Gong Xiao raised his hand towards Li Man'er and said, "Miss Li, can you cure the general's poison?"
"It's a small matter. As long as you have all the medicinal ingredients, you can detoxify it quickly. And the amount of poison is not large. It won't kill the general in a moment. You can rest assured."
Gong Xiao thanked her again, but then said: "I have something unclear, and I want to ask Miss Li for advice."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Ordinary people who are poisoned will either vomit incessantly, or become comatose, vomit blood, etc. My general's lip color is the same, and he has no other symptoms. He only has leg pain. This..."
The implication is that poisoning will not trigger Xiao Rudi's old injuries.
"There is no medicine in the world that is absolutely harmful to people, and there is no medicine that can definitely cure people. Some medicines, although they are poisons, can save people if used correctly, but can harm people if used incorrectly. In this world, there are ways to fight poison with poison, and there are also ways to reinforce and inhibit each other. Once poisons are used,
If it enters the mouth and enters the internal organs, it will hurt the lungs and spleen, and damage the heart and arteries. It bullies the weak and fears the strong, and specializes in picking out the lesions. Do you understand what I say?"
Gong Xiao didn't know much about it and said, "Please ask the girl to help me clear up my doubts."
"No time." Li Man'er said, "If you continue to ask, I'm afraid it will be too late to save people."
Xiao Qiniang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Gong, it's better to detoxify my father first."
Gong Xiao finally realized, "It's not mine, please, girl."
Li Man'er said: "Seal these medicine residues first, and carry the mouse down first. There should not be too many people in the room. Prepare hot water and clean towels. I want to bleed General Xiao and detoxify."
This time, no one questioned her.
Soon, everything she wanted was put out.
Li Man'er asked Gong Xiao to take off Xiao Rudi's shirt, first sealed several large acupoints on his body, and then inserted needles into the tips of his ten fingers to release the poisonous blood.
The blood dripping from the fingertips is indeed dark, which doesn't look normal.
Li Man'er looked at it twice, then sped up the bleeding on her hands. It wasn't until the blood dripping from Xiao Rudi's fingertips returned to normal color that she stopped the bleeding for Xiao Rudi and asked someone to put a hot towel on him.
of injured leg.
"This can relieve pain and relax his muscles." Li Man'er said: "In addition to acupuncture and taking medicine, regular massage on his legs is also very effective."
Gong Xiao and Xiao Qiniang both listened very carefully.
"You should use a hot towel before massaging..." Li Man'er explained many precautions before removing Xiao Rudi's needle.
"Liu Ya, this needle needs to be sterilized and boiled in boiling water. Then soak it in spirits and dry it in the sun before it can be used again."
"Yes, this slave knows." Liu Ya wrapped all the used silver needles in cloth and put them away.
Xiao Qiniang looked at her father's face and asked eagerly: "Sister Man'er, is my father okay?"
"It was discovered in time and treated properly, and the poison has been cured. However, Aconitum is also very powerful. Just in case, I suggest you take some detoxifying medicine and drink it for three days."
It is very auspicious to drink this medicine until New Year's Eve.
But there is no other way. You can't even take medicine just for the sake of luck. If something happens, who can afford it?
"Okay, please ask Sister Man'er to prescribe a prescription, and we'll have someone pick up the medicine."
A maid brought a pen and paper, and Li Maner quickly started writing the recipe, while also explaining a few things to note.
Xiao Qiniang thanked her profusely and handed the prescription to Gong Xiao, "Uncle Gong, I don't know which one is trustworthy at the moment. I have to trouble you to handle this matter in person."
Gong Xiao took the prescription and said, "The seventh girl is serious. This is my responsibility. But the general is in such a situation that he can't live without people around him. Please ask the girl to take care of you here. I will ask the guards to protect the general."
Don’t worry, girl.”
Xiao Qiniang nodded, "Uncle Gong is thoughtful, please go and come back soon."
Gong Xiao cupped his hands, took the prescription and left the house.
At this time, there were only the unconscious Xiao Rudi, Li Maner, Xiao Qiniang and Liu Ya left in the room.
"Miss Xiao Qi, I don't have anything to do here, so I'll go back first."
However, Xiao Qiniang stood up and stopped her and said: "Sister Man'er, I'm scared. Can you sit with me for a while? Besides, when the medicine is brought back later, you have to see it in person, so that I can rest assured that my father can
Take it. If there is something wrong with the medicine, we won’t know.”
Li Maner smiled and said, "Miss Qi is really filial, so I'll follow you." She sat back down again.
Liu Ya carried the medicine box on her back and followed Li Man'er closely, fearing what Xiao Qiniang might do.
Xiao Qiniang's reaction was quite normal. She kept staring at Xiao Rudi, as if expecting him to wake up soon.
"Miss Xiao Qi is really filial."
Xiao Qiniang looked lonely, "How can I be filial? I can't replace my father with my body, and I can't relieve my father's pain. I'm just following along and letting my sister see the joke."
"How could it be possible? Miss Xiao Qi has a sincere heart, I think the general can appreciate it."
While they were talking, someone brought tea cakes and tea into the room. They clearly served tea to Li Man'er and Xiao Qiniang, and then they retreated.
"Sister Man'er has been busy all morning. I'm afraid she's hungry now. I went so abruptly in the morning that you didn't even have breakfast."
"It's okay." Li Man'er said nonchalantly: "We doctors are all like this. When we encounter patients, how can we take care of food? Patients are the most important."
Xiao Qiniang lowered her head slightly and said, "My sister is really a kind-hearted doctor, very capable, and beautiful."
Liu Ya felt so strange that these seven girls had changed their temper and started to praise their girls.
"Sister, you might as well eat two pieces of snacks to cushion your stomach. When father wakes up, I will send someone to book a table. Thank you sister for your kindness."
Li Man'er readily agreed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Good tea, this tea is so fragrant, I feel like I have never had it in the capital."
"This tea is our local tea. It may not be the same as what you have drunk before, but women like it very much, but men say that this tea has a bit of sweetness and can't drink it."
Li Man'er nodded, "That means they are not lucky."
"There are no absolutes. There are men who like to drink this kind of tea, but there are just fewer of them." Xiao Qiniang cheered up and said to Li Man'er: "Sister, you might as well have another snack. This snack is not as exquisite as the ones in the capital, but sister can
Don’t dislike it.”
Li Man'er picked up a piece of pastry and looked at it twice, "This pastry has a rich milky flavor. Is it made from milk?"
"Yes." Xiao Qiniang said: "I didn't expect my sister to understand these things on the stove."
"I didn't expect that you want me to be your stepmother when I consider you a friend." Li Man'er threw the snack on the plate and looked at Xiao Qiniang with cold eyes, "Miss Xiao Qiniang, this
I'm afraid the snacks and this tea are all mixed with something, right? I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy them."
