical skills, so he doesn't know what medicinal materials to bring. The Tan family's old house is not far from here. I'll be back soon. I won't delay things!"
"But……"
The old lady didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing that the entrance of the alley was already in front of her, she suddenly exerted her strength and prepared to drag Shen Tianshu directly into the alley.
