"Most of the poisonous blood and pus have been absorbed, but the toxins have already traveled up with the blood."
Sun Simiao looked at the farmer's ankles and said in a deep voice,
"Look at this line."
Xu Fenglei looked in the direction of his finger and saw a purple-brown line rising from the wound, going straight upward.
It's like the poison of Hugugu Mianzhang.
He just touched it lightly, and the farmer almost jumped up in pain.
"Hey! It hurts!"
Tears flashed in the farmer's eyes and his face was distorted.
It seemed like it was extremely painful!
"If this line reaches the torso, it will be difficult for the gods to save it."
Sun Simiao solemnly said,
"Humans don't have strong Qi and blood like tigers, and the detoxification power of the liver is not enough to resolve the poison of vipers."
"I don't have the antidote at hand. The only thing I can do now is..."
He glanced at the farmer's legs.
"Fortunately, it only reaches the calf."
Sun Simiao turned his eyes to the farmer and said in a deep voice,
"Brother, there are only two choices before you now."
"First, I am looking for medicinal materials to detoxify snake venom, but I may not be able to find them. After all, it is very troublesome to find several specific medicines."
"Two, I will immediately amputate your calf and leave the poison on the severed limb to preserve the entire body."
"Time is precious, choose quickly!"
When the farmer heard this multiple-choice question, he was dumbfounded.
"Amputate the leg? No... no! Absolutely not!"
His face turned bitter and he continued,
"The whole family, old and young, depends on me alone to support them... If this leg is gone, how can we go up the mountain to collect herbs or work? It would be the same as death!"
"hiss……"
Enduring the severe pain, he said with difficulty:
"I choose...choose the first one."
Even if there was only a slim hope, even if there was a 80% chance of death, he still wanted to take a gamble.
The main thing is that he also understands in his heart that if his calf is amputated, although he can survive, the mainstay of the family will suddenly become a burden!
This will cause a greater burden to the farmers who are already struggling to make ends meet!
He would rather die than become a useless person and cause trouble to his family...
"……All right."
Sun Simiao pursed his lips and said,
"Just sit still and don't move around. Try to hide under the tree to prevent the poison from attacking faster."
"I will try my best to help you find medicinal materials and save your legs."
After he finished explaining, he was about to turn around when he saw Xu Fenglei taking out a few things from his bag:
Ginger, Huozhezi, moxibustion.
"My master once taught me moxibustion, which can detoxify snake venom."
Xu Fenglei pinched Ai Zhu and said softly,
"I happened to bring them all, let's give it a try."
Sun Simiao frowned slightly when he saw this.
"Moxibustion?"
He said displeasedly,
"Human skin and flesh are the most delicate, and the nature of moxibustion is downward. If we treat the disease with moxibustion, won't the skin be burnt, the flesh will be withered, and the blood will suffocate?"
"I have never believed that moxibustion can cure diseases! Let alone first aid! You..."
Sun Simiao was still talking about the various disadvantages of moxibustion, but he saw that Xu Fenglei had already punched a hole in the ginger slices, pinched the moxa sticks into a small pile, placed it on the small hole in the ginger slices, and then placed it together on the farmer's calf. The front end of the poison line.
With a little fire, the mugwort instantly burned, and a puff of white eyes curled up, sending bursts of strange fragrance.
As the white smoke becomes thicker, the heat of mugwort continues to move downwards, and moxibustion treats the poisonous line.
"hiss……"
The farmer hissed slightly, but the expression on his face was no longer painful, but showed a happy expression.
Sun Simiao was surprised when he saw this, and squatted down to take a closer look.
But I saw that the poisonous thread on the calf shrank by an inch under the fierce attack of mugwort heat!
"Hey, that's weird!"
Old Suntou said in surprise,
"How can moxibustion be so effective? This is the first time I have seen it!"
As a famous doctor, he certainly knows the basic medical common sense that "the disease becomes more serious when it advances from the limbs to the trunk, and becomes less severe when the disease recedes from the trunk to the limbs."
As soon as the poison line recedes, the pain is obviously relieved!
Just as he was marveling, he saw Xu Fenglei strike while the iron was hot, move the ginger piece down, then add a pillar of moxa, and continue the fierce attack!
After reaching ten strong points in a row, the poisonous line was retreating steadily, and finally retreated to the ankle, no longer daring to show its head!
The farmer also took off his "pain mask", relaxed his brows, and carefully turned his ankles.
"Hey! It's better, it's really better, it doesn't hurt anymore!"
When he saw that he could move his feet freely, he immediately beamed with joy and his depression disappeared!
"I won't die for a while now."
Xu Fenglei clapped his hands and said,
"The toxicity has also been reduced a lot. Just find some ordinary snake medicine and you can be back to normal."
He pursed his lips towards Sun Simiao and said with a smile:
"How's it going? Moxibustion isn't as bad as you always said, right?"
"If it is a dead person, the skin and flesh will be charred and rotten by moxibustion. This is because there is no blood to support the body. As long as the person is not dead, the true qi is still there, and the qi and blood naturally circulate, surrounded by the body."
"If you apply a thousand moxibustion treatments, why will you be so burnt?!"
"Master Sun, have you learned this time?"
When Sun Simiao heard this, his eyes were filled with brilliance.
"I learned it, I learned it... No wonder the "Huangdi Neijing" also recommends moxibustion. I thought it was a fallacy in medical books, but now it seems... I haven't studied enough or understood it enough!"
He stroked his beard and said,
"Today's observation shows that moxibustion does have its merits. It seems that I need to study it more in the future."
"Is this what your master taught you?"
Xu Fenglei nodded as if it was a matter of course.
"nature."
Sun Simiao's face suddenly showed admiration.
"I said before that my medical skills are superior to those of your master. It seems that I am overstating myself."
He couldn't help but say,
"Just talking about this moxibustion method, his Taoism is above me."
"From this point of view, your teacher is really a strange person! Is it really true that the mountain doctor is good at fortune-telling and divination? Are there really people in this world who are proficient in everything? I have spent so much effort just studying one medical skill..."
"Listen, can you introduce me to me when you have time? I really want to meet this strange man."
Sun Simiao was so curious.
Could this Xu Fenglei's master be a pioneer like Gui Guzi? !
"It can't be done."
Xu Fenglei shook his head and sighed,
"My teacher became self-taught at the age of 20, became famous all over the world at the age of 30, decided to start teaching classes at the age of 40, and left for the West at the age of 59."
"None of us thought that his life would be so short. With his medical skills... it shouldn't have happened. Ge Yin worked so hard to compile his books and teach his disciples day and night, so that his energy and blood were exhausted, alas..."
Seeing the sadness in Xu Fenglei's eyes, Sun Simiao could only pat him on the shoulder to express comfort.
"In this way, he is truly a great sage in the world."
He solemnly cupped his hands and said,
"Deserves someone's admiration!"
Although I have never met Xu Fenglei's master, I can tell from these words that this person is definitely a great sage!
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to teach his disciples with such painstaking efforts and promote medical knowledge...
"I'd rather... not talk about this anymore."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand, turned his eyes to the farmer, and said with a smile,
"Brother, how do you feel now?"
The farmer immediately knelt down towards Xu Fenglei, kowtowed repeatedly:
"You are truly my savior! You kowtow to your benefactor, kowtow to your benefactor!"
Bang bang bang, the dust is flying!
